Artificer Adventure Guide

At noon, Carl and his group stopped at a relatively safe place.

Hope, Shadow and Scorpion prepared lunch, while Carl took out the Eberron dragon crystals to make some small gadgets.

He was a little hasty when collecting them before, but now after a closer look, Carl found a problem.

"Why do these dragon crystals look the same?"

As we all know, naturally grown things, especially multifaceted crystal minerals, often have a long appearance.

In addition to the same ingredients, even if the raw ore grows on the same ore, the shape is likely to be different.

But these in Carl's hand are not like this. They are so standard that they seem to be processed on an assembly line.

And even the brightness and color of the dragon crystals are similar.

If it weren't for the unique reaction of dragon crystals when holding them, Carl would have suspected whether this thing was the latest work of a counterfeiting master.

But...

Looking up at Hope who was cooking, Carl walked over with two pieces of dragon crystals.

"Are you sure you have handed over the mushrooms we brought back from the dungeon to the Druid Academy?"

When they were in the dungeon, Carl and Hope used those mushrooms to extract artificial Eberron dragon crystals.

Although this kind of dragon crystal is very similar to normal dragon crystals, its energy utilization rate is not as good as the genuine ones.

But this is at least a way to solve the problem, so after the two returned to Eruden, they handed it over to the Druid.

Carl did leave some for his master, but Mooreban, like Carl, is a mechanical expert and doesn't know much about alchemy.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

After cutting the meat in his hand, Hope put down the knife, not understanding why Carl asked this question so seriously.

"Look at this..."

Handing two pieces of almost identical dragon crystals to Hope, Carl looked at him expectantly.

Hope took the two pieces of dragon crystals without knowing why, and found the problem after careful comparison.

Recalling Carl's question, Hope replied, "It does look like artificial dragon crystal, and it seems to be mixed with something else."

Relying on her excellent perception, Hope stroked the dragon crystal and noticed that something was wrong with it.

But she couldn't tell what was wrong for the time being.

"Forget it, let's put it away for now. These dragon crystals won't be used for the time being, so as to avoid any problems."

Seeing that Hope had been frowning and thinking, Carl didn't want Hope to rack his brains, so he took back the dragon crystal and planned to talk about it later.

After a while, lunch was ready. Carl and his friends had a good meal and then planned to continue exploring.

But before they rode through a few areas, the group of people had stomach problems one after another.

Fortunately, Carl's micro-construct was very convenient to operate, and it was not a problem to build 5 toilets together.

After finding a relatively safe area, the five people squatted in their respective toilets for two hours before coming out.

After finally leaving the toilet, Carl looked at Hope who was waiting outside and said in a slightly weak voice:

"Where did you buy the ingredients for lunch today? Don't go to his store in the future!"

However, Hope seemed to be possessed by a detective at this time, and he instantly realized that something was wrong.

"No! Carl, the problem is probably not the ingredients, but the dragon crystals. I just tried to release the secondary recovery spell on myself, and I have recovered now."

Hearing this, Carl doubtfully used a secondary recovery spell on himself.

The pain in his abdomen that was like a churning sea of ​​​​seas disappeared immediately, as if it had never happened.

"The guy who made these artificial dragon crystals has nothing to do?"

...

"How can there be nothing to do? When we return to Storm Bay, each of us brothers will hug a drow elf, no! Hug two!"

In a certain area of ​​​​Xin'drik, the members of the adventure group who had taken some of the artificial dragon crystals before were looking forward to a bright future.

However, at this moment, one of the members of the adventure group suddenly covered his stomach and ran to the front.

"Captain, I feel sick in the stomach. Wait for me, I'll go take care of it!"

"Tsk! We're about to return to Storm Bay. Why are you so upset? Hurry up, brothers have important things to do!"

Waving his hand in disdain, the team leader, who is now the biggest "leader" of the adventure group, impatiently agreed.

The team immediately dispersed and stood guard, waiting for the colleague to finish.

But not long after, several people also came to the team leader with their stomachs covered to ask for leave.

"You feel itchy when you see others go to the toilet, right? Hurry up!"

In this way, the itinerary of the entire adventure group was delayed again and again.

In the end, even the captain who was in charge of managing the team joined them.

Everyone thought they were poisoned by some kind of poison, so they started to drink the antidote.

But the situation did not get better.

Helplessly, for the sake of their lives and the wealth that was already in sight, everyone gritted their teeth and moved forward, and finally returned to Storm Bay before the entire team was about to be reduced in number.

They were reluctant to ask a priest for treatment, but fortunately there were many magicians in Storm Bay, and magicians in the medical industry were a popular profession.

So, these people sold some dragon crystals and planned to treat the diseases of the whole group.

…

Just when the problematic dragon crystals had already flowed into the market, Carl and his party finally arrived at another giant ruins.

However, compared with the one they explored before, this ruins seemed much more dilapidated.

Because of its geographical location, this ruins seemed to have fallen into the hands of the elven rebels.

All the valuable things inside it have been emptied, and later adventurers have dug the ground three feet deep to search for countless times, and there is no oil and water to be made.

However, although the monetary value is gone, it still has a certain archaeological value.

The broken murals left by the stone giants here were not collected by anyone, so they were left like this.

"The constructs and tower spirits responsible for maintaining this place have all been destroyed. It's really not easy for these murals to be preserved to this extent."

Walking inside the dim ruins, Carl looked at the murals on both sides of the corridor and sighed at the power of time.

Some small beasts fled with the arrival of the five-man team. In this unattended ruins, the huge passage and dim environment have long become a shelter for many small animals.

Those large beasts disdain to live here. Their strong bodies make them prefer to live in an open-air environment because there is a wide view.

Carrying lighting equipment and video equipment, Carl walked and filmed all the way, and finally arrived at the central area of ​​the ruins.

The device carrying the tower spirit had long been dismantled, and even the metal used to fix the device was taken away and melted into weapons or other things.

However, there were still many giant runes left on the walls around, which made Carl take another fierce photo.

"Let's camp here tonight. There is only one exit here. As long as we block it, we don't have to worry about safety issues."

Because he wanted to directly decipher the meaning of those runes, Carl planned to stay here tonight.

Humans and any other races have less than half of the mastery of giant runes, even the giants themselves.

Today's giants either live in Xen'drik in a stupid and uncivilized state, or speak fluent dwarven language and move around Khorvaire.

There may still be some frost giants in the Antarctic and the Arctic, but most of them are descendants of giant criminals during the Giant King period, and their cultural level may not be very high.

In fact, if the giant runes were only used as text for recording, they would have already had clear translation tables and specific meanings. Carl's language selection was just learning these.

But as runes, they may represent more than just the meaning in the textbook.

For example, the Chinese character "Liu".

This character now mainly appears in the form of a surname, but in early texts, it represents a person holding an axe, or even "killing".

And if you want to release the rune as a carrier of spells, you need to understand its meaning.

In the evening, after the group finished dinner, Carl and Bane set up a tent.

The tent was extremely large, and Carl also brought a portable mattress, so that even in the wild, the comfort was very guaranteed.

After installing the devices with constant alarm spells around the tent, Carl set their alarm types and went to bed with Hope and Shadow.

Of course, the translation had to be done in the dream world, after all, the speed and convenience of the dream world were far superior to reality.

As Carl fell asleep, his spiritual energy began to spread naturally around, and the situation within a certain range around him was synchronized to Carl in the dream.

It was as if there was an extra slow monitoring display screen next to Carl.

This approach slightly reduced Carl's sleep quality, but the safety was beyond doubt.

About two hours later in the outside world, Carl completed the preliminary interpretation of the surrounding giant runes.

The runes narrated a poem-like article. It was hard to imagine that the giants would express their feelings in this romantic form.

Carl even suspected that the original owner of this relic might be a bard among the giants.

"Well, this paragraph is similar to 'Mountains and rivers are so dense that there seems to be no way out, but there is another village after the dark willows and flowers'. It turned out that I was right to choose Giant Language as an elective."

After flicking the manuscript paper in the dream lightly, Carl was about to finish the translation, but suddenly received a mental alarm from the alarm device.

Carl opened his eyes as the psychic energy surged.

Ying, who was standing next to him, also woke up because of the fluctuation of psychic energy. The two looked at each other and then tiptoed out of the bed.

However, when the two went out, they found that it was a mouse that triggered the alarm!

"Did you forget to set the size detection of the alarm spell?"

Ying killed the mouse with a dart, and looked at Carl suspiciously.

"Hiss~, it seems that I did forget, but this place is built with the transformation rock spell, where did the mouse hole come from?"

After looking at each other, Carl and Ying suddenly became interested.

Turning on the psychic energy, the two of them circled around this core area.
