Volume 2 [Dark Tide] Chapter 219 Scroll and Earth
Viscount Tranca was completely "planted" this time, regardless of whether there was an heir or not, the entire family would probably be uprooted for "treason" - and who belonged to the vast amount of wealth and territory that was vacated has now become a hot topic among other lords.
The lords were busy inquiring about the news, and the spies had begun to flock from all directions, but these nobles, although they had a good plan, collectively ignored the name "Sodrore", which had little presence—it was clear that the most heard words in the news of the disappearance were "guardian knights" and "Angmar", so in their eyes, the resolution of this crisis must be due to the Duke of Angmar.
And as for the little-known baron - who cares about such a small role?
"So before they realize our existence, we have to get these things in place as soon as possible - what do you mean by 'making a lot of money by muffling,' you know?"
On the morning of October 31, in the manor left by Ansadine, Roddy finally got rid of the pressure of the past few days, and said the next strategic arrangement in front of these teams in a relaxed tone.
"Wellington has already greeted me, and he will return to Hollier City after he finishes Magda, so for now it will only be our own soldiers who remain here."
The manor's mansion was uninhabited for many years, and Ansadine was only active in the catacombs, so the furniture in the two-story wooden building was slightly old. The thick dust has been piled up for a long time, and it will feel a little soft when you step on it. The armchairs in the hall were moth-eaten, so Ruger and Carter sat on the floor, while Roddy and Sodlore crouched in front of the fireplace, throwing firewood they had picked up outside to keep warm.
The temperature had dropped again in the past two days, the sky was so overcast that it seemed to snow at any moment, and the fire in the fireplace was burning brightly, and the crackling sound of the firewood was mixed with Roddy's words, revealing a little winter atmosphere.
And at the edge of the hall, Nata, who stood in front of the window, was silent like a sentinel, and several people were used to her indifference, and they didn't pay much attention to it at this time. Not long after, Akasha's footsteps could be heard outside the foyer, and a beautiful priest in a plain robe walked from the back kitchen with a few teacups, and after distributing a glass of water to everyone, she stood not far behind Roddy.
"Thank you."
Several people whispered thanks, which made Akasha's face more and more restrained. Luo Di didn't care about this, he took a few sips of the water glass, and continued: "The details must be done well, and the ownership of the town is not so simple to decide, by the way... Luger, you brought everything from the catacombs? ”
"It's all over here."
Ruger drank the water from the teacup, got up and patted the dirt on his buttocks, and then brought three or four large cloth bags full of them from the corner of the wall on the side, "Those materials have been transferred to the town of Parr according to the predetermined plan, and all the remaining scrolls and documents are placed here." ”
He glanced up at Sodrol and added, "Except for that list and a few letters. ”
Roddy nodded, naturally understanding that he was talking about the list of nobles who secretly colluded with Ansadine.
It's just that he wasn't in the mood to think about those traitors now, so Roddy lowered his head and opened the cloth bag, and began to look at these "private collections" belonging to Ansardine in the same way.
Although Sodrore had given him a list before, the baron was not as well-informed as Roddy, and he couldn't write down a lot of material whose names he didn't even know, let alone the scrolls and encrypted parchment with various incantations written on them—Sodrore was a pure knight and knew little about "magic".
So after a few days, Roddy had Ruger pick out the scrolls and documents from them, ready to take a closer look.
Opening the first bag, Roddy could see that it contained sealed scrolls, he picked up one of them, and then turned his gaze to the panel displayed in front of him:
[Curse: Damage Amplification - Level]
Instantaneous
Cost: 10 mana
Use: Increases physical damage taken by the target by 15 for l minutes.
"Made by Heinstein."
Seeing the name of "Heinstein", Roddy frowned slightly-this name can be described as thunderous, the other party is a highly accomplished necromancer among the Tasman undead, good at white bone spells, and is also the principal of the "Crown of Thorns Academy", both in terms of academic level and strength. In 597, the old man had become the first important minister of the Tasman kingdom, and was almost fully responsible for the invasion of the kingdom of Karen.
"It's a familiar face again."
Roddy muttered, but then discovered something he had just overlooked...
This scroll can be used by itself
He remembered that the [Demon Hunter] class had mana - and many of these scrolls didn't require a class limit, so...
Roddy hurriedly reached out and flipped through the scroll in his pocket, and his eyebrows gradually raised-
[Curse: Fear - Level]
Instantaneous
Cost: 10 mana
Use: Causes the target to turn and flee uncontrollably for three seconds.
"Made by Heinstein."
Similarly, there are a series of "curse" spells such as [Curse: Chaos], [Curse: Confusion], [Curse: Demon Lash], etc., which can be cast directly regardless of the level of class, and the only condition is to have "mana".
These Huff scrolls don't seem to have much effect, but the most terrifying thing is that they can be "stacked" as long as the effect is not repeated, they can be applied to the same target - by stacking Huffs, the success rate of killing H6 can be greatly increased, and it can even be said that they can completely allow Roddy to "skip the level of monsters"
"It's useful to have time to brush a few H6s."
Luo Di flipped out more than thirty similar scrolls, and then looked at the other scrolls left in this pocket - [Necromancy: Bone Shield Summoning], [Necromancy: Bone Prison], Sexual Mist], [Finger of Death] and other high-level high-power spell scrolls, piled together like cabbage wholesale from the vegetable market, but unfortunately, they all had the words "Need: Necromancer" written on them, which belonged to the category of unusable.
Roddy sighed with pity... If he could use it, the reserve of hundreds of scrolls would be enough for him to transform into a high-level necromancer in a short period of time
Unbuttoning the next pocket, Roddy saw thickened parchments, one of which was the largest and pulled out by him, and the words displayed in front of him made him stunned:
"Map of the kingdom of Karen."
"Ruger, Carter, help me pull it."
The curly parchment slowly unfolded with the help of several people, and the eyes of Sodrol and Roddy narrowed at the first glance of the map...
"Maps" are hard to see in the current era. Factors such as illiteracy and small places make the lords never pay attention to such things as "maps", and it is only after Luo Di's complex and comprehensive training methods that the current four people understand the profound meaning behind this map-
It's too detailed
I'm afraid that the kingdom of Karen itself can't come up with such a map with countless annotations... Starting from the southwestern border bordering the Tasman kingdom, every river and mountain range is marked with a route to pass, and every territory in the kingdom is divided into detailed areas, even the location and population density of all villages are marked on it, and the approximate assessment is written...
The original orc witch doctor Sarota also made a detailed map with detailed information about the orc kingdom, but if you compare that map with the current one, it can definitely be called a child's graffiti work
"I never knew that the territory of Ivota was so big."
"Parr seems a little small compared to other territories."
"Kiger is here... It turns out that the scope of the Silent Forest starts from this area? ”
Carter's mouth was relatively idle, and after a few glances, he shouted in amazement, Ruger was not very literate, but he could also recognize the horror in the general information—as for Sodrore, he spoke slowly after a long silence:
"They... It's really ready to invade the kingdom. ”
When this sentence was spoken, several people had an indescribable dull feeling in their chests.
"It seems that these things are a little beyond imagination, they are not hesitating 'whether to invade, but hesitating+when to invade," he said.
Roddy muttered softly, and the originally relaxed mood was once again a little more anxious... His gaze swept over the town of Kigue, where he was, but he suddenly paused, and his gaze stayed on a region marked in other languages—
"No, how is this... High Elf? ”
