After explaining the general precautions in the Xen'drik adventure zone, Bain made another good suggestion.
After thinking for a moment, Carl nodded, thinking that it should be so.
Even people who are good at Souls-like games are bound to make mistakes when playing other action games, as the change in level style has a great impact on the operation.
By the same token, Carl and his team must at least familiarize themselves with the style of the giant ruins first, so that they can explore the giant ruins corresponding to the Platinum Key with ease in the future.
"Then let's do it tomorrow. Today I'll help you repair your weapons, equipment and vehicles. We'll set off at noon tomorrow! V! Take Bane and Scorpion to their rooms.
By the way, you two live in the same room, right?"
Nodding calmly, Bane and Scorpion moved into one of the bedrooms under V's guidance.
The two were quite satisfied with the size and facilities of the bedroom.
"I never thought I'd see them again. What a small world it is!"
After hugging Carl, Hope suddenly felt emotional, for some unknown reason.
Ying beside him nodded.
"Let's prepare a more sumptuous meal later. I'm going to go downstairs and help them modify their equipment."
With no intention of sharing the sadness with the two, Carl left with Bane and Scorpion's equipment.
Coincidentally, the main weapon Bane is currently using is actually a pair of revolvers produced by the Iris Weapon Workshop.
This gave Carl a clearer understanding of the influence of his own industry in the field of ranger equipment.
He originally thought that the outside world would be more keen on imitating this style of musket, but he didn't expect that even in Xen'drik there would be people buying the original version.
Carl is very familiar with the modification of revolvers.
Lisanna's entire set of weapons and equipment are maintained by her brother, so it is not a problem to help Bane modify them to make them more practical.
However, when Carl picked up Scorpion's pair of scimitars, he instinctively discovered something was wrong.
"Wait! Could this be..."
Bringing the handles of the two scimitars close together, Carl gathered a little magic power with his fingers and then tapped the intersection.
The wooden handle suddenly came to life, and the two handles intertwined and fused together, turning into a "Blade of Heroic Soul".
This thing is similar to the weapon of the Flame Dragon Warrior in "Armor Hero" and the Demon Hunter in "Warcraft".
In Eberron, this thing is a fine inherited weapon made by the elves through many processes.
Even among the elves, there is a saying about this thing: "One sword is passed down for three generations, the sword remains even though the person is gone."
Even if an elf encounters someone holding such a weapon while adventuring outside, they will take the initiative to challenge the other party in order to inherit these heroic blades left in the hands of foreigners.
The sword that Scorpion holds is obviously a style that has undergone some special modifications.
"This is already considered a cultural relic. Let me see the craftsmanship of the elves!"
When dealing with equipment produced by this alien civilization, Carl directly used professional equipment.
Putting on the glasses with identification function, Carl looked at the thing carefully from beginning to end, and then came to a conclusion.
"This thing is a bit tasteless!"
The craftsmanship of the Blade of Heroes Soul is not so advanced that it cannot be imitated by humans, but the elves have made many artistic modifications to the weapon itself.
In order to make each one unique, these guys even specially processed the texture of the wood material.
Perhaps only an immortal elf could be so bored.
"It's better to just make a mechanical version of the scimitar for Scorpion. This thing is more suitable to be placed in a museum."
With a sigh, Carl put the Blade of Heroic Soul aside, started the lathe and started working.
Soon, a double-headed scimitar imitating the weapons of the Demon Hunter and the Flame Dragon Warrior was completed.
Carl placed his hand on the hilt of the knife and activated his psychic power.
The double-headed scimitar separated and became two ordinary-looking scimitars.
After swinging it again, emerald green flames suddenly ignited on the two scimitars.
"Well, the performance is perfect!"
After the inspection, Carl ordered V to make a new off-road motorcycle, and then returned to the first floor with the weapons.
Hope and Scorpion were preparing lunch for later, and Ying seemed to have run outside to clean up the wild monsters wandering around.
Bane sat in the hall in the middle of the living area, wondering what he was thinking.
"Come and see the weapons I modified for you. Don't use Scorpion's pair of scimitars for now. They are the elves' heroic blades. If they find you, they may harass you for a long time."
Placing the three weapons on the coffee table one by one, Carl first explained to Bane his modifications to the revolver, and then demonstrated the use of her new scimitar in front of Scorpion who came over after hearing the noise.
Both of them were very satisfied with Carl's transformation, and Scorpion put the Heroic Blade into the dimensional bag.
While they were chatting and laughing, Ying came back.
Everyone then started eating and had a lively meal.
…
At noon the next day, everything was ready. The five people left the base and rode their off-road motorcycles towards the west passage.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s lunchtime, but the number of people at noon is much less than the last time Carl and his friends came.
The five of them entered the passage together and then appeared in a wilderness.
Looking at everything in front of him, Carl was a little anxious. At the current speed, when would he be able to find the location of the giant ruins? "Haha, Xen'drik is not much smaller than Khorvaire, but don't worry, the closer you go to the central area, the more repetitive scenes there will be. The outer area actually has some rules to follow. Follow me."
Holding two revolvers in his hands, Bane stepped on the accelerator and headed eastward.
The remaining four people didn't dare to go too far and chased after him.
Some beasts tried to attack Carl and others, but their movement speed could only keep pace with the off-road motorcycles for a short time.
If time goes on a little longer, they will be left behind.
This saved Carl and his team a lot of time and energy.
I have jumped to similar areas countless times.
Finally, a huge stone door frame appeared in front of everyone.
"Phew, we're finally here. I'm lucky this time."
After getting off the motorcycle, Bane pressed a button, and the motorcycle immediately deformed and shrank into a metal cube that could be lifted with one hand.
After putting the motorcycle into the dimensional bag, the five people took out their weapons and walked into the giant ruins.
Near the door, another adventure group was having a meal.
When they saw Karl and others, they didn’t even raise their heads, as if they were trying to avoid trouble.
This is actually the norm for general adventure groups. When the number of people is similar, it is difficult for ordinary people to know what means the other party has until they really start fighting. The difficulty of robbing others is much higher than most people imagine.
Since the other party ignored them, Karl and the others naturally would not take the initiative to provoke them.
Entering through the doorway, they quickly disappeared into the shadows of the ruins.
“Be careful, many of the golems in this ruin are still operating, and the center of the ruins is suspected to still be controlled by the tower spirit.
We came here three times, and on the second visit we even explored a large part of the central area, but on the third visit the mechanism there repaired itself automatically."
The existence of the Tower Spirit is an artificial intelligence created by ancient spellcasters in order to create more intelligent constructs.
Compared to ordinary golems, they have higher intelligence and comprehension abilities.
Since the Age of Giants, spellcasters have used these tower spirits to control large structures.
Controlling the Moon Spirit Armor to transform into combat form, the five people walked towards the central area under the leadership of Bane and Scorpion.
The mechanisms outside had basically been dismantled by the adventurers, leaving only some giant runes still shining with magical light.
Carl looked around and took in all the runes.
The profession of the machinist and the so-called magic patterns are closely related to the giant runes.
The reason why Eberron's wand can be charged 50 times and the production cycle of magic props can be very short is deeply related to the giant runes and magic principles.
Carl's research on Giant language and Giant Runes is the best in the entire grade (there are only three mechanics who have been promoted to the sixth grade, including Carl).
However, even he found that there were many runes that he did not recognize at all.
"I didn't expect to gain something right after entering here. It seems that it is right to explore the Giant Ruins!"
After expressing their feelings in this way, everyone continued to move forward.
However, after only a few steps, Ying and Xie suddenly blocked their way.
"Something's happening!"
Everyone was ready, and Ying and Xie even went directly into stealth mode.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the surroundings remained the same as before, with no special changes.
But the three people, including Bane, all stood still, as if they had no doubt at all about what Ying and Scorpion said.
At this moment, the sound of weapons clashing suddenly rang out in the air.
Ying and an unknown wanderer came out of stealth mode, and many fully armed adventurers rushed out from a corner in front of the passage.
"With so many people, no wonder they dared to ambush us!"
Raising two revolvers, Bane attacked his opponent with a "bang bang bang" sound.
But at this moment, with a loud "boom", Carl summoned his Megatron power armor.
“No need to leave anyone alive!”
As his body merged into the power armor, Carl said this to his companions.
The ruins of giants, the size of the passage is naturally designed according to the size of the giants.
Carl's power armor even had plenty of room to maneuver in the passage.
Before Bane and Scorpion could react, several solid nitrogen bombs were launched into the enemy's crowd.
The extremely cold air spread rapidly, so fast that the two guys with spellcasting abilities in the opposing team couldn't react at all.
Carl looked past the people behind him, opened his arms, and then clasped them together forcefully in front of him.
"Bang!"
The applause was accompanied by a violent gust of wind as it blew forward, and the enemies they were watching suffered from skin necrosis due to severe hypothermia.
A few guys with quick reactions abandoned their companions and were about to run away, but Carl turned on the nitrogen jets on the limbs of his power armor and leaped forward.
