Chapter 265: Analysis
It was dusk, and the tavern in Yarl was lit with candles, and the lights were brightly lit, mingled with the sound of bards playing the harp, and the occasional burst of laughter.
However, the players sitting in the corner of the tavern were not affected by this atmosphere, they sat and drank without making noise, occasionally whispered a few words, and all their attention was focused on one of the NPCs at the same table as them, showing a bit of desertion that did not fit in with the atmosphere of the tavern.
Of course, the players at this table are Yeshi and others, and there are also Qin Shui Xuexi, who has just received a private message from Hanguang and just rushed back from the ruins under the sea to block Adrian's mission, and his two teammates, a table of seven people, and the seven professions of the Terran players have arrived. They were all here waiting for Adrian to finish reading the manuscripts of the letters they had brought out of the stone halls and the ruins of the seabed, so that they could learn from him about the next mission.
Adrian was not lazy, he kept flipping through the various materials piled up in front of him, and from time to time he stopped to think for a moment, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh, raised his head and sighed with some emotion: "So that's what happened." β
"What's going on like this?" The sonorous rose was anxious, and she couldn't sit still for a long time, and immediately asked when she heard the words: "You can make it clear!"
Adrienne smiled at her good-naturedly and said, "I just passed by here when I went to collect old books in various places, and I stopped to look at it when I found that someone in the town was infected with necromantic breath, and I really didn't know that this was the former residence of the great magician Ambrose. Unexpectedly, during the War of the Seals, Ambrose had established a secret mage base here and gathered more than a dozen of the most outstanding mages at that time. Let's collectively study how to seal the Void Rift......"
Hearing this, Ye Se said, "Are these all the things recorded in the materials we brought out?"
"yes. Adrian nodded, pulled out a manuscript, pushed it in front of her, and said, "This manuscript is Ambrose's research journal, and it is clearly written. β
Research Logs......
Nightshade stared at the manuscript twice, and then asked, "Is this manuscript still usable?" I mean, since it's a research journal, it should contain a detailed description of the research process. It just so happens that the seal of the Void Rift has a problem again, and this manuscript should be helpful in repairing the seal, right?"
Hanguang also said, "The stone hall we entered, the four walls and the dome are engraved with magic runes. There is also a large magic array in the middle of the hall, and I don't know if these are also related to the study of the Void Seal. β
If it was related, the seal might be repaired.
However, Adrian carefully inquired about the situation in the Stone Hall from Hanguang, and learned that they had encountered a large number of undead monsters when they entered the Stone Hall. But he shook his head and said, "The runes and magic arrays should have been altered. In the past, it may have been related to the study of the Void Seal, but now, it can only be related to necromantic magic, summoning resentful spirits and dominating the dead, which is what necromantic magic is good at. β
As he spoke, he flipped through the manuscript again, and said to the night, "This manuscript does describe the detailed research process, but you can only use it as a reference, and it is impossible to repair the seal according to the method written in the manuscript." β
"Why?" asked the Ninefold Drunken Goose strangely, "Since the process has been written in detail." Why can't we just do that and mend the seal?"
Adrian's face showed some regret, "Because a lot of the magic used at that time is now lost, and there are some materials to help cast spells. It's hard to find it now, and if you want to find all those spells and collect all the spell materials, it will take you decades, and it may not be successful. β
Decades ......
Maybe the game will be out of service by then......, right?
After hearing this, everyone stopped mentioning this matter with interest, otherwise what if they received a related task? No one wanted to do this doomed task! The night was silent and did not speak again, only put the manuscript in her backpack, thinking that finding this research log could be regarded as an explanation to Langton, as for how to use this manuscript, that was also something that Langton needed to consider, so she didn't need to worry about it.
"There are so many unexpected discoveries. At this time, Adrian opened another stack of materials, and said to them with great interest: "When I was tidying up the library, I often saw some documents mentioning Dallalen, saying that there were many important texts that had been lost buried in the ruins, so I planned for you to look for them, but I didn't expect that these texts you brought back also had information about Ambrose, you look at this manuscriptββ"
As he spoke, he pulled out one of the stacks of documents and placed it on the table, saying, "This manuscript mentions a lot of Ambrose's personal affairs, and that he has a beautiful, intelligent, magically gifted daughter named Caroline......
"Caroline!" Before he could finish his sentence, Sonorous Rose slapped the table and stood up, "Caroline is Ambrose's daughter?"
"That's right, didn't you just say that Caroline was the deceased in this town, but I don't know what she has to do with Ambrose. Adrian grinned happily, revealing a row of white teeth, "Now my unexpected discovery will answer your question, Caroline is Ambrose's daughter." β
Hanguang raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Then do you have any relevant information about Caroline in your hand?"
"Ambrose is so famous, he has always been portrayed and praised as a saint, such a high-ranking figure, people can't imagine that he also has to live an ordinary life, so the books and documents about him record his outstanding contributions to the study of magic, and his heroic deeds that once saved the world of Aislyon, and have little to do with his private life, even if there are some relevant records, I may not be able to see them. Adrian shook his head apologetically, "But I remember that Ambrose suddenly disappeared after the racial scuffle, and I've read some books that study the reasons for his disappearance." One of the accounts mentions his family, saying that his wife and daughter died during that time, and it is speculated that he may have suffered a heavy blow as a result. I found a place to live in seclusion. β
Ninefold Drunken Goose's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it possible that the loss of his family will hit him too hard, and his temperament will change drastically, and he will become a necromancer with cynicism?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he found that everyone was silent, just staring at him, and thinking that he had said something wrong. Immediately embarrassed and apologetic: "Guess, I'm just guessing, if I say something wrong." Assume that you have not heard. β
The hunter Qianmo, who teamed up with Qin Shui Blood, was a shy little girl, and she spoke a little softly, she smiled at the nine-fold drunken goose, and said in a small voice: "You're not wrong." I think your speculation is very close to the truth. β
"But it's useless to just guess. Sonorous Rose sighed and said, "We still have to go back to hand in the mission." If I sue the president of the Thieves Association, the results of my investigation are all speculation, and there is no evidence, and he will have to pull me out. β
"Hehehe, then you guys will slowly have a headache, anyway, our task has been completed. Qin Shui laughed twice, and went to Adrian to ask for the payment for the mission.
However, Adrian is a relatively generous NPC, and I heard that Nightlight needs to investigate the cause of Ambrose's fall. He agreed to help, and said that he would help them look through the books and literature in this area when he returned to the library. If you find a specific record that you can use as proof, write to them and let them know.
In desperation, they had to wait for news at night, as for the haunting incident here in Yar Town, Adrian also had the results of the investigation, he thought that the girl who appeared by the lake was not the boss Caroline they encountered last time in the night, but a reproduction of yesterday's scene summoned by a magic that went back in time, but who was the person who cast this magic, what was the purpose, and where did the necromantic aura infected by the townspeople come from, he still has no clue, and needs to continue to investigate deeply.
Adellian's words, the night and the others did not speak, because as soon as they heard it, they felt that the person who could do such a thing seemed to be unable to find anyone else except Ambrose, otherwise who would have eaten enough and had nothing to do, and came here to use magic to recreate the scene of hundreds of years ago? At present, they don't have the ability to face Ambrose directly, and they can hide for a while, so after settling the wine account, everyone said goodbye to Adrian and left, the three of them are lucky, the task has been completed, they can do whatever they want, and the four of them are unlucky at night, not only are they still clueless about the main quest, but they also have to go to the library again to reply to Dora what happened here.
The group left the tavern and left Yar, and just as the night was about to summon their mounts, they were pulled by the cold light.
Hanguang said to her: "The moonlight is good tonight, and the scenery here is good, why don't we take a walk first and then go back to the main city to hand in the task." β
If you want to take a walk, you can also go away after handing in the task in a while, so why bother at this time?
The night was stunned for a while, I don't know what kind of wind Hanguang suddenly smoked, but the others all showed a look of understanding.
"Oh oh, oh, a walk in the moonlight, it's so romantic!"
"It doesn't matter if you disperse slowly, and it doesn't matter if you scatter to the earth. β
"Let's go first, let's not be here to be a light bulb for you. β
......
After Qin Shui Xuese and the others coaxed a few words, they all knew each other and left quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there were only two people left at the door of Yar Town, Ye and Hanguang, Hanguang smiled slightly, took Yeshi's hand, and led her to-
Cemetery outside town!(To be continued......
