Chapter 416: Our Rolling Stone Town!
Translator: Lonelytree
[Hint: Defensive Psalm’s ” Breaking the Secret Door ” failed!]
[You need to master a higher level of secret door knowledge!]
Matthew was not surprised.
The Defensive Psalm could only destroy intermediate or lower secret doors, and the portal door in the core of the tree tower was obviously an advanced one.
If it was really that simple.
Spencer would have opened it long ago.
What puzzled him was that the Cloud Ruins were clearly not far from the Inn in the Cloud, and the Cloud Elves had always been known for their powerful flying abilities. Why did they have to build a portal? ” Unless they couldn’t enter the Cloud Ruin through normal means.”
Matthew felt that this deduction was more plausible.
At the same time.
He was also filled with fear and respect for the space behind the portal.
If it was really as Quinna said, and there was a secret treasure vault behind it, why would the cloud elves give it up?
It wasn’t hard to tell from the way Lorraine was arrested in Marsh Water City that the technological strength of the cloud elves had already reached a terrifying level. If they could deal with the sky giants and cyberdragons, they must be a powerful force.
There was a high chance that they wouldn’t give up a valuable ruin on the cloud.
The greater possibility was that the benefits behind this portal had been squeezed dry. Those who opened the door later might not get anything and might even be in danger.
No matter what.
If he wanted to explore the ruins on the clouds, he had to do his homework and make preparations.
” There should be relevant information in the Alliance. Although the Cloud Elves are very powerful, they are still a subordinate force that nominally obeys the management of the Seven Saint Alliance.
“It would be best if I could get to know a few Cloud Elves and ask for more detailed information.”
Matthew was not controlled by greed.
He walked around the tree tower a few times with restraint, studying the magic runes nearby at a moderate pace.
Deciphering the secret door was just a side quest.
He was more interested in how the cloud elves had managed to fix such a huge building in midair.
Matthew did not find any enchantment similar to ” Super Levitation ” on any floor of the tower.
Only at the top of the tree tower.
He sensed traces of a force field spell solidifying.
At that moment, he lit a few more Mage Fires and began to study them with great interest.
The night passed quickly.
During this time, the frogmen went up and down, but they didn’t disturb Matthew.
At a certain moment after dawn.
Matthew dejectedly climbed down from the top of the tree tower core.
“I don’t understand.
“It’s too difficult.”
Matthew had long known that his fundamentals were not solid enough, but he did not expect that deciphering a solidified force field spell would be so taxing.
A night passed.
He could barely decipher the meaning of the bits and pieces.
As for the core content…
It was like he was studying something in a different language!
Forget it. I’m a necromancer who doesn’t need much culture.”
He comforted himself silently.
At this moment.
A somewhat familiar quarrel came from the platform below.
“We should return to the surface! That is the home of the Ogres!”
It was Gezar’s voice.
“Idiot, fate has guided us here. There must be some mission waiting for us to complete. If we leave now, we will definitely regret it many years later.”
Elv was still very fierce when he cursed.
“Alright, alright. I’ll listen to you then.”
Gezar cowered.
“Be good, give me a kiss.”
Elv seemed to know how to control his partner.
Matthew was amused when he heard their voices. This ogre was released by Rheagar last night. Before making this decision, he had also asked Matthew for permission. In the end, the two of them decided to release this two-headed ogre.
Ogres were a classic misunderstood race.
Other than their skin, they looked very similar to Trolls. Even their names were very similar, so most people thought that they were close relatives.
However, ogres and trolls were not related by blood.
Trolls were a type of strange monsters, descendants of ancient earth spirits. Not only were they low in intelligence, but they also did not belong to a civilized race.
Ogres were cursed trolls. They were a highly intelligent race with a once-glorious civilization.
Their tribe had a heritage of civilization.
Matthew had read in a book that before the Age of Enlightenment before the gods ruled over Aindor, the trolls had established an unprecedented empire in the south.
The Ogre tribe was the backbone of the Troll Empire. At that time, they were not called Ogres but Savassin.
Savassin, in the Troll language, meant a wise man.
There were many mages in the Savassin tribe.
It once represented the highest level of magic in the Troll Empire.
However, as the Troll Empire was destroyed by several gods, the Savassin tribe was also cursed by the gods.
They still retained the ability to cast spells, but their intelligence was weakened by the curse.
In the end.
Savassin’s Giant Mages fell into tragedy after tragedy because their intelligence was not high enough to control their innate spellcasting abilities.
Several years later.
The Savassin Mages who wandered the wilderness after their tribe was torn apart was gradually labelled as ” Ogres ‘
Nowadays…
Most of the Ogres had already forgotten about their rich heritage.
They also accepted the identity of an ogre.
They also began to try to eat people.
But to be honest, due to the habits inherited from the Troll Empire, most Ogres had extremely high standards for food..
