On an open field with a good view outside Lumber Town, Hao Ren and the others reunited after a half-day of investigation.
There was still a little time before noon, and Becky would not come over for the time being, so the few of them exchanged information first.
Vivienne went to the tallest spire building in the town before. As she expected, that was where the church was located. The Huiyao sect spread across three continents in this world, especially in Huo, which is the birthplace of the church. In the Kingdom of Elleta, basically a slightly larger town will see a church. As a foreign tourist, Vivienne had a chat with the clergy there for a while, and successfully obtained some information based on her experience and eloquence of traveling poorly all over the year.
"The Leta Rune has been lost," Vivian surprised Hao Ren as soon as she opened her mouth. "The locals call it 'ancient script' or 'ancient heraldry'. I talked to the clergy in the church. Regarding the Leta rune, I found that they don’t know how to use these characters at all—theoretically, the clergy should be the most educated people here, and they don’t understand, let alone civilians.”
"The lost text?" Hao Ren felt incredulous, "Then what we saw on the outer walls of the buildings in the town is..." "Wait... Leta Rune... Holleta Kingdom..." Nangong Wuyue suddenly remembered What. With a look of sudden realization, "By the way! I heard something in a place like a school in the town, and there was a history class there. It was mentioned that the Holleta Kingdom was inherited from ancient civilizations. Could the Leta Rune be That ancient civilization left behind? The name of this country now seems to have something to do with that.”
"It should be about the same." Vivian nodded, "I don't want to inquire too much about many common-sense things, but from the few words of the clergy, I can hear their 'orthodoxy' and 'ancientness' towards the Holleta Kingdom. It is very important that this country should be the oldest country in the world. Considering the events of annihilation, the current Holleta Kingdom may really be a remnant of ancient civilization..." Hao Ren glanced at him: "Did you find out what?"
"The history of the Holletta Kingdom is more than three thousand years, which is far shorter than the historical years since the ancient annihilation event." Izaks laughed, "They should have inherited something from the ruins. As for the ancient The direct successor of civilization is hard to say. Forget it, these are details, and I have good news: now we are not short of money."
As Izaks said, he took out a bulging small cloth bag from behind, and opened it in front of Hao Ren and the others. It was filled with all kinds of shiny coins, including Jina whom Hao Ren knew, and some who looked like Thin copper coins of smaller denominations. There are also precious metal coins that are quite valuable at first glance, with exquisite shapes and exquisite materials. These shiny things immediately dazzled the eyes of several people present, and Yzaks laughed: "I don't know if I let people Is it a trap? But these should be enough for a while, and the fat boss seemed to feel distressed when he paid for it... "...
Hao Ren suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and looked at the burly man in disbelief: "You are going to block the road and rob, right?!"
This is of course impossible given Yzaks' "good guy" character, but the problem is that the big bag of coins in front of him is too powerful. Apart from blocking the road and robbing Hao Ren, he really can't think of any other way to get even basic social knowledge. Even if there is no such thing as spending half a day in another world to earn so much money, what if the big devil still believes in the theory that "heroes don't refuse to get rich"...
As a result, Yitzhax became unhappy immediately: "What do you think of me, how can I do such a thing with my integrity—I sold weapons in exchange for this."
"Weapon?" Hao Ren was taken aback.
Y'zaks untied his backpack from behind, and then tossed out two strange-looking daggers from inside: "This is it."
Several people looked at these two peculiar daggers curiously. They are said to be short swords, but in fact they only have the shape of short swords. Its material is not metal, but some kind of dark substance that looks like stone. The entire dagger is polished with this kind of stone, and there are no traces of firing or welding. A thin layer of black mist slowly floated around the blade of the sword. When Hao Ren focused his gaze on the black mist, he felt as if his spirit was involuntarily sucked in. The blunt blade also seemed to have some kind of magical power, the longer one stared at it, the faster the black mist on the blade seemed to spin.
Nangong Wuyue picked up a dagger curiously, and immediately felt a burst of heat spread from her wrist to her whole body, she was so frightened that she quickly threw this evil thing on the ground.
"Could this be... the Devil's Stone?!" Hao Ren looked at it for a long time, and finally vaguely recognized the materials of the two swords.
"That's right, it's that rock," Izaks nodded, "I've been thinking about what it can do after I brought it back from the UK. After all, such a big thing takes up space in the house. It felt like a waste—and then I just couldn’t find a job and I was free, so I just smashed it and made some gadgets. At the beginning, I gave two kitchen knives. Vivienne thought it was too heavy, so I gave it I bought two shovels and found that they were not as good as the ones sold in the supermarket. Later, I could only make such a dagger, thinking that we can’t know when we will be able to use it when we go out. Don’t think I’m not professional, but I know a little bit about how to make demon weapons. Don’t look at this as stone, but it’s not brittle at all. After being treated with magic energy, it’s much stronger and more durable than ordinary steel. I observed the human equipment in this world, and ordinary blacksmiths definitely There is no weapon comparable to this thing."
Hao Ren: "...I'll go! You sold the locals a magic sword?!"
"It's not that serious," Y'zaks waved his hand, "I've dealt with all the negative energy in the stone, and these things are at best considered solid enchanted weapons. I found the weapons shop in the town and said that I got it from a certain I found a weapon I couldn't use in a ruin, and wanted to exchange it for some money—and sold it for a lot of money."
Hao Ren looked at Yzaks in amazement: "Are you familiar with this process?"
Izaks had a laugh: "In the past, there were often brave men who came to my site to make trouble. There are many old houses in my area. I found that human brave people like to put the broken copper in those old houses. The rotten iron is collected and sold outside for money, and sometimes when there are more people from them, I can give the cleaners in the city a two-day vacation—then I will learn the process of making a fortune as a human brave."
Everyone: "..."
Now Hao Ren is very curious about what Y'zaks did in his hometown back then! Co-author, in addition to trying to improve the moral level of his compatriots all day long, he is also responsible for acting as a boss to gain reputation and equipment for the locals
Anyway, the problem of travel expenses is finally solved, as for how to spend money in this world... Just wait and get familiar with the prices. At this moment, Lily tugged at Hao Ren's sleeve: "Landlord, let's have something to eat first."
After Lily reminded him, Hao Ren realized that he also felt a little hungry. He suddenly didn't understand: "Wait a minute... why do we have to eat here?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" The data terminal was still soaking in the pot as a revolving lantern for the little mermaid, but its voice came out, "Where do you not eat?"
"Didn't we all enter the dream plane spiritually?" Hao Ren felt unbelievable. "Our bodies are lying down in the real world. What kind of energy does eating replenish?"
"Who told you that you are pure spirits in the dream plane? You are also an entity here! When you enter the dream plane, it is equivalent to creating a copy here that is exactly the same as the real world. Of course, you need to Eat and sleep to maintain activities. Of course, due to the influence of the outside body, your body consumption here will be slower. Usually, one meal a day is enough—Lily is like this because she is habitually crying out for hunger .”
Hao Ren was stunned. He vaguely felt that he was getting closer to the truth of the Dream Plane.
