Magus Tech

The sorceress Circe looked at the visitors outside and asked aloud, "Are you?"

The sorcerer wearing a black cloak, with his hands together, performed a weird ritual: "You are a wizard of Circe, right, I was introduced by Master Tobai. I heard that you are good at reading some documents of ancient ruins, so I'm hereby asking you to help."

The wizard in the black cloak explained his intentions and introducer, but was careful not to reveal his name and identity.

Circe heard it, and was not surprised, saying: "I do have some research on some of the documents in the ancient ruins and can interpret some of the text. However, I dare not guarantee the accuracy. After all, I still know too little about ancient times. There are too few books available for reference. If you come across some relatively uncommon text, I can’t do anything. Even if it is forcibly interpreted, the time required will not be completed in a day and a half. I hope you can understand this.”

"Of course." The wizard in the black cloak nodded and didn't care much. "At the same time, I also know that if there are ancient ruins, you can't even read the Circe wizard. Other people are afraid that it is more difficult. After all, you are already in this field. There are few people who study, and it’s not too much to call them university."

After speaking, the wizard in the black cloak no longer politely pulled out a small box from his arms.When I opened the small box, I saw a scroll with dense and strange writing.

"The transcribed text, which needs the help of Wizard Circe," the wizard said, and then pulled out a second box from his arms. After opening, he saw an egg-sized crystal clear Azure gemstone.

"And this Phillips sapphire is part of your compensation for the Circe Wizard. I think you should know what its specific use is." The wizard said, "If the Circe Wizard can read all the text, by then There is another piece of Philly dark sapphire."

"That's good." Circe nodded and agreed, taking the two boxes in the wizard's hands and thinking for a while, "If you can, please come to the interpretation of the answer at this time three days later."

"Okay, Sorcerer Lauthersey is bothered. We'll see you in three days." The wizard said, without any verbosity, turned his head to look around, turned around and quickly left the alley, disappearing into the distance.

Circe watched the wizard leave, blinked his eyes, said nothing, closed the door with a squeak, and walked back to the courtyard.

After taking the two girls, Nelly and Heidi, they walked into the study, placed the box with the gems on the shelf, and unfolded the scroll with the text on the desk.

Sitting in a chair, Circe began to read the text carefully and read and interpret.Interpreting for a moment, he raised his head slightly and said aloud: "Nelide and Heidi, give me two books, "The Chapter of Ace" and "The Book of Mulu"

"Okay, teacher." The two girls said, hurried to the bookshelf to find books.

Soon the two found the book and delivered it to Circe's desk.

"Wow, wow..."

Circe flipped through the books she found, writing something on a new papyrus scroll from time to time, and occasionally called the two girls to continue looking for some books.

It was so busy that the night didn't end.

late at night.

Circe wrote the last line on the papyrus scroll, finished reading, and slowly stood up from the desk.I sighed in my heart: "The difficulty of reading this time is lower than expected. It does not take three days, but it does not matter."

Slightly moving his neck and tidying up the table, Circe watched as Naird and Heidi were already tired and fell asleep on the small bed in the study, shaking their heads.

Taking a blanket from the cabinet and gently covering the two, Circe stepped out.

In the courtyard, she walked slowly, looked at the stars in the night sky, and said to herself.

"Recently, more and more people have come to ask for the interpretation of ancient ruins. It should not be a coincidence, but may have found several consecutive ancient ruins. If there is no wrong guess, this is related to the previous, and the ruins are very likely. They all come from the Kingdom of Sika. I don’t know what was found in the ruins, and I don’t even know if this is a good thing or a bad thing..."

Circe murmured and suddenly laughed at himself again, feeling too worried.

After all, the Kingdom of Sika is too far away from the Soma Alliance where she is. Even if something bad happens, it is difficult to affect it here.

Well, it's difficult.

...

Sika Kingdom.

Early in the morning.

The rolling mountains and rivers undulate on the ground, like the back of the world.

At the mountainside of one of the mountains, at the opening of a mine cave, Gro was pacing, slightly anxious.

At this time, he was still a wizard apprentice, and his combat effectiveness was not much improved before. The only improvement may be the lack of attention in this mine in the mountains.

From a prince in the past to a miscellaneous man in the mine, it seems like a big loss.

Every time he thought about this, Gro felt that he had chosen to go on the path of wizarding, and it might have been a brain flood.

Facts have proved that blood can't solve everything. Although he has been working hard all the time, but because of lack of talent, progress has been extremely slow, and he has not been able to become a wizard.

Ugh.

Gro sighed.

Sighing, footsteps sounded in the mine and someone came out.

Gro immediately looked at it, and then saw a girl, dragging out a heavy sword.The blade of the chopping sword was scarlet, and the crystal blood beads were like red glass beads rolling down the sword body, falling to the ground and seeping into the soil.

The girl who walked out had eyes full of eyes, short hair in one ear, and full of courage.After stepping out, he slashed his sword and plunged deeply into the ground, glancing at Gro and asked, "Nothing came out?"

This is Nancy who has long been a first-level wizard.

Gro heard Nancy's words and shook her head quickly: "No, I kept watching at the entrance of the cave, and even a worm didn't crawl out."

"That's good," Nancy said. "It's basically certain now that the troubled demon creatures are all solved."

"This is a good thing," Gro said. "In that case, you don't have to worry about strange creatures rushing out and hurting the miners."

"This is indeed a good thing." Nancy agreed, but there was no sense of happiness on her face. "However, on the other hand, this mine, like the previous ones, is completely abandoned. I went in and felt it, everything. It is an aggressive energy that ordinary people simply cannot wait for a long time, let alone mine ore.

Even if the ore is mined, it cannot be sold with erosive energy, at least no such injustice can be found in the Sika Kingdom.Maybe the Soma Alliance, or the Southern Free Confederation, has such an injustice.But even if the other party is stupid, it is impossible to ship the ore so far away. After all, the freight is just an astronomical figure.

The most important thing is that up to now, the mines in the four directions of the southeast and northwest of this mountain have been similarly discovered at the foot of the mountain, the mountainside, and the top of the mountain.In other words, it is likely that the entire mountain is filled with ore with erosive energy.A little more pessimism, it is likely that this is the case in several nearby mountains, and the large number is unimaginable."

"So what?" Gro said, unable to help.

"What can I do?" Nancy said. "The only way now is to seal up these mines and find a new place to mine."

"Everything has to start from scratch," Gro said.

"It can only be so." Nancy said, complaining unbearably. "I just can't understand, how could it be so bad! I don't even understand how there is such an ore in a mine in the world, except It’s no use outside of trouble, it’s impossible to build a house, it’s a complete waste.”

Gro whispered in his heart: "You say go, don't say it to me."

After swallowing secretly, Gro whispered: "I think this ore may be useful. Although it looks a bit wasteful now, it may be of great use by then."

"Huh?" Nancy was on the fire, listening to the rebuttal, and immediately frowned.

"Uh, that's when I didn't say anything." Gro said immediately, obeying his inner thoughts.

Nancy shook her head, picked up her long sword again and walked down the mountain. Gro followed her obediently, and the two went down one after the other.

Soon after, a large number of miners came up the mountain, blocked the hole, and sealed all the evil ores with erosive energy.

After all, they are useless at all.

No use at all...
