My front door leads to a comic strip

The northwest corner of the stone chamber.

What comes into view is a gray wall covered with all sorts of things.

Gu Yuan squinted, approached and examined it carefully, but did not rashly reach out to touch it.

Over the course of a thousand years, images of objects crumbled into sand flashed through my mind.

"Let me see...bows and arrows, stone spears..."

He muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping over the items, then suddenly stopped.

"Speaking of magical artifacts, did they exist in the mythological era? Hmm, it seems they did. That control stone ring is an artifact from the mythological era..."

Dominate the Stone Rings – from the Golden Country arc of the manga.

In the story, it is regarded as the only magical artifact that can control the minds of demons, and it was once used on Mahat, one of the Seven Sages of the Demon Clan.

Although it was later proven to be useless to the demons, since the demons were heartless, it still serves as evidence of its ancient history.

It was a masterpiece created by the great sage Evisch of the mythical age.

Evish... and the sage who left behind the stone chamber...

Given that the two lived in such close times, what connection could they possibly have?

Gu Yuan frowned slightly, deep in thought, when he heard light footsteps behind him.

After examining the skeleton, Sangfu strode over, her hands behind her back, her tone full of excitement and curiosity:

"Hey, human, how much longer are you going to stand here? Isn't your goal magic? Then what about the magical artifacts here...?"

She really wanted to buy it with money, or at worst, exchange it for magic.

In any case, in her eyes, Gu Yuan would never have the chance to come into contact with his master in his life, so it was impossible for him to be exposed.

However, before he could finish speaking, Gu Yuan suddenly came to his senses: "What's wrong with the magical artifacts here?"

I almost forgot, right now there's a guy who's lived for hundreds of years and might know about the past of sages right beside me.

Sanf's expression froze instantly. Oh no, she had momentarily forgotten that magic was only of interest to Miliald.

The fact that humans cannot contact their masters does not mean that elves cannot...

Her eyes darted around, and she stammered:

"No...it's nothing. I just wanted to tell you that these are all old objects from a thousand years ago, and some of them may no longer be usable."

In a moment of inspiration, she tried to make her tone sound more natural:

"I want to take those that are truly unusable. To be honest, one of my senior sisters is an expert in repairing and restoring magical artifacts."

After all, elves have long lifespans, and they can easily spend hundreds of years mastering a skill and achieve something.

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, the probing look in his eyes fading somewhat: "I see."

I thought she was going to say something important, and that she was just taking away some unusable junk.

If it can truly be repaired, there will be a bond between us when we meet again in the future.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the objects on the wall again, pondered for a moment, and slowly spoke:

"Can you tell which ones are unusable?"

"Um!"

Sangfu immediately perked up, took a step forward with a cheerful voice, and quickly began to examine the situation based on her hundreds of years of life experience.

A short while later, she stretched out her fingers, used her magic to wrap and remove the objects on the wall one by one.

"This is unusable; the wood core inside is completely rotten and will crumble at the slightest touch."

She pointed to a wand wrapped in torn cloth.

Gu Yuan nodded.

It's already remarkable that wood has survived for a thousand years; decay is to be expected.

but……

His gaze swept over a slingshot and a bow and arrow next to the wand, and his eyes became more attentive.

They looked surprisingly intact.

"What about these?"

Sangfu rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment:

"Same here, both look intact. But this slingshot is alright, since it's made of stone, the material is a bit special. I can't tell what it's good for yet."

She reached out and gently stroked the slingshot, raising her eyebrows.

It feels icy cold to the touch, unlike normal stone, more like... metal?

"etc……"

She suddenly opened her eyes wide and her fingers recoiled as if she had been electrocuted.

The minuscule loss during the infusion of magic made her instantly understand the material of the metal, and her voice rose several octaves:

"This is mithril, and not just ordinary mithril, it's been enchanted!"

Mithril is the second hardest metal in the world, and it's something Sunfu never expected that someone would forge it into the shape of a slingshot.

That's such a waste.

Gu Yuan was not very familiar with the status of mithril in this world, so he seemed indifferent.

But he became interested in the word "magic".

Magic related to shooting? Could it be...?

He bent down and took the slingshot from Sangfu's hand. The rope on it had long since rotted into a grayish-black color. With a gentle tug, it crumbled into powder and fell to the ground.

Gu Yuan looked around, trying to find something to replace it.

As his gaze swept over the skeleton not far away, he noticed a rope tied around its waist. Despite being thousands of years old, the rope still gleamed faintly, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary object.

He whispered "Sorry," stepped forward, carefully untied the rope, and replaced it with the slingshot. He pulled hard with both hands—

"squeak--"

The taut rope made a sharp, teeth-grinding snapping sound.

"Very good." A satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Then, he bent down and picked up a small pebble from the ground, intending to test what secrets the slingshot held.

Out of caution, he aimed at the stone wall next to him and deliberately reduced the force to avoid the stone chamber collapsing.

Who knows if it's some kind of enlarging projectile, or some ridiculous magic that promises "100% hit rate"?

"Hiss..." Sangfu watched as he untied the ropes from the skeleton, and subconsciously took a few steps back, her eyes filled with disbelief.

This guy... doesn't even spare the dead?

Kraft, who was not far away, also turned his gaze over, his eyes filled with a sense of solemnity.

Millie Alder noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere and frowned slightly.

Just as I turned my head, I saw the pebble shoot out like an arrow, and with a "thud," it actually pierced through the thick stone wall!

"Um?"

This scene surprised even the usually composed Kraft.

Is this battle qi? In just a few days, Gu Yuan's battle qi has improved to this extent?

But only Gu Yuan himself knew that this was not fighting spirit at all.

He calmed his breathing, recalling the feeling of almost no force being applied, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

He stomped his foot hard on the ground.

boom!

Some pebbles flew up, which he caught and shot forward again without hesitation.

This time was different from before. The pebble's flight path was not a straight line, but drew a beautiful arc in the air, suddenly turned, and flew precisely towards the stone chamber door!

"Smack."

Upon contact, it seemed to have exhausted all its strength, landing limply without even stirring up a speck of dust.

Gu Yuan stared intently at the mithril slingshot in his hand, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes, followed by an overwhelming sense of shock.

To achieve one's goal through one's own will.

Unbelievable, this is—

A shot that makes your wishes come true!
