Chapter 303 Miscellaneous Notes and Observations
"The Travels of Grosseus... It's been a long time."
Chael's fingers traced the surface of the dark brown cover; he had no curiosity about the City of Miracles.
"At his current level, this kind of hideout is probably only of some ornamental value." According to the early settings of this world, an ordinary angel could easily discover the City of Miracles if he got his hands on this book, as it is a relatively open place.
We welcome all outsiders.
"We found this in a shipwreck on the seabed. It had been submerged for about 165 years and still showed no signs of damage."
Edwina first introduced the origin of the story, and then continued, "It contains a tale of a giant named Grosser who decided to hunt down the Lich King of the Northern Kingdom. Grosser was a powerful undead creature who could awaken the dead as spirits to fight for him. Along the way, he encountered many companions: female elves, devout ascetics, vampire viscounts, nobles of the Solomon Empire, soldiers of the Rune Kingdom..."
"The story abruptly stopped just as they, with the help of both elves and humans, bypassed a massive undead army and were about to defeat the Lich King," and the rest of the story became inaccessible. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?"
A rare glimmer of expectation appeared in Edwina's usually rational eyes. She had been studying this travelogue for a long time, but hadn't gained much from it.
Because of this travelogue, I'm waiting for the footman... Chael flipped through the travelogue's stories, complaining about how lazy he was. If he remembered correctly, when he first got this book, the story he wrote was about the destruction of human civilization and the newly introduced war between elves and dragons.
At that time, in order to deal with the negative personality of the Dreamer, elves were introduced into the story to kill the dragon and dismantle the anchor of the Dreamer's negative personality. Later, during the stabilization phase, the two sides were allowed to devour each other. It was relatively safe for Storm and Dreamer to eat each other. As a result, some human NPCs who survived the previous storyline also had dragon blood in their bodies, and then the undead calamity occurred.
"way?"
"Didn't the blood oath ritual frequently appear in those early works of popular fiction published by Emperor Russell?"
"Would you like to give it a try?"
Chael put the book back on the table and said casually.
"You know about this kind of thing? Then you should also know that no one has written anything like this since Emperor Roselle."
Edwina recalled the saying "Don't underestimate a young man's potential, for fortunes change every thirty years" from her childhood, and felt a pang of nostalgia for that time. However, she had no intention of taking Xia'er's suggestion into account. In the mystical world, blood could be used as a medium for curses, and she wouldn't be so careless.
"The characters in this book are quite diverse. Although it's a fictional story, it includes nobles from the Solomon Empire and soldiers from the Kingdom of Rune. Don't you find that strange?"
Will nobles from the Solomon Empire and soldiers from the Kingdom of Rune appear in the same story?
Chaer admired the other collections, such as the ancient gold coins displayed in the picture frame. These came in two styles: one was dark gold, seemingly pieced together from two semicircles of different sizes, very asymmetrical, with a pointed crown engraved on the surface; the other was white gold, engraved with different numbers, and had a magnificent scepter on the reverse.
"I've also considered this issue. Normal stories are rarely written this way. It might not have been completed in one period, but rather written by different people at different times. I suspected that it might control the holder to complete the later story, but I've had it for so long and haven't been affected."
Edwina offered her thoughts, her gaze towards Grosser's Travels still tinged with regret. If the notebook had revealed something extraordinary and tried to influence her, she might have been able to better understand its secrets, instead of being at a loss as she was now.
It seems you're quite unwilling to accept this, you literary girl.
"Secrets will always be revealed one day."
"Edwina Edwards didn't solve it, and other Edwards will continue to hold this book in the future."
"If the contents of Edwards remain unchanged for dozens of years, then selling it as an antique would be a good option."
The concept of "immortal beings" is like this: everything will leave its mark in the face of time.
Chael continued admiring the other artifacts, paying little attention to the key to the Giants' Court.
He can go to the Giants' Court without a key; let whoever wants to buy it buy it.
Edwina pursed her lips when she heard "dozens of Edwards".
Although Xia Er was right, she didn't really want to respond until she saw Xia Er choose a rather ordinary-looking red and white ball from among the collection.
"Can I have this?"
Chael weighed it in his hand, feeling slightly tempted.
"Yes, but its effects might be..."
Edwina recognized the object; it had been found on a shipwreck from the Fourth Age. Its material had undergone a special process that allowed it to contain some weak spirits. It was mentioned in some of the scriptures within the Church of Knowledge, but its practical value was not high; it was a product that had been phased out by history.
This is not because later generations have invented better things, but because this thing was originally designed for ordinary people who have not embarked on the extraordinary path or are in a low-level position.
Its characteristics are that it is easy to operate, inexpensive, portable, and easy to popularize. However, in the current era, the extraordinary and the real are separated. Those extraordinary people who have access to the path of the extraordinary have alternatives, and wild extraordinary people explore on their own. Ordinary people cannot come into contact with the mystery. This product of the old era has naturally been eliminated.
The raw materials for this product are probably extinct, and its low cost is based on long-term interaction between the spirit world and reality.
"This look is quite appealing."
"And the style doesn't quite match your collection room."
As he spoke, Xia Er put away the red and white orbs in his hand. In this era, there were indeed few opportunities to use the red and white orbs. Those that could roam in the city were basically harmless natural spirits, which ordinary people could not see at all, let alone try to capture.
"You seem quite familiar with this kind of thing?"
Edwina walked over and asked.
"I've read in some casual books that, supposedly, in the Fourth Age, nature spirits were sold by weight."
"I'm trying not to laugh," said Xia'er.
"Have you really seen similar records?"
"I've read in some documents that some village watchmen would catch the dead at night."
"At the time, I thought it was just acting."
Edwina was taken aback, recalling the many fragmented records she had read about the Fourth Age.
The historical records within the Church of Knowledge are relatively systematic, but they mainly record major historical events and the past glory and splendor of the upper-class nobles. However, there are not many records about the specific living conditions of the lower classes at that time.
