Chapter Seventy-Six: On the Carriage

"Really?" Catherine's thin eyes suddenly widened, and she stared at Yenifa with a frown, as if to see through his thoughts, "Others dream of this kind of honor and fame, but don't you feel a little hypocritical here complaining that you are too famous?"

"Honor, reputation, why should I be interested in such a thing?" said Yenifa with a dumb laugh, "does honor give you strength, does fame give you great strength, does it make you live longer?"

"Obviously, no!" Yenifa waved in the air, as if to cut something off, "since these false names and titles do not bring me any real benefit, they are no different from dung...... Of course, if the people in the trading area are willing to give me some discount because of my fame, that's a different story. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Yenifa's words are entirely from the heart, and there is no falsehood in the slightest.

After all, this world is very different from the earth, the group of wizards is basically a group of more selfish people, even if some people are relatively selfless, it is only relative to other wizards, a wizard cannot make a loss-making business, if it is good to you for no reason, then there must be another purpose.

And Yenifa has been influenced by this atmosphere in the Earl family for more than six years, and his current style of acting is gradually moving closer to that of wizards, and the set of values in his previous life has almost been forgotten by him, and now Yenifa is a standard pragmatist, and everything that has no practical meaning is all waste in his eyes.

However, Yenifa's set of values is obviously different from Catherine's, after hearing Yenifa's set of words, Catherine couldn't help but look at Yenifa with some incredulity: "Your idea is really special, honor and reputation are not as useless as you think, otherwise there would not be so many people pursuing it, with fame, you will be much more convenient in the wizarding circle in the future." ā€

Yenifa shook his head at Catherine's words: "Although I agree with you, and I know that fame will bring me a lot of benefits in relationships, but this is not what I want. ā€

"The interests built on interpersonal relationships and the power built on the social system, both of which are extremely fragile, once the interpersonal relationship and system collapse, or there is chaos, then these two will immediately disappear, only their own magic energy and spiritual power, no one can take it away, and they will always be held in their hands!" Yenifa clenched his fists and said firmly and forcefully.

Yenifa has seen many people who are fighting for a false name, and he has also seen countless people fighting to the death for a little power, and these actions are simply stupid in his eyes.

What's the use of a false name? In addition to hypocritically boasting to you when others see you, can it give you a little more magical power?

As for the power that attracts countless people to fight for? Please, people have a limited amount of time in this life, and instead of spending their time on the pursuit of truth, they will fight for power and profit, even if you get power, what is the use? After a few decades, it will not be reduced to a piece of loess. At that time, everyone else has been promoted from apprentice to official wizard, can you live a few decades longer than you, do you want power and?

This kind of thinking is rare even among wizards, and Catherine is obviously a little stunned by Yenif's maverick style, and her eyes have changed a little when she looks at Yenifah.

There is nothing to do in the carriage, although there is a charming beauty beside him, but the other party is a member of the Farr family, Yenifa does not dare to have any wrong thoughts for the time being, after a little conversation, the other party seems to be a little sleepy, leaning on the carriage and dozing like this, Yenifa also took out a parchment scroll and looked at it.

At this point, I have to go down to this snakeskin belt that Yenifa carries around his waist and doesn't look special, this is a precious piece of space equipment!

Don't get me wrong, the space equipment mentioned here is not something like a "space ring" or a "dimensional pocket", that kind of thing is difficult to make even a second-level wizard, only those experts who have been immersed in space witchcraft for a long time in the second-level wizard can make a space ring like that, and the snakeskin belt of Yenifa only uses a little space conversion skills.

In fact, this snakeskin bag and a large leather box are a set of objects, the large leather box is about the size of a single bed, like a coffin, it cannot be opened without a lid, and the only communication with the outside world is the snakeskin bag.

The leather case is tightly sealed, and the access to the items is carried out through the snakeskin bag, you throw a book into the snakeskin belt, the book will appear in the large leather case through the spatial transformation, and you can take out the contents of the leather box from the snakeskin bag.

The way this thing works reminds Yenifa of a game on Earth called Minecraft, where there is an item called the "Ender Chest" that also uses this to access items.

Before taking it away, Yenifa had stored all the equipment and potions that might be needed, as well as the books and materials, in the box through the snakeskin belt, and now even though he was far away, he could still take out the parchment scrolls in the box through the snakeskin bag and read them.

What Yenifa is reading now is the family's accident report on the silver mine incident in Shining Silver, and on the day of the accident, the lord of Shining Silver, a viscount, instructed his subordinates to inform the wizard in the nearest city of the details of the investigation of the accident, and the wizard wrote the accident report.

Since the wizard who wrote it hadn't been to Shining Silver to investigate, the content here was all information provided by the viscount and the miners, so it is unknown how much of it was useless information, or even misinformation.

"I'm Jack, a resident of Shining Silver, and a miner at the Silver Mines under the Viscount, damn it! I've had enough of this job, I think I'll have to find another job somewhere else! ā€

Yenifa read the report at a glance and line by line, while constructing a timeline of events in his mind.

"I was drinking there with another co-worker, and we used to sneak alcohol into the mine, and when we were tired from work, we would take two sips in our spare time, bragging, which was usually like this, and it was the same at the time, but soon things became different!"

"I almost forgot what we were talking about, but I thought it was nothing more than which woman was stealing a man again, which place was hotter and so on, and as I was talking, I suddenly realized that I was the only one talking loudly, and the co-workers who were drinking with me didn't know how to keep quiet. ā€

"When I looked back, old Locke was lying on all fours, and I thought the guy was just drunk, but after a while, I noticed the heaving of his chest, and I tentatively reached over to get a sniff out of his snort, and it turned out ...... Results ......"

"As soon as I put my hand on it, Old Locke's body was as cold as an ice cube that had been frozen for hundreds of years, and my hand was frozen off a layer of skin, you see, I still have bandages on my hands! I vaguely seemed to see the shadow of the guy who killed Old Locke, it was a white shadow, it was definitely a ghost!"

This was the end of Jack the Miner's account, and it was the Viscount's investigative report.

"My men entered the mine, three knights, such a lineup even if they meet the fierce lions, they have the strength to fight, these three knights are the elite of my family, I equip them with the best armor and broadsword, because the miner said that the 'ghost' can freeze people to death, so the three knights I selected are all masters with fire and flame magic energy, I thought that I should be able to restrain the other party, no matter how bad it is, I can escape. ā€

"But none of the three knights came out until the last one, and I later sent the clan scouts in, but they didn't come out, and we have reason to believe that they have died in the mines. And at this time, the cold in the mine has spread outward, what happened to the miner before was in the depths of the mine, and now the cold can be felt in the middle of the mine. ā€

This is the end of the narrative, and the next thing is some conjectures and assumptions made by the wizard who wrote the report based on these clues, although there is no actual evidence, but the assumptions of the other party are very instructive, and Yenifa can't help but read this part several times, these assumptions and conjectures are precious to him.

"Juvenile Frost Wraith, Frost Fury, Yin Spirit?" said Yenifa revisited a few more likely conjectures, and then took out a few books explaining spirits and various species that favored spirit types, and looked up the details of these creatures.

Yenifa never cares about the time when he reads, once he reads the book, he basically forgets the existence of time, unless someone specifically reminds him, or he goes on the alarm clock, otherwise he is not aware of how much time has passed.

As he finished reading a note written by a wizard about fighting the Frostfury and dissecting it, he looked up to find Catherine looking at Yenifa with a speechless expression on her black head.

Yenifa felt uncomfortable being stared at with such strange eyes, so he looked around to find out why Catherine looked at him the way he did, and soon he knew what the reason was.

When Yenifa was studying these materials, as soon as a point came up, Yenifa would look for descriptions of the point in other books, so that the best understanding could be obtained when taken together, but in this way, you would almost empty all the books in the suitcase, and all kinds of documents would be spread all over the wagon, except for Catherine, and the rest of the place was full of books spread out.

Yenifa looked at the messy carriage and couldn't help but smile apologetically at Catherine with some embarrassment.
