The royal capital is east of the city of San Landel, a cabin in the woods.

Holding the Star-Walking Staff, the Dissolved Charm stood quietly outside the door of Elder Quinn's house.

It's been almost a year since I last visited my grandfather.

During the year, the cottage on the outskirts of the city did not change much, except for the fence of the courtyard wall that was somewhat loose, and a few new shoots grew near the base of the wall.

Melberry sees it as her safe haven, and Quin's grandfather always brings the warmth of home and loved ones. During the years he had been an astrological patriarch, he would seek the help of the old man whenever he encountered something that he couldn't decide.

This time is no different.

He knocked lightly on the door.

"It's coming. ”

There was a slow, shuffling sound of footsteps in the room, followed by a "creak" and the door opened.

The gray-haired old man stood in the room, but his spirit was still strong. He wore a faded dark blue psychic robe, the hem of which was a little fat, but his shoulders were broad enough to hold up.

"Grandfather Quinn. ”

"Oh, it's you, long time no see. ”

Quinn's tone was pretended to be surprised, with a hint of jokingness, which made Melberry smile lightly.

"Grandfather knew I was coming. ”

Quinn smiled and said, "I really don't know this time, little melting." ”

Rong Mei pointed behind the old man and said with a chuckle, "Grandfather has two teacups on the coffee table. ”

"Hmm...... Well, you've found out. Quinn extinguished the candlestick, led the dissolver into the house, and continued:

"I've lived here for a while, except for the occasional visit, my old friends never go out of town to visit, is it because the old smell of fuel here is too strong, or the rum is not good enough?"

Rong Mei sat at the coffee table and asked, "I've never heard that grandfather likes to drink." ”

"Confused, it's tea. When I was younger, I loved to drink two glasses. Quinn then closed the wooden door and sat down with his palms in his hands, "Taste." ”

Rong Mei took a sip of the teacup with both hands, the mellow taste of black tea and the fresh taste of lemon permeated the mouth, and there was a hint of sweetness at the end.

At hand, a plate of toasted bread sits in a silver-rimmed tray with fresh peanut butter on the side.

Rong Mei took off her robe and said hello, "Has your grandfather done anything lately?"

Quinn shook his head, lowered his hand, and said, "I did, but I failed." ”

"What weapon?"

"Wow. ”

Melt looked at Quinn's gesture to see a silver medal the size of a bowl hanging on the wall.

"That is. ”

"So small, how to make a weapon?"

"It's not a weapon, it's a seal. Quinn stepped forward and placed the patterned silver medal in Mellow's hand, "If you look closely, you may find something unique." ”

Rongmei looked at it carefully, and those wonderful patterns actually had a sense of déjà vu.

After less than five seconds, he stared at a corner of the card.

Curved ......

He suddenly remembered that the arc pattern he and Xiao Yu had seen when they were in the territory of the Attributeless was exactly the same as the pattern on the silver-white token.

"I've seen it. Quinn spoke slowly, "I guess you've met with the Grail Elves. ”

"You.[pencil www.qbxs.xyz]..... Do you know anything about the Attributeless?"

"Yes, but not comprehensively. ”

Rong Mei subconsciously clenched her hands and said nervously: "When I saw the village of the attributeless people, I guessed that their tribal structure was an arc pattern representing 'absorption', which was somewhat similar to a rainbow, and it turned out to be ......."

He glanced down, and the two ends of the arc stretched out in a messy and intricate line, and for a moment, he couldn't make out the intricate signs.

"These days, I've tried to infuse it with spiritual power, but no matter what, I can't trigger these patterns. Quinn rubbed his index finger over the curved pattern at the top of the silver medal and explained:

"You are correct when you say 'absorption'. ”

"Every time I try to excite, it absorbs my spiritual power. It's not all at once, it's very slow, very weak, at first it doesn't hurt, but more and more, it's eaten away and hollowed out......"

What the old man said later, Rong Mei didn't listen to it.

He gently stroked the pattern with his hand, and his heart was a little itchy.

The silver medal seemed to have a wonderful attraction, and the charm was so eager to try it, and also wanted to see what kind of effect it would have after injecting spiritual power.

"You're also drawn to it. Quinn muttered.

"No, absolutely not!" Melt shook her head violently, "I'm the Lord of the Towns, I can." ”

Quinn's eyes stared at the dissolved charm's eyes with burning eyes, "You've been bewitched. ”

"What the hell is this?"

"Just a regular attributeless badge that has been in my suitcase for years. Quinn continued with some hesitation: "More than ten years ago, I went to the Virginia Empire to look for a special metal, and found it under the snow-capped mountains in the far north. I don't know if someone left it out, or if it was deliberately placed there. ”

"Under the snowy mountain, someone must have lost it while exploring. ”

"Nope. Quinn immediately vetoed, "If the village you see in Warlock's Canyon is just a corner of this pattern, then there must be more than one of these silver medallions, and they are placed in a particular position. ”

“...... If I accidentally touched one of them, it is unknown if it will affect the entire population of non-attributed people. ”

"Is it because of the material, or is there something wrong with the activation step?"

"I don't know. Quinn let out a long sigh and said, "If there is a sequence of races in this continent, the astrological race is definitely the highest level. But the priority of the non-attribute is much higher than ours. ”

Melt fell into a long silence.

Quinn waved his hand and diverted the subject: "Continue with what happened a month ago." ”

Rong Mei took a sip of lemon black tea and said in a low voice:

"Maybe you don't know that after Arx's death, the spiritual power in the Warlock Canyon has entered a vacuum, and the sea to the north is dangerous. The Kraken sealed in the Far North Sea has been missing for some time. ”

Quinn glanced at the other man, his hand on crutches trembling slightly.

"The royal family is much more settled. They're just a barely cohesive collective, and if the Kraken awakens, or the power of the Attributes riots, they will never ally with us. ”

After a long silence, Quinn suddenly asked, "Is the Spirit Clan Patriarch here today?"

"Well, she'll be there with my two messengers. ”

"You can't hide it from her. Quinn straightened his back and said, "She can only be your helper, and she must not be your enemy." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Your thoughts, your selfishness. ”

"I can't help it, grandfather," Rong Mei retracted her gaze helplessly, "I've met the Lord of Rule, and I don't have the capital to compete with him at all." If we don't use Xiao Yu's spiritual power to fight against the Virginia Empire for the time being, we have no chance of winning at all......"

Seemingly a little tired, the light in Quinn's eyes dimmed.

He said with some melancholy: "What you have to do is to use the town to compare with the gods, and not to be afraid of a small ruler." ”

"That Ernest is the biggest obstacle. ”

Then, he saw a look of disappointment in the other's eyes.

In Quinn's heart, there is no limit to becoming the lord of the continent at all. This stems from what I have known about him for so many years, and also out of consideration of the future direction.

But in Rongmei's heart, the goal that her grandfather set for herself was too high, and it was difficult to reach the "god" level. First, he is not lucky, he is not born with smooth luck, and second, his spiritual power is limited, and the things he can see are also limited, and there are even more than half of the unknown things on this continent......

Now, with the help of Feather Spirit, a top spiritual magician, it is like having a stable mountain on his back, with the support of the entire Spirit Clan, and the Melting Charm has a long buffer period, striving to increase the upper limit of his spiritual power, and raising the priority of the Suppression of the World as soon as possible.

This idea, which he chose to reveal to his most trusted grandfather, was undoubtedly the best option, although it deviated somewhat from their predetermined plan.

Quinn coughed lightly twice and said with a serious expression:

"I tell you, Melberry, don't do that. Remember, don't underestimate every lie now, either get rid of it as soon as possible, or, you wait for the consequences to come to your own devices. ”

Melt pondered, then replied seriously, "Absolutely not. ”

"You're dizzy!" Quinn stood up and anxiously tapped his cane on the ground, "In the past ten years, have you been hiding from the Spirit Clan and the Imperial Patriarch?"

"Grandfather has never stopped you before, this time, absolutely not!"

"Ancestral ......"

Tuk tuk!

Rong Mei was about to speak, when the door behind her rang.

Quinn glared at him and returned to his seat, his eyes drooping slightly, his features returning to their original kindness.

Melt forced her thoughts back, turned around and opened the door, and outside the house were Xiao Yu and Rinya.

"You're here. ”

"You didn't have to wait too long, did you?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

He replied, "No, I just arrived." Where's your junior brother?"

"There was some trouble on the way, we met a little girl who got lost, and Bai Lianzhou kindly sent people home. Rin Ye summarized as briefly as possible, "Someone will be there later, don't worry." ”

"Young man, I haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you say hello to the old man?"

Rin Ye's face turned red, and he hurriedly rushed past the dissolved charm and rushed into the house.

"Grandfather...... I miss it. The young man squatted on Quinn's lap, rested his chin on his lap, raised his eyes and said, "It's all because of that dog king, I usually don't give me holidays, and I can't go out of the city to visit your old man." ”

"Hmph, the little mouth is weird and sweet. Quinn smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened, "Spirit Clan Patriarch, did you three meet the monsters in the forest just now?"

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, Elder, it's a wild bear, and I cut off one of my claws." ”

Listen, the corners of Quinn's mouth rose again, revealing a warm and kind smile.

"Grandfather, what are you laughing at?" Rin Ye wondered.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, hehehe......" Quinn's eyes were like torches, and he said softly in an instant: "The daughter of the Imperial Patriarch is really unusual." ”
