Chapter 237 - Finding the Reading Codex
Wiel and Eltail arrive in a stone house, where they find a fireplace that shouldn't be there.
Elitaire spotted a few of the mage's records, and just as Eletel tried to find clues to the notes, Veel's screams caused her to run over.
"What happened? Vere? Footsteps sounded, and Elettair came to Wiel's side, and saw the crockpot that had been kicked aside and was still shaking. What happened to you? β
"Nothing...... Hiss~ There's a skeleton stuck in there. Vere pointed to the fireplace, rubbing his head with his teeth in a daze.
"Skeletons?" Elettair glanced curiously at Vere, then came to the bottom of the fireplace and looked into the chimney of the fireplace, "Huh?! Elletair was also shocked, but was mentally prepared because of Wiel's reminder.
Then, a burst of magic appeared on Elettel's body, "I'll take a look...... Over here. "The female swordsman obviously used the magic of a cat's eye, and the darkness in the chimney could not be dispelled by the dim lampstones around her." Here, there seems to be something...... This skeleton is stuck. β
Eltayr first stretched out a hand and tried to pull the skeleton out, but found that the skeleton seemed to be stuck there, and there was no way to pull it out in such an awkward position.
Then Ver saw that the swordswoman had taken out the dagger she had given him, held it in her hand, and leaned inside.
"Whoa, whoa......" Along the hand of the female swordsman, many bones fell. I see it...... Over here. β
With that, Eltail put the dagger back on his waist and stretched one arm into it.
"What's there?"
Eletair pulled his hand out, and a long staff fell out of it, and Eletair pulled it out from under his cigarette pipe.
Eltael's eyes lit up, "Wiel, I didn't expect to find it here...... That's what the texts are written about that can help you. β
"This wand is the one that the mage never leaves in his hand, I originally wanted to come to his secluded place to try my luck, but I didn't expect it to really let us find ......"
The air froze for a moment.
"Uh...... Didn't you say...... Did the mage disappear into the mountains? β
"Uh...... That's exactly what the book says...... Over here...... It's a deep mountain, right? β
Their eyes looked at the chimney of the fireplace, and they both silently mourned for the mage they were looking for.
"What's the use of this wand?"
"This is a staff that allows people to approach what they think, as it is written in the texts...... However, its use can only be found by yourself, and it is not recorded in the classics. β
Wiel looked at the object that Eltael was holding in front of him and reached out to take it. Silently said in my heart, "...... Random teleportation wand? β
Looking at the wand in front of him, a strange purple gem set on it, and the definition given in the starvation system, Weir was silent, and said secretly in his heart. "Beware of the Classics Killing People......"
"You do seem familiar with this place."
"It's all written there, and I'm just trying to find them."
"I'm curious, why didn't the people who wrote these classics take these things out and use them for their own use?"
"Who knows? That's far too long. β
The corners of Will's mouth twitched slightly, and he put the 'random teleportation staff' in his hand behind him, which was also a good thing for him, if he really couldn't get out of here and didn't find the door, it would be a big deal for him to use this staff.
"Wait a minute!" β¦β¦ Vere looked at the fireplace, "It's better to be cautious with this thing." β
"Anyway,...... Although that senior died a little aggrieved, if he hadn't died here, we probably wouldn't have been able to find this thing. β
"You're right." Elletair patted the dust of the fireplace on her body and stood up. "Now that I've found what I promised you, come and help me find it, the mage's codex."
"Could it be on that skeleton too?" Vere said. "If you have a wand that doesn't leave your hand, maybe the codex that doesn't leave your hand will be there."
Elletair shook his head, "A mage's codex is usually kept in a place he thinks is safe, and most of what is written in it is trimmed...... And the most important thing is that I didn't find any codex there just now, otherwise I would have taken it out together. β
"Where would that be?" Weir asked.
"It's documented...... Alas, it's all your ......" said as Eletail remembered what he had just seen, "Wait a minute, or may you use that wand......
"No...... I don't know how to use it, and until we find the right way to use it, we'd better not mess with this staff. Not wanting to get stuck in some strange place, Wiel flatly rejected Elletel's offer.
Eletel paused, "Okay...... I'm almost going to find it anyway. With that, he turned and walked back towards the notes.
Wiel followed, and saw the female swordswoman crouching there, carefully looking at a note in a corner.
ββ¦β¦ Well...... In, in. Eltael stood up, and then walked towards a bookshelf in front of him.
"Start here...... 1οΌ2οΌ3γ β
"Oh? Looks like you've found the codeword. Weir followed the swordswoman and watched her walk towards the room she had just had.
β15οΌ16οΌ17β¦β¦ This is it. With each step, Elettel counted a number, until she stopped when she reached a certain number.
The two men looked to the side, only to find that it was the humble cubicleβthe thatched hut.
"Are you sure you're here?"
"Don't talk, I have to remember...... 1,2,3......" This time, Elletair had only counted a few before coming to a stop next to the cubicle.
Then, she turned around and counted to the compartment, pressing it down to a plank, and then the female swordswoman sprinkled the crystal shards used to enchant the longsword from a small bag around her waist.
In Weir's eyes, the lines of a sacred tree crept out on the plank, and then, under the bed, a faint sound of stone was heard.
Wiel walked over and pulled all the old cloth from the bed to the ground, and Elletair came to the bed, and a small square appeared on the flat stone, and there was something in it, and Islay took it out.
"That's it...... The mage's codex. Elletaire's face was filled with excitement. Great......"
As he spoke, he eagerly opened the codex.
And Ver was surprised to find that as the magic on the cubicle gradually faded, the little grid on the bed disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Curiously, Wille went up and wiped it, knocked there, but found nothing. It's as if there was never a small compartment for a codex.
"Awesome, something that is hidden in this way...... Ordinary people can't find ......" Will felt that although the mage was a little aggrieved to die, just like this secret grid, his methods of hiding things were really remarkable.
Including himself, of course.
"How's it going, have you found anything? β¦β¦ We haven't found a way out yet, and we don't know how long it will take, so we should go back soon. β
"This ...... How is this possible?! Elletair exclaimed.
Will was taken aback, "What's wrong?" β
