Arad's Sword

Chapter 279
The cemetery at dusk is the ancient battlefield that Midi dreamed of.

But the so-called "ancient battlefield" is not a real battlefield. In fact, no war has occurred in this sea area since ancient times.

Tens of thousands of years ago, when the tyrannosaurus king Bakar led a large number of demons on an expedition to the heavenly realm, and a great war broke out, the heavenly realm was distorted in time and space because of the continuous terrifying explosions.On the battlefield of the heavens, a large number of space cracks appeared. Countless cruisers of the heavens and demons passed through these cracks and fell into the lower realm, which is the sea of ​​clouds in the sky today.

The cemetery of these cruisers is the "Ancient Battlefield". It reproduces the tragic war of that year, but it has never ignited even a trace of war. What is left here is only the steel that has lost its life and the legend of the years.

To put it simply, it is nothing more than a gathering place for drifters.

To put it more practically, it can be regarded as a place where there is room for slander, but the premise is that its coordinate location has not been known by most people.

The Twilight Cemetery fits that bill perfectly.

In fact, when actually entering this sea area, Midi realized that it was really difficult to find here.

Because it is located deep in the central zone with no wind and no ocean currents, ordinary airships will not easily set foot in this area, otherwise, if one is not careful, it will be easy to be trapped here to death after the magic crystal fuel is exhausted.And the rays of light emitted from the space rift were blocked by the surrounding clouds and mist, so they couldn't be seen from a distance at all.

The superposition of these factors makes the cemetery at dusk extremely hidden, and it has been in an undisturbed primitive state for thousands of years.

It was also by chance that Emile deduced the location of the Twilight Cemetery from a few words in an ancient book.

However, even if she guessed it, she didn't dare to come to verify it alone, and she didn't dare to let others know the calculation result easily, for fear that it would bring disaster.

It wasn't until Reinhardt and Wiseman, a pair of lower-world humans who desperately needed money but didn't care about money in their hearts, came to Fengjianliu that Emile finally felt that the time was ripe for adventure.

So, a prince, a crazy necromancer, and her alchemist who usually stays at home, the three of them made several expeditions together, and obtained a lot of valuable ancient cruiser wreckage.

But there is no doubt that without Midi's involvement, it would be impossible for the three of them to launch any large-scale exploration.

It's not because there are few people, nor is it because of a shortage of funds, the key is that they are all laymen!
Let’s take Reinhardt as an example. This prince thinks highly of himself and has been here a few times before, so he naturally feels familiar with it. As soon as the Narwhal entered the cemetery at dusk, he immediately began to point fingers. Get up, go here, go there, salvage this, salvage that, very busy.

Obviously, Midi's proposal of "going back to fight for the throne of the Delos Empire" obviously moved his heart, and made him start to work hard.

But what is more obvious is that the direction of the prince's efforts is obviously not right.The navigation direction pointed out was even more wrong.

Although there are no monsters in the twilight cemetery, and it is in a windless zone, it looks completely dead, but in fact it is a self-contained cycle with its own mysteries.Even Midi in the previous life is very clear that most of these ancient battlefields have a magic cycle, otherwise, after thousands of years, they will simply disperse, and how can they form a "gathering place for drifting objects" ?
For seasoned adventurers, as long as they find a few more footholds and explore the direction of the magic power cycle, they can quickly infer the size of the cemetery at dusk, the thickness of its top and bottom, and the available routes—after all , Where there is a magic flow, there will be no debris accumulated, and the focus of the flow must be the location of the space crack, which needs to be slowed down and handled carefully.

But the fourth prince, who is very familiar with military affairs, politics, swordsmanship, literature, art, music, etc., can even be said to be proficient, does not even have a teacher in the field of adventure, let alone common sense.

The direction he pointed, Midi can tell with just a glance, it is basically a dead end, or the end is where there are multiple space cracks, the magic vortex area.

In this way, it is simply like a headless chicken bumping around. How can the progress of exploration not be slow?On the way forward, how could it not be dangerous?

As for the "White Snake" Emile who will be famous in the sea of ​​clouds in the future, it is not much better.

This master alchemist, who was immersed in alchemy laboratories and factories all day long, would only fix his eyes on the most valuable treasures when he was on an adventure.

Such as the engine, control room, transmission system, suspension system and so on of the ancient cruiser.

Whenever he sees the wreckage of the cruiser that may contain these things, Emile's undisguised greed will shoot out from behind the lenses of the white tortoiseshell glasses, which are much sharper than a sword!
But she didn't know at all that such a luck-based approach to salvage the wreckage as soon as she saw it would not improve the chances of actually obtaining high-value items. On the contrary, it was just a waste of time.

Because the most important thing in salvaging the wreckage is not to look at the shape, but to analyze it through clues-what kind of battle did these wrecks form?After they rushed here, what kind of state did they become?Where will those flagships that may be the most well-preserved be washed away?Where to look for it?

Only by analyzing the situation of the entire ancient battlefield can we search for the most valuable wreckage, even a complete ancient cruiser!
And if you see a "wreck that may have a complete engine inside" and salvage it according to your feeling, then it can only lead to two results in the end——

There is an illusion in the hearts of the adventurers, as if there may be a "complete engine" in every wreck.

Adventurers salvaged Tianhe because of this illusion, but found nothing!
It can be imagined that Reinhardt, who doesn't know how to open up "exploration paths" at all, and Emile, who is greedy and undisguised, these two people together are simply a disaster for real exploration, even if they The two have enough manpower and funds, and I'm afraid they can't play any tricks, let alone still in a state of poverty.

It can be said that if it wasn't because Emile was so genius in alchemy that he was able to use waste, and he developed new airship technology by relying on the salvaged waste, I am afraid they would have gone bankrupt.

As for the last one, "Nightmare Hand" Wiseman Newton...

Midi doubted whether he would honestly explore.

After a few days of observation, he even came to the conclusion that Wiseman hadn't explored at all.

Most of the time, this guy just finds a place where no one is there to be dazed. Even if Midi finds out, he doesn't care at all.

Such an unbelievable combination, in the end, was able to produce an auction item that cost Midi 20 crystal coins. Looking back now, the luck of these three people is probably too good.

However, Midi couldn't help feeling a kind of nostalgia in his mood when he saw that they had no sense of coordination and groupness, and they acted chaotically.

How long has it been since such a pure "adventure" has been seen?

There is no rich experience, no restrictions of rules and regulations, no ready-made solutions, all relying on passion and greedy desire for money, technology, etc., smashing here and there, of course, there are various Such lazy and evasive...

Maybe this is the real adventure.

It would be great if there was a day when I could have such an adventure with Fina and Alice.

Thinking of this, an imperceptible trace of nostalgia and nostalgia welled up in Midi's star-black eyes, which was rare.

"Who are you thinking about?"

A slightly resentful voice sounded in Midi's ear.

Even if it was an extraordinary awakened person, Midi was taken aback suddenly - not because he was immersed in the emotion of longing and failed to notice his surroundings, but because the owner of the voice was too good at concealing the relationship .

A level 60 assassin with awakening secret skills, this is Avril Lavigne's true strength.

Without killing intent and hostility, even Midi couldn't detect her coming.

Moreover, at some point, Avril had already stood intimately with Midi, not only wrapped around his arm like a water snake, but also tightly attached to his amazingly curvy chest.

"I said, Miss Avril, please don't play this game anymore." Midi struggled with a wry smile, but failed, and the other party moved closer, "We are already allies, and the relationship is very strong. Kind, why bother to seduce me again?"

"Seduction? Mr. Midi, what are you thinking?" Avril gave Midi a coquettish look, "I was just blown by the wind and felt a little cold, so I wanted to warm up."

In this windless zone where there is only magic power flowing, and there is no air flow at all, it is said that it is cold by the wind?Even if you make an excuse, you should find a decent one, right?
Midi was completely speechless for a moment, he tried to struggle again, but still failed.

Avril just looked at the embarrassed Midi with a smile.

Although she fell in love with Midi at the beginning, she just wanted to find a more convenient backer so that she could search for information by herself, but now that the relationship has turned into this kind of relationship by accident, how could Avril let such an ambiguous relationship so easily? Finish?
Just kidding, since you already know that Midi is a good man, then you can only increase the intensity of seduction, right?
What is an ally, how can it be satisfied!

Even if you know that the other party already has your own heart, it's fine, but for a dark elf assassin who has gone through ups and downs, if he doesn't try hard, he will never give up easily.

In any case, seduction can also be regarded as a form of gratitude.

After all, without Midi, maybe she would not be able to meet and recognize her sister in her long life, and she would not be able to live in such a safe and secure environment.

Therefore, even though Midi never mentioned it, Avril Lavigne will repay in her own way.

Of course, this "reward" includes all kinds of benefits of seduction, but it is by no means just seduction.
