"Really?" Hu Tao's eyes lit up, but then he sighed, "Forget it, I know you are trying to comfort me, how could I have beaten you?"
Little Loli is still somewhat self-aware. Although her rank and strength are higher than Downton, she believes that if the two sides fight, she will definitely lose.
"Have you learned to be humble?" Downton ruffled the little Loli's hair and chuckled.
"What's our harvest? I remember that the soul energy of the devil's soul remains is much more than that of the same life." Celes looked at the devil's corpse and had already avoided it, but Hutao looked at it with interest.
This was the first time she saw a demon.
"It's indeed very high." Homer said, "It would be nice if there were more of them."
"Why are there demons here? It can't be in the plane of the abyss, right?" Downton is a bit big-headed. The demons in the abyss are definitely the most violent and cruel existences among many planes, because any life is food for them.
.
They can increase their strength by devouring flesh and brains, and their hunting characteristics make them the most unpopular existence in all planes. Once discovered, they will be annihilated with all their strength.
"It should have sneaked in through the cracks in the plane, right? No matter what, be more careful." Homer reminded, "The devil's heart is an excellent tonic, dig it out!"
"Want to eat?" Downton glanced at the corpse. He was not afraid of killing, but he still instinctively resisted the dissection.
"After special treatment, you can make potions to strengthen your body!" Homer stretched out his elemental arm and pulled Celes over, "You can do it."
Celes wanted to refuse, but she didn't dare to speak, and looked at Downton for help.
"Stop talking, there is no room for rejection. Sooner or later, Demon Anatomy will be a required course for you, why not practice it today." Homer interrupted Downton, "Looking at the size, this should be the Duke's study. There may be something good here.
, check carefully."
"Oye, let's look for the trophies!" Hutao cheered and ran out in a hurry.
The mysterious owner felt that there was a labyrinth magic circle outside the mansion, and there were various structures guarding the mansion, so all the rooms were kept as they were without being tidied up or hidden, so Downton was now advantaged.
All the famous paintings on the walls had to be taken away. As for the hanging monster specimens, although they were hero-level, they were useless because they were mummies, and Downton didn't like them, so he didn't move them.
Hu Tao circled around, then ran to the bookshelf, browsing the names on the books, "Are there any books that can increase wisdom?"
Downton looked around, walked towards the large desk, and wiped his fingers on the smooth tabletop, wiping out thick dust.
Downton did not rush to open the cabinet, but picked up the scattered parchment. Then he tragically discovered that he did not recognize the words on it at all.
"Homer, translate." Downton was depressed, thinking about learning more languages in the future.
"It's daily business, not important." The elemental arm took it, and Homer glanced at it casually for a few times. Then he put it aside, and then continued to supervise Celes, "Don't be lazy."
The Death Banshee squatted on the ground, holding a dagger and cutting her heart. Her body was tilted back, her head tilted, and her face was full of depression.
Downton pushed away the cherry wood chair and looked at the drawers on both sides of the desk, "The Duke is left-handed!"
"How do you know? He has been dead for more than three thousand years, right?" Hu Tao was stunned, but felt that Downton could not make a mistake.
"Look at the marks on the drawer handle. The left side is more worn, indicating that his left hand is his dominant hand." Downton explained casually and opened the drawer.
"Commonly used things must be placed in places that are easy to use. This is easy to deduce." Homer lamented that having a too smart apprentice like Downton would put a lot of pressure on the teacher!
"That's it!" Walnut Chicken nodded as if eating rice, then dropped the "History of the War of the Roses" in his hand, ran to Downton, and stared at him without blinking.
"What?" Downton was startled.
"Observe and then imitate." Hutao stared as wide as possible, not wanting to miss any detail, "Maybe I can be as good as you."
"You little idiot." Downton shook his head and laughed, but he didn't care about her anymore.
In the drawer, in addition to a stack of yellowed blank parchment, there was also a black pen, a monocular telescope, and two bottles containing soybean-sized pills.
"Homer, let's identify it!" As a potion master, Downton always had a strong interest in medicines. He picked one up and looked at the label on it.
Homer shot out a green light and scanned the open drawer.
"The green pill is a medicine to control blood pressure, and the other one is to increase the vitality of the heart." The elemental arm picked up the pen and handed it to Hutao, "Don't you want wisdom? Here it is!"
"Ah, this is wisdom?" Hutao was so busy that he almost dropped the pen, and then held it, not knowing why.
"Haha, do you really believe it?" Homer laughed, "It was made by the tree garden elves and imitated the Netheril magic pen. There are only a thousand of them in the world. It comes with a sober aura. Even if the user is very tired,
With it, you can continue working for a month without losing any efficiency. Note that it is non-stop!"
"What's the big deal?"
Hutao didn't care, but Downton was curious to pick it up and watch it. Having it means that high-efficiency learning can be continuously guaranteed. For elves with long lives, it is dispensable, but for humans, it is definitely an artifact.
The same existence.
"It is said that these thousand pens have been blessed by the Elf Queen and have received a magical power of destiny. Those who use them will feel handy no matter what knowledge they learn. Of course, it is just a legend." Homer added.
He told a secret story, "But one thing is certain, this pen is very expensive, each one is worth at least 100 million!"
"One hundred million?" Hutao opened his mouth, "How is that possible? It's not an epic equipment?"
Downton also showed a shocked expression. The price was really outrageous. If he sold this pen, wouldn't he be able to live a carefree life for the rest of his life?
"Don't look at me like that. Even if you pay 100 million, you will never be able to buy them. They are priceless and have no market. Every one of them is on the desks of the royal families of big countries or wealthy nobles. Even ordinary nobles can't even look at it.
There is no qualification at a glance, this pen represents the foundation."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Hu Tao didn't believe it.
"Look at the body of the pen!"
"Tree Garden?" Downton noticed there was another symbol underneath, "What is this?"
"This kind of pen is called the Golden Crown Tree Garden. The symbol is its serial number, which proves that it is genuine." Homer continued to popularize science. "It has a history of 10,000 years and is a true antique."
"Can it still be used?" Hutao didn't think that antiques should be cherished. He took the pen, took off the cap, and shook it a few times.
Little Loli's original intention was to see if there was any ink, but the amazing result was that where the pen tip scratched, thin golden lines flowed out, just like ink stains.
"This is another proof of authenticity. It can write on anything. If you make a wish, the writing will last for a long time, even if it is in the air."
"No way?" Hu Tao had never seen such a magical pen before, and was immediately stunned. Even Celes stopped cutting her heart and listened carefully.
"You can try!"
Hutao rolled his eyes and suddenly ran towards Celes, "Come on, let me write Downton on your face so that you won't be separated."
"No!" Celes was frightened and quickly covered her face. However, she forgot that her hands were stained with demon blood and smeared it all over her face. It made her retching.
"Stop making trouble." After stopping Hu Tao's nonsense, Downton continued to rummage through the drawers.
"This monocular telescope is also a good thing!" Seeing that Downton did not rush to recover the Golden Crown Tree Garden pen from Hu Tao because it was extremely valuable, Homer couldn't help but give him a high look.
Downton has the frugal habit of common people in border towns when it comes to spending, but he is very generous to his friends. It can be seen from his gift of Harley's magic stone and Barak gem that he is not a stingy man.
"Would you like to introduce me?" Hu Tao is also a heartless little loli. He casually put the pen on the table and went to get the binoculars without fear of breaking the pen.
Celes was worried about the pen rolling down.
This monocular telescope is telescopic, divided into three sections, all opened, about one and a half feet long, and the barrel is thick, but it does not appear bulky, but it gives off a sense of gravity.
"It's called the Hubble Telescope, and it's one of the most famous military forging works of the Lonely Mountain dwarves." Homer really knew everything. "This thing is classified as a military product and is a prohibited material. Except for the nine empires, other
What the state owns is bought through the black market.”
"How much does it cost?" Walnut basically measures whether an item is valuable by price.
"In Jutland's currency, one million gold marks!" Homer picked up the telescope and demonstrated how to use it. "Actually, even if the sale of this thing is not banned, those third-rate small countries cannot afford it. Even the nine major
The empire only equips them to the level of captain and above, so there is nothing we can do about it, it is too expensive."
"If it were me, I would never dare to bring this kind of thing to the battlefield. Didn't I tell the enemy clearly to come and rob me?" Downton played with the Hubble telescope and put it on his left eye to watch.
By rotating the barrel, the telescope can be reduced and enlarged. Except for the celestial body in the void, if you look horizontally, if there is no obstruction, an ant 10,000 meters away can see clearly.
"Of those famous adventure groups and mercenary groups, the leader must have one in his hand. This is a symbol of strength and safety." Homer warned, "Put it away. With it, it means you can advance in advance on the battlefield."
Discovering the enemy can give you a lot of advantages."
Hu Tao couldn't wait any longer, so he opened the second drawer and found a crossbow lying quietly inside. (To be continued...)
