Feiqi couldn't help but fall into deep thought as he looked at the letter flying all the way from the Holy Trinity Castle.
The good news is that all the aid requirements I put forward have been met, which means that for a long time, there will be no need to worry about the amount of rune ink and other spell materials used to make spell items. Whether it is to make three barrels of magic circles or continue to increase the capacity of the frozen storage warehouse, this batch of aid is definitely a timely help. Moreover, all requests for consent, including agreeing to establish the formula and process for Minas Ishir to make rune ink and other materials. The territory will likely be self-sufficient in the future.
Although there is a sect on his head and all the requests sent by the past are met, Feiqi still likes to be self-sufficient. There is no way. He has known since he was a child that his country is always blocked, especially in terms of technology. If he doesn't work hard, it means there is no. Therefore, whether it is called cracking or copycat, it cannot be solved with money or words, but it will not be violent. Then he can only use his brain. This is also the reason why Yan Rui chose such a job in his previous life.
We must send someone to take over quickly. The sooner the things are shipped, the better, but the good news ends here. Another part of the letter is about the oracle. The goddess asked the sect to look for "it" after the great prophecy. Now the sect to determine that "it" is a crystal cluster? Feiqi didn't know how the sect made this judgment, but he felt that this was wrong.
Through the soul questioning of Qitanna, we can know that the crystal cluster is indeed a good thing, especially for the Goddess of Truth Thunder. It can allow the goddess to improve her understanding of the world, enhance her management ability, and even learn the ability of the Creator to create the world. However... there is a big one here, but the number of crystal clusters cannot correspond to "it".
Feiqi still remembers asking Qitanna "Where are other crystal clusters?" At that time, Qitanna's soul suffered great damage from the Creator. Obviously, the answer to this question is a very taboo secret. According to simple reasoning, Feiqi can basically judge that there is more than one crystal cluster, otherwise there is no need to keep it confidential. For an item with "many pieces", "they" should be used instead of "it".
Perhaps finding one of them would satisfy the Goddess’ requirements? Feiqi thought about it and always felt that the possibility of the Goddess making a mistake in this matter was greater than that of the Goddess making a mistake. But how could he prove that the Goddess was wrong? He could not admit that he had tortured Qitanna at the soul level and obtained important information?
"Lord, can you write a letter to Archbishop McIntosh and ask him about the Crystal Cluster? I would like to know how the sect master confirmed the oracle."
"I can answer this." Didlit said to Fitch: "More than 60 years ago, I witnessed a confirmation oracle, that is, when I welcomed the Mir Mir back to the Mir Mir. That time, the goddess descended the oracle and the Sectar came to execute it. After finding the Mir Mir Mir, the Sectar held a ceremony to respond to the oracle. If the angel came and took away the items of the ritual, or gave it to the Sectar Mir, then it was confirmed that the oracle would be completed."
"So that's the case. Summoning angels is a perfect way." Feiqi said this, but he still felt something was wrong in his heart. Things might not be that simple. But now he couldn't do anything, so he could only wait and see with questions.
"Feich, let's put all the things in the Cultivator in the Ice Peak Fortress. On the one hand, the request for assistance was requested on the grounds that the Ice Peak Fortress was to be repaired, and on the other hand, it was safe enough." Diderit licked his lips, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Can the Lord's castle be built next year?"
"I expect it will be almost done by the end of next year." Feiqi probably knew what the elves were hesitating. He had previously suggested that Minas Ishir had no need to build a castle, which was expensive and useless, so it would be better to exchange it for money to develop it first. This is a very economically beneficial choice and will not affect safety much. After all, there is also an Ice Peak Fortress when the castle is really needed to defend. But on the other hand, he underestimated the obsession of the lords of this era for castle.
Perhaps this is similar to the fact that "having a house and a car" on the earth. In short, it is to obtain a sense of satisfaction and safety from material aspects. Feiqi predicts that by about next winter, the construction work of the model will be almost done. The costs of various materials and labor should decline, and the "house prices" will be cheaper. Moreover, at that time, potato reserves could be much, and the capital for hiring workers would be more abundant. Gold coins are indeed good things, but grain is still hard currency in this era.
"We have to wait until the end of next year!" Diderit was a little disappointed, but at least Feiqi had already let go. "Okay, let the development of the territory be the first priority, but don't be slouched, it's not possible to be late!"
The elves and half-dwarf Momm looked at Diderit and Feich and began to wonder who was the lord. Generally speaking, it wasn’t the lord who gave orders, and the consultant worked hard to complete it. Why did the two of them turn the other way around?
"Yes, Lord Lord. There will definitely be a castle, don't worry." Feiqi comforted her with a smile.
When Didelli finished writing the letter of mobilizing the elves to receive the letter of assistance and let the fat falcon fly away with the letter, the group finally came to where Mom found a crack on the ground. You can see that Mom's temporary camp was next to it, with sleeping bags, big backpacks and a bonfire already in ashes, but there were traces of being turned around. Judging from the footprints on the ground, there might be curious creatures such as foxes or wild dogs around.
"My rope is still there, just climb down from here. It's very dark below, you have to light the torch. Oh, maybe there is no need for Feiqi, after all, you have completed the enhancement ceremony."
Everyone found Momu's knotted rope, tied one end to the thick tree trunk next to the crack, and the other end was deep into a pit about two meters wide and five meters long. Because there were only short new grass on the newly exposed soil, it can be judged that the landslide would not take too long, at most one or two months.
"I went down from here. Here is a cave, nothing is safe. The mouse is still in the location and then passes through a crack." Momm scratched his head: "The terrain of this place is very strange, and it seems that there are gaps and caves below."
"How do you judge this?" Feiqi asked.
"Compared with the space below, the entrance of this cave is actually not big, and it has not been open for a long time..."
"I understand, the air below is pretty good, so there must be other holes, right?"
Mom nodded, and then said with some concern: "Feich, now think about it, it is not necessarily a good idea to use fire, the mouse will definitely run around."
"Let's go and see the specific situation below first." Feiqi then turned to Didrit: "Lord, the elves cannot see things like humans in total darkness. If you go down, you have to use a torch. Momm and I have enhanced vision, so there is no problem below. I suggest that the elves don't go down first, and look for any other entrances and exits around first."
"Only you and Momm go down? I'm not at ease. And the Paladin never escapes danger." said Diderit.
"The Paladins are never used as scouts on the battlefield! You won't be left behind during the battle, we two just go to review. And I have the Qi element rope, which has good mobility and can barely lead one more person, but it won't work if there are more."
"Then give you an hour and you must return before that. If you don't come back, we'll go down and rescue."
"That's fine." Feiqi nodded. "Shani, Benny, you guys stay on top and clean up the camp. I think this matter may not be resolved so quickly."
Climb carefully along the rope to the bottom of the pit, and the soil falling from above was on the feet. The surrounding walls were supported by more soil, which did not look stable. Fortunately, there were still many tree roots crossing and holding the few rocks, and as long as there was no heavy rain, there was no danger for the time being.
The cave was filled with the smell of soil and rotten plants, but there was no breath of mice's life. This was quite strange. Feiqi held the staff tightly and first used the Qi element rope to enhance his mobility, and then meditated quietly to feel the surrounding energy fluctuations. In the deep cave, in the silent darkness, in the almost stagnant air, there seemed to be a little magical reaction, which was looming and extremely difficult to grasp.
"Be careful, this place is not entirely formed naturally." Feiqi looked at Mom and found that his whole body was trembling, his face turned blue and white. "Mom, take me next to the crack leading to the mouse and go back. I have the air element rope to go up and down safely, and it will be more convenient for one person."
"No, although I'm scared, the people in the Ice Peak Fortress will never abandon their comrades. I... wait by the rift for you to need me."
Fitch nodded and said nothing. Everyone has their own weaknesses. Mom just happened to be afraid of mice. This can only be said to be bad luck, not that Mom is not strong enough. Then, the two of them rely on their enhanced vision and can distinguish the outline of the item in the dark, and then moved along the cave that kept going downwards.
A wet breath came from the air, and water was seeping from the cracks of the rocks above the head, and sometimes dripped down, and a ticking sound came from the cave. The cave was sometimes high and sometimes low. Some places had to squat down and half-lying to get through, while others were very narrow and needed to cross the belly. The two people walked forward about two hundred meters, and they should have already penetrated into the mountains according to the distance, but the air here was still very good and their breathing did not have much impact.
"It's weird here, and it should have sound and smell, but there's nothing here." Feige paused and said to Mommy: "I have a question, did you use a torch when you came last time?"
"No, I don't need that thing, and I don't know the following situation. I'm worried about combustible gas, so I didn't bring a torch."
"I need to cast a detection magic to see if there are any spells around. The magic will shine. Can you help me see what the cave looks like under the light?"
"This is OK, it's not difficult at all!"
Of course it is not difficult. Since choosing a magic that will cause light, Fitch can actually create light at any time to observe the surroundings without asking others to ask for help. He did this just because Mom was getting more and more nervous and needed to find something for him to concentrate to avoid tension turning into panic.
In order to create light, Feiqi did not use a cat-knitting stick, but used the magic matrix to illuminate the surroundings with its light. After the spell "Detection Magic" is cast, gentle and harmless mana energy fluctuations will be continuously generated, spreading to all directions like ripples. This fluctuation can be absorbed by all items using mana, and will also trigger the reaction of the spell array, and may even make the spell runes shine.
Feiqi's unique magic detection can only be deceived by using a special spell of blocking spiritual light, and he is the only one who can block spiritual light. Soon, the detection echo sent back the magic information in front of him like a radar. As Feiqi expected, there was indeed a magic array after a distance below.
"Feich, there's something strange there!"
Momm's exclamation attracted Feich's attention. Following his hand, Feich also saw a confusing scene. Among the rocks near the ground ahead, some of the stones had strong reflections, like smooth mirrors. These pure black stones could not be seen at all without light. After all, dark vision can only distinguish between black and white, so the stone and soil would be confused into one.
The two people approached the past with the help of the light of the magic matrix and swept away the soil with their hands. They found that it was more than a dozen fist-sized pieces of gravel, with sharp cross sections, which could be roughly spliced ​​into a larger black stone. This stone seemed to absorb light and then reflect light in a specific direction of the light source, which is why they were so dazzling. However, once the magic matrix was removed, the stones were completely hidden, black and inconspicuous.
"This is not like obsidian. I mean the color and texture are very similar, but its reaction to light is too strange." Mommy rubbed the black stone with both hands, put it under his nose, sniffed it with his tongue, and tried to perceive it, but even the blood of the dwarf could not tell what it was. "Feich, this stone is very crisp, and the dwarf's rock touch does not work for it."
"I saw this thing not long ago," Fitch said to Momm: "Where I found the crystal clusters, there were all these black stones around me, which could block some magic effects. I didn't expect there would be..."
"You mean there is more than one crystal cluster? Wait... This preaching did not solve the oracle?" Momm was a little confused: "Feich, is it possible that this is just a black stone and there is no crystal cluster? After all, I only saw mice!"
"The crystal cluster I saw last time has the ability to make people obey. If there are more crystals, they may have other magical abilities, such as seeing things that make people fear themselves." Feiqi thought for a while, and then denied the possibility: "No, this cannot explain the gray-brown mouse hair on your body..."
"Then, are there any crystal clusters?"
Chapter completed!
