Not only was there not a lot of these things, they were also not eye-catching. If one were to estimate their value, including the ones that had been used, it would be equivalent to one-fifth of the wealth of the entire Mountain Edge City. Moreover, it was the most essential part. Some of the materials were the kind that could only be encountered and not sought after. Even if one had the money, they might not necessarily be able to buy them.
It was clear that the list contained not only the materials that were needed, but also the materials that could be substituted. Therefore, not all of the things that were collected were used. Although many of the rare materials were used, the remaining could be reclaimed by the association and would still belong to the Demon King. This was something that was neglected in the original agreement and was not mentioned.
Therefore, Eversley braced himself and asked, "Is there still a need for these things?"
"Oh." Fen followed Eversley's gaze. Of course, she knew what he was referring to.
It was hard to say what Lin would say if he was the one making the decision. However, as the former Demon King, the Lich who had been resurrected after a thousand years, Fen did not have the values of this era. Even after being resurrected, with a rich man by her side, she did not experience the pain of not having enough money, nor did she have to live a frugal life.
Therefore, she did not plan to bring along the pile of trash that was no longer useful to her. However, it seemed that the other party still valued it, which gave her room to maneuver.
She did not think that she would be asking for too much from the start. The browser that was thrown out in exchange, as well as the decision of the association's president, Eversley, were all unusual situations. It was precisely because everyone agreed too easily that it caused her to misunderstand. Of course, even if Fen truly understood the value of these things, she would probably have the same attitude.
Fen ignored the changes in the minds of the others and thought about her own possible needs. She asked, "Do you have a map of the Land of the Lost?"
"Map?" The topic suddenly changed, and Eversley did not know how to react.
Fen continued, "It's a map of the Land of the Lost. It leads to the various capitals, major cities, and the headquarters of the various branches of the Society of Sorcerers. Of course, the more detailed the better. A few days ago, we went to the association and the adventurers' guild to ask for information about these kinds of maps. However, everyone said that they only had a map of the Basque region. Perhaps the person I asked was not of a high enough rank. Do you have a map of the Land of the Lost? "
"Yes!" Eversky nodded and said, "But it's an old map from 30 years ago. It includes all the countries and most of the cities in the Mysterious Land. Apart from the fact that the Northern District was embroiled in war, and that the borders and the name of the country were a little confusing, the other parts should be roughly in line with reality. Would such a map work? Your Highness. "
"Very well, that's it. After you send the map over, you can bring the rest of the items back with you. "Fen did not mention the word 'deal', but inadvertently set the tone for this matter. "I'm going to retrieve that item now."
Led by Archmage Eversley, a group of Basque mages lowered their heads and said in unison, "Thank you for your trouble, Archmage Tikal."
Fen didn't go alone. Instead, she picked up the man who was still rubbing his face and asked the two girls to return to the inn where they were staying. The matters here would naturally be handled by the Basque branch. At the same time, there was also a Magic Apprentice who acted as a guide.
He was the president of the Basque branch and a student of Mage Eversky. In addition to his duties as a guide, he also had the intention of monitoring more or less. Everyone had a tacit understanding as they walked on the streets outside the mountain as the sky gradually brightened.
Looking at the sky in the east, Lin realized that he had been busy the whole night. Even if he was used to staying up late, he couldn't help but yawn. After taking a few deep breaths, he asked Lich who was walking beside him. "Oh right, what's the point of bringing me here on a business trip? I can't help much with this. If I can't get into the fog, then everything will be in vain. "
"It's nothing, I'm just using you as an experiment. You probably won't die, probably. "
"… … Oh."
"What, you look like you have nothing to live for. Aren't you going to fight back?"
A pair of dead fish eyes tilted 45 degrees to the side and said weakly, "I can't beat you, what's the point of fighting back? Just remember to give me a quick death when the time comes. "
"Haha." Finch chuckled but didn't say anything else. She could feel that Lin Sanjiu had applied the behavior of all the sacrifices in the Basque region to her, thinking that if she was forced to go into the dangerous area, she would definitely not be able to return.
However, what Finch didn't say was that even in her heyday, there were very few people who could see the outline of the dominators and not die or go crazy. Only those "gods" were confident that after the initial contact, they could still maintain their consciousness.
Therefore, this trip was also to test this man's bottom line. If there was really a difference, she hoped to see the truth of that power through the difference between Lin and the others.
They came to the teleportation magic circle, and with the help of the president's apprentice, they directly went through the magic circle to the xviii (18th) level, which was not completely covered by the fog.
On the 18th level, a group of mages was standing guard next to the magic circle. Although the fog from the 20th level didn't completely cover the entire level, it was already having an impact. To be safe, the president had ordered the evacuation of the people living on this level. Instead, they were replaced by the third squadron of the alliance of mages.
The alliance set up a line of defense at the stairs leading to the next level. They wanted to kill or destroy the monsters that came out of the fog as soon as possible.
Also, because the teleportation circle from the 19th to the 21st level had stopped working for some unknown reason. In order to prevent the teleportation circle from being used by the monsters, a small team of mages was added next to the teleportation circle on each level. In addition to warning in case of an accident, they also had the task of guarding the teleportation circle.
When someone appeared from the teleportation circle, the team members in charge of guarding the teleportation circle also felt strange. This was because the 18th level should have been forbidden to enter, and the mages operating the teleportation circle should know this clearly. Why would they let someone come up?
"Your Excellency." The president's apprentice stepped forward and respectfully explained to the mages guarding the teleportation circle, "According to the president's instructions, Archmage Tikal and Archmage Trippwood have already prepared a solution to the disaster. The president ordered the alliance to let the two of them enter the Erosion Zone. "
The captain saw the president's token, and the magic apprentice in front of him was more or less a celebrity, so he recognized him. Therefore, he said, "Can the problem upstairs be solved? Thank the heavens and the earth. I can't leave here because of my duty. You should know the direction of the stairs to the upper level. My colleagues from the third squadron will be there. Let's go through them. I heard that there are more and more monsters coming down. Although I haven't heard of anyone breaking through their defenses, please be careful if you want to go. "
After getting the general situation, the apprentice led the two of them in the direction indicated. The feeling of desolation along the way was hard to hide. Now that everyone was gone, there was a strange atmosphere in the mountain fortress. It was unknown if this feeling was originally like this, or if it was the psychological effect of the strange fog that spread down from the 20th level.
Early in the morning, it was the time for the mages on the defensive line to change shifts. After the president's apprentice came forward to explain the purpose of his visit, Fen ignored everyone and walked straight into the range of the strange fog. Of course, she didn't forget to grab a certain man who wanted to escape.
The mountain fortress had poor lighting, so they followed the road system designed by the dwarves. And under the cover of the fog, the light was even more hazy. There was no beauty in it at all. It was more of a sense of horror. It was like walking in a silent hill and could fall into another world at any time.
In such an environment, in the dead silence, Lin could only grab the magic staff in his hand and look around nervously. Horror movies and games were never his specialty, let alone what would happen if he was in one. No matter how he looked at it, he was more like a walk-on who died to create a tense and scary atmosphere.
"Catch." The Lich who was walking in front suddenly shouted and threw the container into Lin's arms. At the same time, he pulled out two magic guns from his waist and fired in different directions. The bullets formed a chain and drilled into the fog.
A low roar came from the direction of the shooting. After a certain person was scared to the extreme, he made up his mind and smashed the jar. Because he had to hold the container in one hand, Lin had to put the magic staff into his belt, take out the Smith & Wesson M29 again, and pull the hammer.
Although he was still in a dangerous place, the number of enemies this time was not like the last time, when he was led into a ditch by a certain daring Lich. That time in the vampires' stronghold castle, the number of enemies could be said to be overwhelming. This time, the enemies attacked sparsely.
However, although the number of enemies was small, it was not as easy to kill as last time. Fortunately, the magic gun used by the Lich did not have a limit on ammunition, so he could keep pushing forward and make the people guarding behind him look like they were there to do nothing.
Perhaps he was extremely scared, so he threw caution to the wind. Lin was able to use a calmer gaze to look at everything that was happening around him.
If one were to use the simplest way to describe it, it would be twisted. All objects that could be seen, felt, and even everything that could be seen had different degrees of distortion. And this distortion did not only exist in cognition and vision, but also in reality.
Sometimes, it felt like a distance that was only a few steps away, but in the process of moving forward, he might encounter several waves of enemies. Sometimes, it looked like they were far away, but in one step, they were already in front of him.
All kinds of phenomena made Lin ponder. The first question he had to ask was, what were the dominators? It seemed that the answer to this question should not be found in mythology or physics, but in mathematics.
