Chapter 419: The Statue and the Hilt of the Sword (Ask for a Monthly Pass, Ask for a Subscription, Ask for a Recommendation) The Monthly Pass is so miserable, go home tomorrow
As soon as Soram returned to the Palme d'Or last night, he stuffed a bunch of spell books for McCarthy, and until this morning, when Soram got up, the old mage was still reading the books hungrily in the study.
Solam is going to let McCarthy take over Lazag's this time, anyway, he also has a 13th career level, this kind of thing should not be difficult.
After a while, McCarthy walked in with red eyes. Don't get me wrong, the old man didn't cry, but stayed up all night reading a book, so it's normal for his eyes to be red.
After seeing McCarthy, Solam said to Lazag: "Look, can I let McCarthy go?" ”
As soon as he saw McCarthy, Lazag immediately nodded and said, "No problem, Master McCarthy is fully competent, and he will definitely find those bastards." In fact, Lazag's heart was not as satisfied as he appeared on the face.
McCarthy is a person that Lazag actually knows, but it doesn't matter. If McCarthy could come out to help him before, he would definitely be happy, after all, McCarthy is not weak.
But now, in Lazag's opinion, Solam is completely perfunctory. Solam can defeat McCarthy and make him sign a contract of servitude, which is obviously better than McCarthy. Soram himself didn't make a move and let his men do it, how could Lazag be satisfied?
However, Lazag is a thoughtful person, and even if there is dissatisfaction, he will not show it in front of others, besides, now that McCarthy has made a move, it is much better than not getting anything.
Lazag could see clearly that Solam was not ready to agree just now, but he didn't know that something had happened, so Soram changed his attention, so he changed his mind and asked McCarthy to help him.
Most likely, the hilt of the sword made Soram change his mind, and it was clear that there was something wrong with the hilt. However, Lazag didn't have any special thoughts about it, and he was ready to lose it if he could take out the hilt.
He has owned this hilt for so many years, and he still hasn't figured out why, so even if there is really any secret about this hilt now, he has no interest, what is really important for him now is to find out who is behind it and restore the public's confidence in him.
"McCarthy, you follow him, he will tell you what is going on, you just need to find the disappeared slaves according to his request, and torture the people behind them, and you can come back."
Seeing that Lazag had agreed, Solam gave McCarthy a rough explanation.
"No problem, then, my lord, can I bring those books?" McCarthy happily agreed to Solam's request, but he made one of them.
McCarthy was not willing to leave those books at all, and there was so much knowledge in those books that Soram gave him yesterday that he didn't know about it, which was too important for McCarthy's promotion, and if he could, he would hardly want to leave those books for a moment until he had learned them all.
"Yes."
Although Solam has always been educated, he said that knowledge is very precious, especially books, and must be kept properly. However, Soram's access to this knowledge is too easy, leading to Soram's lack of a deep understanding of the fact that knowledge is precious.
So Solam felt that McCarthy's request was nothing, and readily agreed. This made McCarthy very happy, knowing that Solam's style is simply a waste in the eyes of others, and knowledge is precious, and the books that record it are even more precious.
It is a shame to let people take books away at will like Solam, and you must know that many people who have a book collection have a hard time lending books to others to borrow, and even if they borrow books, they can't copy them, let alone take them away.
After that, Soram sent Lazag and the others away as fast as he could, and then Soram quickly picked up the broken hilt.
Solam first performed an "identification technique" on it, but the information given by the identification technique was simple.
Equipment Name: None
Equipment History: None
Equip Effect: Once a day "Powerful Restoration" (a level 7 divine spell that heals all temporary ability damage to allies within range, removes all negative effects, and removes fatigue and confusion)
After that, it's all the information.
There are only two possibilities for this to happen, one, that the hilt of the sword is like that, and two, that the information is covered up.
The first possibility is, of course, nonsense, how can this hilt have such a strong magical effect, how can it be that there is no information at all? So Solam thinks the second possibility is very likely.
As for who covered up the information about the hilt of the sword, Soram seemed to have a clue.
So Soram took out the dimensional belt he had used before from the spider armor and took out a statue from it!
It's the statue of the dark girl Elistra that Philip gave to Soram! The one worth 7 million gold coins.
In the past, Solam had always felt that this statue was a work of art, at most a very expensive and expensive work of art. But it wasn't until just now that Soram realized that the statue was not as simple as it seemed, although its surface was not as simple as it was.
And what made Soram realize that it was not simple was the broken hilt, which Soram didn't feel much when he first touched the hilt, until Soram came into contact with the hilt for the second time when he was preparing the contracts to put back in the box.
He felt the throbbing of this statue, and then a series of actions of Soram made the throbbing of this statue more and more intense, which made Soram completely sure that this sword hilt had something to do with this statue.
Now Solam has taken the statue out and found that it has now returned to the state of a dead thing! Solam used various methods to find that the statue still did not respond.
In the end, Soram had to put the hilt of the sword on the side of the statue, and sure enough, as soon as the hilt was placed on the side of the statue, the statue changed.
The statue suddenly began to emit a very soft glow.
This light is very similar to the light of the moon, it is not strong at all, and there is no discomfort even when looking directly.
With the appearance of the light, the hilt of the sword also changed, and I saw that the hilt of the sword actually emitted the same light, and at the same time, the hilt of the sword also swayed and floated up.
Just as Soram was stunned, suddenly the light of two things burst out at once, and at the same time, the hilt of the sword rushed towards the statue at great speed, which caught Soram off guard, and he didn't even have time to react.
I saw that the hilt of the sword hit the statue at once, but it was not bounced off, but as if it had fallen into the water, it plunged into the statue at once, and then disappeared without a trace.....
Startled by this turn of events, Solam hurried over to see what was going on.
Solam came to the statue and found that the statue had not changed at all, only the light emitted from the statue was a little brighter, and nothing else had changed, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
After a few moments, the light on the statue disappeared completely, and it became exactly the same as before. Solam did not give up, and hurriedly tried to test the statue in various ways, but the result was still in vain.
The statue is still the same statue! Soram even uses the "Communicate" ability to find that it's still a normal statue, still a dead thing!
"It's a big loss! Anyway, it's a powerful magic item, and after you swallow it, you don't react at all? ”
This result made Solam half angry! Destroying a powerful magic item, but no benefit at all, Soram thought he had encountered a legendary adventure at first, but what happened? It's a big loss.
But in a sense, Soram really had an adventure. Nonsense, whose statue can still swallow magic items? Isn't this an adventure? It's just not the slightest benefit.
In the end, Soram tried countless methods, but to no avail, and just as Soram was about to give up, suddenly the statue began to glow again, and Soram was startled, thinking that the statue was trying to swallow something.
But after waiting for a long time, this statue actually spit out a gem! The gem was not large, only the size of a fingernail on a little finger, and it had a soft glow on it, just like the one emitted by the statue just now. After spitting out the gem, the statue returned to its motionless state of dead object.
Solam carefully picked up the gem, looked at it carefully, and finally used "identification" to find that this gem was actually a magic gem.
The "Healing Stone" has a "Powerful Healing Technique" once a day, and there is no other information. This gem was not any of the gems that Soram had ever heard of, it was clearly some kind of gemstone.
Solam took this gem and looked at this statue a little inexplicably, could it be that this statue, just for this, devoured the magic sword hilt?
After thinking about it for a long time, Soram still gave up the inquiry, he really couldn't figure out what was going on, anyway, he could be sure of one thing, this statue was definitely not ordinary!
Next, Soram put this matter behind him for the time being, and was ready to ask him the next time he met Philip, did he know some information about this statue, after all, it cost so much money to get this statue in the first place, is it really for painting?
For now, Soram had to find a way to set this gem in something, otherwise it would be easy to get rid of such a large gem. And the "Quenching Orb" that I got from McCarthy yesterday also has to be dealt with.
Originally, at the beginning, Solam was going to inlay the Quenching Orb in a ring, but after thinking about it, Soram still gave up, such a famous treasure as the Quenching Orb, if it was inlaid in the ring, it would be too easy to be seen, and it would cause some unnecessary trouble.
Instead, I set this "healing gemstone" in the ring, which can be considered, but I basically don't know this gemstone anyway.
Solam decided to put the Quenching Orb on the pendant originally inlaid with the "Blood Gem", and the Blood Gem could be set on the bracelet. This precious gemstone is of course close to the body.
Now that he thought of it, Soram immediately began to do it.
He first found a ring and a bracelet from the spider armor, most of Mozart's collection was here, so there were some magic items in it, but most of them were half-finished or didn't quite fit Soram, so Soram didn't touch them much.
The rings and bracelets that Soram took out this time are actually semi-finished products, and this time Soram plans to rely on this opportunity to see if he can complete these two magic items by the way.
