Chapter 13: The Book of Discernment
"Lord Akara, please estimate the value of these magical equipment."
Lan Wu took out one magic piece after another from the space bag and placed them on the table. Seventeen pieces of various pieces of equipment glowed with a faint blue light, and they were particularly glamorous in the candlelight. The space bag given by Acala is not large, only five cubic meters. It was five times larger than the space bag he had purchased from other professionals.
"So much magical equipment?" Akara was surprised to see so much magical equipment.
"I've always had good luck." Lan Wu pushed Flora in front of him: "I haven't completed Lord Kasha's mission yet. She's already sent me a rogue. ”
Akara smiled. She nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "It seems that your luck is really good." Even Kasha will hire Flora to you. So let me take a look at these things that you've brought. ”
With that, Akara turned and walked over to the workbench and picked up a thick book from it. She returned to her table and smiled as she explained, "This is an ancient magical artifact that Kane found in an ancient ruin. He named it the Book of Discernment. ”
Lan Wu's eyes lit up suddenly. The Book of Identification, which is one of the essential items for playing Dark, and the Book of Town Teleportation are the two basic loadouts of the player's adventure.
The Book of Discernment is thick. The front of the book is engraved with a six-pointed star magic circle that covers almost the entire page. The magic array is dotted with mysterious runes of unknown meaning, and it seems that the whole book exudes a quaint and mysterious feeling.
Under Lan Wujiong's blazing gaze, Akara picked up a blue fist sword and placed it on the magic array on the front of the Book of Identification. The magic array is full of brilliance. Akara picked up his sword and set it aside, flipping through the Book of Identification. The white pages were lined with extra handwriting.

Lan Wu's eyes straightened when he saw it. This book of discernment is perfect for you. It's not like in the game, which can only be equipped with recognition scrolls. The book of recognition in front of him directly replaced the status of the identification scroll.
One piece of equipment was placed in the magic circle of the Book of Identification. Looking at the identified magical equipment, Flora was excited, holding Lan Wu's hand and shaking it vigorously, her mouth couldn't stop breaking thoughts.
"Hurry, hurry, we're going to make sure we're winning."
Lan Wu had to squeeze Flora's little hand and forcibly stop the easily excited little girl. If I continue to shake it, my arm will be broken.
After the last piece of equipment was appraised, Akara was silent for a moment and gave a price: "1363 gold coins." After all, these are low-level magic equipment, and their attributes are not good. ”
Lan Wu gladly accepted the price. Seventeen low-level blue suits could be sold for more than 1,300 gold coins, which had already reached his psychological price. He shrugged his shoulders and waved his big hand: "All replaced with recognition scrolls." Not...... There's also a town teleportation scroll. ”
With a smile on his face, Akara suddenly asked rhetorically, "You don't want to know the price of this Book of Discernment?" ”
"I don't want to." Lan Wu didn't want to shake his head: "This is an ancient magic item. I'm just a poor guy and I don't have the money to buy it. When I have enough gold, I will naturally hit the idea of this book. ”
Akara smiled, very relieved. She suddenly pushed the Book of Identification in front of Lan Wu and smiled, "I've heard about your bet with Gross. I think that's what you need, this book of discernment. ”
Lan Wu suddenly became alert. He looked at Akara suspiciously, and asked tentatively, "Another important task for me?" ”
Akara smiled again, and the smile was very kind. She nodded happily and smiled, "Yes, a rather important task. The future of Camp Rogge is at stake. ”
"I'm sorry, this responsibility is too big for me to bear." Lan Wu decisively refused. Flora was so anxious that she secretly tugged at the placket of his clothes.
This is a rare item of ancient magic. There may be such a thing in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an artifact.
Lan Wu broke free of Flora's small hand, turned his head and solemnly explained: "The reward of the task is linked to the difficulty of the task. The Book of Identification is very valuable, and if you don't have enough strength, it's best not to get your hands on it. Otherwise, in two days we might be corpses and dumped outside the camp. ”
Flora was not convinced and wanted to retort out loud. I don't want to hear Kasha's scolding from outside the tent: "Flora, I told you before, don't be carried away by the temptation in front of you. ”
Kashya walked into the tent and glared at Flora fiercely. Not to be outdone, the latter glared back. Angry, Kashya's face turned completely black. She spat on the ground fiercely, ignoring the helplessness on Akara's face, and stepped forward to pat Lan Wu on the shoulder.
"Akara likes to talk around the bush. I'll tell you. ”
Lan Wu did not object, and quietly listened to Kasha's narration. He couldn't stop laughing and crying when he told the history of Rog's camp through Kasha. When Camp Rog was established, it was during the invasion of demonic creatures into the world. In order to defend against the attacks of demonic creatures, the first legends such as Akara, Kasha, and Kane founded Camp Rog, leaving a stronghold for humanity and training a new generation of professionals and Rogge to join the war against demons.
But then the demons seem to disdain to completely take over the world. Fierce wars gradually ceased to occur. Just like the inferior nature of human beings. Without the demon as an external threat, strife inevitably arose in the five human strongholds.
The authorities in the barbarian capital of Harogas consider the demons facing the other four human strongholds weak and look down on the professionals in these four strongholds. And the rulers of the Demon Fortress also look down on the professionals in the seaport of Kurast. Knowing the lessons of the past, it is only natural that the authorities in power at the seaport of Kurast also look down on the professionals of Lugoin. The rulers of the desert country of Lugoin were dissatisfied that they were looked down upon by the other three human strongholds, and directly targeted the weakest of the five human strongholds, the Rogue camp.
The weak Rog camp was inexplicably lying with guns. The heirs to the titles of Akara, Kasha, Kane, and others had to accept the demands of Jahein, the king of the Rugoin generation.
Only by killing Andariel and obtaining the venom released by this archdemon can you be eligible to enter Rugoin.
As is the prevailing view in the camp at the moment. Most of the professionals in Camp Rog want to improve their strength as soon as possible so that they can set off for the heavenly beauty of Lugoin. Because of this, people's minds have changed, and Camp Rogge has declined from generation to generation. Today, there are only about 5,000 inhabitants left. Compared to the hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of human strongholds like Rugoin, Camp Rog is almost on the verge of being disbanded.
"So a few of our title heirs made a decision." Kashya's expression was solemn: "The continued existence of Camp Rog must be ensured. Rugoin, the closest to the camp, is our target for an alliance. Therefore, we need you to win this bet. ”
Lan Wu followed Kasha's words and continued: "If you win the bet, the strength of the Rog camp will be put in front of this generation of Jehein, making him reconsider how to deal with the current Rog camp?" ”
"Not bad." Kasha readily admitted.
"So as long as you win the game, I can give you the Book of Discernment." With a smile on his face, Akara said the final task.
"This ......" Lan Wu spread his hands in embarrassment: "It's hard for me to lose the gambling fight." ”
Kasha laughed and patted Lan Wu on the shoulder: "I appreciate your frankness. ”
Lan Wu smiled bitterly: "I'm definitely not going to be able to do it alone." The professionals in the camp have lost the faith to stay in the camp. The only way to revive Camp Rog is to make more professionals feel a sense of belonging to the camp. ”
"You're right." Akara smiled helplessly: "This is indeed the biggest problem facing the camp at the moment. ”
"I have a couple of ideas." Lan Wu actively stated: "First, the development of the population is nothing more than two points, absorbing people from outside, and the natural birth rate in the camp. Let's not talk about absorbing people from outside. I noticed a big shortcoming in the camps, which seriously constrained the development of the population. ”
Akara and Kashya looked at each other and fell silent. The eyes of the two were fixed on Lan Wu's face, full of anticipation.
"Civilians lack adequate privacy." Lan Wu solemnly accentuated his pronunciation: "If there is not enough quiet environment, how many people will be willing to fulfill the important task of human reproduction without selflessness?" I recommend that the camp should be sent to collect timber as early as possible, and that the camp be fully planned to divide into residential, commercial and recreational areas. Only when the relevant supporting facilities are complete, can people have a sense of belonging. ”
"Second, the camp's defenses don't give people a sense of security." Lan Wu saw that neither of them objected, and he became even more energetic: "With you masters in the camp, naturally I don't worry that the camp will be destroyed by demons." But no one else thinks so. The rudimentary wooden fence doesn't give them enough security. If you put effort into building tall walls, you will be trusted by all civilians. ”
"Third, in addition to building the city walls, the rogers in the camp should make the best use of their resources, instead of throwing them in the training camp and waiting for the professionals to take them away after they have killed the blood. I recommend building enough arrow towers at the four entrances. First, it can stabilize the hearts of the Rogers and let them know that in addition to following the profession, they can also take on greater responsibilities. Second, once the demon attacks, they will not have a sense of strangeness, but can reach the target location in the shortest possible time, relying on the tall arrow tower to meet the attacking demon. It would be a waste to have the archers face the enemy directly. Rogge is not a barbarian. ”
"Fourth, camp development needs to be distinctive. A camp with a unique product will attract the attention of others. Take, for example, Rogge. They are proficient in archery, and are elite scouts unmatched by other human strongholds. We can establish a Rogge guild, offer only hire, and assist other strongholds in defending against demons. Of course, employment needs to be for a limited period of time, and it is best not to sign a long-term contract. At the same time, use your influence among humanity to ensure that Rogge is able to unilaterally terminate the contract in certain unreasonable circumstances. If anyone dares to violate ......"
Lan Wu smiled shyly, revealing a row of white teeth: "Issue a chase order to other strongholds, chase and kill with all your might, and never die." ”
Seeing the smile on Lan Wu's face, Kasha couldn't help but shudder: "I'm afraid this will affect the unity of the human race. ”
Lan Wu tilted his head and asked strangely, "Now the people in other places are willing to unite the people of the Rogue camp?" ”
Kashya. Akara had already taken over: "Yes, it's time for a change. Our forbearance should not be seen as cowardice in the eyes of others. ”
Lan Wu gave Akara a thumbs up and said, "The first thing to do is for you to be tougher. Anyone who made trouble in the camp, no matter where he came from, was arrested and hung on the camp gate. A camp can't even do the most basic law and order, and what kind of development camp can be talked about. ”
Casa Moran. Akara silently.
Lan Wu was not in a hurry, and secretly looked at the Book of Identification in Akara's hand. Suddenly, the quaint book of discernment was handed to him.
"Now I firmly believe that this book of discernment belongs to you."
