Chapter 130 Clues Left by Rodrigo
Chapter 131 Clues Left by Rodrigo
Richard immediately noticed the pattern on Meiluo's chest, which had changed from one bone stick to two bone sticks.
It seemed that Meiluo had been promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice since some time.
However, just as Richard was staring at the pattern on Meiluo's chest, Meiluo mustered up her courage, raised her head, and was about to say something.
But when she saw Richard staring at the top of her curves, she was immediately embarrassed, stamped her feet, turned around, opened the door and ran away!
This made Richard a little overwhelmed. What was going on? He didn't do anything?
Okay! Girls' minds are really hard to guess.
However, this was just a small episode.
From that day on, Meiluo and Richard's relationship advanced by leaps and bounds. Basically, every day when Richard finished learning the relevant knowledge of elementary pharmacy with Teacher Ceres, Meiluo would wait to go to the restaurant on the second floor of the cafeteria with Richard to have dinner.
The original high cost of dining in the restaurant, now Richard can afford it, just like adding a small stir-fry in his previous life.
With the company of the beautiful senior sister and enjoying the food, Richard's life can be said to be very happy!
Richard also learned that Meiluo was successfully promoted to the second-level wizard apprentice last month, which took one year and eleven months. This speed is also considered to be excellent.
Considering Meiluo's qualifications, it is normal to have this speed.
Moreover, Richard first knew that Meiluo was from another continent-a giant national business alliance on the continent of Vitrol.
This is a country similar to the Athenian city-state system in Richard's previous life. It is a huge alliance composed of hundreds of kingdoms, principalities, regions and large cities. The alliance level is only responsible for two things, joint defense and free trade. Apart from this, everything else is done independently.
Moreover, the business alliance is very distinctive. If there is a map of the entire Vitrol, it can be clearly seen that the territory of the business alliance stretches along the coastline of the continent.
In other words, the hundreds of kingdoms, principalities, regions and large cities that make up the business alliance have all developed along the coast.
The huge shipping industry and commerce are the cornerstones of its economic prosperity.
It is said that in many port cities of the Commercial Alliance, there are countless goods, and the business is much more prosperous than the cities on the Bias continent.
In addition, the Commercial Alliance is the only human country on the continent of Vetlor, but it is not the only civilized country. In the central part of the continent of Vetlor, in the boundless grassland, there lives an ancient and powerful orc race.
Meiluo comes from a region called the Loras Peninsula, which is located to the east of the continent of Vetlor.
Starting from the Loras Peninsula, once you cross the Storm Strait, you can immediately reach the Crab Claw Peninsula of the Kingdom of Heron.
So, from this point of view, although Meiluo's hometown and Richard's hometown belong to two different continents, the distance is not that far.
According to Meiluo, she came to the Ignis School because her father had some connection with a formal wizard of the Ignis School.
Although she is mainly dark element affinity, the business alliance of the Vitlor continent not only has many white wizard academies, but also a large number of black wizard academies.
So normally, she should join the wizard academy of the Vitlor continent.
But her father was worried that the family infighting might implicate her, so he specially asked someone to arrange for Meiluo to come to the Bias continent.
Her family, the Norris family, is the leading wealthy family on the Loras Peninsula, known for controlling the peninsula's huge shipping business.
But where there are interests, there are struggles, and her family is no exception.
This can't help but remind Richard of his own family, which is small but very warm.
——
In the few days when Richard returned to the school, Ram and his girlfriend Courtney also visited Richard once.
The two are still first-level wizard apprentices, but their mentality is much better than before. After experiencing the last life and death test, they are more calm and calm.
Through Ram, Richard also quickly learned about the recent situation of several of his friends.
For example, Ophelia and Andrea, since the last dark fishman incident, thought they were really killed, and were quite sad. They have been working hard to improve their strength in the past six months.
Therefore, the two went there early as soon as the Norman Secret Realm was opened.
According to Ram, Ophelia and Andrea's strength has improved very rapidly.
Especially Ophelia, even among the second-level wizard apprentices, she is now a well-known student.
Of course, the most eye-catching among the three major wizard academies is Torre Grace from Gurus Academy.
It is said that in the last dark fishman incident, it was he who turned the tide and relied on a low-level wizard weapon given to him by his mentor to resist the attack of the fishman and wait for the arrival of the official wizard.
Afterwards, he was directly rewarded with a bottle of red shock mixture. Now this famous Torre Grace is also in the Norman Secret Realm. It is said that his strength is about to break through to the third-level wizard apprentice.
This is very exaggerated, because he is likely to break the record of the fastest promotion to the third-level wizard apprentice in Gurus College.
The previous record of Gurus College was one year and seven months, and Torrey Grace only took one year to be promoted to the peak of the second-level wizard apprentice.
"It seems that there are many geniuses in every era. Torre Grace? This name is so familiar." Richard thought to himself.
Every night, when Richard returned to the dormitory, he would carefully study the memory crystal given to him by Teacher Ceres.
Recently, he also took time to go to the school library several times to find some information about Rodrigo.
But after searching for a long time, Richard found that most of the information about Rodrigo was circulated in the biographies of wandering poets. Those fragmentary records did not constitute a systematic content at all, not to mention the clues of the ruins related to him.
In contrast, the memory crystal given by Teacher Ceres contained much more detailed content, such as the paragraph Richard just saw.
"Hiss! Rodrigo, the greatest necromancer in ancient times, was the founder of the necromancer summoning school. It is said that one person can fight against hundreds of thousands of regular troops. This is a bit exaggerated!"
This long paragraph in the middle made Richard stunned, but the next second, he frowned.
"Ancient times."
It really is ancient times, this is troublesome!
Basically, the heritage of the ancient times has basically not been passed down intact.
After all, the time is too long, and it is likely that the ruins that Teacher Ceres went to were not Rodrigo's ruins, but the ruins of a school he passed down, or a college with a deep connection with it.
As Richard continued to read,
"The necromancer Rodrigo created the second-level necromancy - the army of the dead, and the third-level necromancy - the scourge of the dead."
"Hiss! These two sorcery are well-known among the necromancers. It turns out that they were both created by Rodrigo! No wonder he is called the ancestor of the necromancer summoning flow."
Richard still knows something about the power of the second-level sorcery - the army of the dead. It is said that this sorcery can summon thousands or even tens of thousands of undead creatures headed by the death knight of the undead world, with abominations, wailing banshees, ghouls and various skeletons as the main force.
It can easily destroy a county!
For example, in Richard's hometown, Rossby County, if an undead wizard casts this second-level magic - the army of the dead in the county town, the entire county town will be destroyed.
The third-level undead magic - the Scourge of the Dead is even more terrifying, and it is said that it can directly destroy a kingdom.
But unfortunately, as far as Richard knows, the third-level magic - the Scourge of the Dead has been lost for nearly a thousand years.
The second-level magic, the army of the dead, is listed as the top secret of the Ignis School. It is difficult to obtain the qualification to learn it. In addition, it is said that only a handful of people can learn it. Of course, this may also be related to the small number of second-level wizards.
Richard was so excited when he saw these contents that he wanted to find and explore the relevant ruins of Rodrigo immediately. It would be best if he could find these long-lost powerful magics and learn them.
After calming down, Richard continued to read carefully.
According to the memory crystal, according to the clues and judgments collected by Master Ceres, there are three areas where Rodrigo left obvious traces: Bering Mountains on the Bias continent, Basileus Island in the Summer Sea, and Ivers Forest at the junction of the Vitrol Continent Business Alliance and the Death Prairie.
Richard had never heard of the latter two, but he had heard of the Bering Mountains on the Bias continent.
Because this is a famous Jedi, or forbidden land on the Bias continent, filled with all kinds of powerful monsters.
Even if a formal wizard wants to explore, it usually takes several people to form a team to dare to go deep, and from time to time, you will hear that a famous formal wizard has fallen there.
"The difficulty of searching for relevant clues in the Bering Mountains is already extremely difficult. This matter seems to be completely unsolvable for me at the moment!" Richard frowned.
Among these three regions, the Bering Mountains are extremely difficult, and the latter two are extremely far away from Richard. They are either on a remote island in the vast ocean or on another continent.
If you really want to explore, the long journey alone is probably full of dangers.
"Hey, for now, it seems that we can only search for relevant information about the Summer Sea Basileus Island and the Ivers Forest on the Vitrol Continent before making plans."
"Hey, it seems that both of these places can be entrusted to Senior Meiluo. Her family is a large business family, and its geographical location is also located on the Vitrol Continent. It should be relatively easy to search."
--
At noon the next day.
The restaurant on the second floor of the school.
On a table inlaid with golden patterns, there are several delicacies, one of which is baked crystal snails, which are cooked with crystal snails, a strange creature. After eating, it can slightly increase the speed of mental recovery, and at the same time, it has an excellent taste and unique flavor.
"Senior, I have something that I may need to trouble you with."
"Well, what is it?" Meiluo looked at Richard with her big eyes.
She knew her junior, but he rarely asked her for help.
Richard took out two boxes, opened them and quickly closed them, after all, there were other people eating around.
But Meiluo had already seen clearly that there were at least dozens of bottles of Fire Dance Star inside.
And Richard quickly showed the other box, which contained the primary mental recovery potion he had recently made.
As the three major undead wizard academies and the five major mistress families in the dark region were still fighting fiercely, the prices of alchemical bombs and combat potions were rising all the way.
At present, the price of Fire Dance Star has exceeded the price half a year ago, reaching 22 magic stones per bottle, and the prices of various combat potions have also increased significantly.
"Richard, what is this?" Mei Luo asked doubtfully.
"Senior, it's like this. I want to entrust your family to help me collect some information. This will be regarded as the entrustment fee for the task." Richard organized his speech and said.
"Ah? What kind of information does it cost to collect so many magic stones?" Mei Luo certainly knows the value of the two boxes in front of her. According to the current market situation, it is worth at least 1,500 magic stones.
No matter where you put it, it is considered a huge sum of money, which is enough to issue tasks within the school and hire several third-level wizard apprentices to participate in the kind of tasks.
"I would like to entrust your family to help me collect some things from Basileus Island in the Summer Sea and the Ivos Forest on the continent of Vitroll, mainly to collect some local legends, folk songs and bards. Biography, describing local strange events and customs.”
Richard thought very clearly that there must be no clues directly related to Rodrigo. If there were, it would have been his turn long ago.
Therefore, we can only analyze it by ourselves by collecting some information and materials.
"Senior, you know that these two locations are not in Baias Continent. The distance is too far, so you see."
Mei Luo immediately understood what Richard meant.
"I see, but this investigation will probably take a long time. The Summer Sea you mentioned, Richard, I have heard my father talk about before. It is just south of the Vitroll continent.
It is said that the sea water there remains above 30 degrees all year round, so it is called the Summer Sea. The island of Basileus must be there, probably tens of thousands of miles away from our school of thought. "
"It's okay. As for the time, it's limited to half a year. Do you think it's okay, senior? Just try to help me collect relevant information within half a year." Richard estimated the time for various preparations on his side and said Limited to half a year.
"As long as it's local customs, biographies, strange events, etc., is that all?" Mei Luo was also a little confused, not knowing why the junior in front of her wanted to collect these things.
However, although Richard saw Mei Luo's confused expression, he did not explain it. After all, it was better to know some things by himself.
"However, we shouldn't need so many magic stones, right?" Mei Luo thought for a while and pushed back a box.
"No, senior sister, help me investigate as detailed as possible, it will be the greatest help to me. You know, I recently studied potion with Teacher Seles, and I have some experience. Therefore, earning magic stones is still important to me. A relatively easy thing." Richard smiled and shrugged.
"That's true, you are now a quasi-potion master." Mei Luo said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite to you, and I will accept it first."
"Of course, senior sister, if it's not enough, remember to tell me again." Richard raised his glass.
