Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 591 Poetry
This trip, which should not have been troublesome, turned out to be far beyond our expectations and was actually very troublesome.

Originally, Orday thought that the size of the ruins would be similar to the last time. Even if it couldn't be done in one day, two days would be enough to get back the Demon King's Ring.

Facts have proved that plans cannot keep up with changes. No one could have imagined that the exaggeration of this relic had far exceeded expectations. Even experienced adventurers would have to say "Wow".

What's even more fucked up is that, because they're deep underground, due to the radiation from the buried ground, Oldey can't open the portal to return, which means his retreat is cut off.

Even so, Oldie still charged forward stubbornly. On the one hand, it was because of her strong desire for knowledge and curiosity. On the other hand, she felt that in the worst case scenario, Li Chengxi would help her out.

——She was still as rude as ever.

Speaking of portals, when passing through the crystal channel before, I saw that the Glow Ion Yin Order had temporarily built a huge portal. At that time, Alde thought they were simply calling for reinforcements, but she didn't expect that they actually called for a magic ship.

The snail-shell ship of the illithid is a type of magic ship. In addition to being able to fly, the minimum standard for a magic ship is that it must be able to sail in the void.

In other words, this thing is basically a space battleship.

The cost is of course so exaggerated that it gives people a headache. What’s more troublesome is that how to build it is a big problem.

Alde had a very strong desire to take a trip on the magic ship.

So she is such an expert at courting death that she was thinking about these things even in her dreams while in a coma.

"Ms. Alday, wake up, are you okay?"

Someone patted Oldie on the face several times, which suddenly woke her up and she saw Zora looking at her with concern.

Just as she was about to speak, Aldea immediately turned around and spat out a large mouthful of water.

Now the water in the lungs was completely drained, but Oldie felt pain all over her body and couldn't get up.

"Where are we? Where's Nemea?"

"She's nearby."

Zora pointed to the right. At the edge of Olde's vision, he could vaguely see Nimya's tiefling horns. She was probably still dizzy.

"As for where we are...it's hard to say."

Zora helped Oldie up, and the three of them were now on the beach by the sea, but apart from them, there was no one around.

"Were we rushed up here?"

"Although I didn't see it, it should be the Lord who sent us to the shore."

Zora had just woken up, but after all, she had been a warrior and her physical abilities far exceeded those of the mage Orday, so she was the first to wake up.

Pointing to the crystal boat stranded on the beach not far away, there were several deep grooves under the bottom of the boat. Alday knew at a glance that these must be the traces left by Li Chengxi grabbing the crystal boat with his hands and dragging it to the shore, and finally pulling his hands away after putting the boat on the beach.

The reason why Aurday dared to be so stubborn was because she knew that Li Chengxi must be watching.

After taking out the water bag from the magic bag and drinking some water, Aurday felt much better. She slowly stood up and looked towards the other side of the beach.

At first glance, all you can see is black, like a series of mountains alternating across the landscape, but at the end of the mountains, there is something that seems to be glowing, which is very eye-catching.

If you look closely, you can vaguely see something like a castle behind the mountains. It is the light it emits that pierces the darkness.

Since there was no map and no idea how big the ruins were, Zora only felt that he might have reached the bottom and could not see any more information.

But when Alde saw the glowing castle, she suddenly became a little excited. "I walked through the labyrinth of the betrayer, I passed through the tombstones of the dwarves, I entered the sea of ​​​​the elves, I saw countless high mountains, and I found the lost castle!"

I don't know what Oldie is suddenly saying, but I can see that she is getting more and more excited the more she says:
"The stars are above, but they are underground. The long river is on the left, but it is in the sky. At the end of the river, at the end of the starry sky, the elves' fortress will forever protect the tyrant's secrets!"

"Miss Olday, what are you talking about?"

“Poetry.”

Aldo turned around and said to Zora:
"This is an excerpt from a poem in a collection written in the mythological era."

This collection of poems was bought by Oldie from the White Hand Society on purpose. Because it was out of print, only the most well-informed White Hand Society could find it. Even the Academic City did not have any books from the Mythology Age. (See Chapter 391 for details)
"The apostle stole the Demon King's Ring, which was such a big event, but there was no written record left. I have always suspected that someone deliberately erased that history, but the remaining records in the poem are too vague to be understood, but!"

Orday pointed to the castle in the distance:
“But the poem is right!”

"Um...what did you want to say?"

"I mean, we found it!"

Amid Aurora's excited voice, Nimya also slightly opened her eyes and woke up. Then she heard Aurora say in a voice that was forcibly suppressing her excitement:
"We found it, the Demon King's Ring is right there!"

–‐‐——–‐‐——

There is an idiom "chasing shadows" which is used to describe something that has no factual basis.

But the prerequisite for catching wind and shadows is that you have to have both wind and shadows.

Poetry is something that is recorded in a very vague and freehand manner. Just by reading the poem, it is difficult to accurately determine what it is describing.

But perhaps it was precisely because of the ambiguity of the poem that it escaped the risk of being erased, leaving behind a few clues to point the way for those who are looking for the Demon King's Ring in modern times.

Just reading the poems is very confusing. What about the dwarves' tombstones, the elves' sea, and how the stars are underground? It's all a mess.

But if you think carefully about the journey that Olde and the others took, they first passed through the gate and maze built by the traitors, then the ruins of the dwarves, and then entered the sea that was obviously built by the elves for entertainment.

This matches the poem exactly, without a single mistake.

And the last sentence, the elves' fortress will always guard the tyrant's secrets.

Obviously, that is telling you that the Demon King's Ring is in the castle in the distance.

Because the ruins were so huge, Olde almost lost confidence in finding the Demon King's Ring. After all, looking for a ring in such a place without any guidance was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But now, even Olde, who had remained sane and always thought rationally, had to admit that fate had completed its amazing coincidence at this moment.

If the poem is used as a clue, what they need to do now is not to go directly over the mountains and over the hills to the castle at the end of the sight, but to find the "long river" mentioned in the poem first.

Follow this river to the end, and you will naturally reach the castle where the Demon King's Ring is stored.

This should be the closest and easiest way to go.

But Li Chengxi, who was watching all this on the other side of the screen, couldn't help but hold his forehead.

I know you're excited, but don't get excited yet.

Let's take a break before we go...
