Harker's face sank.
If it could be described as unexpected before, then it was obvious that he was looking for trouble.
“Good, good, good! What a great Partridge family, I got it!”
Harker shot a cold glance at the young man, and did not waste any more time, squeezing out of the crowd and leaving quickly.
After Harker left, the big bird said to the young man, “Forgive me for being blunt, young man of the Partridge family. You should not do this.”
Its tone was full of dissatisfaction.
The young man sneered, “A muggle?”
His tone was full of arrogance.
The big bird said, “This is the Dark Forest. Those who can mingle here are not good people. Gray Wizards are those who are between black and white.”
“Not long ago, a noble Witch came here. She is the young lady of the Slavitt family. However, her whereabouts are still unknown. No one knows whether she is alive or dead. This is the Dark Forest. One moment of carelessness and you will fall into the Dark Forest.”
Slavitt, like Partridge, was one of the top ten families in the Western Continent. Like Partridge, Slavitt was also one of the ruling families of the Tower of Order.
“In short, you should be careful. If there is no need, you should go back to the Tower of Order as soon as possible.”
Without waiting for the young man to reply, it flapped its wings and flew away.
“Hmph!”
The young man snorted and threw a Magic Stone bag at the stall, leading the Forest Banshee to the side.
The crowd began to whisper.
“Tsk tsk, having Partridge's blood is different from being arrogant. With such arrogance, no wonder Harker was so angry!”
(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)“A newborn chick. I hope he can continue to be so arrogant.”
“Tsk tsk, this is the Dark Forest. This is the Dark Forest where there is no return. Does anyone really think that this is the end?”
On the other side, Nina, who was inside Heath's ring, also joined in the fun.
After obtaining Heath's permission, she flew out of the ring. She snorted in the direction where Harker had left. “Their ancestor Partridge was such a low-key person when he followed the Wizard King. Who would have thought that his descendants were all idiots!”
Heath glanced at the back of the young man as he left, but he did not say anything.
Everything could not be seen on the surface. When the bard was mobilizing his magic power, he noticed that the female Apprentices around the young man had spread out a little to the side. Although it was very hidden… but Heath could still see that their positions formed the position of a magic circle.
To be able to change the formation in an instant, no matter if he was arrogant or not, it meant that the other party must have a certain level of strength.
“Let's go, let's go somewhere else.”
After leaving this stall, Heath continued to walk towards the market. Along the way, he turned on the system's extraction function, extracting the goods along the street.
For a moment, the sound of dripping continued. All the extraordinary substances that could be extracted were all taken by Heath.
When they passed by a stall, Nina suddenly called out to Heath.
“Heath, wait.”
Heath stopped in his tracks. “What?”
“Buy that conch from the stall next to you.”
Heath went to the stall next to him and picked up the conch that Nina had mentioned. It was a very common Ruby Conch with red gemstone-like crystals on its threads.
These crystals had excellent magic conductivity. Wizards liked to embed them on their staffs, and this was the biggest value of the Ruby Conch.
Heath picked up the conch and looked around. He did not see anything unusual, so he could not help but ask in his heart, 'Is there anything special about this?'
Nina said, “Don't worry about it. Buy it. I won't let you suffer a loss.”
Heath did not ask any more questions after seeing that. It was not very troublesome to dig up the Ruby Conch, so the price was usually not very expensive. After asking the price, he bought it for five high-level Magic Stones.
After walking far away, Nina suddenly cried out in surprise.
“Haha, Heath, we've struck it rich!”
Heath was stunned. “You mean this conch?”
Nina extended a finger and pointed at the middle part of the conch. There were a few obvious grooves there. It was obvious that the gemstones embedded in it had been dug out.
She asked, “Don't you think it's strange? Why are there a few gemstones missing here?”
Hearing Nina's words, Heath was also a little curious.
The gemstones on the Ruby Conch were abnormally hard and completely integrated with the body. Unless some special methods were used to dig it out, it was impossible for it to fall off easily.
After careful observation, there seemed to be some cutting marks in the grooves. Obviously, someone had dug out the gems on it.
Heath asked, “This conch has been dug out of gems before?”
After thinking for a while, he asked in puzzlement, “Then why did that person only dig out a few gems and leave the rest behind?”
Carving out the Ruby Conch was a very troublesome matter. It required a lot of materials to prepare in advance. Once these materials had expired, they had to be prepared again. Therefore, when Wizards dug up the ruby conch, they would dig up all the gems on the conch in one go.
Nina said, “Because the Wizard who dug up the Ruby Conch didn't do it for the gems on the conch, but only used the conch to record something.”
Heath asked in surprise, “Record?”
Nina nodded and suddenly asked, “I see that you're quite knowledgeable. Have you heard of the people of Aramsted?”
Heath recalled for a moment, “The civilization in the sea?”
It was a civilization of the Seafolk race. Like Essos, it was also an ancient civilization in the age of the Gods. It had been magnificent for a period of time, but for some unknown reason, it perished later.
At this point, Heath suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He said in surprise, “You mean, this conch is actually a volume of records of the Archangels?”
Just like how Wizards on land liked to copy words and knowledge on sheepskin, the people of Aramsted were used to recording their civilization on various shellfish, and one of the most common was the Ruby Conch.
“I didn't think that there would be such a knowledgeable Wizard like you in such a remote place like the West Coast. What's even more rare is that you're a muggle!”
Nina clicked her tongue.
After a pause… She began to explain, “The few rubies that have been removed are actually the number of the sea conch that the people of Aramsted had given to this volume. They used the ancient Aramsted language. When translated, it was 13 boxes, 26 rows, and number 4. There must be a record of this writing!”
Heath was extremely surprised. “You also know Aramsted language?”
That thing had long been lost. Heath had searched through the entire library of Shadow Tower, but there was not a single clue.
Nina said with a hint of pride, “A little.”
Heath's interest was piqued. He quickly picked up the conch and carefully observed it. At the same time, he felt a little strange.
After all, he had just used the system to extract the conch. If there was really a secret hidden on it, the system should be able to extract it from it. Even if he did not understand Aramsted… He should at least be able to extract some fragments.
Was there really something recorded on it?
Just as Heath was surprised, Nina pointed at the threads on the conch. “There's no need to look. These threads are written in Aramaic. Let me help you take a look…”
As she spoke, she translated the contents of the conch, and Heath successfully learned the secret hidden in it….
