Wizard of science

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 bug is quite powerful." Fei'er tsked her lips 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, "You felt terrible when you ate the ecstasy fish before. Or was it the fish head I helped you eat? Nothing happened to it, right?"

"I……"

Li He ignored the bickering between Wei'er and Fei'er and looked at the black insect remains on the wall. His eyes narrowed slightly and he saw something inside, something similar to a spar.

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 is also called the breadcrumb stone, or the oracle crystal, or the truth crystal. It 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 is a guide." Li He said, "Just like the popular fairy tale, an abandoned child can find his way home by following the breadcrumbs scattered on the ground. This crystal will give a guide similar to breadcrumbs. The guidance of the path guides you to a place.”

"The story of the bread crumbs? Oh, I remembered it, but in the story, weren't all the bread crumbs eaten by the birds in the forest? The abandoned child couldn't find a home at all, and ended up finding a house made of candy. The house There was an evil old witch who lived there, and she arrested 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, when you hold the crystal and move it in the correct direction, the crystal will light up. If you continue to hold it in the correct direction and hold it firmly, some information reminders will appear on the crystal. "

As he spoke, Li He held the spar firmly in his hand, started walking again, adjusted it a few times, and walked in a 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, and 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 lead us to go?"

"It seems to be a city. If it's close to the sea, it should be north of us." Weier 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 royal capital of the kingdom—Lunsa.”

During the past six months, while learning languages ​​and doing research, he had read a large number of books in 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% certain." Li He pondered for a few seconds, then spoke to Wei'er and Feier, "The Count said so. Yes, her test is greater than she imagined, Baron Murphy is just a small prelude, and it is very likely that Rensa is just the beginning, it is very challenging."

"Although it is challenging, we are going to Lensa, right?" Mayfair 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.

Mayfair counted on his fingers: "To get to Lunsa, 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 Lunsa.

There are mushrooms in the limestone mountains, silver shrimps in the emerald lake, tender reeds in the blackwater swamp, and I don’t know what there is in the shadow forest, but there should be no shortage of food. We should not be hungry along the way. "

"We are indeed going to Lensa, but we won't... go like this." Li He shook his head lightly.

"Huh? Why?" Fei'er was confused, and Weier also showed a surprised expression.

…
