After taking care of the skeleton knight blocking the road, Ivan began to command the soldiers to explore the ruins of the largest building complex in Sunset Town so far.
Before it was destroyed, this should have been a very large and luxurious manor.
After stepping over the collapsed wall, there is a dark open space and various broken stones. It feels like it may have been a garden, fountains and sculptures.
The huge pile of rocks, the details of which are completely indistinguishable, should be the main building of the former manor.
As for the low and barely recognizable ruins around, they should be some warehouse gatehouses and the like.
In the ruins of these low houses, the crypt spiders successfully unearthed a lot of metal currencies, and even discovered a collapsed secret room dedicated to storing currencies.
These excavated metal currencies are mainly gold, silver and black gold coins. They are piled together to form a "gold mountain" that is more than two meters high. The number is more than the total collected before!
"This is a truly wealthy family. A portion of their wealth already exceeds the total wealth of an entire town!"
Since this big dog owner is so inhumane, Alvin is increasingly looking forward to what he will find in the main building.
The ruins of the main building are very large, covering a diameter of about five to six hundred meters and a width of more than one hundred meters.
It is more likely that this place was once a large castle than a villa.
It is a pity that the system soldiers were never able to find any useful written records from the ruins, otherwise they could have further confirmed this point.
The excavation process for such a huge ruin is undoubtedly long and tedious.
As the main force of the Crypt Demon, most of the things they unearthed at first were worthless interior debris and some severely mutilated skeletons.
Perhaps because they were too badly broken, most of these skeletons failed to become undead, and even gradually disintegrated due to rain erosion over time.
Alvin tried his new skill of [Calling the Undead] to see if he could "pull" these bones up.
But unfortunately, he couldn't find even a trace of the spiritual remnants of the past on these bones, so in the end he had to let No. 1 collect the bones and dig a hole to bury them when he had time, which could be regarded as the last dignity for these poor people.
.
As for the gold and silver coins and various jewelry scattered around the skeleton...
Well, they won’t be used anyway, so as a reward of thanks, it’s very reasonable, right?
If there is any objection, Ai*Death Knight*wen said - please stand up!
As the excavation deepened, many more gold and silver vessels were added to the metal currency pile, but what Ivan really wanted never appeared.
Until...the Crypt Demon once again dug up a secret room.
This is already the fourth secret room it has dug.
Both the second and third secret rooms seemed to have stored something.
Unfortunately, as time goes by, the original things have been completely destroyed by time and penetrating rain, leaving only balls of filthy mud on the ground.
But this new secret room is different.
Even if it is not turned on, Ivan is sure that he will gain something, because he feels some mysterious protective power in it that he has never seen before.
This power should originate from the extraordinary system native to humans in the alien world of Alda, just like the previously unearthed magic equipment "Death Chant".
However, compared to the powerful and evil death equipment, the mysterious power guarding this secret room is obviously much more peaceful, and even has a hint of holiness.
To be honest, Ivan, who currently possesses the attributes of darkness and death, doesn't like this power, which makes him feel an instinctive disgust.
But that doesn't mean that he won't be curious about what's inside.
"Held, I leave it to you."
When a certain heroic master gives an order, the Skeleton Mage naturally has to obey.
Arriving at the "Dragon Broken Stone" at the entrance to this secret room, it began to study how to open the secret room without damaging the contents inside.
But unfortunately, as an undead, its magical properties have a very serious conflict with the power of the secret room itself.
No matter what the method is, as long as Held's magic power touches the opponent, there will definitely be a fierce collision explosion.
So if you want to rely on the Skeleton Mage to open the door, you can only use the Corrosive Light Ball to smash it hard.
So next, the Crypt Demon makes its grand appearance.
The huge biological excavator rubbed its sharp claws, and then began to move its claws from the side of the secret room door, and soon the secret room, which was hollowed out of black boulders and buried underground, was completely dug out.
en…Made from a single piece of stone?
To be honest, Alvin was shocked when he saw this scene.
Ni Ma, how much leisure and money did the rich man have before his death to do such a thing!
What an evil exploiting class!
With surging class hatred, a certain "quarter" death knight was filled with anger and fear, and winked suddenly at the gargoyle.
The Gargoyle Blood Mist, which had had a statue next to it for a long time, immediately waved its wings and soared into the air, facing the "Boulder Chamber" from the side and began to output madly.
Although the black boulder itself is hard and protected by an unknown supernatural power, it is really not enough in front of Gargoyle, the number one output boss under Ivan.
Each energy blade will cut off a large piece of rock, and the protective power is as fragile as glass in front of the energy blade.
In just a minute at most, an entrance was cut into the seemingly thick boulder chamber.
Ai Wen got closer and looked in through the hole, which was about one meter wide, and immediately saw...
A body frozen in ice?
"What's going on? I'm wasting all my energy just to use it as a tomb?"
However, no matter how unbelievable someone may be, this seems to be a special tomb.
The owner of the tomb is an alien human woman frozen in a transparent rectangular ice coffin.
Judging from her appearance, she seems to be very young. Compared to the humans in the main world, she is probably around eighteen or nineteen years old.
Of course, this can only be said to be an estimate, because the appearance of the "girl" is not exactly the same as that of humans in the main world, and many details are different.
For example, the skin of this "girl" from another world has a light purple color, her ears are much longer than those of humans in the main world, and her facial features are more three-dimensional and profound, and she even looks a bit like a 3D character in the game.
Of course, the level of beauty is almost like a game. She is almost as beautiful as a dummy. She wears a long white dress and has the posture of a glamorous ghost.
Originally, when faced with this scene of a female corpse in an ice coffin, someone was worried that he would encounter some famous scene.
For example, a female corpse that seemed to have cooled down suddenly opened its eyes to pretend to be a corpse, and then rushed towards me without saying a word, insisting on sucking some yang energy...
But unfortunately, the person in front of me is really just a corpse that has completely lost its vitality.
There is no possibility of becoming undead.
The reason for this lies in the golden badge above the ice coffin of the female corpse.
The badge, which is suspected to be made of gold, is engraved with an image that seems to represent the sun in a very abstract way, and a white crystal is embedded in the center.
In a closed environment, the crystal always emits a faint soft white light, and this white light that is biased toward positive energy should have properties similar to "transcendence" and completely purify the remaining spirituality in the female corpse.
As a result, even a necromancer who specializes in uncovering coffins cannot directly transform the corpse into an undead.
At the same time, this crystal seems to be used as an energy source to activate a strange device below that seems to maintain low temperature, allowing the ice coffin to remain inactive for a long time.
There is no doubt that this is another native magic item from the Alda plane.
And compared to "Death Chant" which can only be used as a magic stone, this kind of magic prop with many functions is undoubtedly more precious to Alvin.
Unfortunately, when he took the badge from the gargoyle who was the vanguard of death daredevils and looked at it carefully, he felt a little disappointed.
"What a pity. It's a semi-waste product with almost exhausted energy."
Think about it, this is actually quite normal.
Perhaps at the very beginning, the white crystal inlaid in this badge contained very huge energy, even as deep as the ocean.
But as time goes by and countless years of changes occur, no matter how little energy the "refrigeration equipment" consumes and how slowly the energy escapes, there will be a day when it cannot hold on.
Therefore, the badge was captured by the gargoyle with almost no resistance, not because the creator of the tomb did not arrange protection, but because there was "no power" and all means could no longer be used...
