Chapter 914 -554 Small World Key_2
Losing some extraordinary resources is not important, but it undoubtedly threatens the safety of our own base.
Therefore, apart from the main storyline of exploring the small world in version 3.0, the attacks and defenses between various extraordinary forces on enemy small worlds is an impactful side quest.
Among these, the disputes between the True God Church and the Evil God believers are the most intense.
However, Lis does not intend to intervene. Even though according to the plan, he should be able to achieve Legend status before version 3.0 arrives, actively intervening in the conflict is still beyond his power.
Better to take this opportunity to gain some benefits.
After all, a Phillips Crystal just fell near our own territory, and the surrounding environment of this Phillips Crystal is the best and most convenient, being the most important location in version 3.0.
With Lis’s strength and status at that time, and his good relationship with the Church of the Gods, getting more benefits is not a problem.
Networking and leveraging connections is indeed the most satisfying thing.
This is the plan Lis made for version 3.0, but he did not expect to acquire a Small World Key at this time.
Before version 3.0, the value of a Small World Key is more precious than a strong piece of Legendary Equipment.
Indeed, 10 points of Luck Value is the real deal!
Lis stroked the ruby brooch in his hand, carefully examining it.
But soon, Lis’s brows began to furrow.
It seems like the Small World Key in his hand is not complete.
No, it’s not incomplete; but rather, this key needs to find the corresponding door.
Lis looked at the ruby brooch in his hand, speechless.
He now believes this Small World Key was indeed discovered in the desert ruins.
As time passes, various magic studies are actually continuously improving.
Except for a few research directions, even during the Magic Empire period, many magical knowledge in comparison is now outdated.
The Small World Key in Lis’s hand is in this situation.
From Mr. Stephens’s research notes, Lis found a method to stabilize the passage to the small world space.
A Small World Key formed through this method can already exist independently, directly opening the space passage to the small world.
And the Small World Key in front of him does not work.
It should be that the Small World Key was made a long time ago, during the era before the Western Desert formed.
In Lis’s perception, this Small World Key cannot independently open the space passage; the corresponding passage to the small world has been sealed, and Lis’s key can unlock that sealed passage.
This is troublesome; at least now Lis has no way to retrieve the small world.
Lis rubbed the brooch in his hand, thinking.
If it was discovered from that desert ruins, it is very likely that the sealed space passage is there.
Even if it isn’t, the clues to that small world are certainly there.
Fortunately, marks were left on the person before, Lis can still find that person now.
Looking outside at the night that had deepened, Lis stood up.
Wait a bit more, no hurry.
…
A wobbly Jack left the tavern, returning to the home of the team in Ambundo City, his eyes somewhat dazed.
Today’s harvest was good; many items found in those ruins were sold.
This way, it won’t take long to sell all the goods in hand.
Jack’s adventure team has quite good strength, after exploring a desert ruins, they arrange for someone to come to Ambundo City to sell the findings.
On one hand, to sell at a better price, on the other hand, to take the time to rest the team.
After all, during each exploration of the ruins, everyone’s spirits are tense, always on guard against potential dangers.
This time, it was Jack’s turn to sell the earnings at Ambundo City.
Everyone in the team gets along well, coordinates harmoniously, and does not worry about anyone embezzling others’ earnings.
Quickly finish, then find time to go home for a walk.
Jack thought vaguely as he lay on the bed.
Speaking of which, this time went so fast because of that young man…
Lis’s face appeared in Jack’s mind, then followed by a twitch of his heart.
Don’t know why, he feels something is off with that young man.
Not that the person is wrong, but sensed something from their expressions.
Not those arcane cards, perhaps it’s those jewelry pieces?
But he checked those jewelry pieces many times, really no peculiarities?
Though confident in his judgment, Jack still can’t shake off Lis’s last question.
Is it possible he misjudged, and there really is something precious in the jewelry pieces?
Thinking these thoughts, Jack suddenly felt a strong urge to sleep come over him, his eyes closed swiftly as he fell into slumber.
In the dream world,
Lis watched Jack’s Dream Space rise before him, nodding slightly.
Been a long time since returning to Dream Space, he somewhat missed it.
But compared to directly controlling and forcing Jack for information, asking in Dream Space is gentler, with a higher chance of success.
Lis entered Jack’s Dream Space, with increasing power, his actions in the dream world became more adept.
In Jack’s Dream Space, Lis saw Jack’s body buried in an endless ocean of gold coins, swimming freely.
This dream is indeed too real…
Lis shook his head, appearing before Jack.
Jack raised his head, upon seeing Lis, his emotions suddenly went out of control, angrily saying to Lis:
“It’s you!”
“Tell me quickly, what’s the situation with those pieces of jewelry you bought from me?”
Oh?
Lis raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.
Did this person really notice something?
Rich experience indeed!
Lis was indifferent, casually employing the power of dreams to control Jack, his gaze lost the sharpness from before.
Compared to his first use of the Sphinx Dream Building Skill, he has become much stronger.
This Jack before him is merely an Initial Stage Golden Rank Hunter, in Dream Space hardly has any strong defenses, easily controlled by Lis.
“Was this brooch discovered in the ruins?”
Lis waved his hand, the ruby brooch appearing before him.
“Yes.”
Jack mumbled.
“Where exactly did you find it in the ruins?”
Lis asked, looking at Jack.
“Downstream of the Suocao River, three days journey from Russell Oasis.”
Lis materialized the map of the southern desert in front of him, Jack moved forward and marked the location of the ruins.
Here…
Lis nodded, it matched his anticipation.
Lis knew Suocao River as one of the streams flowing through Turte Oasis, merging south into the ocean.
While Russell Oasis is along the banks of Suocao River, roughly ten days’ journey from Turte Oasis.
If those ruins were far away, Jack wouldn’t come to Ambundo City to sell items, but go to other cities.
“Think about the situation when you found the brooch.”
Lis guided Jack, speaking softly.
As Jack recalled, the environment around them began to change.
In the vast, boundless desert, a Royal Palace long forgotten by time lies half-buried by relentless sands, its fragmented silhouette whispering ancient Glory under the dusk glow.
With Jack’s recollection, an astonishingly well-preserved room emerged deep within the grand ruins, its arrangement appearing to be a bedroom.
Despite walls eroded by time and marred with traces, faintly visible are the meticulous engravings. Golden reliefs glinted in dim light, formed from precious materials showing flying birds, entangled vines, and lions symbolizing power and Glory. Although many parts are missing, one can imagine the ultimate luxury and exquisite craftsmanship of the past.
And that ruby brooch conincidentally placed in a cabinet among other dull Gold jewelry.
However, Lis’s gaze was cast towards the room’s ceiling.
Where lay a hidden hexagram pattern among the engravings!
