Chapter 619: Chapter 434: The Mottled Steel Forest_2
Suddenly, a look of anticipation and curiosity appeared on the old mage Carlvin’s aged face, as he eagerly blurted out.
“The so-called Hall of Heroes is the place where the Titan Tribe, their successive clan leaders and strong tribesmen are honored and worshiped.
After all, the Titan Tribe is a race where strength is held in high esteem, and only the strongest in each generation will become the leader, instead of paying particular attention to bloodline as most other races do.”
With another signal from Leo Ray, Gideon Black’s long eyelashes fluttered, as she continued lightly, “According to Titan tradition, after experiencing many battles and trials, their weapons have become an inseparable part of their bodies.
That is to say, these axes embedded in the ground are like the memorial tablets for these powerful Titans.”
At this moment, Gideon Black gently stroked the massive, mottled axe head in front of her while continuing, “In short, those who have the qualifications to store their weapons here have all been renowned top powerhouses of the Titan tribe.”
Speaking of this, she looked at the steel forest of giant battle axes before her, her slender eyebrows slightly furrowing, and went on, “I have seen another Titan Hall of Heroes before. The scale there was much larger than here.
However, the weapons stored there, despite the passage of time, are still as bright and shiny as new, sparkling with dazzling cold light.
The weapons here, however, are clearly a different story.
From this, it can be seen that there must have been a great catastrophe, so much so that there was no time to maintain the weapons.
This can also be corroborated from the severely damaged condition of these weapons.
For the weapons of the Titan powerhouses to suffer such devastating blows, it seems that their enemies back then were indeed formidable.”
“So it turns out that the Titan Clan has such customs.”
Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on the old mage Carlvin’s face, and he hastily took out a parchment from his bosom and began to record it.
Meanwhile, Leo Ray had already come to the side of a giant battleaxe and attempted to open the weapon’s attribute column.
Immediately afterward, a semi-transparent interface that only he could see appeared in front of him.
“Indeed, the attribute column can be opened?”
Seeing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly and began to examine it.
[Name: Damaged Titan Long-Handle Axe][Original: Roar of the Brave]
[Grade: Damaged][Original: Tier 4 -Epic (Purple)]
[Attack Power: Damaged][Original: ?????]
[Additional Effect One: Damaged][Original: Magic Quenching ‘Physical Penetration Increased 50%]
[Additional Effect Two: Damaged][Original: Power of the Wind Spirit ‘Slightly Increased Movement Speed]
[Remarks: A Tier 4 Titan powerhouse’s weapon. In the face of a powerful opponent’s attack, the Titan powerhouse, along with his long-handled axe, was cut into two.]
After finishing examining this axe, Leo Ray did not hesitate to open the attributes of another one beside it.
[Name: Damaged Titan Double-Bladed Axe][Original: Dawn of the Brave]
[Grade: Damaged][Original: Tier 5 – Extraordinary (Silver)]
[Attack Power: Damaged][Original: ??????]
[Additional Effect One: Damaged][Original: Scorching Flame ‘Inflicts Burn Effect on Target]
[Additional Effect Two: Damaged][Original: Titan Alloy ‘Physical Penetration Increased 90%]
[Remarks: A Tier 5 Titan powerhouse’s weapon. Facing a large group of powerful opponents, this battle-hardened Titan powerhouse eventually perished.]
“Even a Tier 5 powerhouse couldn’t escape their fate?”
After closing the attribute column again, Leo Ray’s face revealed a thoughtful expression amidst the astonishment.
It seemed that just as Gideon Black had said,
This group of Titans does not seem to have met an exceptionally powerful enemy in those days.”Why does this encounter with the Titan clan feel similar to the Elf City ruins near Penelope Welbourn’s territory and the Winged People’s Barrier Region in the Mystara City?”
Realizing this, Leo Ray could not help but frown slightly, pondering in his heart, “However, having said that, at that time, it was basically confirmed by Jasper Richardson and Gideon Black.
Both of the aforementioned places were subjected to devastating attacks by unknown enemies during the Era of Blankness, eventually disappearing into the torrent of history.
If this Titan clan also perished in the Blank Era 3000 years ago, then there is a contradiction.”
Looking at the mottled giant axe blade in front of him, Leo Ray furrowed his brow and continued to think: “After all, not far from this Titan clan ruin is another unknown ruin, which has been confirmed to have been destroyed in the Blank Era.
And the Titan clan is very similar to the Dragon clan, both being extremely antisocial and aggressive races. They would not build their own structures near other races, nor would they allow other races’ structures to be so close to them.
Therefore, if both of these ruins were destroyed in the Blank Era, the reasonable explanation I had thought of earlier, that they were not of the same era, would be completely denied.
So, the previous question arises again: why are these two ancient ruins so close to each other?”
Realizing this, Leo Ray, who had no clue, motioned for Asher Porter and others to split up and explore while accompanied by Red Night and Taylor, who was hidden under the cloak, and Gideon Black. He began to slowly walk through the Steel Forest made up of giant axe blades.
During this process, through inquiries with Red Night, Leo Ray confirmed.
Based on the subtle weakening of the blue magic arrays seen earlier, Red Night could accurately determine.
That this ancient ruin of the Titan clan indeed perished in the Blank Era three thousand years ago.
“Is that so?”
Learning this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully and said to Red Night, “As for other things, let’s talk about them when we return.”
Without a doubt, as the long-lived Dragon Clan, Red Night might have some new clues to the unknown Blank Era.
Thinking of this, Leo Ray refreshed his spirits and focused his attention on the damaged battle axes in front of him again.
Next, by checking the attribute column one by one, Leo Ray further discovered.
Despite these mottled giant axe heads appearing no different on the surface after the passage of time, there are discrepancies.
Among them, there are no weapons below Tier 3.
The lowest tier is at Tier 4 level, which makes up the majority. Only about one-fifth of the weapons reach the Tier 5 level.
And from the notes on the weapons, it can be seen.
The wielders of Tier 4 weapons are all above the Tier 4 level, while the wielders of Tier 5 weapons must be at the Tier 5 level.
“That is to say, these nearly a hundred damaged weapons represent about 10 Titan clan Tier 5 powerhouses and about 90 Titan clan Tier 4 powerhouses? Yet even with such strength, they couldn’t escape their fate of destruction.”
Realizing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
And so, walking and stopping along the way.
After going around more than half of the Steel Forest under the protection of Red Night and others, Leo Ray noticed.
There really isn’t a single intact weapon here.
Out of curiosity, Leo Ray learned through Red Night.
Due to the Titan clan’s tradition of using ancestral weapons in times of crisis, hoping for their ancestors to grant them strength.
So, this is not abnormal. On the contrary, it can be seen indirectly that indeed, back then, this place had been pushed to the brink.
“Alright, let’s continue our investigation.”
After learning all this, Leo Ray calmed himself down and once again took a step forward.
In a short while, when he reached the end of the Steel Forest and opened the attribute column of the last giant axe.
An expression of astonishment couldn’t help but emerge on his face.
