Chapter 33: The Opportunity of the Seal
"The young lady in front, please wait a minute."
Just as Ellie and the others were about to continue their shopping trip, a voice came from behind them, as if calling them.
Ellie turned around and saw a middle-aged uncle running towards him, wearing a leather armor that looked like he was some years old, although it was ugly but it was still good to protect the weaknesses of his body, his brown hair was a little messy, he had a long sword pinned to his waist on the left, a dagger on the right, and a somewhat handsome young man behind him.
Ellie blinked, "Excuse me, are you calling us?" ”
"Yes, beautiful young lady." The middle-aged uncle who ran over showed a smile that he thought was a gentleman.
"What's the matter?" The girl wondered.
"Introduce myself, my name is Vic, Vic Farrel, and this is my son Jack." Vic patted the young man behind him on the shoulder.
"Hello, pretty young lady." Jack said with a smile. This young man named Jack has the same hairstyle color as his father, compared to Vic's somewhat lewd smile, Jack has a more handsome smile, his resolute face makes people look more secure, he is also wearing a leather armor, but it is much newer than his father, but the scratches on it are all over the surface, and he carries a two-handed sword that looks very thick behind him.
"We're adventurers, uh, mercenaries." Seeing that the beautiful girl in front of him was a little puzzled, Vic explained.
"Well, hello." Ellie nodded, thought about it in her mind, and decided that it would be better to introduce herself, after all, the father and son in front of her were also very polite to report their names.
"My name is Alythea, just call me Ellie, this is my senior sister, Catherine." The girl smiled and saluted.
For the etiquette of Lady Ellie, Vic and his son glanced at each other, and had some hope for the purpose of this time, looking at the elegant and polite girl in front of him, it should be the pearl of a certain nobleman, I don't know if he will agree to go deep into the Tamir Forest with him to adventure.
The Catherine senior next to the girl also had an extraordinary bearing, although she was only wearing an Osford standard cadet leather armor, but just standing there had a kind of superior's momentum coming to her face.
Vic has been rejected by many priests, he doesn't want to give up this opportunity, in today's era when most priests choose to join the Holy See of Light, there are very few priests who will join the mercenary group to take risks, and the priests of the Holy See of Light will have their own responsibilities, if you go to the Holy See of Light to poach people, it will be a death.
So the thoughts in his head only swirled for a second, and Vic made up his mind to do his best to convince the young lady pastor in front of him, even though judging by what she was wearing, she was still a student.
"Sorry to disturb you, we're having a little difficulty, I hope Miss Ellie can help us." Vic bowed apologetically.
"As I said just now, we are adventurers, we have devoted our lives to adventures outside, injuries are inevitable, although the Tamir Forest is not as huge and dangerous as the Brill Forest, but there will be some powerful monsters in it, that is, we need a priest, a priest who can help us heal."
"You want me to go with you on an adventure in the forest?" Ellie asked, picking up Vic's words.
"Uh, yes."
"That, me?" Ellie just wanted to agree, but was pulled away by Catherine.
"Tell me what you're going to do." Catherine pulled Ellie behind her, and asked Vic and the others that with her understanding of the girl, Eight Cheng would agree to the request of the two in front of her, and if she didn't stop it, the girl wouldn't know that she had been sold.
"This" Vic frowned, this time entering the forest is very unexpected, and even if they get something, they shouldn't take it by force, so it shouldn't hurt to tell them.
After thinking about it, I decided to say the purpose of this time, but I couldn't say it on this noisy street.
As a result, under everyone's discussion, Vic led everyone to an inn, which is where he and Jack are now staying, and below the inn is the dining room, that is, the tavern and the hotel, although Vic is very reluctant to spend money to live here, but Jack jokes, "If you don't enjoy it after the adventure, maybe the next adventure will be your last." ”
In the inn room, Vic poked his head out of the door, cautiously glanced left and right, closed the door, took out a map, and spread it flat on the table.
Ellie and Catherine looked at it and realized that the map was familiar to them, and it was the map of the whole of Osford.
"If you don't want to go on an adventure with us after listening to what I've said, I hope you don't reveal our purpose, okay?" Vic asked cautiously.
"No problem, I promise you." Catherine replied in the affirmative that she hadn't asked Ellie's opinion, and that Ellie wouldn't have resisted her words anyway.
Vic and Jack glanced at each other, and it seemed that the person in charge was this girl in leather armor, as long as she was convinced, there should be no problem.
"Come and see." Vic beckoned the others to come and told them what they were coming to Osford.
Since the fall of the Goddess of Light, a space-time rift has appeared every few hundred years or so, but it is not a rift with a strong attraction, it will not suck objects in, but will spew out many items, although most of them are residues, but some things are intact.
The things that were intact were studied by the alchemists and turned into things unique to Ellemont, such as the Magic Vision Crystal.
Vic pulls out a book and flips through it for Ellie and Catherine to read.
There were some rectangular patterns drawn on it, and the other half of the pattern seemed to have a lot of buttons drawn on it, which Catherine couldn't read, but Ellie knew, wasn't this the laptop on Earth......
"At that time, it was surprising that this thing was blown out of the crack in the space, because such a large object was not torn by the crack, and then it was taken into the hands of some alchemists, and after research, the current magic crystal was created." Vic teaches the two girls about these things that Vic himself has seen by chance in some very shabby books, and those ancient books record many unknown secrets.
"Can this thing still be used now?" Ellie was intrigued by Vic's words, and if she had some of them, she might be able to use them, but of course only if she could get them.
"I can't." Vic told the truth, leaving Ellie a little disappointed.
"Is it broken?" Ellie continued to ask, maybe there was still a chance to get it, maybe she wouldn't be able to return to Earth, but she could take this computer as a souvenir.
"Yes, the old guys were very curious about this new thing, because no one had ever seen it, no one knew what it was, it could emit an image without using magic, but one day its image disappeared."
[I guess it's out of power] a thought came to Ellie's mind.
"Those alchemists certainly didn't want their research project to stop there, and after testing, they found that there was electricity going through that thing, so they used lightning magic, electric shocks, hoping to make it reappear, and then" Vic paused, looking a little depressed.
"And then?" Ellie answered.
"Then that thing exploded, blowing off one of the Haston's eyes...... Vic continued.
Ellie: "......"
Catherine: "......"
Ellie knew who Huston was, a very good alchemist, and she had seen it in the manuscript she had borrowed from the library.
"So, this time the rift will appear in Osford, and your purpose is to find him in the Tamir Forest?" Catherine asked.
"That's right." Vic replied in the affirmative.
