Chapter 1834: One of the goals, get!
From the very beginning, Xia Duo never thought about searching through normal means; in such a large area, if he were to search by himself, who knows how long it would take!
If there were no Chaos Weave or Magic Net Dead Zone, he could have simply come over and used the same spell he used to locate the Golden Page for Xierdalanna to locate the Nether Scroll.
But unfortunately, the current time node is not very convenient; if he wants to save time on positioning, he must first spend time repairing the Magic Net.
Xia Duo certainly did not want to spend too much time in the early stages, which is why he chose to use the Dead Zone to replace the Chaos Weave, allowing him to enter the ruin area quickly and discreetly.
Use the Personal Space to pack up and take away the entire ruin directly.
This was Xia Duo's initial plan, referencing the method of how to put an elephant into a refrigerator; it only takes two steps—enter the ruin area, and pack it away.
Afterwards, whether he finds a normal Magic Net area to set it down and then cast a spell to locate it, or slowly play the mini-game of archaeological excavation inside his Personal Space, he can decide based on his mood.
……
Inside the ruin area.
Xia Duo continuously overlapped and separated his Personal Space with the 【Projection Main Plane】; in this process, various items originally in the 【Projection Main Plane】 all fell into his Personal Space.
As long as Xia Duo does not leave the Astral Plane, these items remain exactly as they were before he collected them; only when he leaves the Astral Plane will they manifest into Reality or dissipate into nothingness according to his will.
Soon, two hours of running and jumping passed; compared to the estimated time, it was slightly short, but Xia Duo had already felt the limits of this avatar.
Looking at the small half of the ruins ahead that had not yet been scavenged, Xia Duo let out a soft breath, and the next moment, the avatar collapsed and dissipated into nothingness.
Then, Xia Duo repeated the previous steps, first creating an avatar in Shaerwen, then sneaking out of the territory, heading to the ruins, and continuing to scavenge.
Finally, in the afterglow of the sunset, Xia Duo completed all the "excavation work."
Although there were some small episodes, no major accidents occurred; after finishing the ruins, Xia Duo did not leave immediately, but came to the outside of the Magic Net Dead Zone and created a large Illusion that completely surrounded the Dead Zone.
Only then did he Clear Traces and fly toward the north.
After flying for a distance, he teleported consecutively, teleporting all the way to the Arctic Bingyuan; yes, Xia Duo was not prepared to wait for even a moment. He did not know when he would return to the Main Plane, so he had to secure the goods as soon as possible.
……
On the ice field.
Xia Duo randomly found an area with relatively flat terrain and released all the ruins he had saved into his Personal Space.
If it were during the day when the light was good, these grey-black ruins would be very conspicuous on the snow-white ice field.
But fortunately, it was already dusk; the afterglow of the setting sun plated the entire earth with a golden edge, and the grey-black ruin fragments were no exception.
It was just that Xia Duo was in no mood to appreciate the sunset scenery; he did not delay for even half a second and immediately cast a spell to locate them.
Not until the spell was completed and he had feedback did Xia Duo feel relaxed in his heart; subsequently, he immediately flew above the target, precisely located it, and collected two ruin fragments about the size of a desk into his Personal Space.
After that, there was no need to operate outside; Xia Duo directly disassembled the ruin fragments inside his Personal Space, and two complete sets of Nether Scrolls, one new and one old, appeared in his Personal Space.
Of course, new and old were only judged by the signs of use on the surface of the Golden Pages; in reality, after being taken out of the Personal Space, there was no difference in the strength or completeness of their Magic Aura.
From this, it can be seen that the Nether Scroll is indeed an extremely powerful (or "high-end" would be more accurate) Magic Item, but at the same time, the fact that there are signs of use also indicates that its material itself may not be sturdy.
"Finally got it!"
Under the setting sun, Xia Duo looked at the two complete sets of Nether Scrolls in his hands; the feeling of anxiety he had before possessing them was gone, and his state of mind suddenly became peaceful.
And in the Main Plane, he had already obtained the qualifications to legally hold and display the Nether Scroll; as long as he wasn't foolish enough to display the entire set at once, no matter how he used it, it would not arouse suspicion from others.
Putting away the treasures, Xia Duo once again created a Perception Field that moved with his line of sight; at present, this ruin had only "unearthed" the Nether Scroll, perhaps there were other treasures waiting for his discovery!
Now, with the Nether Scroll as a guarantee, Xia Duo's mood was truly incredibly relaxed, treating it as compensation for his previous tense emotions.
He flew slowly over the ruins bit by bit, occasionally collecting a few fragments from below; every time he collected one, it meant he had found another Magic Item.
Since Xilin's Saint Form avatar did not need to sleep, Xia Duo simply stayed on the ice field and searched slowly.
Come to think of it, this was probably the time Xia Duo had the biggest harvest from excavating ruins; not to mention the Nether Scroll, the other Magic Items discovered already exceeded two hundred, and this was only after searching half of the ruins.
If his luck is not bad for the other half, he should be able to harvest about the same amount.
Besides that, at the original site of the ruins, he had only "dug" about half a person's height below the ground; in reality, if there were some deeper underground treasure chambers, perhaps there could be some more gains.
It's just that the uncertainty of this kind of search is too high, and this is the Projection Plane; if they are not manifested when leaving, it will all be for nothing.
Xia Duo is not sure how much "memory" of the Personal Space it takes to manifest a set of Nether Scrolls; as long as they are not some extremely rare and uncopyable special items, he will not include them in the manifestation list.
At the current stage, there is only one item on his manifestation list when he returns, and that is the Nether Scroll.
As for the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll, the information carrier is indeed a bit special, but there is no such thing as it being uncopyable; Xia Duo only needs to bring back the information recorded in it, there is no need to manifest the specific physical secret scroll itself.
……
After nearly midnight, Xia Duo had combed through the entire ruin, finding nearly five hundred Magic Items of various kinds!
Later, thinking that he might need money or some material resources for his upcoming research on the Mythallar in Evereska, he also collected a large amount of coins, Gemstones, gold, and Mithril, which conservatively estimated could be worth nearly ten million!
Anyway, they wouldn't be manifested back, so he didn't feel bad about using them freely; it was just a bit troublesome when collecting them.
"If only this ruin were in the Main Plane!"
With such a large harvest, Xia Duo was inevitably a bit greedy, but he also knew that this ruin in the Main Plane had long been scavenged clean by others and would never wait for him to discover it.
"Sigh—it's time to go to Evereska; I hope those Elders won't make me mess up!"
