After confirming who had the weapon, Wa Yi quickly asked about Ma Qiusha's husband's whereabouts.
As expected, the man nicknamed "Crow" was now in the north of the third zone, which was one of the three secret underground tunnels that the hero team discovered. It was said that there were gold and all kinds of treasures inside, but it was very dangerous. Recently, almost all the members of the Hero Team had been stationed there.
Before Angor could say anything, the Black Earl spoke through their Spirit Bond, "Wa Yi, have someone lead the way for Neverwinter. You go with him and bring 'Crow' back."
Of course, Wa Yi didn't dare to disobey, so he quickly discussed with Neverwinter.
A moment later, Wa Yi replied, "Neverwinter agreed. Ma Qiusha will go with me. But … "
Wa Yi hesitated. "Mister Super Dimensional sealed the entrance to the cellar. I can't open it."
"I only set up a magic array at the entrance of the cellar. Do you know what I mean?"
Wa Yi: "Huh?"
Hearing Wa Yi's question, the stone slab on which the Black Earl's nose was embedded began to release a cold aura. The Black Earl didn't say anything, but he was already showing his dissatisfaction towards his last descendant.
Wa Yi seemed to have sensed the Dark Earl's strange emotions from the silence of the Spirit Bond.
In this oppressive atmosphere, Wa Yi suddenly regained his senses. "I, I, I understand. I'll open another exit. "
As an Earth Manipulator apprentice, Wa Yi could easily find an exit. Yet he chose to go to the cellar entrance. This kind of foolish behavior would only cause the Black Earl's emotions to rise.
The Dark Earl's emotions slowly returned to normal after Wa Yi left the underground.
However, the air was still silent.
No one spoke. And no one spoke through the Spirit Bond.
After a while, someone finally broke the silence. "Did you find anything, misters? I think I heard something about a table? "
It was Kael, who was walking in and out of the room upstairs.
"I don't know if it's a clue or not. Let's wait for Wai to come back. What about you? Did you find anything?"
Upon hearing this question, Kael seemed rather excited and began to explain his findings.
However, all Kael talked about was the culture of the ruins and the architectural style. He even mixed in some of his personal opinions.
And all of these had nothing to do with Transcendents.
Two minutes later, he stopped Kael. "Did you notice anything out of the ordinary?"
Kael answered honestly, "No."
"Keep exploring then. Contact us if you run into any trouble."
At this moment, Kael seemed to realize that what he said was useless, so he blushed and said, "Okay, I understand."
With that, Kael didn't say anything else.
Although Kael's words were mostly nonsense, the atmosphere wasn't as awkward as before because of Kael's interruption.
"That's just how Kale is. He gets excited the moment we arrive at the ruins, and he's much more talkative than usual." Dorcas said, "When he first came to the black market and discovered that the black market was also a huge ruin, his excitement then was comparable to what he is now. But he's only interested in the culture of the ruins. He's not interested in the so-called treasures inside. "
After explaining for Kael, Dorcas slowly led them back to the main topic.
So far, they only found two traces of Transcendents. One was a rune card at the top, which no one wanted, and the other was the hole in front of them.
Before they could find any traces of other Transcendents, they could only wait and see if Wa Yi would bring any good news.
However, they didn't wait for Wa Yi to come back. Instead, they split up and began to search for Transcendents.
Both Angor and Black Earl went upstairs while Dorcas remained on the podium, studying the hole.
A moment later, Angor and Black Earl checked the second and third floors and confirmed that neither of them found any trace of Transcendents.
Since there was nothing they could do, Angor had to look at Dorcas again.
"Why are you still standing in front of the hole? Did you find something? "Angor asked.
Dorcas shook his head. "I'm thinking about something. I'm waiting for Wa Yi to come back."
"… So you're saying you're not going to look for Transcendents at all?"
Dorcas spoke in a lazy tone, "Didn't you all go upstairs already? You don't need me to help. Besides, I'm thinking about something. Maybe I'll get some inspiration if I think more. "
If it were someone else, Angor would at least use an illusion spell to "show some love" to them.
However, Angor accepted Dorcas' words calmly.
He couldn't help it. Dorcas always had strong spiritual senses. Even Dorcas himself said that he might get some inspiration by thinking more. What else could he say?
"So, have you figured it out?" Angor asked.
Dorcas shrugged and spread out his hands. "If I had thought it through, why would I still be sitting here?"
In the end, he sighed and created an illusion sofa so that he could rest on it.
Since he couldn't find anything else in a short time, he might as well wait for Wa Yi to come back.
When Dorcas saw Angor sitting on the illusionary sofa, he quickly moved closer. "Give me one, please."
Angor waved his hand, and a similar sofa landed beside Dorcas.
Dorcas immediately laid down and even stretched lazily. "So comfortable."
"You said you were thinking about something. What's the direction of your thoughts? Do you want me to help you?" Angor decided to use Dorcas' inspiration, so he asked as soon as he sat down.
"Thinking about something is to quickly gather information and data in your mind. You need to find any possible bright spots in them …"
"Speak human language."
Dorcas curled up and said, "I don't remember."
"Most of it. There are no bright spots. However, I did think about another problem later on. "
"What is it?"
Dorcas said, "Even if the lecture table has a single pillar, its surface should still be very big. It's really surprising that the Hero Squad pulled it out and used it as a weapon."
As a Bloodline Wizard who fought with swords, Dorcas was quite particular about his weapons. He couldn't imagine how they could use the desk to fight.
It was no wonder Mia had said that the members of the Hero Team were rather exaggerated in their dressing. Just think about it. Who would be exaggerated if they weren't holding a lecture table in battle?
Angor was about to reply to Dorcas' comment when a cold snort came from beside them. "What's so strange about that? As long as it's useful, some people can even use an hourglass as a weapon, let alone a desk. "
It was Dark Earl who flew down from upstairs and landed on the armrest of Angor's illusionary sofa.
Angor sensed Dark Earl's salty aura, which told him that Dark Earl probably didn't find any supernatural traces in the upper floors.
"Using an hourglass as a weapon? That's interesting. Is it some kind of special alchemy item? "Dorcas asked curiously.
Dark Earl remained silent as if he was trying to recall something. Several seconds later, he said, "It's not an alchemy item. It's just an hourglass. But it's made of special materials. The upper and lower base are made from the shoulder armor of a Crow Giant. The outer shell of the hourglass is made from Deep Sea Gobe Metal, and the sand inside is Winter Sand."
What the Black Earl mentioned were basically transcendent materials. Among them, the Uya Giants were a branch of the Oceanic Giants. Shoulder armor was their outer shell. It could grow and be replaced, just like human fingernails. Therefore, it was not particularly rare. In fact, most of the materials on the market were sold by the Uya Giants themselves.
Frigid Winter Sand was a low-grade material just like Pauldrons. It was sometimes used to craft cold items. However, it was heavier and harder to refine. Most apprentice alchemists wouldn't choose to use it, and the market price wasn't high either.
Deep Sea Gobe Metal, on the other hand, was very rare. It was only a mid-tier material, but it could only be found in the depths of Song of the Deep. It was very useful to Sea Magi, and Song of the Deep was full of Sea Magi. They consumed a lot of their own resources, so they were rarely sold.
"Using Deep Sea Gobe Metal to make an ordinary hourglass? Who's so extravagant? "Dorcas didn't know much about alchemy, but he still recognized the material.
Dark Earl suddenly spoke, "Do you really want to know who he is?"
Dorcas stared blankly for a moment, and a sense of danger suddenly lingered around him. It was the first time he felt such an obvious spiritual sense after coming to the ruins.
Dorcas' face paled, and he quickly said, "I don't want to know. I'm just asking. Sir, you don't have to answer."
Perhaps afraid that Dark Earl didn't sense his resistance, Dorcas added, "You really don't have to answer. I don't want to know who you're talking about."
"What a coward." Dark Earl snorted, but he thought to himself, 'This guy is indeed alert. It seems that his spiritual sense is about to be upgraded to a real talent.'
"I'm not a coward. I'm just following my heart."
Dark Earl ignored Dorcas's blabbering. "If you don't want to know, fine. I don't want to talk about that person either. He's an old friend."
An old friend.
Angor and Dorcas knew that the person who used the hourglass to fight was not a wizard on the same level as the Dark Earl, but at least someone they, who had just become a formal wizard, could not hope to fight against.
Dorcas said, "So he's a big shot. That makes sense. Let alone an hourglass, he can even use a quill as a sword. "
Dark Earl continued, "The person I'm talking about was only an apprentice when he used the hourglass to fight."
"Apprentice? Then, how do you fight with an hourglass? "
Dark Earl said, "The material is good, so just smash it. Ordinary attacks are just random smashes. To deal with slightly more powerful attacks, just watch as the Frigid Winter Sand falls onto the hourglass on the other end, then use that hourglass as a heavy blow to smash. "
Both Angor and Dorcas had the same thought after hearing Dark Earl's explanation.
That was … a straightforward way of fighting.
But someone who got such a "hard" weapon when he was an apprentice, and it contained Song of the Deep's shell. Could he be someone from Song of the Deep?
Angor wondered who in Song of the Deep could be friends with Dark Earl. Could it be Poseidon?
As soon as he thought of the name, Angor sensed danger looming over him.
The Crimson Night Shield on his back flickered for a moment.
Angor quickly calmed himself down and stopped thinking about it. The sense of danger slowly disappeared.
Angor now understood why Dorcas suddenly became scared. He reckoned that the Big Boss cared a lot about his embarrassing past. As long as someone thought about him, he would immediately notice it.
However, Angor was still much weaker than Dorcas when it came to spiritual perception.
He already knew who this person was, and that was why he sensed danger. If not for the Crimson Night Shield, he would have been discovered already.
Dorcas, on the other hand, didn't even think about who the person was before he sensed danger. That was the difference between them.
But Dark Earl didn't mention who the person was, but he still talked about the person's past. Angor couldn't help but feel that he did it on purpose.
Was this the real meaning of "old friend"?
Angor and Dorcas remained silent in awe.
About half an hour later, Wa Yi's voice finally came from the other side of the Spirit Bond. He had been waiting for a long time.
…
Wa Yi said, "I've found Crow. He's following us back."
Vai's return meant that it was time to find out if the clue was valid.
"Did you see Crow's weapon? What's so special about it?" Dorcas asked in a worried tone.
Vai remained silent for a few seconds. "Well … You'll know when you see it."
Hearing Wa Yi's answer, everyone immediately understood that something must have happened.
But it was hard to say whether it was going to be good or bad.
While everyone was silent, Khael, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke through the Spirit Bond. "Crow? Ma Qiusha's husband? "
"Yes. What's wrong?" Vai was confused.
Kael said, "I remember that Ma Qiusha's son is dressed like 'Lightning' from Hero Squad, right? Mia said. Why is Ma Qiusha's husband Crow? "
Everyone remained silent.
A moment later, Angor muttered, "Maybe he worships lightning more than ravens?"
