The knight in the abyss

Chapter 445

"You think so, we completely understand." The half-elf Jester replied immediately.Although he looks younger than his human counterparts in appearance, he is more sophisticated in conversation. "Actually, what we value is the knowledge recorded in the Tome of Darkness, rather than the scroll itself. If you really find a Tome of Darkness, please allow Brother Karalin to transcribe the contents, and we will do the same for his copy pay."

Hearing that Lancelow turned his head to look at Karalin, the latter's expression was quite nervous at the moment, facing Lancelow's gaze, he simply nodded.

"I see." Lancelow took out a gold coin and put it on the table, then stood up, "I'll pay for this cup of tea myself. It was a pleasure talking with you, but I have more important things There are things to do, please allow me to excuse me first."

"I'll go with you." Kara Lin also stood up, "Goodbye colleagues, and look forward to our next meeting."

"Once the church completes the evaluation of your work results, we will tell you the result immediately." Jeste and Hazel also stood up, and the half-elf grabbed the reward list left on the table and put it Handed it to the human knight, "Sir, please take this with you, at least when your backpacks are about to fill up, you can use this to evaluate which trophies are more worthy of being kept."

Lancelow thought for a while, but did not reject the other party's proposal, and reached out to take the scroll.

"Thank you, Sir, I wish you all the best." The half-elf saluted Lancelot very politely, "As for me, I plan to spend the remaining few hours to visit the long-famous Shuangqiao Town. If I have a chance to meet the legendary succubus lord, hehe, do you think it is possible for her to take a fancy to me?"

"Good luck." Lancelot showed a friendly smile, turned and left the tea shop, and Karaline followed closely behind him.After walking a certain distance, the scholar said with a nervous expression:
"Lancelot, I just heard about the Tome of Darkness just now, but don't you really think about it? It's an artifact..."

"Karalin, I understand that it is an important and almost sacred object to your order, but apart from the symbolic meaning, you must consider the risks involved." Lancelow shook his head and walked along the shadowed side of the street Walking forward, "The half-elf just said that you value the knowledge in it more than the book of darkness itself, isn't that right?"

"Yes of course."

"What kind of knowledge is there?"

"Most of them are about the experience and knowledge of Eminem and his disciples exploring in the abyss, including the names of the layers he has visited, maps, important places, and observation records of common demon fighting methods, ecology, society, and even There are also detailed information about some abyss lords, their servants and enemies..."

Karaline froze as he spoke, because he suddenly understood what Lancelot meant.As a disciple of Eminem, why isn't he creating his own book of darkness now?

"It seems that you already understand." Lancelot smiled. "How about it? Do you still think it's worth risking your own life just to pursue other people's research results?"

"Thank you for reminding me." Karaline looked at Lancelot gratefully, "I never thought before that I could create the same great achievement..."

"Just figure it out." Lancelot winked at the scholar, "I just passed by a shop that sells blank spell books, and there are some tomes in them that are beautifully bound and have hard shells made of dragon scales. The cover, studded with tiny gemstones and devil's horns, and every parchment inside is of the highest quality. The book will be a bit pricey, of course, but it deserves the knowledge you're going to record in it, doesn't it? "

"That's right." The scholar's face revealed a longing look, "Where is that store?"

"Come with me." Lancelot smiled slightly, "By the way, help me identify some other things..."

In the end the scholar bought his tome and scroll, and little Isha got a Ring of Shadows.This ring worth [-] gold coins is a rare magical item. It has the effect of deflecting light, allowing the wearer to better blend into the darkness. Discomfort, and to some extent avoid accidental sunburn.

After completing the purchase, Karaline also returned to Hagrid Manor, while Lancelow continued to the blacksmith area.He wasn't really looking for Brutal, the dwarves didn't have any troubles among their own kind except hangovers, but to order a tool for making talismans.Although theoretically speaking, a high-temperature-resistant iron pot can achieve his goal, Lancelow decided to follow the description in the bamboo slips to create a three-legged and two-eared container named 'Ding'.

As soon as he entered the blacksmith area, Lancelow immediately noticed that many dwarves gathered in the small square, and they were discussing something enthusiastically in front of a huge notice board.Lancelot looked intently at the notice board and found a large notice on it.The bulletin was sewn together by several sheets of skin of unknown origin, and the dead ends were fixed by finger-shaped bone nails. The content on it was written in dwarf language, a language that Lancelot could understand but could not read.

But from the conversations of the surrounding dwarves, it is not difficult to deduce what the announcement said.

"Forming a dwarf legion, what does that mean? Are all dwarves members of the legion?"

"Have we been forcibly recruited? What about the order?"

"Selling my labor for the devil is already the limit, I don't want to work for those Tanari anymore!"

"This announcement does not specifically talk about how to do it. Who is the enemy we are going to deal with? Who will be the commander?"

Lancelot stood there listening for a while, silently recording the complaints and questions of the dwarves.It seems that the succubus lord has just announced his decision to form a standing army in general, and many details have not yet been implemented. When Tijana comes over at night, he can have a good talk with her.

A few moments later, several overseers from the Council of Artisans dispersed the assembled dwarves, ordering them to return to their respective posts.Lancelot decided to find Brutal first, and ask him who to turn to and what materials he needs to cast a 'cauldron'.

As he expected, Brutal was sleeping soundly in the common room of a dwarven dormitory (which is also the tavern of these artisans), and he smelled very bad, like a man drowned in ale. mouse.

"Good morning, Ms. Gangroda." Lancelot greeted the bartender behind the bar, who was a strong female dwarf, "How long has that guy been sleeping here?"

"It's been long enough." The female dwarf glanced at Lancelot with interest, "He told a lot of wonderful stories last night."

"My dear lady, I assure you, most of them are not true." Lancelot shrugged. "Can I have a glass of water? With ice cubes."
