Small wood carving?
Xia Duo immediately remembered the little mysterious woodcarving. Aiwa said that the material of the woodcarving is a kind of tree that is very cherished in the country of the elves, and the figures of the woodcarving have an inexplicable meaning.
The masked man wanted this thing, Xia Duo could probably guess, but the thing Xia Duo sold early, the masked man could find out that he had some things along the way, don’t you know that he has already disposed of those things Yet?
As for the ledger, this Xia Duo kept it, but this thing was obviously written by Old Neil himself. Otherwise, the masked man would have gone to Old Neil to ask for it. How could there be a chance to fall into Xia Duo's hands? Hey, one paragraph is missing! Like it, please collect it: () The fastest update speed.
"how come?!"
The masked man was a little surprised, but he just mentioned that when he mentioned the account book, he could get the best, and forget it. There is no need to offend the people of the mage tower for a illusory treasure, especially those who have just won the award. Damn, another paragraph is missing! , The fastest update of the latest chapter!
"What about the small wooden sculpture?" The masked man asked again and again.
The eager tone, even after careful concealment, was still noticed by Xia Duo, which made Xia Duo regret selling the small wooden sculpture.
"The wood carving has been sold. You have investigated me, and you must know who you sold it to!"
"Impossible! Turner said you didn't sell it in the end!" The masked man retorted subconsciously, but he quickly realized that Xia Duo had no need to lie to him. After all, if Xia Duo knew the purpose of the wood carving, how could it be possible? Take it out!
"This Turner!"
The masked man scolded bitterly. When he thought that Turner had swallowed the wood carving privately, the masked man wanted to kill Turner immediately and let him hand it over.
"Sorry, Master Xia Duo, I'm bothering you!"
After speaking, he hurried away.
Xia Duo looked at the other person's figure moving away, he felt that the other person was probably going to be empty, which made him even more curious about the role of the small wooden sculpture.
But he didn't, and he didn't even think about it. After walking the last stone road, Xia Duo returned to the Mage Tower.
...
The first thing Xia Duo did when he went back was to go back to the dormitory to check the two ledgers. Before, he only thought that they were secret accounts or deliberately preserved evidence, so he didn't care much, just left them in the dormitory.
However, the masked man put the two books and the mysterious wood carving together to ask for it, and Chateau immediately valued them 500 gold coins. According to the black market middleman Turner's wood carving quotation, the actual value of the two books may far exceed 500. gold.
Opened the two books again, Xia Duo carefully inspected it with the meaning of treasure hunting, and was afraid that everything was true. This look really made Xia Duo discover some clues.
The secret is not on the ledger itself, but on the two papers that record the secret text of the symbol in the ledger.
I overlapped these two palm-sized parchments, facing the candlelight, and saw that the symbols and secret texts on the two parchment papers were actually connected.
Vaguely formed a map!
Xia Duo quickly took out a piece of scattered parchment, and then carefully distinguished the map against the secret drawing, while carefully copying it on another piece of paper.
On this long strip map, wide and one finger long, Xia Duo copied for more than half an hour, of which the main time was spent identifying traces.
The ink marks on the secret paper are not very clear. When they are stacked together, it is a bit eye-watering to see through the marks on the other sheet. If there is a strong light source, it may be easier.
But the interior of the room itself is soft natural light, it is difficult to see through the parchment paper, and against the swaying candlelight that occasionally dimmed suddenly, Xia Duo's eyes were sour, which made this small map I copied it completely.
There is a special mark in the picture. If there is any treasure, it should be here.
Now that the map is there, and the suspected treasure point is also there, but the problem is coming
Where does this map show?
It is naturally impossible for the maps of aliens to have precise scales and relatively uniform landmarks like those that Xia Duo has seen on the earth.
Here may be someone drawing it at will. The scale is entirely based on feeling, and the landmark symbols are even more arbitrary. Unless this kind of map is really lucky and happens to be familiar, who can recognize it!
At this time, Chateau's first reaction was to go to the library to find books about maps, to see how the locals drew the maps, and whether there were any conventional symbols or the like.
But he quickly dismissed this idea again. This was just a suspected treasure map. It may be found out that it was just a trap carefully designed by Old Neil.
Even if it is a treasure, how to discover it, how to transport it, and how to deal with it is a problem. At least it is difficult for Xia Duo to take a big treasure alone.
Rather than that, it's better to study it slowly in the days to come, which can be regarded as a pastime and entertainment besides studying magic.
The most urgent task is to become an official mage as soon as possible. Only when you become an official mage can you truly change a world. The status of an official mage is far from comparable to that of an apprentice.
Apprentices should be called "adults" when they see a formal mage, and only a formal mage can be considered as having a relatively complete immunity~EbookFREE.me~ Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to be killed by the rules.
Even if a high-ranking person wants to kill a low-level mage, as long as he does not die on the spot, there are many ways to get shelter before or after.
Whether it is to take refuge in other lords, or the Austrian Law Federation, the least help can keep a small life.
For practical reasons, Netheril is not invincible outside and wealthy inside. On the contrary, the empire is in a period of active development and struggle against the wilderness. Any official mage is a precious talent.
Even taking an apprentice is not so bad.
Just look at Xia Duo's situation. The Mage Tower is still peaceful and stable. If you really want to stay here for the elderly, there is no way, at least a skilled apprentice can be more useful than a novice.
Xia Duo had already understood the basic principles of the 0-ring spell and the superficial nature of the magic net, but for the deep magic net, he was still unable to touch it.
It would be okay if there was no simple solution, but Xia Duo clearly had a solution, but it could not be realized for various reasons, which was really anxious.
It takes time to research on your own. If you want to redeem a scroll for learning a spell, your authority is not enough. You need to complete a territory mission for at least 1 year to get the exchange authority.
Of course, you can also walk through the back door. There may or may not be such a back door, but the price to be paid is definitely not acceptable to Xia Duo.
What Chateau believes most is naturally being upright, and the speed of self-research has actually reached the fastest speed, because self-research requires the use of a spell laboratory, and the time he can conduct spell-casting experiments every day is quite limited.
In addition to the experiment, in addition to recharging himself in the library, he can only communicate with the people in the study group, hoping to collide with some useful things and speed up his progress.
