Chapter 129: Need for Talisman
Rennes woke up from his sleep and saw that it was already bright outside the window.
He lifted the quilt and got up, and found that he had slept in Viola's bedroom all night. He was scrubbed carefully and changed into a pair of clean shorts, which should have been made by Viola.
He shook his head slightly, and there was no sense of tearing the soul in his mind.
"call...."
Ren took a long breath, "I finally recovered."
The inadvertent glance at Silver Star Academy last night caused more harm to yourself than imagined. It was like a soul wound that could not be quickly healed even when it consumed electricity.
Returning to Wei Ge Manor, he fell asleep, unconscious, and had no time to say goodbye to Roger and Zoltan.
Ryan gave a wry smile, and I really can't blame myself for being careless this time.
Soul Eye has been used for so long and has never been on a business trip. Except when he was an ordinary person, he glanced at Roger recklessly. After the accident, he has been very cautious.
Now you can observe the soul of the legend, it should be said that there will be no problems.
Who knows, I actually saw the Holy Soul Wizard at a glance.
There are only twelve holy soul wizards in the entire empire, and most people have never had a chance to see them in their entire lives.
It happened that the Duke of Redstone, who did not know what he was doing, pretended to be his own student and lurked in Silver Star Academy.
I also let myself run into it.
With such a low probability that things could happen, Renn could only admit that he was unlucky.
Until now, he has no time to think, what is the purpose of the Duke of Redstone? A holy soul wizard, lurking on the territory of another holy soul wizard, must have a plan.
And it's still in such a sensitive period.
The recent turmoil in Longshande was caused by the Shadow Blade, and the Shadow Blade was entrusted to **** the Eola Core of the Duke of Silver Star.
Will the Duke of Redstone have anything to do with Shadow Blade, who is the quest publisher?
Renn immediately denied this speculation.
Every holy soul wizard is a believer in the goddess of magic. Although not all the goddess is chosen, he will never betray the goddess and collude with the believers of Roxi. You know, Roxi is the goddess's mortal enemy, and the two are not in common, and there is no room for relaxation. Over the past millennium, the two gods have fought many times.
The Duke of Redstone also had no reason to **** the core of Eola, because he already had a floating city.
Even if you want to build a second floating city, with the huge wealth of the Duke of Redstone, you can easily create an Eola core.
He didn't need to take such a big risk at all to start with another Holy Soul Wizard.
Rehn thought for a moment, but always felt that something was wrong, as if he lacked key information and was unable to sort out a reasonable pulse.
What he worried about was whether to tell Duke Silver Star.
If you don’t say it, the Duke of Silver Star may encounter a greater crisis; if you say it, the Duke of Silver Star will not necessarily believe it, and may even reveal his secret. If it is leaked out again, he will offend the more terrible Redstone. Duke.
After thinking for a long time, Renn couldn't make a decision.
"Forget it, nothing happened for the time being anyway, leave him alone."
Rennes left all this behind and got up to wash.
When he got downstairs, Abigail, the housekeeper, had already prepared breakfast and relayed Viola's message that she went to check the damage to the Violet House.
After filling his stomach, Ren went out.
Instead of going to Violet House, he went to the Basil Hotel first.
Riding a bicycle from Wei Ge Manor, I saw the consequences of the earthquake last night from a distance. A large number of buildings collapsed. Many people sat sluggishly on the side of the road, waiting for rescue. From time to time, I could hear someone working for their families. cry.
In the midst of devastation, workers are already cleaning up the rubble, and the gap in the river is also blocked, ready to start reconstruction.
Wei Ge Manor is located on the north side of the Wizard Tower and has not been affected, so it is safe and sound.
Ren stopped looking for a moment, and shook his head helplessly.
He bypassed the collapsed area, crossed the Ferragren River from another bridge to the north, entered the Lien District, and arrived at the Basil Hotel before long.
The hotel is still very lively, everyone playing cards, drinking and drinking.
It's just that people's topics are inseparable from the earthquake that occurred in the Silver Star area last night, and all kinds of rumors and rumors flew randomly, but few people knew the truth.
Zoltan was not in the lobby, Ren went to the back courtyard and found him. He was sitting at the table sorting out the All Souls card, but did not see Roger.
"Where is Master Roger?"
"He's gone." Zoltan replied glumly.
"gone?"
Renn didn't react for a while, and he was stunned for a few seconds to understand that Roger had run away overnight!
He hurriedly asked, "Why is Master Roger leaving? Where did he go?"
"I don't know why." Zoltan threw away the card, scattered to the ground, and muttered: "He didn't say where to go, but I guess he was either going to Brantania's territory or to the Principality of Hohavan. I'm looking for his daughter, he has few places to go anyway."
Ren heard curiously, "Master Roger has a territory in Brantania, and has a daughter?"
The Knight State of Brantania is located in the north of the empire. The people of the whole kingdom are followers of Vivian, the goddess of the lake. The ruling class is a group of feudal and conservative knights, very exclusive.
Roger is obviously not a Brantania, but he can be knighted and territory, I don't know how to do it.
The Principality of Hohavan is in the southwest of the empire.
This principality is actually a vassal state of the empire, with an area equivalent to a province. The overall terrain is a huge basin, with beautiful scenery, fertile products, extremely fertile land, rich in grapes, and world-renowned for brewing high-quality wine.
Its ruler is also a member of the Supreme Council, the famous "Queen of the Storm", a female holy soul wizard.
"Didn't he tell you?" Zoltan asked somewhat unexpectedly.
Ren shook his head: "No."
Zoltan sighed: "Roger is a believer in the goddess of the lake. He was made a knight of the kingdom in Brantania many years ago. He has a baronial collar and the surname'Lavix', but he never uses it. That's it."
"As for his daughter, she is actually an adopted daughter."
"I accidentally picked it up in the Principality of Hohavan, and lived with Roger for a few years. Later, I entrusted it to a noble family in the Principality. It should have been many years since I saw each other."
Ren nodded. It turned out that Roger was a believer in the goddess of the lake.
He only dared to observe Roger's soul directly yesterday, but did not pay special attention to Roger's fire of faith.
In the empire, there are not many people who believe in the goddess of the lake.
The doctrine of this **** is roughly equivalent to the ancient tradition of the knight, which is the eight virtues. However, Roger's faith does not seem to be particularly religious. He has never mentioned it or prayed.
Thinking about it carefully, Rennes had already guessed why Roger was leaving.
Obviously Roger had moved the truth about Delersa before, but he realized that it might be the effect of suggestion, and he was deceived. After the suggestion was lifted, maybe the feelings were still there, but he couldn't accept that Duke Silver Star had other lovers, and the status gap between the two was too great.
Ryan didn't get along with Roger much, but he also knew the pride in the heart of this legendary demon hunter.
He didn't want to participate in those jealous dramas, put down his self-esteem for women, and became a loyal vassal of the Duke of Silver Star like Flink.
So, just leave and cut off the love.
Ryan just felt a little regretful and didn't say goodbye to Roger.
I don't know when we meet next time.
"This is the spoils we got from the fortress. Let's distribute it." Zoltan revealed several pieces of equipment, the most conspicuous of which were two staffs and a rune book, and several other odd alchemy items. It is something that the Lich collected from the former supernatural.
Two staffs, one comes from the ninth-level lich, and the other is owned by the dark wizard of the dark day, both are fine staffs.
Especially the black wizard's staff, with three spells attached, worth at least three or four thousand gold.
But the most valuable is the rune of the lich.
Ryan hadn't had time to take a closer look before, so he picked it up and studied it for a while.
This rune book is **** thick, like a dictionary. Except for the cover, it is actually only five pages. It records five spells, three of which belong to the undead type, and the remaining two are the three-ring fireball and the second-ring Olympic. The spell "Spell Counter" can be cast three times a day.
Rune books are very common spell-casting equipment, sometimes called spell books.
The spells recorded above can be changed.
A rune book that can record five spells, equivalent to the best equipment, worth more than ten thousand gold!
Ren thought in his mind that his melee combat was already strong enough, and it would be difficult to improve much in the short term. After the second soul change and promotion to an intermediate wizard, he should develop in the direction of casting spells.
Battle wizards are also wizards, so they still have to master more spells.
This superb rune book can make up for your shortcomings in spellcasting and is also very convenient to carry.
Rehn quickly made a decision and said: "Zoltan, I want this rune book, but its value is very high. We appraise the price for it, and then I make up the difference."
"There is no need to make up the difference."
Zoltan said indifferently: "If you want it, take it away. I will sell the rest and share it with Roger. I will keep his share for him temporarily."
Ren couldn't help but feel a little strange.
The remaining two staffs, plus the pile of miscellaneous items, may not be worth five thousand gold when sold, and it is less than half of the talisman. With the temperament of a dwarf, a Tong Lisuo is usually considered clear, but today is so generous, it is almost like a person has changed.
"Zoltan, this is not like you, it's a big loss." Renn couldn't help laughing.
"You worked so much in the fortress and saved my life. What's the loss? Do you think I'm the kind of ungrateful dwarf?"
Zoltan folded his chest, glared at Ren, and said cursingly: "Actually, I have gained the most. The knowledge of runes copied in the temple is more valuable to the dwarves than ten best runes."
Renn did not pretend to be anymore, "Well, then I will accept it."
"Hurry up and take it, while I haven't regretted it now." Zoltan called out loudly, paused for a moment, and said: "After I have handled these things, I have to go back to the lava castle."
The smile on Ren's face disappeared, "Then what about this hotel?"
"I will give it to a friend to take care of it for a few years. I don't know if I can come back later. If it doesn't work, I will sell it." Zoltan looked a little bit disheartened.
Renn was silent for a few breaths and nodded his understanding.
Zoltan's goal in Longshande was for the knowledge of runes in the iron need fortress. Now that he has obtained it, there is no need to continue to stay.
And Roger also left for another reason.
Seeing Renn's depressed look, Zoltan stepped forward and patted his fearful arm hard, and smiled: "It's not a goodbye. If you have time in the future, you can come to the Lava Fort to find me and live for a few years. Or Let's go to Roger together. With your strength, it is not a problem to live for hundreds of years. In the future, there will be time to meet."
"Yes, I'm still too young."
Ren laughed, his thinking remained the same as before, not changing.
Legendary and extraordinary people have a life span of at least three hundred years.
Dwarves can also live more than four hundred years.
For such a long life, the angle of time is different, and after more experience, the behavior is very different from ordinary people.
Not seeing each other for a few years, or even parting for decades, is normal.
Ryan didn't think much about it, he collected the runes and left the Basil Hotel, and rode his bicycle to find Viola. He was going to buy a soul-eating potion and will perform the soul-changing ceremony today.
