"The Dusk Dragon's counterattack is imminent. There is only one way to defeat it, and that is #¥%......&"
Just as Carl was listening to the storm giant's prophecy with bated breath, the most important part suddenly turned into a chaotic sound.
Karl was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red and warm visibly.
"Fuck!"
There are two types of people that Carl hates the most in his life: those who spoil the show when he is watching a suspense drama, and those who only speak half the story.
But the former would at most make him feel bored, while the latter would make him feel anxious.
"You think you are Youren from the ancient civilization! Do I have to boil the ancients into soup to revive the giants? No wonder the giants were so strong in the past, but ended up in such a mess now! The first two sentences were played so clearly! The last and most important sentence is wrong! You fucking..."
Chaotic thoughts were surging wildly in his mind, and the blood vessels on Carl's forehead were bulging due to excessive excitement.
After a long while, he pointed at the device that repeatedly played the image of the storm giant and his words and said, "Put it away."
In the end, he couldn't bear to smash it.
After all, he couldn't yet confirm whether the noise was some kind of specially processed code.
Hope obediently put away the device, and Carl took a few deep breaths before he managed to calm himself down.
Only at this time did he notice the decorations around him.
This room was probably an observatory and meditation room. Star maps and moon phases were carved on the surrounding walls, and in the middle of the room there was something like a futon.
Warrior monks often have this kind of thing in their monasteries, which is what they sit on when they meditate or "cultivate Zen".
Seeing this thing, Carl took it apart without saying a word.
The scene where Duan Yu kowtowed reminded him of a similar scene. After confirming that there was nothing in the cushion, he started knocking on the floor nearby.
Sure enough, a somewhat hollow sound came from under the floor somewhere.
The crowd, somewhat confused by Carl's behavior, were just watching at first, but when they discovered that Carl had really found the secret compartment, they all started to learn how to search it.
"It's actually Olinfa Crystal?!"
Using tools to open the floor, Carl immediately saw a crystal flashing orange light.
This crystal is very similar to the Eberron dragon crystal, but profound runes appear in it from time to time.
When Carl just returned to Akanix from the dungeon, he gave Nia a piece of Eberron Dragon Crystal to make the Orin Magic Crystal. This is a more advanced "magic book" used by the mages in the world of Eberron. As long as you hold it, you can read the spells in it and change them.
Depending on the size of the magic crystal, the amount of magic recorded in it also fluctuates slightly.
But even the minimum is at least equivalent to a three-hundred-page magic book.
"This trip is really worth it! The pages that record the giants' magic are worth a lot, not to mention the magic crystals!"
Feeling happy, Carl reached out and placed his hand on the magic crystal.
The expected vast sea of knowledge did not appear, but instead a scene of a fire giant and a water giant hugging each other appeared. Just when Carl was wondering if this opening scene was a bit too ambiguous, the fire giant's hand reached out...
"You old pervert!"
After disconnecting from the magic crystal, Carl opened his eyes, and the expression on his face became very angry again.
"Did all the giants in the past play so well? They even did not spare the water giants? But to be honest, the water giants are really pretty."
Carl stopped Hope, who also wanted to see the contents of the magic crystal, and quickly put away the magic crystal, then helped the others search the secret compartments in the room.
What made Carl speechless was that this frivolous old storm giant actually hid more than one magic crystal.
"Can Akanix take this magic crystal?"
After exiting the scene recorded in the magic crystal, Bain asked with an embarrassed look on his face.
He was also excited because he had found the giant's magic crystal, so he was a little puzzled as to why Carl looked so awkward after reading the contents.
Now, he understood.
"It's unlikely that Akanix will accept it. Why don't we go to the Fantasy Drama Video Store in Andel and ask them if they will accept it."
Talking about today's fantasy drama industry, it is truly a flourishing industry.
Benboba and Bapopen currently dominate the animation industry, but the main fans of animation are teenagers.
Nobles who loved high art still invested their money in live-action fantasy dramas.
Those students from the acting department of Vinern University who had previously clamored for a parade have now plunged into this emerging industry. Those who are not so good at acting have no choice but to expose more of their bodies in order to get on camera.
Therefore, third-level fantasy dramas are still quite popular in places like Aundair.
“The prices are different!”
At this moment, Ying, who had finally found a magic crystal, spoke.
She had just finished watching the scene and was now tightly holding the magic crystal. Although her lavender face seemed expressionless, she still had a bit of shame and anger.
Carl was furious when he thought about how he and others had spent a lot of effort to find the video viewing records of a few giants.
After stuffing almost everything in the room that looked of some value into the dimensional bag, he even wanted to take away a crystal ball for lighting.
However, the moment he touched the crystal ball, he suddenly found that his vision was connected to something else.
The huge moon seemed to be right in front of him, and Carl could even see the craters and rocks on it.
Carl immediately understood the function of the crystal ball. It turned out to be a tool for astronomical observation?
But this thing obviously needs to be used with a matching device.
With a thought in his mind, Carl slowly adjusted his viewing distance. The moon that was so close to him began to move away rapidly, and the sky, clouds and golden crystal ring gradually appeared in his field of vision.
When Carl adjusted the field of view to the farthest, he was almost standing at the place where the telescope was located, overlooking the entire Lonely Mountain.
"Tsk, where did that dragon beast go?"
Turning the view, Carl looked around, trying to find Smaug.
He finally had something that could observe the situation outside, and he couldn't let go of such a good opportunity.
However, the lonely mountain was quiet at this time. Although there was moonlight, there was nothing unusual in the entire mountain except for one place where there was fire.
'Hmm? Wait! Fire!'
Refocusing his sight on the location of the fire, Carl adjusted the magnification and zoomed in little by little.
Finally, he saw Smaug's flesh wings behind a rock.
"Great, that guy is still asleep! Next, let's try to find the exit."
He did not touch the observation device again, because Carl knew very well that if he wanted to take this thing away, it would be best to take the whole set away.
The crystal ball here is just a receiving device, and a crystal ball or glass ball of the same quality cannot be sold for more than two silver coins on the streets anywhere.
Leading everyone back to the previous fork in the road, Carl began to explain to everyone what he knew about the Giant Sequence.
“This relic looks like the residence of a storm giant. You may not know this, but the position of storm giants in the sequence of giants is somewhat unique. They are prophets among giants and have the ability to predict.
Cloud giants often play the role of nobles or lords among giants, fire giants are forging craftsmen, frost giants are fighting warriors, and stone giants are stonemasons with an artistic orientation.
They have different divisions of labor, and each ethnic group ranks its own status within the tribe according to its wealth, skills, strength and artistry.
But the storm giants are different, they... they are arranged according to revelation, which is... completely random. He may be a storm giant at the bottom of the list one second, and the revelation of the next second makes him the best among them."
This relic is obviously not a building that a low-level storm giant can own. Instead, it looks more like the residence of a cloud giant.
"Wait, is it possible that the storm giant is just a retainer sponsored by the cloud giant? Those... magic crystals actually belong to the cloud giant?"
Although people don't know much about giants, when it comes to the prophet, it is hard for people to imagine that a character like this would watch that kind of thing when he has nothing to do.
"If you put it that way... Indeed, it is rumored that storm giants like to build their homes where the power of the elemental plane and the real plane intersect, especially the energy-manifesting areas of the air and water planes. This not only helps them defend their homes, but also helps them travel to the corresponding elemental planes. This place is indeed a bit different."
Taking this into consideration, Carl's impression of the storm giant who spoke half-sentences became a little better.
He just blamed all those things on the other party.
Following the secret passage, the crowd continued to move forward. One door after another was pushed open, but most of the doors were not the passages to the outside world that they hoped for.
As everyone was constantly disappointed, they came to the gate of a secret passage that was clearly different from other locations.
"Behind this door could be the Storm Giant's room. The lightning formed by the air element is even visible on the door!"
As Hope was guessing this, her hair was already standing up due to static electricity, turning into an afro.
Carl flipped the dial, but received a glare from Hope.
"Let's open it and take a look. Maybe there is a way out here?"
After taking the key, Carl dismissed everyone and walked to the door alone to turn the key.
Fine arcs of electricity kept hitting his power armor, but apart from charging the Khyber Dragoncrystal hidden in the power armor, these arcs had no effect on Carl.
As the door lock was opened, Carl took a horse stance on the spot, gathered all his strength and pushed the door open.
However, the door seemed to be unblocked by anything. Carl just exerted force and it opened inwards.
Endless white light spread along with the smell left by lightning piercing the air. Carl only felt a flash before his eyes, as if even his consciousness became hazy.
In confusion, an old voice said in his ear:
"That is to allow the power of Siberys to come again."
