Volume II Chapter 79 Playing Cards
Augustine was pleasantly surprised: "You know?"
The old man laughed to himself, "Nibelon-Root Heart, of course I know. In the field of magic, except for some large ancient magic arrays that have not been cracked and surpassed by later generations, generally speaking, the more novel and powerful they are. This is a normal law of nature, whether it is a mage or a knight. There are very few giants and peaks that cannot be surpassed. This imprisoned magic array you have drawn is the pinnacle of the last two hundred years. It was written by an old friend of mine when he was younger, but it has not been circulated, and according to her, it was written before he walked out of the temple of the Mayan Snow Mountain, and it was explicitly forbidden to open the door in that favorite place of seclusion, because it was too taboo. Anything that comes close to the gods has always been regarded as a true heresy by the old immortals. For the sake of tobacco's face, I will tell you everything I know, the Nibelon-Root Heart, the core word is 'bloom', which is two extremes from the collapse in the magic book, little guy, don't you hide a dark gold puppet on your body, it is the best explanation of 'collapse', compressing the density of the material and spiritual dual levels of an object to the extreme, and 'blooming' is the maximization of dilution, this special dilution, and will not reduce the reduction of the original density, very scary, right? All kinds of elements in alchemy crack and explode, just follow this law, oh, it seems that it is not accurate enough to say this, I will say that the explanation is not suitable for me, forget it, you can listen to it casually, probably this is what it means, little Augustine, your nuclear weight capacity has actually reached a good scale, once you ' Bloom', at least it can reach the level of most golden clover mages in your empire, your holy empire, it's really shit luck, magicians are like magic gods who eat bad stomachs and have a big piece of it, which makes people greedy, hey, little guy, don't look at me with that kind of look, I don't mean I'm greedy for poop. ”
The viscount who didn't feel a pang of sadness because he lowered his normal IQ because he became a puppet, is this the puppet emperor he worshiped wildly back then?
The world has collapsed, and the spiritual pillar has collapsed.
The old man suddenly exclaimed, "Little one, don't tell you that you are carrying a Nibelon-Root Heart?"
Augustine said bitterly: "It's unfortunate. ”
"My old friend explained that the reason why it was named the Nibelon-Root Heart is that among the many dragons, only the heart of the frost dragon Nibel, which is a natural container of chaos, exists as an opportunity to make history, and is also the only dragon heart that does not wither immediately after being slaughtered by human warriors, only the Mayan Temple, which preserves half of the heart, is embedded in the eyeballs of the magic gods in the statues of the three gods, and she seems to have mentioned that only those who solve the 'Nibelon Paradox', which is known as the jewel in the crown of magic, can have that half of the heart. ”
The chattering old man took a closer look at the thin drawings a few times, then looked at Augustine, and asked tentatively, "St. Artemis, have you heard of this name?"
Augustine flashed a bright look, hesitated, and said, "If there is no accident, she is my childhood magic teacher." ”
This time it was the turn of the old Roman archduke with a convulsion in his face, a look of distress, and muttered, "O goddess of my crush." ”
The old man began to go crazy, and his eyes were burning and he asked, "Have you ever shaken her hand, have you ever been in a bed, have you eaten with her, have you ever seen her smiling face?"
Augustine rolled his eyes, ignoring the old man's unreasonable madness and fanaticism, this is the "bloom" of human nature.
The "little princess" of Hemmer behind the Grand Duke of Rome coughed slightly, and the old man reined in a little, touched his shriveled chin, and finally recovered a little bit of the demeanor of a pitiful big man, he slowly got up, " I should go back, Prince William's grandson, who thinks about me every day from the Caucasus, is starting to be restless again, it seems that he has really lost the last bit of patience, and sent three knights of the holy coffin and a sword saint to invite me into the coffin, hey, didn't I just say that whoever trains his daughter to be a slave girl will send a dragon, what an old-fashioned man who doesn't understand humor. ”
Old Rome stood up, but did not move, his eyes glancing at the remnants of tobacco on the table. The demigods behind him closed their eyes, and it was really sad to have such a shameless master.
Augustine reluctantly ordered Dimitt to ask the bookstore owner for all the fine tobacco, and the old man, who was able to provoke and tease the Titan God of War, held the box and smiled, but his words were quite sincere: "Little one, I am not your enemy, nor is I your friend. But in the Caucasus, interesting young people like you are always welcome. ”
Augustine, who got up together, smiled and said, "Old Rome, do you need me to personally send you out of Alpha City?"
The old man shook his head and rejected the offer.
In this case, Augustine, who was more businessman than a merchant, was not shy and said, "Then you quietly understand the structure of the new species of the Lich King, shouldn't you?"
Old Roman was one of the thickest old fellows Augustine had ever seen, "This trip is in a hurry, I'll talk about it next time." ”
In the face of the Roman Grand Duke, Augustine was not too angry and said, "Next time?
The old man did not give Augustine a chance to crusade against his despicable deeds, and snorted, and said softly, "Go, little one." It's a pleasure to meet you, if you can train Princess Barbara into a slave girl, old Rome will definitely give you the young dragon of Ekarin as promised. ”
Augustine said helplessly: "Except for you, who wants to be the enemy of the Titan God of War wearing Odin's great armor." ”
The Grand Duke of Rome, who had not had any majesty since he appeared in Augustine's field of vision, laughed happily, and did not know whether he was pleased with this compliment, or pleased with the fine tobacco in his hand, habitually snapped his fingers, and in an instant, a dozen fist-sized "Satanic rebels" appeared on the second floor of the bookstore - the Gray Nest, suspended in the air to form a constellation-like figure. This group of beautiful but terrifying gadgets is the core of the puppeteer. The Lich Prince looked fanatical, only the puppeteers who stepped into the high threshold, only the puppeteers who stepped into the high threshold, knew the horror of these gray nests, when the puppet emperor von Charlemagne opened up a lonely path of a single gray nest, he died after the pursuit of the Holy See, sure enough, countless later puppeteers followed in his footsteps, advocating the extreme of a single gray nest, judging the strength by the number of puppet traction lines, but there was a freak in the world who picked up the earliest puppet Bible, and was able to dominate several or even a dozen gray nests at the same time, this neurotic is the Roman Grand Duke who was abandoned by the Magic Guild and accidentally chose the puppet profession。
The old man stood in the middle of the gray nest and snapped his fingers. The tall, burly female demigod Hemmer half-crouched down, pressed one hand to the floor, and then slowly lifted it, pulling out a holy white light that was too dense to take on an astonishing substantial form from the palm of her hand.
Pulse point!
Augustine was amazed.
Artemis, a magic teacher, said that only demigods can travel half of the epic continent in an instant through veins.
Old Rome and his noble maid mysteriously disappear.
However, the dozen or so gray nests that had built a mysterious magic array did not disappear immediately.
Augustine immediately picked up a pen and paper and wrote it down, and this was the greatest gift the old man had ever given. The Greynest slowly retreated, and Augustine put away the drawings and placed them with Gabriel's silver box. Sitting by the window, he was stunned, in the past few years of the Night Watch, he has seen many powerful people with unimaginable abilities, the spiritual leader of the white magic of the Empire, the Teutonic priest, the butcher of the Night Watch known as the war maniac, the Earl of Wilde of the Swordmaster, the second knight of the Papal Hall who appeared in the Battle of Kepler's Gallows and killed a golden subspecies by himself, and then played a little joke with Augustine in Jupiter, and created countless new black magic "Mother of Black Sheep". St. Jerome, who was almost so sublime that historians thought that it could not be surpassed by posterity, but the hunchbacked old man, who was missing two front teeth and could not have looked comical at first glance, the Roman Grand Duke, who had no doubt about his strength and was the only human being who had personally proved the existence of the vein, walked so fast that Augustine did not have time to ask him more about his childhood magic teacher. But in any case, whether they were enemies, friends, or neutrals, Augustine thanked them, because it was they who made him dare not despise the world.
At this moment, in a secluded bookstore on the riverside of Witch Street, the black tea on the desk was already cold, and the strong smell of tobacco was blown away by the breeze. A young monk stared down at an old playing card, made of unparalleled dragon remains, when Danton, a black dragon far from the lair 120 years ago, fell into the territory of the White Rose Dynasty, the only set of dragon skeleton playing cards appeared in the apostle playing cards formulated that year, Augustine earned a lot of faith points in the night watch, but most of them were used to rummage through heretical books and find confidential information, which even the Teutonic priests expressed bewilderment, Augustine finally learned that the playing card in his hand was given by the magic teacher in that year"Black Emperor", painted with a goddess with a crown on her head, on the back is a black magic array in the top ten in the forbidden magic encyclopedia "Forbidden Zone", the pitch-black sun is inlaid with a round of exquisite arc moon, but Augustine did not find this pattern of the apostle playing card in the historical materials, but its material is indeed a real dragon remains, all of which cannot be reasonably explained.
Augustine slammed to his feet, put away his playing cards, burned the page with the Nibelon-Roots Heart to ashes, and then left the bookstore with the Viscount and Dimmit, the proprietor who was hiding in the corner never dared to come out to see him off, and now in Marceau, there was hardly any news about the fourth consul of the Sacramental Congregation. Kindness and friendliness are related to the beautiful words of goodness and friendliness, the philistines who ruled Mississippy Arena and ransacked Lauder Castle, the cruelty of killing Viscount Heber, the treacherous nature of collecting confessions and extorting gold coins, the conceit of demonstrating to the Condí family at the Villa of Paradise, and the recent bloody hand to the Champs-Elysées, where would the bookstore owner dare to expect such a devil to repay the dozen Caesars?
Coming to Madame Quentin's Pope's antique shop, sure enough, as expected when she first set foot in the antique shop, Madame Quentin built a small dark room to place her beloved treasures, although not as precious and rare as the conch-level poppy hot springs and Vulcan saliva that Augustine had at first, but they were of super-first-class quality on Witch Street, and after inquiry, she learned that Madame Quentin was a magician without a certificate, and the half-finished crystal wands in the antique store with a surplus of more than two grades were the result of her boring pastime, which made Augustine feel a little shocked, but did not show itWhen Augustine was very nouveau riche poured a whole bottle of turquoise "Flame" into Gabriel's silver box, the dark yellow puppet immediately trembled, expanded, contracted, and kept circulating, and after a few minutes, the whole puppet showed a full golden yellow, and Mrs. Quentin, who was originally a little distressed, witnessed the wonderful eating of the dark gold puppet, and her mood was barely better.
Augustine said very politely: "The ownership of the 'Pope' belongs to me, and the management rights belong to Lady Fiona outside." You don't have the right to meddle in buying and selling, except for looking at the store. ”
Lady Quentin looked displeased.
Augustine laughed: "But you can use the materials of the Champs-Elysées monopoly store to create magic items that you think are interesting, and after you sell them, you can get a certain percentage of the dividends." ”
Mrs. Quentin was still weak, and her eyes were full of sadness as she looked at a room full of things.
Augustine didn't care about comforting a woman's grudges, and picked an aria-level black crystal magic staff, the aria is at the tenth level, lower than the epic level, but higher than the praise level, his Titan dragon eye because it is the core of activating the magic array of God's left eye, can not leave the graveyard of poetry for a long time, for magicians, not everyone can easily control too many magic items beyond their own strength, certainty, is a crucial point of magic, for example, a sword butterfly magician, it is impossible to use an epic or aria-level staff, it is not easy, and it is not safe, no one wants an originally docile magic skill to become an irritable wild horse that cannot be tamed。 This kind of senseless casualty is a shame for magicians, so the official government of the empire clearly stipulates that the items of the respective level of magicians match the level.
Augustine, wielding the staff of aria Sombra, stepped out of the antique shop and into the carriage engraved with the emblem of the first golden scales of the new order of the Congregation of the Holy Sacraments.
Slowly travel to the imperial capital.
