Chapter 32: The Best
Although there was a lot of trouble yesterday, but by accident, two troubles went smoothly as never before: his parents unexpectedly agreed to let him go on a trip, and the little fox, who had never dumped him much, immediately became a good baby when he heard that he could go home. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It's as if there's a force in the dark that is helping him clear the way and make his wishes come true.
Rhodes began to prepare for his trip in a month's time. He has always been lazy and afraid of trouble, but this time when he met his parents, he finally changed his mind, so he naturally tried to behave seriously and diligently, for fear that his immature and steady behavior would make his mother regret it, and after a meal a few days later, his mother stopped him when he was about to leave the dining room.
"How's the preparation?"
"Almost...... I made a list and added whatever came to mind. This is Roy's habit, and Rod rarely took it seriously this time, so he unceremoniously used the good method.
"Very good, but Mom also has something for you, so I'm ready to put it away. Raven first handed a small rucksack to her son: "This, shrink bag, when you go back to the house, organize and put all the things you want to bring inside." There are already a lot of high-level magic crystals in it, enough to support its operation for a year...... Take something with you when you put it in, so don't get stolen. ”
Props with storage space, although not a rare item, are in the lower price range of magic items, but they are rarely used: the trouble is that it needs to consume mana from time to time - the more things you put in it, the more expensive it is, and even if you can afford it, ordinary people can't afford it, and it's a luxury to use it for travel.
"Thank you, Mom!"
"Thank you, I'm not unusual, I want you to go out well and go home safely. The Duchess stroked the young man's slightly curly silver-gray hair, and took out another small object: "The ring, worn on the hand, is inlaid with magic crystals, and can be illuminated by the input of magic power, and the engraved side is facing the palm of the hand, and on it is the coat of arms of the Foster family, which can be used as a stamp, and you can also take it to withdraw money from any bank, but you must go to it yourself." ”
"Uh-huh. Rhodes took the inconspicuous pale gold ring and looked at the four-legged snake with horns on its head in a strange posture, and put it on his finger.
"Don't be absent-minded, keep it in your head. The woman was a little uneasy, and then picked up a piece of light white cloth on the table: "This underwear is used for self-defense, and it is worn on the body all the time." ”
"Self-defense?"
"Well, it's just unremarkable, but it's a rare treasure. Not only is it light and breathable, but it is also invulnerable. Ordinary magic and swords can't even leave a mark on it, let alone break it, and it's not afraid of fire. The mother nodded: "In other words, if it is dirty, just put it in the fire and roast it, and burn the filth and it will be renewed." ”
"It's so powerful, what are you made of?"
"The silk of the demonized giant spiders, they will spray this special spider silk to weave into egg sacs to protect their offspring, which is the source of this garment. The female mage suddenly smiled: "I also need it to protect my offspring, but unfortunately I can't produce silk, so I have to ask it to borrow it." ”
"Demonized giant spider?" Roy, who was sitting next to him and watching, was startled: "The book says that this spider only lives in the depths of the Magical Forest, and it is an 'extremely dangerous' demonized species. They don't rely on nets to hunt, they will only produce a little silk during the breeding period in their lives, and both sexes and males will guard the egg sacs, where can they get so much silk that can be woven into a piece of clothing?"
"We'll have to wait for your dad to come back and ask him, but it's not that hard. Raven smiled at her daughter: "I'll get you one next time, but your brother loves to get into trouble, so let's wear this one for him first." ”
"I don't need anything like that. Roy snorted, raised his chin and said stiffly: "If I'm not mistaken, this soft armor can only defend against sharp weapons cutting and corrosive curse magic, if it comes in handy, I'm afraid the person wearing it will already be in big trouble." ”
"Definitely. The woman turned back to her son again: "Your sister is right, the biggest advantage I gave you this soft armor is that there is no obstacle to movement, but the price is limited protection." It's invulnerable, it's not afraid of heat, corrosion, and magical attacks, but the person who wears it doesn't grow stronger, and if it gets hit hard or hurts its exposed parts, it can still be seriously injured or even lose your life, and I want you to swear - don't take the risk. ”
"yes, I see. The young man nodded: "I swear, I will never take the initiative to take risks." ”
***
Listening to his brother's assurance, Roy suddenly felt his heart being tugged by a big hand, and an inexplicable panic swept over him, as if he was about to lose something...... She glanced at the fearless young man in front of her, and wanted to make one last effort: "Rod, sister please, it's not so fun outside, stay-"
Rod glanced at his sister unhappily: Even his mother agreed, what are you fooling about? The two made eye contact, and the latter quickly understood the words in his eyes, and quickly put on a proud face: "Hmph, you swear now, you will forget as soon as you get out of the door of this house." ”
"No, I promise to take it to heart!" the boy immediately retorted to his sister's slander.
"Alright, keep listening. The mother interrupted the quarrel between the two children, and took out a small object from her arms, which was a very thin silver ribbon, the body of the chain shimmered with a lustrous luster, and a hollow metal ball was connected in the middle, which emitted a faint green light: "The Foster family has no enemies, and Grom is following, there are not many things that can threaten you." But the world is impermanent, and there are always some accidents that happen inexplicably, and no one can predict them, so ...... I want you to wear this necklace all the time. ”
"What's the use, amulet?"
"Well, there are a few spells I've worked on - it vibrates when someone is around you and there is a strong hostility towards you, or when you have malicious magic around you, and the more the amplitude, the more hostile or powerful the magic. The mother gently placed the necklace in the boy's hand: "If it is not only trembling but also hot, it means that this magic has already worked on you." In addition, there is a trick on this necklace that will let me know your general location. There are some extra effects...... You'll know when the time comes. ”
"So powerful!" Rhodes looked at the small object lying in the palm of his hand in amazement, in the hollowed-out soft silver ball, the transparent and round crystal exuded a smooth and restrained magic fluctuation, so faint that it was difficult to detect it when he left his hand - this aura strength meant two possibilities: either it was indeed an ordinary gadget, or it was a finely crafted top-level magic item that firmly locked all its energy and prevented the leakage of magic power.
"I want you to wear it close to you, whether you are sleeping or bathing. Raven turned her head to her daughter's chin and gestured, "Roy, you have learned so much magic, pick a small spiritual trick that does not hurt people, and let your brother see the effect of the necklace." ”
