Chapter 13 Breadcrumb Stone
The bullet turned into a scarlet light and flew out of the barrel.
The black bug was knocked away and exploded directly under the force of the bullet, turning into a pile of putrid debris on the wall.
The cold invading consciousness disappeared instantly, and the bodies of Wei'er and Feier shook slightly and returned to normal.
"Li He, can this insect control people?" After Wei'er recovered, she looked at the body of the black insect and asked Li He with some palpitations.
"Yes." Li He nodded lightly, "It should have the ability to control people's minds. I suspect that Baron Murphy, who was killed just now, was controlled by him before we came. It was this bug that implanted a daughter into him. His memory allowed him to attack Blackstone Castle and gave him the ability to alienate." "
It sounds like this insect is quite powerful." Feier clicked her tongue and commented, "I just don't know how it tastes. "
Ah?" Weier looked at Feier with wide eyes, "This insect is so scary, you still want to eat it?" "
What's so scary, coward Weier." Feier rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "I ate bugs before. You also think the soul fish is scary, or the fish head I helped you eat, nothing will happen to you?" "
I..."
Li He ignored Wei'er and Fei'er's bickering, and looked at the black color on the wall. Looking at the remains of the insect, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw that there seemed to be something inside, something similar to a crystal.
He stepped closer and carefully dug it out with a folding knife, only to find that it was really a spar.
The crystal is about the size of a walnut, irregular polyhedron, and translucent, as if it is filled with mist.
Holding the spar, Li He walked a few steps in the room. A faint orange light appeared inside the spar. When he walked in another direction, the light became stronger. Changing the direction again, the light quickly dimmed, and within a few seconds it became the same as at the beginning.
"This is..." Wei'er stopped arguing with Fei'er, glanced at the thing in Li He's hand, thought for a few seconds and said, "Is this a pathfinding crystal? I seem to have seen it in the castle's book collection."
" Yes, the pathfinding crystal, also called the breadcrumb stone, or the oracle crystal, or the truth crystal, is recorded in the sixth chapter of "The Notes of Moloch." Li He said.
"What's the use of the Breadcrumb Stone?" Fei'er heard the question and muttered in a low voice, "It doesn't look like it's edible..." "
It's a guide." Li He said, "Just like that rumor In the fairy tale, an abandoned child can find his way home by following the bread crumbs scattered on the ground. This crystal will give a guide similar to the bread crumb path, guiding you to a place." "Bread
crumbs The story of It was the evil old witch who caught the two children and almost cooked them and ate them." Feier said quickly, remembering things related to eating very clearly.
"Indeed." Li He did not refute, "So, the path-finding crystal is only a guide, but it is difficult to say where it will lead. Whether it can reach it depends on the efforts of the person being guided. Generally speaking, holding a
crystal When the stone moves in the right direction, the crystal will shine. If it continues to be in the correct direction and is held firmly, some information will appear on the crystal to remind you." As he spoke,
Li He held the crystal firmly in his hand, and then I walked around, adjusted a few times, and headed in a completely new direction.
The inside of the spar brightened, dazzling light shot out, and an illusory image appeared in the living room.
At the beginning of the image, a large mountain covered with gray stones appeared, and then it moved quickly to a mirror-like turquoise lake. Through the lake was a black swamp, and then a forest.
The final image passes through the forest and a bustling city appears.
The city is located at the end of the forest, facing the blue sea. There was a constant flow of horse-drawn carriages on the roads outside the city, and the ships in the port were densely packed. A large amount of supplies were taken in and out, making it an extremely busy scene.
The image moved forward and I saw it more clearly.
Towering city walls, beautifully carved city gates, wide stone-paved streets, numerous stone towers and bell towers, bustling crowds... Finally, the
image reaches a small square with a fountain, and then slowly dissipates.
After reading it, Feier scratched her head and asked in confusion, "Where does this direct us to go?"
"It seems to be a city. If it is close to the sea, it should be north of us." Wei'er frowned and thought. She had barely left Blackstone Castle and could only make simple inferences, not completely knowing where it was.
"It's Lensa." Li He gave the final answer, "The first mountain that appeared was the Gray Rock Mountain, then the Emerald Lake, then the Blackwater Swamp, and finally through the Shadow Forest we arrived at Fornarensa. The capital of the kingdom - Lunsa."
In the past six months, while learning the language and doing research, he had read a large number of books in the Blackstone Castle, and he was no stranger to some common sense.
In fact, he had been interested in Lensa ever since he learned about it.
According to records, Lunsa is not only the royal capital of the Kingdom of Fornarensa, but also the most important transportation hub of several nearby kingdoms.
Businessmen from all over the world gathered in the city, bringing countless goods and rare treasures. Art and music filled the streets. In addition, it was rumored that there were many real wizards living in the city.
He had thought before that if he left Blackstone Castle to explore and understand the world, his first stop would be Lensa.
"So it's Lunsa?" After hearing Li He's words, Wei'er and Fei'er nodded in understanding.
"I guessed before that there was a 60% chance that this was all the count's test, but now I am more than 90% sure." Li He pondered for a few seconds, then spoke to Wei'er and Feier, "The count said so. Yes, her test is greater than imagined. Baron Murphy is just a small prelude. It is very likely that Lunza is just the beginning and is very challenging." "
Although it is challenging, we are going to Lunza. , right?" Feier asked.
"Yes." Li He nodded. Going to Lensa can not only check out the count's challenges, but also explore more things in this world. It's a double kill.
Faile counted on her fingers: "If we want to go to Lunza, we must first climb over the Gray Rock Mountain, then row across the Emerald Lake, then pass through the Blackwater Swamp and Shadow Forest, and finally reach Lunza. There are mushrooms on the Gray Rock Mountain
. , there are silver shrimps in the emerald lake, tender reeds in the black water swamp, and the shadow forest. I don’t know what there is, but there should be no shortage of food. We shouldn’t be hungry along the way.” “We do want to go to Lunza, but
we No... let's go like this." Li He shook his head lightly.
"Huh? Why?" Fei'er was confused, and Weier also showed a surprised expression.
