The sorceress looked at the visitor outside the door and asked, "Are you?"

The male wizard in the black cloak, with his hands together, made a strange salute: "You are a sorcerer sorcerer, right, I was introduced by Master Tobai, I heard that you are good at interpreting some documents of ancient ruins, so I am here to ask for your help." ”

The black-cloaked male wizard explained his intentions and introducers, but cautiously did not reveal his name or identity.

When Sersi heard this, he was not surprised, and said: "I do have some research on some documents in the ancient ruins, and I can decipher some of the texts. However, I don't dare to guarantee the accuracy, after all, there is still too little knowledge of antiquity, and there are too few books that have been handed down to refer to. If I come across some of the more obscure words, I can't do anything about it. Even if you force it to be interpreted, it will not take a day and a half to complete, I hope you can be clear about this. ”

"Of course it's clear. The black-cloaked male wizard nodded, not very concerned, "At the same time, I also know that if there is a text of ancient ruins, you can't even decipher the Wizard of Sercy, and others are afraid that it will be more difficult, after all, you are already a person who has few studies in this field, and it is not an exaggeration to call you a university scholar." ”

After speaking, the black-cloaked wizard did not politely take out a small box from his arms. When I opened the small box, I saw a scroll inside, with dense and strangely shaped words written on it.

"This is a transcription that needs your help to decipher, Wizard Sercy. The wizard said, then took out a second box from his bosom, and when he opened it, he saw that there was an egg-sized, crystal blue gem inside.

"And this Fili Sapphire is part of your reward for Wizard Sercy, and I think you should know what it's for. The wizard said, "If Wizard Sersi can decipher all the words, there will be another Philip sapphire for you." ”

"That's good. Sersi nodded in agreement, took the two boxes from the wizard's hand, and thought for a moment, "If you can, please come to this time in three days to get the answer to the interpretation." ”

"Okay, Wizard Lawthercy, we'll see you in three days. The wizard said, without any verbosity, turned his head to look around, turned and quickly left the alley, disappearing into the distance.

Sersi watched the wizard leave, blinked, said nothing, squeaked the door shut, and walked back to the courtyard.

Then he took the two girls, Nellid and Heidi, to the study, and put the box containing the precious stones on the shelf, and unfolded the scroll with the copied text on the desk.

Sitting in a chair, Sersi began to read the text carefully, reading and interpreting it. After reading for a moment, he raised his head slightly, and said loudly: "Nellid, Heidi, bring me the two books "The Chapter of Ace" and "The Book of Muru's Song".

"Okay, teacher. The two girls said, running quickly to the bookshelf to find the book.

After a while, the two of them found the book and sent it to Sercy's desk.

"Bang Bang Bang Bang ......"

Sercy flipped through the books she had found, and on a new papyrus scroll, occasionally writing something, occasionally calling out to the two maidens to continue looking for some books.

It was so busy that it didn't end until the night.

Late at night.

Sercy wrote the last line on the papyrus scroll, finished her reading, and slowly rose from her desk. I sighed a little in my heart: "The difficulty of interpretation this time is lower than expected, and it doesn't take three days, but it doesn't matter." ”

Moving her neck slightly and tidying up the table, Sercy couldn't help but shake her head as she saw that Nellid and Heidi were already too tired to fall asleep on the small bed in the study.

Snatching a blanket from the cupboard and gently covering it for the two of them, Cersei stepped out.

In the courtyard, she walked slowly, looking at the stars in the night sky, and muttered to herself.

"Recently, more and more people have come to ask to decipher the text of ancient ruins, which is probably not a coincidence, but it is possible that several ancient ruins have been found in succession. If I'm not mistaken, this is related to the past, and the ruins are most likely from the Kingdom of Sika. I don't know, what was found in the ruins, and I don't know, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing......"

Cersei muttered, suddenly laughing at herself again, feeling that she was worrying too much.

After all, the Sika Kingdom is too far away from the Soma Alliance where she belongs, and even if something bad happens, it will be difficult to affect it.

Well, it's hard.

......

Kingdom of Sika.

Early in the morning.

Mountains and rivers rise and fall on the earth, like the back of the world.

On the side of one of the mountains, at the mouth of a mine, Gro was pacing, slightly agitated.

At this time, he was still at the level of a wizard's apprentice, and his combat power had not improved much from before, and the only improvement might be that he had mixed up an unappreciated identity in this mine in the mountains.

From a prince in the past, to a miscellaneous man in the mine now, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be a big loss.

Every time he thought about it, Groh felt that he might have really had his brain in the water when he chose to embark on the path of a wizard in the first place.

It turns out that hot blood can't solve everything, and although he has been working hard, due to his lack of talent, his progress has been extremely slow, and he has not been able to become a wizard so far.

Alas.

Gro sighed.

As he sighed, footsteps sounded in the mine, and someone walked out.

Gro immediately looked over, and then saw a girl walking out with a heavy sword in tow. The blade of the sword was scarlet, and the crystal beads of blood rolled down the blade of the sword like red glass beads, falling to the ground and seeping into the dirt.

The girl who came out had eyes full of energy, short hair that reached her ears, and she was heroic all over her body. After coming out, he slashed his sword, stuck it deep into the ground, glanced at Gro and asked, "Nothing escaped, right?"

This is none other than Nancy, who has long been a first-level wizard.

Gro listened to Nancy's words, shook his head quickly, and said, "No, I kept watching at the entrance of the cave, and not even a single insect crawled out. ”

"That's good. Nancy said, "Now it's basically certain that all the demonic creatures that caused trouble have been solved." ”

"That's a good thing. "That way, you won't have to worry about any more strange creatures rushing out and hurting the miners." ”

"That's a good thing. Nancy agreed, but there was no joy on her face, "But, on the other hand, this mine, like the previous ones, can be regarded as completely abandoned. I've been in and felt it, it's all corrosive energy, and ordinary people can't stay long, let alone mine.

Even if the ore is mined, it can't be sold with corrosive energy, at least not in the Sika Kingdom. Maybe the Soma Union, or the Southern Free Federation, has such a big wrong. But no matter how stupid the other party is, it is impossible to transport the ore so far, after all, the freight alone is an astronomical amount.

The most important thing is that up to now, similar discoveries have been made in the four directions of the mountain, southeast and northwest, at the foot of the mountain, on the mountainside, and at the top of the mountain. In other words, it is likely that the entire interior of the mountain is covered with this erosive ore. To be more pessimistic, it is likely that this is the case in several nearby mountains, and the number is unimaginable. ”

"What then?" said Gro, repulsively.

"What can I do?" said Nancy, "the only way now is to mothball all these mines and find a new place to mine them." ”

"Everything has to start from scratch. "Gro Dao.

"That's all there is to it. Nancy said, and couldn't help complaining, "I can't figure it out, how can it be so bad luck! I can't understand how there can be such ore in a mine in the world, it is useless except to cause trouble, and it can't even be used to build a house, it is really a complete waste." ”

Gro muttered in his heart, "You say it, don't talk to me." ”

Swallowing his saliva secretly, Gro whispered, "I think this ore may be useful." It may seem a bit rubbish now, but it might be of great use then. ”

"Huh?" Nancy was on fire, and immediately frowned at the rebuttal.

"Well, that's what I didn't say. Gro said immediately, following his inner thoughts.

Nancy shook her head, picked up her sword again and walked down the mountain, Gro obediently followed, and the two of them went down the mountain one after the other.

Not long after, a large number of miners came up the hill to block the entrance to the cave and seal up all the evil ores with erosive properties.

After all, they are useless.

It's useless at all......
