"A relic, a relic from ancient times."

Jialuo Qingyu whispered, he didn't know whether the people in front of him would believe his words, because the relics of the ancient era were too rare, and Saint Ruiz modified the laws of heaven and earth, making most creatures from the ancient era ineligible.

Leave traces behind.

The ruins before St. Ruiz were basically destroyed.

"ancient time?"

Balliard frowned. He felt a little pain in his head when he heard the words Ancient Era. Ancient Era, and it was a ruin that only appeared after Brand entered the Freljord. In addition, Gallo

Those charred corpses covered in snow near Qingyu, no matter how you look at them, these ruins are related to Brand.

"How did you learn about this ruins? Don't tell me about family traditions. There are not many documents handed down from ancient times, let alone documents about the Freljord."

"Well...well...actually...it's a family inheritance."

Jialuo Qingyu spoke intermittently, as if his lie had been exposed, and as if he didn't know how to explain it.

"What kind of family tradition?"

Balliard asked. He didn't believe in any family traditions, and he didn't really believe what Garo Qingyu said. This guy was famous for telling lies. Even the eldest lady of Demacia was deceived by his sweet words.

Already.

"Well, my father is also an explorer. He has been here before. At that time, the seal of the ruins was still very strong. My father could not break through the seal, so he left a record in the biography."

Jialuo Qingyu scratched the back of his head, feeling slightly embarrassed.

"This year I happened to be allowed to go out on my own to explore, so... this ruins that my father had not successfully inspected became my first choice."

"First expedition? That was really bad luck. If you hadn't met me, you would have died a violent death on this first expedition. Let's go and see the ruins."

Balliard somewhat believed what Jialuo Qingyu said. Even if Jialuo Qingyu did not explore for the first time, it would not be more than five or six times. Otherwise, Jialuo Qingyu would not have become a transcendent.

"Still going? There's——"

"A demon who controls fire, right? He should be gone by now."

Balliard smiled, and Jialuo Qingyu shuddered.

"How do you know? Because of those corpses? You dug through the snow to look at those corpses?"

Jialuo Qingyu was very surprised. According to his common sense, that kind of flame monster should not exist in this world at all. There is no reason that the person in front of him would know that thing.

"That was Brand, Ryze's apprentice. He had a glimpse of the power of the taboo, and was eventually swallowed by the power of the taboo. He became the carrier of power, while his own soul was left with only the residue."

Valliard explained to Gallo Qingyu that this was a talent worth attracting, and he might be able to enter Salvadion in the future.

"Is it that legendary demon? He actually exists? Then this ruins..."

"It may be a place where he recuperates. He only needs things useful for his recovery. There may be some treasures inside."

Balliard looked at Gallo Qingyu's hands. There were no gloves or anything like that, so he probably hadn't encountered them yet.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."

…

"It's just around here, we didn't

Before I could escape far, the monster's flames came."

Gallo Qingyu took Valyard to the place where he was unconscious at the time.

"...Found it, let's go."

Several burrowing beasts with only bones appeared next to Balliard, and they were digging according to Balliard's wishes.

"Have you been in there before?"

"Not long after we entered, we met the monster."

Gallo Qingyu and Balliard advanced in the ruins. This ruins is a naturally formed Zhenbing cave. The entrance of the cave is a Zhenbing gate. This gate cannot be opened by humans, but now, it is open.

"Are those corpses in front of you your companions?"

Balliard knew it, and the corpses were also charred black, which fully reflected Brand's cruelty. Normally, it would not take such a big fire to burn people to death, but Brand used it to burn these people.

The idea of ​​burning to ashes.

Those charred corpses were only frozen by the cold air of Zhenbing, otherwise, they would have been covered in black ash.

"Well, it was them. They stayed behind, but Brand soon chased them out."

Jialuo Qingyu walked up, took out a small bottle, knocked the bodies of those people into ashes, and put them inside.

"The bottle is nice, where did it come from?"

Valliard saw the bottle and the bodies of three or four people. Although they were just ashes, they couldn't be put in a small bottle.

"It's a family heirloom, a treasure brought by our ancestors from a certain ruins. The space inside can probably fit a small house. I have always used this bottle to pack daily necessities. I didn't expect that this time, it would contain ashes."

Jialuo Qingyu doesn't have deep feelings for these people. Most of them are hired by him, and their business is life and death. But if Jialuo Qingyu wants to watch these people buried in a foreign land, he can't do it.

.

Even if he doesn't know where their hometown is, Jialuo Qingyu will bring the ashes of these people back to the empire. That can be regarded as a fallen leaf returning to its roots.

"Does your family have any information about this ruins? Look at the surrounding decorations."

Balliard had never seen these things. Although he knew a lot of things, they were basically dictated to him by Karl. Even if Karl mentioned certain features of buildings or sculptures, it would be difficult for him to restore them.

"...This is telling a story. The legendary Frost Witch used Zhenbing to forge an artifact. This artifact was used to suppress the fire veins of underground riots."

"Fire Vein? You are pretty lucky. You can take that artifact away. As for the Fire Vein, it should be absorbed by Brand and there is no need to suppress it."

Only then did Balliard know why there had been no news from Brand for so long. It turned out that he had come to this place to absorb the underground fire veins. The fire veins that could be suppressed by the Frost Witch forging artifacts contained a lot of flame energy.

Although Brand had just fought Anivia, he absorbed the energy of the fire veins and his injuries improved greatly. His condition may be better than before the fight with Anivia.

"Give it to me? I...I...can it really be done?"

Jialuo Qingyu was greatly stimulated. Not just anyone can hold an artifact. Holding an artifact by someone who is not qualified will only bring disaster to themselves.

Of course, being able to come into contact with the artifact is a highlight in Jialuo Qingyu's adventure career.

"Of course, that is the most suitable artifact for you."

Balliard has already discovered the location of the artifact and knows what it is - the Ice Vein Gloves, an artifact that can speed up spellcasting and freeze the enemy.

His shadow was not blocked in this ruins. It can be said that he was so lucky this time.

This ruins has an excellent defense system, with various traps emerging one after another, and there are even warcraft from ancient times guarding the ruins, but everything has lost its meaning.

Because the protection system of this ruins is driven by the energy of the fire veins. While using the Ice Vein Gloves to suppress the violent fire veins, the energy of the fire veins is continuously supplied to the ruins, allowing the various mechanisms in it to operate perfectly.

.

It can be said that this is an approach that treats both the symptoms and the root cause. Even if Brand does not absorb the fire vein, there is no possibility of the fire vein rioting, and one day it will even completely consume all its energy.

"suit me?"

Is the artifact suitable for me? What Jialuo Qingyu heard at this moment was this. It was not that he was suitable for using the artifact, but that this artifact was suitable for him.

"That's right, go quickly."

Balliard vaguely felt something was wrong. The atmosphere of this ruins was a bit heavy. The place where Brand stayed should give people an atmosphere of anger and impulsiveness.

Did the demigods sent by Kyle communicate with Brand here? If so, it would not be surprising to see such an atmosphere. After all, Kyle and the others are very light.

Gallo Qingyu was running around in front, and Balliard followed behind. He knew where the gloves were, but he couldn't tell Gallo Qingyu. Anyway, he was not in a hurry, which would extinguish an explorer's joy of exploring.

, but it is something that cannot be forgiven.

About half an hour later, Jialuo Qingyu found the altar with the Ice Vein Gloves. There were many patterns on the altar. The purpose of these patterns was to draw out the power of the Ice Vein Gloves to suppress the Fire Vein.

But without the energy of the fire veins, the power of the ice was raging, and three meters of solid ice condensed around the altar.

"Pretty solid."

Jialuo Qingyu knocked on the ice, the sound was very clear, and a layer of frost had already condensed on his fist.

"I said, brother, can you help me break this ice? If I do it myself, it will probably turn into ice cubes."

"……Fine."

Baliard should not be surprised by this. The most shameless people in Rune Land are Baliard and Garo Qingyu.

He shouldn't have any illusions, thinking that Gallo Qingyu will show his ability to take out the Ice Vein Gloves. Like Valyard, he is the kind of person who can let others do something, but he will never do anything himself and make others suffer.

, a person who will never suffer the consequences himself.

Although Balliard didn't want to get involved in this matter, who made his organization lack talents? This is a talent that has the chance to become a demigod, so he can't miss it. This time of help can be considered an investment.

Balliard took out the dilapidation and cut it on the solid ice, just like cutting tofu with a kitchen knife, without any hindrance. Soon, all the solid ice shattered on the ground.

"Go and get it. There is a test for possessing the artifact. If I pass the test, it will be none of your business."
