185.Chapter 185: The Legend of the Arcane
The little girl was only eleven or twelve years old, her forehead was only as high as Sally's chest, and her gray linen robe that could be seen everywhere was inconspicuous, but it suddenly became eye-catching because of the pair of tasseled orange leather boots on her feet. The big eyes that blink at first glance feel full of innocence, but the corners of the slightly upturned mouth always reveal a touch of cunning.
Sally opened her mouth to answer, but when her eyes were fixed on the little girl's hair, her original smile suddenly froze.
The little girl has dazzling red hair.
"It's just... Just a bone fragment. β
Sally pursed her lips slightly, and when she answered, there was a moment of confusion in her mind - wasn't the "she" that Roddy had mentioned just a redhead?
You must know that although the people of the kingdom have hair of all colors, red hair is extremely rare, at least Sally has never heard of it in the confines of Evta's territory... So she has always wondered, who is the woman who makes Roddy lose her mind for a long time every time she mentions it?
Is that woman's name "Nephi"?
Looking at the little girl in front of her, Sally remembered that Roddy said that she was 37 years old, and then an "association" popped up that made her sad - if this little girl had a relationship with Roddy, could she be Roddy's...
Woman... Daughter?
"Sister, what are you thinking?"
"Huh... It's nothing, I just think you're cute. Sally crouched down, raised the dice in her hand, and asked, "Why do you ask about it?"
"Because it's glowing. β
The little girl's answer made Sally a little stunned, she raised her hand to look at the dice in her hand, the gray bone surface had been smooth and abnormal because of her long time of rubbing, saying that "reflection" was there, but "glowing" was absolutely impossible.
"But I didn't see the light. β
Sally glanced around, the little girl didn't seem to have parents, and the little unrealistic thoughts were quickly suppressed, and she felt that she was a little nervous... It's just because he's so sensitive when he sees red hair.,After all, I'm really miserable by that bastard guy.γ
The little girl smiled, showing her white and neat teeth, she pointed at Sally, and said, "Your body actually has light, but it is covered and you can't see clearly." β
The temple guard next to her only thought of her as a cute-looking but strange child, and said in a rough voice, "Aren't your parents here? β
"I'm not afraid, hee-hee. She tilted her head, a lock of red pigtails flicked behind her ears, "I came out with Uncle Sam, he's over thereβ"
As she spoke, she pointed to a few people pushing simple "carts" out of the city in the distance, and continued: "I just thought the things my sister was holding in her hand were very interesting, so I came over and asked, now it's okay, I'll go first!"
The little girl was very generous and her tone was very cheerful, but just as she turned around, Sally suddenly asked, "By the way, little sister, can I know your name?"
"Just call me Camilla!"
Her defenseless appearance and sparkling eyes made the guards on the side smile. Sally whispered, "Your hair is so beautiful, and your mother has red hair? β
"Mom is not redheaded. Camila deliberately shook her head, cute, and then waved her hand, "I'm leaving, goodbye!"
After speaking, she ran into the distance with a brisk pace, Sally smiled, but her heart relaxed: it seems that she has thought too much, the range of clues like "Nefi" and "Red Hair" is too large, it is so easy to find there, and she should not be so nervous and sensitive.
Sally shook her head, dispelling the doubts in her mind, and turned to walk towards the monastery.
On the other side, the little girl had jumped onto the cart pulled by the horses, her calves hanging there and bent, and her mouth was humming a ballad.
"What do you see? So happy. β
Uncle Sam is a farmer in the village of Mogra, and every time the market is open, he and the people of the village come to the city to sell some goods, and this little dot who sits in the car is the daughter of the respected lady Camilla of the village, although she likes to run around every time she comes out, but she is very sensible and never troubles, and over time, every time she comes to the market, her appearance becomes a kind of acquiescence.
"Uncle Sam, it's interesting to see a little bone in my sister's hand, I've never seen a glowing bone before. β
"Oh, that's interesting, by the way, this is the herb that Lady Camilla asked me to buy, and I'll bring it to her when I get back to the village. β
"I thank you for Mommy, Uncle Sam!"
"Little Nefi is so sensible. β
Uncle Sam laughed, but the little girl waved her little hand and protested, "Call me Camilla!" β
As she spoke, she looked around thoughtfully, but at this time the group had already left the city and walked on a remote road in the countryside, and there were no outsiders around.
"It's up to you, Miss Camilla!"
Uncle Sam laughed, Nephi was like a pistachio to them, bringing laughter and joy wherever they wentβnow in 588, 12-year-old Neffie was smiling innocently with them, enjoying the warm feeling of the warm sunlight on a sunny day.
As you drive all the way, at sunset, the village of Mogra comes into view. Before she could reach the village, Lori jumped off the cart, thanked Uncle Sam, and then hopped into the village. Neffie lives with his mother, Camilla, in the northwest corner of the village, in a somewhat remote location, but not too far away.
Smoke rose from the chimneys, the red glow of the sunset reflected Nefi's flying red hair, and the drab village seemed to be brightened by her presence.
The free-range hen clucked and was scared away by Nefi, a shepherd dog ran over and rubbed it in a flattering manner, Nefi waved his hand, "good boy" coaxed for a long time, and finally shook off the big dog full of saliva, and when he stepped to the thatched house, Nefi sniffed, looked around with a pair of big eyes, and then tiptoed into the house.
"People are small and ghosts" is talking about a little girl like Nephi, although she is still young, but she is really smart, and in a village with a very high illiteracy rate, she knows even more words than the count's butler in the village, and not only that...
"Nephi, have you forgotten the rules?"
When the soft but majestic voice came out, the little girl, who had wanted to sneak into the room, froze in place, then straightened up like a deflated ball, and honestly began to recite a series of strangely pronounced sentences, some of which were very different from the pronunciation of Bringa, and Nefi stumbled, but she managed to memorize all the words smoothly.
Mrs. Camilla did not comment, which meant "qualified", and Nephi breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped into the room, only to find an old, thick bronze book on the humble wooden table, and she stood on tiptoe to look at the cover of the book, which was blurred because of her age.
"This is the next book to be memorized, starting today, you can touch the mantra, and you can only eat by memorizing the first mantra. β
He only heard his voice and did not see anyone, but Nephie replied honestly, "Yes, Mom." β
Then she swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, sniffed the tempting aroma of the food, sat down at the table, opened the old book, and read the words made up of High Elvesβ
"Arcane Spell Basics. β
"Advanced Arcane Charge Research..."
Similar voices were also heard in the "Book Room" of the Wagra Ruins.
At this time, it was Brudy who spoke, and the High Elf language was similar to the Wood Elf language, but in many ways it seemed complex and ornate, and when it was recited, there was an indescribable sense of frustration. As the old elf read the words on the surface of the book, Roddy was standing behind him, looking down at the decaying orc corpses.
Obviously, Brudy is undisguised in his attention to this ruin, and as soon as dawn he hurriedly led two teams of wood elves to the ruins, and without saying a word, he tried to find a valuable "relic".
Luo Di didn't talk nonsense, and simply took them directly to the originally closed "classic room". And when he saw the books all over the ground, Brudy's expression was really wonderful, in Roddy's description, it was probably like a Jiangyang thief seeing piles of gold, and the corners of his mouth almost cramped!
However, compared to Brudy's excitement, Roddy is actually not interested in "Arcane". Before the crossing, Roddy's second advanced class was a pure physics "berserker", so even after playing the game for 7 years, he himself had never actually used any spells.
In fact, his career choice is incomprehensible to most people. A "Ranger" who is good at long-range attacks, taking the "Mage" class as a control support is definitely the first choice. Even if it's not a legal class, an agility class like the "Assassin" would be a great choice.
But Roddy chose Berserker, not because of dual-wielding weapons or savagery moves... The biggest reason is actually the anger in his heart - after Nephie's death, that extreme revenge mentality made Roddy unable to calm down to study any spells, and "Berserker", although his combat skills are rough, is the most suitable profession for his "mental state" at that time.
In other words, Roddy's psyche was pathological at that time, and he needed to use an extreme fighting style to vent his inner emotions.
But when time turned back and he regained his chance to save it all, Roddy's heart calmed down. He listened to Brudy's muttering, but at this time he was a little interested in "Arcane", and asked, "Can these books help you?"
"It's not just helping... These are -- they're priceless!"
