Not only the ordinary residents of Kurast have a strong fear of the wild waters, but also the job changers.
The lake looks dark, but it shouldn't be deep. There are dead trees sticking out of the water in many places. Calling it a lake is actually a bit of an exaggeration.
However, Mo Bei and the other two people felt very afraid of such a small area of water.
So no matter how curious you are about why those dwarfs keep emerging from the water, you can't go into the water to see what's going on.
The three of them landed directly on the small island with a fire. There were monsters within the shooting range. Milor no longer needed to punch Mo Bei. He raised his bow and fired at the shore, and the Valkyrie came back again. Appeared next to the three people.
Those dwarves who saw their kind being killed turned around and looked at the small island in the middle of the lake. After discovering a few humans, they just hesitated for a moment, then turned around and passed through the gradually quietened Thornwood Demon Forest, and continued running. Going in the direction of the harbor, there wasn't even one who wanted to cause trouble to Mo Bei and the others.
This situation made the three of them even more vigilant. What is there on this island that makes them stay away from each other like this?
Mo Bei took another look at the Valkyrie summoned this time. She was still exactly the same as Milor. There was no difference in appearance and appearance, and a question flashed in his mind. It's just that now is not the time to think about these things, so I just don't say anything. He took out his sword and shield and slowly approached the circle of stone tablets.
It is said that it is a stone tablet, which is just an irregular stone with one side polished. There are some big and some small. Each piece is engraved with different runes on the flat surface. There are twelve pieces in total.
They are placed quite regularly, with the larger ones in the outer circle and the smaller ones in the inner circle. The inner and outer circles are about one step apart. The stone tablets of different sizes form two overlapping and staggered ones under the undetectable fire line. The six-pointed star array.
These stones engraved with runes reminded Mo Bei of the teleportation circle leading to Tristram, and Perona also gave a similar judgment. This should be a teleportation circle.
But judging from the dwarfs constantly emerging from the water, the transmission point of this magic circle is set underwater? Why go to all this trouble? . . It can't be just to mess with those short legs, right?
The three of them looked at each other, but even Perona couldn't explain the reason.
She extended her mental power, touched the flame, and extinguished it by isolating the fire element.
The fire was also bizarre. After it was extinguished, there was nothing to burn underneath, only a dagger stuck on the ground.
This dagger is less than a foot long and has a simple shape. It doesn't even have a hand guard behind the long and narrow diamond-shaped dagger blade.
"Cannot ingest." Perona said aloud.
She had already tried using telekinesis to pull out the dagger. After all, no one knew what would happen if she stepped forward rashly. However, this simple dagger seemed to be of the same level as the Horadric Cube, and telekinesis could not Move it.
After hearing this, Milor asked the Valkyrie to step forward and walk into the circle of stone tablets.
The three people behind them were leaning against each other, focusing on the powerful enemies that might be lurking underwater, as well as the possible changes that might occur within the circle of stone monuments.
But until the Valkyrie reached out and grasped the handle of the dagger, nothing happened.
"pull."
Perona nodded slightly to Milor, who had a questioning look, and spread her wings at the same time, ready to take the two of them into the sky at any time.
But after two breaths, Valkyrie let go of the dagger and stood up directly.
"...She can't pull it out. There seems to be a strong force binding the dagger." Milor said helplessly.
Mo Bei thought for a while, took out the bone-breaking hammer, stepped forward and gave one of the stone tablets a blow, and the stone tablet shattered into several pieces. Seeing that there was no follow-up reaction, he smashed several more pieces in one go.
"Try again. The magic circle should be broken now, right?"
As Mo Bei spoke, he noticed that Perona curled her lips speechlessly, as if she looked down on his method of breaking the magic circle.
"It just works." He shrugged at Peroian.
"Boom!!!!"
Immediately afterwards, there seemed to be a thick rope in the ground that was broken by a huge force, and there was a dull sound!
At the same time, the entire lake surface was centered on the small island at their feet, and a shock wave instantly spread out. The water surface splashed with countless fine water splashes, and all the dead trees soaked in the water were shattered into pieces.
There was no outward repelling force, and the water surface calmed down after a short and strong shock, even calmer than before.
Just before this, there were a steady stream of dwarfs climbing ashore from the water, but now there was no one left, but soon the dark water surface became filled with blood, and then pieces of broken wreckage surfaced. Look, When it got up, it should be the body fragments of those dwarfs, floating everywhere.
Looking at the Valkyrie again, she had already calmly walked back with the dagger.
"Is this body of water a portal?"
Mo Bei often learned some magic knowledge from Perona. He was no longer the novice who didn't understand anything at the time, and now he also understood something.
The movement just now must have been the collapse of the transmission channel, smashing all the dwarfs still inside into pieces. .
Perona nodded, confirming his guess. It's just a pity for the loot that sank into the mud at the bottom of the lake. Although the dwarf's explosion rate is relatively pitiful, if so many died at once, the drop should be considerable. It would be too time-consuming and laborious to salvage it.
"You see what a fuss this is... we didn't know about it before... I hope you dwarfs don't have such evil stories in their afterlife..."
Mo Bei looked at the tragic scene on the lake and smacked his mouth, feeling that the death of these short legs was a bit unfair.
Milor, who was originally on guard, couldn't help tightening his lips when he heard this, and relaxed a little.
She saw that with the turmoil just now, the forest of Thornwood Demon by the lake gradually collapsed. There was no burning phenomenon when it was killed. It seemed that it had been drained of power, and there was no movement at all.
This forest seems to have been transformed into a wood-piercing demon because of the layout here. So what kind of power does this dagger contain?
She conveyed her thoughts to the Valkyrie and handed the dagger into Mo Bei's hands.
"Scathimmi Holy Sword, Gidbin?"
Mo Bei looked at the dagger in his hand and blurted out.
Peroan's eyes widened slightly. After being reminded like this, he also connected the appearance of this dagger with the description in the literature he had read.
The personal belongings of all successive Popes of Zakarum, the Holy Sword of Skazimmi!
This is an artifact that contains huge energy. It was not forged for killing, but its specific function is not clearly recorded. It seems that it is only passed down orally among the popes.
The whereabouts of this artifact were unknown after Klimt was killed, but it suddenly appeared here. It was obviously regarded as the eye of this teleportation circle, triggering a wave of monsters to attack the Kurast harbor.
As the last batch of dwarves disappeared into the forest, the surroundings fell completely silent. The three of them all felt that this incident was a bit anticlimactic. They had cut off the source of the monster wave so easily and found such a lost artifact.
But thinking about it in retrospect, if they hadn't been able to restrain the teleportation of Venn, the Finger of Space, it would have been difficult to pass through the Thorny Wood Demon Forest under its constant attack.
Even if you force your way through, facing the lake that leads directly to the monster dwarf's base camp, there seems to be no other way to get to the island in the middle of the lake except by flying.
The layout here is quite strict, but this time the challengers are not very reasonable. .
