Golin's Hammer! Tutu Tutu Tutu Tutu Tutu
Ronan casually fed Dodol III a few Gold Coin, Dodol III chewed with relish, like munching on cookies.
It's clear that this is probably the best-tasting metal it has ever eaten in Ronan's hands.
Ronan let Dodol III taste it, then stopped feeding him. He collected all the Gold Coin on the platform, counted them, and found they numbered to be about 1.3 million. He then threw them all into the Mist Space and put Itai inside to slowly devour them.
Jason was quite interested in the mechanical goat pet that Ronan had taken out of his personal space. He took a few Gold Coin and wanted to come up and tease it, but Dodol III, with his hooves sticking out, quickly scurried down the stone steps from the platform.
"Let's continue."
Jason also called to Ronan to continue exploring downwards.
The narrow, black stone steps spiraled downwards, with a platform at intervals. From their current position, they couldn't see the bottom.
The two followed the stone steps and soon arrived at the second platform, which was slightly larger than the first. The platform was piled with shiny, fist-sized Magic Crystal!
"There must be hundreds of them?!"
Even Ronan was slightly moved when he saw so many Magic Crystal.
He glanced around but didn't see Dodol III, so he probably wasn't interested in the things on this platform and went down further down.
Dodol III possessed a hidden talent for "treasure hunting," which Ronan didn't bother with.
"This time we've really struck it rich!"
With true wealth and status within reach, Jason's performance was much calmer than on the previous platform.
He laughed heartily, strode forward, grabbed a handful of Magic Crystal, and smashed them one by one onto the ground with a "clatter".
A Magic Crystal rolled to Ronan's feet. Ronan picked it up and examined it, finding that the quality of the Magic Crystal was slightly higher than the ones he had obtained from Misha, but not as good as the ones Narros had given him.
If we divide them into three grades—low, medium, and high—like magic stones, then these should all belong to the medium-grade Magic Crystal.
Ronan casually tossed the Magic Crystal back onto the ground, making a soft "clang" sound.
Jason turned to look at him when he heard the voice, Ronan calmly said, "These Magic Crystal are all yours, I don't want any of them."
He has already asked for all the ancient Gold Coin from the previous platform, enough to Itai rank by one level. This gain alone makes this treasure hunt worthwhile.
Moreover, although Ronan also lacks Magic Crystal, he has the Elemental Pool, which can slowly produce Magic Crystal on its own.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Jason shook his head directly, "Half for each of us. Without you, Damien, I wouldn't have been able to get into this treasure."
"Not necessarily."
Ronan's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but recall the Level Five Wizard who had escaped from his grasp.
"Then I'll only take half. You can leave the other half here if you don't want it."
Jason sneered, collected a small portion of the Magic Crystal on the platform, and without even glancing at the rest, walked directly toward the stone steps leading to the next platform.
Ronan frowned slightly, seeing that Jason had indeed gone down to the stone steps, so he could only put the Magic Crystal away.
"I don't want it. Are you trying to turn against me?"
Ronan caught up with Jason and spoke to him, who had a cold expression on his face.
"Certainly."
Jason replied coldly, "Since you don't consider me a friend, why should I consider you a friend?"
Ronan glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "From the moment we met until now, you've never been a match for me. So what makes you so arrogant?"
Jason froze, speechless. "You!."
As they talked, they arrived at the third platform.
The platform was filled with bottles and jars of all sizes, and the air was filled with a faint scent of herbs.
"Splash—"
A gray goat with a large earthenware pot on its head ran out from a pile of pots, running around wildly, completely disoriented.
It looks like its head is stuck in the jar and it can't get it out.
It was poor Dodol III.
"Damien, your goat pet doesn't seem very bright..."
Jason couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw Dodol III's embarrassing situation.
Caught off guard, Dodol III swooped down and landed with a loud thud right in the crotch of Dodor's robe.
Jason's smile Stasis instantly, Ronan turned his head away slightly, feeling a pang of pity.
Freed from the shattered terracotta pot, Dodol III ducked and nimbly dodged Jason's large hand, then darted down the steps.
"Stupid sheep, still running?!"
Jason gritted his teeth and chased after them, but the man and the sheep disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving Ronan alone on the platform.
This platform should be full of Magic Potion Material and the like, but because the goblins don't know how to store them properly, most of the Magic Potion Material have deteriorated or lost their potency over time.
Only a very few jars still contain a small amount of valuable material.
Ronan casually glanced at a few jars, not bothering to examine them all, and emptied the platform before moving on to the next one.
On the way to the next platform, Ronan could initially hear Jason cursing and chasing after him, but soon he could no longer hear anything.
His heart tightened, and he quickly went down the stone steps. Before long, he arrived at a huge platform.
This should be the lowest level of the goblin treasure, and also the last treasure platform.
Various runes rippled, and the light of magical energy intertwined. Gems, crystals, gold, mithril—a dazzling array of things caught Ronan's eye in an instant, causing Ronan to pause slightly and momentarily freeze in shock.
Jason stood in the very center of the platform, gazing at everything around him with a dazed look in his eyes, having long since forgotten Dodol III's recent "chicken attack."
He slowly turned around, looked at Ronan, and said in a low voice, "Damien, this time... you've really struck it rich."
The next second, Jason darted off in one direction, to the spot on the platform where the runes and energy fluctuations were at their peak.
"Magic tools! All of them are magic tools!"
"Tier 4, Tier 5... damn it! They're all Dawn Rank magic items!"
"Hahaha"
It would be a lie for Ronan not to be excited at this moment; he had seen and acquired quite a few treasures along the way.
Such treasures as the Mirror of Emptiness are spatial treasures whose value is immeasurable.
But the sheer number of treasures and the immense wealth presented before one's eyes is truly indescribable, creating a direct and overwhelming sense of shock and awe.
Ronan didn't compete with Jason for a spot in the "magic item area," but instead walked slowly along the platform in a clockwise direction on his own.
He saw that among the scattered Energy Orb, Energy Crystal, and Spell Gem, stood ancient golden statues.
These statues alone are worth several times more than all the ancient Gold Coin he collected on the first platform.
These statues depict human wizards, elves, dwarves, and even dragons.
Each one was so lifelike and exquisite that Ronan even wondered if they were really just statues, rather than living people who had been cursed and turned to gold.
Among them, the most beautiful should be a goblin statue, with a bulging gold package on its back, its whole body covered with gems, shimmering with pearls, and a long line of text engraved on the base of the statue.
"TuTuTuTuTu"
Ronan knew a little ancient goblin language and whispered the words on the base.
It wasn't that he stuttered, but rather that the line of text was simply a repetition of a single syllable.
"If that's the name of this golden goblin."
Ronan shook his head. "Then this name is rather strange."
As he spoke, he habitually glanced past the statue in front of him and continued looking back.
But in the instant his eyes swept over it, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the Golden Goblin Statue in front of him whose eyes flickered.
"Um?!"
Ronan immediately turned around and stared intently into the golden goblin's eyes.
The eyes of the goblin sculpture were also cast in gold, lifeless and devoid of any spirit.
Ronan reached out and touched the statue again. It was cold, hard, and lifeless, confirming that it was indeed a statue.
Was he seeing things? Ronan frowned, thought for a moment, glanced at Jason who was still immersed in ecstasy, and then simply put the golden statue away.
He was convinced he wasn't seeing things, and regardless of whether there was anything strange about it, he put it away first.
After taking two more steps back, Ronan heard a crunching sound.
He frowned as he searched for the source of the sound, and then found Dodol III, his backside sticking out, engrossed in gnawing on something under a pile of glittering gemstone ornaments.
Ronan reached out and grabbed Dodol III's short tail, pulling him up with a jerk.
The creature was dangling in the air, its mouth constantly moving, seemingly chewing something frantically.
Ronan pulled the object from Dodol III's mouth and discovered it was a book, gleaming gold and composed of golden pages.
It was supposed to be quite thick, but now Dodol III has devoured it, leaving only the last two pages.
Ronan picked it up and flipped through it. Of the two remaining pages of the Golden Book, one was badly chewed and covered in Dodol III's saliva, which looked like machine oil. There were some characters on the page that looked like ancient dwarf script, densely packed and incomplete, making them extremely difficult to decipher.
Ronan didn't look closely and turned directly to another complete page. This page didn't have as much dwarven writing; instead, it had a picture.
Calling it a painting isn't quite accurate; upon closer inspection, it looks more like a map.
When Ronan saw what was marked on the map, he suddenly froze, then threw Dodol III and brought the golden pages to his eyes to examine them carefully.
——
A winding route represents the path on the map.
At the end of the road is a high mountain, covered with patterns representing flames. Inside the mountain is a striking octagonal hammer intertwined with lightning and flames!
Beneath the painting, on the golden page, was a line of tiny dwarven script, which Ronan slowly read aloud, word by word. "Golin... Hammer!"
At this moment, some past memories began to churn in my mind, surging rapidly.
The metal monument in the Mechanical Heart Dwarven Civilization Ruins Plaza Schubert's Marvelous Mystery Box, and the Thunder and Fire Hammer, whose whereabouts are unknown to the Mechanical Heart Dwarves! "Could it be the same hammer?!"
Ronan gripped the pages of the book tightly, his eyes flashing rapidly.
He quickly flipped to the previous page, trying to find more information and clues.
However, most of the content on this page ended up in the Dodol III, and the remaining text was obscure and complex, making it difficult for Ronan to understand its specific meaning for the time being.
If the "Golin's Hammer" recorded on these golden pages is indeed the Thunder and Fire Hammer forged in the Dwarven Kingdom of the Mechanical Heart, then the key clues to finding the Thunder and Fire Hammer are hidden in this golden book. He must be furious and regretful to the point of wanting to smash his chest because he couldn't control Dodol III's gluttonous mouth.
"Dodor!"
Thinking of this, Ronan couldn't help but look at Dodol III beside him and called out somewhat irritably.
Dodol III had eaten almost the entire Book of Gold and was now burping contentedly with his little round belly protruding.
Startled by Ronan's sudden shout, he choked and spat something out of his mouth.
It crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
It looks like a "metallic delicacy" that it couldn't digest, and I wonder if it's part of the Golden Book.
