Wizarding World Beekeeper

Hua Mi looked around and discovered a detail.

It was not something that could be seen with the naked eye, but some temperature abnormalities were discovered through the infrared thermal imaging camera.

The unusual point is the pile of rubble next to it.

The temperature of the stones here is generally purple-black in color as shown on the thermal imager screen.

However, the surface of some gravels has twists and turns of orange-red lines.

Hua Mi walked over and confirmed that the lines on it were invisible to the naked eye.

Release your mental power and take a closer look.

Sure enough, there are subtle magical fluctuations that are difficult to detect.

It is this unknown magical effect that causes the temperature abnormalities on the stones.

It's just that the magic fluctuations on each stone are too small, just like a small whirlpool on the water. There are very few stones with abnormal temperature. This energy is evenly distributed to the entire rubble pile and can be ignored.

If he hadn't known in advance that there was something abnormal here, even if he deliberately used his mental power to explore the pile of rubble, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.

Hua Mi observed several stones and found that these broken stones seemed to fit together perfectly, and after being put together, the magic lines on them could be connected together.

This is enough to show that these stones with magical effects were originally a whole.

"Could it be some kind of magic circle originally?"

Even if broken apart, the individual stones still have a weak magical effect.

If you put it together again, the magic circle might still work.

These rocks are quite big, not to mention that some may still be buried underneath.

But with the help of the powerful bee swarm, I don’t have to worry about being unable to move it.

At most it takes some time and effort.

I looked at the sky and saw that it was getting darker.

Although this place is in ruins, the incomplete walls can still be used as a barrier, and it is flat enough to place camping equipment.

"Just rest here tonight... By the way, do you want to put this magic circle together before it gets dark?"

Hua Mi was a little undecided.

The main reason is that I don’t know what effect the magic circle can produce after being put together.

If there is a danger that he cannot handle, it would be shooting himself in the foot. Being adventurous does not mean seeking death.

But if I just ignore it, I will feel like a caterpillar crawling in my heart, itching terribly.

"You can operate from a distance."

For example, when splicing the last piece, first ride a mount and run a hundred meters away, and then control the powerful swarm to splice the stones together.

This is safer.

"Hey, after thinking about it so much, I might not be able to put it together at all in the end. This ruins looks a bit old, and maybe some of the stones that hold the magic circle have been damaged."

After weighing it for a moment, Hua Mi had already made a calculation in her mind.

First, control the powerful swarm and move the stones with magic patterns to the open space here.

After comparison, these dozen pieces of gravel should be all that can be put together to form a complete pattern.

He tried to butt two pieces of gravel together. Miraculously, the two pieces of gravel immediately attracted each other like magnets, fitting tightly to each other and fitting perfectly.

This made him feel more and more that the completed magic circle would most likely produce some kind of magical effect.

So he rode a deer away from the ruins.

Leave a scout bee and a powerful swarm over there.

Scout bees serve as eyes, and vigorous bees are responsible for transportation.

Pieces of gravel are gradually pieced together into a whole.

An irregular stone slab one meter square gradually took shape.

When the last piece of gravel is placed in the upper right corner.

A red magic circle pattern visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared on the surface of the entire stone slab.

Before he could take a closer look, there was a muffled "bang" sound.

With the magic circle as the center, a shock wave erupted in all directions.

The impact area is not large, just slightly larger than the scope of the ruins.

But it blew away all the fog within the area, making the ruins area temporarily become an empty and pure land in the misty mountains.

All these are pictures sent back by the scout bees.

The shock wave just now did not seem to have any lethality. It only caused the bee swarm to lose balance briefly, and the whole group did not suffer any damage.

Hua Mi controlled the scout bee to adjust its viewing angle and aimed at the magic circle.

I saw that the stone slab had almost recovered into a whole body, with almost no cracks visible.

The magic array pattern on the stone slab was also darker than before.

The stone slabs emit streaks of light vertically upward.

A translucent silver box appeared in the beam, floating above the stone slab.

After confirming that there was no danger, Hua Mi urged Lu Fei to return to the scene.

When he got close to the stone slab, a line of words appeared out of thin air on the virtual image of the box, which was written in common human language:

"What is the most commendable quality of an adventurer? Boldness? No, it is carefulness. The extreme carefulness allowed you to discover the treasure I have hidden here."

This line of writing stayed for a few seconds and then disappeared, followed by a new line of writing:

"But in addition to carefulness, luck is also a very important part. So next, if you want to inherit my treasure, try your luck in various places in the Misty Mountains. Only by finding the key I have hidden can you open this treasure chest, hehe— —M.”

"..."

I feel like the person hiding the treasure is not a serious person.

And started playing games.

The signature is a symbol similar to the letter "M", and I don't know what it means.

Hua Mi picked up a branch and poked the treasure chest.

I found that although it looks like a virtual shadow, it can interact with the outside world. The branches cannot penetrate it, but instead seem to be poking on a real box.

In other words, the key is probably physical.

"But I don't have time to find the key...wait, the key?"

Hua Mi stared at the keyhole on the treasure box and suddenly remembered something.

He used his mental power to pull out the silver pocket knife from the storage space and tentatively reached for the keyhole of the treasure box.

The moment the tip of the knife touched the keyhole, the blade suddenly melted. As he applied more force, it was smoothly inserted into the keyhole.

Hua Mi held the handle of the knife and twisted it to the right.

Click, the lid of the treasure chest opened.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that. I'm not a serious adventurer either."

When the lid was opened, the treasure chest turned into a burst of light particles and disappeared.

The stone slabs underneath also cracked again and turned into a pile of rubble.

A thick note fell on the slate that had lost its magical effect.

The appearance looks unremarkable, just the most common kind of notebook.

Just extra thick.

I penetrated it with my mental power and found that it had no magical effect at all. It was just an ordinary notebook, the same on the outside as on the outside.

"Could it be that the content inside is valuable?"

Of course, it could just be the treasure hunter's bad taste.

After the adventurer went through all kinds of hardships to find the key and open the box, he opened the note and read, "Haha, you must have been fooled."

It is estimated that the mentality will explode on the spot.

Hua Mi was prepared to be fooled and opened her notes.

"Huh?"

Turn another page.

"ah?"

Turn over again.

"Ouch!"

After flipping through several pages, I couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is..."

As the pages turned, Hua Mi felt more and more shocked.
