Chapter 828 Candidates for Master-level Appraisal
In a sense.
Merchants are the weather vane of regional stability.
The more prosperous the place, the more merchants will flock to it.
Although there are those who dare to go to dangerous and chaotic places to make a lot of money, most merchants still prefer to make clean and safe money.
It is not only Pete and others who realize that the "defense strength" of the monster red tide this year is far greater than before.
The merchants' keen sense of smell allows them to discover it earlier and react faster.
Since the defense line is more stable than before, it should be safe and bold to transport supplies to the three border territories for sale?
With this idea.
The number of caravans driving caravans, carts, and wheelbarrows in front of the monster red tide this year is also far more than in previous years.
They travel back and forth in the three border territories, bringing various materials needed for the war to sell.
...
Merchants dare to run around in the three border territories.
Not to mention the scholar Wallace who is obsessed with the appraisal.
At this moment, he was riding a coach to the Earldom of Kalezi, intending to visit his old friend, the scholar Mendel, who had just arrived at the border from the capital.
For the black gelatin ball that he carefully packed in a suitcase and kept close to him.
Before Pate and his team went to the defense line to wait for the arrival of the monster red tide, in order to investigate what the black gelatinous ball condensed from the corpse of the newborn demon was, they issued a commission to find a scholar with master-level identification skills.
Scholars are a rare profession with a small number of people.
In addition, mastering identification skills makes the conditions even more stringent.
The identification skills must also reach the master level.
There are only a few such people in the entire Reyak Kingdom.
It's a coincidence.
Although the old scholar Wallace has announced his retirement, he is indeed a senior scholar who masters master-level identification skills!
What Pate and others want to identify happens to make Wallace extremely interested!
It's related to the monsters in the dark forest and void pollution!
It also involves the oracle guidance of the god of knowledge, Nowen!
These two things combined, the old scholar wanted to not even ask for the reward. After Valerie told him about the commission, Wallace immediately went to find Pete and others and saw the black colloid sphere.
Then Wallace was confused!
Because he couldn't identify it!
The so-called "master-level" identification technique refers to the effect of the divine art of the god of natural history.
The stronger the effect of the divine art, the better the identification effect.
For example, ordinary identification can only distinguish the purpose of an item at most, and the result may be very broad and not accurate enough;
The more advanced ones may know its certain function or confirm its material composition.
The master-level identification technique is more effective, and there is a chance to clearly confirm its usage, utilization value, etc.
But Wallace used the identification technique several times on this black colloid sphere without believing in evil, which made him dizzy and his head buzzing, but the result transmitted back to him by the divine art was still a mess!
The old scholar was not discouraged, but became more interested!
He carefully distinguished the information fed back by the magic.
"I suspect that this thing needs to be identified with a more powerful divine art."
Wallace made a suggestion to Pate and others:
"I have a friend, you may have heard of him."
"Mendel Greg, the discoverer and summarizer of the divine art ritual of [Divine Healing]."
"I have been retired for many years. With my current energy level, I may not be able to maintain the whole process smoothly for the divine art of identification that requires the arrangement of the ritual venue."
"And I have also placed several essential ritual materials at my home in Kalezi Territory."
"If Mendel is asked to preside over the ceremony, there will be no problem!"
"He arrived in Kalezi Territory with the Crusaders transferred from the capital to the border. I originally planned to ask him to meet in Dawn City, but this guy wrote me a letter a few days ago, saying that he had something to do to assist the Crusaders and had to stay in Kalezi Territory for a while until the monster red tide ended."
"If you believe in me and Mendel, I can take this thing to him and ask him to help identify it!"
Pate was a little hesitant at the time.
Wallace looked like a skinny old man with gray hair. He usually needed to wear reading glasses to see things clearly, and his physical strength was not very abundant.
Now it was the eve of the monster red tide.
What if the old scholar encountered any danger on the way to Kalezi Territory, or had a sudden illness?
So Pete suggested, why not wait until the monster red tide was over and Mendel was done with his work, and invite him to Dawn City and bring the materials with him?
Wallace was not happy.
"The Earldom of Kalezi is so close to here, and now the Worry-free Travel Car Company has opened a large car for passenger transportation back and forth. I came here from Kalezi Territory!"
"I have been to Xiwei Territory outside the border in person. What dangers can I encounter when I return to my own home in Kalezi Territory?"
No mistakes in one poem, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar!
The old scholar's mentality is very pure.
Seeing something he couldn't understand, and it was also an important item related to the god of knowledge, Nowen, and had a very special origin.
His curiosity was completely aroused, and he wanted to immediately find out what this black colloid sphere was.
Pete couldn't resist the old man and agreed to his proposal.
He cast a [Tracing] spell on the black ball as a necessary insurance measure to prevent it from being lost.
Wallace immediately arranged for Valerie to help book two tickets to the nearest Kalezi!
He couldn't wait any longer!
...
The atmosphere in Kalezi Territory is significantly different from that in Ceylon Territory.
The latter has become full of vitality due to the influence of the Church of Seeking Knowledge, and is now a scene of rapid development. Everyone is working hard for their own goals, and the original "faith" atmosphere has been weakened a lot.
Kalezi Territory is more influenced by the Church of the God of Radiance. In the same stable and peaceful order environment, the atmosphere of Radiance faith here is much stronger.
People wearing small items sold by the church, such as Radiance amulets, can be seen everywhere on the road.
There are also more Radiance priests.
There are as many as 3 churches alone.
It is far from the lonely church in Ceylon Territory.
The church located in the city has long queues every day, and people come here to worship and pray devoutly.
Because Earl Kalezi is a faithful believer of the God of Light, although he has not been blessed to become a believer of Light, he still insists on going to the church every week to pray and worship, regularly donating wealth to help repair the church, carry out charity and relief, etc.
With the earl taking the lead, many nobles and wealthy people below also followed suit, generously donating money and materials to the Church of Light.
With sufficient wealth support, the Church of Light can also organize more activities to help the poor, the sick, and refugees.
Because of the approaching of the monster red tide, the recent Kalezi territory has a bit more solemnity in the previous peaceful order.
When Wallace found the other party's residence according to the address of his old friend Mendel's letter.
He saw many fully armed members of the Crusaders patrolling back and forth on the nearby streets.
