220.Chapter 220: Charged Crystal
What happened in the Silent Forest, Roddy did not talk about what happened to Sodrol and the others in detail, but only made a little explanation of the "business opportunities" and development prospects brought by the wood elves, but did not mention the past of the "high elves" race.
So when Roddy whispered the word "High Elf", the others looked at him in confusion, not understanding what it meant—Sodrore looked sideways at the place name and said, "High Elf?
"The ancestors of the wood elves became extinct hundreds of years ago. ”
As Roddy said this, he glanced at Nata by the window, who was still standing there quietly with his eyes unknown to anyone because he was always wearing a hood, staring into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Genocide?"
Ruger touched his beard and stared at the name of the place for a long time, "The location of this place... It's a little subtle, is it the first place they are preparing to attack?"
"There isn't even a village here, and if you attack the kingdom, there's no point in garrisoning here. ”
Sodrore pointed out the window, "I think the advantage of those undead is that they can 'resurrect' the dead, the more densely populated the place, the better it is for them, if it is just a barren area, it is not suitable for them to fight." ”
"Could it be that there is some treasure there?"
Carter added a sentence next to him, reaching out to lift another cloth bag, which contained a large stack of parchment rolls that had been dumped on the ground, he picked one up casually, unfolded it, pointed to the pattern on it, and said, "Huh, a fiery puppet..."
This kind of high-level "fire puppet" summoning scroll is definitely much rarer than those spell skill scrolls, but Roddy is not interested in it at all at this time, instead his eyes are glued to the word on the map, trying to think about the meaning-
"Elson... Where have you heard this name?"
The word "Elson" written by the High Elves is very subtle on the map, not far from the town of Kig at this time, about one hundred and twenty kilometers away by scale - "subtle" because it is right between the Nehemian savannah, the gondola mountains, the Tasman undead, and the territory of Ivta!
When he was in Hollier, Roddy remembered that the map in Duke Angmar's hand did not mark the area in any way, so he took it for granted that it was a barren area, but Ansadine marked a place name written in High Elven script here, which seemed a little intriguing when he thought about it...
He thought for a moment, reached out and continued to rummage through the parchment in his sack, and within a few minutes he found a report of the record of "Elson".
"High Elf Ruins, Charged Crystals...?"
Roddy was stunned - this chapter of parchment was actually recorded by Ansardin on the research and record of the "Charged Crystal"!
"At present, it can be confirmed that traces of the 'Charged Crystal' have been found in the Elson area, but this ruin seems to have a strong prohibition, and after the loss of fifteen golems, it is still impossible to enter and explore, so I have to give up research..."
"However, it is certain that this ruin contains a large number of clues about the 'Charged Crystal', and humans have not yet perceived the value of this place..."
Roddy's lips pursed as he read the contents of the parchment in his hand, his gaze becoming more and more serious.
The invention of the "Charged Crystal" can be called the shining pearl in the crown of the "High Elf Civilization" - in this era, if you have such a technology, it means that you are absolutely ahead in terms of "technology"... Both agriculture and the military will make great strides because of its existence.
When he first found the hedrons in the ruins of Wagra, he probably thought about the role of these things, but Roddy didn't think too deeply about them, and just threw them aside as "relics"...
Now it seems that the Tasman's undead have a deeper understanding of them, and the ambition and desire behind this "understanding" makes Roddy feel a deep chill - why do the undead study these things, and what will happen if they master the "charging hedrons"?
Roddy slowly put down the parchment in his hand, but a bold idea popped up irrepressibly in his mind.
Since the undead have put a lot of effort into studying these, so... What will happen if you take the lead in mastering the "Charged Crystal"?
Tough soldiers, unbreakable territory, huge business opportunities, absolute initiative on the battlefield, and... Unify the country!
He suddenly clenched the parchment full of words, a little surprised at the sudden thought.
"Heh... unify the country, and I am not Qin Shi Huang..."
Ansardine's legacy has earned Roddy a lot of money—enough high-level potion recipes to train a grandmaster-level apothecary, hundreds of spell scrolls, dozens of puppet scrolls, precious metal materials to arm an entire cavalry regiment, potion reserves, hundreds of experimental records, and more.
It can be said that Ansadine's decades of accumulated wealth and research results have all been laughed at by Roddy, and after this battle, although Roddy is not yet a lord, his hidden power and wealth can already kill most of the lords in Ivta's territory in seconds.
However, this abundance is naturally based on the "pain" of the undead forces - the atmosphere in the Tasman Kingdom these days is extremely gloomy.
This country of "the dead" looks very similar to humans, and the core royal city "St. Karen" has tall and eerie walls, a slow-flowing but lifeless moat, and the guards walking around have a quaint Siga broad-bladed sword hanging from their waists, and their gray-white pupils are always indifferent and numb.
Beyond the ancient streets of nearly 1,000 years old, inside the palace known as "Oldmantius", the members of the noble council are collectively denouncing the "injustices" of the Karen Kingdom, and even the guys who originally belonged to a neutral position are somewhat of the same hatred to condemn the human race.
However, their discussion was silenced outside the door of the council chamber, and His Majesty Augustine, whom Roddy regarded as a "god-like being", was now in a leisurely posture, casually flipping through the parchment presented by the council on the throne of bones.
Augustine, dressed in a purple robe, has a slender body, and unlike those old aristocrats with bones, his body is almost indistinguishable from that of a normal human... The muscles were full, the skin was tight, and apart from the slight paleness of his face, there was almost no trace of being an "undead" on this king's body.
The dome of the circular hall shone a soft light downward, and Augustine finished reading the contents of the parchment, closed it casually, and chuckled: "Joint proposal to start a war? Do you really think you can contain me?"
He shook his head, not knowing what he thought, and then raised his finger and swiped it in the void at random, and a delicate silver box appeared in front of him—his fingertips tapped on the box, and the soul power that suddenly spread out filled the box, and the originally dim silver light instantly flashed with a crystal luster.
It was a piece of Ansadine's soul - and although it could not be brought back to life, it was easy for Augustine to retrieve all of his memories.
"Elson, was the High Elf ever the strongest fortress..."
"Charged Crystal... Tsk, this news is much more useful than that old guys. ”
