Chapter 25 Harvest-II-The second quest item, this is the Mandate of Heaven

In fact, the paladin also clearly sensed the existence of the Shadow Person, but did not reveal anything, and after the two followed Barov's butler through the small door, they spared a long list of secret passages, and finally entered a secret room.

The layout of the secret room is very ordinary, except for a desk and chair in the innermost, a row of bookshelves next to each other, and only four single sofas against the other two walls, a middle-aged man with gray hair sits on a chair behind the desk, looking at the two people who slowly walked in.

"Sit down"

Duke Alix waved the butler back, and with a sound of the door closing, the two paladins sat firmly on the sofa against the right wall.

"The last time I saw you, you were still a half-sized kid, and it's been more than ten years. After staring at Marseilleu for a long time, Grand Duke Alix spoke slowly.

And the paladin, who was staring at the other party as soon as he entered the door, frowned and looked at him, and instead glanced at the mage sitting next to him.

"How is your strength..."

"There was a little accident, a trap, or rather a trap that we Barov willingly stepped into. Looking at the paladin calmly, the former high-ranking warrior, Lord Barov shook his hand, the original terrifying power has now disappeared without a trace, so fragile, it even reminds him of the time when he was a professional in his childhood.

After hearing the other party's explanation, Kyrreth carefully reconnoitred it, and after finding that the other party was completely unconscious, he was immediately stunned by the data that had been transmitted.

Name: Alix Barov

Race: Human

Attribute: Intelligence -8

Constitution -5

Strength - 4

This is not even as good as the attributes of an adult ordinary male human, and for Duke Barov, who is a high-level berserker, it is outrageously low. Except for the slightly gloomy aura that only Kelrith could perceive as a mage, the Duke Barov in front of him was an ordinary person inside and out, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was even a decrepit old man.

Shaking his head slightly at the inquiring gaze handed over by the paladin, the mid-level mage said tentatively.

"Lord Duke, I haven't heard of a way to make a high-ranking warrior completely lose his power, I don't know..."

"Ahem!" Just as the mid-level mage spoke, the paladin beside him tugged at the corners of his mouth and coughed lightly before explaining in a low voice to the illiterate man beside him.

"Yes, and a lot..."

"Uh..."He glanced at the paladin embarrassedly, and then glanced at the Duke who was sitting there calmly, he was still able to be so calm after losing all his strength, worthy of a man who had called for wind and rain in World War II.

"I see that Jandis doesn't seem to have lost his strength?" the paladin turned to look at the Duke, his tone still unpretentious.

However, the mage on the side pulled his mouth, but did not speak, the power of the mage comes from the source of spiritual power, and there are only two mages who lose the source of spiritual power, either burp or idiot.

"Except for her, most of the family mages are the same as me..."Speaking of this, Duke Barov's face finally leaked a trace of gloom.

"Do you need me to stay?" There was a moment of silence before the paladin looked up at the duke.

"Marseth...", looking at the paladin in a daze, Alix was in a trance for a long time before he said.

"Forget it, Barov has the fate of Barov, and you also have your Arashi, just like Anduin said at the beginning, I am no longer an Arashi..."

The secret room fell silent for a while, and the duke knocked on the table, the door opened, and the second butler, who seemed to have been waiting at the door, walked in.

"Love, take them to receive Barov's thanks, Malseis, and I'm glad to see you again!" said the Grand Duke, staggering to his feet.

Wordlessly, he glanced at the wild noble son in front of him, who had been a wild nobleman on the battlefield of Weihe World War II, the paladin turned his head and walked towards the door, and the middle-level mage behind him also followed silently.

"Lothar's death, I really don't know. Little Marl, I really don't know...", struggling to prop up the table, Duke Barov couldn't help but speak to the back of the paladin.

The paladin was stunned when he heard this, and then accelerated past the second butler at the door and walked out, and behind him, the middle-level mage followed silently as if he had completely blocked the sounds around him.

The Duke sat back in his seat when the door of the chamber was securely closed, but a small door suddenly appeared in the corner behind him, and a young man came softly.

"Father, let Lothar know the weakness of the family at this time, is it okay?"

"If you want to comment on the most rigid wood-minded man in the world, he counts forward, and as long as there are no loopholes on our side, no one can hear anything from his mouth. But... That elven mage..."

Touching a small pinch of beard on his chin, the duke's face gradually turned cold.

"When he gets out of the island, look for a chance to make him disappear. ”

"Yes..."

"Here are all my collections, you can pick and choose. ”

In a huge secret room, the female mage of Barov has changed into the dress of a noble lady, and the pure white skirt adds a bit of holiness to the already beautiful face, Gandis pointed to the magic materials on the rows of shelves and said, as the current highest-ranking mage of the Barov family, all the magic materials in the family have long been swallowed by her into her own treasure house, that is, this huge secret room, and she naturally can't treat Kelreth like those mercenaries, so the female mage specially opened her treasure house to him.

After pretending to wander in the treasure house for a long time, the middle-level mage slowly walked in front of his destination, something that he immediately sensed in the treasure house.

"You don't need to give me two copies, that's it. ”

The middle-level mage grabbed something like a bare withered twig in his hand, looked at the female mage who was following and said.

Looking at the branch that the elven mage was holding in her hand, the barov mage raised her eyebrows and smiled, from the moment Kelrith picked up such a thing without expression, she noticed that the other party seemed to be heading in a certain direction, just...

"Mage Tiris, although the Silent Night Branch is one of the few strange things that can stimulate the awakening of the spiritual power traits of mid-level mages, it will not grow truly useful Tranquil Leaves without the watering of Adamantite Resin. ”

"I know, but the other things you have here are too ordinary, and since you won't put out the really good things, I can only choose the most expensive one. ”

Putting away the branches of the Quiet Night, the mid-level mage replied coldly.

The biggest barrier to breaking through high-level mages is to awaken the spiritual power trait, in addition to relying on pure talent awakening, the high-level spiritual power forging method and special environmental infection have a certain chance of stimulating the awakening of the trait, but this probability is very low, that is, there is this possibility.

However, just like the steel transformation of a warrior, after thousands of years of development, it is impossible for mages to be blocked by the threshold of only high rank, as far as Kellreth knows, there are several ways to stimulate the awakening traits of mid-level mages, but any of them requires extremely rare magic materials, and the Silent Night Branch is one of them.

According to legend, this is the essence of the heart of the tree that grows in the core energy of Quel'Salas, and the remnants of the magic energy tree near the sunwell, which can only be produced by the ancient tree for more than 10,000 years, under the watering of the resin essence that can only be produced by the ancient tree for more than 10,000 years, it can grow one or two fleeting green leaves again, and this green leaf, known as the leaf of tranquility, has a very high stimulating effect on the awakening nature of the mage.

However, the magic tree that grows near the sunwell, even ordinary High Elves may not be able to see it, especially this secret art seems to have been passed down from Quelsala, as a magical race, the High Elves must have a great demand for this precious material, so the Quiet Night Tree Branch is extremely rare in the human kingdom.

However, aside from the Quiet Night Branch, which is still a goal, the scarcity of Adamantite resin is even higher, because there are not many ancient trees that are more than 10,000 years old in the human kingdom, most of them are hidden in inaccessible places such as the silver pine old forest, and the cycle of ancient trees producing resin is very long and there is no law to follow at all, the most pitiful thing is that the older the ancient tree, the better the resin effect, but its volatility and preservation difficulty are also higher, and naturally it will only exist for a day or two at most before it will dissipate, so it is almost an unattainable thing, but...

The middle-level mage's spiritual power probed into the spatial ring, and a small ball of black resin was placed in the corner, which was the bait that the other party gave to Kelreth in the Silver Pine Forest, and it was also the bait that Kelryth threw out in order to survive...

Adamantite resin
