Chapter 186: Windfall!
"It's more than just helping...these are - all priceless"
Brody's voice was trembling, it was really the words with tears in his eyes. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand his feelings at this time: This is the classic book of the High Elf royal family. Although most of it has been eroded by rain and time, even if there is only a small half that can be read, it still represents the essence of the High Elf civilization. The brightest achievement
"Be careful when moving books. If one is damaged, I will break your legs."
He ordered the wood elves beside him to die, but he was both excited and distressed... Thanks to the extremely precious materials used to make these classics, many of them have not been destroyed even though they have been exposed to the humid air for seven hundred years. Moth-eaten, decayed or broken into pieces, but they can still be flipped through and read. Roughly speaking, there are still three or four hundred books that are completely preserved.
You must know that the books that Brody has excavated from the ruins of other ruins over the years are only 70 or 80 books that can be read. Right now, the harvest of this room has exceeded the sum of decades. If you look at the value of the content , especially those dozens of fragments before the explosion: because most of these tomes are compiled in "sets", their value is far more than some single books that are vague and only a few words
In other words, if these books are studied in depth, they can even perfect the "magic system" that is vacant in the human magic world, and the value of it is immeasurable
Although Luo Di, a layman, doesn't understand how great the value is, he can intuitively feel the joy of the other party: [Wood Elf (Elsa Village)]'s reputation has been directly raised from "friendly" 6 to "Respect" 6's soaring speed is really a rocket.
Right now, Rody can walk sideways in Elsa Village, and he really has an unimaginable right to speak.
Seeing the wood elves carrying the books with great interest, Rody nodded inwardly, feeling that the fire was almost ready, he changed the subject and asked: "These books are all related to 'Arcane'? I remember that there are 'arcanists' in the human world too. , and this is the same thing?"
"Yes, and no."
Brody casually placed the book on the stone table beside him. Just as he was about to continue talking, he saw Rody come over and pick up the classic, and raised his hand to gently wipe the seemingly inconspicuous stone table.
He didn't understand what this meant, so he just paused, and then continued: "Although we live in a closed life, in fact, more than a hundred years ago, when the population of wood elves was not low, we even went to the outside world to visit some human beings." The 'arcanists,' roughly concluded that although those arcanists are quite capable, compared with the power of the high elves, they are completely..."
He made a gesture and said in a low voice: "A drop in the bucket.
"
This made Rody raise his eyebrows. Speaking of which, he hadn't really cared about the topic of "Arcane" before. Seeing that Brody didn't seem to be joking, he asked seriously, "So much difference?"
"Arcane is very powerful, not just some attack spells, it contains the power of all things in the world—'Elementalist,'Arcanist,'Wizard, the energy used by the magicians among humans, In the final analysis, it all stems from the arcane.”
After saying these words, Roddy opened his mouth wide - he had never heard of such a theory. Could it be that these three professions have the same origin? Impossible, the three professions among the players are very different, and they often look down on each other, and the war of words on the forum has never stopped, did they not notice it?
Thinking about it again... the mage players in the game don't really know spells, they are all simulated by the program, and they can't really generate energy. It's really impossible to talk about "feeling".
"Think about it from another angle, if the high elves only have human arcanists, with that little power, can such a huge kingdom really last for two thousand years?" Brody sighed, bent down and picked up a large tome , Gently wiped off the dust on the cover with his hand, and read in a low voice: ""The Profound Truth of Time"...you can control the power of time, this is the ultimate power of arcane art."
Rody looked at the stone table involuntarily. He remembered the "time stillness enchantment", and felt that Brody's words made sense in his heart, and said in a low voice: "So simply speaking, it is the power that these books can teach. , is far stronger than the current research level of the human world?"
"That's right." Brody's answer was a little proud, but more depressing.
There was no torch lit in the dark room, but it was illuminated by firefly "lanterns". Under the flickering light, Rody's slightly frowning expression was fleeting. He combined the information he had just obtained, and the more he thought about it, the higher elves seemed to be a little too awesome, and he asked: "According to this, 'Arcane, including almost all spells, then the high elves of that era How powerful can an Arcanist be? Could it be many times stronger than those human great magisters?"
"I don't have an answer for such a comparison," Brody said honestly, "I have never seen the two kinds of existence you mentioned, and even if I did, it would be difficult to judge, but..."
He shook his head, but there was no sound for what he was going to say later.
Rody waited for a moment, seeing that Brody had no intention of continuing, so he didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the firefly lantern and felt that the surrounding light was really dim, so he raised his hand to light the ring, but as soon as he raised his hand, Rody discovered a fact—he could understand the "activation spell" of the ring up
Obviously, the side effect of the advanced profession is that he learned "High Elven Language", which was knowledge that suddenly appeared in his mind, and Roddy couldn't even detect it. Looking at the display panel again, "ukjt,er" has been translated, meaning "Arcane Light: Guardian".
This is obviously the original skill name of the ring light. Rody really didn't expect that he would have such an "unexpected harvest", but doubts followed-how could this "Arcane Light: Guardian" cause so much damage to the undead? Big damage? Isn't high elf arcane? How can there be the effect of "holy light"?
Then he remembered the activation spell of the necklace he was wearing: ",a".
It is also High Elvish and means: "Shadows come."
Rody immediately asked Brody about the relationship between "Arcane" and "Divine Art". Brody's expression changed, he just kept saying that he didn't know, but it was obviously something unspeakable. Rody knew the temperament of the wood elves, if they didn't want to say it, then they really wouldn't say it, so they simply stopped asking, but found an excuse, and walked to other places in the ruins.
After Rody left, Brody looked at those classics and was a little lost in thought... He thought Rody knew something, so the situation was a little complicated. "If I say arcane magic is omnipotent...I'm afraid no one will believe it."
The old elf sighed, but then he thought of the crisis that the village would face next—is it really necessary to rely on human power?
In the past, this kind of behavior was "leading wolves into the house" no matter how you think about it.
But the current Elsa village is indeed caught in such a dilemma: if they don't seek foreign aid, let alone the attack, even if nothing happens, they will have a hard time getting through next year.
Brody looked at the mountains of books piled up around him, but found that he was like a beggar guarding a golden mountain. Even though he was sitting on a priceless treasure, he could only wait to be starved to death
"It's just a tragedy..."
Walking in the dark corridor, Rody sighed aloud—he is naturally the person who knows Brody's situation best, so this seemingly "treasure" ruin is actually released by Rody on purpose...to crush Brody. Dill's last straw.
Such a precious treasure, the wood elves will do whatever it takes to keep it. So from another point of view, it's not that Roddy gave the wood elves the "right to choose", in fact...he didn't give the wood elves any right to choose from the very beginning
It is to tell you clearly, it is to let you have no choice.
Although this method is not comparable to the veteran nobles like the Duke of Angmar, it is more than enough to deal with the wood elves. Rody took a long-term view. From the moment he killed Kevin, all his goals had turned to Magda, and after Magda was the entire kingdom—the problem here with the wood elves was no longer a problem. Roddy Now, I'm just calculating how much time I have left to complete the arrangement.
He strolled around here, but it was time for Brody to make a final decision. But he didn't expect that he would gain something unexpected during his wanderings: the rooms in the underground of the palace store all kinds of items. Although most of them have been corroded by time, there are also some undamaged rare treasures...
These are definitely real "windfalls"
In a stone room like a weapon exhibition hall, Rody bent down to pick up a beautiful but dusty dagger without any rust. Even though the wooden weapon rack had been decayed for many years, when he struck the blade, the buzzing sound The ringing sound was still crisp.
【Royal Guard Short Blade】
Damage: 4539
One-handed excellent
Requirement Level: 3
Strength 130
ff constitution 8
"For the glory of the High Elves."
The attributes are powerful, the level requirements are high, and the most important thing is... the same weapons are scattered all over the place, and there are nearly a hundred of them. It is obvious that they are the standard weapons of the Royal Guard, and this room should be a small armory for storing weapons. .
There is also a complete set of light armor, which is also not rusty. After studying for a long time, Rody was pleasantly surprised to find that the materials of these weapons and armor all contain the rare metal "Bareton Iron".
Damn it, the current market price of each raw ore of Barreton Iron is sold in terms of silver coins.
Rody clenched his fists excitedly: The biggest characteristic of Barleyton iron is that it is light and strong, and it is the best choice for cavalry armor. To lower the demand for equipment, just melt them down and reforge new armor, that will definitely destroy the existence of all knight armors of the same level
There are not many cavalry regiments equipped with pure iron armor in the entire Karen Kingdom, but what if all the cavalry are equipped with "Balayton Iron" armor?
Just YYing the flashing golden light scene, Roddy felt himself soaring with happiness...
Be sure to get it and arm your knights
