Othua's War Banner

CH 289 0288: Second Oven Legacy
"Ugh, that sucks."

Mr. Poehler stuck out his tongue and flicked it several times.

He didn't seem to want to recall the taste of Lanz, but tidied up all the entrusted materials according to the information on the sheepskin scroll, and finally put them in the secret compartment for delivery.

Mahalu has been doing quests like crazy for the past few days.

He has accumulated enough bounties and honor points to be able to exchange things in the bar in Ambera Ice Harbor.

Ken didn't startle the snake.

He saved up his things, and then did tasks to get acquainted with the leaders of various guilds, and contacted several well-known mercenary guilds in the northern border.

Poehler saw all these things.

Ken tactfully expressed to the Frog that he wanted to find someone to seek revenge.

The looters wandered around Ambera Ice Harbor for several days, so they should have left a lot of clues.

Pole suspected Nasa and Sutar.

He didn't say much, just reminded him this morning.

For Poehler, there are no friends or obligations.

As a professional middleman, he must maintain absolute neutrality, unless he can coordinate resources to satisfy both parties.

Not this time...

Maharu and Langmingway wanted the lives of their customers.

Ken had only casually mentioned it to Poehler.

He still pinned all his hopes on the informants of the Golden Shield Guild—after all, this kind of employment relationship is more pure, and even if there is trouble afterwards, Quinny can help to solve the problem.

After Ken handed over the entrustment, he planned to take on other tasks that required skills to solve.

But the magic marsh frog was not so cheerful today.

"Ugh, I might want to talk to you about something, Mr. Maharu."

He patted his belly mysteriously, "I have a very precious treasure waiting for consignment. I think the cooperation has been quite pleasant recently, and you also seem like guys who can afford a high price. Why don't you take care of it?" talk about..."

Ken shook his head, saying it didn't matter.

He turned around to confirm Lang Mingwei's attitude. After all, he was talking about his happy cooperation, but spending money like water was obviously referring to the knight commander of the Norin Kingdom who stood behind and spoiled his sister.

McGonagall turned to stare at her brother.

She is a scholar, curious about the treasures and culture of the North itself.

Langmingway is currently focusing on his sister's emotions, and this kind of thing is not a big problem, so he also nodded and signaled Ken to make his own decision.

"Hey hey, okay, let's see."

The Swamp Frog took out a complete animal oil candle from his pocket.

Ken and Lorgar quickly recognized the familiar smell in the air. It seemed that the customers just left before they left, and they arrived afterward.

The mechanism of the underground reward area is really amazing, every time it can just pass by.

The Demon Swamp Frog prepared the light source, then took out the box that had just been put back, placed it on the table and opened the lock toward the periphery.

[Item: Fragment of Proverb]

[Description: Records the oldest magical mysteries in the North, they involve the source of power controlled by the old gods. For some reason, the original books were scattered into various information fragments, some were rubbed on paper, and some It remains in the traces of murals and seal carvings. 】

Ken frowned.

He saw the information provided by the note.

The fragments of the proverbs actually involve things in the era of the old gods, and the "mystery of magic" mentioned in the message is also very interesting.

The tree in the legend of the North was divided into two parts.

Part of it was pregnant with the unnatural life of Palotusby, while the other body was cut in half and the dwarves cast it into the framework of the eternal wall.

But the old gods also took part of it and made it into a coffin, which contained the source of mystery and was sealed in the eternal ocean.

Ken looked at the material in front of him.

It looks like a piece of a sheepskin scroll. As time goes by, all kinds of filthy traces fall on it. It looks blurry, and even rotten and eroded. It will be annihilated into sand at any time... Gone with the wind.

"It's really not easy to save it."

Ken secretly admired.

Pole raised the corners of his mouth, as if wanting to show off, and explained: "The number of fragments of Proverbs is limited, and they will never disappear unless their secrets are unlocked. This kind of item is very precious in the northern border, and everyone wants to You want to get exclusive power, but... a lot of people died because of it."

"What do you mean it won't disappear?"

Ken didn't care about the danger at all.

A guy who was threatened or even occupied by the old gods, would he care about this?
Ken is a natural adventurer. Establishing the Santon Kaya tribe did not kill his original desire for exploration and strong thirst for knowledge.

Pole then explained: "There are countless secrets in the northern border, and what the fragments of proverbs carry... is the quantity of eternal existence. Even if this parchment is burned to ashes, there will be other fragments of proverbs in another part of the world. , instead of parchment to carry the clues that should have been handed down in the world, so this thing will never disappear."

Ken suddenly understood something

Since, as Poehler said, all those who have obtained the fragments of the Proverbs should cherish and take care of them, after all, these things are "temporary".

If it is not preserved properly, the power that was originally at your fingertips will disappear.

"In this case, why did the previous employer sell this thing? After all, you said it just now, it seems to be very precious, right?"

Ken looked suspiciously.

Poehler didn't shy away from the matter at all.

He relayed the original words of Nasa and Suta to everyone present. Looters like to make quick money, and no one wants to be tortured by secrets and exploration for the rest of their lives.

Ken accepted the reasoning.

He asked: "Then what can we use it for? You have already done the declassification. Do we still need to spend money to buy relevant clues from you?"

Poehler swayed as if to say no, and then let out his trademark laugh.

He said: "We have found professional guys to crack the secrets. There are very few people who have passed through this matter, so the benefits of it, you can figure it out without my introduction."

The Demon Swamp Frog straightened up, and even tugged at his spacious vest after sitting upright.

He said: "We are partners and we get along very well. If you want to know more clearly, I can also disclose it to you for free."

Poehler's meaning is simple: Since Ken is willing to take over, Poehler doesn't have to look for another home, and the trouble saved can be regarded as a gift for storytelling.

He told a distant legend under the dim light:

The dwarves once ruled Palotusbi. In that era, they gathered the wisdom of the entire race to create seven [Oven Legacy], which are still in use today.

The Permafrost Wall is the most famous structure.

"Other than that, little is known about the rest of the oven heritage, and it's not even clear what some of the buildings are..."

Poehler grinned and seemed excited.

"The fragment in my hand is related to the secret of the legacy of the second oven. It almost destroyed the entire northern border, and caused the ancient war banners to stumble, and finally paid a heavy price to hide it. .”

Ken frowned instantly.

He had been entrusted by the ghost of the dwarves to pay attention to the situation of the oven legacy.
