Chapter 191 The Agreement, Interrogation
"And I have my own things to do, so I can't stay here for long."
"So I hope that after I leave, you can stay and take care of these miners until they recover."
"No, don't stay here. Take them away and deliver a letter for me while you're at it."
Luo Ang immediately took out paper and pen and began to write a letter.
The letter was addressed to the Scarlet Wizard.
In the letter, Loon described the situation of these miners and Corbin, as well as his contract with Corbin.
In the letter, he told the Scarlet Wizard that in the contract he signed with the Corbin Wizard, he would only mention this letter and not the miners.
If the wizard Corbin can deliver all the miners safely to Forked Ridge as agreed with Loon, then Corbin will be considered a trustworthy wizard, and the Scarlet Wizard can temporarily use him as an ally.
Although he had only been a wizard for a short time, he was still able to assist Scarlet Wizard in some ways, allowing Scarlet Wizard to avoid having to handle everything personally.
Conversely, if the Corbyn wizard didn't bring enough people and couldn't provide a reasonable explanation, it would mean that the Corbyn wizard's true nature had changed during that short journey.
If that's the case, this wizard is not trustworthy; it would be better to kill him.
Soon, Loen finished writing the letter and a simple contract. The contract included a model of a spell for interpreting the truth, which he used as the basis for invoking the truth.
After everything was prepared, the wizard Corbyn also covered his chest with life dust.
Under the effects of the life-giving dust, the wounds on his chest that had cut open his chest and abdomen were healing at a visible speed.
After signing the contract and settling the mentally challenged wizards, Loon hid in the nearby mist to meditate and prepare a temporary spell.
With everything ready, on the other side, the wizards Grell and Fallon, who were in the vine cage, also woke up from their coma and began to move.
The vines weren't far from Luo Ang, and Luo Ang could still sense the changes in the vines.
Therefore, Loon was not in a hurry to deal with Grell and Fallon, but instead focused on collecting spoils in the lair of the wizard Grell.
It's clear that the wizard Grell has been operating this nest for quite some time; the living facilities throughout the nest are very complete, and there are even special ventilation fans.
The meditation room had seven grooves specifically carved out to hold magic stone fragments, in order to aid in meditation.
Inside the groove, there was a thick layer of powder, the result of the magic stone fragments being consumed.
Luo Ang did a quick calculation.
A first-class wizard apprentice level mining slave can condense magic stone fragments at a rate of about one per month.
Meanwhile, the wizard Grell has eight mine slaves.
These mining slaves alone can bring the wizard Grell ninety-six magic stone fragments every year.
The profits are enormous!
However, although the benefits are great, it is far from enough to use magic stone fragments to enhance the efficiency of meditation. On average, one magic stone fragment is needed every day.
There are 360 days in a year, which is 360 stars.
The output of eight miners was far from enough.
Therefore, even though the wizard Grell could obtain dozens of magic stone fragments from those mining slaves every year, Loon only found twenty-two magic stone fragments in his lair.
In addition, there are some prepared occult materials.
It was made from the roots of plants found in this tomb.
At the wizard Grell, Loon inquired about the purpose of the material.
The processed material can hold a certain amount of spiritual energy.
After processing it, grind it into powder, mix it with the blood of a young girl, and then inject a certain amount of spiritual power to make a simple spiritual power potion.
The wizard only needs to take this potion to extract the spiritual energy he previously injected and use it to restore himself.
In the absence of genuine mental restoration potions, this kind of "potion that stores mental energy and then replenishes it" has quite a market among wandering wizards.
Unfortunately, this temporary potion was not certified by any school of thought, and other wandering wizards did not believe in its efficacy. Therefore, after developing the potion, Wizard Grell did not sell a single dose.
Otherwise, the number of magic stone fragments stored in his lair would definitely be more than just this.
In addition, these woody roots, as a material used in mysticism, also have some other value, though that value is difficult to calculate.
Normally, Greer would store these root materials and wait until the Silver Grey School organized a wizard gathering. Wizards from that school would trade at the gathering, as they were all very interested in this kind of material that could be produced regularly and in considerable quantities.
Listening to the words of Wizard Grell, Loon just pursed his lips, not really caring about these things.
The other wandering wizards couldn't believe the potion's effects, so how could he possibly believe Wizard Grell's words?
Not to mention the potion mentioned by Wizard Grell, even the spell model of the Soul Burning spell mentioned by Wizard Grell, Loon didn't believe it—nor did he intend to try it.
Putting himself in someone else's shoes, Luo Ang asked himself, if he were in someone else's hands and interrogated about all sorts of knowledge, he would definitely embellish his knowledge, or even deliberately use some wrong things to confuse them.
For example, in the novels I read in my previous life, when Huang Rong translated the Nine Yin Manual, she deliberately translated it incorrectly.
"Where do you hide your diary?" After getting the origin of the incomplete spell structure from the wizard Grell, Loon continued to ask after a moment.
Loen trusted the information recorded in the wizard's diary more than anything that could be forced out of him.
If what comes out of the mouth is only 30% true, then the knowledge found in a diary is at least 70% true.
Of course, if Grell and the wizard Fallon knew from the beginning that they would be killed and that their enemies would seek knowledge from his diary, and therefore laid out plans in the diary early on to mislead the enemy with false information, then Loon would accept being schemed against in this way.
To Loon's surprise, when he asked about the wizard's diary, both the wizards, Grell and Fallon, looked astonished.
They didn't even write this thing!
Many wizards in these central kingdoms, after becoming second-class wizard apprentices, gradually saw their meditation efficiency decline. At this stage, many wizards even found it difficult to maintain the habit of regular meditation, let alone write wizard diaries.
Seeing the astonishment on Loon's face, the expressions in the eyes of Wizard Grell and Wizard Fallon were even more astonished than Loon's.
