Chapter 37 Return
"So you agreed to take them all away?"
When Lavinia led six townspeople dressed as construction workers and walked out of town with large and small packages, she was dumbfounded.
"There are almost fifty or sixty people here. Can your place really accommodate that many?"
If it were in his previous life, Ron would definitely have dismissed Lavinia's doubts, but this place was no better than his previous life, and he actually didn't know what he was doing.
Fortunately, the young farmer seemed to be very popular and influential among these people.
"Miss, you don't need to worry," Andre, the young farmer, smiled friendly at Lavinia, "We have to endure hardships wherever we go, and at least there will be no shortage of water and food there. food."
"Maybe we can rebuild a village again."
"I don't care. Just listen to the leader's instructions." Lavinia glanced at Ron and saw that he didn't react, so she stopped worrying about it.
"But let's talk first, it's not that I want privileges: my alchemy materials and instrument sets must be properly kept. No matter how many empty rooms you have after arriving, I want at least two - there is no way in the workshop For sleeping people.”
"I, I can sleep in the same room as Lavinia," Bunnie said quickly. She and Lavinia had just returned to town together, but unlike Lavinia, her luggage was pitiful.
A bag of change of clothes, a statue of Tymora that was almost half her height, that's all.
"Lady Lucky doesn't emphasize sacred places, so all you need to do is clear a small area for me to place a shrine."
These were all small things, and Ron agreed to them one by one. The joining of these two people can greatly improve both daily life and outing exploration. Compared with this, some benefits are nothing at all.
"By the way, Lavinia, I happen to have something I need to ask you about. Let's talk about it slowly on the way."
…
"Amethyst slate, where did you get it?" On the way, Lavinia repeatedly looked at the slate in Ron's hand (it was difficult for her to hold it herself) and asked.
"In one of the tombs, the sarcophagus seems to have the coat of arms of the Elf Hailan Empire."
"As expected," Lavinia became serious, "Did that half-elf girl ever tell you that during the last desperate struggle of the Hylan Empire, they forged a number of powerful magic items? This amethyst slate is one of them. one."
"How do I know," Ivy pursed her lips, "I was not born at that time. All the stories about that empire were told to me by my mother. She was a longbowman in the rebel army."
"That's no wonder. This thing is very confidential. I also heard it from an uncle - he was a warlock in the army at that time, and he heard his colleagues mention some things in this regard."
"It is said that the Hailan Empire has cast a total of seven extremely rare and even legendary magic items. Each of them is very powerful, but for some reason, these items were not used in the final battle. They seemed to disappear out of thin air. Likewise, some people speculate that this may have been a rumor from the beginning.”
"But this slate..."
"Is it one of the seven items?" Ron asked.
"No, this is said to be a lock that seals those magic items. Do you see these seven grooves? If you can find the corresponding key and put it in it, you can get the corresponding item. But..."
"It's definitely not that simple. But since this stone slab is real, those items must not be groundless - there must be some truth, right?"
Victoria, who was walking aside, looked at the stone slab thoughtfully: "But if those things are really so magical, why were they not used by the Hyland Empire in the end, but instead their locks were buried with a member of the royal family?"
"Moreover, since it is obviously the ultimate trump card for a last-minute fight, why bother adding a lock?"
Victoria's question is reasonable. Logically speaking, this way of using trump cards shouldn't be so cumbersome.
Ron remembered a classic he had read in his previous life. In it, if the imperial prime minister wanted to use nuclear weapons, he only had to press a button and confirm a password with the other side.
As for conventional weapons, there is no need to be so troublesome. In order to draw their guns quickly, those Western cowboys may even risk the risk of misfiring without even holstering their guns.
This operation of Hailan Empire is really confusing.
"But this is an advantage for their elders," Lavinia curled her lips and said, "Otherwise, these things should have been destroyed by the Alliance Army at that time, and Mindatis wouldn't have to go to such trouble."
But this is definitely not the original intention of that "short-lived" empire. Who can think of counterattack for generations to come?
"You have to continue to follow Mindatis to get the answer to this." Lavinia retracted her gaze. "I'm not good at fighting, so I can't go with you. But if you find these relics, you can bring them back to me. Take a look, maybe I can provide you with some clues."
"Is there anything else?"
"And this," Ron took out the scroll he took out from the dwarf in his hand, "Please help me look at this. Can you understand the dwarf language?"
"Spiderwalk," Lavinia replied concisely. "After using it, you can move up and down or sideways on vertical surfaces, or even hang upside down on the ceiling without using your hands."
"That's it?" Ron looked expectant.
"You don't think I can interpret this?" Lavinia sighed, "My main job is alchemy, not magic, don't think too highly of me."
"I know a little bit of dwarven language, so I can understand the general meaning, but it's not enough for me to interpret the principles."
"If you want to interpret it, I suggest you learn it yourself-I mentioned the progress of the Delusion Land to Victor when I came out. He said he would mention it to the caravans coming and going, and suggested that they stop by the Delusion Land. Maybe you can meet a bookseller and exchange some language books."
However, although Lavinia could not provide help in such a place, she was willing to teach more of what she knew to this human who had just stepped into the threshold of the mage. This made Ron's two-day journey extremely fulfilling, and his spell book also added two new spells: magic missile and language proficiency.
The former helped Ron to supplement his offensive ability in battle, while the latter allowed him to know the literal meaning of all the languages he heard, or to read the literal meaning of the written words by touching them.
Unfortunately, the magic scrolls were usually secret words used exclusively by mages, so knowing the language was basically of no help.
