Before Roddy left the Silent Forest, the head of the "Zada Village" who came to find trouble in Brudy's mouth provided a series of tasks that players called "Bamboo Basket Drawing Water", and the biggest "gimmick" was to meet the dragons, but the players broke the bank and made a long chain of tasks and got nothing but experience points, and finally scolded him on the forum.

This is one of the few memories in Roddy's memory that can be related to the "dragon family", but he didn't expect it... The high elves in history were so strong that they could defeat the dragons.

"The dragons are arrogant?"

He casually asked, which is the usual description in most novels - as a higher species, dragons tend to look down on mortals or something... However, Akasha's answer surprised him a little:

"The high elves have a strange opinion of the dragons, they say that the dragons are an extremely rational and 'just' race, and this causes the dragons to be very apathetic most of the time, because they do not have a sense of superiority over the weaker species, but just think that communicating with them is a waste of time. ”

After saying this, Akasha stuck out her tongue and grimaced with a smile: "Of course, it is also possible that the high elves themselves are arrogant, so they didn't notice the arrogance of the dragon clan." ”

Sitting next to Roddy, the corners of Akasha's mouth were always involuntarily curled, and this sense of dependence that had arisen since I didn't know when even she was aware of it. But after saying this, she found that Roddy didn't react much, just nodded lightly, and then gently closed the page of "Dialogue with the Dragon".

"I'm going to go to the Silent Forest, and I need you and me to set off as soon as possible. ”

Roddy's curiosity about dragons stops there, he is not a scholar, and he is not interested in learning the knowledge that is not needed - the strength of dragons is recognized, and this does not need to be verified by players, because the information given on the official website is clearly written: the strength of adult dragons is generally above level 50, and most dragons over 200 years old have exceeded level 60, or even reached the level of level 80 or above.

The atmosphere seemed to cool down suddenly, Akasha's expression froze on her face, and she immediately noticed the difference between Roddy in the past, she wanted to ask, but seeing the way he lowered her eyes, she finally whispered: "Got it, I, I'm going to prepare..."

"Don't worry, there are still some things that need to be said. ”

Luo Di raised his eyes slightly and looked at her calmly: "Help me find a map of the surrounding area of Wagra City." ”

Akasha already knew everything about the library, and soon found a map about a meter and a half long and wide from another row of shelves, and before she could unfold it, she saw Camila striding in from the outside.

Roddy noticed that Camilla looked noticeably haggard than before, her cheeks pale and bloodless, and her steps fluttered as she walked.

This seems to be a side effect of the city's lack of energy, and Roddy is slightly nervous in his heart... I'm afraid that Camilla said that it can last for two months, but it is only a theoretical number.

"The problem of not enough urban hedron needs to be solved immediately, I will make a long story short, the next target is the Silent Forest, I will lead a team in Elsa Village to start exploring those places that have been demarcated in advance, and now Sodlorre is leading people to Elsa Village..."

"I need to confirm the location of all the ruins where there is a chance that I will leave the Charged Crystal, and get out as soon as possible. ”

Roddy is well aware of the truth of "sharpening the knife and not cutting wood", the Silent Forest is so big, it is extremely time-consuming to explore, and if his memory is biased, no one can afford the consequences of the detour, so confirming it with the help of the map left behind by Elson City is the most important step in all his plans.

His serious attitude made the atmosphere solemn, and Akasha, who originally wanted to say a few jokes, suddenly lost her mind, she didn't know about the charging hedron yet, so she had to prick up her ears and listen carefully to the conversation between Roddy and Camilla...

"When Wagra City was originally an imperial city, there were more than seventeen small villages and towns around it, but there were probably only five that could find charging crystals. ”

Camila didn't talk nonsense, as a descendant of the High Elves, she knew more about this race than Akasha, and after glancing at the map, she immediately reached out and pointed out the areas that were once located around Wagra City.

"Here, here, here, it's a defensive town, and it's an area used for strategic buffer and logistics in times of war, so it stands to reason that a lot of hedron will be stored, but... From what I've learned of the 'Charged Crystals', the reason why only a small part of them have survived to this day is not because they are difficult to craft. ”

Camila raised her head and analyzed in a low voice: "Because the structure reverses the laws of nature, the 'Charged Crystal' is not as stable as ordinary magic crystals, so the high elves often directly detonate the crystals to die with the enemy when they fight to the last moment, and only a few crystals located in the center can avoid this fate by virtue of the high level of the magic circle..."

Akasha listened attentively beside her, but Roddy said slowly after thinking, "That is to say... There is a good chance that nothing will be found in these three places you mentioned?"

"Either there are more than five hundred hedrons, or it's a ruin after the explosion. ”

Camilla paused, then her finger drew a trajectory from Elsa to the north, stopping on a "potion bottle" symbol: "I learned about this place in the literature of the 'Holy Order': because the high elves had extremely high-level power before the fall, they began to experiment with many rare creatures, and this is the largest biological 'laboratory' outside of Wagra City, because of its hidden location, it does not seem to have been attacked by orc troops, so there should be a lot of spars left here." ”

Then she moved her fingertips to the north again: "Moria City, this is the closest fortress other than Wagra, the defensive strength is second only to Elson, according to the theoretical needs of the defense circle, it should store a lot more hedron than Vagra City... And it is quite possible that it has been saved to the present. ”

Obviously, Camilla has already done his homework, and the analysis at this time is very organized, and there are about twelve places in the range that Roddy has delineated before, and Camilla's words are equivalent to saving him more than half of his exploration time in disguise.

Roddy stood up, bent slightly over the map, and silently stretched out his hand to delineate the route from Elsa Village, but...

"Why don't you go straight to it?"

Akasha, who had not dared to speak next to her, finally couldn't hold back and asked out loud.

Luo Di didn't raise his head, and his fingers lightly tapped in the area he bypassed: "There is a poisonous gas swamp here, and there are three high-level demonic beasts guarding here, and the water source in this area is poisonous, so you can't walk in a straight line." ”

In a flat tone, as if these ordinary people had no way of knowing the situation was so natural, Akasha and Camilla looked at each other... Obviously, Roddy inadvertently refreshed their cognition again.

"With this route, you can go to all five locations in about a month. Luo Di calculated the time, and found that if the action went well, he should not be very nervous, and his mood relaxed slightly, and then said to Akasha: "Go and prepare things, I will wait for you in the square in an hour." ”

"Okay. ”

The little priest took the order and left the library quickly. She didn't forget to look back when she left, pursed her lips and didn't know what she was thinking...

The atmosphere in the library changed slightly at this time, Roddy lowered her head and pondered the details of the plan, while Camilla hesitated to speak because of a few thoughts in her heart. The previous agreement will be fulfilled. ”

"Hmm... What?"

Roddy looked a little absent-minded, and when he looked up, he remembered the promise that Camilla had made with him before leaving: if she could get Nephie back, she would willingly become his subordinate.

But the problem is that Luo Di never thought about making his "mother-in-law" his subordinate from beginning to end, and it was okay not to mention it, at this time she took the initiative to say it, and Luo Di immediately felt extremely awkward and embarrassed in her heart.

But he also understands... If he still pushes back at this time, I am afraid that it will only make Camilla more suspicious in her heart, but only increase her troubles.

So he could only nod his head in acquiescence, and then changed the topic a little abruptly: "There is no special situation in the city recently, right?"

Camilla opened her mouth, there was an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart, she didn't know what she was expecting at that moment, but she was an adult after all, her expression was always dripping, and she replied: "The city and the forest have always been calm, the Sola sentry has established a communication route with here, and neither the undead nor the orcs have made any moves, but..."

She hesitated for a moment, then recalled, "About a week ago, the detection circle of the Pachar Magic Tower recorded a relatively violent elemental fluctuation in the east, but because the circle has not been completely repaired, it is impossible to tell what it came from. ”

"Can you fix the circle?"

Roddy didn't care about any elemental fluctuations, and some of the human mages who blew themselves up in experiments these years were surprised by how the "detection circle" came up.

"Because of Khadgar's heritage, I am very sensitive to the things in the magic tower, and during this time I have studied and tried and repaired some things, that magic circle is more complicated, only half repaired, and this... I want you to bring it with you when you're looking for a hedroon. ”

Camila took out a bracelet made of similar crystal, and Roddy took it with both hands and looked at it carefully.

"Broken Energy Release"

One-handed consumables

Use: Connects to the "Charged Crystal" and releases energy at once, dealing a large amount of damage.

"Made by Camila the Arcanist. Because of the unstable structure, it can only be used once. ”

I thought it was a bracer, but I didn't expect it to be a consumable like a "grenade", Roddy picked it up and looked at it, feeling that the workmanship was indeed a little rough, and when he looked up, he found that Camilla's cheeks were slightly red...

"I did it temporarily, some of the monsters in the forest are more threatening, this thing should be able to help you. ”

Camilla's eyelashes trembled, and after all, she felt that her behavior seemed to be easy for Roddy to misunderstand, so she explained: "After all, this is my life, and it would be better to have more insurance." ”

"That's right, I took it. ”

Roddy didn't think much about it, he had never refused to come to this consumable weapon, and at this time, all he was thinking about was how to cooperate with the scroll to deal maximum damage and so on, and he didn't notice Camilla's slightly clenched fingers.
