After finishing the conversation with the whispering lady, Xia Ran opened her eyes again, and found that she had left the basement and appeared in her bedroom.

Even he was well covered with the quilt, lying on the bed, the fire in the fireplace not far away was still burning, and the wood crackled and made a crackling sound, although it was no longer vigorous, but it was still burning solidly.

This shows that not much time has passed, and everything just now is almost like a dream...... But Xia Ran knew what was going on, and he didn't feel that he was stressed, hallucinating or having nightmares.

He lifted the quilt and sat up, raising his right hand, and in addition to a low-level summoning ring of the color of the road, there was also a ring with the brilliance of rubies.

The so-called bleak Ring of Fire Naya, from the world of the Lord of the Rings, is one of the twenty rings of power, and one of the "Three Rings of Elves"-

The so-called "Three Elven Rings" refer to the three magic rings made by the great Noldor elven craftsman and the lord of Eregian, Celeblambo, around 1590 in the second age of that world, named after the three basic elements of water, fire, and air.

Nanya the Ring of Water, Naya the Ring of Fire, and Viya the Ring of Air.

The power of the Three Rings lies not in desire and conquest, but in the protection and healing that elves value. Because the Dark Lord Sauron was not involved in the creation of the Elven Three Rings, the Elven Three Rings were undefiled.

However, because the craftsmanship and knowledge used to make these rings also came from the Dark Lord Sauron, they were also influenced and manipulated by the One Ring, so the elves have been hiding the whereabouts of the Elven Three Rings......

- It doesn't make a difference whether it's dirty or not, the intellectual property is still in someone else's hands, and you can't use it openly at all.

Originally, at the end of the Third Age, because after the Supreme Ring was destroyed, the power of the Ring of Power gradually faded, and the holder of the Three Rings finally left Middle-earth in a white boat, and the Elven Three Rings were also taken away from Middle-earth.

However, it may be because of the wanderers' incursions, at least now it can be confirmed that a ring was taken out of that world, and after several tosses, it fell into Xia Ran's hand.

It's just that I'm sorry for its name of "Ring of Strength" and "Three Rings of Elves", and now it's just a silver-level piece of equipment, and the attribute effect is not necessarily how powerful it is in this quality level.

After all, its power has faded, and the three elven precepts were originally forged out of a desire to "understand, make, and heal", and have been infused with the power to preserve all things from defilement, so that those who hold them can resist the erosion and damage of time and delay the fatigue and aging of the world.

If their power is in operation, they will live on laughter wherever they are, and all things will not be destroyed by the passage of time.

But now, the Fire Ring Naya in Xia Ran's hand has lost that great power, or only part of it remains, such as the first attribute effect...... I don't know if I will have a chance to regain my glory in the future.

To be honest, he would rather not have this thing, if it wasn't for the original owner of this thing that attracted the attention of the demon god, but he couldn't bear it, how could Xia Ran fall into such a predicament now?

"Brother, brother...... Why don't you hold on for a while, this vitality is too cold, I was killed by you......"

He couldn't help but sigh because he was very interested in inheriting someone else's inheritance, but he didn't want to help someone pay it back......

But the situation is stronger than people, and he doesn't even have room to refuse, after all, although Ms. Whispering seems to have a discussion with him, if she really feels that she has a choice, then she is really out of her mind......

In order to be safe, Mephala now did not choose coercion, but inducement, from direct power to magical wisdom, and he generously said, "If you open your mouth, I will satisfy you one by one."

But if you don't eat the toast, then you will definitely be punished.

So no matter what you say, Xia Ran can only accept the temptation, although he actually doesn't know how to pull people into the white space, and there are no invitation codes or anything like that for sale in the exchange system.

However, Mephala will never give up, and even has a plan, Xia Ran's intuition warning tells him that it is very likely that the key to the problem lies in that demon artifact, and sooner or later he will have to pick up that evil and terrible knife......

Therefore, he must also accept Mephalah's gift, because the effect of Naya, the Ring of Fire, can help him resist the power of oppression, domination, and despair - this gift is not only used by the demon god to illustrate his grasp of the situation, but also an invisible threat.

It's probably also some kind of hint, because Mephalah specifically said that this is his sincerity, saying that Xia Ran will be able to use this thing.

However, Xia Ran's major is not the destruction system at all, and the skills related to flames, in addition to the fireball technique, are only the Flame Demon Pet and the summoning of the Flame Attendant, and most of the other abilities are basically not related to the fire element.

He didn't believe that the dignified demon god would not be able to see this clearly, so it was very likely that the true value of this ring was to withstand the side effects of the ebony blade.

- Of course, it is also possible that Mephala can't show his sincerity with anything good, and he casually perfunctory him, but he is just too suspicious and has too much brain supplement...... However, in this case, it does not hurt to be more suspicious......

……

……

Next, Xia Ran's rhythm didn't seem to change.

It is still to go to Longxiao Palace in the morning to clock in and go to work, use the tasks assigned by the lord to carry out alchemy at public expense, improve your alchemy proficiency, and continue to read books by the way, reading various book notes of the former court mage.

In fact, it can't be said that it is the predecessor, after all, Xueman City was not built more than ten years ago, and Barguf is not the first lord, so it is naturally even more impossible for Farenga to be the only court mage.

The precious magic books on the large shelves in the library, all kinds of reading notes, and experiences have also been slowly accumulated.

In the previous days, it was very useful for him...... The reason why I say it was before was because he had gone to the basement every night these days—because he didn't want to eat and drink, and he wanted to show that he had been tempted.

I don't know if it's useful, but at least I can make my attitude clear and make Mephala understand that he agrees to cooperate and doesn't need to use any discordant, violent and bloody coercion.

Judging from the tragic experience of the old brother before, you should know that White Space is not a nanny, and it will not protect everyone all the time.

But originally he just pinched his nose, but after only one time, Xia Ran found out that Mephala was really worthy of the name of the demon god.

He has unfathomable wisdom, he has already mastered the essence of magic, penetrated into the core level of mystery, and in order to give enough benefits to impress Xia Ran, he does not hesitate to teach him a lot of magical knowledge.

Xia Ran's attributes are sufficient, his talent is not bad, and a demon god personally teaches him, and if he changes to the painting style of the Oriental Immortal, that is, the immortal guides the way, even a stubborn stone can be turned into a spirit with wisdom and thinking, and there will never be anything that he can't understand.

Therefore, all the knowledge points are over and over again, from basic to advanced, from simple to complex, he has explored the field of magic at an unprecedented speed in the past few days, greedily absorbing mysterious knowledge.

I don't know how many times higher than the efficiency of the previous half a month of hard self-study, just like a certain pit daddy cloud disk, the download speed of hundreds of K/second before, after opening a super member, the network speed is full......

And also corrected some of the aspects where he had misconceptions before, and some obscure places suddenly became logical and logical, which was obviously correct.

Mephala didn't do anything in this regard, but tried her best to show Xia Ran the most correct path.

Because only in this way will the latter find that the more he delves in, the more insignificant he seems in front of the whole vast and complex mysterious system. His knowledge is like a circle, and the larger the circle, the more unknown parts there are.

It's an incomparably vast field that non-human beings can exhaust...... Since human beings have limits, they must rely on the power beyond humans to have hope, and as long as he still desires true magical wisdom and mysterious sources, he can only use the power of Mephalah.

It's not that Xia Ran didn't know Whispering Lady's intentions, but the option of refusing didn't exist from the beginning, there was only one way in front of him, so it was not surprising that one way went dark.

Anyway, that's it, in the mentality of breaking the jar, he has crossed the name of Winterhold Academy from his itinerary.

The days of concentrating on studying can't last forever, and he also remembers that he still owes some debts, and he has to find a chance to pay them back, and it just so happens that Snow Man City recently released a mission-

In order to rebuild Snowman, a large amount of materials were needed, so a mine that had been closed down a long time ago was restarted.

However, not only was that area far from the city of Snowman, but it was also very unsafe, in the middle of a large mountain in the southeast, and there was no place on the way, and a group of robbers seized it, often raiding in the middle of the delivery of goods......

Deep in the mine is a pre-ancient Nord tomb, which was sealed because such an ancient tomb was dug and awakened to the sleeping undead in the depths of the tomb, and now it is restarted, and this problem is still faced.

These undead of the Gounods are the most troublesome of the things, as some of their elite will roar...... I don't know what kind of crazy era they lived in when they were alive, and dragon roar doesn't seem to be a rare skill.

The most important point is that on the mountain where the mine is located, someone has recently witnessed a report of a giant dragon, which is also a problem that needs to be solved.

Therefore, this mine is really full of disasters and difficulties, and the clean-up task requires exterminating the bandits along the way, clearing the ghouls in the depths of the mine, investigating the traces of the dragon on the peak by the way, and finding a way to repel or slay the dragon if confirmed......

Xia Ran felt that it was very much in line with his requirements, after such a trip, if he was lucky, it was estimated that he would be able to make up the debts he owed by selling the previous dragon blood.
