"There's nothing in there, but there's something suspicious here."
Kardashian pointed at the ground, and a lot of scattered debris floated up. Roddy took a look and found that they were all rocks. It was difficult to put them together. It seemed that they were completely destroyed in the explosion.
"This should be the footprints of the attacker."
Essien used a spell to make the shallow pit on the ground more obvious. The Dragons had amazing insight. Finding clues was a piece of cake for them. "Looks like he's not taller than Stika."
"Hey, what do you mean?"
Stika was the shortest of the five Dragons. He rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction and picked up a crystal from the ground. "This is a fragment of a Magic crystal, but it looks strange. It's probably not caused by an internal explosion. It fell when it was broken by brute force."
"Broken by brute force?"
Roddy turned his head in confusion. Iscar explained, "If the Magic crystal exploded due to internal instability, the crystal fragments wouldn't appear like this. When we do some research, we need to apply external force to open a 'window' in the Magic crystal. The energy that gushes out will cause a small crack in the Magic crystal … But this is very dangerous. Even we don't use it. After all, the energy dissipates very quickly. If we're not careful, the entire lab might be destroyed. "
The Dragons were master spellcasters. They did all kinds of experiments on a daily basis. But this was like playing with lit explosives. Normal Mages wouldn't dare to do it. Roddy was confused. "It wasn't the Dragons who attacked Natha. Do other races or forces have this ability?"
Everyone looked at each other. Kardashian gestured at Stika's height. "An attacker of this height … Only the Wood Elves in the Forest of Silent Whispers can do this, right?"
"If they dared to do this, they would have been blown to the sky."
Iscar shook his head. "Not just them. Even I wouldn't dare touch the Magic crystal like this."
"Could it be the High Elves?"
Roddy asked casually. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a notification popping up on his quest panel. After becoming Prime Minister, he hadn't received a new mission for a long time. He clicked on it and found that it said [Fog of History].
"The truth is often covered up, and the preserved history is always incomplete. Why did the High Elves perish? You need to find all the clues step by step. "
Requirement: Find new High Elf ruins
0/1
Search for the Secret of the Broken Magic Crystal (Incomplete)
Quest Reward: 24000 Experience Points
Obtained skill "Energy Devour"
Now, Roddy already understood that he had a connection with the quantum computer in another space. The generation of this kind of mission was obviously triggered by the "keyword". However, the conditions for completing this quest were very broad. How was he supposed to 'search for the secret'? Roddy did not see any notifications.
The quest reward made Roddy feel a little strange. There was no explanation for the "Energy Devour" skill, which left him scratching his head in confusion. However, the difficulty of the quest was displayed in green, which meant "extremely easy to complete."
Turning his head to look at the dragons who were discussing beside him, Roddy felt that the system's judgment of the difficulty of the quest was not a problem. With these guys around, other than the "counterattack on the Demonic Plane," the other quests would probably be "extremely easy to complete."
"… That's impossible. The so-called descendants of the High Elves in the Sacred Assembly have all taken on the appearance of humans. If they didn't flaunt their bloodline, who would treat them as High Elves?"
Iscar refuted Rubens' guess that there were High Elves in the forest, but the latter pointed at the forest and said, "What if there's a time barrier like Elson's that allows people from that era to live until now? Isn't Edith the Arcanist an example? "
"Edith died a long time ago. Only her soul is left. And she's a Grand Arcanist, not a nobody. "
Kardashian turned her head to look at Roddy. She noticed that he was in a daze and asked, "What do you think?"
Roddy shook his head and said, "Let's look for the ruins first. Stika, can you try to find it?"
The green dragon controlled the power of nature, so this kind of forest could be called "home field." Stika agreed readily and began to search for the target in the dragon language. However, after he closed his eyes and sensed for ten minutes, his expression became hesitant.
"Hey, hey, hey, no way? You can't find it? "
Rubens yelled. Kardashian reached out and slapped the back of his head. "Can't you shut up?"
A pale green light gradually appeared. Stika was obviously using all his strength. Roddy looked up and felt that the withered trees were shaking slightly. However, after a few minutes, Stika sighed and shook his head. "I can feel some buried ruins, but they are all buried stones or sculptures. There's no storage space."
"Maybe it's not around here. Let's find another place to look."
Roddy nodded, but Kardashian said another possibility. "Do you use plants to detect it? If there's a high-level concealment circle in the ruins, I'm afraid you can't find it, right? "
The Helcino Magic Tower had this ability. Although Stika was a dragon, he was not strong to the point where he was invincible. He had to admit this. However, he felt a little embarrassed that he could not help in this kind of thing. "Let me try again …"
"If we can't find the ruins, what if it's another mercenary group?"
Roddy suddenly said. "According to the status and trajectory of these mercenary groups, maybe we can find some clues?"
Stika slapped his head, almost knocking off his ugly sheepskin hat. "Hey! How could I forget this … I even pretended to be a mercenary. "
As he cast another spell, Stika, who had locked on several targets, quickly opened his eyes and said excitedly, "I've found a team. I heard them talking about the ruins. One of them is leading the team to that place!"
Roddy did not suspect anything. He exhaled and said, "Everyone, follow them!"
*****
"Is your brain full of sh * t?!"
While cursing, Bati kicked the stomach of the Wood Elf in front of him. The latter grunted and fell far away. The others standing on the side lowered their heads.
In the harsh winter, the Wood Elves, who were not wearing warm clothes, stood there and shivered. Listening to Bati's angry curses, the crystals in their hands were all put on a simple table by Bati. Logically speaking, this kind of magical crystal that had suffered external damage should have exploded and shattered long ago. However, at this moment, it maintained this state very stably, without any signs of energy leaking out.
"Nine people went there. Not only did you fail to complete the task, but you also left two people behind and escaped. How dare you stand in front of me and talk to me?"
Bati said and slapped the captain of the team several times. The captain's cheeks turned purple, and he was in so much pain that he cried. He was only 20 years old this year, and was considered a young member in the hunting team. Before this, he was not even qualified to shoot arrows when he went hunting. He could only follow behind and carry the game. But now, he was a strong captain who led the team to destroy four mercenary groups.
But in front of the village chief, Bati, he could only grit his teeth and hold back no matter how much he wanted to say. He had been brainwashed by the village chief, telling him that "the strong must endure pain". So he took this pain as the motivation to continue to become stronger, and he did not complain.
"From now on, increase your training. I don't care how painful your head is, or whether your body can take it. You have to understand, if you are not strong enough, you will all die outside today. Do you understand?!"
"Yes!"
