Chapter 195: The Magic Well
Chapter 191 – Magic Power Well
“What’s wrong with the underground ruins?” Owen told the Goblin General to get up and speak.
“Lord Demon King, three days ago Roger’s squad applied to enter the third floor of the relics and received permission to enter according to their contribution value in the Green Shade Town Adventure Guild, but in the early hours of this morning the third floor of the relics shook violently, and Roger’s squad walked out of the relics at noon and warned the Goblin Corps that was stationed there, this is the information they provided.” The kobold general handed the intel to Owen.
The intelligence in question was a slightly aged journal with a thick cowhide outer skin and a somewhat darker colored parchment inside, so while the pages were few, they were as thick as bricks and felt good enough to create a heavy concussion in the hand.
There were also deep marks on it that looked like they had been left by a knife or axe, so apparently at some point the thing could be used as a guard or a weapon.
Although the diary was dirty, it was an important adventure journal for Roger’s squad, a record of every thrilling adventure and their precious memories.
As a mature adventurer squad, Roger will carefully every encounter dangerous adventure process detailed records, and let the partners together to analyze the adventure process those will increase the danger, those can increase the chances of survival.
Because of Roger’s carefulness, plus good at absorbing experience and lessons, so his squad can continue to this day, and with him in the same year the formation of the squad, long ago do not know where to disappear to.
After coming to Green Shade Town, Roger attached great importance to the underground ruins, not only drew a more detailed map of the route, but also did a variety of analysis and markings, so that Owen read and nodded, but the real focus is still in the last page.
The first floor of the underground relics has already completed 80% of the exploration, and it can be determined that it belongs to the civilian area, therefore, although there will be occasional collection of gold and silver jewelry, but there are not many more valuable things, and now it has become a place for the new adventurers to practice, and to clean up the black-backed rats and the magic horned kobolds that are running around on weekdays.
The second floor belongs to the industrial area, in addition to the pit for cultivating magical creatures, there are also a large number of industrial factories, although most of the equipment has been damaged, but there are still those that maintain the operation, such as the magical creatures cultivation center, puppet factories and defense mechanisms, so the second floor of the relics is not as safe to explore as the first floor, but instead, it is full of dangers everywhere.
After all, the previous attack of the Goblin Corps had caused a large number of Demon Horned Goblins, Black Gum Worms, Black Backed Rats, and Thorn Spiders to escape into the depths of the ruins, and many of them had been captured by the Demon Cultivation Center and sent to the Puppet Factory to undergo puppeteering as a way to fill in the missing part of the defense mechanism, and some of them also acted as repair puppets, which meant that the further the time went by, the more dangerous the second level of the ruins would become.
But so far the second floor of the ruins has not caused any chaos, after all, in the hundreds of adventurers tossed, the second floor of the ruins has not collapsed even if those puppets maintenance is strong enough.
But with the discovery of the entrance to the third floor of the ruins, a lot of adventurers will not be able to bear it, will be a lot of energy on the exploration of the third floor of the ruins, for this reason there are a lot of deaths and injuries, so that the Green Shade Town Adventure Guild had to close the entrance to the third floor of the ruins for the time being, and must have enough contribution value in order to enter.
The problem was that the adventurers’ exploration of the unknown could not be stopped even if it was dangerous, so Roger’s team was the first to step into the third level of the ruins after sufficient preparation, which triggered the activation of an inexplicable mechanism, and suffered from the siege of the maddened transformation golems.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the defense mechanism was already riddled with holes, and the second floor of the ruins had a goblin corps to take over, they wouldn’t have had the chance to come back alive at all.
“Copy it once and return it to the other party, remember to give the contribution value according to the advanced quest.” After reading it, Owen guessed that Roger and the others should have contacted the real core of the underground relics, otherwise there wouldn’t have been such a big commotion, so the value of the information wasn’t low, so he gave some compensation.
“As you wish, Lord Demon King.” The Goblin General put away the adventure diary and nodded his head to show that he remembered.
Owen bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then faced Hela and said.
“Mother-sama’s purpose is the third floor of the ruins?”
Although it was a question, Owen was already sure in his heart, because this one was a legend, ordinary things couldn’t attract her interest, what could arouse the other party’s interest was, I’m afraid, only the core of this relic.
“Yes, it’s very likely that there is a magic well down there.” Hela didn’t hide her interest in the bottom, while providing an important piece of information. “A magic well that can automatically convert elements into magic power? Isn’t this the energy core of the mage tower?” Owen was stunned at first, then said with some confusion.
“The magic well was not created by the mages, but rather they imitated it, the real magic well originated from the relics of the Lost Age.” Hela scoffed at the mages’ practice of attributing the invention of the magic well to themselves.
Oh, development by archaeology, this he was familiar with, Owen nodded.
The Lost Era referred to the ancient years before the establishment of the human empire, and because it was too long ago, there were few traces left behind, and written records were even fewer.
Coupled with the fact that the empire was destroying this information intentionally or unintentionally, so the vast majority of human beings didn’t know how they came to be, and how the great war with the Hundred Races happened.
Luckily, this relic appeared in the remote northern land, otherwise it would have been impossible for Owen to occupy it and develop it.
However, Owen still had some speculations about the lost human history.
In fact, if he didn’t have the experience of crossing over, Owen might have other speculations about the Lost Age, but now he felt that the humans in this world were similar to the humans in the world of the Sea of Blue, all of them had somehow come to a new world.
So he boldly guessed that there was a more powerful human world making migrations to other worlds, the same as the empire pioneering the Northland.
True or false, Owen’s current strength was still too far from knowing the truth, so he didn’t have the intention to look deeper, but that magic well he wanted.
The current territory was like a small country ready for industrialization, and this magic well was an oil field, it was self-evident how important it was to the territory, so there was no way Owen would give it up.
At this moment, however, Hela suddenly lost interest and hugged her daughter and rode on Owen’s heavy-duty magic sheep and wanted to leave.
Owen colorfully handed over the control to the two, and his sister even waved at him with the red wolf, obviously very fond of him as her brother.
After watching the mother and daughter leave, Owen can now be sure that Hela has no ill will towards him, of course, the good feeling is not much, not as much as the curiosity towards him, belonging to the kind that if he dies on his own, at most he will help to dig a hole and fill in the soil, but will not intervene too much, the good feeling is thirty at most.
This kind of indifference to Owen is not necessarily not a good thing, at least he does not need to worry about a legendary witch trying to harm him, and also does not need to worry about a legendary witch to pay attention to him all the time.
As for why Hela suddenly lost interest, it was probably because she was sure that it was a magic well related.
Because she was born with magical power and didn’t like building complicated and cumbersome mage towers, witches weren’t very interested in magic wells.
However, Owen was determined to win the magic well, especially after having one less potential arch-enemy, the only thing that needed to be considered now were the adventurers who were prone to bad behavior.
