Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi worked together to kill Ludwig. They didn't rely on Ahan.
Although Ahan had fought Ludwig in the Hub Hall, several hours had passed, and Ludwig's HP and status had fully recovered. Hence, Ahan's battle score wouldn't be deducted.
The battle score was A, so Li Shuyi drew three times in a row.
"You've received an item: Smoke Bomb."
"You've received a gold item: Traveler's Boots."
"You've received a skill book: Backstab."
The Smoke Bomb was a necessary item for Ludwig to use the Smoke Bomb skill. It was only a B + item, and its effect was to create a smokescreen area to block the enemy's line of sight and make allies in the smokescreen invisible. Within the smokescreen, the invisible state would always exist.
However, after leaving the smokescreen area, the invisible state would only last for a short time.
The other skill book was Backstab. It could only be used from behind the target, and the damage dealt would be doubled.
The skill book was quite good. Although Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi couldn't use it, they could use it to trade. Due to the scarcity of skill books, many agility-type Awakened would have a need for them.
Finally, there was the gold item, Traveler's Boots. It didn't have any additional skills, but it added 3 points of agility and 3 points of physique. In addition, it had a general effect of increasing movement speed by 4%.
"Hey, isn't Ludwig a Naga? He doesn't have feet, so where did the shoes come from? "Bai Xiaowen complained, then handed the Traveler's Boots to Li Shuyi. He already had the gold item, Sharkskin Boots, while Li Shuyi's foot equipment was still blue.
"He used to be a human. Maybe he kept it as a souvenir from before he became a Naga." Li Shuyi happily took the Traveler's Boots and chose to equip it.
These two treasure chests gave him two gold items and several items. Most importantly, these two items could be used by Li Shuyi. They could increase his strength, so it was a good deal. Moreover, there were silver items.
After drawing the treasure chests, Bai Xiaowen was more concerned about the prophecy mission of the Bracelet of Misfortune.
According to Bai Xiaowen's speculation, this prophecy mission should be to make seven prophecies about the locations of the Seven Sacred Artifacts.
If all seven prophecies were to fail, then most of the potential of the Bracelet of Misfortune would not be activated, and it would only be a Gold equipment with a single attribute.
If all seven prophecies were fulfilled, then according to the Spiritual Realm's rules, it could be shaped into a top-grade Dark Gold equipment. The gap between them was obvious.
Bai Xiaowen took out the Prophecy Slate and looked at its smooth surface. He lamented, "How should I make the prophecy? There's no tutorial either … "
Li Shuyi: "… Should I shout at the prophecy tablet, like 'guide me' or something like that …"
"This is too childish … but I can only give it a try. Hmm, what I want to prophesy is the Seven Divine Weapons of Creation … "
Just as this thought crossed Bai Xiaowen's mind, a layer of dense smoke suddenly surged on the surface of the Prophecy Tablet. Then, Bai Xiaowen felt as if his mental power was being sucked away.
"So all I have to do is hold the Prophecy Tablet and think about it?"
Bai Xiaowen did not resist and allowed his mental power to enter freely. In that instant, he felt as if his soul had left his body. It was as if he had become infinitely light, like a glowing eyeball that traversed through mountains and rivers.
The infinitely deep passageway was filled with deformed monsters that walked in the darkness. At the end of the passageway was a vast valley. Lighthouses lit up one after another, and finally, there was a magnificent cathedral with the emblem of the sun engraved on it. A humanoid monster with blood-red eyes was holding a large, flashing bow.
After seeing this large bow, the eyeball formed by Bai Xiaowen's mental power instantly rose into the air and traversed an unknown distance again.
This time, it was a dark and damp tomb that extended down layer after layer. The sleeping warriors in the tomb woke up one after another and roared as they stood up! In the lowest level of the tomb, there was a statue of a burly king, holding a large axe with both hands.
Then, Bai Xiaowen's mental power traversed again …
It traversed a total of seven times before his soul finally returned to his body.
Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes. Beside him was Li Shuyi with a concerned expression.
Ahan and Queen Camelot had returned long ago. The three of them surrounded Bai Xiaowen together, their six eyes staring at him.
"How long has it been?" Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised.
"A few hours," Li Shuyi said.
"That long? I feel like only a few seconds have passed. "Bai Xiaowen shook his head.
The scene that his soul had just seen was a little blurry, like the scenery outside the window through a layer of foggy glass. Bai Xiaowen knew that this was the Prophecy Tablet's guide to the location of the Seven Holy Artifacts.
Bai Xiaowen complained inwardly. Instead of giving such a guide, it would have been better to just give him a map of the Blacktide Continent and then draw seven crosses on it …
But thinking about it, this should be the special nature of the mission. It required Bai Xiaowen to find the location of the Seven Holy Artifacts based on the blurry scene he saw.
Queen Camelot looked at Bai Xiaowen expectantly. "You were using the Prophecy Tablet just now, right? Where are the Seven Holy Artifacts? "
"Actually, I only saw …"
Bai Xiaowen suddenly received a notification from the spirit realm's laws:
"Warning: The Prophecy Tablet's guide is only known to the prophet. The prophet is not allowed to reveal the contents of the tablet's guide to anyone. Otherwise, the prophet will lose a corresponding amount of lifespan (depending on the importance of the guide). "
"Note: As an Awakened, if you violate the above rules, although your lifespan will not be reduced, the prophecy mission [Prophet's Mission] will fail directly."
Bai Xiaowen understood. The first warning referred to the punishment for breaking the rules when a spirit realm character acted as a prophet. The second warning was for breaking the rules when an Awakened acted as a prophet.
Although the guide could not be revealed, the prophet could determine the target location based on his own knowledge and the guidance of the Prophecy Tablet and guide the location to other heroes. These two were not contradictory.
For example, if the prophet saw a poisonous snake at the target location in the Prophecy Tablet, he could not directly tell the hero that there was a poisonous snake due to the rules, but he could tell the hero to bring some antidotes. If the prophet saw that the target location was below a cliff, he could not directly tell the hero that there was a cliff, but he could tell the hero to bring some ropes.
"No wonder the prophets in the movies all have a lot of white beards, and they like to be mysterious … It turns out that they have no choice. Of course, they want to tell you everything they 'see', but saying it will consume their lifespan. Who would do such a loss-making deal …"
If it was a guide for a small matter, such as finding a lost kitten, it would be fine. It might only cost a little lifespan. But for a guide at the level of the Seven Holy Artifacts, if he violated the rules, he would probably die directly.
"It's not easy to be a prophet …"
Bai Xiaowen sighed inwardly, then said to Queen Camelot and Ahon, "I can't say."
The two powerhouses of the Blacktide Plane were dumbfounded.
"Then do you know where the Seven Holy Artifacts are?" Queen Camelot changed the way she asked.
"Sort of … But I don't know yet." Bai Xiaowen scratched his head.
Ahon: "…"
Queen Camelot: "…"
Li Shuyi (touching Bai Xiaowen's forehead): "…"
As soon as he got the Prophecy Tablet, Bai Xiaowen felt that he was developing into a fraud. He quickly said, "It's like this. I got some information, but I need to verify it to find the location of the Seven Holy Artifacts. Do you know where there are ancient documents about the Blacktide Continent? The more, the better. "
Ahon shook his head. Queen Camelot said, "Speaking of ancient documents, our Camelot Royal Library has a lot of information stored, most of which are myths, epics, legends, and anecdotes. There are also many legends about the Seven Holy Artifacts, but most of them are self-created by bored bards, so there's not much reference value. "
"That's good," Bai Xiaowen said. "I can distinguish the authenticity of those legends and make a prophecy about the Seven Holy Artifacts."
Queen Camelot and Ahon were a little excited.
"In that case, let's hurry to the Camelot Kingdom. How many days will it take to get there? "Li Shuyi also knew that Bai Xiaowen and her only had seven days left.
"The key is, where are we?" Bai Xiaowen said. "Without knowing where we are, there's no way to plan the route. Did you determine the direction when you went out just now? "
Ahon replied, "This place is a bit like the Chila Mountain Range not far from Hodge Town. When I looked at the direction of the mountain range outside the hall, I felt a sense of familiarity."
Queen Camelot said, "I don't know about other things, but according to the common sense of the Orb of Teleportation, the closer the distance between the two orbs, the more cost is saved. Every time the orb is used, the less magic power is consumed. Since the Church of Fate built these two orbs to return to the Darktide Continent from the inner secret chamber, this hall should be located by the sea. "
"That's right, Hodge Town is by the sea," Bai Xiaowen said.
Ahon said, "But the Camelot Kingdom is not close to Hodge Town. It will take three days on horseback to get there."
Queen Camelot smiled and said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble."
Everyone's eyes turned to the beautiful and noble queen.
"There's a Orb of Teleportation here, and in the capital of Camelot, there are many orbs in my Mage Tower. Among them, there's a blank orb that hasn't been used yet," Queen Camelot said. "As long as I adjust the magic runes on this orb and establish a connection with the blank orb in the Mage Tower, we can teleport directly."
Bai Xiaowen wanted to say that it would cost a lot to build a Orb of Teleportation for such a long distance, but when he thought of Queen Camelot's status and wealth, he wisely swallowed his words.
From this, it could be seen that saving Queen Carmelo while doing the Main Storyline Quest was very beneficial. Not only did it save a few days of travel time, but it also allowed him to enter the Royal Library to read ancient texts and legends. This was a rare opportunity.
Ahon said, "I have to go back to Hodge Town …"
Seeing the puzzled eyes of the others, Ahon's expression was a little heavy. "I feel that the time for the Nagas to come ashore and attack the Darktide Continent is not far … Hodge Town is by the sea. If the prophecy of the end of the world comes true and the sea level rises, the coastal towns will be the first to suffer … I have to go back and take everyone to a higher place inland."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly. Ahon's speculation was reasonable and not groundless.
After the battle in the Hall of Eradication, everyone entered the inner secret room. That abnormal "earthquake" was definitely not a natural disaster. It was most likely caused by the big boss forcibly descending in an incomplete 80% container state.
Ahon continued, "You guys go to the capital of Camelot first. I'll help the people of Hodge Town find a place to settle down, and then I'll come find you."
Queen Camelot said, "That's too hasty. It'll be difficult for you to find a suitable place to settle so many people. Why don't you bring them to Camelot? I'll have the Minister of the Interior arrange a suitable place for them to settle down. "
Ahon bowed gratefully. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your kindness shines upon the entire Darktide Continent." Although Queen Camelot's territory did not include Hodge Town and was not Ahon's superior, Ahon's gratitude came from the bottom of his heart.
When Ahon was about to walk out of the hall, Bai Xiaowen said, "Ahon, although you have a high prestige in Hodge Town, it's still difficult to make so many people leave their homes with you based on an unconfirmed prophecy of the end of the world. I suggest that you don't be too demanding. It's enough to persuade most people to leave with you. As for those who are determined not to believe you, you can't take them with you. Don't hesitate. That will only lead to the fate of destruction for all of them. "
Ahon was silent for a while. Bai Xiaowen was now a prophet, and his words naturally carried weight.
"I understand."
After Ahon left, Queen Camelot began to busy herself around the Orb of Teleportation. She took out precious materials of various colors and engraved corresponding magic runes. Then, she placed them around the Orb of Teleportation in a certain order.
According to Queen Camelot, these magic runes were supposed to be buried in the ground according to the direction of the magic power of the veins. They would absorb the magic power of the veins and take effect for a long time. However, she didn't have the time to do that now. They could only be used as disposable items.
Bai Xiaowen looked at several materials, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
[Adamantine: Precious. It can be used as currency in certain planes. It can also be exchanged for 4,500 spiritual energy points in the settlement interface.]
[Yellow Crystal: Precious. It can be exchanged for 6,000 spiritual energy points in the settlement interface.]
[Ruby (Large): Precious. It can be exchanged for 3,000 spiritual energy points in the settlement interface.]
There were also other items such as dragon scales, demonic bear skins, flying snake wings, and so on. There was no need to go into detail.
Bai Xiaowen's heart was a little scratchy, but he still held back and didn't ask for them. Although Queen Camelot would probably give them to him if he asked, Bai Xiaowen didn't want to be looked down upon by her because of this and have her favorability drop.
After completing the second main storyline mission, Bai Xiaowen, Ahon, and Queen Camelot's favorability had reached the level of friend and friend respectively. Queen Camelot's favorability was at the level of admiration.
Friendship with Queen Camelot was very important. Using favorability to exchange for spiritual energy points? It wasn't worth it.
Bai Xiaowen didn't lack spiritual energy points. He had a territory and was a big boss who did cross-border trade.
"Okay, it's finally done."
