Chapter 129

Ren woke up from his sleep and saw that it was already dawn outside the window.

He lifted the quilt and got up, and found that he had slept in Viola's bedroom all night, his body had been carefully scrubbed, and he changed into a pair of clean shorts, which should have been made by Viola.

Shaking his head slightly, the feeling of tearing his soul was no longer in his mind.

"call……"

Ren took a long breath, "Finally recovered."

The unintentional glance at the Silver Star Academy last night caused more harm to myself than I imagined, like a kind of soul wound, which cannot be healed quickly even by consuming electricity.

When he returned to Vigo Manor, he fell asleep and fell unconscious. He didn't have time to say goodbye to Roger and Zoltan.

Ren smiled wryly, this time I really can't blame myself for being careless.

The eye of the soul has been used for so long, and there has never been a mistake, except when he was an ordinary person, he glanced at Roger desperately. After the accident, he has been very cautious.

Now that he can observe the legendary soul, it should be said that there will be no problem.

Who knew, he saw the holy soul wizard at a glance.

There are only twelve holy soul wizards in the entire empire. Most of them will never have the chance to meet each other in their lifetime.

But that Duke of Redstone, who was doing something wrong, disguised himself as his student and lurked in the Silver Star Academy.

And let myself be bumped into.

Things with such a low probability can happen, Ren can only consider himself unlucky.

Until now, he has no time to think, what is the purpose of Duke Redstone? A holy soul wizard lurking in the territory of another holy soul wizard must have plots.

And it's such a sensitive time.

The recent turmoil in Longshande was all caused by the Shadow Blade, and the Shadow Blade was entrusted by someone to snatch the Iola Core of the Silver Star Duke.

Will the Duke of Redstone have something to do with Shadow Blade, the one who issued the mission?

Ren immediately denied this guess.

Every holy soul wizard is a follower of the goddess of magic. Although not all of them are chosen by the gods, they will never betray the goddess and collude with Luoxi's followers. You must know that Luoxi is the goddess's mortal enemy. The two can be said to be irreconcilable, and there is no room for relaxation. For thousands of years, the battle between the two gods has occurred countless times.

The Duke of Redstone has no reason to snatch the core of Iola, because he already has a floating city.

Even if he wants to build a second floating city, with the huge wealth of the Duke of Redstone, he can easily create a core of Iola.

There was no need for him to take such a big risk and attack another holy soul wizard.

Ren thought for a moment, always felt that something was wrong, as if the key information was missing, and it was impossible to sort out a reasonable context.

What he worried about was whether to tell the Duke of Silver Star.

If you don’t say it, the Duke of Silver Star may encounter a greater crisis; if you say it, the Duke of Silver Star may not necessarily believe it, and may even reveal his secret. If it is leaked again, he will offend the even more terrifying Red Stone Duke.

After thinking for a long time, Ren failed to make a decision.

"Forget it, anyway, nothing happened for the time being, so leave him alone."

Ren put all this behind him, got up and took a shower.

Downstairs, the housekeeper Abigail had already prepared breakfast and conveyed the message left by Viola. She went to check the damage to the Violet House.

After filling his stomach, Ren went out.

Instead of going to the Violet House, he went to the Basil Hotel first.

Riding a bicycle from Vigo Manor, I saw the consequences of the earthquake last night from a distance. A large number of buildings collapsed. Many people sat on the side of the road sluggishly, waiting for rescue. cry.

Amidst the devastation, workers are already cleaning up the ruins, and the gap by the river is also blocked, ready to start rebuilding.

Vigo Manor is on the north side of the wizard's tower, so it has not been affected, so it is safe and sound.

Ren stopped and watched for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

He skirted the collapsed area, crossed the Felegren River on another bridge north, entered the Lyon Quarter, and arrived at the Basil Hotel in no time.

The hotel was still lively, everyone was playing cards and drinking.

It's just that people's topics are inseparable from the earthquake that occurred in Yinxing District last night. Various rumors and rumors are flying around, but few people know the truth.

Zoltan was not in the lobby, and Ren found him in the back courtyard. He was sitting at the table arranging the magic cards, but he didn't see Roger.

"Where's Master Roger?"

"He's gone," Zoltan replied sullenly.

"gone?"

Ren didn't react for a while, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that Roger had run away overnight!

He hurriedly asked: "Why did Master Roger leave? Where did he go?"

"I don't know why." Zoltan threw away the cards, scattered them on the table, and said in a muffled voice, "He didn't say where he was going, but I guess he either returned to the territory of Britannia or went to Hohaven. The Principality is looking for his daughter, and he doesn't have many places to go anyway."

Ren was surprised to hear, "Master Roger has a territory in Brantania, and a daughter?"

The Kingdom of Brantania is located in the north of the empire. The people of the entire kingdom are followers of Vivienne, the goddess of the lake. The ruling class is a group of feudal conservative knights who are very exclusive.

Roger is obviously not from Britannia, but he was able to receive titles and territories. I don't know how he did it.

The Principality of Hohaven is in the southwest of the empire.

This principality is actually a vassal state of the empire. Its area is equivalent to a province. The overall terrain is a huge basin. The scenery is beautiful, the products are rich, the land is extremely fertile, and it is rich in grapes.

Its ruler is also a member of the Supreme Council, the famous "Queen of Storms", a female holy soul wizard.

"Didn't he tell you?" Zoltan asked in surprise.

Ren shook his head: "No."

Zoltan sighed: "Roger is a believer of the Goddess of the Lake. He was made a Knight of the Kingdom in Blantania many years ago. He has a baronship and a surname 'Ravis', but he never uses it. That's all."

"As for his daughter, she is actually an adopted daughter."

"I picked it up by accident in the Principality of Hohaven. I lived with Roger for a few years, and then entrusted it to a noble family in the Principality. It must have been many years since I saw it."

Ren nodded. It turned out that Roger was a follower of the Goddess of the Lake.

He only dared to observe Roger's soul directly yesterday, but he didn't pay special attention to Roger's flame of faith.

In the empire, there are not many people who believe in the goddess of the lake.

The teachings of this deity correspond roughly to the ancient traditions of chivalry, namely the Eight Virtues. However, Roger's beliefs don't seem to be particularly pious, and he has never mentioned them or prayed.

Thinking about it carefully, Ryan has already guessed why Roger left.

Apparently Roger had a real affection for Delersa before, but he realized that it might be the effect of hinting, and he was deceived. After removing the hinting technique, maybe the relationship is still there, but it is unacceptable that the Silver Star Duke has other lovers, and the status gap between the two is too great.

Ryan didn't get along with Roger much, but he also knew the pride in the heart of this legendary witcher.

He didn't want to participate in those jealous dramas, put down his self-esteem for the sake of women, and become a loyal vassal of the Duke of Silver Star like Frink.

So, just walk away and cut off the relationship.

Ren just felt a little regretful, and didn't even say goodbye to Roger.

I don't know when the next meeting will be.

"This is the booty we got from the fortress, let's distribute it." Zoltan dug out a few pieces of equipment, the most conspicuous of which were two staves and a rune book, and several other fragmentary alchemy items, It's something the Lich collected from the previous Transcendents.

There are two staffs, one from the ninth-level lich, and the other is owned by the dark wizard of the dark sun, both of which are high-quality staffs.

Especially the black wizard's staff, which comes with three spells, is worth at least two or three thousand gold.

However, the most valuable one is the Lich's rune book.

Ren didn't have time to take a closer look before, so he picked it up and studied it for a while.

This rune book is two fingers thick, like a dictionary, except for the cover, there are actually only five pages, and five spells are recorded, three of which are undead, and the remaining two are the third-ring fireball and the second-ring Austrian spells. The spell "counter-magic" can be cast three times a day.

Rune books are very common spellcasting equipment, sometimes called spell books.

The spells noted above can be changed.

A rune book that can record five spells is equivalent to top-grade equipment, worth more than ten thousand gold!

Ren thought in his heart that his melee combat was already strong enough, and it would be difficult to make much improvement in the short term. After the second soul transformation and promotion to an intermediate wizard, he should develop in the direction of casting spells.

Battle wizards are also wizards, and they still have to master more spells.

This superb rune book can make up for my own shortcomings in casting spells, and it is also very convenient to carry.

Ren quickly made a decision and said, "Zoltan, I want this rune book, but its value is very high. We will appraise the price for it, and then I will make up the difference."

"There is no need to make up the difference."

Zoltan said indifferently: "You can take it if you want it. I will sell all the rest and share it with Roger. I will keep his share for the time being."

Ren couldn't help but feel a little strange.

The remaining two staffs, plus the pile of sundries, might not be worth five thousand gold if sold, which is less than half of the rune book. With the nature of a dwarf, he usually counts a copper liso clearly, but today he is so generous, it seems like a different person.

"Zoltan, this is not like you, you have suffered too much." Ren couldn't help laughing.

"You worked so hard in the fortress, and you saved my life. It's nothing to suffer. Do you think I'm that kind of ungrateful dwarf?"

Zoltan crossed his arms, stared at Ren, and said cursingly: "Actually, my harvest is the biggest. The knowledge of runes transcribed in the temple is worth more to dwarves than ten top-quality rune books."

Ren was no longer hypocritical, "Okay, then I'll accept it."

"Hurry up and take it away before I regret it now." Zoltan shouted loudly, suddenly paused, and then said, "I'll go back to Lava Castle after I've dealt with these things."

The smile on Ren's face disappeared, "What about this hotel?"

"Tell it to a friend to take care of it for a few years. I don't know if I can come back in the future. If not, I will sell it." Zoltan looked a little bit reluctant.

Ren was silent for a few breaths, and nodded to express his understanding.

Zoltan's goal in coming to Longshande was for the rune knowledge in Ironbeard Fortress. Now that he has obtained it, there is no need to continue to stay.

And Roger also left, leaving one less reason to stay.

Seeing Renn's depressed look, Zoltan stepped forward and patted his fearful arm vigorously, and said with a smile, "It's not a farewell to life and death. If you are free in the future, you can come to Lava Castle to find me and live for a few years. Or Let's go to Roger to play cards together, with your strength, it is not a problem to live for hundreds of years, there will be plenty of time to meet in the future."

"Yes, I'm still too young."

Ren laughed, his thinking was still in the past, and he had not changed.

The legendary transcendent has a lifespan of at least three hundred years.

Dwarves can also live for more than four hundred years.

With such a long life, the perspective of viewing time is different. After experiencing more, the way of behavior is very different from that of ordinary people.

Not seeing each other for several years, or even parting for decades, is a very normal thing.

Ren didn't think about it any more, he left the Basil Hotel after collecting the rune book, and rode his bicycle to find Viola, who was going to buy a soul-eating potion and perform the soul-changing ceremony today.
