Volume 2 [Dark Tide] Chapter 226 Secrets

Nata didn't show her anger at Roddy, but when she remembered these things, her tone changed somewhat. Perhaps because of the darkness of the tree hole, Brudy didn't notice anything unusual about her—but apparently the village chief's attention wasn't on Nata, and what was still on his mind was the name of the place that Roddy had mentioned in his letter.

After a few brief questions, Brudy, who confirmed that Nata was not injured, was relieved. Nata's habitual silence made the atmosphere cold, and after a few seconds, Brudy brought up the topic again-

"Elson... Elson... Where did Roddy come from to learn the name? ”

The question was more like talking to himself, and he didn't wait for Nata's answer, but turned around and began to rummage through it—the dimly lit tree hole contained the heavy books he had found in the ruins of Wagra, and the village of Elsa was in a poor condition, and there were no elaborate bookshelves to store here, so Brudy had to put them on a dry wooden plank, and for this reason, he had to dig through the books he needed.

"In the future, I must set up a library, and these things are placed here for me... What a shame for the ancestors. ”

Bowing his head and blaming himself for a few words, Brudy pulled out a book with a black cover, slowly flipped through a few pages, and in the dense elf text, he finally found what he was looking for - "... At the time of the total contraction of Wagra's defenses, the only fortress remaining in the country was Elson - it was called the 'last hope' beacon along with Wagra, and the orcs had to stop their attack..."

Brudy actually can't remember what "Elson" represents, the books taken out of the ruins of Wagra are vast, many of them are elemental theoretical knowledge, and more are many literary works similar to biographies and epics, but this black book is a record of the war in the last period of time before the fall of the high elf civilization...

The old village chief only vaguely remembered that "Elson" was a high elf fortress, but he didn't have a deep understanding of what this fortress specifically represented - it wasn't until this time that he read through this passage and Brudy gradually realized that the city mentioned by Roddy seemed to be some... It's not quite the same.

“… On the 2nd of July, news of the fall of the fortress of Elson struck a blow to all the High Elves. As the only fortress outside of the imperial city of Wagra, Elson attracted the vast majority of the orcs' firepower for three years after the war began, and as one of the few fortresses with 'consciousness,' no one believed it would be breached, some say that Elson's fall was not because of the orcs, but—"

The handwriting on the back was a little blurry, and Brudy couldn't read it for a long time, but he didn't understand it after all, and turned a few pages: some other information was recorded on it: "... Khadgar, the great arcanist and guardian of Elson, has fallen, and eyewitnesses have confirmed that after the city's barrier was destroyed, Khadgar used the "Time Loop" forbidden spell to permanently seal down the entire fortress... And return the fortress's self-consciousness to a state of chaos..."

The contents of what he saw one after another were called "secrets", and these unknown historical details made Brudy fall into deep thought-although I don't know what the current level of magic research of the Dao humans has reached, what can be confirmed is... The level of magic that can give birth to "self-awareness" in arcane is absolutely unmastered by the current human race, and they have not even heard of it.

What is the effect of the "Time Loop" forbidden spell? How long will it last? These are questions that Brudy doesn't know either, and the books behind him may find the answers — but it will take time.

Slowly closing the book in his hand, Brudy closed his eyes slightly, and after carefully recalling, he began to solemnly write down the general content he found on the back of this letterhead, and after a while, he handed back the folded letter to Nata, and then asked, "Roddy didn't explain anything else?" ”

"He said he was going to circulate here... What is the currency in circulation," Nata thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and unconsciously carried a hint of resentment in her tone, "I will return with the team after the team completes the trading task, this is the task he arranged." ”

Nata rarely said so much, Brudy could clearly feel her dissatisfaction at this time, and wanted to persuade her, but thinking of her temper, she finally shook her head and whispered, "If you're tired, come back." ”

Naturally, such words were not answered, and Nata looked away in silence, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking in his heart.

Brudy didn't say anything else, and when the conversation was over, Nata left the tree hole and went to the clearing. At this time, Elsa's village is unprecedentedly lively because of the human caravan that has just arrived-

The Wood Elves were intrigued by the piles of goods, tall Templars, shiny armor, pack horses, and other novelties, and although they did not understand the language, the exchange of gestures and expressions was basically common, and it was a feeling of "full of people" in the village that was usually unusually quiet.

The caravan not only sells things, but also buys the herbs and animal skins left by the wood elves themselves, and the fat man Henry is like the leader of the caravan at this time, and he does not forget to "buy" the goods in the hands of the villagers at the average price of Parr Town, but obviously the wood elves still generally accept "barter", and they are not interested in currency.

Looking around, Nata saw Hugo waving a knife with curiosity, and an older elf running by with honey in a clay pot, followed by a group of hungry insects who wanted to try it - this scene made her feel that her mission was really boring... Expectedly, he should practice archery under the guidance of Luo Di.

Even if it's just to practice shooting, it's better than just hanging out here.

The more she was free, the clearer the resentment towards Roddy became, and Nata pursed her lips slightly, and was about to take a look at the outskirts of the village, but when she turned her eyes to the jungle not far away, she suddenly stopped.

Knowing that Suosuo's voice came, Nata was no stranger to it before, because this was usually the movement brought by the hunters in the village when they returned from outside, but I don't know why, after listening to it for three or four seconds, a little uneasy emotion suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart, she frowned and looked at the people in the village who were still unaware of the Templars, and after thinking about it, she ran towards Buffon, who was standing guard on the periphery...
