Chapter 1261 Kindness
I am very confident in my own strength, but it also depends on the situation.
Facing ordinary adventurers, I can give in even if one is ten, but if I were to face an adventurer like Emily, I would be a little weak.
In fact, it’s not that we are incompetent, but that our opponent is too strong!
When I expressed my thoughts, Master Dewey disagreed: "What are you afraid of? You are not fighting alone. There is also a great dwarf guild and powerful technological power behind you. If these are not enough, I think the Fairy Queen will definitely not do it either." He will stand by and watch his future grandson-in-law die at the hands of his enemies."
"Well, you know Remy is the Queen of Fairies."
"Of course I know," Master Dewey said, "If I don't even know the identity of the people around my son, how can I be your father?"
"This seems to be privacy."
"Anyway, you are the one who is going to marry me from now on. I'm investigating my daughter-in-law's family situation. It's not an invasion of privacy."
Master Dewey said it righteously.
Obviously, Master Dewey did this mainly for my own good. Since it was for my own good, I couldn’t say anything more.
"Speaking of which, you are too chauvinistic. You always think that women are weak, vulnerable, and need to be protected. In fact, you have no idea that among your fiancées, there are many people with far different identities and abilities. It exists beyond your imagination." Master Dewey smiled mysteriously and said, "I won't say more here, but I can tell you in advance. If one day, you find that your fiancée looks very ordinary, but in fact has a transcendent identity, Don’t be surprised.”
"Huh?" The more Master Dewey pretended, the more curious I became: "Which fiancée are you talking about?"
Master Dewey said hey, "I won't tell you."
After that, I told him what the high priest said about my left arm. Master Dewey said that although he knew the runes on my arm were runes and that some of the runes were exactly the same as those recorded in ancient documents, he This is the first time I heard that these innate runes actually have power in themselves, rather than being activated by magic!
"I always thought that they gave different powers to pure magic, but now I know that they themselves have power," Master Dewey exclaimed.
Looking at my left arm, I couldn't help but sigh: "The high priest said that once these runes on my arm are activated, they will have extremely terrifying power and asked me to learn to master them. However, she doesn't know the specific mastery." What is the method, so I am very confused now and have no idea what to do.”
"I don't know anything about power at all," Master Dewey said, "I'm not even an adventurer, but Xiao Yi, despite this, I have experienced a lot of things, and I have also mastered some rules in the things I have experienced. Well , it may not be of much help to you, but it doesn’t hurt to listen.”
I nodded and put on a serious expression.
"I believe that if you want to master something, you must first get close to it." Master Dewey said seriously: "It is best to be able to communicate with it."
"Can we communicate?" I looked at my arms in confusion: "They don't make a sound, and they don't respond to me when I speak. How can we communicate!"
"Does communication require speaking out?" Master Dewey blinked and said with a smile.
"Oh!" I suddenly realized.
That's right, didn't I say anything when communicating with Odachi?
Well, great, this is a very constructive suggestion!
"Any more?" I asked urgently.
"You communicate with it first, and then I will continue to tell you," Master Dewey said.
"Just tell me first and let me know what to do next."
"I've already told you," Master Dewey said seriously: "As long as you can communicate with it, maybe you will know what to do next."
I am quite speechless. Since when did Master Dewey also like to talk and leave people in suspense?
After that, Master Dewey called Master Hall, and the two of them painted the runes on my arm again. This time, they painted very quickly, at least more skillfully than last time. In just over four hours, the two of them painted They each finished drawing the two runes they selected.
Four pieces of paper with runes on them were placed on the desk. Master Dewey looked up at the magic wall clock. It was already time to eat, so the three of us went to the restaurant together.
After the meal, I soaked in the hot spring, and then Master Dewey took me to the experimental site and introduced the new invention.
It had only been a few months since I last came to the Fort Witch Test Site, and the goblins had actually invented more than a dozen new puppets and weapons.
I have to marvel at the speed of their creation, and at the same time, I have to marvel at the huge funding of Veitchburg.
No matter how you look at it, those new inventions are of the type that require a lot of consumables. Take the magic crystal that is similar to a grenade. The raw materials of each magic crystal are very valuable. Among them, the most precious non-lead and None other than the detonator.
The fuse is made of mithril and the detonator is made of obsidian, both of which are famous and expensive ores on the Zephyr Continent!
Although the amount of consumables for one magic crystal is not large, what I saw was a warehouse full of magic crystals!
Master Dewey said: "Xiaoyi, do you see that these are things that can seriously injure adventurers below level five?"
My eyes twitched twice: "I would rather know their cost."
"Well, a warehouse of magic crystals consumes almost a year's worth of mithril mining and one-third of a year's obsidian mining," Master Dewey said. "As for other ores and metals, they are not very valuable."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it a bit too extravagant to spend such a high cost and only use it to seriously injure adventurers below level five?"
"It's not extravagant." Master Dewey asked rhetorically: "Once a war is launched, the amount of money lost every day will not only be measured in mithril and obsidian?"
"Um, sorry, I don't know much about war."
Master Dewey patted me on the shoulder and said: "Xiaoyi, you have never experienced war, so it is natural that you don't know this. The so-called war is about money and lives. If the money is gone, you can still make money, but if you lose your life, you can still make money." It’s really gone. In order to allow more of our people to survive, what do you think of spending more money?”
What he said seemed to make sense. Instead of letting his comrades be killed or injured, it would be better to let more enemies die.
Master Hall picked up a magic crystal, weighed it twice, and handed it to me: "Xiao Yi, I understand your thoughts, just like me at the beginning, trying to reverse everything in a peaceful way. However, mine You have also seen the end result, the guys from the main war faction were driven back to Fort Vicky."
"Why, you don't want to come back here?" Master Dewey glared at Master Hall sideways.
"Did I say I wasn't willing?" Master Hall retorted: "Don't interrupt me, I'll explain to Xiao Yi again!"
"Tch" Master Dewey expressed disdain.
Master Hall continued: "Kindness is the foundation of being a human being, but in this extraordinary period, kindness will only become a drag on you."
