Chapter 24: Changes

He observed the halo of light circulating on the staff's imprint, and recalled the staff's description:

"This staff of Brin is described as the legendary mage Brin's first staff with his own personality after he failed to advance to the epic and became an alchemist. It recharges automatically and can be used by anyone. The upper limit for a single energy storage is three small freezes, after which it needs to be recharged. ”

"The problem is with this auto-charge. What is the mechanic of this auto-recharge? Like a solar charging panel that recharges by absorbing some kind of special energy from around it? Since it's magic energy, it should be a magic element, right? ”

"I remember Mark looking up a little bit of the magical element in the ancient texts."

In the Age of the Gods, there was indeed a thin element of magic circulating in the air.

The caster is able to absorb magical elements and transform them into magical power, unleashing extraordinary powers known as magic.

But after Ragnarok, the magical elements in the air precipitated into the ground and converged into special leylines, gradually forming a stable product of magical energy, which is now widely used as an energy source.

The magic essence is efficient and stable, but it cannot be absorbed by the human body, and the caster has since withdrawn from the stage of history, and mankind has entered the era of magic technology.

Recalling this, Su Xian suddenly understood something.

"Since there is no longer a magical element in the air, it is naturally impossible for this staff to make something out of nothing and automatically recharge...... Charged? ”

He was suddenly stunned again, looking closely at the two dim marks on the staff.

Even though the charging speed is really slow, one of the sigils does have a slight glow at the tip!

This means: It's auto-charging!

"The magic element has returned?"

A few thoughts quickly swirled through my head.

Su Xian combined his knowledge of geography in junior high school and realized a possibility.

"The magic element precipitates into the ground to form the leyline magic element, and after the magic element is used, it volatilizes and turns back into the magic element, is this a cycle?"

"I don't understand, but it's a subject worth studying."

He cleared his mind and put the question aside for a moment.

In addition to this, the description of the Bollinger Staff reveals a message.

"Legendary promotion epic? This should be the ranking of spellcasters in Brin's era, but I don't know what ranks are there before the legend and after the epic? ”

He didn't think about it anymore, none of this was a priority.

Although Leanwar is completely dead, his corpse has mutated, and if it is not disposed of, it will definitely be eaten by rats in the sewers, and those rats who have eaten his flesh will probably also be infected and cause mutation!

And not only the corpse of this Leanwar, but also the remaining remains of the wild dog in front of him, must also be disposed of.

The best way to do it – it's still fire!

"It seems that I can't escape the name of the arsonist."

Although he felt helpless, he still acted quickly.

……

Half an hour later, Su Xian walked out of the underground pipe with a lamp and appeared on the edge of the river.

The bodies of both humans and dogs were cremated, but the whole incident did not end there.

Part of the puzzle has been solved, but more puzzles have been solved.

A dark purple moon was reflected on the surface of the river, and as the water rippled and undulated, he kicked out a stone, and the purple moon shattered.

The world is changing.

He knew this from the first day he first came here.

But it doesn't make any difference to him.

Because this world was not his world in the first place.

All "changes" and "non-changes" are new and strange to him, as well as mysterious and weird, all the same.

……

The night moon is hazy, and the cold gauze covers the body.

Su Xian avoided the main road of Gergett 8th Street, walked between Gang Lane, and as he passed the downstairs of Professor Barker's rented house, he glanced up slightly, and then continued on his way.

Soon, he returned to his rare antiquities shop.

It's not too late.

The decorator is still working.

"Have you had dinner?"

There should be politeness.

The decorators said that they hadn't eaten, but when Su Xian said that he wanted to invite them to dinner, they all shook their heads, saying that they had eaten at noon and would forget it at night.

Su Xian smiled, then turned around and went to Billy's Restaurant, ordered food to pay for takeaway, and did it in one go.

After inheriting Mark's wealth, although he is not particularly rich, he basically does not need to worry about money for a few years.

As for a few years later, the money will only increase!

Although the decorators had refused before, they were all very happy to eat the takeaway when the restaurant staff brought it to them.

This person sometimes has to say something insincere.

If they don't refuse, they will appear insatiable, which will have a negative impact on the reputation of the renovation team.

Su Xian chatted with the middle-aged man who led the team for a few words, then returned to the restaurant and ate dinner alone.

The restaurant is filled with light pure music, like the murmuring of flowing water, which is quiet and relaxing.

"It's 'Yesterday's Isalai', the world's famous song."

As he ate, he sorted out the whole context of the incident in his mind.

The incident itself was not complicated, and combined with Mark's notes and what had happened so far, he quickly sorted out the context of the incident.

……

July 1.

At one o'clock in the morning, six people gathered to identify the wooden boxes, and dispersed at five o'clock.

Returning to the antiquities shop, Mark translated the words on the seal and had evil thoughts about the wooden box.

A man disguised as Mark sent secret messages to everyone except Mark and Professor Barker.

For the time being, the man disguised as Mark is referred to as the "mystery man".

July 2nd.

At one o'clock in the morning, explorer Leanwar arrived late for some reason, and the mysterious man brought the tomb robber Augusta, the history professor Gallef, and the antiquities dealer Ume into the underground pipes.

Together with history professor Gallef and antiquities dealer Ume, the mystery man snatched Augusta's wooden box and hunted him down himself.

Leanwar, who was late, heard the sound and entered the underground pipes, just in time to see the mysterious man kill Augusta.

Leannewald followed the mystery man and saw that the mystery man killed Ume, and Garif took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Leanwar catches up with Gallef, who, in order to get rid of him, gives him a fake wooden box, which happens to be seen by the mysterious man.

This fake wooden box is probably a sample that he imitated in order to study the carving of the wooden box.

But Leanwar didn't know, and neither did the mystery man.

In order to recapture the wooden box, the mysterious man abandoned Gallef and chose to hunt down Leanwar.

But Gallef was never able to escape the underground pipes.

After the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is there, he meets the real Mark!

Mark was originally looking for Augusta, but when Augusta came out here, he followed him all the way and came here.
