Chapter 20: Ruins Slate (Please Read!)
"half?"

Hearing this, Kana couldn't help but extract the information about this task chain that he had known in his mind.

It’s been a long time, but it was the first quest related to the Genesis Stone triggered by the player, so some memories are still very clear.

This is a unique task.

After completing all the side quests of the "Blue Spot" Murloc tribe, you will gain a certain amount of favorability and have the secondary profession of archaeologist.

You can get half a stone tablet from the leader of the tribe, the Murloc Prophet.

When you obtain the tablet, the Murloc Prophet will tell you some stories.

Archaeologists can extract clues from stories.

The clues point to the area where the [Blood Crying Town] is located.

At that time, the difficulty of this mission lay in obtaining the stone slab and reaching the [Blood Crying Town] to find the ruins.

In the first few months after the server was launched, the recommended difficulty level for [Blood Cry Town] was level 4~5.

The server had just been launched for a month when this quest was triggered.

But no matter what, the mission was accomplished.

The team of players who accepted this mission found the entrance to the ruins below the river bank.

Through certain operations, a stone door was opened.

Obtained the equipment items inside.

Among them is a [Small Fragment of the Stone of Creation]

In the previous game, Kana also knew the captain of the team that triggered the mission, the archaeologist.

Both of them can be regarded as players who like to dig deep into the plot, background stories, and various settings.

We talked about this mission at that time.

According to him, he guessed that there was still half of the ruins, but he just didn't know how to get through because he lacked key props.

When they first got half of the slate, they thought the task was to find the other half, because this was more logical, after all, they only got half.

As a result, the stone slab was not found, but the ruins were found instead, and half a stone slab was enough to open the ruins.

Now that the task has been completed, there is nothing we can do.

The other half of the stone slab and the other half of the remains that cannot be opened do exist.

That's all he knows.

In other words, the other half of the stone slab required to open the other half of the ruins that could not be opened at that time can now be obtained.

"What do you need me to do for you?" The fishman elder said this, so he must want me to help him.

“Over there, in the woods, there are big rats with pointy ears.

They have been harassing us and stealing our eggs, and they stole the other half a while ago."

The fishman elder pointed in a direction and said.

The fishmen nearby also started chattering, seeming very angry.

“If you can get rid of them, or teach them a lesson.

This slate is yours, and you may be able to get the other half from them."

After saying that, the fishman prophet directly handed the slate to Kana.

Huh? Are you going to give me the reward first?

Holding the slate in his arms, Kana was confused for a moment.

Looking at the fish-man prophet, those crooked eyes that didn't look very bright seemed to be saying: Go quickly, what are you standing there for?
"Ahem, can you tell me where you got this slate?"

Hearing this, the fishman prophet pointed the coral staff in his hand at the distant river bank.

“Under the water over there, there’s a cave.

Do you want me to take you there, my human friend?

Cana shook his head. "Not for now, thank you."

He picked up the slate and handed it directly to Aliris behind him, asking her to help hold it.

Kana looked at the fish-man prophet in front of him seriously and asked, "Prophet, you should be able to see, right? The darkness is spreading. You should take your tribe and leave here."

The prophet looked at Kana with his large, crooked eyes. "My human friend, I have seen it. We are already preparing to leave. You should leave here quickly as well."

"Then why did you ask me to clean up those rats?"

"Because they're nasty and you need the other half."

Kana nodded slightly and thought deeply.

"Then we'll take our leave now. We'll come back later."

With that, Kana turned around and left with a few people.

As soon as I left.

Aliris couldn't wait to ask, "Why can the fishman speak?"

Blake and the others also listened with their ears tilted.

"Because he's a murloc prophet, you can think of him as a mage. You can't be a mage if you're not smart." "Mage?" Alice was a little confused. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Is he one of those magic tricks in the stories?"

Hearing this, Kana paused and turned to look at the few people.

Not only Aliris, but even Blake had some confusion in his eyes.

Obviously they have no specific concept of mages.

Kana slapped his head. He had almost forgotten that this country was both free and xenophobic.

The flow of magic power in this area of the country is quite scarce. Not to mention magicians, there are not many things related to monsters.

Coupled with the royal family's policy of exclusion of powerful forces, no wizard is willing to come to this damn place.

As for the Murloc Prophet, no matter how smart he is, he doesn't have much concept of the flow of mana.

He only knew that the merfolk were safe in this area and that there were few dangerous creatures in the water, and that was enough.

The magic-barren areas of this world can almost all be attributed to strange reasons.

For example, in this country, there is no doubt that the blame can be put on the royal family.

They concentrated their magic power in the royal capital.

"Just think of him as a half-blood. Don't you see that his appearance is different from other murlocs?

He is a hybrid of a murloc and a frog."

"Magic frog?"

"A kind of monster, no need to understand in detail."

What Kana was more concerned about was that this fishman seemed to be just like what was set in the background, and he really had some kind of premonition of the future.

Forget it, this game has a lot of prophecies, and there are quite a few charlatan characters who can predict the future.

What we should be more concerned about now is the mouse with pointy ears.

He turned and asked, "Blake, has anyone in town ever encountered a mouse with pointy ears?"

Blake shook his head: "I haven't been back for a while, so I don't know the details."

Regarding the pointy-eared mice, Kana seriously suspected that they were a species in the game.

Pointed-eared ratmen, a typical evil race.

Generally speaking, they will appear around the gathering places of various intelligent life forms, robbing, stealing and killing.

Since the fishman prophet said it was some time ago.

Then it shouldn't be more than one or two months, because if it exceeds one or two months, the fishman won't remember it clearly.

After more than one or two months, the fishman will not be able to remember the specific concept of time, and he may think that it happened a long time ago.

Thinking about it this way, it suddenly became clear why there was no record of the other half of the stone slab.

Because at that time there was only half of the stone tablet left in the hands of the Murloc Prophet, he could only recall the things about this half of the stone tablet.

If I had come half a month later, I might not have known about the other half of the stone slab.

"Then let's go back to town and find out what's going on."

We returned to the place where we landed, took a fisherman's boat back to the other side, and returned to the town.

By the time we arrived in the town, the sun had already set.

After thinking about it, I decided to go to the mayor and others tomorrow morning to ask about the situation.

Returned to their residence.

"Your Highness, are you going to explore the ruins?"

When the two of them were talking today, Alice, Blake and the other two were listening from behind.

It was the first time they heard the fishman speak, and they listened very carefully.

"Blake will definitely tell the Earl what happened today. Will there be any problems?"

Aliris was a little worried.

She didn't know whether the Count was a good man or a bad man.

Cana smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry about it. The Earl is in no mood to care about us right now. As long as we don't cause trouble and don't tip off, he'll ignore everything we do."

And by then, there would be no problem even if I took Blake and the others into the ruins.

Because they cannot see the specialness of the Stone of Creation, in their eyes it may just be a gem.

The Stone of Creation has a series of inherent abilities such as anti-divination, anti-prophecy, and anti-reconnaissance.

In the human body, you won’t be able to discover it unless you reach a certain level and have a certain level of strength.

If it is exposed, it will be even harder to detect.

Except for one type of person, that is, those who have already used the Genesis Stone.

Apart from the Stone of Creation, there are actually not many valuable items left in the ruins.

Even if Black reported it, the Earl wouldn't care.
