Tidetown is close to the sea, and storms often come in suddenly.

At this moment, there was a strong wind howling outside the hotel, and the sound of the rainstorm was even more rapid, mixed with the sound of the wind crackling and slamming the roof, doors and windows, and there was a damp and cold air pouring in from the crack in the door, blowing people involuntarily giving birth to the illusion of being in the middle of winter, so it was clearly the middle of summer, the fireplace in the hotel hall was still lit, and the vigorous flames licked the pine wood, and from time to time there was a crackling sound.

The worse the weather outside, the more comfortable it feels to sit in front of the fireplace and drink tea and roast the fire, and there are no players staying in a remote town inn like Tidal Town, so the night is very relaxed holding a large cup of chamomile flower tea, comfortably curled up in the chair, listening to the low and slow chanting beside him.

"I don't know how I got back to my residence, but when the maid Su Ya came to open the door for me, she was frightened by my bloody appearance, and her hands holding me were shaking all the time, and she anxiously asked me if I wanted to ask the town pharmacist to help me heal my injuries. I didn't want to tell my whereabouts, let alone be asked about my injuries, so I stopped her very violently, and then lost consciousness and passed out. ”

There was a pause in the recitation, followed by the rustle of a quill on the parchment, and the rubbing of the pages.

The night did not rush, and waited patiently for Adrian to translate the manuscript.

Luckily, the game designer didn't have any problems for her, so she found a manuscript fragment in the Oldland House, which was well maintained by the townspeople, and she was having a headache and couldn't read the manuscript, and when she was going back to Isedan to find Adrian's translation, she met this librarian who couldn't hold back his inquiring heart and came to Tidetown to find clues in person, which saved a lot of time running back and forth.

"When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying in bed with the lamp lit in the room, and it was still night. I thought I had only been in a coma for a moment, but only to find out later that it had been two days. The pharmacist in the town came and treated the injuries on my body for me, and left some potions for Su Ya to feed me on time, as soon as I saw those potions, my heart sank, because the potions are all for the treatment of magical wounds, and the pharmacist knows that I am injured by magic......"

Adrian paused again at this point, but quickly continued: "As a magician with some qualifications and prestige, he was beaten by someone with magic and was seriously injured and unconscious, which is also a sensational news in a small place like Tidetown, and within a few days, it spread through the streets and alleys. When the sheriff heard of this, he visited me himself, and brought me some potions of healing that he treasured, but I knew that he was more concerned about who had wounded me, so before he could ask him, I rebuked him in a rage, accusing him of being a derelict sheriff and of allowing rumors that ruined my reputation to spread throughout the town. ”

Welter apologized to me, and as soon as I saw the glint in his little eyes, I knew that he must have laughed at me in my heart for being hurt like this, and I would not admit it. I just want him to think like this, and even everyone else to think like this, so that no one will guess why I am hiding this, and I can pretend to be insulted and drive away all those who dare to mention it in front of me. Adrian read this, as if in deep thought, and tilted his handsome face slightly, full of jumping firelight and shadows, which lined his violet eyes, and became more and more profound.

Night took a sip of chamomile flower tea, raised her eyes and asked him, "It's over?"

"And a little bit. Adrian came back to his senses, looked at the fragments of the manuscript and read, "I'm not going to tell anyone about this, never!" But I'm too badly hurt to be able to survive this winter and I'm going to return to the arms of the magic elves, so if no one knows about it, who will stop him? Oh no! I wish this terrible thing hadn't happened......

When Adrian finished reading, he handed the fragment of the manuscript to Nightshade, and said with some regret, "This manuscript is only one page, and we can't piece together the whole story." ”

Nightshade took the manuscript fragment and looked at it, put it in her backpack, and thought about it seriously, "But we got a lot of clues. ”

Adrian bowed slightly, "Master Audran, he seems to know the man who injured him. ”

"Not only do you know each other, maybe you know each other very well, between the lines is full of the meaning of maintenance, even the man injured him, he has no resentment, knowing that he was hurt very badly, he is about to die, but he still thinks about how to stop that person. "Inferred, it was Odran who found out that a man he knew well had done something terrible to him, and he tried to stop it, but he didn't succeed, and was severely injured by that man's magic. ”

Adrian said thoughtfully, "So, that man's ability to harness magic is better than that of Master Oldland......

"It's also possible that Oldland was careless, and he didn't expect the man to hurt him, or when he was fighting, he was unwilling to do his best, so he was seriously injured. Nightshade asked, "Do you know which magicians Oldlan has good friends with?"

"This-" Adrian shook his head, "The magicians of that era have all experienced racial melee together, and there are no degenerate ones, and they all have a good relationship with each other, but there are only a dozen of them with the same reputation and reputation as Master Audlan, I can go back to the library and check it again." ”

It's been so long, and the hell knows what to find.

Ye Du didn't spend his mind here, but said: "Don't care who that person is, the previous manuscript mentioned the mysterious disappearance of Tidal Town, and Audran said that he would personally go to the abandoned lighthouse to check, then there must be a close connection between these things, I will go to the lighthouse tomorrow to take a look, maybe I can find some clues." ”

"Then please keep the search going. Adrien smiled softly and said in a somewhat self-deprecating tone, "For someone like to work with old papers, it often brings me great pleasure in digging up old things that have been buried by time. Of course, these things may not be fun for you, and I won't let you help for nothing...... You seem to be an alchemist?"

As he spoke, he took out a roll of parchment, handed it to Yeshi with both hands, and said, "It just so happens that I have this relatively rare potion recipe on me, which was copied from an ancient alchemy book, so you can accept it, and it will be regarded as the reward for my request for you to investigate this matter." ”

Nightshade reached out and took the roll of parchment, unfolded it, and found that it was really a special potion formula.

Endless Wisdom Elixir: Teach you how to prepare this potion, which can increase intelligence by 50 points after drinking, with a duration of 1 hour and a cooldown of 1 hour.

Drink endlessly......

Doesn't this mean that she can drink this potion all the time, which is equivalent to a permanent increase in intelligence by 50 points in disguise? For mages, intelligence affects the damage value of spells, and the higher the intelligence, the higher the spell damage.

Nightlight wanted to learn the recipe immediately, but unfortunately, her alchemy had not yet reached the intermediate level and could not be learned, so she could only look at it and put it back in her backpack.

"I went back to my room and rested. After the night thanked her, she stood up.

"Good dreams. Adrian graciously pulled her chair away, and then watched her go upstairs.

When she returned to the room at night, she didn't rush to rest, but refined all the herbs collected on the way here into potions, but unfortunately she was still 50 points short of proficiency, and her alchemy could reach the intermediate level, but this kind of thing was not in a hurry, she didn't care too much, sorted out the items in her backpack, and fell asleep with the sound of the wind and rain outside.

When she got up early the next morning, Martha, the innkeeper, brought her breakfast and handed her a letter.

When she opened it in the night, she found that the letter had been left by Adrian, saying that she had gone back to Isedan first to wait for the results of her investigation, and wished her good luck.

After reading the letter, she destroyed it and breathed a sigh of relief.

Very good, since she did the task of escorting Dora, she is very reluctant to act with NPCs, otherwise there will be some minor accidents on the road, danger and not freedom, and she can't even ride Xiao Hei, or she will lose the NPC after running at a fast speed.

After eating her breakfast quietly at night, I liked Martha's blueberry muffins very much, so I spent 5 gold coins to learn how to cook this food from her, and then walked out of the inn.

Outside, the rain had stopped, but it was still overcast with a somewhat cold wind.

Instead of rushing to the lighthouse at once, Nightlight rode around the town on Blackie, asking some townsfolk about the magician Odran and the abandoned lighthouse by the sea.

As for the abandoned lighthouse, it seems that everyone has the same statement, that there is nothing peculiar about the lighthouse, and that the lighthouse is located in a remote location, and the people in the town rarely go there, except for the children, who repeatedly like to swim there to play, but they have not heard of anything bad happening.

As for Odlan, in addition to the recognition that he is an outstanding magician, the townspeople's private statements are a little different, because after Odlan was seriously injured and died of injuries, the mysterious disappearance that caused people to be panicked at that time did not happen again, so most people attribute this incident to Odlan, believing that he drove away evil and maintained the peace of Tidetown, but there are also a few conspiracy theorists who believe that Odlan is the creator of the mysterious disappearance, otherwise why did it not happen again after he was injured and died？

There are two completely different theories, and after so many years, the townspeople of Tidal Town are still arguing about the Oldland matter, but those who support the former statement will always put forward a fact that cannot be refuted-

If Odlan's fatal wound was not sustained while fighting evil, then how did he get hurt? There was absolutely no one in the town at that time who could have hurt him!

Nightlight already had her own opinion in her mind, so she wasn't confused by the NPC's arguments, but she also learned the fact that the old magician who claimed to be in his last years on the manuscript was actually very powerful.

Then, at that time, there were probably not a few people on the Solan Continent who could seriously injure him with magic......
