Chapter 348 Midnight Crystal and Relic Teleportation
However, although the scepter was taken away by Avis in advance, judging from the calmness in Ryan's eyes, he seemed to have gained some new adventures before that.
This is a very interesting feature of the Children of Destiny. If the adventure they were supposed to get is lost due to some accidents, the Web of Destiny will rearrange new adventures for them after adjustments.
Then, over a long period of time, try to correct their destiny lines back to their original trajectory.
This correction takes different forms, and sometimes it is proactively arranged by some high-level prophets.
During this process, the power originally expended by the Web of Fate to correct the fate line will be converted into proportional fate feedback to the prophet.
"Anvis, look here, the inner core of these stone pillars seems to be a little different from the surface."
At this moment, Claire suddenly let out a low cry and pointed to a stone pillar on the side.
There was a huge tearing claw mark at the base of the stone pillar, with the tip deeply embedded in the center of the stone pillar.
Under the illumination of candlelight, the black rock at the bottom of the claw mark groove shone with a crystal-like light, and there was a clear dividing line between it and the surrounding rock on the outer layer of the stone pillar.
Avis casually threw a magic light ball over, but after the white light ball attached to it, it dimmed at an extremely fast speed.
In contrast, some tiny white dots suddenly appeared in the dark color of the crystal, emitting a faint glow and magical aura.
"That is midnight crystal, a special high-level dark attribute material. It has no magical aura on the surface, but can absorb up to the seventh level of magic. It will only be produced in an environment that is dark enough and has natural crystal veins.
It can be used as a spellcasting material to assist in casting some special dark magic, or as a magic item that absorbs and weakens attacks from light elements.
Since it has a relatively unpopular use, although it is rare, its value is very average among high-level materials, and the market price is about 5,000 gold coins per unit. "
After a simple test, Avis immediately roughly confirmed the true appearance of the crystal.
"However, it is still relatively rare to find a complete midnight crystal column of such a large volume like this one. If this one were full of them, the market price would probably be close to one million gold coins.
Of course, it might be possible for us…”
Avis tapped the stone pillar gently with his staff and made an assessment of the crystal in the pillar based on his knowledge.
However, when he saw the light in the girl's blue eyes, he instinctively swallowed the word "not much use" back.
Forgot, Claire is not him.
"...nearly a million gold coins?"
Hearing this number that sounded like gold, Claire's eyes suddenly lit up.
Although she is not short of money on a normal basis, it is very expensive to replenish various high-level adventure equipment, alchemical vehicles, portable houses, etc.
What's more, sometimes she needs to buy some ancient relics she likes at auctions, which is a huge expense.
In order to raise the funds, she not only sold most of the treasures she had obtained in previous expeditions, but also carried ordinary low-level monster jerky and wild mushrooms as food to save money.
"Then, are there more of these stone pillars around?"
After calming down a little, the half-elf girl did not dig it out immediately, but immediately looked at the hundreds of other stone pillars in the hall.
Could this be a midnight crystal mine?
"It's possible, but Senior Claire, it's not easy to get them out."
Avis shook his head and threw one away.
“This black rock is very hard and has a certain repulsion to magic. If you want to use magic to dig out the crystal in this stone pillar completely, even if it is a true fourth-level professional, it will consume a huge amount of energy.
Besides, the probability of crystals existing in these stone pillars is actually not high."
As he spoke, Avis pointed to two other stone pillars that were also torn apart by huge claw marks, but no black crystals were exposed.
"So, we just need to dig out the crystal in this pillar. In this kind of ruins where the future is unknown, even if we have the ninth-level protection temporarily, it is best to save enough mana to prevent accidents."
"Well, Anvis, you have a point."
Nodding with some regret, Claire herself understood that the current situation was not actually suitable for large-scale mining.
Claire pressed her left hand on the rock, and her magic power emanated, gradually softening the rock and pushing it aside. Avis was doing the same thing.
After a while and consuming a large amount of magic power, the two of them worked together to dig out a complete huge black crystal column.
The entire crystal column core is nearly half a meter thick and crystal clear, but the height is much shorter than previously speculated, with a section only three or four meters long.
Claire suggested that they each take half, but Avis argued that it would be a waste to divide the entire piece of material, so he paid 410,000 gold coins and bought the half that belonged to the girl.
At the same time, Avis's eyes swept across the two teams in the distance who were also digging something.
Judging from their actions, they should have also discovered the crystal in the stone pillar.
One of the teams was the team that Roche, Alyssa and others were in.
However, their speed was much slower than that of Avis and the other two.
After all, students who choose to enter here are usually of low birth or are not favored in their families, so they choose to take the risk of exploring the corridor.
And those children of destiny have more or less concealed their strength, resulting in their overall strength still being relatively low.
The child of destiny, Ryan, who was of special concern to Avis, and the player girl [Firefly on Summer Night], all rushed to the surface of the altar with the others, curiously studying the big clock.
When Anvis looked over, Xia Ye Yinghuo was talking to Ryan who was standing next to her.
At this moment, the panel of Summer Night Firefly suddenly popped up without warning, attracting Avis' attention.
At the top of the panel, a new task reminder appeared.
[You have triggered the special plot mission 'The End of Bomiya']
"Anvis, what are you looking at?"
Claire's slightly doubtful voice came from the side. For some reason, the voice seemed a little unreal and distorted.
"I'm looking at..."
Avis opened his mouth and wanted to turn his head, but he felt as if the air had solidified and he couldn't move at all.
At the same time, the huge stone bell on the altar, which originally looked like an ordinary handicraft, suddenly emitted a faint white light.
This light was like a source of infection. Under its reflection, the interior of the entire huge cave hall also began to emit white light.
And this kind of light also began to spread rapidly to other parts of the ruins.
"Wait! Look!"
Outside the city, a yawning wizard accidentally noticed this scene. He kept his mouth open and pointed his finger in the direction of the ruins, signaling to his colleagues nearby.
At this time, it was almost dusk, and under the warm golden setting sun, this ancient relic, lying at an angle in a huge crater, suddenly began to glow on its own.
The Sky Clock Tower, the Magic Library, the Platinum Tower, the Magic Research Institute...all the buildings in the ruins are now shrouded in a hazy white light!
The next moment, the brightness of this white light suddenly increased countless times, and in a burst of violent flashes, the entire ruins disappeared in an instant! "What's going on?!"
Seeing this shocking scene, the ninth-level mages and many academy mages who stayed outside the ruins were immediately shocked. Especially the many middle and low-level academy mages, their faces turned pale with shock.
This year's Pamir College Competition was held in the ruins, and most of the Pamir students were currently in the ruins! They even included descendants of the royal family, the four major families of the empire, and the marquises! If something went wrong with this competition, causing thousands of students to lose contact, the royal family would probably be the first to not let them go.
"Relocate the ruins immediately!"
Many mages began to frantically locate the ruins, but the location they finally determined made everyone feel a little cold in their hearts.
The location of the ruins... is in the Endless Sea! I wrote a little too much, so I posted it late...
