Chapter Seventy-Five: The Spoils of War
The attack on the Tower of the Great Sage by the Dark Creatures coalition was silent on the forum. On the one hand, there were no witnesses, because that night, Lin had cleaned up everything and was not exposed to the eyes of the town's spies who would be messing around during the day. On the other hand, Lin is too lazy to 'show off' such things, and it makes sense to be a low-key talent.
Considering that he wanted to keep the spoils of war, Lin was very rough to strip all the dead into naked pigs, and then concentrated on cremation. And the peeled things are temporarily piled on top of the tower, and I will find time to screen them one by one.
Lin didn't forget the idea of studying the golden skeleton before, and deliberately kept a few relatively complete corpses, and a few corpses suspected of being a magician, and put them in the empty room on the second floor. The remains of the five Inquisitors that were previously used to converge the Cadiz Ward have been set up with frozen magic circles and simple enchantments, all of which have been retained and are now being used.
In the next few days, with the assistance of two little assistants, the great cause of dissection and research was launched. Letting the two girls assist is also because the opportunity is rare, but there are not always dark elves and dwarves who can cut and play. If you don't take advantage of this time to learn more and gain more knowledge, then when will it be?
Moreover, they are not averse to such things. The reason why I had an emotional breakdown before was also because there were too many people who died, and it was too miserable. And one or two lying on the dissecting table, it is similar to the feeling of hunting cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and other creatures, dismembered and made into food. Therefore, they can correct their mentality and look at all this with the mood of learning. It can only be said that the children who are obsessed with the ground have very thick hearts.
In short, after a few days of operation, Lin You felt that he had gone the wrong way and moved towards the specialization of the School of the Undead.
I have done all the tests that can be done at this stage; A few more complete shaved flesh were made into skull racks. If I didn't have Dr. Hannibal's heart, I should have considered how well cooked the shaved flesh was, or fried in water instead of burning to ashes.
When the matter came to an end, Lin only felt that everything he saw was still red, and his nose smelled of rot, and his whole tense nerves had reached a limit. If you continue to train yourself to a talent like Hannibal, you will be crazy. However, as a former fat house, the latter has a better chance.
Only then was the pile of loot ready to be disposed of. When he walked to the top of the tower where the items were temporarily stacked, he immediately regretted it.
What happens if it's covered in blood, and maybe there is feces and urine attached to it, and then it is piled up in the sun for a few days?
Gas! Definitely gas level! Just walking to the top of the tower, Lin had the urge to set fire and directly burn those large piles of things.
Call the two girls to help. One uses the wind technique to keep all three people upwind to avoid the unpleasant smell to the greatest extent; One uses the technique of ignition, which incinerates things that have no value. Lin put several layers of cloth on his mouth and nose, and used the fastest speed to sift through the piles of debris as high as a hill.
The most wasteful thing is the equipment of the dark elves. Many things die at the sight of the light, and if they are not directly turned into ashes under the sun, the effect of the enchantment will disappear, or even brittle, as if under a curse. So Lin thought he had fished out a bunch of high-end goods produced by elves, but he didn't expect it to be garbage that was worse than the copycat version.
However, a few rings have been retained, and the flow of mana power can be faintly felt, which should belong to magic jewelry, but what the function is still needs to be identified. In addition, there are some handwritten books stained with blood, which are recorded in a script similar to that of the elves.
He will say similar because Lin has also learned the language and writing of the elves. Because the source of some magical knowledge comes from the elves, in the maze world where translation has not yet become a trend, if you want to read a foreign language, you can only rely on yourself. The book records found this time are similar but not sentenced, and may be some regional slang, or simply the dark elves have developed their own language and writing system.
For these materials, Lin carefully retained. Blood stains may be difficult to clean, but there is a way to deal with the smell. And the content will be talked about later.
Transforming into a werewolf fully demonstrates the characteristics of being a human slave, that is, poverty. Most of the miscellaneous items were made of low-grade fabrics, but there were several heavy weapons remaining. It doesn't look like a high-end enchanted product, it feels like a shoddy iron lump. But the amount is enough, and if you return to the furnace, you can add a few catties of iron.
The gray dwarf side is the most sincere delivery brother. A variety of dwarven armor, shields, axes, maces, and more. Moreover, some of the high-end products also have special runes in the knowledge of the dwarves, which are not much more difficult than their distant relatives, the mountain dwarves.
It's a pity that all of these things are injured. As a defensive equipment, it is not difficult for Lin to imagine that in the hands of the previous owner of this armor, it was used to block several light ball attacks. Nowadays, it is very difficult to find a complete set. Only some relatively intact ones can be picked up, and the remaining ones can be recycled. Those with runes are all left, and they can be studied later.
The most generous are the vampire masters. The unimportant things will be automatically dusted, and the rest that can be scooped up from the dust are high-end products. There are all kinds of gems, jewelry, weapons, magic scrolls, and the content is also varied. Oddly enough, there is less armor, probably because of the race's natural ability to recover, which makes these self-proclaimed dark nobles dislike heavy armor.
Wait until several piles of garbage are burned, and the remaining valuable things are cleaned and cleaned, and deodorized treatment. The three of them worked so busy all day until the evening.
It will move so fast, but the working environment here is too poor, and everyone wants to end it as soon as possible, so it is inevitable to be hasty. Besides, Lin didn't want to leave these things for another day, who knows how terrifying the smell here will evolve tomorrow.
After finishing the rough sorting and cleaning, the next step is the head-scratching work - identification.
Appraisal is a university question. There is no old man in the world who can touch it with his obscene hand to find a miracle of Physique 2, Agility 3, and Colorful Glowing Jewelry.
Not to mention that there is no such thing as adding physique and agility, there are no more than three sources of effect of all magic items in the maze, such as magic arrays or magic runes engraved on artifacts, magic hidden in magic stones or gems, and items blessed or cursed through specific rituals.
In other words, the first two are essentially the realm of magical knowledge, and at the same time, like the materials used in the construction of magic towers, the materials of the artifacts that carry magic will affect the effect. The last one is more troublesome, because sometimes the maker himself can't guarantee that what will be done, and it is a question of how effective it will be, or even whether it will work.
Therefore, to identify a magic prop, it is to identify it from the material itself and the texture. Sometimes it is also necessary to understand the runes specific to elves or dwarves in order to see what an item can do.
As for blessings and curses, there is no other way to understand their effects than to wear them and feel them yourself. At this time, the most reliable thing is to feel that this thing is good or bad. Most of these things will eventually be labeled 'cursed', classified as a curiosity, and then end up in someone's hands as a collectible, or the ballast of the guild.
And this appraisal work has become something that Lin will only consider in his spare time. Because it's too troublesome, and it's not a small risk. Who knows if there is any magic in those jewelry and gemstones about storing the souls of the dead, giving the wearer a chance to meet the old man in a ring, which seems to be an opportunity, but in fact there is a conspiracy behind it.
So these awaiting identifications, after being sorted out, are stacked in the corner of the weapons room on the first floor. Recently, I have been mainly busy remelting those waste products into metal ingots.
Metal parts that can be disassembled and made of different materials are grouped together with their respective materials and re-melted.
The most troublesome thing is the metal block left over from the cremation of the aristocratic coalition. The mixed metals are separated and mostly re-refined using chemical extraction when on Earth. Although it is said that physics and chemistry are a family, but if you want to play chemistry with astrophysics as a major, which is basically more than the level of chemistry in high school, Lin will be blind. Therefore, we can only make a rough separation based on the difference in melting points.
This blind busyness is nearly five days. The remaining pile of items to be identified, Lin didn't want to touch them for the time being, and assigned a task to the two little apprentices by the way, that is, to verify what type of effect those items with obvious magic patterns belonged to.
In fact, since the two apprentices passed the first ring assessment, Lin has successively passed on the knowledge of the magic of the second and third rings. Even the three-ring magic, they are now able to perform it smoothly, but their proficiency needs to be improved.
Therefore, this identification topic can be regarded as a simple test to test the magic knowledge of two girls. By the way, it helped Lin reduce some of the pre-work on the identification.
And he himself wants to relax for the tiredness of the past few days.
If the army is against the army, the victorious side, the general will happily instruct the minions to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils. Or there are special organizations called 'corpse pickers' or 'mourners' who do this kind of thing, and then obediently offer the bulk of the profits.
If the army is attacking the tower, the mage can also instruct the inhabitants who live in the tower territory and are protected by it to do these finishing things. However, the group of people outside the Great Sage's Tower are not trustworthy, so they can only be done by the hard-pressed lonely people. Well, adding two more apprentices doesn't make things any easier.
So being approached by two groups of idiots who don't have long eyes in a row, Lin also felt quite angry and helpless. Honestly, he would rather not have these loot. But throwing it over there, not tidying it up, or throwing it away as waste, I'm really sorry for the collector who is a former fat house. Complaining after doing it seems to have become an unavoidable flaw in your character.
In the early morning when these things came to an end, Lin finished his nighttime stargazing and was catching up on his bed, when the Tower of the Great Sage welcomed a special guest. She covered herself under a large cloak. In a crisp and loud voice, he shouted, "Your Excellency the Tower Master is here." ”
