Of course, even if mercury, a rare resource, has such characteristics, these are not the main reasons why Liu Yifei specially bought a large piece of it. The reason why he only brought an extra pile of mercury among the four major magic materials is that
Because Liu Yifei knew that this thing must be the rare material in greatest demand for Sandro - nothing else, just because many casting materials in undead magic require mercury~
It's just that this kind of implicit temptation cannot be used as an official reason, so Liu Yifei also said directly that in addition to coming here to "condolence" as a representative because of the order of his superiors, there are actually several other reasons why he came here.
I would like to ask the other party for a little help as a "favor"...
"help?"
Having said this, Sandro instinctively frowned again.
To be honest, Sandro himself does not have many connections in Standwick, especially now that he has learned that his teacher Eric has left Erathia first, and even he himself plans to leave as soon as possible
.
Originally, he didn’t want to see anyone who didn’t matter. If the hotel waiter hadn’t mentioned that the visitor was some kind of “military messenger”, Sandro would have thought that he was gone...
In addition, the reckless young man in front of him was "handy" as soon as he came up. Fortunately, he reacted quickly just now and temporarily canceled some of the stimulating defensive magic solidified on his robes. Otherwise, he might have been killed on the spot.
Standwick had caused some misunderstanding.
This made Sandru have an even less favorable impression of Liu Yifei... However, the car "gift" that the other party brought out later really satisfied Sandru a lot - not that Sandru
He is already so poor that he can't even afford some magic supplies, but now he feels that he should try to be more careful. If he personally buys too many magic materials...especially rare materials like mercury, Sandro
I'm also afraid that someone will catch my tail before I "do something".
At this moment, someone suddenly delivered the goods to the door. It was not his deliberate intention, so it was really perfect. Sandro suddenly felt the embarrassment of "taking someone short of hand" - it can't be said that the front foot
As soon as you receive someone's gift, why don't you just kick them out?
"Master, please rest assured that it won't be any trouble that makes you feel embarrassed. In fact, this is just some 'homework' given to me by my superiors. However, I am really inexperienced and I happened to meet you, master, so I just licked it."
I beg you for this with a straight face.
Otherwise, if you feel that it is really difficult, can you reject me again? In fact, it is just some small academic problems. I think with your knowledge, master, there will be nothing that can hinder you!!"
After being praised so much, what could Sandro do? After all, he still had to carry his "personality", so he asked the hotel waiter to help collect these materials, and then led Liu Yifei directly to his room.
…
It is said to be a "room", but in fact, for a "master" like Sandro who is not short of money, he rents a house directly by "floor". Even if he really plans to stay for a long time, in the capital of Standwick,
It is not difficult to directly buy a duplex courtyard. Even if he has a similar idea, many powerful people in the city are more willing to give money to the other party as "enshrinement"——
For aristocratic families, large and small, the sharp-edged armor is a heritage. It introduces knight-level and formal mage-level offerings to the family, so how can it not contribute to the family's growth?
If it weren't for most of Erathia's light mages directly receiving tribute from the royal family, I'm afraid those powerful monks would have long ago caused nobles of all sizes to fight to compete with each other~
After all, a formal monk has mid-to-high-end combat power starting from the fourth or fifth level...
The floor Sandro rented out was the second floor of the hotel. It had bedrooms, a reception room, a laboratory and so on.
As soon as Liu Yifei sat down, he stopped being polite to the other party and directly stated his first reason for coming - since Edric had asked Liu Yifei to ask the other party about Harmondale's "current situation"...
"What's going on with Harmondale? Oh, no wonder you said you wanted my help. Hahahahahaha~ It's okay, it's okay. This matter is really not that difficult. I was lucky enough to meet Harmondale before.
General Rod Hart, the defense chief at the time.
In fact, it was General Rod Hart who was tasked with escorting the wounded soldiers back to Standwick, but I wonder if there were any military letters or anything for the wounded soldiers to bring back...
Speaking of the recent situation in Harmondale, it is indeed a bit stressful~
In fact, I have heard about Harmondale, a place of chaos... After all, we don't have many other places in Bracada. There are really a lot of books and so on, and there are also some things about Harmondale.
Er's description.
It’s just that no matter how much knowledge I read in the book, it’s not as good as actually going to the local area. Being able to go to Harmondale this time to experience it will actually be of great help to me..."
Somewhat to Liu Yifei's surprise, after playing some tricks to get Sandro to sit down and talk, Sandro, who is still human, surprisingly talks a lot... although his skin color does make him a bit unfriendly to strangers.
However, his personality is quite easy to talk to. It is not as dry and evil as the "undead" at all, which makes Liu Yifei more and more unconvinced by the "gossip" that Sandro is disguised as an undead.
Already~
In Sandro's account, in addition to the fact that Harmondale still feels the pressure from Over in the east recently, there are actually some strange movements gradually happening in Diya in the west.
According to the description of the local guard in Harmondale, the first sign should have been last winter, right?
It's just that everything was withered at that time. Even in the Tularion Forest, known as the "Endless Forest", there were still a large number of tree plants that would lose their leaves due to the severe cold in winter.
Therefore, the earliest "withering" phenomenon did not arouse the alert of the local guards... Until the weather warmed up in the spring, there were still a large number of "dead trees" that did not sprout in some places in the forest, and even various shrubs and lichen plants in the surrounding areas.
They all disappeared without a trace, which caused the Harmondale scouts to realize...
But at that time, the undead scouts were also not far from Harmondale's outer scouting area, and friction soon broke out between the two sides...
Since then, there have been undead figures lingering in the outer areas of Harmondale. According to General Rod Hart, even when they contacted the elven villages in the north, they also heard about the detection of undead.
The disturbing movement is just that there has not yet been a large-scale appearance of undead, or traces of mid-to-high-level undead creatures have been discovered, so there has not been any big trouble...
"Undead..."
Liu Yifei glanced at Sandru opposite him, either intentionally or unintentionally, but he couldn't stop muttering in his heart.
Although it may be that the changes in Diya are related to the fact that the "novice period" is about to end and the official history of the game is about to begin... But as soon as Sandru appeared in the Northland, trouble began there immediately. This is pointed.
Isn't it too obvious?
Although it cannot be said with certainty that there is a conspiracy of the other party, as a time-traveling party who knows the "industry details" of the other party, Liu Yifei cannot suppress his impulse to doubt the other party...
Of course, Sandro's description also includes a lot of battles and sacrifices that he witnessed with his own eyes, because this guy was known as a "traveler" and even went to Harmondale to work as a "military mage" for a while.
!
It should be said that the reason why he was able to inquire about many local rumors from many soldiers also shows that at least when the other party was "serving" in Harmondale City, his performance had been recognized by the lower-level soldiers...
Is it worthy of being said that he is an old Yinbi who has been working undercover in Bracada for who knows how many years? He was able to coax a large group of big-headed soldiers with three strokes and five divided by two. It can only be said that he is Sandro.
The scheming is not as deep as usual...
Sandro's occasional mention of Rod Hart also made Liu Yifei recall more "gossips" on the forum "in the past" - although he had just "falsified" one a moment ago, but
I can’t bear to read too much in my previous life, but now I always implicate relevant information one by one...
There is a saying that Rod Hart is clearly an "Enrothian" and his origins are well-documented. Otherwise, he would not have been able to bring about the relationship between Princess Catherine and Roland on Enroth.
His Majesty’s marriage.
Based on the assumption that "Sandru may also be from Enroth", another piece of gossip pointed out that "Rod Hart and Sandro have known each other a long time ago, and may even have a close relationship."
possible!
After all, many actions between these two people in the future showed too much tacit understanding... They even directly conspired to poison the current King Geffenhart!
Even after Rod Hart was finally killed by the vengeful Queen Catherine, Sandro still went to great lengths to send people to steal Rod Hart's body, and even resurrected him into a powerful being.
The Black Knight "Rod Hart", this seems a bit too much...
Listening to the various things Sandro said, Liu Yifei's thoughts could not help but drift in other directions. However, these unidentified news were too involved, and he had no way to verify anything at the moment, so he had to listen patiently.
He had to pretend to listen with interest and praise the other party's "history of military service on the border" from time to time. In fact, Liu Yifei felt quite tortured in his heart.
After finally collecting a wave of information from the other party, Liu Yifei couldn't wait to "take out" a really big thing that he had thought of when he decided to come over this time - the "magic pattern" he had been trying to create recently.
arms"!
Considering his casting proficiency, Liu Yifei's first trial production was naturally a long sword-shaped "magic pattern weapon", but even though he had restored those magic patterns as realistically as possible based on the knowledge in the "Magic Pattern Swordsman" book
Formation, but to this day Liu Yifei still has not been able to successfully forge a finished product, which makes him scratch his head~
If we just talk about casting experience, Liu Yifei thinks that he is still competent...then the problem should basically be related to magic. After all, as a "muscular barbarian" in his previous life, Liu Yifei's forging skills can only be said to be...
"Usable", and the simplest ordinary blacksmith, "magic blacksmith" is a bit too advanced, far beyond what Liu Yifei can figure out by himself.
It's not like he hadn't thought about hiring a spell caster to help him, but the key point is that all the spell casters here in Standwick who can be named are too powerful, and they are not as good as some small places.
The service channels provided are comprehensive, and the instructors with spellcasting ability in the Guard Army training camp are still fighting in Kaliyad. Liu Yifei has never thought about making a breakthrough with Sandru until today...
Ha~ Come to think of it, the other party is obviously the great devil in the future, a terrifying existence that will be challenged by millions of people "side by side", but now I am seriously asking the other party for some knowledge on forging magic tools... What should I say about this world?
Isn’t it really amazing?
Faced with the big treasure that Liu Yifei "took out"... well, I mean the big sword, Sandro also became slightly interested.
To say that the previous conversation with the other party about some things in the Harmondale area was just Sandru having to cooperate due to his "short hand", then now the other party came up with a magic-related matter to ask him, but Sandru asked him to
More acceptable - after all, Masters are all cultural people. How many 100% pure "muscular barbarians" can be admired?
Going to the table and observing carefully, Sandro accidentally discovered that the one-handed sword made by the other party was actually quite "concise" - well, although it didn't have any too gorgeous decorations, carving patterns or anything like that, in Sandro
After using a few tricks to check the effect, he found that the "texture" of the sword was quite well-proportioned and dense, and the blade was beautifully cut. As an ordinary weapon, it was sufficient for any use.
It’s up to high-quality standards~
It's just this set of magic patterns...
Sandro looked more and more strange~
"With all due respect, this set of magic patterns looks very old... You see, the patterns here and there are all carved using old techniques from hundreds of years ago. The magic patterns in the new era are no longer
This wiring method is much simpler than this one..."
As the saying goes, laymen watch the fun, and insiders watch the door~
In the eyes of official-level spellcasters, many details are really hard to hide - although the "Magic Pattern Knight" profession was later "improved" by the Kingdom of Erathia with great efforts, but after all, it was still in the process of growing up.
before systematic magical knowledge was introduced into the country.
After Brakada taught Erathia complete basic knowledge of magic as agreed...especially after Erathia's spellcasters figured out the types of light spells on their own, the power of magic officially took root in Erathia.
It continued to grow, and even high-level magic warrior professions such as "Light Warrior" and "Holy Knight" appeared later.
In comparison, the "Magic Pattern Knight", which is quite dangerous and does not have a very high level of power, is naturally eliminated, so even the improved version of the "Magic Pattern Swordsman" was created an unknown number of years ago.
What happened, and now Sandro has seen through it at a glance...
