Chapter 13 The Breadcrumb Stone

The bullet turned into a scarlet light and flew out from the barrel.

The black bug was knocked into the air, and under the force of the bullet, it exploded directly, turning into a pool of rotten wreckage on the wall.

The cold intrusion consciousness disappeared in an instant, and Wei'er and Fei'er's bodies shook slightly and returned to normal.

"Li He, can this worm control people?" Wei Er asked Li He with some palpitations as she looked at the black worm's body after recovering.

"En." Li He nodded lightly, "It should have the ability to control people's thinking. I suspect that Baron Murphy, who was killed just now, was controlled by him before we came. It was this bug that implanted him with a daughter. The memory that made him attack Blackstone Castle and gave him the ability to alienate."

"It sounds like this bug is quite powerful." Fei'er commented, "I just don't know how it tastes like."

"Ah?" Wei'er stared at Fei'er with wide eyes, "This bug is so scary, do you still want to eat it?"

"What's so scary, coward Wei'er." Fei'er rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "You also thought it was scary to eat the enchanted fish before, or the fish head I ate for you, isn't there nothing wrong with it?"

"I……"

Li He ignored Wei'er and Fei'er's bickering, and looked at the black bug remains on the wall. His gaze was slightly focused, and he saw something inside, something like a spar.

Stepping closer, carefully dug out with a pocket knife, and found that it was really a spar.

The spar is the size of a walnut, irregular polyhedron, translucent, as if it is filled with mist.

Holding the spar, Li He walked a few steps in the room, a faint orange light appeared inside the spar, and when he walked in another direction, the light became stronger.In another direction, the light quickly dimmed, and within a few seconds it became the same as it was at the beginning.

"This is..." Wei'er stopped bickering with Fei'er, glanced at the thing in Li He's hand, thought for a few seconds, and said, "Is this a path-seeking spar? I seem to have seen it in the castle's collection."

"Yes, the path-seeking spar, also called the breadcrumb stone, or the oracle spar, or the truth spar, is recorded in Chapter 6 of "Moloch's Notes." Li He said.

"Bread crumb stone, what's the use of it?" Fei'er listened and asked, and whispered, "It doesn't look like it's edible..."

"It's a guide." Li He said, "It's like the fairy tale that was spread. The abandoned child can find the way home by following the breadcrumbs scattered on the ground. This spar will give a path similar to breadcrumbs. The guidance of the path guides you to a place."

"The story of the bread crumbs? Oh, I remembered, but in the story, the bread crumbs were eaten by the birds in the forest, and the abandoned children couldn't find a home, so they found a house made of candy. The house An evil old hag lives in the house, she arrested the two children and almost boiled and ate them." Fei'er said quickly, but she remembered things related to eating very clearly.

"Indeed." Li He did not refute, "So, the path-seeking spar is only a guide, but it is hard to say where the guide will go, and whether it can be reached depends on the efforts of the guide.

Generally speaking, when you hold the spar and move it in the correct direction, the spar will light up. If you continue to hold the spar in the correct direction and hold it tightly, some information will appear on the spar. "

While talking, Li He firmly held the spar in his hand, walked around again, adjusted a few times, and walked in a new direction.

The inside of the spar was brightly lit, dazzling light shot out, and an illusory image appeared in the living room.

At the beginning of the image, a large mountain covered with gray stones appears, followed by a rapid movement, reaching a mirror-like emerald lake, passing through the lake is a black swamp, and then a forest.

Finally, the image passes through the forest, and a bustling city appears.

The city is located at the end of the forest, facing the blue sea.On the road outside the city, horse-drawn carriages flowed endlessly, ships in the port were densely packed, and a large amount of supplies were swallowed in and out. It was an extremely busy scene.

The image advances to see more clearly.

Towering city walls, beautifully carved city gates, wide streets paved with stones, numerous stone towers, bell towers, bustling crowds...

Eventually the image reaches a small square with a fountain and then slowly dissipates.

After reading it, Fei'er scratched her head and asked in confusion, "Where is this guiding us?"

"It seems to be a city. If it is close to the sea, it should be north of us." Weier frowned and thought.She had barely left Blackstone Castle, so she could only make simple inferences, and she didn't fully know where it was.

"It's Renza." Li He gave the final answer, "The first mountain that appeared was the Gray Rock Mountain, then the Emerald Lake, then the Blackwater Swamp, and finally passed through the Shadow Forest to Vernalenza, where we are. The capital of the Kingdom—Renza.”

Over the past six months, he has read a large number of books in Blackstone Castle while studying languages ​​and research, and he is no stranger to some common sense.

In fact, since he knew Renza, he was very interested.

According to the records, Rensa is not only the capital of the Fornalensa Kingdom, but also the most important transportation hub for several nearby kingdoms.

Merchants from all over the city gathered in the city, bringing countless goods and rare treasures, art and music filled the streets and alleys, and it was rumored that there were many real wizards living in the city.

He had thought before that if he left Blackstone Castle to explore and understand the world, the first stop would be Lenza.

"So it's Lunsa." After hearing Li He's words, Wei'er and Fei'er nodded half-understanding.

"I guessed before that there is a six-point possibility that all of this is the Earl's test, but now it is more than nine-point certain." Li He pondered for a few seconds, and said to Weier and Feier, "The Earl said That's right, her test is bigger than imagined, Baron Murphy is just a small prelude, and it is very likely that Renza is just the beginning, which is very challenging."

"It's challenging, but we're going to Lenza, right?" Faile asked.

"Yes." Li He nodded.Going to Rensa can not only check the Earl's challenge, but also explore more things in this world, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Mayfair counted with her fingers: "To go to Lenza, we must first cross the Gray Rock Mountain, then row across the Emerald Lake, then pass through the Blackwater Swamp and Shadow Forest, and finally arrive at Lenza.

There are mushrooms in the Gray Rock Mountain, silver shrimp in the Emerald Lake, tender reeds in the Blackwater Swamp, and I don’t know what there is in the Shadow Forest, but there should be no shortage of food. We shouldn’t be hungry along the way. "

"We are indeed going to Rensa, but we don't..." Li He shook his head lightly.

"Huh? Why?" Fei'er was puzzled, and Wei'er also showed a surprised expression.
