Chapter 55 Notes from the Holy Shrine
This was the first time Ronan saw Old Wells look so solemn, and he even used the word "please" to himself.
"you say."
Ronan's expression also became serious.
Old Wells seemed a little embarrassed to speak. After struggling for a while, he whispered: "I found out that someone is selling tickets for the recent departure from Hoddam, but the price is very high. A ticket requires a high-grade magic stone."
"Go crazy!"
Ronan shook his head, feeling ridiculous, "The ticket for the first half of the year only costs ten low-level magic stones."
Even if prices increased due to the war, they would not rise to such an exaggerated level.
A person who can produce a high-level magic stone will be worried about not being able to leave Hoddam?
"Um."
Old Wells nodded, "It must be a blind bid. I think ten intermediate magic stones are the most for a real deal."
Ten Intermediate Magic Stones
The price is about the same, so it’s reasonable.
Ronan did not ask Old Wells whether this channel was authentic and reliable. Old Wells had rich experience in the world and had his own judgment.
"How much more do you need?"
Ronan asked directly.
"Eight dollars."
Old Wells said: “As long as it’s enough for Venetia alone.
She can take Cheryl with her."
Ronan said nothing and looked into Old Wells' eyes.
He still vaguely remembered that Old Wells once told him that he wanted to leave Hoddam and find a secular kingdom and become an idle old noble.
If the invasion of the Forest of Deathrattles hadn't happened. At this moment, perhaps he was already basking in the sun on the top of a castle belonging to a nobleman.
"I'll give it to you now."
Ronan let out a breath and reached out to touch his waist bag.
He didn't have many magic stones left on his body, but he could just take out eight intermediate magic stones.
For Old Wells's own ship ticket, he still had to wait for him to open up the last black-robed wizard's storage pocket, or wait for him to sell rune stones to make more money.
But Old Wells held him down and shook his head: "Not now...I'll ask you again when I really need it."
As he spoke, he took out a package of things from under his robe and stuffed it into Ronan's hand.
"Anyway, thank you Ronan."
Old Wells hugged him and whispered blessings in his ear: "You are more humane than any wizard I have ever seen in my life.
You can go far, I have a gut feeling."
After speaking, Old Wells patted him on the shoulder and turned around to blend into the rich night.
Ronan looked at the heavy gray package in his hand, and then at the disappearing figure of Old Wells, feeling mixed emotions in his heart for a moment.
He knows it very well.
What Old Wells gave himself was probably all he felt he could repay himself with.
Under the bright and soft crystal light, Ronan sat at the table and carefully looked at what Old Wells had given him.
It's two books.
This book is the most common "Basic Potion Science". The difference is that every page, every paragraph, and every line on it are densely written with the results of Old Wells' own research, his summary of experience, and he is counting. The most detailed experience gained after repeated failures in ten years.
There are even a few low-level magic potion formulas that he figured out by himself, which are not precious but very practical. Ronan had already seen it during his last escape in the forest.
This book is very helpful for Ronan to get started with potions. It is all condensed with the hard work of old Wells.
As for the other one.
Ronan looked different.
This is a notebook.
Pretty old notes.
The pages are yellow and brittle, and it feels like they will break like dry leaves if you use even the slightest force to turn the pages.
Ronan carefully looked through the notebook.
The words left on the notes are also very old, and the ink stains in many places have faded to the point of disappearing.
A large part of the notes is missing, and I don’t know if they decayed over time or were torn apart.
The rest of the pages are mostly messy, trivial, and messy information.
Ronan frowned and reluctantly read the entire notebook, sorting it out - this notebook mainly talks about how to reproduce something called the "Power of the Holy Shrine".
It involves a lot of profound and obscure knowledge of alchemy, potions, runes, and various professional terms.
For Ronan at this stage, it is like a book from heaven.
Moreover, the research on the notes has not yielded any results in the end. It seems to have failed. The owner of the notes has barely come up with how to seal the "Power of the Holy Shrine" for a long time.
"What is the power of the Holy Shrine? Can it be of great benefit if it is reproduced?"
Ronan didn't understand it at all. It was so profound that it was like a primary school student accidentally picking up a college textbook.
But you said this thing is completely useless? Not really.
It is indeed very ancient and records knowledge related to wizards.
From this point of view...it is extremely valuable!
Perhaps it was for this reason that Old Wells gave it to himself.
Ronan carefully put this ancient notebook into his storage pocket.
At this time, there was still faint movement outside the house.
Thinking back on the series of events that happened tonight, Ronan sighed softly, took out the last storage bag that had not yet been opened, and started grinding it slowly.
The matter of the Wandering Gray Robe Recruitment Order, after fermenting for one night, reached a peak of excitement the next day.
Ronan ran to take a look.
It was discovered that this so-called recruitment order was issued in the form of a task.
The announcement, printed with the ivy mark representing Hoddam Wizarding Academy, densely lists a large number of tasks for the wandering gray robes to choose from.
It can be as small as collecting some specific magic potions around the wizard's land, or as big as joining the action with the wizards in the academy.
The one with the highest reward reaches ten intermediate-level magic stones. The mission is to explore the specific conditions of a small magic stone mine more than 200 kilometers away. At that time, the wizard will set off on a magic airship. The wizard who takes on the task is required to be at the intermediate level. Apprentice or above, and with certain combat experience
Ronan looked at the waiting tasks on the bulletin board with a blank face, and then quietly withdrew from the crowded crowd.
With his current level of rune engraving, as long as he stays at home and spends more time, he will always have a stable income, so he will naturally not be interested in these tasks.
But it's different for other wandering gray robes.
This task recruitment issued by the college is simply a rain of sweet rain for many wandering gray robes who can no longer live happily and want to move out of town immediately.
As long as you go to a specific area when you have nothing to do, you can get magic stones in return?
If you are more courageous and dare to take some risks, will you have a chance to obtain the reward of intermediate magic stones? !
How many of the wandering gray robes living at the bottom have ever seen a real intermediate magic stone?
The homeless gray robes who are too poor to live happily are so excited that they are almost crazy when they see the large number of reasonable, legal and well-paying "job opportunities".
