Lu Zhengkang looked at the small flame floating in front of his eyes and fell into deep thought.
The effect of forcibly binding magic energy with mental power is very poor. If the magic energy hub is like a reservoir or lake, then after the mental power is released, it is almost a sea bowl. The amount of magic energy mobilized at the same time is much different.
This also leads to the fact that Lu Zhengkang really has nothing to do with casting spells.
He sighed, retracted his thoughts, and the small flame in front of him was extinguished in an instant. With this little heat, he didn't have to worry about starting a fire in the future.
Jonas also saw the troll man's disappointment. He hugged Lu Zhengkang's arm and said, "Sir, don't be discouraged."
"Well, I'm not discouraged. You practice first, I'll find someone to translate the spell, stay in the tavern, don't run around, and don't talk to strangers." Lu Zhengkang nodded slowly, then stood up, Jonas also said
Holding his arm tightly, "Boy, I'll come as soon as I go."
"That's what my mother said back then." The boy originally had an indifferent expression, but after saying this, his eyes began to twinkle with stars.
"Don't cry, I never lie."
"Then what if you also lied to me?"
Lu Zhengkang laughed, a little amused. He glanced at the small tavern room and saw a deer head specimen hanging on the wall opposite the door. He pointed at the deer head and said, "I'll lie to you and give you this head."
Eat it."
Jonas narrowed his eyes and let go of Lu Zhengkang, "I believe it. Go back quickly, sir."
Lu Zhengkang went to the boss, asked for straw paper and carbon strips, copied the words in the spell book, and ordered some food for Jonas to eat and drink to warm himself up.
The boss came in with a wooden plate, including a bowl of vegetable cheese soup, a grilled lamb chop, and a small pot of boiled potatoes. He put the food on the round table, indicating that it would be used slowly, and then asked Lu Zhengkang: "Would you like a bottle of honey?"
Wine?”
"Mead?" Deer recounted again.
"Yes, the mead I just brought in is a good product from Xuemanling. It has been boiled and is very comfortable to drink. Even the lord loves it." The boss smiled, holding the plate in one hand and leaning on
On the door frame, the posture is leisurely.
"Give this boy a bottle."
Lu Zhengkang hurriedly left the tavern with the papyrus he had copied, leaving Jonas stunned looking at the hot food on the table.
As soon as he left the tavern, a cold wind hit his face. Lu Zhengkang lowered his head, tightened the brim of his hat, and walked slowly along the street. Under his black robe, the ridge of the stainless steel sword gently slapped his crotch, and the sound was drowned out with his footsteps.
in the snow.
The sun should have been rising for a while by this time, but Winterfort is still gloomy. No matter how enthusiastic the people in the sky are, when they arrive at Winterfort, they can't help but be shocked and speechless by the depressing and desolate atmosphere.
They met the guards again, and this time their jokes were even worse.
"Let me guess, someone stole your donuts?"
After one guard finished speaking, all the guards started laughing.
"Okay, stay alert." The captain smiled enough, waved his hand, and continued patrolling. When passing Lu Zhengkang, they would all raise their heads to show off their height.
"You should eat more, dwarf."
Lu Zhengkang replied in a sullen voice: "Thank you for your concern."
After walking for a while, there were two people arguing in front of the door of a two-story hut beside the road. The man was drunk, the woman was waving her arms and yelling angrily, and the man was red-faced and kept retorting.
Lu Zhengkang couldn't adapt to their extremely fast Nordic curses, and the pedestrians on the road were completely indifferent to it at this moment.
The troll man took two steps forward and used simple Nordic to attract attention, "You two! You two, don't quarrel! If you have something to say, say it well."
The Nord woman snorted, turned to Lu Zhengkang and forced a smile, "Sorry, my brother is an alcoholic who doesn't understand anything. He gets drunk all day long. I am the only one responsible for the balance of payments at home... Do you want to buy it?
What?"
The drunkard yelled loudly, "Hey, don't pretend that you are a smart person! Otherwise, you wouldn't do business at a loss!"
The woman lowered her face and said, "Shut up, Lanmir, that's not a loss-making transaction. What I bought is a treasure and the key to the treasure. As long as you meet someone who knows the goods, you can make a fortune immediately."
"Treasure? Can you show it to me?" Lu Zhengkang asked.
"Oh, of course, guest, let's go into the store to talk." The woman turned around and opened the door and entered the house. The sign in front of the door was painted with the logo of the grocery store. The walls of the house were made of stones, and the gaps were filled with mud.
It doesn't look very solid.
The drunkard mumbled a few words and turned around to head towards the tavern. Lu Zhengkang followed the woman into the house.
The woman stood behind the counter and laughed: "Welcome to Birna's House of Curiosities!"
"Good name, good name." The troll nodded pretending to appreciate it and said a few words of flattery.
There is a large fireplace right after entering the door, with blazing flames, warm and bright, and the counter is on the right. The woman took out a small coral-red dragon claw-shaped sculpture and placed it on the counter. Lu Zhengkang walked over and picked up the coral dragon claw and looked at it for a while in the light of the fire.
.
There are three claws, and there are three patterns on the palm of the dragon claw, from top to bottom: snake, wolf, and moth. In addition, there is a grip on the wrist, which is vertical on the back of the claw.
Birna said with a smile, "This kind of thing is not uncommon. It is said to be related to those ancient tombs. In addition, the sales guy told me that this dragon claw may be related to the Yngle Peak southeast of Windhelm City."
As she spoke, the woman made a gesture to indicate the long journey.
Lu Zhengkang muttered, "It's so far."
Birna said anxiously: "Ah, guest, think about it, this is a treasure, maybe you can make a lot of money."
"maybe……"
"We will definitely make a lot of money." Birna's tone was a little hasty.
"I can buy it, but I need you to do me a favor and read these words." Lu Zhengkang handed over the papyrus, and the female shopkeeper took it and looked at it for a while, "Oh, this is not difficult. I have read many books and can speak three languages.
,well, this says 'the world of light is in
Above, annihilation below, elements gather, and flames grow. 'Well, what I said may be wrong, some words look strange, maybe you can go to the court mage. But to be honest, you want to learn magic, so you might as well
Save up and buy a good suit of armor."
"How much does a dragon claw cost?"
"...Chenghui five golden septins."
"Wait a minute, I'm going to get the money." Lu Zhengkang nodded and placed the money bag on Jonas.
"Uh, three! Just three gold coins!"
"I know, wait a moment."
"Oops! One gold coin cannot be less!"
Lu Zhengkang waved his sleeves, opened the door and left. With such a decisive look, the shopkeeper was so angry that he threw the straw paper in his hand on the counter, clenched his fists hard, and finally sighed feebly.
When Lu Zhengkang returned to the grocery store with the gold coins, Birna was lying on the counter sulking.
Five golden Septins swayed on the counter for a while, making an increasingly rapid buzzing sound as they rotated. Birna was awakened and hurriedly collected the gold coins. She silently looked at the five coins in her palm.
, counted out four and threw them back to the counter.
"If you agree on one, it will be one. Nords never lie."
Lu Zhengkang murmured softly, "One will buy dragon claws, and four will buy knowledge. Goodbye, Birna."
The troll turned around, opened the door again and left.
