"Carl! This way! There's a tiny crack here!"

After walking half a circle around the core area, Ying discovered something unusual.

She found a gap in the wall just to the left of the entrance.

The gap was very small, but very narrow and long, almost as tall as a halfling.

It looked as if it had been accidentally smashed by some raiding adventurer.

However, when Ying tried to use psychic power to detect it, the information fed back by psychic power was "there is no problem there."

Carl moved closer to take a closer look and discovered that the so-called "crack" was "carved" using superb techniques.

It's a two-dimensional picture, like the hair or something that art students draw on books for fun.

"Why draw such a gap here?"

Although those artists are quite abstract, their abstraction also has a certain logic.

As long as a person has basic logical thinking, he will always meet someone whose brain waves match his.

Carl may not be able to truly sync up his brain waves with those of these artists, but he can "guess".

Anyway, if you guess wrong, no one will die, and you won’t get pregnant even if you try twice more.

Taking two steps back, Carl tried to focus his gaze on the runes surrounding the rift.

This was the only mechanism he could imagine, as there was nothing else around.

However, the runes around here are all nonsense and don't seem to have any mechanism at all.

Carl recalled movies and TV series such as "Young Justice Bao", "The Kindaichi Case Files", and "Detective Conan" in his mind, and his brain was working rapidly, trying to comprehend the mystery among them.

"Permutations and combinations? Acrostic poems? Graphic unlocking?"

Directly using the mechanic's flash of inspiration, Carl's eyes swept across the stone wall, and he vaguely felt a certain throbbing in his heart.

Following the runes around the rift, he mobilized the Moon Spirit Marrow and pieced together a sentence with a similar meaning to "Mountains and rivers are so steep and deep that you may think there is no way out, but when you turn around, you'll find another village" from the many giant runes around him.

If Carl were the stone giant, he felt that he would definitely use this sentence as the key to activate the mechanism.

And just after he used the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to click on the giant runes one by one, the crack actually emitted light.

Let the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid approach carefully, but the wall suddenly opened to both sides, just like...

His eyes swept over Ying's body, and Carl took a deep breath, throwing away the complicated thoughts from his mind.

"I'm going in to take a look. You stand here and don't move!"

After warning Ying, Carl let the Moon Spirit Marrow transform into Moon Spirit Armor, and then entered the passage behind the rift alone.

This passage is most likely a trigger mechanism created by the stone giant's innate ability. It has been mentioned in the literature about the stone giant, but in a different form than here.

Following this vertical pocket-shaped entrance, Carl moved forward three to five meters and finally saw a suspicious object.

It was a fist-sized stone button surrounded by a lot of black rat droppings.

He stretched out his foot and took a step, and the narrow passage behind him suddenly disappeared.

Carl was panicked for a moment, then he thought of the mice that suddenly appeared, so he stepped on it again.

Sure enough, the passage reappeared.

"Why did this guy build such a place? Wait! The feeling of pressing this button just now..."

After thinking for a moment, Carl did not test the stone button cautiously this time, but stepped on it directly.

The mechanism made a "click" sound, and before Carl could notice anything unusual, the shadow outside couldn't help but exclaimed.

Carl took his feet off the button and quickly climbed out of the passage.

Next to this crack, on the wall opposite the entrance, a nearly six-meter-high door is slowly emerging as the surrounding stone walls become active.

"Oh my god, this gimmick...the level designers who make large-world exploration games will probably like it."

Looking at the door that was slowly opening, Carl complained a little tiredly.

If we play a background music now, the scene will be like the player finally found the hidden treasure after deciphering the puzzle.

"Go in and take a look?"

After adding some Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to the Moon Spirit Armor and turning it into the Tiga Power Armor, Carl extended an invitation to the shadow beside him.

Nodding, Ying followed Carl into the door.

To the two's surprise, the space behind the gate was not complicated, and the surrounding walls were so simple that it did not look like a place made by a stone giant.

After crossing a corridor that was at least twenty meters long, the two came to a secret room.

In the middle of the secret room stands a golden harp more than two meters high, surrounded by some scattered giant dimensional bags.

The golden harp is carved with a young cloud giant woman, who seems to be the object of the harp maker's admiration or some other important person.

When the two men walked in, some rats were running away from the side.

Ying picked up the dimensional bags and checked them, and found that there were only some mineral materials and dragon crystals left inside.

The openings of some of the dimensional bags were open, probably because the mice accidentally opened them and ate the food left inside by the giant.

"Take all these dimensional bags. Now we can increase our carrying capacity. This harp..."

After using the identification technique to identify the object in front of him, Carl was stunned for a moment, then slapped himself.

The shadow next to him thought that Carl was suffering from some kind of mind control, and immediately rushed over to drag him away.

Carl reacted and explained quickly: "I'm fine! I just... Oops! I just can't believe that we got a weapon that could potentially reach the legendary level."

As he spoke, Karl pulled Ying up.

After checking the surroundings of the strange instrument and making sure it did not have any triggering mechanisms, Carl put it into his dimensional bag.

This harp has been temporarily "sealed" by a strange spell, and requires certain rituals to revive it.

However, according to the information read by Carl's identification, it itself has intelligence, and it does not restrict people other than the bard profession from attuning.

In other words, any professional can meet its most basic synchronization requirements.

However, its requirements for charm attributes and music theory knowledge should not be too low.

Carl had wanted to find a legendary equipment for reference a long time ago, but even his master Mooreban did not have an item of this level.

"Legendary level?"

Hearing Carl's evaluation of the harp, Ying was stunned for a moment, and then actually thought that Carl was having hysterics and reached out to Carl's forehead.

"Tsk! You don't believe it, right? Never mind! I can't prove it to you. When you get back, use the identification glasses to see for yourself."

Giving up the idea of ​​explaining theoretical knowledge to Ying, a militant person, Carl decided to let Ying determine the authenticity himself after returning to the base.

Afterwards, the two left the secret room and prepared to return to the tent to sleep.

But the noise of the secret room opening had alarmed Hope, Scorpion and Bane. When Carl and the others walked out of the secret room, they found the three of them standing outside waiting.

“We got something good!”

Seeing that his companions were awake, Carl did not hide anything and directly took out the Golden Spike Harp to show everyone.

Upon hearing that this was a legendary equipment from the Giants, Bane and Scorpion were so surprised that they were speechless.

Hope was relatively calm. She even took the opportunity to guard against the possibility that Scorpion and Bane would suddenly attack and injure people and steal weapons.

Fortunately, the two did not show anything abnormal, and then everyone returned to their tents to continue resting.

But as witnesses of the incident, how could Carl and Ying fall asleep so easily? After all, it was a legendary equipment! "How much can this weapon be sold for?"

Lying on his back in Carl's arms, Ying tried to measure the value of a legendary equipment with gold coins in a very simple and unpretentious manner.

Although there are precedents for this kind of thing, generally speaking, most people would not sell equipment of this level.

Because legendary equipment can be passed down from generation to generation, as long as there is an heir with suitable talents and a good character in the family, the continuation of the family can be guaranteed.

This is especially true for the Warlock family and legendary equipment suitable for Warlocks.

Some warlock families will try their best to keep their equipment even if there has been no descendants with awakened warlock bloodline for four or five generations, even if the family is so poor that they can barely make ends meet.

Patting Ying's head, Carl said angrily:

"You are stupid! How can you sell this? Of course you keep it!"

Seeing this, Hope also asked in confusion: "But from what you said, this thing is more suitable for bards. We don't even have a companion who can be a part-time bard in our team. You can't learn to play the harp, right?"

"Of course I'm not keeping it for my own use! This is the legendary equipment of the giants! With it, I can imitate the giants' weapon manufacturing process and improve my own skills!

When I have a thorough understanding of the rune principles behind it, I may consider selling it."

Just as Carl was imagining a bright future, in the other tent, Scorpion and Bane were tossing and turning.

It’s not that they really want to take the legendary weapon for themselves, but they are afraid that Carl will become suspicious of them, so they just go all out and nip the possibility of them leaking the news in the bud.

As experienced adventurers, they knew the ins and outs of this all too well.

"otherwise……"

Looking at Bane with a somewhat cruel expression, Scorpion made his hand into a knife shape and slammed it across his throat.

Bain on the opposite side quickly grabbed her and whispered:

"Don't! How can you have such an idea? Listen to me, let's just pretend that this incident never happened. Carl is a good person! Even if we get the weapon, what will happen? Maybe one day something unexpected happens, and if the Dragon Mark Family or some other forces find out, we'll be dead.

But if we follow Carl, after this incident, our relationship with Carl will be closer! Think about it, he is a genius mechanic of the Akanix Academy, and we, even our children, can be taken care of by him.

You can tell the difference between one meal full and every meal full! "
