Scene 31 Lord of Mithril Castle, Turaman
Scene 31: Lord of Mythril Castle, Turaman
In the Amber Sword, there is a legend that has long been circulated in the south of Golan Elson. There is a scholar with a level of 120 who lives in seclusion on the needle forest road between Ankerze and Braggs. This legend has been circulating since the 380th year of the First Age and has always attracted people. But it wasn't until four years later that a player truly saw this legendary being for the first time.
Brando knows that man, his name is Turaman.
Tulaman Mithril Osetan, the master of Mithril Castle, a great scholar, and an intermediate wizard.
He was the silver leader of the Twelve Ring Magic Society. Later, after the organization was disbanded in the Year of Seven Colors, he left a floating city in Kanaichibuga and returned to Golan Elson to live in seclusion.
In the game, when he is patient enough in a month, he will help some players find the deputy position of scholar. Of course, most of the time, it is not good for him to be disturbed by ordinary people. Therefore, after the initial popularity, most players returned to the noble library in Fort Bragg. After all, the inaugurated scholar only needed to spend a little money to register, and there was no need to look at the NPC's face, and it would not be any different.
However, players are a strange creature. They always try to find some unknown secrets, so there are always people trying to get some benefits from this old man, although Brando doesn’t know if these people have ever succeeded. . But I have to say that this time it was his turn.
There won't be any loss anyway, maybe it will succeed? Besides, Brando has always suspected that the deputy Silver Castle scholar in the game has something to do with this old man, but he has never had a chance to test it out.
Now that there was an opportunity, he certainly wouldn't give it up.
However, he didn't expect that Turaman didn't live in this village, but on a hillside a few miles away. In the past, he only knew the other party's approximate address in the game, but he didn't expect that this oversight would have such a huge impact in this world. One hit cost him almost half the morning.
Being perfunctory really harms others and yourself.
The four people were walking in the forest. The roads from Anzek to Fort Bragg were all densely populated areas, so the original style of the Butchi area could not be seen in the middle of the forest. It is more like a country-style road running through the trees, with a row of wooden fences erected at regular intervals on both sides, and fallen leaves covering the gravel ground.
Walking in a place like this makes people relax unconsciously. Freya stared at the beautiful scenery in the forest on one side in a daze, while Roman followed her step by step with his hands behind his back, looking here and there, as if he found this very interesting.
Only Brando is accustomed to these scenery,
After walking for almost an hour, he became a little impatient and couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Bartom, are you sure the person we are looking for lives in a place like this?"
Bottom wiped a handful on his red beard, took off his hat and replied: "I am extremely sure, my lord. If you are looking for an old man with a big white beard who likes to drag his gray robes to the ground, then This must be the only one in the area. Don't worry, I, Bartome, will ask about the matter."
Brando nodded.
Bottom is still trustworthy. Everything he has done in the past month has been done properly, of course, some of it is done in a mercenary way. In fact, Bottom himself is very accustomed to Brando's instructions. He is not as arrogant as many nobles. Just like he knows that he is a mercenary leader, so he just orders him as a mercenary leader.
The red-bearded Bottom was sincerely convinced and couldn't help but think that this was the level a leader should have.
But the only doubt is about the relationship between Brando and his wizard retinue. The young man named Charles always appears and disappears sometimes, which makes people feel mysterious.
Sometimes Bottom wonders what their master and servant are doing, but in the end it can only be attributed to the elusiveness of the Highland Knights.
While the two were talking, the forest came to an end. Freya let out a soft ah in front, and then everyone's eyes suddenly became clear. On the hillside of a meadow in front of them, a dirt road led to a small wooden house sitting alone on the top of the mound.
It was a rather peculiar house. When Brando and the others got closer, they realized that it looked like half a barrel upside down on the ground. The door was opened in the center of the barrel, with arched windows on both sides. There were potted flowers, purple or silver, even Brando couldn't name them. But it looks like hyacinth. The young man originally thought so too, but after he saw the evening primroses planted in a flower bed on one side, he realized that these might be rare magic materials.
Then they walked into the fence outside the wooden house. There was a bell hanging on the arched door, but Brando knew the other party's rules. As long as Turaman was not napping at this time, he must have discovered them through the warning spell. Therefore, ringing the bell at this time will only cause displeasure to the other party.
Brando knew that the bell could only be rung when there was something important.
The only time he remembered in the game was when a dragon attacked a nearby village.
It was at this time that he felt Freya touch his elbow on the side. He turned around and saw Freya asking with confusion: "Brando, what is this place?"
She would have realized that Brando was here to meet other people, but who would live in such a place?
"It's just an old man's home." Brando retracted his gaze and stared at the door of the wooden house and replied casually.
"elder?"
"Well, he's a wizard."
Freya let out a low sound on the side, and the sword in her hand almost shivered and fell to the ground. In fact, not only her, but also Bartome, who had a lot of experience on the side of his face, couldn't help but puff up his chest when he heard Brando's words. A wizard is a wizard. Although Ciel is also a wizard apprentice, he is much worse than a real wizard.
In fact, in Eruin and even the entire countryside of Warend, wizards have always been the most mysterious characters in pillow stories. Many people grew up listening to legends about wizards. Most descriptions of this type of people are and Ghosts and gods are connected.
But in fact Brando knows that wizards are very common in really prosperous areas, big cities or towns in densely populated areas. In particular, royal academies in many kingdoms also train court wizards, so ultimately these people are not such mysterious beings.
Of course, if it is the dark wizards, witches, and undead wizards in The Witcher, they must be equated with those characters in legendary stories.
Brando looked back at Little Roman and found that the businesswoman was a little nervous at the moment. He couldn't help but ask: "Why are you nervous?"
"Auntie said you have to be polite when dealing with wizards, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble." Roman replied matter-of-factly.
"Huh"
Before Brando had time to reply, an old man's soft voice came from the room. Then the wooden door opened with a creak: "This statement is not some folklore. Little girl, who is your aunt?"
The old voice seemed to be accompanied by the opened door and the old man behind the door who was wearing a gray robe, wearing tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, with silver hair and a snow-white beard hanging down to his waist, entered the room of the four people present. within the senses.
Not only Roman and Freya, but this was also the first time Brando met Turaman, the legendary 120-level scholar.
"Aunt is just an aunt." Roman was not afraid of life at all.
The old man glanced at the others, as if sizing them up. However, his somewhat cloudy eyes swept over Brando and Bottom one by one, without stopping, and fell on Freya, stunned for a moment.
Finally, he glanced at little Roman, smacked his lips and said, "Little girl, I knew who your aunt was when I saw you like this. Hum, your temper has definitely improved."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Freya and Brando were taken aback. Freya was surprised that this old man actually knew Roman's aunt. Brando had said that he was a wizard! Brando was also surprised that Tulaman actually knew Roman's aunt, but the level of surprise between them was completely different.
The difference between a person known by a wizard and a person known by the owner of Mithril Castle and the silver leader of the Twelve-Level Magic Society is huge.
"Have you met Roman's aunt, old man."
"Do you know Aunt Jenny?" they both said at the same time.
Tullaman was about to turn around and enter the house, but stopped when he heard these words. He looked at Freya at first and didn't answer, but his eyes fell on Brando and he replied: "Young man, don't you understand what politeness is?"
Brando coughed. He was used to dealing with NPCs, and he was too shocked just now, so he just lost his words for a moment. At this time, I could only smile and pretend to be stupid: "It is a shameful behavior to waste life. Old man, I am just trying to save time."
Tullaman narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "So you recognize me?"
"Of course," Brando answered straight to the point: "The master of Mithril Castle, the silver leader of the Twelve-Level Spell Society, how could I not recognize Master Tullaman."
He said that Freya was fine. The hat in Bottom's hand fell to the ground unknowingly. He didn't know who the silver leader of the Twelve Ring Magic Society was, but the owner of Mithril Castle was a famous wizard. There is a famous legend in the mercenary world. Back then, there was a group of mercenary scum who were half mercenaries and half thieves. They set their sights on the legendary hall made of mithril. As a result, four to five hundred people came, and The two ogres were eventually turned into stone.
These stone statues still stand on the desolate beaches of the Sea of Desolation for travelers to visit.
But now that legendary existence appeared in front of Bottom, how could he not be shocked? But what shocked him even more was that Brando was still trying to establish relations with the other party with a smile on his face. Could it be that he, the lord, had lost his mind and gone crazy?
But what was even more unbelievable to the red-bearded mercenary leader was what came next.
Tullaman was stunned for a moment after hearing Brando's words, and then stopped to look at the young man again. He glanced at Brando up and down, as if to confirm whether there was such a person in his memory, and then said: "Young man, it seems that you are well prepared, but who are you? I don't remember you." Such a person? Whose son are you?"
Brando glanced at Roman. He didn't expect that Tulaman would actually know Roman's aunt, so the connection between them was a bit suspicious. It seemed that the identity of little Roman's aunt was not that simple. At least, She also has to be a famous witch.
But there are only a few famous witches in history. Could it be that the legendary Blue Witch abandoned the throne of witches and left Iberia, the Kingdom of Winter, to come to the mortal world?
He buried this suspicion in his heart for the time being. After listening to Turaman's question, he shook his head: "I am not a descendant of anyone, but I came here with a question."
"Question?" Turaman was stunned.
Brando pointed to his mouth shape and pronounced: "sta
The old man was startled, and at first he seemed to have heard some clues. But then he frowned again: "What does this mean?"
Brando was stunned. What he was talking about was the Creation Epic of the Cruz people, the original text in the Poem of Blue. In his time, each of these original texts was the root cause of the wizard war and the fighting between wizards. Unexpectedly, the picture Raman never heard of it? He was stunned for a moment, and then he broke out in a cold sweat. Is it possible that there is no so-called earth stone in this world?
However, the young man immediately realized that it might be because it was too early and the stone slabs on the earth had not yet appeared. In The Amber Sword, the growth of Madara is just a bifurcation of the historical branch. Although it has a profound impact on Eruin and surrounding countries, the real main line of that world is the emergence of the earth slabs.
The outbreak of the Wizarding War
Of course, Brando didn't want to bring the earth slate into the world so early, but he just wanted to use a certain word in it to arouse Tulaman's interest.
Although the single words were almost meaningless to the entire text, the magic contained in these creation words should be basically the same, and he believed that Turaman should be able to discern the mystery.
He looked at Turaman and replied: "Old man, have you ever heard of the hymn that describes the beginning of heaven and earth and the creation of the world, the poem of the blue of the Cruz people?"
Turaman put a hand on his beard, and he indeed felt the primitive and ancient magic contained in the previous words. It's not powerful, but it seems like the source of all magic today. He initially thought it was ancient dragon language, or a variant of rune language or wizard language, but after carefully searching his memory, he found that he found nothing.
Tullaman did not doubt that this young man would lie to him. To be honest, as a scholar who had spent hundreds of years in books and practice, anyone who could deceive him would at least have the ability to impress him.
"Are you talking about the first epic that the Cruz people claim to be earlier than the Elven Hymns?" the old man asked.
Brando knows the prejudice of the Silver People against humans. Although Buga's wizard is a human being, he is not a human being. They have noble blood and have always looked down on the people on the earth, but the Cruz people have a long history, which makes these silver people jealous and unwilling to admit it.
As a player, he didn't mind this and just nodded.
"What does that have to do with the word you just said?" Turaman stopped and asked.
In fact, the discussion between the two of them at this time has gone beyond the acceptable limit of Freya, Bottom, Roman and others. The three of them had long heard it in confusion. As for Freya, she only regarded Brando in her heart. The shadow of the shadow enlarged again, and Bottom was already shocked beyond measure.
But genius knows that Brando himself is just deceiving.
"That's the original text of Cang Zhi's poem, which describes how our world was created by Martha's kindness. Lord Turaman, I told you I'm not lying. You should be able to experience the magic contained in that byte for yourself." Brando replied.
Tullaman's expression changed and he turned back to the house. Soon there was the sound of turning books in the wooden house.
At this moment Brando knew that his plan was half successful. He turned back and gestured to Freya and others, asking them to follow. Then he took the three people into Turaman's home
