In front of the decrepit tower, after the eight gargoyles were killed, some Soul
Sand and Remnant Souls were slowly scattered.
The total amount of Soul Sand was 300+g, and there were four Remnant Souls in total, two of which were Random Remnant Souls and two were Three-Star Level Remnant Souls.
There were no rare Remnant Souls.
Remnant Souls above the Rare Level don’t drop so easily, otherwise powerful players could simply slay all sorts of Rare Beasts, and high-level Remnant Souls wouldn’t be so scarce and expensive on the market.
Moreover, the gargoyles in front of him were substandard.
“in reality, exploring, hunting, and exterminating monsters and so on have limited benefits. These kind of tasks are mostly done by Ranger Players, and Lord Players are more interested in whether they can occupy some resource lands or find some treasures after the hunt.”
Ranger players? They are just workers, while the lord is the real boss who earns money by sitting back and relaxing.
However, he, Mu Yuan, was not a real lord. He had no income from mining, cultivation, trade, or taxes. He couldn’t even compare to the veteran players who were not affiliated with any groups. He was just a ordinary Greenhand with a little evolution ability.
For him, the drops from the eight gargoyles were already a huge income.
Moreover, Mu Yuan fought the gargoyles for the safety of his territory and, secondly, for the tower in front of him.
Mu Yuan slowly approached this ancient civilization site.
Up close, the tower appeared even more decrepit. Underneath the moss and vines crawling all over the exterior, visible cracks could be seen, some of which were half a metre wide, making one doubt the stability of the tower.
The large door of the tower was already in ruins. Any Skeleton Soldier could tear off the entire door with a little bit of force.
Perhaps some defensive enchantments were set here in the past, but everything disappeared as time went by. Even the gargoyles, known for their ‘long shelf life’, were slowly weakening over the years, becoming the small and weak creatures they were now.
In front of the door, the Dead Bone hesitated to speak.
Mu Yuan knew what the Dead Bone wanted to say – the tower was dilapidated and entering it was dangerous, which was not steady enough.
Mu Yuan also felt it was somewhat unsteady, but only players could identify the information about the ranked treasures, only he could tell the difference.
The others had no worth to him, even the Dead Bone, despite its Emperor-like appearance, had no identifying ability, unless it could acquire the hero status, then it could possess various extraordinary abilities like the Chosen Lord. Besides, the knowledge that Dead Bone had was far less than that of Great Lord Shepherd.
He had to enter this tower.
“Don’t worry, even if the tower collapses accidentally, we still have Duo Lai.”
He pulled Duo Lai over.
The big, soft and large-bodied Big Slime was indeed an excellent cushion. As long as he hid under the slime cushion in a critical moment, he would be safe.
Stable! As expected of our lord.
Mu Yuan entered the tower that had been sealed for countless years and looked around.
The inside of the tower was a little messy. He saw many broken items that looked like research equipment scattered around. In a room on one side, he found some bottles and jars that might be potions, and there were a dozen ancient books randomly placed on a shelf not far away.
However, the liquid in the potion bottles had dried up and nothing remained but some dark crystals; those ancient books, possibly very valuable, had weathered away over time, and he could only vaguely discern some unknown symbols on them.
Presumably, these were the written characters of the ancient civilization.
Mu Yuan couldn’t understand, these items could not identify any information, obviously they were all unranked ‘junk’.
Of course, he might also not know how to use them.
Getting in touch with the ruins of an ancient civilization was too early for such a Greenhand like him.
Even the existence of the ancient civilization was just something he had heard about.
“However, the ancient civilization probably did exist, but I don’t know how long ago it was, what kind of civilization it was, whether it was human or some other race, etc.”
Mu Yuan thought that Xuan Country probably had a certain understanding of the ancient civilization.
After all, he, a Greenhand, could get some vague information about it from some not-so-old players, so what about the Great Lord of Xuan Country that had already established grand cities and vast territories?
The world was deeper than he thought.
And he was just a pure Greenhand who could only mingle in the Newbie area. Killing a few gargoyles that were not even at the professional level was nothing to be proud of.
They were just slightly more powerful novice monsters.
In the time that follows, Mu Yuan rummages through every corner, pulling out every item he can find in the tower and meticulously examining each one. Finally, he uncovers the truly valuable, high priced, celebratory treasures.
There are two in total.
They are the only two treasures within the tower that can be identified, their number minuscule, but any one of them makes him feel that this trip was worthwhile, an absolute bargain!
‘Miracle Building ■ Blueprint: Mage Tower (Basic)’
‘Rank: Rare’
■Description: A special blueprint manifested by the laws of the universe. Simply choose a suitable location, unfold and input the required materials to construct a miracle building with special effects in a short time.1
‘Note: This blueprint can only be used once.’
This is an arcane blueprint that emits a soft green light.
Originally hovering slightly within a storage chest that has long rotted away, it appears unaffected by time and not a speck of dust on it.
This is one of the most valuable treasures in the Eternal World, the Miracle Blueprint!
Mu Yuan of course had heard of it. It’s an item countless Lord Players pursue.
This ‘Mage Tower (Basic)’ blueprint and the Shaman Inheritance Stone are both of the rare rank, but the value of the former is probably hundreds of times more than the latter.
This is due to the distinctiveness of the Miracle Buildings.
Unlike self-constructed buildings, Miracle Buildings are not only easy to construct and expedient, but they also possess ‘special effects’. For example, some buildings can improve Soul Sand absorption by 200%, 300% during troop training;
Defensive buildings, for instance, can operate against enemies without troops; And forging buildings can easily produce standard equipment with special attributes;
The highest honor among Miracle Buildings is the Troop Buildings. It’s rather hard for Lord Players to obtain such a building.
However, if one performs excellentially in the Lord Trial, they can be rewarded by the heavens and earth, giving them a decent chance of receiving a Troop Building.
That’s why countless Whales are allured.
“Looking at the description of the Mage Tower, it appears to be a defensive building with some research capabilities… When you think about it, isn’t this dilapidated tower under my feet a Mage Tower? Only a Miracle Building could remain standing after all these years.”
“With the Mage Tower, my chances in the Lord Trial have greatly increased… Hmm, I must gather the necessary materials as soon as possible.
The other artifact also happens to be a rare item.
A special tool, to be exact.
It’s an exquisite looking lamp, similar to a water bottle, embellished with gold outlines. It’s covered in dust, looking quite worn out. If it weren’t for the identification, Mu Yuan would have thought it was simply a decorative item.
‘God Monster Crystal Lamp (Rare)’
■Description: Rub the crystal lamp three times to summon a double-ranked God Monster to command.’
■Note: A single summon lasts up to 30 minutes, this tool’s remaining usage:
2/3-‘
God Monster, a rare three-star troop.
Of course, Mu Yuan doesn’t care about its rarity. The Dead Bone is also a rare three-star, possessing three skills and a talent, its luxury configuration far surpassing other rare three-stars of the same rank.
Regardless of how strong the Dead Bone is, it’s only at zero rank level 6. The potential to combat an ordinary profession-level troop is still an unknown. Setting aside ranks to talk about classes, it’s simply a future prospect.
The Crystal Lamp’s God Monster is at the second rank…an ‘Elite-level’ unit as defined by the Xuan Country, a rare troop in its complete form.
“With this God Monster Crystal Lamp, I don’t have to worry too much about the Wandering Ogre in the north… After all, unlike the inferior Gargoyle, the Ogre isn’t dormant. Being a Rare Wild Beast, there’s a high chance that it has reached the professional level.”
“Of course, I’m not going to use the precious usage of the Crystal Lamp on a mere wild monster, as long as the Ogre doesn’t come to provoke us, we can wait until we have enough power to vanquish it.”
“The most important thing is, with this Crystal Lamp, I can also be much safer in the real world, not having to be nervous even when selling items.” “It’s just a pity that the Crystal Lamp only has two uses left, destined to be used only in crucial moments.”
Mu Yuan thought, his greedy heart dissatisfied..
