186.Chapter 186
"It's not just helping... These are -- they're priceless!"
Brudy's voice trembled, and he really said this with tears in his eyes. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand his feelings at this time: this is a classic book treasured by the High Elf royal family! Although most of it has been eroded by rain and time, even if there is a small half left to read, it still represents the most essence and brilliant achievements of the High Elf civilization!
"Be careful when moving books, one of them is damaged, and I will break your legs!"
He gave the death order to the wood elves beside him, but his heart was excited and distressed... Thanks to the preciousness of the materials used in the production of these classics, many of them, although exposed to humid air for seven hundred years, have not been moth-eaten, decayed or reduced to pieces, but can still be read and read.
You must know that the books that Brudi has excavated in the ruins of other ruins over the years can only add up to seventy or eighty books, and the harvest of this room has now exceeded the sum of decades, and if in terms of content value, it is even more than dozens of streets of the remnants before the explosion: because these tomes are compiled in "sets", and their value is far more than some single books that are vague and only a few words!
In other words, if these books are studied deeply, they can even improve the vacant "spell system" in the human magic world, and their value is immeasurable!
Although Luo Di, a layman, didn't understand how great the value was, he could also intuitively feel the joy of the other party: the reputation of [Wood Elf (Elsa Village)] increased from 50% from "friendly" to "respectful" 68% in three days.
Now that Roddy can walk sideways in Elsa Village, he really has an unimaginable right to speak.
Seeing the wood elves carrying the books with great interest, Luo Di nodded secretly in his heart, feeling that the heat was almost over, and asked after a change of topic: "These books are all related to 'Arcane'? I remember that there are also 'Arcanists' in the human world, is this the same thing?"
"Yes and no. ”
Brudy casually put the book on the stone table beside him, and just wanted to continue talking, but saw Roddy come over and pick up the book, and raised his hand to gently wipe the seemingly inconspicuous stone table.
He didn't understand what this meant, but after a pause, he continued: "Although we live a closed life, in fact, more than a hundred years ago, when the population of wood elves was not low, we also went to the outside world to visit some human 'arcanists', and the conclusion was roughly that although those arcanists are not small, their power is completely compared to that of high elves..."
He made a gesture and whispered, "It's a drop in the bucket." ”
These words made Roddy raise his eyebrows, he really didn't care about the topic of "arcane" before, seeing that Brudy didn't seem to be joking, he asked seriously: "So much?"
"The power of arcane is immense, not just attack spells, it contains the power of all things in the world - 'elementalists', 'arcaneists', 'wizards', the energy used by these mages among the human beings, in the final analysis, is actually derived from arcane!"
When this sentence was spoken, Roddiden's mouth opened wide - he had never heard of such a theory, could it be that these three classes were of the same origin?!
On second thought... The mage players in the game are not really good at spells, they are just procedural simulations, and they can't really generate energy, so it's really impossible to talk about "feelings".
"Think about it from another angle, if the high elves only have the power of a human 'arcanist', can the huge kingdom really last for two thousand years?" Brudy sighed, bent down and picked up a tome, gently wiped the dust off the cover with his hand, and whispered, "The Mystery of Time... The power to control time is the ultimate power of arcane. ”
Roddy's gaze involuntarily looked at the stone table, he remembered the "Time Standstill Enchantment", and he really felt that Brudy's words made sense, and said in a low voice: "So to put it simply, the power that these books can teach is far stronger than the current research level of the human world?"
"That's right. Brudy's answer was a little proud, but more of a gloom.
The dim room did not light the torches, but relied on the lighting of the firefly "lantern", and under the flickering light, Roddy's slightly frowning expression flashed. Combining the information he had just obtained, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that the High Elves seemed to be a little too awesome, and asked, "In this way, 'Arcane' contains almost all spells, so how powerful were the Arcanists of the High Elves in that era? Could it be that they are many times stronger than those human archmagists?"
"I don't have an answer to this comparison," Brudy said truthfully, "I haven't seen either of these beings, and even if I did, it's hard to judge, but..."
He shook his head, but what he had to say was silent.
Roddy waited for a moment, seeing that Brudy had no intention of continuing, so he didn't ask again. He looked at the firefly lantern and felt that the light around him was really dim, so he raised his hand to light the ring, but as soon as his hand was raised, Roddy discovered a fact - he actually understood the "activation spell" of the ring!
Obviously, the side effect of the advanced profession was that he learned the "High Elf Language", which was a knowledge that suddenly appeared in his mind, and Roddy couldn't even detect it. Looking at the display panel again, "Hlukji'smier" has been translated, meaning "Arcane Light: Guardian".
This is obviously the name of the original skill of the ring light, and Roddy really didn't expect that he would have such an "unexpected gain", but the question followed - how could this "Arcane Light: Guardian" cause so much damage to the undead? Isn't the High Elf arcane? How can it have the effect of "Holy Light"?
Then he remembered the activation spell of the necklace he had been wearing: "Ol'kla".
It is also a high elf script, meaning "Shadow descends." ”
Roddy immediately asked Brudy about the relationship between "arcane" and "divine art", and Brudy's expression changed, but he just said that he didn't know it clearly, but it was obviously something unspeakable. Roddy knew the nature of the wood elves, and they didn't want to say it, so they simply stopped asking, but made an excuse to take a look at the rest of the ruins.
After Roddy left, Brudy looked at the classics a little distracted... He thought that Roddy knew something, so his mood was a little complicated. "If I say Arcane is omnipotent... I'm afraid no one will believe it. “
The old elf sighed, but then thought of the next crisis that the village would face - was it really with the help of human power?
In the past, this kind of behavior was "luring wolves into the house" no matter how you think about it.
But now the village of Elsa is indeed in such a dilemma: if they do not seek foreign help, let alone the attack, even if nothing happens, it will be difficult for them to survive next year.
Brudy looked at the mountains of books around him, but found that he was like a beggar guarding a mountain of gold, even though he was sitting on priceless treasures, he could only wait to be starved to death!
"It's a tragedy..."
Walking in the dark corridor, Roddy sighed - he is naturally the one who knows Brudy's situation best, so the ruins that seem to be "treasures" at the moment are actually deliberately released by Roddy... The last straw that broke Brudy's will.
With such a heavy treasure, the wood elves will do whatever it takes to keep it. So from another point of view, it's not that Roddy gave the "choice" to the wood elves, actually... He didn't give the Wood Elves any choice in the first place!
It's just telling you plainly, it's just leaving you with no choice.
Although this method is not comparable to that of an old nobleman like Duke Angmar, it is more than enough to deal with wood elves. Roddy's vision is long-term, from the moment he killed Kevin, all his goals have been turned to Magda, and after Magda is the entire kingdom - the problem of the wood elves here is no longer a problem, Roddy is now just calculating how much time he has left to complete the arrangement.
He walked around here, but it was just time for Brudy to make up his mind. However, he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain from his wandering: the underground room of the palace stored all kinds of items, although most of them were corroded by time, but there were also a few rare treasures that were still undamaged...
These are definitely real "windfalls"!
In a stone chamber like a weapons exhibition hall, Roddy bent down to pick up a beautifully shaped but dusty dagger without any rust, and even though the wooden weapon rack had rotted for years, the humming sound was still crisp when he struck the blade.
【Royal Squire Shortblade】
Damage: 457-569
One-handed fine
Required Level: 35
+ Strength 130
+ Constitution 80
"For the glory of the High Elves. ”
The attributes are strong, the level requirements are high, and the most important thing is... The same weapons were scattered all over the floor, close to a hundred, and it looked apparently the standard weapons of the royal guard, and this room was supposed to be a small armory for storing weapons.
Similarly, there are complete sets of light armor, which are also not rusty, and Luo Di studied for a long time, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the materials of these weapons and armor actually contain the rare metal "Barretton Iron"!
Damn, the current market price of Barretton Iron is sold for silver coins!
Roddy clenched his fists excitedly: the biggest characteristic of Barretton iron is that it is light and strong, it is the best choice for cavalry armor, although these weapons armor level requirements are high, but there are many ways to do it yourself - even if you can't find a high-level blacksmith to reduce the equipment demand, just smelting them and reforging new armor will definitely destroy the existence of all knight armor of the same level!
There are few cavalry regiments equipped with pure iron armor in the entire Karen Kingdom, but what if all the cavalry regiments are equipped with "Barretton Iron" armor?
It's just that YY The golden light burst into the scene, Luo Di felt that he was flying happily...
You must get your hands on it! Arm your own order!
