Chapter 57: Help Me
Since the last misunderstanding, Monte and Rocky have drifted apart, although he did not leave early when he was in the City of Sleepless, but he did not continue to follow Rocky in the following days, and the two have basically not talked much since then.
And just after returning to Thunderhawk City, Monte went to find Lilia and told her that she was leaving.
It can be seen that the incident last time really disappointed Monte with Rocky, and even the original idea of observing in Thunderhawk City for a period of time was directly dispelled, and he was going to leave as soon as he returned.
Lilia knew in her heart that Monte had misunderstood the weapon, but she couldn't explain it to him, so she had to come to Rocky.
"You go and bring Monte to the City Lord's Mansion and go directly to the research room to meet me. ”
"Research...... Rocky, do you want to?"
Hearing Rocky's words, Lilia was slightly stunned, because only she could understand the meaning of Rocky's words.
"Go ahead, I know what I know. ”
Without explaining it to Lilia, Rocky just told him to bring Monte as he had told.
Monte's departure was not a surprise, at least for Rocky, because Monte's personality was easy to guess, and as an orc, he had no interest in beating around the bush, and it was perfectly normal for him to do this kind of thing.
However, Rocky naturally had a way to explain the misunderstanding between the two, and after giving Lilia a word, he also looked at Erin.
"Erin, don't leave yet, come with me to the lab, I have something to say to you. ”
“...... Ok ......"
Originally, Erin had planned to leave at this time, after all, she still had a job in her hands, but when she heard Rocky say this, she had no choice but to stay, and she felt a little strange in her heart.
When did a research room come up in the City Lord's Mansion? It was the first time Lilia had heard of such a thing, so she couldn't help but be curious.
After this, Lilia went to find Monte, and Rocky took Erin to his laboratory first.
It didn't take long for him to bring Erin into the research room, and as soon as she walked through the door of the research room, Erin was dumbfounded by what she saw!
Rocky's research room is full of all kinds of research equipment, this is nothing, but as a shrewd businessman, Irene's eyesight is far beyond the average person, so she can tell at a glance that these equipment are not from the current era, these equipment are from the terrestrial era!
This discovery made Erin secretly feel emotional, and when she looked more closely, she found that there were still many weapons and equipment in the room, which seemed to be used for research, and even Rocky's air demon armor was placed in the room.
Even the Sky Demon Armor was used, what was Rocky studying......
What she saw could be said to have surprised Erin, and how shrewd she was, and after a brief moment of surprise, she immediately understood why Rocky had brought her here.
And the thought of what Rocky might be doing next made Erin's heart start pounding, and she felt that something big might happen today, and it was likely to have a profound impact on her!
"Sit casually. ”
At this time, Rocky, who brought her to the research room, didn't say much, just asked Erin to find a random place to sit down, obviously planning to speak after everyone arrived.
Shortly afterward, the door to the research room was pushed open again, and Lilia arrived with Monte.
Unlike Erin, who was thoughtful and intelligent, Monte, who was brought by Lilia, didn't notice anything unusual about the laboratory, and he glanced at Rocky when he walked into the research room, and then stood silently aside.
"Now everyone is here......"
When Monte was also brought, Rocky stood opposite a few people, and saw that he didn't say anything polite, he directly picked up the rune sword, and at the same time slowly said: "This long sword was found by me in a lost research institute on land. ”
With such a simple sentence, Erin and Monte opposite him were both stunned!
"This longsword doesn't have a name, but I think it can be called a rune sword, because these patterns on the longsword are called magic runes......"
Rocky ignored Erin and Monte, who were already stunned, and activated the magic rune on the long sword as he spoke, and after an instant, the long sword in his hand shone brightly, and at the same time, Rocky waved his hand lightly, and with a bang, a sword light appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"This kind of magic rune was invented by a master named Wensel during the Land Age to replace the Philosopher's Stone. ”
After saying this, Rocky looked at Erin and Monte, and then happened to see the surprised expressions of the two of them gasping for air.
In fact, as soon as Rocky spoke, the two of them were already stunned, and when Rocky told him about the magic runes, both Erin, who had expected it, and Monte, who was completely unprepared, couldn't help but gasp!
Mana Rune ...... Could it be the top magic technology from the Lost Institute!?
That's what Rocky just said, right?!
Thinking back to everything Rocky said just now, although the content was very concise, it made both of them not react for a long time, and even wondered if they had misunderstood.
And if they understood correctly, it was a shock to Erin and Monte.
The two of them, one an incredibly clever merchant and the other an experienced demon hunter, didn't need Rocky to explain the purpose of the magic rune in detail, the two of them had already thought about the huge potential of this technology.
So when Rocky looked at them, they also looked at Rocky, their faces full of incredulity, the two of them never thought that Rocky had mastered the top technology with such potential!
They didn't expect Rocky to tell themselves about it so lightly, knowing that once this kind of thing was spread, it would cause a shock in the whole sky!
At this moment, Rocky continued to speak, and then he told Erin and Monte in detail about the remote and feasible uses of the magic runes.
By the time he stopped, Erin and Monte, who were standing across from him, were completely stupid, and they were standing there as if they were dead, and their minds were even more blank.
"Your Excellency, you ...... You shouldn't have told us that......"
Completely uncontrollable, Erin whispered, not only did she feel that Rocky shouldn't have said it, but she even felt that she shouldn't have listened to it, because even if she heard it, it could lead to trouble!
"I know. ”
Erin's whispering was heard by Rocky, who saw that his face was full of helplessness, and said with incomparable self-deprecation: "Such a top-notch technology has fallen into the hands of a city lord like me, and it is really not a good thing to think about it." ”
With a self-deprecating smile, Rocky looked at Erin and Monte:
"I also know that once this kind of thing gets out, Thunder Eagle City and I will be finished, and I have even thought more than once that it would be good to simply buy the magic rune as a commodity, at least then I can save my life. ”
"But every time I think about it, I'm - unwilling!!"
As he spoke, Rocky's expression changed, and the helplessness and self-deprecation on his original face disappeared at this moment: "I am not willing to be the lord of a small city forever, I am not willing to let my city be bullied forever, I am not willing to live a life like this!"
"So, I'm going to give it a go!"
"I want to fight with the magic runes, I want to rely on the magic runes to make Thunder Eagle City gallop in the sky, I want to fight with those giant beasts in the sky, and those demons on the land, I want to compete with them!"
"But ......"
"I can't do it, I can't do it alone......"
With that, Rocky looked at Erin and Monte.
"So, I decided to tell you about it, and tell you everything without reservation. ”
"I hope you can help me!"
