Chapter 62: Father's Blessing

"Father, do you think I should ......"

"Go where you need to go. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Rudolph abruptly interrupted his son.

Roland was slightly surprised, and asked him tentatively, "You mean, I should go to ......?" ”

Rudolph smiled and told him directly: "Of course I went to the mountains of Lucia, silly boy, I am your father, how can I let you be controlled by others." ”

Roland suddenly felt a stone in his heart fall to the ground, and at the same time worried about Rudolph's decision.

"How are you going to turn down the invitation of the Marquis of Canaan?" Roland had to consider the consequences of angering the Zion family, which could lead to a rift in his father's cooperation with the Marquis, and the loss of a large grant from Canaan, leaving the Korath army in a difficult position.

Rudolph smiled faintly and said calmly, "Unprincipled compromise will only lead to increased exploitation, and if Joshua Zion is angry at me for refusing his unreasonable demands, it will only prove that this man has no vision, and I will never regret the loss of such an ally." ”

Roland nodded secretly, dad is dad, and what he says is always so confident.

After a moment of contemplation, he gradually realized where his father's confidence came from. This war on the Gasus Plateau completely defeated the Orc tribe of the Far East, Rudolph has become a national hero in the eyes of the Far Easterners, and has the full support of the Dwarves of Icewind Valley, and his influence is in full swing, even if he can't tear his face with the former gold lord, at least he doesn't need to look at the other party's face everywhere.

The increase in strength also improved Rudolph's ability to play with the Marquis of Canaan.

The letter from the Marquis of Canaan was actually a temptation, and Rudolph's categorical refusal was tantamount to drawing a bottom line, if the Marquis of Canaan did not want his investment to come to naught, he could only pinch his nose and admit this bottom line, and continue to talk about cooperation on this basis.

Just as the Marquis of Canaan, knowing that it might anger the Koras father and son, still made excessive demands in his letter, Rudolph would not have any "moral guilt" for rejecting the idea of the financier.

Rudolph knocked the ashes from his pipe, pulled open the desk drawer, took out three things and a book, and laid them on the table.

Roland immediately sensed a strong magical aura mixed with luck rushing towards him, and couldn't help but squint his eyes, the "Pupil of Destiny" opened, and the bottom of the three magic items on the table was in full view: a primary magic item, a high-level magic item, and a ...... It is a legendary-level amulet.

"You go to the north this time, you will inevitably encounter hostile forces on the way, I have no time to accompany you, I can only prepare a few things for you to defend yourself, you have to be more careful on the way, try not to provoke right and wrong." Rudolph admonished earnestly, and Roland's nose was slightly sour, and he nodded silently.

Rudolph first picked up a crystal ball the size of a ping-pong ball and said to Roland: "This is a communication stone, you can send a letter through it every day, no matter where the other party is, it can be delivered instantly, I also have a communication stone in my hand, remember to contact me in time if there is anything, and I will reply to you as soon as possible." ”

"Rest assured, I will write to you often." Roland took the Communication Stone from his father's hand.

This small philosopher's stone is like a mobile phone on the earth, and it is a model of the magic civilization of the world of Varess in the folk application, compared to its powerful interdimensional communication function, the price of 1400 gold coins can be described as a great value!

Rudolph picked up a beautiful white gold ring from the table, and looked at it carefully, silently, as if pondering some problem.

Roland had already recognized it as a "Freedom of Movement Ring" worth up to 40,000 gold coins, of perfect quality, capable of continuously blessing the wearer with the four-ring spell "Freedom of Movement".

There are tens of thousands of spells in the world, and there is no clear standard to measure which is stronger or weaker, the imagination of the caster and the environment in which they live are the key. However, it's important to acknowledge that some spells do have a wider range of applications than spells of the same level, and are therefore more popular.

Roland's memory of "Protecting against Evil" is the best of the one-ring spells, and the spell "Freedom of Movement" is the "top student" of the four-ring spells, and if the top ten practical spells in the world of Varess are selected, it should have a place.

First of all, as the name suggests, this spell allows the blessed person to move and attack normally regardless of the influence of natural and magical obstacles, and the rough roads, muddy swamps, and slippery roads covered with snow and ice cannot hinder your steps; The Cobwebs, Greasy Techniques, Heavy Mist Techniques, Entanglement Techniques, and Slowness Techniques will not be able to hinder your movements, even if you are hit by the Immobilization Technique or the Paralysis Technique, you will still be alive and kicking for the duration of "Freedom of Movement".

Not only that, but "freedom of movement" can also be used underwater, allowing you to walk and attack normally without being affected by water pressure and undercurrents; The most perverted thing is that this spell can also help you escape the grappling, even if the other party is a ghost animal covered with tentacles, and he will not want to catch the corner of your clothes.

Rudolph pondered for a moment, then took another ring from his hand. This is also a "freedom of movement ring", but it is cast in brass and has a relatively simple style.

Rudolph put both rings on the table and said to his son quietly, "Here are two rings of freedom of movement, choose one." ”

Roland heard his father's words, which was clearly a test.

He quietly opened the Pupil of Destiny and identified the old and new rings, only to find that the spell effect of the old ring was not a constant release, but could only be activated with a spell, and could be turned off by reciting the same spell again.

There is no time limit for both rings, and the new one is better because there is no need to start the command, and there is no need to protect the body 24 hours a day, so you don't have to worry about encountering emergencies.

However, Roland did not hesitate to choose the old ring.

A smile tugged at the corner of Rudolph's lips, "Tell me why you chose the old ring." ”

Roland laughed dryly, "Father, let me tell you a story, once upon a time there was a woodcutter who accidentally dropped his axe into the spring, and said that it was too late and that was fast, but I heard a dingdong, and a beautiful fairy came out of the spring, holding a golden axe and a silver axe in her hand......"

Rudolph's brows gradually furrowed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but slap it on the table, and said angrily: "Come on, don't talk nonsense with me, tell the truth!" ”

Roland shrugged: "Because the first ring is a constant freedom of movement, it can only benefit me alone, which is a big hidden danger for the cavalry." ”

It is true that the spell "freedom of movement" is very versatile, but its greatest value for cavalry is that it can ignore the ground conditions and charge at full speed regardless of the rough and bumpy thorns, but please note that it is the "horse" that charges, not the person on horseback, and if the "freedom of movement" can only be blessed by the cavalry itself, how can the mount move freely on the complex battlefield?

So Roland chose the second ring: the Command Activator.

Some people may ask: what is the point of having an extra startup instruction? How does it benefit the horse if you activate the ring, cast the target or lock on to yourself?

Yes, it's usually useless, but don't forget Roland's extraordinary profession.

Whether it is a paladin or a black guard, after the professional level reaches level 5, you can summon a special special mount, whether it is the paladin's celestial war horse, or the black guard's purgatory war horse, they are all magic beasts, and one of the great benefits of signing a contract with the master is "spell sharing": the mount owner casts spells on himself, and the mount can also benefit at the same time.

This is the purpose of Roland's choice of the command ring: when he activates the command and releases "freedom of movement", not only himself can move freely, but also the war horse under his crotch can move freely, so that he can climb mountains and mountains and overcome obstacles and obstacles.

When he explained his train of thought to his father, Rudolph smiled with relief. Even though he had accepted Roland's plan to visit, he was still a little unimpressed and worried about his son's adventure, but now listening to him say this, his heart is much more relieved - when a young man embarks on a journey, the most reassuring thing for a father is not his son's courage, but his calmness.

The third magic item Rudolph prepared for his son was a death amulet. The amulet contains a legendary magic called "Accidental Resurrection", which helps the wearer to stop when he is attacked with a lethal attack, and then the energy released by the amulet will instantly restore the wearer's health.

Roland wears this talisman, which is equivalent to an extra life, and the value is self-evident.

The last gift his father gave him was a book, an Upanishads.

"This Upanishads is a research notebook written by my own hand, which records an original martial art, which is the crystallization of my life's work, and you can take it back and practice it well."

Roland took the Upanishads from his father's hand, and listened to his entrustment, and his heart became more and more moved, and he said: "Don't worry, I will definitely carry forward this mastery!" ”

Rudolph smiled with relief, and finally told his son, "Remember to say hello to Master Merlin and Pastor Boris before you go on the road, they also prepared some things for you to use on the road, magic scrolls and potions, etc., in addition, Boris has a student named Dmitry, a young and promising Pastor Sindra, who is now preaching in the area of Perron Canyon, and is more familiar with the situation in the north, Boris will tell you how to get in touch with him, and you can save a lot of trouble with him when you walk with him." ”

"Okay, I'm going to visit the two teachers." Roland clenched his fists across his chest, and finally saluted his father, "Please take care!" ”

Rudolph's eyes were slightly moist. He didn't return the military salute, walked over and hugged his son vigorously, patted him on the shoulder, choked up and sent a father's blessing.

"Go, my son, and good luck!"
