Chapter 68: Ominous Pebble
Following the boss's direction, there was a small and inconspicuous shop, not even a door number, only a wooden door covered with wool and windproof, and a window covered with dirt and mud.
Knocked hard a few times, and after a while, an old and hoarse voice came from behind the door: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Hello, we were introduced by the owner of the gem shop opposite," I said, leaning against the door, "to ask you something." ”
With a creak, the door opened, and a musty smell hit the face, choking people who wanted to cough.
I got used to it and walked in the door, Cagalli following me and the others waiting in the doorway.
The shop is not big, only two rooms inside and outside, the outhouse is very dim, and the position near the door can not even see, Cagalli and I are careful to avoid the vague piles of objects, for fear of breaking a few pieces if we are not careful.
The more I got to the back room, the brighter the light became, and when I stood at the door of the back room, my eyes were pierced by the light.
When I entered the inner room, I realized the reason, and there were more than a dozen magic lamps hanging on the low roof, which were full of light and seemed to be more dazzling than the sun outside.
Subconsciously, I covered my eyes with the back of my hand.
"That old thing Bernal is really afraid that I'm idle."
Not far away, an old voice muttered discontentedly.
Adjusting to the light, I opened my eyes, and against the wall, there was a table made of oak, on which were all kinds of sophisticated instruments, and behind the table, an old orc with thinning hair and a gray beard, with a straight face, looked at the two of us.
His left eye was round and energetic, but the eyelid of his right eye was half-drooping, revealing only the general pupils and whites of the eyes, with a sky-facing nose and a flat mouth, how funny and funny.
I forced a smile, pretended to be solemn, and stretched out my hand: "Hello, master. ”
The old orc didn't shake my hand, he coughed, and said, "Don't come to the human etiquette with me, I'm not used to it, just be direct, what's the matter?" ”
He withdrew his hand, took out the dark purple pebble, handed it to the old orc, and said, "That's the case, I want to ask you to help identify this thing." ”
The old orc put on his glasses, took the stone, and examined it under the light.
After watching for less than half a minute, the old orc slowly put the stone on the table, his face was solemn, and his eyes were sharp: "Where did you get this thing?" ”
"Excuse me. Any questions? Cagalli worried.
The old orc didn't answer, just stared at me.
"Obtained in a strange place in the dungeon," I replied truthfully, but concealed the fall.
"Strange?" The old orc moved his mouth and let out a sneer: "I'm afraid I got this in the gap space." ”
"Ahh Cagalli suddenly exclaimed.
I turned around and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”
She was a little embarrassed and said, "I accidentally tore the corner of my clothes just now." ”
As he spoke, he showed me the corner of his sleeve that he had accidentally torn.
She wore special cowhide soft armor, strong and elastic, and without a lot of force, she couldn't tear out the slightest tear.
Looking at her thoughtful expression, there must be something hiding from me.
He smiled and didn't pursue it, and continued to turn his head and ask the old orc, "I'm sorry, I've never heard of the crack space you said, I just want to know what this stone is." ”
The old orc stared at my face for a long time, not finding the slightest hint of concealment, and finally, he shook his head and said, "I don't know what this stone is, the only thing I can tell you is that it is better to destroy it as soon as possible, it is an ominous thing." ”
After saying this, the old orc waved his hand and sent off the guests.
Walking out the door, I pondered what the old orc had said, and I couldn't figure it out.
But what is certain is that this old orc must be hiding some important clues, and if I have the opportunity to visit him one day.
Having made up my mind, I put the stone back in my pocket, and suddenly remembered that Godot seemed to be the same as me, and came out of some kind of gap, so I deliberately slowed down and stood side by side with him: "Godot, you said that after you woke up, like me, you also came out of a strange place, right?" ”
Godot nodded for some reason.
"Did you encounter a boss guarding the door?" I asked tentatively.
Godot nodded: "There is one, which looks like a wild boar." ”
"Did you drop anything after defeating the boss. What is something special? I gestured and said, "It's like this big stone?" ”
Godot thought for a moment, felt in his clothes, took out a small purple and black pebble, and said, "You mean this?" ”
"That's right, that's it" I nodded again and again, and asked with some hesitation, "Can you. Send this to me? ”
"Of course!"
Godot graciously handed the stone to my hand, revealing a pair of white teeth, shining, and a smug expression of 'that's not a problem'.
"Good brother!" I patted him on the back and whispered a wicked smile: "Billy will entrust it to you, treat his chrysanthemum well, hehehehe." ”
Godot laughs.
Billy, who was walking behind, shivered for no reason.
Walking back to the head of the line, with Cagalli, the orc girl turned her head to look at me, and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?"
I leaned over and put my hand on her shoulder.
"That.." She groaned for a moment, looked at my smiling face again, and then said, "I know a little bit about the space." ”
"Oh?" I looked at her curiously: "I'm listening. ”
She succinctly explained what she knew about the space in the gap, and she couldn't finish it until she reached the entrance of the dungeon.
Although some places are still foggy, I also have a general understanding of the gap space.
The crack space is similar to the dark line hidden in the dungeon, and only triggers by chance.
There are very few monsters known to be in the gap space, but all of them are extremely formidable.
Each crack has a secret door trap, and if you want to leave, you must find out the location of the secret door trap.
After the secret door mechanism is activated, a guard boss will naturally be generated, and the portal will only open if the boss is defeated.
As for the matter of the dark purple stone, there is only one sentence mentioned in the book: it is a useless crystal dropped by the guard boss, and it is recommended to throw it away.
I touched her little head and boasted, "You know all this, and she is really knowledgeable." ”
"Oh, I saw it in my dad's study" She was shy, her hands covered her face, and she was very cute.
In the blink of an eye, he grabbed my neck, rubbed it a few times on her huge chest, and said boldly: "How about it, it's very powerful, marry me quickly, it's all yours!" ”
After a while of the soft texture of the waves, I still stopped my surging heart and shouted: "Don't make trouble, the dungeon has arrived." ”
In front of you, it is the entrance to the dungeon.
