Chapter 365: The Dry Marissa Spring (1)

"Lord Algeta, please tell us."

While Algeta was lost in thought, Angelica grabbed her arm and pleaded.

"Alright, alright~"

Aljeta shook off Angelica's arms with a look of disgust.

"Do you know why the black dragon attacked the sacred paradise on the Black Mountain?"

"Because the ancient people who created it built their manufacturing laboratory inside the Black Mountains."

"After the ancients disappeared, the black dragon broke the ancients' seal."

"And now that the Black Dragon has gained freedom, how could he allow himself to fall back into the same situation as before?"

"That's why it attacked the area around Black Mountain so frantically, destroying places related to ancient ruins first."

"And Holy Heaven is a city built on the ruins of ancient people."

"Otherwise, how do you think the royal family got the airship technology?"

"And your success in using the device from the ancient ruins to charge the levitation device was due to this factor."

This time, Aljeta did not deliberately make trouble for Chief Qiu and the others, but directly pointed out the key points.

After hearing this, Qiu and his companions understood why only a few ancient artifacts remained outside of Weldon Haru, where they had previously visited. The ancient ruins there had been largely destroyed by the Black Dragon. Meanwhile, the Kaidra checkpoint, which also contained ancient artifacts, was remarkably intact.

"According to what you said, Master Aljeta, the item needed to destroy the Black Dragon's lair is inside some ancient ruins in the Black Mountains?"

"Yes, I can also tell you exactly where the ruins are located."

"Do you remember where we met last time?"

"Weldon Haru?"

"Go deeper inside."

"Before, you only reached the outer areas at most."

The two women asked and answered questions, and soon the surrounding enemy chiefs knew the approximate location.

"Looking at it this way, it should be near the dried-up Marisa Spring."

Angelica had learned about the area after visiting Weldon Haru earlier, and according to Algerta, Angelica had figured out where it might be.

"Lord Aljeta, since the ancient ruins have been destroyed and only some of the devices remain."

"Then could it be that the relevant devices that were once preserved have already been destroyed?"

"What you are thinking about is bound to happen."

Aljeta nodded, agreeing with Angelica's opinion.

"But you don't have to worry."

"That thing might have been broken into many pieces due to the black dragon's attack."

“But those things that are dispersed will not disappear.”

"So, as long as I find all the fragments, I can restore them to their original functional items."

Aljeta did not let Chief Qiu and others who were listening to the news nearby worry, and directly told them the solution to the problem.

"Master Aljeta, this isn't the end of the story. Please stop hiding it."

"Hey, so-and-so, bring me the necklace I lent you last time."

After hearing this, Qiu Qiu immediately realized what was going on. With a hint of embarrassment, he handed the silver dragon necklace he had been holding to Aljeta.

"With this, the holder can sense a special power."

"When the time comes, the owner can just follow their senses and dig the item out."

"Otherwise, even if you dig a few meters into that area, you still won't find any fragments."

Similar to last time, Aljeta infused the necklace with special powers. After she was done, she threw it back into the hands of the enemy chief.

"How do you use this thing?"

When the things were back in his hands, Chief Qiu was confused.

"Just like before, just put it in your hand."

"Similarly, this power is limited in time."

"Okay, let's get going quickly."

After Aljeta explained the situation to the enemy chief, he impatiently drove away the enemy chief and his group.

After Chief Qiu and his men walked away, Gerald looked at Aljeta with a puzzled look.

"How does this thing grant special abilities?"

"The Black Dragon's Lair barrier is actually a sub-authority granted to this creation by the ancients using the authority granted by the goddess."

"Similarly, to break this barrier, a special item with certain permissions is required."

"And I simply used the authority I had access to add a temporary permission to that item, allowing the holder to experience a special item similar to this one."

"Unfortunately, all my strength and authority are now used on that matter."

"Otherwise, this nest barrier can be broken with my own authority."

Although Algerta was explaining this to Gerald, her thoughts drifted to an old friend who had passed away. After all, it was that ancient friend who had taught them this kind of authority. As special beings similar to the ancients, they possessed special powers granted by the goddess, or rather, authority wielded by the gods.

Meanwhile, Chief Qiu and his men returned to the barracks and briefed General Douglas on what had happened. They were also told to temporarily leave the army to search for items that could break the barrier and rescue the prophet.

At this time, the Black Dragon's barrier not only prohibited outsiders from entering, but also prevented the monsters inside from appearing. During this period, scouts were stationed in other places and tested the above results.

Although the fighting had been temporarily halted, Douglas still deployed personnel to defend within a certain range to prevent any unexpected situations. Meanwhile, relevant information about the battle was also transmitted to the Holy Heaven.

While the army enjoyed a moment of peace, Chief Qiu's men were in for a tough time. While they hadn't expended much energy in the previous battle, and even unexpectedly gained a level with the deaths of three high-level monsters, they still had to keep on marching. To reach their destination, they would inevitably face a lengthy battle.

As the sun set and the moon rose, Chief Qiu and his group came to Weldon Haru again.

This time, they didn't go to the place where the gargoyles were. Instead, they found another path and went deeper into the village.

As a former human village, the emergence of this gathering place is also inseparable from water.

Unlike most villages built near streams, this village's water source is a fountain, the same Marissa Spring Angelica mentioned earlier.

This fountain was recorded separately because it had no water source, yet it could continuously spray enough water for people to live. Later, scholars discovered that it was a special structure built by ancient people.

The magicians also found inspiration from this fountain and built a similar small fountain in the Holy Paradise, located in front of the giant goddess statue in the Holy Paradise.

It was precisely because of a small special circumstance that this place was recorded as a separate regional name. And this place was not named by the original scholars, but by the magician who imitated a similar fountain.

Sadly, just like the magician named Marissa, she's long since passed away. This fountain also dried up when the strange changes occurred in the village. This was one of the reasons why the villagers were willing to leave their home in the first place.
