"This is …"
The corners of Hayashi River's eyes twitched. If it were anyone else, perhaps they would only feel a trace of a peculiar fluctuation.
But in his eyes, it was a completely different situation.
In front of him, a magnificent image appeared. It was like a blooming redbud flower, with countless intricate patterns interweaving to form the outline of a giant lock.
"An opening mechanism formed from materialized mental energy?!" Hayashi River was somewhat speechless.
Moments later, a giant three-meter lock appeared, hovering in front of Hayashi River. The powerful mental energy it emitted made his scalp tingle.
This was truly astonishing!
With his current attainments in mental energy, he could also construct objects with materialized mental energy, almost at Winlington's level.
But this giant lock was different. It was on a completely different level.
Just looking at the intricate patterns on the lock made Hayashi River scratch his head. He couldn't construct it at all.
Not to mention that this giant lock was incomparably complex. Even a skilled craftsman would find it difficult to construct.
Moreover, the difficulty of constructing it with materialized mental energy was shocking.
"There's actually such a mental energy expert in the Redbud Corps …" Hayashi River took a deep breath.
Mossy Bone laughed, rather pleased with himself. "It's true that constructing this giant lock is extremely difficult, but the truly difficult part is how to hide it. You have to know that the treasury of the Redbud Corps was once coveted by countless experts. Countless waves of experts have come to this island, but not a single one has detected anything out of the ordinary. "
"It's truly a masterpiece!?"
Hayashi River nodded in admiration. Only now did he truly feel how terrifying the Redbud Corps had been in that era.
This kind of mental energy expert had been difficult to find in the last several thousand years.
During the Hundred Year War, the Western Continent's Queen Of The Blood had certainly been unique in terms of mental energy, but she had been far from this level.
After observing for a while, Hayashi River frowned slightly. "You've set up this giant lock so secretively, and the opening conditions are so harsh. Aren't you worried that the descendants of the Redbud Corps won't be able to open it?"
Mossy Bone's pleased voice came to a halt, and he couldn't speak.
Hayashi River was right. After that generation of experts from the Redbud Corps had passed away, he had become a test subject for the Mechanical Throne. No one had ever opened this treasury again.
The Redbud descendants all knew that the Redbud Legion's treasury was on Dragon Lake Island, but they didn't know where the entrance was.
"Back then, who would've thought that all-out war would erupt so quickly, and that the Redbud Army would suddenly wither away …" Mossy Bone sighed.
Hayashi River didn't say anything. Following Mossy Bone's instructions, he condensed his spiritual energy into tentacles, extended them into the giant lock, and fiddled with them in sequence.
Following which, the giant lock opened and a door appeared, enveloping Hayashi River within. He disappeared from his original location.
The next moment, Hayashi River felt like he was falling, sinking towards the ground.
He was very cautious. He condensed three layers of defense and held his weapon in his hand.
After falling for a long time, about twenty minutes, Hayashi River finally stopped falling and stepped on solid ground.
Bang bang bang …
Rays of light lit up. Hayashi River looked around and discovered that he was actually at the end of a metal tunnel.
The cold metal walls emitted light, illuminating the surroundings. In front of him, at the other end of the tunnel, there was a dazzling radiance flickering.
"Ancient Dark Alloy?!"
Hayashi River's eyebrows twitched violently. He was truly shocked. This metal tunnel was completely made of Ancient Dark Alloy.
This alloy was the main material used to create high-star Heart Origin Equipment tens of thousands of years ago!
The Heart Origin Equipment created in the Dark Ages were far from being as powerful as the current ones in terms of structure and other aspects.
However, in that era, there were many high-star Heart Origin Equipment that weren't inferior in power to the current ones.
This was related to the materials used, such as the main material, energy crystals, and so on. They were much better than the current ones.
Ancient Dark Alloy was the main material used to create high-star Heart Origin Equipment in that era. It was also one of the reasons why it could rival the current Heart Origin Equipment.
Nowadays, this alloy could no longer be produced because several of its raw materials had been mined out a long time ago.
In front of him, the entire tunnel was made of Ancient Dark Alloy. Hayashi River felt that this was a dazzling golden tunnel. It was priceless and rich to the point of making one's hair stand on end.
"How is it? This tunnel isn't bad, right? "
Mossy Bone's shadow appeared and casually waved his hand. Looking at Hayashi River's dumbfounded expression, he secretly laughed proudly. He was probably shocked by this extravagance.
Hayashi River's fingers moved. He really wanted to tear down a few walls. That would be enough to create a high-star Heart Origin Equipment.
After being stunned for a moment, he shook his head and walked toward the other end of the tunnel.
Bang bang bang …
Beams of light shot out from the walls and illuminated the surroundings, as if welcoming Hayashi River's arrival.
"Don't go forward."
When he was about to reach the end of the tunnel, Mossy Bone suddenly spoke, motioning for Hayashi River to open the device on the side of the wall.
Hayashi River glanced at it, circulated his spiritual energy, and pressed the wall panel on one side.
Click …
In the wall, a square device popped up. On it, commands were inputted from the other end. Then, he pressed his palm on it and scanned it hundreds of times.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle …
At the end of the tunnel ahead, a layer of transparent energy net flickered and disappeared without a trace.
Mossy Bone smiled and waved his hand. "Alright, the alarm system here has been removed. Of course, it's only for you. If it were anyone else, they would still be attacked by the defensive measures here."
Walking out from the end of the tunnel, he saw a huge metal base with a dome with bauhinia patterns on it. The surroundings were circular.
In the center of the base, there was an energy crystal pillar that connected to the top. Countless fragments of electromagnetic energy and blazing flame-like brilliance were moving inside. These energies spread in all directions.
Judging from the structure, this should be the energy source of the metal base.
Hayashi River couldn't help but hold his breath. Then, he let out a long sigh. He really wanted to curse. This was simply too extravagant.
According to his spiritual energy analysis, such an energy crystal pillar was equivalent to a dragon crystal in terms of quality.
With such a huge volume, how many high-grade Heart Origin Equipment could be made? A series of calculations flashed through Hayashi River's mind. He concluded that it could make at least ten thousand six-star Heart Origin Equipment sets.
If he could gather ten thousand level-six experts and equip them with ten thousand six-star Heart Origin Equipment sets, he could sweep through any force on the entire continent …
So what if they were level-eight experts?
To be able to resist the charge of such an invincible army head-on …
Hayashi River's forehead twitched. He took a deep breath and calmed his surging emotions. At that moment, he couldn't help but burst with ambition. If he could build such an army, he would be invincible in the world.
With such a huge energy crystal and the Ancient Dark Alloy, it was a feasible plan to make ten thousand six-star Heart Origin Equipment sets.
However, where could he find ten thousand level-six experts?
This was a problem …
Human ambition was like this. When you felt that it could be carried out, it was easy to let it flow.
Hayashi River's emotions twitched, but he quickly calmed down. He looked around and scanned the surroundings with his spiritual energy. He felt that something was wrong.
"This is …" Hayashi River frowned.
"You felt it? Your perception is really amazing … "Mossy Bone nodded.
Mossy Bone nodded. The aura that pervaded this place could easily arouse the ambitions of living beings.
Of course, this had little effect on Hayashi River, so Mossy Bone didn't remind him.
"This is another defensive measure. You can close it later …" Mossy Bone murmured.
Walking down the stairs, Hayashi River arrived at the lower level of the base. He spread out his spiritual energy. He found it quite strange. He couldn't figure out the location of this treasury.
Under Longhu Island?
"This location was chosen by the dark elves and cave dwarves. I don't know where it is …" Mossy Bone replied.
In fact, he hadn't really interfered with the construction of this Redbud Treasury.
At that time, he was the leader of the Redbud Corps and was in charge of fighting outside. The construction of this place was naturally the logistics department's responsibility.
In that era, in order to resist the land armies of the five seas armies, all the major races were considered allies. The Redbud Corps had a good relationship with the dark elves and cave dwarves, so they spent a lot of money to build this base.
The only thing Mossy Bone did was to come over and make a series of orders to open this place after the base was built.
As he strolled around the base and opened metal doors, Hayashi River's excited expression gradually cooled down.
Behind each metal door was a large pile of alloys and energy crystals. They were all Ancient Dark Alloy, high-quality energy crystals.
These precious materials were enough to arm a large army, but half of them were damaged and corroded …
"How the hell were they kept?! Where are the basic preservation measures?! "
Hayashi River couldn't help but curse. This was a reckless waste of natural resources. The value of these damaged materials could bankrupt a country.
Mossy Bone was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't do anything. The Redbud Corps had withered too suddenly, and there was no time to do these things.
Taking a deep breath, Hayashi River resisted the urge to curse. He tried hard to comfort himself that these remaining materials were worth it.
However, there was less than half of the alloy and energy crystals left …
"We have to salvage it and seal these materials as soon as possible …"
Hayashi River shouted, a little annoyed. This place couldn't be leaked to the outside, and he couldn't call people over.
Mossy Bone's face was also twisted. He was also very distressed. This was the Redbud Corps' treasury, after all. Half of it was ruined like this. This was too much of a waste.
"Right … let's go to the secret room of the base and take a look. There's something even more important there …"
Mossy Bone suddenly remembered. With a flash of light, he floated towards a small door in the base.
Hayashi River's forehead twitched a few times, and he hurriedly followed. If something even more important than these materials was corroded, then he would want to cry but no tears would come.
"Why didn't you tell us about such an important place earlier? Why did you drag it out until now? You could have said it half a year ago! At least we could have saved a batch … "
Hayashi River cursed in a low voice. He looked like a miser right now.
He believed that anyone else would feel the same heartache if they encountered such a thing.
Whoosh!
The small door slid open, and Mossy Bone and Hayashi River rushed in. Inside was a secret room with only one energy pool.
What was immersed inside wasn't a Heart Origin Equipment, but an object sealed by an energy crystal.
"What is this?!"
Hayashi River's eyelids twitched wildly. He felt a great threat, but he couldn't see clearly what was inside the energy crystal.
To be more precise, he couldn't distinguish the shape of the object with his naked eye. It was like gray sand, gathering and dispersing in front of his eyes. He couldn't see its true form at all.
Even after using his spiritual energy to scan the energy crystal again and again, Hayashi River could still distinguish that it was a heart-shaped object.
There was also a layer of energy crystal outside the object that flickered with a magnificent light. Hayashi River could confirm that this light was the legendary energy crystal used to create a Nine Star Heart Origin Equipment.
Using this kind of energy crystal to seal an object, what on earth was it …
Hayashi River turned his head, wanting to ask Mossy Bone, but he couldn't help but be startled. The latter stood there for a long time, his light constantly blurring, as if he would collapse at any moment.
Bzzt bzzt bzzt … Mossy Bone's light began to distort, as if he was about to turn into countless streams of data and collapse on the spot.
"Oh no …" The corners of Hayashi River's eyes twitched as he realized the situation wasn't good.
