Chapter 244 029: Clues to the Relics
Turning back, Luo Xi asked Jerome, "By the way, what were you just going to tell me?"
The three of them looked at each other, and finally looked at the densely packed undead below that was like the ocean, and finally seemed to have made some kind of decision.
Jerome turned around and said, "It's like this, Master Wizard, we want to invite you to go treasure hunting with us."
Luo Xi asked doubtfully, "Treasure hunting?"
Angel took over the conversation: "You know, the three of us are not permanent residents of this undead ruins. We are not lying to you. The reason we are here is because of a clue in the ruins."
As she spoke, she took out a map from her space ring and placed it in front of Luo Xi, saying, "This is a map we accidentally obtained not long ago. It records a relic in this ruin. The three of us came to this ruins of the undead for this reason."
Luo Xi took a look at the map. It was a treasure map. On it was a map of the ruins. Some coordinates and a specific route map were marked on it. However, only half of the content was picked up from the middle. Obviously, the remaining half had not been taken out yet.
Luo Xi nodded: "I see, so you originally planned to explore on your own, and this is what you wanted to say but didn't say that day, right?"
Jerome nodded, and then said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, we..."
Luo Xi interrupted: "I can understand."
The value of a clue to a relic is self-evident. Even if Luo Xi was in their shoes, he would not be so generous as to share it with a stranger. Now that Jerome and the others are willing to take out this relic, they must have considered it for a long time.
It was just as Luo Xi guessed. Originally, Jerome and his men had not intended to reveal any of the ruins. However, as they went deeper into the undead ruins over the past few days, more of the dangers and horrors here were exposed to them.
Is it really possible for us to excavate this ruins with our strength? This thought has been lingering in the minds of the three people more than once in the past two days. After witnessing the horror of the ruins with their own eyes, they are becoming less and less confident.
Because of this, after careful consideration, they finally decided to share the clue of the ruins with Luo Xi.
They have seen Luo Xi take action more than once in these days and know how powerful he is. If they invite him to explore the ruins together, the success rate of the exploration can be greatly improved. In addition, they were all saved by Luo Xi that day, and that little bit of undead crystal is not enough to repay this favor. Sharing the ruins with him can just be a way to repay this favor.
Luo Xi then asked: "Let's just talk about this relic."
Jerome nodded and said, "This relic belongs to a witch named Natalia. According to the clues we know, she is said to be a priestess of the Sigrama Dynasty, responsible for the sacrificial ceremony at that time. Have you heard of her, High Priest Xia?"
Luo Xi nodded: "I know."
Although the Sigrama Dynasty was a wizard dynasty, its social system still largely maintained the shadow of the Age of Gods. The entire dynasty also believed in gods and held many sacrificial activities on a regular basis.
And Shia was the high priest of the Sigrama dynasty at that time and an important figure in the entire dynasty.
Jerome continued, "According to the clues we have collected, this Queen Natalia is a subordinate of High Priestess Shia, and if nothing unexpected happens, this relic we found should be the place where this priestess practiced."
Luo Xi's eyes lit up.
The Sigrama Dynasty had a hierarchy, and to be able to become a subordinate official of the high priest, even if it was just the lowest-ranking subordinate priest, one needed strength at least above the wizard level. In other words, this relic must be a relic.
If this priestess is ranked higher, she may be a mid-level wizard or even a high-level wizard, or even a sage! The value that can be excavated from a relic of this level, especially from the Sigrama Dynasty, is definitely not to be underestimated.
Luo Xi glanced at the three of them and said jokingly, "You guys are really brave."
All three of them are only apprentices, the weakest kind of apprentices at that. They can hardly deal with the undead in the ruins alone, yet they dare to set their sights on a relic who is at least at the wizard level. I don't know whether to say they are courageous or stupid.
Jerome smiled bitterly and said, "We also overestimated our abilities, but now we have realized it, so we want to invite you."
Luo Xi nodded: "I understand."
After thinking for a moment, he said thoughtfully: "It's not impossible to invite me to explore the ruins together, but how to divide the spoils must be agreed in advance. I don't want to argue about it later."
He is still very interested in exploring ruins.
The three of them nodded quickly: "Of course."
Luo Xi continued, "How about this. If we find anything while exploring the ruins, I will take away everything related to knowledge. I will select the rest, whether they are materials or magic items, and I will distribute them to you three after I have sorted out the rest. How do you think?"
This distribution condition can indeed be said to be very overbearing. The map of the ruins was brought by them, but Luo Xi wanted to take away all the most valuable knowledge after the exploration. Not only that, but even the subsequent materials and magic items had to be screened first. In other words, if he was a little more ruthless, he could take it all away.
But there was no other way. With Jerome and the other three, there was no possibility for them to explore the ruins. It was another matter whether they could reach the ruins with their limited strength. Even if they got there, there would be no possibility of survival if they rashly entered the ruins.
Wizard-level ruins, even a random spell inside can easily turn them into ashes.
So after thinking for a while, the three of them finally agreed: "Okay."
Angel then opened the space ring again, took out the remaining half of the map and spliced it with this map.
However, the spliced map was still incomplete, as it was missing some necessary coordinates. Finally, the three of them each took out a quill pen and wrote down a string of coordinates on the map before they finally completed the splicing of the map.
"You three are quite interesting."
Luo Xi couldn't help but tease as he watched the three of them operate. It was obvious that the three of them each had a portion of the key information of the map, so if they wanted to dig it successfully, they had to be together. Even if one of them accidentally fell into the hands of others, there was no need to worry about the secret being dug out. (End of this chapter)
