In order to have a safe logistics base, the experienced Eric asked the sailors and soldiers to spend several hours cutting down all the trees and weeds that might block their sight around the camp, and also built two simple observation towers and arrow towers with the wood from the view, so as to control the surrounding areas and sea conditions at any time.


    Although most ships avoid this cursed area for various reasons, pirates or smugglers occasionally pass by.


    He did not want to sink and capture the warships docked in the Bay because of a moment''s negligence.


    Heavy physical labor continued until the evening. Zhang Cheng left the "Enlightenment" and entered the camp standing on the hillside.


    At the moment, more than a dozen tents have been built, and most people are busy taking a bath and cooking.


    Due to the long-term lack of fresh water at sea, they haven''t taken a bath for half a month. Coupled with the hot climate, everyone exudes a pungent sour smell. Now that they have landed, they naturally have to clean up.


    In addition, bad pickled meat, dried bread bitten by mice and hard beans also make them very eager to change their taste.


    For a while, all kinds of seabirds, wild animals, fish, crabs and shellfish on the island were killed. The hungry sailors didn''t even let go of the tortoise. They directly killed them and threw them into the pot for dinner.


    Feeling the smell of meat in the air, Zhang Cheng turned and asked Eric behind him, "don''t you think they are a little too relaxed? We are in the center of the ruins of varelia, and we may encounter emergencies at any time."


    "Ha ha! Don''t worry, sir, these boys just vent and calm down in a few hours at most. After all, they''ve been at sea for so long. Eric glanced at the sailors who were chatting and laughing together and shrugged his shoulders.


    In his opinion, any adult man who has been at sea for more than a week will inevitably make some outrageous actions after landing, such as taking out all the money in his pocket, drinking in a hotel, and then frantically tossing with women all night.


    In fact, nine out of ten people who have been engaged in the seaman profession for a long time often drink alcohol and go whoring, so hunting and improving food are just normal behavior, which is not worth making a fuss at all.


    "Well, make them nervous as soon as possible. You have to understand that what we have to face next is not pirates and stone people, but more incredible things." after saying that, Zhang Cheng ignored the camp in a semi Carnival state and took little Celine straight to the half tall tower in the middle of the island covered with all kinds of green vines.


    According to the records of the tangorian family, it is one of the most important places in the capital of Valeria - mifatta. It is also the place where the Valerians study supernatural forces and the only origin of valerian steel.


    In those years, they performed powerful magic here and crashed a mysterious and deadly meteorite from the red comet.


    Although Zhang Cheng doesn''t think the meteorite will fall around the tower, otherwise the destructive power generated by the instant of energy release, the island should have sunk to the seabed long ago.


    But anyway, as the location of the magic ceremony, he should always leave some clues. His purpose is to find the hidden location of the meteorite according to the clues, and then salvage it by all means.


    One foot deep and one foot shallow passed through the ruins full of weeds and low shrubs. Two people, one big and one small, stopped at the entrance of the high tower.


    Gently stroking the exquisite symbols carved on the wall, Zhang Cheng suddenly turned back without warning and asked the girl: "lovely little princess, tell me what magic is in your eyes?"


    "Hey?!" Celine was obviously surprised. She first bit her lower lip and hesitated for a long time, followed by a quick shake of her head. "I... I don''t know. I think magic is almost a powerful and mysterious thing."


    "Powerful and mysterious? Don''t you think magic should be a kind of knowledge and a kind of technology, and anyone who is smart enough can master it through learning?" Zhang Cheng asked with a smile.


    "Learn... Learn magic?!" little Celine was undoubtedly frightened, her eyes widened and her face was full of disbelief.


    "Hehe, why, you think it''s a little incredible? In fact, behind any power you don''t understand, there are corresponding skills and methods. As long as you can master it, you can master this power, and magic is no exception. Look at the black light spots on the section of the broken rock wall, it''s the evidence that the varelians master superb magic skills." Zhang Cheng said, He picked up a stone and handed it to the girl.


    As soon as the latter came over, he subconsciously touched the cross section of the stone, immediately screamed and threw the stone away.


    "Ah!!!!! It''s so hot!"


    "That''s right! You know, these black spots are actually dragon crystals that have been specially treated. Adding them into the wall can not only increase the hardness of the wall, but also make the wall resist the high temperature like dragon flame. Do you remember that the walls of Longshi island fortress have adopted similar processes. Unfortunately, these technologies have been completely lost now. Let''s go , let''s go in and see what valuable things are left behind. "


    After a simple sigh, Zhang Cheng stepped into the empty tower.


    Because of the half fracture, there is no shelter on the top of the tower. The light is very good, and you can clearly observe every corner around.


    The first thing that comes into view is rows of huge bookshelves more than four meters, but the books on them have long rotted and turned into a pile of gray dust.


    In addition to bookshelves, the most eye-catching is the spiral stairs around the middle column, and even a lifelike dragon is carved at the corner of each stair.


    Just when little Lori was attracted by the spectacular scene of the tower hall, Zhang Cheng noticed that a faint energy seemed to be emitted under the mossy ground.


    He quickly squatted down to remove the moss and check the patterns and patterns covered under the moss.


    Maybe it''s because of too long time, or it may be that it has been corroded by humid air for a long time. Most of the lines have become blurred. Only a flame shaped pattern near the stairs remains intact and releases heat continuously.


    Celine soon noticed this and came up and asked carefully, "what''s this?"


    Zhang Cheng spread his hand with a smile and replied, "it''s hard to say. You have to do a small test first. You''d better wait outside. I don''t want to see you hurt..."
