Chapter 232 The whereabouts of the armor

Linde is not the kind of person who likes red tape. He invited him very directly: "I sent people to the city to find you, the bachelor, and wanted to ask you to do something for me. Unfortunately, the bachelor had already arrived in Essos at that time. , now that I have met you, I can invite you in person. "

"Okay, I agree." Marwin also answered very directly.

Marwin agreed to his invitation so quickly, which actually surprised Lind. He was stunned and asked: "You agreed to me so quickly, why don't you think more about it?"

"No need to think about it. In fact, I am already preparing to return to Westeros, and after I return, I will go to your territory and work for you." Marwin said very directly: "I have been studying magic all my life, and You are the embodiment of magic now, and I will certainly not give up this opportunity.”

Although Lind was very happy that Marwin could agree to his invitation so quickly, he still reminded him seriously: "Bachelor Marwin, I think it's better for you to think about it seriously, because if you agree to my invitation, then you can't Leave again."

Later, he told Marwin some things about the Black Cave. After hearing this, Marwen not only did not show any hesitation or worry, but actually became more excited.

To him, the Black Cave is simply the holy place he dreams of. He just wants to find a place where he can study magic with like-minded people all his life. Originally, he thought the school city was a place like that, but it turned out that the people there were all a group of "gray sheep" , even if there is forbidden knowledge, they dare not learn it, let alone use it, they will only hide it.

Now Linde's Black Cave not only possesses a large amount of forbidden knowledge, but has also produced some research results. Faced with such a place, even if Linde does not take the initiative to invite him, he will not hesitate to join in after knowing it, and no one will. Don't try to pull him out.

So Marwin said categorically: "No need to say it! Even if you drive me away, I will not leave."

Seeing this situation, Linde said no more and felt happy that he could find a beneficial magic talent.

Before leaving Summer Hall, Moroya had complained to him more than once about the lack of manpower, and the talents she mentioned did not refer to talents in potions, but talents in ancient rune knowledge and magic research.

Except for Moroya, there is no one qualified to study magic in the entire Black Cave. Coburn is not interested in magic research at all. He is only interested in the method of using magic, so he is only suitable to be an assistant, but really All the research fell on Moroya.

This kind of burden will be okay for a while, but over time, even if Moroya's enthusiasm for magic has not changed, she will still feel tired, so now she urgently needs partners who can study a lot of mysterious knowledge with her, rather than cooperate. Her assistant for testing results.

Linde then asked: "I still need to go to Qohor before returning to Summer Hall. Do you want to go back with me, or should I give you a token and you go back by yourself."

Marwin thought for a moment and said, "I'd better go with you! It just so happens that I also want to go to Qohor."

"Are you going to Qohor?" Linde heard this and asked tentatively: "Are you going because of the magic armor?"

"It seems that the two of us have the same purpose?" Marwin nodded and said: "When I stopped in Norvos not long ago, I heard that the Soyd family in Qohor has mastered the technology of making magic armor. A perfect piece of magic armor was produced and will be displayed in the city in a month, so I thought about leaving for Qohor in a few days."

"Perfect magic armor!" Lind could feel that the perfect magic armor Marwin was talking about was his own, but he did not reveal it to Marwin, he just asked: "Since you want to go to Qohor , why were you suddenly captured by these Dothraki?"

"No, I was not caught by them." Marwen shook his head and said, "I know these Dothraki and I rescued their horses before. They knew me and didn't catch me. I happened to be going Come here to record the relics and symbols of this ancient civilization, and then go to Gedoh to take a boat to Qohor. They happened to be camping here, so they met together." As he said, he looked at the Dothraki again. The man asked, "Do you have any grudge against them?"

Linde said in a deep voice: "You want to plead?"

"I just think it's a pity that so many outstanding warriors died like this," Marwin said: "The leader of this Dothraki people is called Zuko, and his father is Tecorokao. When Ko was still a child, his father was defeated by the then famous Khal Barb, and he was taken away by Khal Tecor's loyal men to become the leader of the Dothraki. They were not. The traditional Dothraki LS is more like a mercenary group composed entirely of Dothraki. They will be hired by some powerful people and will also work as a bandit group. They have a strong presence in this inland area. It’s not a small force. If you can control this team, it may be easier for you to control this inland area in the future.”

"Do you think I will want to control this inland area in the future?" Linde asked curiously.

"Since you already have the intention to take action on the disputed land, I think you will not be willing to let go of other Free Trade Cities." Marwin said solemnly.

Marwin is obviously not just a pure bachelor who is obsessed with magical knowledge as the outside world rumored. He obviously also has a certain political vision. At least most of the powerful people in the Free Trade City have more political vision.

However, even if Marwin has a certain political vision, his vision still has its limitations. After all, his position is not high and the scope he sees is not broad enough. In his eyes, these Dothraki may be able to help. , but in Lind's eyes, these Dothraki would only become trouble.

So Lind shook his head and said: "There is no need for these Dothraki to stay. He is of no use to me. The only thing that is useful is some information in their leader's mind."

As he spoke, Lind asked Marwen to point out who the leader of this group of Dothraki was.

Then, Lind put his hand on the sword of the Homeless Knight at his waist, and a frozen power emanated from him, freezing the Dothraki around him into ice sculptures, except for those who were pointed out by Marwin. The leader who came.

One moment, Marwen was still feeling sorry for the impending death of the Dothraki he knew. The next moment, his attention was all focused on the Dothraki corpses that had turned into ice sculptures.

Although the process of Linde knocking down these Dothraki just now felt very miraculous, he could tell that it should be related to some kind of drug. Ordinary people can also use this drug to achieve similar effects, but The method of using this kind of drug to only target specific people is somewhat magical, but it is still very different from the magic he knows.

However, now Linde was right in front of him, freezing so many people into ice sculptures. He had witnessed the whole process with his own eyes. This scene fit all his imagination of magic, and he couldn't wait to study it.

While Marwen was studying the frozen corpses, Lind also tied up the last surviving Dothraki leader, and then packed up hundreds of war horses.

After about a few hours, the Dothraki who had been left alive by Linde gradually woke up from his coma. As soon as he woke up, he felt something was wrong and found that he was tied up. He immediately opened his eyes. , looked around.

However, all he saw were ice sculptures, and the faces of these ice sculptures were all his men. An inexplicable fear made him scream until he saw Marwin and Lynd.

Then, he gradually calmed down from his fear and shouted loudly in Dothraki towards Marwyn.

Marwyn also answered a few words in Dothraki.

With Lind's Dothraki proficiency, he could barely understand some of this accented Dothraki, and knew that the other party was asking Marwen what happened, and Marwen was answering the other party.

Linde had no intention of wasting time, and directly took out the veritaserum used by the blood-armored men to interrogate prisoners, stepped forward, pinched the mouth of the frightened Dothraki, poured it in, and then Stand back and wait for the medicine to take effect.

Soon the effect of the Veritaserum took effect, and the Dothraki's eyes became a little blurry as if they were drunk.

Lind immediately asked the other party in the Dothraki language he had learned: "What is your relationship with the Soyd family of Qohor?"

Upon hearing Lind's question, the Dothraki quickly gave an answer, but the Dothraki he answered had too much accent, and Lind couldn't quite understand it.

Marwin stepped forward and acted as a temporary translator and said: "He said that he and the Soyd family have a cooperative relationship. He helped the Soyd family solve some problems, and the Soyd family provided him with weapons, horses and food."

Linde continued to ask: "You robbed a mercenary team transporting magic armor near Ge Duohe. Where is that set of armor now?"

Hearing Lind's question, Marwin couldn't help but be stunned. He soon realized that the magic armor-making technology claimed by the Kohorsoid family might have come from Lind, and the so-called perfect magic armor might also have come from Lind. It belongs to Linde.

The Dothraki answered quickly, and Marwen translated in time: "That is a set of demon armor. Many of his men died while transporting the armor, and the armor has been sent to the mine. "

"Mine?" Linde couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. He just thought that his magic armor was the so-called perfect magic armor that the Soyd family was going to display soon. Now it sounds like his armor has not been sent to the science and technology department. Hall.

"The mine he is talking about should be the Liat Mine, which is located deep in the Kohol Forest to the north of Kohol. There are several metal mines there that are extremely important to Kohol. The Soyd family owns one of the mines. "Marvin explained: "These Dothraki often capture people from caravans or people from towns on the lower reaches of the Rhoyne River and sell them to the mines of Qohor as slaves."

At this moment, Lind also suddenly realized why the Dothraki did not send it back to Qohor after grabbing the magic armor, but transported it to the mines. Why did the Dothraki die so many people during the transportation? I'm afraid this is It's because of the burst of magic power on the magic armor.

The moment the Homeless Knight armor is forged, all the dragon runes will be activated, and it will move around to absorb the magic power from the outside world.

Because there are complete guidance runes taking effect, the dragon runes on the armor will not directly convert the absorbed magic power into the power of the dragon runes like other single dragon runes, accumulate it on the surface, and then release it quickly. Absorb the magic power into the dragon rune and accumulate it, waiting for someone who knows how to use the dragon rune to call it.

Therefore, the armor of the Homeless Knight will remain in the state of ordinary armor for a period of time until a large amount of magic power is accumulated, which cannot be vented and used. It can only escape to form a magic burst, and this magic burst is extremely lethal and powerful. And coverage will continue to expand as the number of outbreaks increases.

There is no doubt that if the accumulated magic power of the lost knight's armor is estimated at this moment, the destructive power caused by its explosion should be able to easily freeze half of a city as big as Pentos.

Presumably, the Soyd family was also worried that the magic power of the armor would cause damage to the city of Kohol, so they transported it to the depths of the mine and hid it.

"Do you know the location of Soyd's mine?" Lind asked Marwin.

"I know, it's not a hard place to find," Marwin replied.

When Marwyn finished speaking, the Dothraki who had taken Veritaserum also turned into an ice sculpture before his eyes.

Marwin sighed slightly, and then asked: "Are you going to the mine now?"

"No, let's go to Novos first. I still have some things to do." Linde told the story about Kwela.

After hearing this, Marwin thought for a while and said, "I think I know why Kuinan Tashi, or the Tashi family, spared no effort to attack Kvira and want to occupy Ge Duohe."

"You know?" Linde was stunned and asked, "For what?"

"For the Rhoynar treasure," Marwyn explained.

"The Rhoynar's treasure?" Linde had a thoughtful look on his face. In fact, he had also heard about the Rhoynar's heritage or treasures.

The entire process of the Rhoynar War is recorded in detail in the book "History of the Rhoynar War" included in the academy. Although according to the records in this book, the war between the various city-states of Rhoynar and Valyria continued. More than two hundred years ago, but in fact those two hundred years ago were just some sporadic border conflicts, not a real war. The only thing that could really be called a war was the all-out war between Valyria and Rhoynar.

In the war that destroyed the city-states of Rhoynar, the dragon kings of Valyria easily destroyed all the city-states of the Rhoynar people, including the warrior queen Nymeria of Rhoynar. At that time, he led the remaining Rhoynar people across the sea and migrated to the continent of Westeros.

Although the book did not mention how long the War of Destruction lasted, but judging from other side clues, it should not have exceeded a month in total, and the rapid destruction of the Rhoynar city-states also made these The wealth accumulated by the city-state also fell into ruins, which is where the Rhoynar treasures came from.
