A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 110 Scarab Gem

Apart from the contents of the log, there was nothing else of value to Li Wei and his team in the entire laboratory.

Therefore, Li Wei and his companions prepared to officially conclude their exploration of the wilderness.

Li Wei had originally planned to explore the other two entrances.

However, after Tony and Shana's commotion, I lost all interest.

Let's talk about it next time.

Anyway, they'll definitely come to the wilderness often in the future.

Li Wei, in particular, will definitely come here often to collect various materials in the future. Although he can also buy them from the local natives at a relatively low price, the productivity level of the wilderness is incomparable to that of the outside world, so he certainly won't be able to purchase a sufficient quantity of materials at once like he would outside.

Furthermore, gathering skills also need to be upgraded.

Otherwise, it's really frustrating to encounter high-level materials that you can't collect.

In addition, Levi and Tony have not given up on the idea of ​​placing the future floating city in the wilderness.

It's just that the timing isn't right yet.

So Li Wei first opened a portal to the Alliance headquarters.

Let Tony and the others leave first.

Then he took Shanna back to report to her grandfather.

"Thank you so much, Master Li. I know that ordinary valuables probably wouldn't catch the eye of someone as extraordinary as you. This is an ancient Egyptian treasure that our ancestors obtained more than two hundred years ago when they followed His Majesty Napoleon to invade Egypt. It is said to be thousands of years old and possesses incredible power... Of course, our family has never discovered any other use for it besides finding it beautiful and exquisite. I hope you can find its true purpose!" After thanking Li Wei repeatedly, old Walson took out an exquisite box and handed it to Li Wei, insisting that he accept it.

What did he acquire in Egypt more than two hundred years ago while following Napoleon?
It was probably stolen, wasn't it?
Livy was quite clear about the character of the European countries at that time.

But what about the treasures of ancient Egypt?

Li Wei was still somewhat interested.

After all, in the Marvel Universe, many ancient artifacts do possess incredible power.

However, many of these products have very strict usage requirements.

I could look into it if I had the time.

If you happen to come across a genuine one, you might just hit the jackpot.

"In that case, I shall accept it without hesitation! Also, I hope you two will keep the existence of the Wilderness a secret!" Li Wei took the box without paying much attention to it, simply put it in his pocket, and then gave instructions to the grandfather and grandson.

"Don't worry, I'm also a member of the Wildlands, and I don't want my friends to be disturbed by the outside world... But I also hope that your alliance won't disrupt the natural order of the Wildlands," Shanna nodded and said.

"Don't worry about that. We're just using this wilderness as a base to gather materials that are useful to us. We won't interfere with the order of the various kingdoms there," Li Wei said.

"But are you really not planning to join us?" Li Wei asked.

"Never mind, for the rest of my life I just want to stay with my grandfather. But I'll go back to the Wildlands when I have time, and I'll have to trouble you then!" Shanna said.

She knew that Li Wei and his group would definitely "control" the entire Wilderness Land in the future, and she would probably have to go through the Alliance to enter and leave the area.

This made her feel a little uneasy.

But I also know that this isn't entirely a bad thing.

After all, if the outside world were to learn about the situation in the Wilderness, it would likely be a disaster for the various races there.

Therefore, she does not oppose the Alliance's blockade of the Wildlands... provided that the Alliance does not steal from the territory.

"No problem, feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything!" Li Wei nodded in agreement; it really wasn't a big deal.

Li Wei then bid farewell to the grandfather and grandson, opened the portal, and left.

However, he did not return directly to the Alliance headquarters, but went to Kamar-Taj first.

Once the task is completed, the first thing to do is "turn in the task".

However, Gu Yi didn't seem interested in discussing the Wildlands with Li Wei in depth... clearly, this old man still just wanted to slack off. After a few words, she served tea and saw him off.

Li Wei had no choice but to return to the Alliance headquarters alone.

When he arrived, Jessica was excitedly telling Colleen, Skye, Yelena, Melina, and others about her experiences in the Wilderness.

"Victor, when can we go to the Wildlands?" Skye asked eagerly upon seeing Levi return.

That's a dinosaur! It's so cool.

“If you want to go, you can agree on a time together, and Jessica will lead the group and take you around,” Li Wei replied with a smile.

Normally speaking, the wilderness is quite dangerous.

This is especially true for Skye and Colleen, two ordinary girls.

Any random dinosaur could take their lives.

However, with Jessica and others taking care of things, it's still okay to go out and have fun occasionally.

Even a seemingly mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex would probably be unable to withstand a single blow from Jessica, this super-strong woman.

"Yay!!!" Upon hearing Li Wei's agreement, the girls cheered, which woke up Mindy, who was sleeping in Melina's arms.

He immediately started howling.

Melina hurriedly began to soothe the child. Li Wei was instantly defeated; he was completely helpless against this little one.

Back in his workspace, Li Wei wasn't really in the mood to practice his secondary profession.

After spacing out for a while, he suddenly remembered the box that old Walson had given him.

Li Wei took it out.

Upon opening it, one finds a crystal scarab lying quietly inside.

It looks quite ancient, but does it really possess magical power, as Varson said?

Li Wei was a little skeptical.

After all, the fact that Shanna was able to enter the Wildlands shows that the Valson family had some contact with magical items, yet they hadn't been able to discover the secrets behind them for over two hundred years.

Then this thing is probably just so-so.

After thinking about it, he took the scarab in his hand and tried to channel magic into it.

Nothing happened.

Upon seeing this, Li Wei immediately took it seriously.

It's abnormal that there's no reaction at all.

Ordinary items, on the contrary, are affected by magic, and will more or less undergo some changes or abnormalities.

Instead of nothing changing.

So... this crystal scarab absorbed my magic power?
Li Wei, defying all superstition, increased the output of his magic.

All of these efforts were in vain.

Unconvinced, Li Wei wanted to try casting a spell on it.

Then something magical happened.

The magic that used to be so easy to conjure up now failed to produce a single spark.

Li Wei was stunned, and then his gaze toward the Crystal Scarab instantly became incredibly intense.

Could this thing's ability be... magic suppression?
