Half-elf Notebook

"Click"

The lock core pressed against the lock pin as the key was turned, locking the door.

Ina pushed and pulled it a few more times worriedly. After confirming that everything was correct, she put away the key, turned around and walked towards the waiting Rick.

Rick, dressed like a traditional knight's squire, nodded calmly and walked slowly towards the street, which was not very wide but had only a few people on it in the early morning.

Maybe it’s because it’s right on the edge of the slums and people don’t go out unless there’s something to do.

At least it has become a consensus among residents of the South District not to hang around there.

The patrolling soldiers have indeed effectively curbed most of the vicious incidents, but there are still many pickpockets, thieves, and hooligans roaming between the two places.

Theft and extortion still occur from time to time - apart from the slums that are uncontrollable and uncountable, the South District is the district with the most cases in Lei Shi City.

Ina quickly caught up with Rick and walked side by side with him.

She didn't tie her hair into a ponytail, letting her silver hair fall on her shoulders and back.

In the morning light, it looks like a white veil.

"Uncle, how much do you think the information about that cave can be sold for?"

Ina asked curiously.

Last night, she searched and confirmed again that the patterns and inscriptions in the cave belonged to the magical technology of the goblins, one of the ancient races.

Although there is no book in the house that speaks the goblin language or has any books on goblin history.

However, books related to basic magic, especially alchemy and magic weaponry, contain a lot of analysis and speculation on the corresponding goblin language and goblin magic technology.

——Even in the most authoritative magic organization in the human race.

In the Magician's Association, the rumor that human alchemy and the foundation of magical technology originated from the goblins is also widely spread.

Many authors of alchemical works and famous human alchemists in the history of magic are supporters of this view.

Ina had no worries about not being able to find samples to compare with her memory.

"It's hard to say, maybe a few hundred gold coins. The magical items left behind by the goblins are always in great demand. Whether it's for historians, alchemists, magicians, or the kingdom itself, every newly unearthed goblin facility is extremely valuable."

"In their words, even if it is a piece of armor plate that has no use and has fallen from a puppet, it still has research value."

Machines that can carry hundreds of people into the sky, transport carriages and puppets equipped with magical heavy artillery and alloy armor.

Mass-produced weapons and magic items that can easily kill professionals...

Ina suddenly remembered the almost unrealistic description of goblin alchemy in the alchemy books.

The mere involvement of a large number of magic props is enough to subvert any war.

She really couldn't imagine how a group that could mass-produce magic props and possessed technology that was beyond the reach of the Fulant Kingdom could withdraw from the mainland stage and become shrouded in the dust of history.

However, she did not think deeply about this issue, or more accurately, she did not continue to delve into it.

She is not a historian. If it were not for the magician's curiosity about unknown things, Ina would not even consult books, compare materials, and learn various information about the goblin community.

At this time, Rick suddenly added:

"In fact, this is not the first time that relics have been discovered in the Fulant Kingdom."

Ina was quite surprised: "Not the first one? Uncle, have you seen it before?"

Rick's knowledge in the cave was indeed beyond her imagination.

However, Ina just instinctively thought that this was because Uncle Rick had some experience in this area and that adventurers had much more knowledge than ordinary people.

Adventurers often spend a lot of time collecting various information and rumors that are difficult to verify.

Rather, it could be said that this was the most basic job of an adventurer, and it contained a lot of knowledge and experiences outside the kingdom.

"It's my honor to have seen it."

Rick didn't try to hide it, and his expression remained calm.

"It is now under the management of the Kingdom's army, but it was discovered more than 300 years ago. Apart from the Kingdom's scholars and officers who have been on duty in that area, few people know about it now."

"Then why don't we go in and explore first? According to what you said, even if it is a war relic left over from the Gray Age, the things inside are worth...very worth studying."

"Besides, if we take away a few pieces, it won't affect the sale of intelligence."

Ina's tone was filled with regret, a regret that was almost beyond words.

"Be a human being...be a half-elf, and make a revelation to the goddess. If you have the chance, you will definitely pick the most valuable ones."

However, even though he was joking in his heart, Rick had no intention of blaming Ina at all.

It is not uncommon for adventurers to take the lion's share of the profits first and then package the information and sell it to deceive others.

In a sense, it has become a consensus in the industry.

"Because of the danger."

Lake reveals the truly important reason:

"This is why a top adventurer team needs an experienced scout."

"And for Rick, too?"

Ina asked doubtfully.

"Of course."

Rick did not hesitate at all.

"That is far more than a kingdom. It was a tribe that once spread over most of the continent."

"Well, you should know this better than me."

He paused, thinking that Ina's knowledge of history was no worse than his.

The rest of the long speech was swallowed back into the trachea, so that the more I said, the more mistakes I would make.

"In short, among the goblin weapons and ruins magic traps unearthed by the human race, there are many types that are capable of killing silver-level warriors."

"The more intact the goblin ruins are, the more dangerous they are."

"There's no guarantee that something might happen if the two of us go in, let alone bringing Mitaokel ​​and Xilia along."

Rick concluded simply.
