MTL - Dark Demon Warlock-Chapter 24 to implicate

  Chapter 24 Implications

  Although Professor Hughes didn't say it clearly, combined with the appearance of Trolpo, Art could also guess what it was.

  Mostly to see the original murals.

   The rubbing version has been studied for a week but has not made any progress. No matter whether Trolpo is willing or not, in order to solve the problem, he can only take Professor Hughes to see the original mural.

   No matter how similar the rubbing is, it will definitely be different from the original.

  Especially this scene involving sacrificial rituals.

  Professor Hughes knew that he was afraid to avoid such things, so he simply didn't talk to him.

   "Come in, get it yourself."

  Art followed Professor Hughes into the house to get the books.

   He sorted it out by himself, and he knows better than Professor Hughes.

  Although the technology in this world is relatively advanced, knowledge is monopolized by the elite. Not to mention looking up information from the Internet at any time like in his previous life, a lot of knowledge is simply out of reach of the common people, and even most people have never heard of it!

  Usually he reads at Professor Hughes, but this time because he had to go out, Professor Hughes asked him to take the book back.

  However, he also told him not to lose it or pass it on.

  Yate agreed with a serious face.

  This book is densely filled with Professor Hughes' remarks, which is more than 10 times more precious!

   Regardless of the weight of knowledge or the importance of Professor Hughes, he should take it seriously.

   "By the way, teacher, I have a key here." After Professor Hughes finished giving instructions, he took out the key from his pocket.

  Professor Hughes was attracted by the rune pattern on the key at first sight.

  After receiving the key, he observed it carefully with a focused face.

  It seems to prevent himself from talking to himself inadvertently, his lips are tightly pressed, and his slightly swollen beard proves that he is very emotional at the moment.

   After a while, he took a magnifying glass.

keep an eye on.

  Yate has gotten used to him being so focused, sitting aside and flipping through the book.

   Take a rough look first.

   "Where did it come from?" After ten minutes, Professor Hughes finally put down the magnifying glass.

   I had to admire his physique, he kept his head down for more than ten minutes so focused, and he didn't feel any discomfort at all.

   You know, he's a... well, Art doesn't know his real age either.

   It's not easy to ask, I only know that he is not young.

   "Brought from my hometown, it is said that it can open any locked treasure chest." Art has already figured out an excuse that there is no need to be perfect. With the character of Professor Hughes, he will not care about the origin of this thing.

   "Experimented?" Professor Hughes asked enthusiastically.

   "No." Art shook his head.

   "Wait for me." Professor Hughes got up and left.

   After a while, he came back with a locked bronze treasure chest.

   It’s not very big, about 18cm high and less than 30cm wide, and it’s held by him with one hand.

   "How to use it?" After putting it on the table, he picked up the key and looked at Art.

   "I don't know either, why don't you study it?" Art rubbed his nose embarrassingly.

  Professor Hughes was speechless.

  Holding the key, he was about to insert it into the keyhole, when suddenly there was another pause, and he asked, "How many keys do you have?"

   "I only have one here, but there are more in my hometown."

   "Is this one enough?"

"Um."

   After getting his consent, Professor Hughes finally started.

   There is no special effect, and the key is inserted into the keyhole in a smooth manner.

  Professor Hughes twisted slightly.

   "Click!" With a soft sound, the lock is opened.

  However, the key in Professor Hughes' hand also disappeared.

  The moment the lock was opened, it seemed to be erased from the world by an invisible force!

  Because they all happened at the same time, various emotions such as surprise, astonishment, and regret appeared on Professor Hughes' face almost at the same time.

   "Disposable?" After a while, he muttered.

   In the end, joy prevailed.

  Occasionally, during archaeology, some unopenable boxes and the like are encountered, and most of them cannot be cracked by violence. At this time, such a key can be called a magic weapon.

   "How many do you have at home?" This is the most important question.

   "I don't know, I didn't ask." Art said, "I'll ask my family to send it to me when I get back, but it may take a long time."

   "I'll buy it for 50 gold shields, how about it?" Professor Hughes offered an offer.

  Although the key has a magical effect, the premise is that there must be a treasure chest, and I don’t know the scope of application. Is it true that any treasure chest can be used.

   "Okay." At least Art is satisfied.

   It costs 50 gold shields to sell to Professor Hughes, which is equivalent to a stable sales channel.

   In addition, he can also sell it to some people who need it separately, and then it will not be at this price.

   "Teacher, please keep it secret for me." I don't want people to know that the key is coming from me.

   "I know!" Professor Hughes already knew his character, so he was not surprised by his request at all.

   It would be strange if he didn't mention this.

   "This is 50 gold shields, the money for the key just now." Professor Hughes turned around and took out a gold coupon with a face value of 50 gold shields from the room, and handed it to him.

   "I'm a little tight recently, so I won't be polite to you. Next time I will give you an extra key." Art took it with a smile.

   "No, I use the key, so I will pay for it." Professor Hughes refused to take advantage of him.

   "Teacher's atmosphere!" Art shouted.

   "Tell me a few more words." Professor Hughes, far from being reserved, let him continue with a sense of freshness.

  Art twitched the corner of his mouth.

   "That's right!" Professor Hughes suddenly straightened his expression and told him: "Some people don't want him to succeed in the matter of Trolbo. I refused here. Be careful recently."

  Art is stunned.

  He had been trying very hard to avoid this matter, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't dodge it!

   "Who? You mean they will attack me?" asked hurriedly.

   "Another nobleman may use you to coerce me." Professor Hughes explained, "If you encounter special circumstances, you can surrender directly, and your life will not be in danger."

   "What if I hurt someone by resisting?" There was a strange light in Art's eyes.

  The reason why you are so cowardly is because you don't like to let others control your own destiny!

   "Don't be brave!" Professor Hughes said with a straight face.

  A person who was obviously so cautious, but changed his temper at a critical moment.

   "Then if I get caught, will it affect you?" Art scratched his hair.

   "If I have an excuse, I can quit." Professor Hughes replied.

   "Then I will try my best not to get caught." Art said with a smile.

   "It may not necessarily implicate you, this is just my guess, but as you said, there is no big mistake in being careful." Professor Hughes comforted him.

   A few minutes later, Art left first.

   was not relieved by Professor Hughes' relief. According to Murphy's Law, if things have the possibility of going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

  Professor Hughes said that you can quit if you have an excuse, but what if Trolpo disagrees?

   Must prepare early.

   Do you want to find a place to hide for a while?

   It is better not to have a direct conflict, but he is still very weak now.
