Chapter 940: Exchange of Ancient Relics I

There are many types of unknown items, and they are usually some kind of miscellaneous items with more symbolic meaning than practical significance or magical items left over from long ago.

There is nothing too strange about their own functions, but the origin of each unknown item is very interesting, and it may be fruitful to trace it back.

In addition to those items of unknown and special quality, there are some items that even the lord system does not have clear information on. Although such items account for a small proportion, Zong Shen happens to have some on hand.

The most recent example is the [Strange Unknown Beast Egg (Unknown)]. This beast egg of unknown origin has a hungry ability to absorb actively released elemental magic and most energy. The [Strange Stone (Unknown)] with huge unknown energy is still absorbing and running, and no one knows when it will be hatched.

The beast egg and strange stone are both standard unknown items.

It’s so unknown that even the lord system has no records!

As for items of special quality, they are not that mysterious, but each item has its own unique origin and heritage, and all of them are special.

Now it’s time to see what type of “unknown” or “special” items these “ancient relics” are.

To be able to be included in the exchange shop of the Mysterious Palace, the origins of these items should have been analyzed, so they must not be completely unknown.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen chose to open the redemption option of [Ancient Relic Limited Equipment], and the interface in front of him also changed immediately, and rows of redeemable items appeared.

[Broken Soul Contract (Unknown)]

[Redeem points: 99999]

…

[Sleeping Strange Tree Seed (Special)]

[Redeem points: 99999]

…

[Void Wordless Book Page (Unknown)]

[Redeem points: 99999]

…

[The Secret Records of Legendary Adventurer Tim Acklin (Special)]

[Redeem points: 99999]

…

【Silent Paper Bird (Special)】

[Redeem points: 99999]

…

[Legendary painter Qifanda’s bionic brush (unknown)]

[Redeem points: 99999]

…

[The Sleeping Princess’ Rotten Apple (Unknown)]

[Redeem points: 99999]

…

Quickly scanning the exchange list, Zong Shen frowned slightly.

Alpha also bowed at this moment.

"Sorry, I lack information about the items in this redemption option and cannot give you a detailed answer."

"But you can rest assured that every item among them has a deep and ancient origin, and there will definitely be no useless things mixed in."

"However, they are also divided into high and low levels. Among them are items with more precious and important events and clues, as well as items of a lower level."

Zong Shen was not surprised by Alpha's words.

Among all the levels of items he knew, those with "unknown" and "special" qualities were not simple, and they were not in large quantities. Only one or two items could be obtained from a large number of unboxings.

In addition, there is a very small probability that these two quality types can be obtained through the occasional rewards from the ruins and the lord system.

You must know that Zong Shen has opened quite a few boxes since he came to the present.

However, he has not received many things of "unknown" and "special" quality. Zong Shen is not surprised at all that blind box options will appear.

The golden subtitles representing the strategy module had already appeared. He nodded to Alpha to indicate that he understood, and then concentrated on thinking.

There are a total of seven items on the list, four of which are of "unknown" quality, and three of which are of "special" quality.

He needs to select the two items with the greatest potential value based on the notes in the strategy module and related clues.

In addition to the potential value, the difficulty of follow-up tracking and development must also be weighed here.

Behind almost every item there is a story hidden over the years.

And as Alpha said before, all of these items are related to the Endless Continent, and only a few of them float from the void.

The redemption price of each item here is a fixed 99999 points.

But in fact, their value does vary significantly.

But overall, no matter how you buy it, you won’t lose money.

This is especially true for someone like Zong.

The strategy module has become his most powerful information backing.

Although the number of similar "unknown" and "special" items is rare, some still fall into the hands of various lords.

For other lords, even if they know these things in their hearts, it is difficult to dig out follow-up clues.

After all, the item itself is equivalent to a thread. It is very difficult to trace it step by step without information. It is like a treasure map that has been heavily encrypted. It is not easy to dig out the treasure.

In contrast, Zong Shen does not need to spend that much effort. Once the item is obtained, the strategy module will tell you all the clues contained in it and the causes and consequences of related events, so that it will become easier and more straightforward to dig out subsequent relics or treasures. white.

Each of the above items made Zong Shen curious and yearned for:

[Broken Soul Contract (Unknown)] is a contract left by a strong man from the ancient era. It has the effect of being rooted in the soul. After obtaining it, you can deeply trace the remains left by that strong man, but the contract itself is broken. , and the contractor has long since died, so it is difficult to specifically judge its clue potential.

[Sleeping Strange Tree Seed (Special)] seems to be able to breed giant trees rooted in the core of the continent, and create a tree world based on this.

However, it is in a strange sleeping state. It cannot be awakened by any method, and it does not respond to external stimuli. Legend has it that this tree species is originally related to the famous "World Tree". The last clue implies that it has The potential to transform the world only if it can be awakened.

[Void Wordless Page (Unknown)] is a strange book page that fell from the cracks in the void to the endless continent tens of thousands of years ago.

It is a blank piece of paper with no writing on it.

Thousands of years ago when the contemporary human Kingdom Era rose, this page once fell into the hands of a super-level great mage.

That magician is a rare four-element divine scroller.

His spellcasting talent and understanding were astonishingly high, and he was a shining star even in that era when heroes were competing for hegemony.

It is said that the great mage saw a new type of super forbidden technique from this page, and thus developed the famous [Void Gravity] magic.

In the subsequent battle, [Void Gravity] appeared and directly destroyed the Lion's Mane Fortress, which was a giant city-level super fortress.

To this day, there is still a huge pit and lake at that location, which is the trace left after the spell was cast.

After that battle, the Grand Mage disappeared along with the pages.

In other words, this is a page where it is very possible to comprehend ultra-level magic.

The judgment of ultra-level magic is relatively broad.

As we all know, first-level and second-level magic are called primary magic.

The magic of the third and fourth levels is called intermediate magic, while the magic of the fifth and sixth levels is high-level magic.

The higher the level, the greater the power and coverage of magic.

As for the seventh-level and eighth-level magic above the sixth level, it is "natural disaster level".

The magic that can be called "super-level" and "forbidden magic" are at least above natural disasters. Their power is no less than the explosion of [Yin Shi Arcane Crystal Shards], and even the coverage range is even better. There are much larger ones.

Super-level magic can be used in giant cities that lack sufficient means of magic resistance.

You must know that not all giant cities have strong enough defensive epic buildings or wonders. Most giant cities are basically finished if they are exposed to a super-level magic.

Currently, most of the masters of giant city-level mage towers only master seventh-level magic.

Even spellcasters who have learned eighth-level magic are rare, let alone super-level magic.

At least on the surface, it is difficult to find spellcasters who have mastered ultra-level magic, but it is not ruled out that there are such legendary spellcasters in seclusion.

Therefore, there is no doubt about the preciousness of this page, but whether one can understand magic from it is completely unknown.

According to the prompts in the strategy module, if you want to understand something from the pages of the book, you need at least 1500 points of wisdom attribute and the talent of the divine scroller, plus a deep foundation in spellcasting theory research to have any possibility.

So for Zong Shen, the return rate of this page becomes very low.

Although its potential is great, if it cannot be effectively stimulated and acquired, it will be no different from a blank piece of paper.

Zong Shen could only reluctantly exclude this item with endless potential, but it would be difficult to obtain returns for a long time in the future.

Continuing on, the [Secret Record of Legendary Adventurer Tim Acklin (Special)] made him interested.

This secret record is said to be written in Tim Ackling's original secret script, marking the five largest ruins in his exploration, as well as preliminary exploration notes and maps.

The secret text is easy to solve, and the information here cannot escape the grasp of the strategy module.

And Tim Acklin is a legendary adventurer.

The daughter of Count Marlon Babbitt, Zuoyin Babbitt, who was later recruited (fooled) by Zong Shen to the territory, developed the desire to become an adventurer because she read Tim Acklin's adventure biography.

As a true legendary adventurer, Zong Shen has reason to believe in the authenticity of this secret record. Based on the current excavation of the ruins in the Endless Continent, there is a high probability that the five large ruins in the record should have been preserved.

After all, Tim Ackling did not thoroughly explore these ruins.

The survey and excavation of every large-scale ruins requires a large number of manpower, and some ruins even require the assistance of a legion-level team to fully excavate them.

At present, the ruins developed by Zong Shen are all small and small.

For example, Azshara's underground fortress, he only explored a small part of it.

The real underground fortress ruins extend in all directions, covering the sewer system, mine tunnel system, and mountain bunker system of the giant city of Azshara.

Therefore, choosing to redeem this secret record is equivalent to obtaining the locations of five large-scale ruins.

Originally, Zong Shen wanted to find out directly through trickery.

Unfortunately, the relevant content in the record has not been recorded by the lord system, and the recorded body can only be revealed after being exchanged. Only by decrypting can the specific location of the ruins be known.

The strategy module currently mobilizes only part of the known information.

Under such circumstances, Zong Shen included this record as an option for exchange. Compared with those items that are like castles in the air and difficult to make a profit in the short term, the value of this record is higher!

After deciding on the alternatives, the fifth item is also very strange.

It's just an origami bird.

The name is also very strange——

——[Silent Paper Bird (Special)]

Its origin involves a secret past in prison.

The owner of the paper bird is the only imprisoned god in the Endless Continent, the true god of dreams and illusions, Hypnos, the son of the Night God.

The prison where he was once imprisoned was called the "Tower of Gods", which is a rather arrogant name. According to the clues provided by the strategy module, the paper bird contains part of the power of the gods of dreams and illusions, and there is also something about that prison. Clues to the ruins of the Tower of God.

It is said that the place has been turned into a forbidden area by the gods, and there are methods and secrets that can threaten the gods. If Zong Shen wants to face the gods directly in the future, maybe the things there can be helpful.

But now the gods are just a castle in the air. The Endless Continent has a lord system taking over. Under such circumstances, no gods dare to directly interfere with the development here, so there is no need to consider it in the short term.

Moreover, for the ruins of the "Tower of the Gods" itself, the strategy module can provide additional information. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can skip the paper bird and directly explore the secrets there.

As for the divine power of dreams and illusions, he was not interested either.

If there was some kind of true power such as "the God of Strength" or "the God of Powerful Miracles", he might be slightly interested.

Zong Shen continued to look down, and the sixth item was a paintbrush.

It's about a legendary painter, and the brush is bionic.

That's right, it's "bionic" in the literal sense.

Creatures drawn with this brush can be given life.

But not everyone can achieve the level of "bionic" holding this brush. Even the legendary painter Chifenda is rumored to have only occasionally done it.

It is said that the brush itself is contaminated with rules related to the origin of life.

Analysis based on clues alone seems very vague.

Zong Shen couldn't help but think of the Chinese legend about "Ma Liang, the Magic Pen" before his arrival.

However, he is not interested in this kind of deeply involved but difficult-to-research items. The only person in the territory who has a slight talent for painting is [Wind God Scroller Canigia], but his painting skills are more realistic, not to mention too much. The artistic conception is far from the level of a legendary painter.

If he really exchanged this brush, he might not be able to gain anything even if he spent a lot of hard work, so Zong Shen didn't intend to exchange it.

If he is interested in this in the future, he might as well explore and study the legendary painter Qifanda himself, and he should be able to find relevant clues.
