Chapter 461 Toys
Roddy didn't know what the royal monarch was thinking. At this moment, he just stared at the view in front of the window and was dazed - when the lord BUFF automatically displays, [City Construction Column], [Recruitment Column], [Diplomatic Reputation Column] and other frames are activated, the inner sense of peace made him breathe involuntarily.
"I'm finally back."
Through mountains and rivers from the glacier plains, Roddy finally returned to Elson City at noon on February 3. He was not interested in watching the changes in the city at this time, and rushed back to the city lord's mansion. After eating the first hot meal in a few days, he took the first hot bath.
No one is an iron man. He slept in the wild and fought all the way. After returning to his main city, the feeling of fatigue really made Roddy want to completely empty his mind. And similarly, he had a different kind of excitement in his heart: he brought back a large amount of supplies that could build the city. I wonder how much this harvest could increase the level of Elson City...
Arsenals, blacksmith shops, weapon R&D rooms, arcane research rooms, etc. can be opened one by one, and the strength level of your own territory will definitely grow leap.
However, these things need to be combed slowly. Roddy took off his wet hair and wanted to get up to find Camilla, but after glanced at the "map", he sat back with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
The next moment, the tranquility in the study was broken by a sound of footsteps - Nefi looked outside the door and confirmed that Roddy was not knocking on the door. She walked in with big strides and said, "Brother Roddy asked me to wait for several more days! I won't go to see me after I come back, I'm angry, hum!"
The little girl was just pretending to behave and looked angry. In fact, her slim eyes made her betray her idea. Roddy had long been familiar with Nafi's personality and was deliberately teasing her in her heart. So she cooperated to beg for mercy and said in a pinch of her voice: "Oh, I deserve to die. What kind of Lord Nafi wants to compensate me, I will do my best!"
"Hmph, you know what you know!"
Seeing him cooperate so much, Naifie felt it was fun. He raised his nostrils with interest, pretended to be a "big man", and stretched out his hand and said, "Hurry up, you must have brought a lot of good things when you go out this time, take them out for me!"
“No problem though…”
"But what? Leave it too long!"
Nefi deliberately pretended to have a hoarse voice because the bad guys she remembered were talking like this, but then she found that Roddy was looking at her with a playful face, without any movement.
"Do you give me or not? If you don't give me it - oh!"
Before Nafei finished speaking, her ears felt a pain. When she looked back, she immediately screamed, "Mom, why are you here? Oh, don't pull my ears! I didn't... it hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"
"How do you talk to the city lord? Why are you gone without any politeness?!"
Camilla grabbed her ears and looked like a "stern mother". This scene made Roddy a little dazed: there was a naughty child next door who made a mistake and was educated by his parents. This seemed to be similar to the scene in his previous life...
But looking at the wand that Nefibi had on her waist and then looking at Camilla's exquisite robe, Roddy knew that he had to face reality after all.
"Okay OK, I'm just joking with her. It's nothing, don't be so serious..."
Roddy persuaded Camilla a few words, and Nefi, who was aggrieved, immediately ran behind him and hid. Camilla wanted to continue saying something, but when she saw Nefi's appearance, her heart felt inexplicably soft...
Nefi has no father and has only accepted his own teachings since he was a child. He just endured it when he was told, and even if he was praised, he couldn't find anyone to share his joy. At this time, seeing her hiding behind Roddy and acting cute, Camilla suddenly felt... Such a scene seemed to be what she had always hoped for.
Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah! What are you thinking about?
Camilla felt that her brain might be thinking too fast, and she just instantly listed a lot of possibilities behind her. Many of the scenes made her feel ashamed and angry, so she simply forced her to cut off her thoughts and continued to say a few words before she recovered.
"Nefei is a child. I like her very much. It's great to be unrestrained."
Roddy stroked her long hair. The latter could have found a safe haven that was not blamed by her mother for so many years. She smiled secretly like a little fox on her face, and her hands still grabbed the corner of Roddy's clothes.
"I'm really back in a hurry, mainly because the conditions along the way are difficult, and I haven't even taken a shower a few times. I don't want to come to see you with unkempt faces," Roddy said some gossip and relaxed the atmosphere, let the mother and daughter sit down and turn around and start searching through the luggage. "So, to express my apology, I will give you the 'hukou fee' first."
He was joking like this, and both mother and daughter understood that they were going to give gifts, so they all looked at each other without saying a word.
Roddy had not much luggage, and it was piled up in the corner of the study. After digging for a long time, he finally took out an exquisite wooden box from it.
The magic patterns on the outside of the box are very gorgeous, but after seeing it clearly, Camilla suddenly widened her eyes - the constituents of the "Holy Society" are all descendants of high elves, and naturally have extremely detailed research on "high elves civilization". What she is sure of is... If a wooden box itself has three permanent magic patterns protections, such as "constant temperature", "drying technique", and "corrosion protection", then its value is no less than that of the high-level staff of this era.
And this is just a box, and Camilla couldn't imagine how precious the things inside were.
Roddy seemed to have no idea what was holding in her hand, and raised her hand and greeted, "Nefei, come on, this is a set of toys for you."
“Play…toys?”
When she heard this, not only Camilla, but also Naifie was a little stunned. This little mage could see the powerful existence of "elemental rhythm" with his naked eyes. In her vision, the box in front of her was shining with dazzling golden light, which was almost difficult to look directly at!
"Come on, open it and see if you like it or not. The spell is 'ofsu-enne'"
Roddy didn't notice the shock in the hearts of the two of them, and casually placed the wooden box in front of Nafi. The latter swallowed, chanted the spell nervously, and opened it.
"Brother Roddy, what are these...?"
The things in the box are far less dazzling than the box itself, just a simple wrist guard, a hexahedral crystal, a strange scale, like a ruler of a compass and a black quill.
Camilla also came over curiously, but she couldn't tell the truth no matter how she looked at it.
Roddy could see the equipment attributes, so he briefly explained their functions: "This wrist guard is called the 'Wheel of Identification', well... the name is pretty bad, but it can test your 'spell efficiency' and make gesture corrections when casting. As long as you wear it to cast spells, you will soon know how to achieve the most efficient casting gesture - forgive me for using it a few times before giving it to you. If it weren't for it, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to cast the 'Master Hand' now."
"What?!"
"real?!"
Two screams rang out at the same time, but the content of the mother and daughter was different: Nefi was surprised and excited, because Roddy could cast spells, which meant that she would have more common language with Roddy in the future, while Camilla expressed incredible everything in front of her...
As an arcane, she knows the value of this wrist guard more than anyone else. The unstandard casting movements are something that many mages have troubled throughout their lives. Even if they can already "successfully cast spells", the subtle differences will still reduce the spell effect.
But the existence of this wrist guard directly broke this bottleneck!
However, how could such a powerful thing be just a toy? How could Roddy easily get it out of something and get it done with the bottleneck problem that even the high elf arcane artist has not solved?
In fact, Roddy didn't know that he had exposed his shortcomings in not understanding the law profession.
After all, what he knew in the past was just a "game". Those players never worry about their progress on the magic path - they upgraded when they had enough experience, bought skills when they had enough money, and could use them after learning... Roddy has always thought so.
So in his eyes, this "wheel of identification" is just a "spell casting correction device". In essence, it is no different from the "copybook" used for practicing calligraphy. In addition, it is a "white character" equipment, which is of ordinary quality, so Roddy did not regard this thing as a rare thing at all.
This should be a tiny invention that Solomon used to make a fool of himself when he was bored.
Roddy thought so.
However, he completely ignored a problem: no mage who has learned from scratch can successfully cast the "Master's Hand" on the first day of his exposure to magic - even in history? Those stunning geniuses cannot do it.
So when he introduced the purpose of the wrist guard, the study suddenly became quiet. The mother and daughter stared at the wrist guard blankly, and for a moment they could not speak.
This made Roddy think of something he was holding a little bit of attractiveness, so he quickly raised the hexahedral crystal next to him and introduced: "The wrist guard may be a bit useless, but I think this thing may be more useful."
"This stone is called the 'matrix projection stone', uh--the name is a bit stupid anyway, and its function is to project the 'magic design drawing' to other places in proportion."
As he said that, he did not forget to demonstrate: After drawing a pig's head on parchment, he directly placed the regular crystal on the paper. After chanting the spell, the white light shining on the paper flashed away. Then he picked up the "matrix projection stone" and said to Camilla: "You try using 'suspended technique' to it."
Camilla's expression was a little stupid. He raised his hand and cast a spell when he heard this. When the crystal was suspended above the three of them, the pig's head that Roddy had just painted was clearly projected on the ground...
"How is it? Isn't it interesting?"
Roddy smiled. Isn’t this thing just a scanning projector? But the details are quite clear. When I go back to explaining the battle arrays, I seem to consider using this thing to teach an open class?
A little wandering in his mind. When he came to his senses, Roddy found that the expressions of the mother and daughter beside him became more and more strange. Their eyes looked at them, as if they were looking at an alien.
Roddy's heart skipped a beat: Could it be that these things have long been outdated?
"Then, that, there is a pen. I think this thing may be... useful, right?"
He was already guilty at this time, but he had to jump down even if he dug the pit himself, "This pen is called 'Dalusi's Hand'. Its function is similar to that wrist guard. It corrects the errors on the tip of the pen when making the scroll, and improves the success rate of about 30% and the casting effect of 15% of the scroll."
"Gudong."
This is the sound of Nefi and Camilla swallowing together.
From the perspective of the caster, the few things in the box are like "cheaters", but Roddy still didn't realize this and continued to talk nonsense:
"That... it's a toy after all, and it can't be too demanding. I think Nefi can use it and get it..."
"Ro, Brother Roddy, are you going to give them to me?"
Nefi's sudden voice made Roddy feel pardoned, and he said, "Yes, I just want to give it to you as a gift, but if you don't like it-"
"I like it! I like it!"
Nafi screamed, originally wanting to jump to Roddy and hug him, but seeing her mother beside her, she finally didn't have the courage to make trouble, and instead couldn't put it down and studied these "toys"...
Camilla's eyes turned, and she felt her throat was dry for no reason. She had too many questions in her heart, but the words turned into a sentence: "This... are you too pampering her?"

[Also: The first half of each volume is "digging holes", and the middle and rear part starts "filling holes", so the plot of this part is smooth and not as intense as the climax. But once I am sure that the amount of information is absolutely enough, I have compressed various information into every paragraph, and even a lot of it is related to the contents of the eighth, ninth, and even the end of the book. What I want to write is a complete story, rather than always being happy and fighting, so if you find a bug, you can mention it at any time, and you don't have to worry about the layout of the article. I want to write an online article that does not end, which is my biggest wish.]
