Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

"In that case, you should publish it," Ron looked at the scroll in his hand, then at Elden, "but you just... kept it and suddenly gave it to me tonight?"

"This research was done by her and me together, so if any results are to be published, we should both receive the honor," Elden explained, "but she is gone, and publishing becomes meaningless."

"After that, I opened Elden College while the depigmentation had not completely eroded me. Because of my meager efforts in the war, my college is running well, not The fading disease progresses faster," the dwarf smiled, "which is just what I want, I guess."

"The only thing I am a little worried about is the results of me and her. Although I can guarantee its safety, I have been struggling to find suitable candidates to test and inherit it. The students in my academy were all taught by me after fading. They are more than enough to follow the rules, but they are far from enough to inherit the mantle of me and her."

"Until today, I saw your fighting style."

Dean Elden lit another cigar. He seemed to be particularly addicted to smoking tonight: "Magic, archery, alchemy, enchantment, you have dabbled in them, And try to blend them together, aren't you the successor we want most? "

"I think: this scroll should belong to you, sir!"

Looking at Elden's eager eyes, Ron could only respond with a friendly smile: "This... I appreciate your trust, Dean, but can you tell me what kind of spells are recorded in it?"

"Didn't I say it just now?" Elden choked, "Sorry, I may have to meet her soon, and my mind is not clear now. "

"I named our achievement 'Short Suggestion'. This spell belonging to the school of illusion will infuse the caster with a great A lot of suggestion, so that it can become a master of close combat in a period of time. "

"In order to ensure the safety of the caster and avoid irreversible sequelae, this suggestion will evaluate the user's intelligence level and the level of research on the arcane to change the depth of suggestion to ensure that no permanent brain damage is caused. "

"I believe that you can maximize its effectiveness at your level, but I suggest that you don't rely too much on it and keep exercising, otherwise you probably won't feel good for a long time after strenuous exercise. "

"Become a master of combat?" Ron was a little moved by Elden's introduction. The most common shortcoming of spellcasters is that they find it difficult to deal with close enemies. Even if they won't be injured, they will inevitably disrupt their rhythm. If they can have high skills at the same time, this problem will certainly be solved to a certain extent.

But through suggestion?

Ron asked cautiously: "Can I still cast spells normally in this situation?"

"No," Elden answered straightforwardly, "but I think this is not a problem for you, right? Even if you can't cast spells, your arrows and alchemical potions can still be used. This spell will not have too much impact on you, which is one of the reasons why I entrusted it to you."

"Sir Ron, the depigmentation disease follows me like a shadow. I don't think I have more time, and this spell is not suitable for my own use. You are the most suitable person I can find. If you don't accept it, I think it will continue to be covered in dust until some reckless person in the future wastes it in a muddle."

After saying this, Ron couldn't refuse. However, Elden didn't expect Ron to produce any new results. As long as this scroll can be put to good use in the end, he would be satisfied.

"Can I copy it down?" Ron returned the ribbon on the scroll and asked.

Elden waved his hand indifferently: "It's up to you, but when you have time to come to my academy, I hope you can tell me about its final destination, so that I can rest assured."

"I will keep the appointment when the time is right." Ron nodded. Elden's visit gave him and Wangxiangdi a generous gift, and he should return the favor.

Since it was late, everyone decided to stay in the witch's hut for one night and send Elden and the other two away the next day. After everyone except a few spellcasters went to bed, Elden found Ron again who was still preparing spells.

"Gordon, Shiva and I sorted out the records of the previous communication with the witch. There is one thing that may be of interest to you."

"I'm all ears." Ron watched Gordon come over and opened his own notes. Between the densely packed lines, Ron saw a rectangular stick figure.

This may be a stone slab with seven circles drawn on it.

"What is this?"

"Amethyst slab, rumored to be the trump card of the Hailan Empire," Elden said, "According to the witch, Lord, you are also looking for it and its seven keys?"

This witch is also very talkative... Ron couldn't help but sighed, can such a thing be spread everywhere?

"For a guy like me, it would be strange if I didn't know some things - although it was indeed unexpected for it to appear in the delusion land," Elden snorted, "I don't have any idea about this thing, but I have some clues about the key: if you haven't collected all the seven keys, it is very likely that one of them has been lost to the Carolina city-state."

"A necromancer named Henry Robertson once showed me his collection at a salon, which included a blue-gray gem."

Several people listened attentively to Elden's story at the salon, and no one noticed that the ears of the dhampir meditating in the corner moved slightly.

"...He swore that this was the legacy of the Hailan Empire, and it was very likely that there were precious magic items hidden in it. But he tried almost every way to open it, and he almost damaged the gem itself."

"He invited us to help him crack the gem key and take out the precious items inside. I also made some attempts at the time, but unfortunately no one succeeded."

"Of course it won't succeed," Ron smiled and shook his head, "You know about the stone tablet, and you must be able to guess that the gem as a key must open the lock to get the items inside."

"But I'm a little curious: whether it's the gem or the stone tablet, it was brought to the Delusion Land by someone in the Hailan Empire. How did a necromancer from Carolina get it?"
