Chapter 897 The Sunset of the Empire (End)

Although there are map guides, there are no satellites these days, so don’t put too much hope in the accuracy of hand-drawn maps. Basically, they only give a rough range. In addition, many sand dunes in the desert can change at any time. The wind was flying around, and there weren't many reference points in terms of terrain.

Therefore, Zhang Heng wandered around the desert for a full month before he found the stone tablet that Lucilla said represented the entrance to the library. On the way, Zhang Heng also accidentally ran into a group of robbers, although Zhang Heng finally killed all the robbers. It was solved, but we still lost two camels and a guide.

Due to bad luck, the guide happened to be far away from Zhang Heng when the incident happened. He was hit by an arrow in the forehead and died on the spot. Zhang Heng had no choice but to pay for an extra pension. He asked his companions to bring the money to his family, but the two camels were frightened and ran away. It was not a big problem. Anyway, as long as they touched the place, if the food and water were not enough, they could go to nearby towns to replenish it.

When he reached the final destination, Zhang Heng said goodbye to the remaining two guides, and then pitched a tent next to the stone monument. In the evening, after he had eaten the outdoor barbecue and the moon climbed above his head, Zhang Heng followed Lucila's instructions. After waiting patiently for a while and confirming that it was past midnight, Zhang Heng extinguished the bonfire and walked about fifty steps in the direction indicated by the shadow of the stone tablet.

Of course, there are errors in this thing. The time is easy to tell. After all, Zhang Heng has a hidden item in his hand, which is his starfish watch. You can know when it is twelve o'clock by converting it according to the time. But the problem is that the moon is in the sky. The height of the walk changes with the seasons, and everyone's pace is also different.

Therefore, in Zhang Heng's view, the senior assassins of Balanced Blade two hundred years ago were quite cheating when they designed the entrance. Although the entrance was powerful, it was not easy for those who came after to enter.

But complaining was useless. After finding the place, Zhang Heng started working. He picked up the shovel and dug up the sand. After another half an hour, Zhang Heng's shovel finally shoveled something hard.

After all, the Blade of Balance is just an assassin organization. No matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to create a library out of thin air under the sand. Therefore, there is actually a natural cave here, which was discovered by the Blade of Balance, and some work was done later. It was transformed and disguised, and a stone monument was erected to mark it.

Now that he has found the cave, it is logical to find the entrance to the cave. Zhang Heng used a shovel to lift the sand into the sky and let it blow away with the wind, revealing the bronze door below. After that, Zhang Heng threw away the shovel and took out the He knocked the dagger in the four directions of the bronze door in a specific order, and finally took out a movable piece of iron in the lower left corner of the bronze door, inserted the dagger in, and touched the mechanism inside.

[Ding, successfully found the secret library of the Blade of Balance, game points +50, you can go to the character panel to view relevant information...]

After completing the above steps, Zhang Heng heard the sound of the system in his ears. At the same time, he also heard a rumbling sound coming from the underground. It was the sound of the iron plate driving the bronze gate rotating.

Zhang Heng took two steps back and looked at the slowly opening bronze door in front of him. He knew that a new world was waving to him behind this door.

[Return deadline reached, mission completed confirmed...]

[Complete the dungeon Empire's Sunset, the ninth round of the game is over, and you are about to return to the real world...]

…………

On the 560th day, Zhang Heng received the prompt to return to reality. Before that, he had been in the secret library of the Balanced Blade for seven months and eleven days.

Of course, Zhang Heng didn't stay there forever. In fact, while looking through the library's collection, he would go out for a walk from time to time to breathe in the fresh air outside, or go to a nearby town to improve his food. Although Zhang Heng complained about the library's entrance design It's not easy to find, but I have to admit that those guys at least two hundred years ago did put a lot of thought into building this library, and they almost used the technology they mastered to the extreme.

After entering the library, Zhang Heng found that he could actually control the mechanisms inside and raise a rock with holes all over the body to the entrance. This could maintain air circulation and prevent passers-by from discovering the underground. The library exists, so Zhang Heng is quite happy staying down there.

By the sixth month, his assassin skill had been upgraded to lv3, and this was probably the fastest skill he could reach lv3. You must know that it took him several days to upgrade the sailing ship from lv2 to lv3 in the Black Sail copy. Years of time, and this time, thanks to the secret library of Balanced Blade, it only took him a little more than a year.

Coupled with the 292 points obtained one after another in this copy and the item called [Heart of Cleis], this time it was a fruitful harvest.

When Zhang Heng opened his eyes again, he had returned from the desert full of yellow sand to the lounge on the second floor of Sex and the City.

Zhang Heng stood up from the booth and walked directly in front of the bartender.

"I can pay back the 71 points I paid on credit last time. In addition, there is also a prop that I want you to appraise this time."

Before, Zhang Heng almost recast the [ordinary knife] by selling it out, and in the end he only had 21 points left, so that he couldn't even pay for the ceremony to inherit the remaining power in the shadow set. Fortunately, he adjusted it. The sommelier was quite reasonable and agreed to let him owe the rest of the points first.

So the first thing Zhang Heng did after the dungeon ended was to pay back the points he owed before, and then put the unidentified [Heart of Cleis] on the bar. Although the specific function of this prop He had basically figured it out, but he didn't know if there was anything missing. Anyway, Zhang Heng didn't lack the 3 points, so he simply left it to the bartender lady for appraisal.

"Congratulations, it seems your harvest is as good as ever." The bartender accepted the sapphire, took out the tablet, and brought up the payment interface.

Without any further reminder from the bartender, Zhang Heng took the tablet and entered his player number skillfully, deducting 74 points.

"It seems that the cooperation between us is as pleasant as ever." The bartender lady said with satisfaction, "I will help you identify this prop as soon as possible. By then, I guess your knife will be recast, yes. Should I send it to your school, or should you pick it up yourself?"

"I'll get it." Zhang Heng replied without much hesitation. The previous props were relatively small, but sending a knife to the school was a bit too much. Zhang Heng was not worried about not being able to pass the guard. The sommelier lady didn’t know what kind of logistics she used. She estimated that even if Zhang Heng stayed on the moon, he would be able to receive the package from her on time. But the problem is that Zhang Heng had nowhere to put the knife when he got it at school. If Chen Huadong or Wei Jiangyang were to They find it easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
