Chapter 56: Obsidian
After a brief introduction between Bruce and Matthew, the three of them set out to look for a place where they might store good things.
As Bruce walked, he accosted Matthew: "Matthew, your luck is really good, not long after you came in, you found two cockscomb stones, like me and Aaron, who were too lucky, and were actually passed into a canyon where birds don't, except for a pile of rocks, there is nothing." ”
As soon as he mentioned the location where he was teleported in, Bruce was very depressed for a while, and he was very envious of Matthew's good luck.
"Don't be discouraged, maybe we'll make a big discovery later! Anyway, we have three days, and it's only been half a day now, so it's not a small chance for friends." Matthew smiled and comforted.
"You're right, I hope so, I don't come in with excitement and go back empty-handed disappointed. Bruce is right to think about it, anyway, there is still a lot of time left, don't be too anxious, and sweep away the previous depression.
Bruce and Matthew seemed to be speculative along the way and chatted hotly.
Watching the two of them chirp and talk crookedly while walking, Aaron sighed helplessly: "It seems that Matthew is still the same, Bruce's tease, this chatter stimulated this chatter, I guess it will be annoying in the future!"
The three of them walked together, but unfortunately they never found it, and the sky gradually darkened, and the visibility was too low at night, so they had to find a random place, set up camp, stop to rest, and wait for dawn to go on the road again.
Sitting around the campfire, Aaron asks about Matthew's experience after his trip to Als Lake.
After listening to it, Aaron could only feel that he was the patron of Lady Luck, and as soon as he went there, he met the elders of his family from decades ago, and this person became the mentor inside.
Matthew was taken care of by him, and he himself was lucky, when he went out to do tasks, he had two good opportunities, passed all the way, and with the help of his elders, it was basically smooth, so he was promoted to a third-level apprentice in such a short time.
Even Bruce was very amazed at Matthew's luck, feeling that this guy got the cockscomb stone as soon as he entered the secret realm, as if he deserved it, looking at Matthew's experience, it can only be said that his luck was so good that he exploded!
At night, the three of them chatted a lot, and Aaron felt like he was back in high school, going camping with his best friends, and he hadn't felt this way in a long time.
Maybe tonight is Aaron's happiest night so far when he came to this other world, and Bruce and Matthew can be regarded as Aaron's good friends.
For friends, Aaron cherishes it very much, and hopes that the relationship with these two people in the future can be as harmonious as now, in his opinion, friendship is a precious and rare thing, real friendship is not something you want, especially in this world that speaks by strength.
Maybe one day, when the gap between Aaron and them is huge, we won't be able to sit together and chat happily and trust each other as we do now.
In any case, Aaron didn't want to be like this, but no one can say what the future holds, or maybe not......
At this time, somewhere in the secret realm.
A middle-aged man, as if he had sensed something, looked at a distant place and said to himself, "I feel it!
The next morning, Aaron and the others got up early and started to move, the time in this was limited, it was very precious, and they didn't want to waste it sleeping.
Given that they listened to Matthew talk about their experiences last night, both Aaron and Bruce felt that he was in good luck and simply asked him to lead the way, maybe the good luck will continue forever.
Although Aaron didn't think it was very reliable, he and Bruce didn't have a clear direction to target, and letting Matthew choose the route might be a good decision.
In this regard, Matthew naturally has no opinion, so he will blindly follow one direction, and then lead the way.
I don't know how long they walked, they haven't gained anything, Bruce has lost the optimistic form he was at the beginning, is it sighing, can't hold his breath at all.
Aaron is okay, although he has not gained anything, he still maintains a peaceful form.
"You see, there's a little puddle ahead, why don't we go cool off, we should stop and rest for a while after walking so long. Matthew, who was walking in front, suddenly saw a waterhole in front of him, so he opened his mouth to say.
"Okay, let's go take a dip in the water and relax. Aaron also felt that it was time to take a break, relax and take a cool shower.
Bruce didn't object, and followed the two of them towards the waterhole.
Puff !!
Coming to the waterhole, Matthew was the first to take off his robe and jump into the pool, splashing in all directions.
Immediately afterward, Aaron and Bruce also jumped into the waterhole to cool off.
"Hint! Hint! Lower right zài unknown radiation position! Lower right zài unknown radiation position!" As soon as Aaron jumped into the water, a series of prompts suddenly came from the chip. "There's something down there!"
Under Aaron's order, the chip began to scan the underwater, looking for the location of the radiation position, and about a few seconds later, the underwater image displayed by the chip showed that the thing that emitted this radiation position was actually a black stone.
Due to the light, the underwater scene was not clear and a little blurry, and Aaron could not make out the origin of the stone for the time being, so he had to dive down and get the things up.
The waterhole was not very deep, only about four meters deep, and not long after Aaron dived, he got the stone and resurfaced on the water.
Seeing Aaron emerge with a stone in his hand, Bruce immediately asked curiously, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"I don't know for a while, but when I was diving down, I saw that this stone was a little fast, so I got it up and took a look. Aaron replied as he swam ashore.
Seeing Aaron take something from underwater, Matthew and Bruce didn't have the heart to stay in the water anymore, and swam ashore to see what it was.
When Aaron came to the shore, he didn't care to put on his robe, so he couldn't wait to go out into the sun and wipe off the impurities that had attached to the stones.
This black stone, the surface is very smooth, it looks like more crystals, the size is about the same size as two fists, it is black, the color is very dark, and under the sunlight, there is no light transmittance.
"According to the database comparison, the similarity between the inspection object and obsidian is 95%, and the similarity of black ink crystal is 52%......" After wiping those magazines, the chip compared them with the information in the database and gave a conclusion.
As soon as Bruce and Matthew came ashore, they quickly leaned over and observed the pitch-black stone with Aaron.
"I'm a little familiar with this thing!" Bruce glanced at it a few times, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have seen it, and then put on a thoughtful look, recalling, holding it for a while, and finally his mind suddenly opened up, remembering what it was.
"I remember! It's obsidian!!" Bruce looked excited: "Hahaha! We've picked up the baby! This is definitely obsidian, I've seen the patriarch's scepter in the family, there is an obsidian, but it's very small, only one-tenth the size of this one!"
Obsidian is a very precious stone, which is used to amplify the power of spells, but it is only effective against fire spells, and the amplification effect can reach a maximum of 10 degrees, and the weakest can also reach 7 degrees.
The power of a standard first-level spell is about 14 degrees, and the maximum will not exceed 20 degrees, and the weakest amplification effect of obsidian is 7 degrees, that is, the power can be increased by half, or even higher!
And it is also a fire-based spell that most people will use, and for these reasons, obsidian is definitely a treasure in the eyes of a first-level mage, even if it is a second-level mage, he is also very interested.
That's why, after Bruce recognized it, he was so excited, such a big obsidian, in its eyes, it was a priceless treasure!
"It seems that it should be obsidian, yes! I didn't expect it to be such a good thing, but unfortunately, this thing can only be exchanged for things for me, and I can't use it myself!" After listening to Bruce's words, Aaron can already be sure that this thing is obsidian, although it is a good thing, but it is a little regrettable that he can't use it.
Aaron doesn't have a fire element affinity, and he can barely use fire-based spells, even if he barely uses it, he has the amplification effect of obsidian, which is estimated to be not much stronger, and it is not very useful, if he can amplify plant-based spells, then the meaning is different.
"Let's hurry up and look inside the waterhole and see if there's any obsidian!" Bruce knew that the thing had been found under the waterhole, and after dropping a word, he ran back to the waterhole and jumped down to look for it.
Matthew also went along, but Aaron knew that there was just such a piece below, so he didn't go to join in the fun, and told them that there was no more below them, and it was not suitable, and he didn't know how to explain that he knew that there was no obsidian below, so he simply let them go.
After half an hour, Bruce and Matthew searched all the places under the waterhole, and there was no sign of obsidian, so they had to swim back to shore in disappointment.
"If you don't find it, forget it, this obsidian, we cut it into three pieces, and it is a huge gain for three people to divide it. Seeing that they were disappointed, Aaron already knew about this and said disapprovingly.
The obsidian itself can be cut, and the one in his hand is very large, cut into three parts, one for each person, even if there is no other harvest in the next day and a half, it is enough to make the trip!
"That's right!"
Bruce and Matthew, thinking that Aaron's words were right, swept away the disappointment of not finding obsidian, and looked away.
