Chapter 16 Separate Actions
Getting from the town of Galil to the city of Tarakhan is not a walk-and-go trip. There will be many places along the way, and there are many things to confirm. And it's a long way to go, and it's going to take many days, so you have to have the right means of transportation – like a horse-drawn carriage or something.
Not only that, but the teammates set off in the morning to study the stone warehouse, and they haven't come back yet. Even if you want to go, you have to wait until they come back.
When the panda returned to the hotel and was about to leave, he encountered these problems.
Listening to Sleepless and Bookworm, he listed all kinds of problems, emphasizing that it was impossible to start today, his brows tightened, and his expression was very serious and annoyed.
"There's really no way around it. Sleepless said, "We can't leave Harmony and them behind, let's go first." ”
The panda took a deep breath and checked his belongings.
There are a lot of dry food and drinking water, flint and steel for sleeping in the open, thick blankets and the like, some herbal medicines for emergency use, and most importantly - money.
"Good, that's enough. ”
He nodded, muttering to himself.
"What are you talking about?" asked Sleepless.
The panda smiled and stood up.
"I'll go first. ”
With that, he walked straight to the outside of the hotel.
"Hey!wait!" Sleepless shouted, "We just had dinner with the Galil Knight at noon, and you're going to leave when you come back now, it's hard to explain!"
The panda's footsteps did not stop: "You can find a way to explain, just tell me the result." ”
"You're so irresponsible, aren't you?"
"Those who can work hard, I believe in you. ”
The panda's steps were great and fast, and in a few words, he had already descended the stairs, and under the surprised gaze of the innkeeper, he went out towards the gate of the town of Galil.
Sleepless watched him stride away from the window, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"And the home counts?" asked the bookmaniac.
The corners of Sleepless's mouth twitched: "Please speak the lingua franca." ”
"What now?"
"What else can I do?" Sleepless smiled helplessly, "I'll go to the Knight of Galil to explain." ”
"How do you explain it?"
“...... There's always a way. Sleepless walked out dejectedly, "I can always come up with a reasonable explanation." ”
About an hour later, he came back with a wry smile, bringing with him a bag of gifts of great value.
Heyin and the others had already returned, and were waiting for him in the room, and at this moment they gathered around and asked what was going on.
"I said, 'Master Panda was about to rest just now, when suddenly his heart moved, and he felt an evil aura, so he hurried out, and I couldn't stop it.'" ”
"Damn! That's fine?" True Cruel's eyes widened, "Hammer! Is he stupid?"
"Of course he wasn't stupid, so I spent a long time explaining to him that although Master Panda looked like an orc, he was actually an orc, but he was not an ordinary orc, but an orc sage from across the sea who had inherited the ancient oriental culture. They can look at the air during the day and the stars at night, and pay attention to 'if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world'. The ideal is to 'establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations'......"
"You're...... Xingzhao couldn't help but say, "Beware of others accusing you of plagiarism." ”
"Mencius and Zhang Zai have been dead for a long time, and the copyright has long expired. ”
"Mencius, I know, who is Zhang Zai?" Jian Thirteen asked.
"An ancient. Xingzhao explained simply, "These are the four sentences that have been famous for a lifetime." ”
"That's what the Knight of Galil believes?" asked Kazune.
Sleepless spread his hands: "Whether he believes it or not, anyway, I can only explain it like this, so I have the right to believe it." ”
As he spoke, he opened the package, which contained some fine pastries, many gold and silver coins, and a few small and handy pieces of equipment.
The Knight of Galil was an old man, and he knew very well what kind of gifts others needed, and the things he gave were all very useful to the traversers.
The pastry quickly entered Xingzhao's mouth, and although the bookrascia seemed to want to eat it too, under the murderous gaze of Ken Thirteen, he still wisely remained silent, not showing the slightest intention of grabbing food.
Coins and equipment are divided equally according to need. These pieces of equipment are simple magic items called "Defense Rings", which are the type that can slightly increase the defense of the wearer. This is one of the most popular pieces of equipment for adventurers, and it doesn't take up space and works well. If you wear one, it's almost the same as wearing a leather coat, which can be of great help in many cases.
Sleepless studied the rings carefully, and then his eyes lit up, and he told True Remnant to go out and buy some gems and come back.
"Sapphire or emerald?" "True Remnant Nian had also studied enchantment, and immediately guessed his intentions.
Both gems are enchanted consumables, the former can be used to strengthen defenses and the latter can be used to enhance health, both of which can be used to refine these defense rings.
Of course, there are other uses for these gems, but when combined with the Defense Ring, it seems that this is probably the only use.
"Emeralds are fine, sapphires are too expensive. "Actually, turquoise is enough, and it's not worth spending too high-end gems to strengthen it." ”
True Remnants quickly bought back some turquoise, which was also a type of gemstone, but it wasn't very expensive, and it was a very common thing - compared to those expensive gems.
Taking advantage of this time, Sleepless had already drawn a magic array on the floor of the room. In the magic array connected to the six-pointed star in the circle, runes are written all over the grid, which makes people dazzled at a glance, and they will be even more dizzy after looking at it for a long time.
"Tsk, it's just a small enchantment, as for using this level of magic array?" Looking at that magic array, Zhen Remnant shook his head again and again, "You are the rhythm of cannons fighting mosquitoes!"
"My skill level is low now, and my attributes are not high, so I can only think of other ways to improve the effect. Sleepless explained, put a total of seven defense rings into the circle drawn with silver powder in the center of the magic circle, and then evenly sprinkled the turquoise that was also ground into powder all over the entire magic circle outside the circle, and told everyone to help guard it, so he raised his wand and chanted a spell at the magic array.
His mantra was long, recited back and forth for at least four or five minutes. With the chanting of the incantation, the lines that made up the magic circle began to glow, and the light slowly merged with the turquoise powder covering the magic array, turning into something as if it was a cloud.
When the incantation was finished, Sleepless pointed his wand at the center of the magic circle, and the turquoise powder that had turned into clouds of gas roared into the central ring, and the entire ring was filled with green light, which gradually dissipated after several seconds.
When the green light dissipated, I saw that the turquoise powder had turned into a piece of black ash, and among the black ashes, seven metal rings covered with green light spots all over the body quietly shimmered with a charming luster.
