Chapter 317 Success and Crisis

A small gray-black box attracted Matthew's attention.

Sealing box!
This kind of thing is quite common in major ruins on the east coast.

Every adventurer has seen similar sealing boxes, and many have even opened them with their own hands.

This kind of box used to store items usually contains various surprises of different sizes.

Most of them are sealed personal items, which are basically worthless and will break when touched.

Occasionally there are some ancient coins, which may be bought and collected by people in other places.

But in this area, there are too many of them.

There are very few books or spell scrolls that can be opened. As long as you don't touch them recklessly and quickly hand them over to a bookstore that specializes in restoration and recording, they can often be sold for a lot of money.

The most valuable things are some very cherished magic materials!

Who knew that this inconspicuous storage box in front of them contained such an astonishing "secret"?

Matthew did not act recklessly. He looked at his attribute panel as usual and confirmed that his luck value was still online.

He felt the power of fate again and confirmed that there was no disturbing throbbing.

Only then did it open.

There was no dazzling golden light, nor was there any hidden surprise. Two palm-sized blocks of dark yellow crystal lay quietly among them.

Legendary Earth Elemental Crystal ×2
A legendary item, condensed from the earth elemental plane, with pure energy and rich earth element.

Comment: It is best not to put it on the ground, otherwise it will grow legs and escape.

two!

This is really a big surprise!

Matthew has made up his mind to ask City Lord Anne to help create an elemental energy pool, even if it costs some money.

As long as there are successful examples, Matthew can easily "steal" them!

In addition to these two crystals, there is also a small piece of paper curled together in the storage box.

Matthew didn't touch the note directly, for fear that it would turn into ashes.

He stretched out his hand and released a ball of time power, carefully covering it before releasing the intermediate repair technique.

To Matthew's surprise, this seemingly inconspicuous little note actually had the risk of failure!

Without any hesitation, Matthew consumed part of the power of destiny.

50 points!
A rather heavy little note!

Opening it, two lines of blood-colored words came into Matthew's eyes.

"Crazy, all crazy... don't... look at... the moon..."

"Delicious!!"

moon?

Was it really called the moon before?
Was this note written before the Scarlet Moon appeared?
crazy?

It must have been contaminated by the Scarlet Moon...

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Matthew understood why this note required so much power of fate!
It is a product of at least 6000 years ago!
Some party players have explored and studied the secrets behind the Scarlet Moon.

A very striking record was found.

The Scarlet Moon was not like this 6000 years ago!

It now appears that it was originally the moon, but an unknown incident occurred 6000 years ago.

The Scarlet Moon, as a source of horrific pollution that shrouds the entire material plane, has not been solved or cleared out for thousands of years. There must be some terrifying secrets hidden behind it!

You know, although before the next round of magic tide appears, those gods and evil gods are well hidden.

However, there are a lot of legendary figures on the material plane, many of whom are capable of flying directly into the air.

Even if it is to land on the moon, it is not impossible for legends to do it.

What puzzled Matthew and the players was.

Even if decades later, a horrific catastrophe breaks out in the material plane, and all kinds of terrifying enemies and monsters appear on the scene, no one can explore the terrifying Scarlet Moon!

Including those gods!Thinking of this, Matthew carefully put it back into the storage box, took away two legendary earth element crystals, and turned around to leave neatly.

If you want to live a long life, don’t do anything beyond your capabilities!
After obtaining the legendary earth element crystal, Matthew did not go to City Lord Anne immediately.

Matthew knew exactly what kind of person she was!
Now she has some "new toys" that are definitely going to be spent in the lab.

Want to find work with her?
Don’t think about it any time soon!
However, this is also one of Matthew’s purposes!

Everything is planned...

10 month 15 day.

Bay collar.

bay city.

In the lord's mansion.

Matthew got up early and explained two spells to formal spell casters such as Lianna and Meryl.

Then, he handed over the task of explaining in detail to Liana, who had a very thorough grasp of it.

Gadget man, let’s go!
Back in the study, Matthew saw this issue of the Netheril Arcane News from Bloodmoon City on his desk.

He was about to browse through it carefully to see if the major events outside the Gulf Territory matched his memory.

Before he could take a second look, Butler Ralph strode over.

He was in a hurry and looked nervous.

It must not be an easy thing to make him lose his temper like this!

Matthew, who was browsing alchemy books in the study, felt something in his heart when he saw this scene:
"coming!"

Handing over the transmitted information, Butler Ralph looked at Matthew respectfully with a little shock on his face and said:
"Lord, there is urgent news from Blood Moon City. The outer wall of the Blood Fortress has been lost!"

"More than a million siege troops have bypassed the core area of ​​the Blood Fortress and have entered the Karl Plain!"

"There are not only the orc army among them, but also a large number of trolls and barbarian wanderers!"

"Most of them are rushing towards the west, but there are also a small number of people heading south, about 20 in number!"

Seeing the Lord taking the information calmly, Butler Ralph, who had basically recovered his emotions, thought in disbelief:
"The Lord's intelligence is really very powerful!"

"No wonder the territory started preparations more than a month in advance!"

Matthew, who was lamenting that the butterfly effect could not affect the surging momentum, recalled the subsequent turbulence and continued the arrangement with a calm face:

"Issue a level [-] alert and issue guard missions to all adventurers."

"Add some manpower and transfer relatives to adventurers who are willing to settle in the Gulf Territory."

"Others, let's start as planned!"

Soon, other people who received the notice rushed to the meeting room of the Lord's Mansion as quickly as possible.

Almost everyone's face revealed a little bit of disbelief.

That's the Blood Fortress!

There are more than 30 imperial soldiers and two extraordinary high-level arcane masters guarding the imperial fortress!

How could it be lost?

Especially when they heard that the number of enemies was very likely to exceed 20, everyone's hearts beat wildly!

Last time, tens of thousands of wanderers brought considerable pressure to everyone.

Now, the number of opponents has increased nearly ten times!

Looking at the nervous big guy, Matthew had a smile on his face:

"Don't worry, they can rush to Blood Moon City at most, but they can't kill the Misty Swamp, because we are poor!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and looked at each other. The tension disappeared and they relaxed completely.

That's right, we are in a remote area like the Gulf Territory.

Lead the way for these orcs and barbarians, and they may not be willing to come!
　Dizziness, hard to bear...

　　Just two updates
