God's Chosen Archmage

Chapter 252 Musical Instruments and Treasures

Why, why do you only give me half of what you give? Could it be that this trial itself requires me to run around?
Holding the broken spirit beast silver flute, Ed's face was really not that pretty.Looking at the old tree elf again, the improvement is much better.

"Well, thank you young man. Take all my fruits. Hehe, these are very miraculous apples. Take one bite and everything will be petrified, but take a second bite and any type of petrification can be broken... "

The old apple tree spirit shook all his apples enthusiastically.But Ed beside him was a little speechless!

One bite of petrification, and now that it's petrified, who might have the chance to take a second bite?But when he thought about it carefully, he also thought of the purpose of these apples.Not only because the rat-headed man ate this magic apple, but more importantly, this magic apple, which has dual functions of petrification and de-petrification, is a very useful item for those who cannot release attack magic!

After figuring out this key point, Ed's eyes softened a lot when he looked at the old tree elf.Seeing that the terrain here was too high to reach the lake, he simply used low-level wind magic to open up a small aqueduct for the old tree elf.

"Oh, thank you, young man, hehe, it's hard to change that I always feel that I don't drink enough water these few years... By the way, you must be a bard (you still have that flute in your hand)? Let me tell you, go further It is inevitable that you will find a silversmith if you go to the mainland for a while, and I believe he will repair your flute..."

"Thank you, goodbye!" Ed didn't care about chatting with the old tree elf, and hurried straight to the silversmith's residence.

Huge fallen ebony trees, windmills, and a large pile of alchemy props in front of the house... Ed was relieved.The Spirit Beast Silver Flute itself is a musical instrument manufacturing technology from the long-eared elves.The appearance of these devices here shows that I will not come in vain.

"Oh... um—so that's it, it seems that the strings I made are too hard, and I need to replace them with softer ones..."

In front of those alchemy vessels, a sloppy gray goblin was concentrating on his work.Touching his nose, Ed still stepped forward.

"Uh...you are the silversmith who repairs musical instruments?"

"That's right, it's me." The gray goblin answered without looking up. "Tell me, what can I do for you? Are you here to pick up the reserved musical instrument, or are you planning to release a new musical instrument commission?"

"Oh, I just asked you to help restore a spirit beast silver flute. Look..."

These words made the gray goblin finally turn around.He looked at Ed a few times up and down, but there was an impatient expression on his face.

"No wonder, I can't do anything today. It turns out that there is another human trialer... Well, according to the regulations of this trial space, you can use my utensils. I hope you have to pass alchemy." .”

"Okay, but master silversmith, what are the specific restrictions?"

It seemed that every gray goblin who came into contact with Ed seemed very impatient. After flipping through his presents for a while, the gray goblin quickly handed over a blueprint and a level.

"Here, the blueprint for repairing the elf's silver instrument. As for the bottle, your restriction is that you are only allowed to use the silver nuggets found in my house and nearby. Just put in this water bottle, and it may be used as a repair material."

"Then..." "You can help me make the metal frame of the musical instrument, well, I can give you one to three silver coins depending on your performance."

Use your own alchemy in exchange for silver coins?When did he return to the poor days in the Nolin Swamp?Ed shook his head, but still walked to the utensil that the gray goblin silversmith had mentioned.

Dingyin stone, copper crystal sand, plus a large piece of brass.This job is really easy!After all, all difficult-to-refine materials are ready-made, but just when he was about to operate, a black shadow suddenly passed by his eyes!
It's a crow.Although Ed had heard long ago that any thing that can emit sparkling light in the material of making musical instruments would become the first choice for crows who have the same hobby as the giant dragon, but when something happened to him, he couldn't control his anger in his heart!When he reached out with his right hand, a stone hit his palm directly under the effect of fetching objects from the air, and then he released the magic repulsion force towards the direction that the crow flew away...

"Bah-wah..."

The crow's feathers were blown away by the stones, but after adjusting its wings a few times, it still flapped its wings and flew away.These crows are probably also a task of the trial ground to seize the musical instrument materials.Otherwise, it would be hard for Ed to imagine that such an ordinary beast, which is not even a monster, can resist his "sharp" stone attack!

"Ah! These damned crows! My strings! I knew that something bad would happen if the tester came!"

Ed didn't solve the thief here.But the gray goblin silversmith over there also started to curse, and he rushed to Ed in annoyance, but stuffed five silver coins into his hand.

"Here, this is an advance payment for you. But before that, you must retrieve my strings and drive away these vicious thieves."

"Oh, I'll do it." Five silver coins are enough to make enough metal patches and a Pegasus embossed material.Even for this bounty, Ed's trip is imperative!

After a while, Ed found the crow ahead.I don't know if this is due to injury or trial, but the black bird seems to stop and rest every time it flies.

Suddenly, Ed smiled.Ordinary people might try to shoot down the crow right away, but Ed's choice was to follow the big bird from afar and head straight for the crow's nest.

Sometimes, an inadvertent decision can always bring some extra gains. In the small crow's nest, Ed couldn't help but found the musical instrument materials of himself and the gray goblin silversmith, and even found a small silver box !
The surface of this silver box has long been marked silver-gray, and the few patterns on it are obviously very rough.But when Ed opened the silver box, inside was an old scroll of parchment.

Ed was flipping through it, but found that it was a treasure map, and the treasure seemed to be buried somewhere nearby.Holding his chin, Ed couldn't help hesitating.He didn't know at all whether this treasure was also part of the trial.He had already missed the extra reward for putting out the fire in the carriage because he was greedy to practice the magic.This time, the gray goblin silversmith was dissatisfied because of the long time, so the loss outweighed the gain.

What should I do, should I give up this so-called treasure?Ed struggled to think about it, but when he saw the silver box in the crow's lair again... In the end, he still walked towards the place where the treasure was hidden.The previous five silver coins, even with the newly found silver box, are still not enough materials to repair the silver flute of the spirit beast.Even if it was a risk, Ed would have to find some more silverware.

The so-called treasure burial place is in a small cave by the lake.There are no signs of human or other intelligent life visiting, nor any other living signs.Although Ed lit a homemade torch early.

But the pace of progress is becoming more and more cautious.Magic items cannot be used, naturally including storage bracelets.As we walked, we finally reached the mountainside with a wide space ahead.Under the light of the torches, the skeletons of humans, orcs, or other life forms are densely covered in every corner of the cave. Rather than saying that there are treasures buried here, it is better to say that this is a large cemetery!
Ed inserted the torch into a gap in the nearby rock wall.Start looking at every skeleton here.Copper coins, tobacco, jugs, a large number of colorful fire starters...

Except for a broad-edged sword that seemed to have little rust, Ed really didn't find a single silver coin!Suddenly, a box surrounded by several skeletons came into Ed's eyes.Overjoyed, he went up and pried it with the rusty sword, and the metal light immediately illuminated the entire cave!

This is indeed a treasure, although the value of the silver and copper coins in the box may not be as good as a large gold brick, but for Ed who wants to use silver coins to do tasks, this is indeed the best treasure in the world!

After the excitement passed, Ed began to carefully clean up his harvest.The gorgeous dagger, exquisite jewelry, and even the extremely exquisite elf harp did not attract his attention for a moment, but just as he was about to rummage through the box, a small and exquisite jewelry box quietly appeared Ed's hand.It's like Ed didn't expect that his mission would be completed by a mouthful of silver coins in the treasure box.

He also did not expect that in the treasure chest of an ordinary gang of thieves, he would also find a magic jewelry box made with alchemy!Opening the jewelry box, there was a single ring inside. Ed took it to his eyes for a closer look. It had exquisite patterns and exquisite dark blue gemstones. This was another damaged space storage ring.Even if there are no mission props stored inside, just looking at the ring itself, it is definitely worth repairing.

The storage ring that was crushed by the fire magician in the subordinate temple before, and now such a ring has been found.It seems that it is really necessary to go to Benitez after I go back.Ed thought so, but began to talk about putting these property and props into his carry-on storage bag.After a while, those things all disappeared.

As for the remaining empty box... Ed thought for a while, but he still stepped forward and picked it up with his hands.Originally, this box, he checked it if there was a trap in his arms, and took it back if there was no trap, and it was owned by the gray goblin's second child, but after the few skeletons on the box fell to the ground, under the broken bones Suddenly, there was a strong curse magic power visible to the naked eye!

not good!Why did I forget, this is a curse-like trial space!

Curses, of course, also include resentment towards the dead. Although the bones in this place are very ordinary, if you add the magic power of the curse, there is absolutely reason to believe that a ghost with a strong obsession with protecting the treasure will appear In front of Ed!
