"Runic Dictionary? It is unknown if this collection is a public reader or an internal version of the 'Voice of Mysteries' Mage's Guild. Download the full collection of txt. For more up-to-date chapters, visit wΓ¨n:ww. Barrett, who 'touched' his chin, frowned: "If it is the former, although it has a certain value, it still belongs to the category of ordinary books. But if it's the latter, I think we're going to speed up the pace of going north. β
Hearing this, Rielly looked embarrassed: "I think this word needs to be recognized." And the premise of identification is that we need to have a "Runic Dictionary" at hand for public reading. β
As an encyclopedic guide to ancient writing, a book such as the Runic Dictionary is like the Cihai or the XX Encyclopedia in reality, and there is never a perfect day - every year, a new new ancient text that was originally thought to be 'buried in history' is rediscovered for its original meaning. In the same year, old interpretations were found to be wrong and had to be revised.
Under these circumstances, the Runic Dictionary circulating on the mainland can be said to have extremely diverse versions of reads; And the public reading of this is compiled by the church of His Highness 'The One Who Ignores the Mortal, the Lord of Magic, and the ** Master of the Gods'. The latest version was launched 52 years ago.
Even in the public books that this church has put forward, it is impossible to record all the ancient words and runic explanations to which they refer - after all, this kind of knowledge has begun to involve power, and if it cannot be said to be self-cherishing, there will be differences between intimacy and alienation.
Even the version published by the Temple of Bokab is hidden. Every large organization that has studied this has its own unique version. There are many ancient texts and runic explanations that are unknown to the outside world. The research value alone is invaluable.
"Lily! I don't think even the public Rune Dictionary can be bought and sold! Even in the church of His Highness, perhaps this kind of book requires a certain status or authority. "As a member of the most important business organization on the continent, Clematis. Bot still knows a lot about this.
Rieli threw the runic dictionary back into the 'dimensional bag' and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it seems that the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce also has a purchasing business in this area!" β
"The quote in the church, the public version of the Runic Dictionary is 1000 gold coins. Moreover, because some quantities are sold in the form of auctions, the final price at which it can be 'delivered' depends on the bidder's financial resources and attention. "Claymatis. "According to the priests, our church is also risky in selling these books. Naturally, it is much more expensive than obtaining it directly from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Magic. β
Leaning himself against the crooked neck tree, Noodle smiled and said, "That's anyway." The book Rielly was holding in her hand could sell it for at least 1,000 gold coins if it were sold. β
"But if it's really the internal version of the 'Voice of Mysteries' Mage Guild, the guy who knows it in our hands will definitely be furious." Claudia, who learned about the importance of this kind of literature from the conversations of her previous companions. Auditore. The answer was immediately made.
"Not to mention the Runic Dictionary, the password and decoder in our hands alone are enough to make the 'Voice of Mysteries' Mage Guild 'spend' a lot of effort to trouble us." Talking while Claymatis. Bot immediately turned his gaze to the remaining books in Rielly's hand, "If the two things fall into the hands of the 'Voice of Mysteries' Mage Guild competitors, their losses will be incalculable. β
"As long as you know it in time, reads;. It's just replacing the old password with a new one. It may be a bit of a task, but it's not very difficult. It's hard to know how difficult it is to intercept a password, and it takes a lot of luck to be able to find a message in it that can set a trap. Speaking of this, the noodle shook his head, "So unless the password is leaked and not himself, there is a danger of re-opening after a long time." β
As a wanderer, the halfling is the 'spy expert' in the team, and he can be said to know a lot about the situation this time, having 'crossed' with many thieves in the past. So the credibility of his statement is quite high.
Claymatis. Bot said with some pity: "Aren't these codebooks useless? Even competing organizations that sell to the 'Voice of Mysteries' Mage Guild can't sell it for much money. β
"It's still a little useful for me, such as deciphering the spell book in my hand, or the internal communication of the 'Mysterious Voice' Mage Guild in the dimensional bag." Speaking of this, Rieli didn't forget to shrug her shoulders and add, "Of course, that's all?" β
"Alright! Everything that should be determined has been decided! Now everyone hurry up and rest, and in two hours we will continue to set off. [A lot]" After laying out a few simple traps for reporting credit. Barrett said unquestionably.
"Then I saw you when I was a child." With that, Rielly quickly burrowed into the 'Howard Reinforcement Cover'. And the rest of the 'magic sleeping bag' was left to Claudia under the concession of the players, you look at me, I look at you. Auditore.
A short rest was not enough to fully recover from the exhaustion of the crowd (with the exception of the mage who had a roll against the sky), but these two hours of rest were enough for the blood-stained gray 'flower' players to breathe.
After getting back up and clearing up a little, they continued on the road under Barrett's leadership. Although the forest is still dark during the day, it is much easier to walk than at night. What's more, players won't be the only source of light in the woodland at this time, and naturally there won't be swarms of insects surging towards the group.
β¦β¦
"Puff-puff-puff-" The cat boy swung a series of combination punches from the palm of his hand, and hit the wild boar in front of him in the brain. Even with a thick crust of 'mixing' rosin on the outside, the force of the impact made the boar in front of it slump to the sideβjudging by the blood that flowed from its nostrils and eyes. This hundred-pound guy basically can't survive reads;.
Barrett, who was watching the play with the mage on his back, said, "Rielly, you come down first." I'm going to have to get this big guy out of here. lest we stay and become more likely to 'expose' our sexual energy. β
"Okay!" Rielly, who had adjusted her posture, slid to the ground with ease, and after being in contact with the hard armor for a long time, she took this opportunity to 'rub' her part that was a little painful. In front of the players, there is a 'wave' of turbulence.
The noodles on the side looked at the big boar in front of him with some reluctance and said, "What a pity! If this 'rosin pig' is treated, the outer crust of the two is roasted together. It's not just 'meaty', but it also has a unique aroma. β
"It's time like this, and you can only care about eating!" Claudia. Auditore couldn't help but knock on the head of the halfling wanderer, "If you really want to eat, after you 'trade' all the harvest this time, will you still need the 'cost' on the food?" β
Hearing this, Noodles couldn't help but shake his head: "You don't understand!" Some foods are tasted in a tavern and grilled in the wilderness are two completely different tastes. Especially game. By the time I'm sent to the restaurant, it's probably been a day or two. Naturally, the taste was much worse than that of the freshly killed. β
"It's up to you. However, it is impossible to say whether it is really exquisite or poor. Rielly, who was on the side, also spoke up to her friend at this time.
But what people didn't expect was that Noodle actually had a sense of superiority on his face at this time: "I really have nothing to say about you guys with a dull sense of taste." Those who don't know how to enjoy food are a bunch of poor people! β
"I'm not trying to spoil you, though. Noodles though. In fact, 'rosin pig' is not the most delicious to eat freshly killed. Barrett, who was carrying the boar on his shoulders like Elle on his back, turned around and said, "Aging is very important in the 'meat' flavor. It is good to know that the deterioration process of 'meat' is actually divided into four stages. And before what is generally considered to be **, there are two stages of autolysis and post-ripening. Of course, autolysis is enough to affect the taste and cannot be eaten. However, the 'meat' in the later stage is indeed the most delicious. β
"Is there such a statement? How come I haven't heard of it at all. The halfling wanderer looked at Barrett in disbelief. The expression was like saying, 'I don't read much, don't lie to me.'" β
Barrett, who didn't care at all about the weight of the boar on his back, winked at the noodles: "How could I be lying to you!" "Meat" class of "destiff mature" as a glutton, you should have heard of it; The process by which the body of an animal gradually hardens and stiffens after slaughter is called 'mortis'. At such times, the 'meat' category is particularly unpalatable. β
"Huh-'zombie'? When I heard this term, I seemed to be reminded of the forensic vocabulary in the criminal investigation dramas I had watched before. Barrett, how can you relate it to food. While saying this, Clematis. The blood on Both's face was fading.
"'Zombie' is a state that all animals have when they die. Only in the past. Forensic doctors use it as one of the bases for judging the time of death. In fact, among the most astute chefs, dealing with 'dead bodies' is a skill they must master. Speaking of this, Barrett can be said to be full of confidence, "Generally speaking, the 'zombie' lasts for a certain period of time and then begins to relieve, the hardness of the 'meat' decreases, the water-retaining 'nature' is restored, and the 'meat' becomes tender and juicy, and has a good flavor, which is most suitable for processing and eating, and this process is the de-stiffening and maturation of the 'meat'." β
"But according to you, this technique should be very common. Why I haven't heard of it. "The noodles with their hands on their 'chests' stared at Barrett in front of him breathlessly. It seems to have a look like, 'You're not going to make it clear today.' It's not over'.
"The main thing is that this method is not so clear in the actual process. Due to factors such as temperature, method of killing, and type of meat, the time for the 'meat' to undergo the above process is not the same. Even different parts of the same piece of 'meat' have different processes that take different parts of the process. Even due to the effects of the storage process, it may be that part of the 'meat' stiffening process has not yet ended, while the other part has begun to autolyze. Barrett shook his head.
"Listening to you say that, I find that this is really not an easy thing to do!" Claudia. Auditore nodded slightly.
Barrett then said with some regret: "It is true! Although in general, a good chef can judge the changes in the 'meat' protein in the later stage of ripening through experience and appearance. After the stiffening process is over, the ingredients are quickly processed before the autolysis process begins. So that diners can enjoy the most perfect food. But in reality it's not easy. β
'Touching' the chin of Clematis. Bot seemed to understand the meaning of Barrett's words: "That is to say, the vast majority of the fresh 'meat' we eat is not actually the best taste. β
"It's just that most chefs don't know how to avoid the worst times of the day. It's just that it's not good to grasp the most delicious time. Of course, for some families who can afford to hire a well-known chef. Every day when you can taste the most delicious 'meat' category. I'm afraid I'm used to it! Barrett said as he shook the boar that had been slowly sliding and quickly reset it.
Then Barrett carried the big guy on his back and walked into the jungle without looking back. And the halfling wanderer in the team, who was originally called extremely happy, seemed to be standing in the field with blank eyes. It seems that his own outlook on life and values have been affected - he always thought in the past. Whatever is always fresher, the better.
Even when Barrett was back on the team. The little man of the noodles still didn't have the posture to come over. Although he was still able to follow the large army forward, subconsciously avoiding trees and 'chaotic' rocks. But giving it feels like having lost soul. Even though things improved the next day, he still gave people a vague feeling.
After several days of trekking, players have finally left the dense jungle and returned to civilization. At the same time, the long-lost system prompt also appeared again: "The treasure hunt quest 'Bremeier's Institute' has been completed...... Bloodstained Grey Flower squad gains 400XP...... -80 ...... 'Voice of Mysteries' Mage Guild Fame"
"Looks like this mission. We don't seem to have done a good job! Barrett, who said this, looked at Claudia. The 'trophies' in front of the 'chest' of Auditore.
Because he had to carry a mage with limited mobility on his back, the toddler's unknown creature could only be 'carried' by a few other players in the team in turn. Although a few of the 'women' complained at first, they didn't say anything after getting used to it - of course, it had something to do with the cute little guy who was sleeping. If they had put on an ugly test specimen, they might have thrown it away while Barrett wasn't looking.
Rielly, who was still leaning on Barrett's back, rightly said, "Isn't that nonsense? There was more than one ruin, and we hadn't been able to fully uncover one. In this case, there is no way to get any high evaluation! β
"That's it! Our Master Mage. Now that you have reached a civilized society, can you please come down and walk by yourself? I don't think the effect of that curse will come to this point! Barrett shrugged his shoulders and shook Rielly on his back.
Rielly, who slipped loosely, moved her arm after landing on the ground: "Although the armor is too hard, the feeling of the human 'meat' mount these days is really good." β
"It's only 400 experience! I don't know when I'll be able to reach level 5! Noodles sighed as she said this.
What started out as a plain complaint has now attracted a lot of attention from players. You must know that these days, halflings wandering 'wanderer' are in the type of being silent for half a day.
Barrett, who was the first to speak, asked, "Noodles, you replied." Isn't it ......"
But before Barrett could finish speaking, the halfling wanderer in front of him grabbed Barrett's big 'leg' with a flying pounce: "Master, I will follow you all my life." If there are any well-known delicacies, you must take me with you! β
"Let go! Let go! What kind of system have you become? "Barrett, who is not good at being heavy on his companions, is still entangled when he looks at the noodles holding his 'pants' and 'legs'!
Seeing this qiΔ, Rielly felt a burst of joy in her heart: 'Let you show off, let you show off.' Now you have come across kraft candy that you can't shake off! β
It's just that Barrett, who found the weakness of the noodles, immediately prescribed the right 'medicine': "You don't let go." I remember there was a restaurant in Boreham that was well cooked. If you don't let go, go find it yourself! β
"Alright Master! Be sure to take me there! Speaking of this, the noodles suddenly remembered something, "The Boleam Collar is too far away from where we are now!" β
"It doesn't matter, after all, it's one of our next destinations." Barrett rightly said.
Claudia. Auditore frowned: "Boreham is the next destination candidate?" Barrett, you're not going to give up on our companions and go back home! β
"I understand what Barrett means. He's ready to find a suitable platform for those of us who need to be shot. "Claymatis. Bot nodded in understanding.
"Clever!" Barrett, snapping his fingers in passing, went on to explain, "We've had a pretty good time this time. But the most valuable of these are the things that we can't use ourselves. So we have to find a suitable channel. In exchange for items that we can use ourselves. β
"Speaking of which, Barrett, the Boreham collar you just mentioned is one of the candidate destinations. That said, there are several other options. Rieli asked, after the activity.
Barrett nodded and said, "In addition to the Boreham Territory, Repulse City is also a candidate territory, as well as Karada, where we used to stay. In terms of shots, Repulse City, which has the most developed commodity economy, is naturally the first choice. But where the safety 'sex' is a problem. The roots of Miss Bert and Miss Auditore in their hometown seem to be a bit problematic. β
"You don't have to worry about my feelings. Isn't it exile in disguise! It's not a big deal. "Claudia. Auditore shrugged indifferently.
Barrett then turned his attention to Clematis. Bote: "Now it's time to confirm the protective attitude of the Church of Wealth and Business 'Woman' God to its own clergy. β
"I won't talk about the possibility of internal competitors being hacked. I think you already know enough about the purpose of the Church of Wealth and Business. "Speaking of which, Clematis. Bot spread his hands. "Although I was able to sell some loot to the church at a relatively good price every month. But this was a unified acquisition by the Church. And if we sell the right people in our hands, it will definitely be worth more than selling to the church. β
"In that case, Repulse City will have to be temporarily excluded." Rielly nodded, "If you want to sell it there, if you want to ensure safety, then I'm afraid the income will be affected a lot." β
Now that Repulse has been vetoed. Barrett immediately began to introduce the next city: "The flow of goods in Karada is good. And as the old capital of a powerful kingdom. It is home to almost all the major mage organizations on the continent. If you shoot there, you should be able to get out quickly. And the safety of the inner city of Karada is good. Our personal safety should not be too much of a threat. β
"I think in Karada, too, we are seeking refuge from the Boreham family! Then why not choose to do it in Boreham! Claudia who said this. Auditore also questioned, "Barrett, are you so sure that the Boreham family won't cheat?" Although the Church of Wealth and Business 'Woman' God seems to be very oppressive, they are also opening the 'door' to do business at a clear price! β
"Claudia! I would like to remind you. The 'private' way of doing things in my Episcopal Church is actually not very good. On the contrary, the Boreham family has always had a good reputation on the mainland. "Claymatis. Bot patted his friend on the shoulder helplessly.
Although for the current Boreham family, Barrett is far from knowing what he did 200 years ago. But he still said with great certainty: "The Boreham family attaches the most importance to the execution of the contract. As long as we can make a good contract, there should be no surprises. And don't forget that there is a holy place in the territory of Boreham, where the Lord of Justice is located. This is another big guarantee for us. Of course, they still have to be paid, but it should be much less than from other channels. β'xh118γ
