Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

() With the "huge amount of money" injected, the members of the Mithril Shell team immediately formulated a plan to strengthen their equipment. Except for Fang Yi, Lao Mo planned to change everyone's equipment to two pieces—in fact, Fang Yi also had a few pieces to make up for it. However, the impact of ordinary blue equipment on improving Fang Yi's combat effectiveness can be almost ignored, so Fang Yi did not participate. .

When Qinggang led the dwarf warriors to the auction house to purchase, and the old devil went offline to continue searching for useful information in the vast ocean of game data, Fang Yi returned to Gelbo's small building.

Because he was busy with tasks, he had no time to bring Ji Feng to upgrade. At this time, the dog still looked half-grown, and his cute appearance had not completely disappeared, so Xia Ou still "loved" Ji Feng as always, leading Unhappy dogs run and play in the forest.

Gelbo helped his lens, and put the fingernail-sized gem on his hand to observe carefully: at first glance, this small polyhedron looks like an ordinary diamond, but the surface is cut very smooth. It seems that it has been carefully carved; but after careful observation, it will be discovered that the inside of the transparent polyhedron will emit colorful light from time to time, which is not the refraction of sunlight, but the luster of gemstones themselves.

The most surprising thing is that when the gem is placed in the sunlight, the sunlight penetrating through the body seems to be covered by an invisible force, leaving a clear shadow of a small polyhedron on the table without even a trace of sunlight passing through. come over.

Gelbo looked suspiciously at the assassin next to him with a flattering expression, gently stroked his beard, his eyes were full of doubts, "This thing... I seem to have seen it in some book, let me think about..."

"It took me a lot of hard work to find this. I can only let you see it. Don't confiscate it like that map fragment~" Fang Yi reminded a little worriedly, seeing the old man's eyes Glaring, he immediately smiled flatteringly, "I know the name and attributes of this gemstone, but since you are classified as the number one scholar in Star Twilight City, you will definitely know it better than me~"

"The confiscation of your map is for your own good, and you will definitely be grateful to me in the future," Gelbo directly ignored the resentment in Fang Yi's tone, and turned his attention back to the gemstone in his hand that was shining with magical colors , "It's been too long, I really can't remember clearly, let me check."

After finishing speaking, the old man handed the gem to Fang Yi, got up from the table, went to the bookshelf next to the window in the living room, and bent down to find something.

The wooden bookshelves form an L-shape, leaning against the corner of the stairs and the wall, densely packed with books that seem to be very old, and some of them are words that Fang Yi does not understand at all.

The sunlight near noon just happened to be able to shine on the bookshelves through the treetops outside the window, and purple shimmers flashed on the golden wood from time to time, which was a little insect repellent trick performed by Gelbo.The collection of books that is a full head taller than Fang Yi is covered with black and white mottled tree shadows, coupled with the sound of "crawling" leaves outside the house, it reminds Fang Yi of the time he spent in the library when he was chasing a certain girl.

By the way, every time I come to this small building in Gelbo, I can feel a calm atmosphere, which is really strange—Fang Yi looked at the old man shaking his head looking for information on the bookshelf, and smiled. think.

"Have it!"

Gelbo took out a thin paper scroll from the bottom shelf of the bookshelf, then walked to the window with a little excitement, and gently blew off the dust on the scroll.

"Fang Cuan, if you don't bring something good every time you come, I'll feel abnormal," Gelbo walked back to the table holding the scroll, and looked at the assassin who was leisurely sipping tea with a smile, " Now I can guess the value of that little gem without looking at this scroll~"

"Oh? Why?" Fang Yi asked curiously while playing with the exquisite gem in his hand.

Gelbo didn't answer, but unfolded the scroll slightly. On the walnut wood shaft in the center of the scroll, several words in dwarf language with clear engravings came into Fang Yi's eyes.

"The Encyclopedia of Strange Gems - by Tisrael"

Seeing Fang Yi's ignorant face, and Gelbo's expression on the face of a cow playing the piano, he gently placed the scroll on the clean table and unfolded it, while shaking his head and sighing, complaining, "Oh...you are so ignorant, Somehow I keep getting these curiosities."

"Tisreal was a famous human adventurer a long time ago, and a great mage who was lost in history...Of course, it doesn't matter. The records in this book are all the rarest ones in Faerun Continent. Gems of…”

"Huh...? This is the Thief's Stone!?"

Gelbo quickly found his target, but the fingernail-sized gem in Fang Yi's hand obviously exceeded the old man's expectations. He stared at the simple words and vivid illustrations on the scroll with wide eyes, and looked at The jewel, which was less than three feet away from him in a straight line, shouted involuntarily.

Fang Yi grinned, showing his white teeth, and gently placed the Thief's Stone on the page of the scroll, "That's right, old man, this is the Thief's Stone."

Gelbo immediately entered the "research mode", and compared the records on the scroll with the gemstone one by one, and soon had new doubts, nana said to himself: "But why is this shape different from the one described above? ?”

Fang Yi also poked his neck to look at the content of the scroll, and when he saw the picture of the Thief's Stone, he shook his head disdainfully, "I think this Tisrael is also a fake bricklayer, the picture on this picture is obviously Silver Emerald~"

"how do you know?"

Gelbo's expression of 'you are the brick', obviously disdainful of this person outside the door who doesn't even know "The Complete Collection of Strange Gems".

"Hey, because this stone of thieves is made of silver emerald~"

Fang Yi raised his chin triumphantly. It was a rare opportunity to show off his knowledge in front of Gelbo. Of course, he had to look at himself. Seeing the shocked expression on the old man's face, Fang Yi struck while the iron was hot, and added,

"And I have this forging recipe~"

***

The pier of Star Twilight City.

Due to unknown reasons, the number of ships coming and going in and out of Xingmu City suddenly decreased a lot, and at the same time, pirates in the nearby waters became rampant, making the merchants who came and went frightened.

After this situation lasted for about a week, the pirates suddenly disappeared again, as if they had lost their minds and made people puzzled.

In this context, a small team of three people and one dog came to the pier full of salty sea breeze.

"I didn't expect you to know the captain. It seems that scholars have more friends than I can imagine~"

While patting Gelbo's ass, Fang Yi snapped his fingers at Ji Feng who was running around. The obedient dog also took advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Xia Ou's entanglement, and returned to his master wagging his tail.

It is not uncommon for pets to go shopping in Xingmu City now, and Fang Yi can finally take Ji Feng to the streets generously.Occasionally, he is harassed by players who want to buy pets, and some female players who are fascinated by Ji Feng's cute appearance come up to stroke Ji Feng's soft hair-of course, Fang Yi himself does not resist the latter situation.

"Ah, Mr. Gelbo, what wind brought you here~"

On the pier bathed in sunlight and breeze, a bearded human who was instructing sailors to carry goods saw the smiling Gelbo, and immediately walked over with a big smile. Judging by the expression, he should be an old acquaintance with the old man.

Gelbo stepped forward and gave the bearded man a warm hug, his face was slightly flushed with excitement, "Haha~ Long time no see Wayne, you haven't lost weight at all~"

"If I don't go out to sea again, my weight will become heavier and heavier like my mood," Wayne shook his head with a wry smile, and turned his attention to the two people and the dog behind Gelbo, "Xiao Ou is also tall. Already~ this is...?"

"This is a little friend of mine, called Cube," Gelbo briefly introduced Fang Yi to the other party, and said with a smile, "If it weren't for the rampant pirates in the Falling Star Sea this time, I don't know when we will see him next time." How about you~ go to the tavern, I have something to discuss with you."

After giving some instructions to the sailors, the bearded man brought them to the tavern near the pier, found a table to sit down, and Fang Yi ordered the best desserts and rum for them. Give Gelbo a wink.

"Wayne, I actually came here to ask you for a favor," Gelbo hesitated, and whispered, "Fang Fang and his friends want to take a boat to the sea."

Wayne was taken aback for a moment, but quickly nodded with a smile, and turned his gaze to Fang Yi, who was looking forward to it, "I thought it was such a big deal, it's simple, and I wanted to enjoy the scenery on the sea? Haha, it's actually nothing interesting Yes, you will get bored after a week at sea~"

"No, Wayne, I mean the secret waterway, the secret waterway that passes the southern tip of the island archipelago."

Gelbo lowered his voice on purpose, but the bearded man immediately opened his eyes wide when he heard this sentence, as if he couldn't believe what he heard from Gelbo, "Old friend, I know you are interested in adventures." I have a soft spot, but that kind of place is really not a good place..."

"It's not me, it's my friend," Gelbo shook his head lightly, looked at Fang Yi, and said solemnly, "It's a trustworthy friend."

As soon as Gelbo said this, the bearded eyebrows raised, and he couldn't help but look at the young human next to him.And Fang Yi's heart moved slightly, he was full of gratitude to the old man sitting beside him - for a npc with a high reputation, saying such words is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation to the player.

"Yes, but it won't work these days, Mr. Gelbo, you know." Wayne was silent for a few seconds, trying to lower his voice, "The trade wind in the southern part of the Sea of ​​Falling Stars is coming.")
