Struggle in the Steam Age

There is a small sampan hidden in the woods near this scenic spot. It seems that the nearby people pulled it down on the shore to avoid the group of murlocs from destroying it. From a hole in the bottom of the boat and the traces around it, it can be seen that murlocs once found this boat, but their number was too small to take this thing away, so they had to make a hole in the bottom of the boat for venting. anger.

However, this damage was not a big problem for Lawrence and the others. Soon Safiel found a piece of dry wood from the surrounding woods and cut it to a suitable size to plug the hole. Then Lawrence released [Repair Technique] to repair the palm-sized hole on the bottom of the boat.

"As long as the paint is painted again, this ship will be as good as it was undamaged." Looking at the blocked piece, Lawrence smiled on his face. "Although it won't work if there is no paint for a long time, but it is no problem to just row the boat from here to that small island."

Then the hobgoblin summoned by Safir and Lawrence and the phantom of the blood awakened kobold warrior carried the boat into the water. Then, Lawrence summoned the phantoms of murlocs and two small fishes into the water and began to scout the nearby lake.

It may be because this place is deserted and remote, so there are almost no murlocs in the entire lake bay. Lawrence didn't find a few scattered murlocs wandering aimlessly outside the lake bay until the scope of investigation was finally expanded.

"Okay, it's quiet enough under the lake, let's go!" Lawrence said and jumped into the boat with Safiel, and then vigorously paddled the oars that were temporarily cut from wood just now. Under the boat, the phantoms of the summoned murloc and the two fish have been surrounding the boat to guard.

Although Lawrence and the others had never learned to row a boat before, fortunately, they learned it quickly as Transcendents, not to mention that rowing in a calm bay was as safe as rowing on a small lake in a park. So after only ten minutes, their boat successfully landed on the shore of the island.

After moving the boat ashore again to prevent the murlocs from destroying it, Lawrence and Safir searched the small island together. Soon, they found a destroyed altar in the center of the island.

The so-called altar was just a guess of Lawrence, because the damage to this place was too serious. All that appeared in front of Lawrence was a large pit in a clearing full of weeds and low bushes in the woods and scattered There are a lot of stones around, and the only thing that can prove that there have been traces of human activities here are some patterns and runes on the stones.

If Lawrence hadn't seen the altar of Scarlet Sky before, he would have no way to place these stones on it. Scattered runes and patterns are associated with the altar. Fortunately, after checking the stones in this place, he found a stone fragment engraved with half of the blood-colored evil emblem of the sky, and then he confirmed the specific situation here.

"What are you looking for?" Seeing Lawrence rummaging for something on the ground, and finally showing a relieved smile at a broken stone, Safiel walked to his side and asked the reason curiously .

"This should be the target of our treasure hunt." Lawrence raised the palm-sized stone flake in his hand and said to Safiel, "Look, it is engraved with the evil emblem unique to the Scarlet Sky."

"You mean - here?" Safiel looked at the mess in front of him with an incomprehensible expression. "I think even if there was a hidden treasure here in the past, it should have been dug away."

Obviously, after the members of Scarlet Sky fled here, they tried to build an altar on this small island in the Great Lakes region, which was considered a wild place at that time, and hoped to rebuild the organization, but later on, I don't know why. The crowd abandoned the place again.

Some of them successfully left here and lived their lives incognito, and recorded this place in a notebook to pass on this secret to future generations, while others were completely wiped out in constant blows.

And this place, as a base back then, was naturally searched repeatedly by the church, the federal government, and a series of extraordinary people. It is very normal for the altar to be destroyed or even the entire land to be dug three feet into the search.

"I don't think so." Lawrence shook his hand gently at Safiel and said, and then took out the pendant that was received by the space agency before, and it was exactly as he imagined. When he came out, Lawrence saw the two red gemstones in the eye sockets of the golden skull on the pendant twinkling non-stop.

"Hey, there's really a change." Safiel looked at the two flashing gems with a curious look, "If it's just flashing like this, how do you know where those hidden treasures are?"

"I have a guess, let me try it." After speaking, Lawrence began to circle around the open space. After walking a few times, he found that when he walked to a certain position, the two gems flickered The frequency of the gemstone reaches a peak, and when you walk to the position opposite to this position, the gemstone's flickering frequency will be the slowest in this circle.

"I think I know how to use this thing." As he spoke, Lawrence pulled Safir's wrist and ran down to the direction where the gemstones on the pendant had the highest flickering frequency. As he moved forward, the frequency on the gem flashed faster and faster. Until they ran to the lake, the frequency of the light flashing on the gem was still steadily increasing.

"I knew we should have taken this thing out when we were on the boat just now." Looking at the lake in front of him, Safiel looked a little annoyed. "In this way, there is no need to go around the island, let alone drag that broken boat to the shore."

"But who would have thought?" Lawrence shrugged with a wry smile. "So please again. We need to get that boat back into the water just now."

Finally, after a lot of tossing, Lawrence and the others rowed to the lake more than 100 meters away from the island. At this position, the pendant in Lawrence's hand flickered completely, as if two red light bulbs were always shining.

"The next step is to go into the water to find it. Fortunately, we don't need to go down by ourselves." Lawrence waved his hand and summoned the phantoms of the four aquatic creatures recorded on the Bai Ze map, and then controlled them to dive to the bottom of the water.

The water depth in this area is not too shallow, and the phantoms dived down more than ten meters before reaching the bottom of the lake. Fortunately, the water quality of this lake bay is very good, and the morning sun can shine through the lake water onto the lake bed. So even at the bottom of the lake, Lawrence can use the phantoms of those monsters to see the surrounding environment.

The lake bed here is densely covered with reefs and gravel, and some corals grow on the reefs. Some small fish and shrimps swim leisurely among the reefs, corals and aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake, and some shells lie quietly in the gravel at the bottom of the lake. It wasn't until Lawrence's ghostly monsters descended to the bottom of the lake that the silence was broken.

Fortunately, this place has a hard lake bottom instead of the soft lake bottom that is common in many shallow water areas, which saved Lawrence from rummaging through a large pile of silt. Although Lawrence, who controls the phantoms of these monsters, can't smell the stench in the mud, the mud brought up during the rummage will inevitably cover the sight and cause trouble.

Soon, the murloc phantom controlled by Lawrence found a different place on a reef through the pendant held in the phantom's hand: there was a coral growing on the reef at that place, but the coral and The place where the reef connects is a small circular pit that looks somewhat regular.

It was an accident to find that something was wrong. The phantom murloc pulled out some aquatic plants when he was looking for something, and those aquatic plants were pulled up and took away the mud, which also exposed this unnatural looking pit. .

"Finally found it." Lawrence let out a long sigh of relief, and then directed the monster phantoms to get busy around the reef.
