Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

Fang Yi looked at the old man across from him with burning eyes, and asked a question that had been held back in his heart for a long time.

The level of the old mage in front of me is definitely not higher than level ten. In the current situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has the power to bind a chicken, but it always makes Fang Yi feel mysterious, and then contacted the same sneaky self-proclaimed Shar's people always make people feel that there is something hidden behind, which makes Fang Yi, who likes to ask the bottom line, very itchy.

Hearing Fang Yi's question, Gelbo first looked at Xia Ou beside him. There were still some scars on the young thief's immature face, presumably it was the imprint left by living alone in Xingmu City during this period of time.

"Of course I have other ways to inform Shar. The reason why I told Xia Ou like this is actually to train him," Gelbo said slowly, but Fang Yi and Xia Ou were stunned by the straightforwardness of the words. "Xia Ou's parents loved him very much when they were alive, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he stretched out his hands for food and opened his mouth. Let him live alone in Xingmu City for so many days this time, and I hope he can mature sooner."

After listening to Gelbo's words, Fang Yi knew that Gelbo's painstaking efforts had paid off when Xia Ou didn't jump angrily or question loudly because of being deceived.

This is normal, Fang Yi knows that as an elder, Gelbo must be very aware of the cruelty of reality, and he must have made a lot of determination when he decided to let Xiao Xiaou earn a living alone - but Fang Yi's questions are not limited to these.

"That map..."

"I know what you want to ask, young man. But believe me, with your current ability, it's too early for you to be exposed to these things. It's just hurting you." He blocked Fang Yi's words with a loud voice. "But young man, I have written down your favor, and I will definitely give you enough reward."

Fang Yixin said, damn it, it was realistic enough, which clearly told him that his level was not enough to trigger the mission. [

Fang Yi silently calculated in his heart, how could he get to the inside story here, Gelbo had already opened the envelope in his hand, but after reading the papyrus in the envelope, he looked at Fang Yi with obvious eyes changed.

"Ahem, young man, the letter says you want me to repair the map? Let me have a look first."

Fang Yi looked at Gelbo suspiciously, what's wrong with this old man's face?However, Fang Yi didn't know the contents of the letter at all. He had no choice but to guess, so he took out the scroll and handed over the scroll with the map on it.

Gelbo didn't pay much attention at first, but as the scroll slowly unfolded and the broken map was gradually recorded, Gelbo's expression gradually became serious.In the end, he even picked up the candle on the table, wiped off the melted wax on the top with his fingers, and looked directly at the map.

Seeing this situation, Fang Yi felt happy: Hey, the more the old man values ​​this map, the more predictable it is. Thinking of a bunch of treasures waiting to be explored in a hidden corner of Faerun Continent, Fang Yi couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement as if there was a fucking beautiful woman posing with him in the dark.

After observing carefully for a while, Gelbo raised his head, took out something from his pocket, and handed it to Fang Yi, "Look at this thing."

The first time Fang Yi took it, he saw that the black thing in his hand was the so-called map that he had pulled out from Li Xu's hand.Seeing that Gelbo signaled him to open it, Fang Yi put the things on the table and unfolded them carefully.

The map was seriously damaged, but Fang Yi looked left and right, but he couldn't see any way, scratched his head, and Nai said to Gelbo: ​​"My knowledge in this area is zero, so I can only see the city. It seems to be Xingmu City. You old man, don’t go around the circle, explain it quickly.”

Gelbo smiled and did not speak, but put the two maps on the table, carefully put the one he got from Lish on the scroll, and slowly moved the two maps almost millimeter by millimeter. move.Fang Yi poked his head beside him. As Gelbo's movements became faster and faster, Fang Yi's eyes opened wider and wider, and he subconsciously opened his mouth excitedly.

"This is a map!?" Xia Ou, who was next to him, also saw the doorway, and shouted out.

That's right!It is a map!

Fang Yi looked at the two things on the table, his heart pounding.Gelbo's hands seemed to have magical powers. He turned the two things at several angles, and after overlapping a part, he could already see that the edges of the two things had obvious meeting points. The location on the scroll was the south coast of Xingmu City. part!

Fang Yi's excitement didn't stop there. What the old man said just now meant that the map he got from Li Xu obviously involved advanced plots, and his level was not enough to trigger it.Now the map left to him by the old ghost Turner turned out to be a fragment of the same map. Doesn't this mean that it can trigger the plot?

"Young man, your luck is really not so good." Gelbo smiled wryly, motioned for the two young people in front of him to sit down, and raised his eyes, "This map involves a big secret, isn't it I don't want to tell you, but this matter involves a lot, and it's not time for it to be revealed to the world."

Fang Yi became anxious immediately after hearing this, "What do you mean? I don't have the strength now, but it doesn't mean I'll be fine in the future. Tell me first what is drawn on this map?" [

"Don't worry, young man. Since Shar has written a letter, I will definitely help you with this job. Listen to me first," Gelbo said slowly, looking down at the two map fragments put together on the table.

"This map was handed down from a dwarf tribe living on the Dragon Coast a long time ago. I recognized it at the first sight when I saw it in Li Xu's hand. This special material is refined using the extract from the ore. It is not afraid of water or fire. It records the location of a giant mine, Mithril mine.”

"We all know what the mithril veins mean. And the mithril veins will produce many precious gems that are hard to find in the world. Many powerful mages have spent their entire lives searching for these gems, even at the risk of their lives. "

"Then, why did the dwarves hide him when they explored this vein, or didn't continue to dig?" Gelbo just said the question Fang Yi wanted to ask, but he immediately asked himself and answered, "What's the matter?" Because they have a wise prince."

"The king of the dwarves knows that the situation of the Dragon Coast is special. Once this mine vein is made public, there will be only one consequence. The Dragon Coast, a vast continent that has never been unified, will be coveted by the Cormyr Empire, the Sambia Empire, and other surrounding countries. The troops sent out fell flat."

Hearing this, Fang Yi already understood what Gelbo meant, and his joyful mind gradually cooled down.

Yeah, Gelbo was right.The two empires definitely have no shortage of mining technology. If there is such a mithril mine, the mithril armor and weapons produced are enough to equip an army of tens of thousands of people. Who can bear it?Want these lords on the Dragon Coast to fight against foreign countries together?That's just nonsense.

It is clear, but looking at the map on the table, Fang Yi is still not reconciled.Mithril, that's all money!Just give up?

"Could it be that such a big treasure has been buried until it emerges forever?" Fang Yi stared at Gelbo and asked unwillingly.

"Of course not, when you and your friends reach the level of strength, I will naturally repair the map and send it to you," Gelbo said solemnly, "As for now, let this secret be hidden in our hearts , how are you?"

Fang Yinai nodded, it was the only way to go.The Gelbo in front of him is obviously a lawful and kind old man. It is unrealistic to persuade the other party to dig the treasure for him regardless of the lives of the civilians on the Dragon Coast.

"However, in order to thank you for saving me, a reward is also necessary," Jiang Fang Yi temporarily gave up his treasure hunting plan, and Gelbo also smiled on his serious face, and said with a smile, "Take the ring on your hand Give me."

Fang Yi was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the two rings on his hand, and then at Gelbo.

"Look at that green ring," Gelbo pointed to the emerald green ring on Fang Yi's left index finger, "Isn't that an upgradeable piece of equipment?"

Yo ha

Fang Yi was really stunned at this moment, the one on his index finger was the "Jenna's Ring" he got in Tessier, Fang Yi still had a fresh memory of the little girl named Jenna, but what is the old man in front of him? Looks like the ring can be upgraded?

He took off the ring and handed it to Gelbo. Seeing that he was fumbling for the emerald green ring thoughtfully, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Gelbo, how did you know that this thing is an upgradeable piece of equipment?"

"Have you forgotten that I'm a scholar?" Gelbo waved his hand at Fang Yi with a look of course on his face, "Why do you have so many questions? Why don't you study hard? Upgrading this ring requires some tools. Get my toolbox in the house, it's on the desk in the workshop."

Fang Yi was taken aback by what the old man said, and was about to ask further questions, but Gelbo waved his hand impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up, Charlie will definitely send someone to block it when it's late, and then the ring Don’t blame me if you can’t process it.”

Gelbo offered a reward threat, Fang Yi had no choice but to obediently agree, turned his head and walked out of the hut, and ran out of the city at full speed.Although he was a bit puzzled, Fang Yi was quite satisfied that he would probably get a rare ring if the upgrade was successful.

***

The place where the old man Gelbo lives is in the forest on the west side of Star Twilight City. Along the winding path, Fang Yi only took 10 minutes to see the two-story wooden house built next to a small lake. He thought that this old man really Will enjoy, find such a quiet place.

Fang Yi habitually entered the stealth state, and slowly walked around to the back of the wooden house, but suddenly found that the door of the firewood room on the first floor was open, and there were vague figures shaking.

Did Gelbo really say that? (to be completed)
