With the "leader" present, everyone was a lot more reserved. But Roddy was not surprised, "Lord Victor, how about a crab?"
"Hmm? Then I'll have one. "
Victor was still approachable, but when he sat next to Roddy, he still said, "I really have to sigh. To be honest, I have never seen a human being as calm as you before. "
"Maybe it's because humans have not been the mainstream of the continent for a long time."
Roddy grabbed a basket of crabs and roasted them together, then distributed them to the other Dragons around him. So there was the strange scene of a bunch of bored Dragons eating crabs in front of the bonfire.
Unlike on Earth, the crabs caught in this season were all "Quercus crabs". If they had enough time to grow, they could even become magical beasts with a body length of one or two meters. These crabs were a lot bigger than a palm, and they tasted sweet and fresh. When Roddy was almost done eating, he asked, "Could the 'Space-Time Rift' be underground?"
"If it's underground, the creatures on the surface will also show abnormalities, so it's easy to distinguish. But now it seems that this possibility has not been found. "
Victor was not stingy to tell Roddy these secrets, because this was not something he could covet with his current strength, "So I think this thing should not be on the surface, or else the Cosworth Earth Dragon would have died long ago."
Roddy nodded and did not say anything. The dragons rested for about ten minutes and were ready to continue their search. Roddy sat in front of the bonfire in a daze. Camilla had already fallen asleep, so he took out his things and looked through them. He found that the papers that Houdini handed to him were also brought over.
Opening it, Roddy realized that it was a record of Houdini's dream last night. After reading it hastily, Roddy suddenly froze, because he also saw a simple illustration that Houdini had drawn on the paper …
"Isn't this the place where we caught crabs in the afternoon?"
Combined with Houdini's description of him being "dragged down by the whirlpool", there was only one thought left in Roddy's mind: It can't be so coincidental, right?
"What happened?"
Sodelor, who was keeping watch by the campfire, asked curiously. However, he saw Roddy get up and say, "Come with me!"
The sleeping Nora hurriedly got up. While the three of them were running, Roddy happened to bump into Basta, who was silently searching for the crack. He suddenly had an idea. He turned around and called out to Bast, "Sir Basta, I feel like we have overlooked something!"
The latter did not think much of Roddy's words. "Are you kidding me? Even the Dragons can't find the dimensional rift. What can you humans find?" However, it just so happened that he was bored and wanted to build a good relationship with Roddy in order to pursue Kardashian, so he followed.
Roddy did not say anything. After he ran to the water area, he used the Illumination Spell to compare it with the simple map drawn by Houdini. Then he found that everything matched!
He found that Houdini's position in the dream was only five or six meters away from the shore, so he summoned the water elemental to investigate. Basta watched from the side and said strangely, "In the water? This place has not been searched. "
However, before he finished speaking, they all saw the water elemental, which had just walked to the center of the area, suddenly struggle. In less than two seconds, it was suddenly sucked into the bottom of the water. Except for the churning water, there was no sound at all.
"This …"
Basta's eyeballs almost popped out, but the one who was even more shocked was actually Rody. But he did not show it. Instead, he held down Basta, who was about to cast a spell to inform everyone, whispered a few words, and then called Sodelor and Nora to leave.
When they were a hundred meters away, Basta's magic signal suddenly rose into the air. The next moment, the scattered Dragons quickly gathered. Roddy and the others pretended not to know and ran all the way to the shore. When they reached, he asked, "Found it?"
"Found it!"
Victor was overjoyed. Obviously, he did not notice Roddy's little action just now. He said happily, "I really did not expect it to hide in the water! No wonder it did not reveal any clues … Even if there are fish in the living water area, they will not stay here. If it was not for Basta's curiosity, I'm afraid we would have searched for a few days in vain! "
The other dragons immediately complimented Basta, and Victor even promised a lot of rewards verbally. This made Basta very excited. His originally indifferent face was filled with an irrepressible smile.
But when he looked at Roddy, he very secretly gave him a thumbs up. When Roddy saw this scene, he knew that this favor had been successfully given.
Only then did he let out a deep sigh of relief. It was said that being in the king's company was like being with a tiger. In fact, this was the feeling of dealing with the most powerful Dragons … Speaking of which, Roddy was also puzzled. He had roasted a crab and did nothing else, but he almost offended a powerful Frost Dragon. If he did not rely on quick wits to shift the blame and salvage the situation, who knew whether Basta would give him a "surprise" in the future?
Roddy obviously knew his own strength. To deal with the Frost Dragon Race, he would definitely rope in as many as he could. Deliberately making enemies was completely a road to death. But in terms of favoritism, of course, he would stand on Kardashian's side. After all, she was the one who would stay in Elsen City in the future. No matter how difficult it was to serve this ancestor, he had to coax her.
As for Basta? It was enough to know that he was used to thinking with the lower half of his body.
Aside from these, at this time, the most frightening thing for Roddy was Houdini's dream. This was obviously not in the scope of ordinary magic. If the accuracy of spying on the "future" was so high, then he was definitely a strategic weapon more terrible than Elsen City itself!
Because of this, the fewer people who knew this news, the better. If he was the one who found the "space-time crack", the other Dragons would certainly be jealous of him. If he was asked how he found it, how would Roddy dare to lie in front of the Dragons?
Once Houdini's ability was revealed, only God knew whether these dragons would drag him away for research.
But by taking advantage of Basta's desire to show off and careful thoughts, Roddy successfully sealed this secret, so that even Basta himself did not understand the reason.
Victor used magic to separate the river, and then Roddy had the opportunity to see the true face of the "space-time crack". It was called a "crack", but in fact, it was a miniature version of the "Demon's Gate". But there was no reflection of the scenery of other planes inside the gate, only extreme darkness. This reminded him of the word "black hole".
Of course, if this was a black hole, the whole continent would probably be sucked in. A lot of knowledge that Hawking had popularized inexplicably appeared in Roddy's mind, but he felt that these things might not necessarily work in this world, so he shook his head and asked about the "zirconium crystal".
Victor naturally agreed. He raised his hand and controlled a few stones scattered around the "planar crack" to fly in front of Roddy. "The formation of zirconium crystal is more difficult. If it was on land, it would be fine, but in the stream …"
He sighed with some regret. "The constant scouring of the water will take away most of the energy contained in the 'zirconium crystal', so there are not many zirconium crystals in this' planar crack '."
This situation was a bit unexpected, but Roddy glanced at it and found that there were more than a dozen zirconium crystals. He was relieved — at least the mission conditions were met.
He thanked Hao Ren again and again, and then stepped back. Obviously, these dragons were very excited about the "planar crack" and had a lot of questions to ask. Victor answered them one by one in dragon language, just like a live lecture mode.
Roddy did not understand anyway, so he opened the [Quest Bar] and glanced at it.
[Trace the Source of the Devil] mission showed "Completed", and 124500 experience points were credited. At the same time, the second step was also shown. But when Roddy read the content, he immediately rolled his eyes.
"You've successfully found the ruins of the Demon's Gate, but you've also realized a new danger.
The waves released by the Demon Monarch have caused many effects, and this is just one of them. Before the effects spread, we need to find more ruins of the 'Demon's Gate' and try our best to prevent the harmful effects from spreading! "
Quest Objective: Find the ruins of the Demonic Gate 0/3
Mission Reward: 458600 experience points
Skill "Demon Lock"
"Demon Lock!"
Mana Cost 180
Lasts 18 seconds
Cooldown: 3 minutes
Effect: Locks on a demon target, increases attack power by 10%, critical hit rate by 2%
Roddy was no stranger to this skill. Just like the Tracking skill, he once had the Beast Lock skill. Although the effect seemed average, it was very good for single-target damage. When all the skills were focused, this skill would at least double the damage output for 18 seconds.
Although the skill was not bad, the content of the quest gave Roddy a headache. It was already so difficult to find a space-time rift, where could he find the other three? He did not have a satellite radar, and this was all a blind cat finding a dead mouse.
Looking for Houdini?
Roddy did not think that Houdini, a "random player" who relied on dreams, could accurately locate the other space-time rifts, so he could only silently go over and ignore it for the time being.
The other quest, [Arcane Light: Awakening], was not completed. Roddy guessed that it was because he had not stored the zirconium crystals in the Jailor yet. Right now, he did not want to show too many secrets in front of the dragons, so he proposed to return to Elsen City in advance.
In fact, Victor did not want Roddy to continue watching here, so he readily agreed. Kardashian was already upset because of Basta's existence, and she could not wait to leave here. She immediately said, "I'll take them to Elsen City."
In fact, before she spoke, Basta, who was next to her, was also ready to speak. Obviously, he wanted to go with her. But Kardashian did not give him the chance. She quickly added, "I'll stay in Elsen after I get there. I'll let you know if there's any news."
She said this to Victor, but she glared at Basta. The latter was about to defend himself, but when he inadvertently glanced at Roddy, he found that the human was quietly making a "no" gesture.
