Chapter 378: 378
Inside the Dragon Mount Field Zone, which was rumored to have a certain connection to the legendary Ancestral City of the Dragons, there were some sub-zones featuring ruins .
Of course, these ruins were probably leftover signs of habitation by a group of Dragons, or sub-dragon species . After all, only True Dragons could legally reside in the Ancestral City . Every other species was only there on a timer .
Hundreds of millennia had passed, so there was not much left of it to discern the kind of aesthetics, culture, and style the Dragons of old patronized, but what was left was enough to leave Fitter Cleric and Essence Stalker speechless .
"Damn, those guys from the old era were living it up! Just look at how fancy the material for these buildings were! This wall was made with Aetherum, a special mineral only produced by the Ancestral Dragon City!" Fitter Cleric exclaimed as he picked up a cracked and dull piece of metal that was about to turn into dust .
Essence Stalker was shocked by Fitter's words and checked the material out for himself . It kinda resembled Aether Crystals, in that it had the concentrated greenish-blue coloration as well as the glossy sheen .
It was likely that the production of this metal had a lot to do with Aether Crystals . However, after the sand of time had done its part to it, it had become useless . Neither Fitter nor Essence could tell the use of this metal, or its special characteristic, after so long .
On the other hand, Essence Stalker turned to Fitter Cleric and astutely asked: "How the hell do you know that?"
Fitter Cleric wore a neutral expression as he replied coolly . "I saw hints of it in my past life . "
Essence Stalker gazed at his buddy with disdain . Who did he think would believe this bullshit? Since when could this lucky bastard see into the history of the universe and himself?
However, he did not have the time or will to discipline the fellow and make him more honest . They had come to this place as a sort of investigative squad, sent by Riveting Night and Loving Aunt .
Admittedly, Riveting Night had basically said: "Head to the place closest to the Ancestral Dragon City and snoop around there for as long as you need . Don't come back until you find something special!"
And Loving Aunt had coquettishly added: "Not a bad idea . The lucky one acts as a homing beacon and the draconic one acts as the key . This should be interesting . "
Due to the Luckmancer's dogshit luck, he had acquired many powerful items and skills from chests and draws . As such, he had amassed quite a few skills that were very useful in many situations .
For one, there was this;
「Locate Treasure – Active skill
Effect: Using your extreme Luck, concentrate, and be guided to the location of the nearest thing of the most value within 1 mile .
Note 1: Can only be used outside of combat .
Note 3: Luck only determines the quality of the treasure, not the success rate .
Cooldown: 1 day」
This was an Epic skill that Fitter Cleric had learned from one of his three Epic Chests for surviving the Emergency Quests back then . The others had received one Epic growth item and 2 Rare items in order to curb their growth, but the AI could not defeat the almighty Fitter in terms of loot draw .
After all, every gacha game company had a picture of the fellow's face on their gun ranges and dartboards . Some even went as far as wanting him extradited so that he could be tried on the crimes of being too lucky .
Interestingly, those very same claims always would be lost in transit, or the judge who was to decide on it would fall sick .
Essence Stalker could only attribute his current Epic class to Fitter's lucky skills, which had led them to the place where he found the reverse scale .
However, Essence was currently frowning deeply because Fitter had consistently used his locator or luck tracking skills for the past few days, and they had only gotten failures .
As such, the best friend duo had ended up here in due time . They had searched around for quite a bit, but were unable to find anything useful altogether . . . until they naturally chanced upon these ruins .
That 10% success rate was quite the bummer . Fitter didn't have the time to Rank up since the Lady Boss had sent him out with this buddy of his . Her reasoning was that Fitter was to use the Class Up feature of the Training Hall when he came back to receive something even better .
That did make sense . After all, if he tried to Class Up now, no one knew what he would get or whether he would succeed . He couldn't go to Rank 2 because that would be a total waste, and he couldn't reach for the stars because he might lose what made him valuable in this situation .
As such, the duo had to make do . Fitter once again activated his locator spell lazily since the thing had just come off cooldown . He expected it to succeed this time after failing for so long, but he once again came up with nothing .
This slightly frustrated and irritated him . Could it be that the Goddess of Luck had gotten wind that she was no longer his main babe? Was she jealous of Slim Fatty, or by any chance did she leave him for another man better than him? That was impossible! No one could ride on Luck as he could!
"Uh, buddy . We seem to have run into something problematic . " Essence Stalker said with a hushed voice to his distracted friend .
Fitter Cleric raised his head up and saw a large dome-like building that was cracked and ruined in many places . It was actually the most intact of the buildings in these ruins so far, and the architecture was definitely something worth exploring and taking a photo of .
However, Fitter could not find it in him to wake up his inner artist or archaeologist at this moment, for he was gazing into a building that had been turned into a den of werewolves .
These strange nocturnal creatures were living in the darkness that the large dome building provided, but that didn't mean that they were afraid of the sun . No, it only meant that they preferred to sleep during the day and hunt at night .
