Chapter 626: The Creator Race
The councillor who put forward this statement shook his head and said: "Wouldn't it be better for us to raise the conditions for accepting the task a little, and require the adventurers to take the task to have enough strength, so that the number of adventurers will not only be much less, but also the quality is good. ”
This method, although it can't eliminate leakage, is a way, at least it can minimize the influence, and there are really a lot of adventurers in Ascatla, even if there are strength limitations, I believe that there will not be too few people who come to take on the mission. However, only if there is enough temptation.
The people here are all smart people, and naturally know this. So one of the members of the six-member council said, "And what is the reward for the task you are preparing?" ”
After speaking, several other members of the six-member council also looked at it, and these remunerations need to be spent by them, so it is natural to discuss them clearly.
"Find the seal and give it a knighthood! It can't be too low, it's too low, and those real masters won't care, and if it's too high, it's too dazzling. My idea is to give the barony the title, as for the territory, that would be too rich, just give some shop industry, it just happens that the market has been sluggish recently, and these things don't cost much. ”
"Baron?!!!" Although Am's nobility is not as expensive as in other countries, it is not a cabbage, and not everyone can buy a nobility.
A baronial title is also worth a lot of money, and even if many big businessmen buy a knighthood, they will only buy a knight, the lowest title within the lord.
The baron is a serious aristocratic class of eight hundred, and the price is not affordable by ordinary people at all, at least hundreds of thousands. Besides, the baronial title, though it sounds nice, is only a name after all, and has no practical meaning, so those shrewd merchants will not spend so much money to buy such a title.
So the people here were a little surprised at first glance, but after thinking about it, they felt that it was nothing, and it was still the same sentence, Am's title was not as expensive as other countries, and they had sold a lot of titles over the years, and they didn't care about one more baron.
"But even so, it's a big expense, and I'm afraid the finances of the council are a little tight." One of the councillors in charge of finance heard this and said with emotion.
Yes, a baron's title, and some inheritance, don't sound like much money, but the problem is that there will not be only one adventurer involved in this task, except for the lucky one who will win the reward, the other adventurers must also be rewarded. That's not a big expense.
And this time, all the adventurers involved have to sign a magic contract, and this magic contract also costs money, although a blank contract is worthless, only a dozen gold coins, but it can't stand a large base. That's another expense.
All in all, this is a huge strain on the already modest parliamentary finances.
"Alas, it's time to do it, you can't care about this little money, spend it! Also, since there will be so many people going down to the sewers, it is better to let those adventurers draw the topography of our sewers by the way, so that we can also have a bottom of the sewers in the future. ”
There are no idiots in the Council of Six, and since spending money is unavoidable, it is better to spend as much as possible.
"Yes, it's a good idea, we've neglected the sewers for so many years, and we have to change it, and by the way, the bonus rating of those adventurers is just the map they spend, lest anyone can't do it."
"Yes, that's a good idea!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
***************
So on that day, the adventurers and some unemployed vagrants in the entire Ascatra were boiling, and the council actually offered such a high reward for the remediation of the sewers!
Baron! That's a barony!
The Council of Six used a pretense here, and they still didn't say anything about the underground seal, only that there was an evil force breeding in the underground sewers, so someone needed to investigate, and by the way, clean up the monsters that were living in the sewers that were becoming more and more rampant.
As soon as this news was released, not only those adventurers were happy, but also those ordinary people were also very happy, after all, there have been dozens of cases of monsters rushing out of the sewers and hurting people in recent days, and it is also a good thing for them that the council can rectify it.
If you don't talk about politics, there are few stupid people, so that their reasons not only minimize the bad influence, but also collect a wave of popularity among the people, the best of both worlds.
However, this has nothing to do with Soram for the time being, and he is now waiting to study the book of Kassa.
Today is the night of the Xuanyue month, as for the blood of the virgin, Solam asked Wahid to do it as soon as he came back yesterday, since the last time he helped the shadow thief get the information, Wahid has already started to establish a gang in the docklands.
Not to mention, Wahid and his brother were born to do this, but in just a few days, Wahid and his gang made a name for themselves in the docklands. As soon as they appeared, more than a dozen people overturned a small gang of dozens of people.
In the next few days, they started fighting every day, and the little gangs they beat would cry and call their mothers, plus they continued to absorb new people, and a newborn little gang was thriving.
So there's no problem with handing over this matter to him, anyway, it's impossible to look at the blood type in this book, as long as it's enough!
In the moonlight of the upper moon, when the blood came into contact with the book, countless words slowly appeared, but the words inside were very obscure, and it took Solam a lot of effort to decipher them all.
I have to say that the period of Nesserel is worthy of the era of the blowout of human magic technology, and it is possible to invent such a powerful spell recognition technique.
Through interpretation, he learned that an important prerequisite for learning this skill is that one must learn one of the oldest languages in the mortal world, the language of the Creator Race!
Because that's the root of all modern magic spells. As long as you can understand most of them, you will be able to tell what the spell is being cast after the enemy has recited two or three syllables.
The Creator Race, the original native race of Torreel, predates dragons and giants, and legend has it that they lived through the Titans.
These intelligent creatures evolved from birds, reptiles, and sea creatures once created an incomparably glorious civilization, but I don't know why most of them disappeared in the end. Even the few that remained, had degenerated into primitive tribal forms, becoming savage and bloodthirsty.
The legendary origin of the Nessera magic civilization, the "Scroll of Nessreel", is the knowledge that the creators recorded in their own writing, and legend has it that almost every mage can interpret different meanings from that kind of text.
However, those words and languages have long since been lost, and there are very few creator words that the current mages have really mastered.
Fortunately, the Book of Casa contains a complete record of the creator's method of interpreting the words and language. That said, it is very difficult to decipher the words of the Creator Race, as they are full of magic, and the slightest mishap can have unpredictable consequences.
Most of the Maker races use a unique hieroglyph, which is different from the common language, elven language, dwarven language and other alphabets, but a bit similar to Chinese, so in this regard, Solam has a big advantage.
However, it is not very useful to know how to write in optics, and you have to learn how to listen, and it would be better if you could speak.
As the saying goes, knowledge is power. In order to gain more combat effectiveness, Solam began to diligently learn the thirteenth foreign language. You must know that he now has quite a lot of languages, including Chinese and English brought from the earth, and then learned the lingua franca, orc language, ancient Naisian language, ancient elven language, elven language, celestial language, abyssal language, dragon language, and purgatory language through learning.
This includes reading, writing, listening, and one is not bad, and if you put it on the earth, you can definitely count it as a top talent. Solam sometimes admires himself when he thinks about it.
Of course, even in the continent of Faerun, there are not many scholars and spellcasters who can master so many languages, and most of them rely heavily on the spell of "fluent language" to communicate with unfamiliar races.
"Reading magic" and "language literacy" are essential abilities for every mage, the former allows you to read many magical documents written in secret languages, and the latter can understand the meaning of most languages.
However, this kind of translation is quite rough, just like the machine translation of subtitles, which can easily cause some errors or ambiguities, and even appear to be in the opposite direction.
Especially when dealing with demons, if you don't know purgatory, then they will give full play to their talent for chewing words, and when a contract is signed, maybe you don't even own your soul.
That's why Soram insists on learning so many languages. Not to be fooled, in the dangerous Feren is a very important thing, Soram does not want to be sold one day.
However, he had a lot of trouble learning the thirteenth language, and many people knew that the creator race was amphibians, birds, and deep-sea fish, and their vocal organs were certainly different from those of humans. It's okay to read it, but it's impossible to say it.
But it's not impossible to solve, magic is this good, you can always do something that is not easy to do, looking through the spell model in his own brain, Soram found a very cold spell. Level 2 Transformation is the magic "Universal Throat".
This magic is capable of changing the shape of the vocal organs at any time according to the caster's needs, in order to simulate almost all sounds in the world, from ultrasound to infrasound, from subtle mosquito sounds to the roar of giant beasts.
Soram kept the spell on himself. In this way, the vocalization of the creator's language is not a problem. After solving the problem of pronunciation, he plunged headlong into the language comparison table of the Book of Casa and began to study like crazy.
