Chapter 184: Aristocratic Expedition Preparation

In other ancient legends of Port Lavanlais, in the distant past, there were no mountains at the northernmost end of the island, only a cold and boundless rocky wasteland.

When people came to this island, the noise awakened the ancient god sleeping in the wasteland.

He opened his eyes, and the earth split apart, huge peaks emerged from the earth, and terrifying flames emerged from the mountains, bringing abundant darkness and fruits.

To this day, the terrifying god is still sleeping under the ancient mountains. And his evil incarnation is at the highest point of the mountains, in the lonely castle, and it never dissipates.

On the map provided by the old explorer Baigson, there is only a rough terrain deep in the mountains on the north side of the island.

There are only some scattered location signs, marking several cave cracks leading to the underground gem mines, and the specific locations of three unknown ruins.

The ancient rock wall with huge rock reliefs mentioned by Evan is one of the three unknown ruins.

Passing through a small sparse and low forest at the foot of the mountains, Avis and Jom walked on a weedy open space in the forest.

The tall trees became sparse, and the air was filled with a fresh and sharp smell of sunshine, accompanied by the occasional crisp bird calls, and the unique fragrance of fresh trees came from all around.

On one side of this clearing in the forest, beside the gurgling clear stream, ancient ruins are located here, as if they were left by some ancestors on the island.

Those buildings that were once built with large pieces of gray-white rocks and represented civilization have now finally returned to their original natural state.

The wind in the forest passed through the gaps between the ruined rock pillars, blowing the wild bellflowers with tiny white flowers blooming among the gravel.

The light golden sunlight in the afternoon penetrated through the sparse branches and leaves, shrouding the thin smoke and clear stream water of the ruins, reflecting a hazy and dreamy color.

This small ancient ruin is not marked on the parchment explorer map.

Similarly, there are basically no high-value items left inside.

If a player can find this place, he may find some small things left among the rocks of this ruin, and by the way, he can add a little pitiful experience value by opening the map.

"Sir Avis, the strength and activity of the curse force field in the range of hundreds of meters ahead have been significantly enhanced. Please make preparations in time."

At this time, Joem suddenly spoke and said the news he detected in a deep voice.

Avis's eyes can also see that hundreds of meters ahead, there seems to be an invisible dividing line between the mountains and the forest.

The normal vegetation disappeared, replaced by barren gray-white rocky hillsides and some dark low plants that look very strange.

Just like the sea of ​​​​fog and the sky of the island, a layer of clouds that are unwilling to dissipate also covers the mountains of the island, making its huge outlines hazy.

"Okay, let's do it here."

Avis nodded and said something a little incoherent.

But Joem immediately understood what Avis meant. He nodded and took out a round stone slab as dark as night from the space ring.

The surface of the stone slab was engraved with fine and complex lines of mithril inscriptions that would make people feel dizzy even if they just glanced at it, just like the stars in the night sky.

In the center, there was an empty slot as big as an apple, as if something needed to be inserted.

After a casual glance around, Joem walked to the corner of the ruins, between several tilted stone pillars supporting each other. The mental power penetrated his body, forming a miniature [Liquid Ground] spell effect.

A small piece of rock in front of him and the ground liquefied instantly, and then returned to hardness, leaving a flat ground.

Placing the magic circle slab in his hand on the flat ground, Joem took out another magic crystal cut into a dodecahedron and placed it in the empty slot.

As the crystal was embedded, the entire mithril magic circle suddenly emitted a faint light.

A faint spatial fluctuation spread out, and then gradually disappeared.

Portable fixed-point space teleportation array, produced by Olivendi——

Each use requires a high-purity magic crystal, which can support the operation time of about seven days.

As long as the return beacon matched with the teleportation array is activated, the teleporter can instantly return to the location of the teleportation array at any point within a radius of 3,000 kilometers from the array.

In addition, due to the existence of the activated teleportation array, the nature of this teleportation belongs to the teleportation array fixed-point teleportation, which can ignore most of the space blockades.

The safety of the user is much higher than that of the teleportation scroll that is easily disturbed. The only disadvantage is that the price is extremely expensive, comparable to a seventh-level magic equipment.

Of course, in a sense, this is not a disadvantage of the teleportation array.

After confirming that the teleportation array is operating normally, Joem waved his hand, controlled a thin layer of rock to cover the array underneath, and used magic to hide the array position.

After setting up the emergency escape equipment, Avis replaced the five rings on his left hand with those specially used to defend against curses, and then slowly left the forest and entered the mountains.

As soon as they stepped onto the steep slope of the upper rock, a strong curse force field instantly enveloped the two of them.

Unlike other places on the island, the curse force field here became very active, and even during the day, the concentration reached a level that was effective against the third level.

If the state of the curse field before was similar to a lazy slime, then now it is a slime that desperately pounces on the female adventurer after being in heat.

Although it will not melt your clothes, it will melt your sanity.

The rings that resist the curse light up one by one, and a layer of light moon-white protective aura rises from Avis's body, repelling the strong curse power surging around.

Comparing the approximate position of the surrounding mountains on the map again, Avis's eyes locked on a slightly gentle peak in the depths of the continuous mountains in front.

The mountain is shaped like a curled up cat, with a slight arc at the bottom, and the slightly sharp top "cat ears" have penetrated the snow line and are covered by a white snow.

After confirming the direction, Avis and the others arrived at their destination in a moment.

It seems that due to the different angles, he did not see the huge stone-carved mountain wall.

When he turned to the other side of the mountain range, Avis finally saw the legendary cliff with a huge mysterious rock statue embossed on it.

The entire cliff was also shrouded in a thin layer of mist, looming in the mist. One after another, huge rock reliefs that were almost as tall as the mountains revealed their mysterious veil to Avis.

As Evan described, the creatures on it were a bit like a mixture of faceless humanoids and black sea lily tentacles.
