768 Chapter 768
When a magic rune hidden on the wall was triggered, it lit up, and the activity of the surrounding magical elements could be clearly felt, and they were quickly arranged and combined into a special shape, similar to a formation diagram, and then emitted a red light, and the painting hanging on the side was lifted by the red light and quickly burned.
Oops, it's a bit big.
He Jun quickly quieted down, watching the burning painting fall, and still thinking in his heart, what a poor sense of fire prevention is to make this kind of flammable magic rune at home, the key is that there are flammable materials next to it.
"Amy, what's going on?"
There was a call from upstairs, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps.
He Jun guessed that "Amy" was a cat-eared orc, and as for the white-haired half-orc who quickly came down the stairs and extinguished the fire with the water in the vase next to him, but was still frowning, it was probably the pharmacist Jerome they had talked about.
"Your Excellency, you called me?"
Amy poked her head out of a room on the first floor, and she probably heard the sound of the painting falling, but put Jerome's call in front of her.
The sight fell on the staircase, the wooden staircase was smashed by the burning paintings, and even if the fire was extinguished, it left a scorched black mark, and some water stains, accompanied by the smell of burning smoke.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
Amy didn't know why, but looked at the place where the painting was originally hung, and there was also a gray mark there, which was left by the frame of the painting when it first burned, just like a folded corner.
"Oh my God, what's going on? Why is it burning inexplicably?"
Amy stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, even though her current appearance has nothing to do with petite people, but petite is always contrasted, compared to the tall and thin Jerome next to her, her appearance can be regarded as small and exquisite.
Jerome narrowed his eyes, looking at Amy as if he really didn't know, he triggered the rune again, He Jun's spiritual power has been withdrawn, it stands to reason that it should not be detected, his mental power shield has the effect of confusing and hiding, and the location he is in, if it is not deliberately tracked, it is difficult to find his hiding place, he has been wandering outside for the past two days, he has used the same method to dodge.
However...... When he found that the spiritual silk was touched, He Jun's surprise was almost to form a substance, spiritual power was the most skillful ability he used, and it almost became a part of instinct, but...
"Come out, little thing. Jerome smiled with interest on his lips.
Amy didn't know why, she looked left and right, then looked in the direction of Jerome's gaze, looked up and asked, "My lord, who are you talking about?"
"Go about your business, there's nothing for you to do here. ”
Jerome waved his hand, and after Amy left, he walked directly to the direction where He Jun was hiding, and said softly: "Little thing, your magic power is used very well, but you don't know, magic runes are not simple one-time use, after use, you can still leave traces of magic power, follow the magic line, your location is like black ash on the snow, it's too obvious, aren't you ready to come out, if you have to let me catch you out, you..."
He Jun quickly understood the name of "magic power", which is nothing more than another name for spiritual power in this world, and it is good to understand it, there is no need to pay attention to consistency.
He stood up and did not remove the spiritual power shield, and said with a calm expression: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, the magic runes on the wall are very interesting, I just touched it, I didn't expect it, if I can, I will compensate you for your losses." ”
He doesn't speak the language of this world very well, but with the help of mental power, there is no obstacle to communication with each other, and there will be no misunderstanding due to inaccurate pronunciation.
"How did you do it by replacing words with magic?" Jerome was more interested, he smiled and stroked a few white whiskers under his chin, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and it looked like he was not too young.
And when he laughed like this, he seemed much kinder than just now, and the disappearance of malice would bring people a sense of relaxation, and the atmosphere was indeed relaxed.
The other party is more interested in the use of spiritual power than the so-called compensation, and this is also an opportunity for them to communicate with each other.
He Jun did not hide a certain approach of his own, and explained that he thought that this "magic power" was spiritual power, and emphasized the difference in the concept he thought that spiritual power could not cause fluctuations in magic elements, and magic power would inevitably cause fluctuations in magic elements.
This concept is not new, but when you don't think of it, it's like treating odd and even numbers as numbers, and no one finds it inconvenient, but once you realize it, you will inevitably feel that this kind of existence is more conducive to some kind of research.
"It's a very novel point of view, it's rare that you can have such an opinion, you are still so young, what race are you, how can you be so small, shorter than a rat orc, are you young or deformed?"
Jerome pinched his beard and looked at He Jun, he didn't realize that He Jun belonged to the type of strange goods, he had seen a lot of strange beasts, and he only regarded this kind of intelligent existence that could communicate fluently as a rare race.
Jerome, who doesn't communicate much with outsiders, obviously lacks a certain acumen, and he treats Ho Jun as a person of his kind in the first impression, and he is not even prepared to pursue the other party's trespass into his house.
"We humans are adults who are of this size. He Jun doesn't mean to disguise, his appearance is too different from the people here, no hair, no ears, no tail, and the flatness of his face is too obvious, vaguely admitting misunderstanding will only show his scheming and dishonesty.
When the movement was big, he thought that the worst outcome was just a fight, and he was still very confident in his mental strength.
"How did you find my spirit silk?" The magic rune that He Jun knew did not have the effect of leaving a trigger mark, this was obviously a more advanced magic rune, and if it could be learned, it would be worth the risky act just now.
After seeing Jerome's emphasis on knowledge, He Jun felt that he could continue to maintain this kind of friendly conversation, and talk more about the theory and practice of related knowledge.
Jerome didn't mean to get to the bottom of the other party's race, but when he heard He Jun's question, his thoughts pulled back, "It's very simple, this magic rune has the function of storing memories..."
He talked eloquently, talking about the wonderful use of this magic rune, and there was some contempt for the current magician, Jerome, who was expelled from the magician team, had a talent in potions, not to mention, for those regular magicians still have a yearning, for which he secretly worked hard, wanted to reach a new high in the potion, and published papers to win respect or something...
"I'm studying the relationship between the alien beast and the demonic beast, and it will soon be written, and at that time, I must ask the magic tower to award me a contribution medal!"
Under He Jun's conscious inducement, Jerome said more and more, and the subtle spiritual silk touched his spirit, because the silk was too fine, and it did not cause elemental fluctuations, he didn't realize it, but felt that he had a lot of things to say all at once, many years of wishes and ambitions, things that were not good to say to people, and he opened his mouth to say it.
He Jun listened quietly, on the one hand, he found out the knowledge points from his words to supplement his understanding of the world, and on the other hand, he played a good listener, and listening carefully was more likely to be cited as a friend.
After a conversation, Jerome thought that Ho Jun, who had listened to him so much, was already a good friend, and invited him to eat, and Amy, who was called over, served the food that had already been prepared, not only pickled raw meat, but also two bowls of rice porridge, which looked better than the kind of appearance that Pease had eaten.
Seeing He Jun's size, Amy showed a surprised expression, obviously it was rare to see such a small person, and she was still a little hesitant when she handed over the bowl that could be used as a basin.
He Jun thanked the other party and asked for an empty bowl to portion, and Amy smiled again when she saw him dancing with the spoon in an interesting way, and there was still a trace of flesh on the exposed fangs.
After dinner, He Jun went to his studio with Jerome and saw the paper he was writing, this is a relatively advanced magic world, the magic tower is counted as a grading institution, whether it is a pharmacist or a fighter, including magicians, they can be graded there, Jerome's pharmacist qualification is low, which does not mean that his potion is not good, but because the direction of his potion invention is a little speechless, for example, the kind of Xiaoyu that is like chicken ribs, which can allow one species to master the language and part of the wisdom of another species after drinking, but the flaws are relatively large, and there is not much practical use。
The entire continent is an intelligent race of half-orcs, and the language they use is generally a lingua franca except for the slight differences in the dialects of various places, and there is no need for the existence of Xiaoyu at all.
As for other species, most people are not so self-sacrificing to help other races vigorously develop.
What's more, the price of Xiaoyu's potion is too high, and the cost of almost one-for-one highlights its impractical value, killing people of the same race to make potions that are convenient for other species, hehe.
In addition, Jerome, the pharmacist, is still very unprofessional, he has always been angry about his expulsion from the magician team, and his heart and mind want to surpass the current magician in this regard, so the various experiments he did were a little unprofessional, if it weren't for his aristocratic status to give him enough financial support, I am afraid that he would have been forced to recognize the facts, instead of maintaining this naivety and continuing to cling.
The magic runes in his house were set up to show his knowledge of magic without being able to declare his identity as a magician, and in general, they were more decorative than practical, so that a single rune would not have a more practical effect at all.
This indescribable personality is convenient for Ho Jun, who only needs to express a little admiration to be able to get more knowledge about magic from Jerome, who is tireless in magic and his collection of books is obviously rich enough.
He Jun just "hit it off at first sight" and lived at Jerome's house, and the result was only different from what he expected, but the result was still the same.
