Chapter 4: at a loss
Many people will know some unknown features on their lover's body, which may be a mole in a hidden part, a scar in a hidden part, or a small birthmark in an unspeakable place... ..
However, very few people can clearly know the exact three-dimensionality of their lover, even those "three-dimensional" have been rubbed and played with their palms...
'Iron Bride' is the name of Barrett's sword, but it was not him who took this name, but a former dwarf partner of his.
Even though the snarky dwarf wanted to laugh at him at the time, laughing at him for always keeping the sword in his hand and his concentration when wiping the blade, Barret still thought it was a good name. Yes, it is very appropriate for him and his long sword.
Barrett cherishes his 'bride' because she has been with him since he was an adult.
The 'Iron Bride' was a gift from Barrett's father when he was an adult. This sword is not a magic weapon, but an ordinary Nord-style long sword. While the blacksmith who forged it has a small reputation in town, that reputation is more for the battle axe.
But in his youth, Barritt was not as strong as he is now. At that time, he was young and weak, unable to wield the double-edged battle axe commonly used by Nords.
Barrett knew his 'bride' well, not only because they didn't spend a lot of time together, but also because of the tutoring he received in his youth.
"A good warrior knows his weapons as much as he knows his appetite." Barrett's father, Magnum Mungo, a retired Nord royal guard, used to say this to him before.
The unshaven middle-aged man would teach the young Barrett the martial arts while talking to him about the food from all over the Nord; pace.
"Be as stable as a crab when traversing, first point your toes, and then fall to the ground!" That's what Barrett's father taught him to move when he was holding hands, if you ignore the pancakes rolled in old Mungo's hands , that rigorous posture and serious eyes are very bluffing.
But then, "The best way to eat crabs is to steam them. When eating, pour a drop of plum vinegar on the orange-yellow crab paste. The taste, um..." The serious eyes turned into food Desire, regardless of the confusion on the young Barrett's face.
But no matter what, Barrett is able to live to this day, and has developed a good habit of maintaining and using weapons. Old Mungo's unique education method should be a great contribution.
Barrett has been using this sword for nearly 20 years. When he held it, he could even feel his own blood flow through the palm of his hand, flow through the entire sword, and then flow back into his body. He and the sword blended together.
He can even close his eyes and easily find his 'bride' from hundreds of the same Nord-style long swords with the light touch of his fingers.
But even so, he couldn't say the specific specifications of the sword so precisely, because that kind of 'knowing' is more of a feeling than a detailed list of data, and it is impossible to put these data in such an incredible form. show. In fact, Barrett doesn't think anyone can do that.
Except for the sorcerer.
No, even mages, even if they can write words in the air with magic ink, and keep those words hanging in the air forever, but they can't directly imprint the meaning of words they can't understand in people's minds, they can't .
Barrett actually wanted to seek some help from the almost omnipotent mages, and he really had a few good mages friends. And the location of one of the mages is only a 7-day carriage ride away from here. If you ask him, it will probably help Barrett's current situation, very likely!
But the barbarian adventurer didn't dare to do so. He was worried that he would be caught by his magician friend in the Magic Association to conduct some mysterious research that was not known to outsiders.
Most of the mages act a bit weird, and their curiosity is stronger than that of a rabbit who is in heat and has taken aphrodisiacs. Yep, that's what Barrett thinks. Rabbits may also rest due to physical problems, but the mages don't.
When adventurers are bored, they often talk about the absurd actions of mages:
Some people say that a mage they know will go to the cemetery to sing alone on the night of the full moon every month, and even some invisible 'things' applaud the mage; The mage turned the mouse into a hot-looking beauty; what's more, he swore that a mage gave himself a donkey's cock...
These seemingly absurd things are not just rumors. At least one of the wizards Barrett knows has turned his right hand into an octopus tentacle with suction cups. After using it for a few days, because the tentacle is always wet Da Da, then changed it back again.
"Never speculate on the behavior of mages, even if you are a mages yourself." This is a widely circulated proverb in the mainland, and its meaning is very telling.
If you let those weird guys know about Barrett's situation, the barbarians estimate that they are likely to open his brain, and then excitedly observe carefully to see if there is any strange mutation in it; or put his head in Go to the goblin and see if the words still appear; or pull his soul out of his body and search with magic bit by bit.
Of course, before doing these experiments, the mages would ask Barrett to sign a "voluntary" participation in the experiment.
Barrett does not understand magic, because he has no talent and cannot become a mage. He just knew that magic was magical and convenient, but more dangerous.
The barbarian adventurer closed his eyes and sighed deeply. As long as he stared at the long sword intently, it would not take long for these mysterious words to appear naturally. And when he closed his eyes, or looked away from the long sword, even for a moment, these translucent words would disappear like a cloud of smoke.
He also tried to make this line appear in front of Ray, but the girl didn't respond at all. Based on what Barrett knew about the girl, he did not think that with the girl's somewhat perverse character, after seeing such a strange thing, he could be expressionless and refrain from asking. She doesn't have that kind of shrewdness.
It seems that these strange words can only be seen by me? Barrett thought to himself.
He took out the fiery red feather from the cowhide pocket, which he didn't even know what kind of bird it was. It was found by chance in a gnoll's den during an adventure. The adventurer's unique intuition tells him that this thing should be able to sell several 'Golden Kings', no matter which country the 'king' belongs to.
Barrett took a deep breath and began to focus on the red feather.
The feathers are a little heavier than expected in the palm of the hand. The part of the feather shaft is completely transparent, and there is only a little gradient of white at the root. The whole feather reflects a metallic luster slightly in the sunlight, like molten iron flowing inside.
Time was passing little by little. After an unknown amount of time, Barrett's eyes began to dry up and become sore. He resisted the urge to blink, because doing so would make those words 'dissatisfied'. You can only stare unblinkingly, and those words may reveal the 'form'.
Barrett used his powerful willpower to control himself to stare at the feather. Finally, the strangely structured block-shaped text appeared again:
[Flame Dragon Eagle's Feather: The feather on the right wing tip of a male adult flame dragon eagle. The feather is 32.6 cm long and 5.2 cm wide, and contains a small amount of flame elements. -Beautiful appearance is used to reproduce]
Flame Dragon Eagle? Barrett had only heard of it, but had never seen such a creature, and had no idea where it would be found. At least there is no such creature in the 'Misty Forest' near the Bay of Pigs. should not.
And the last sentence that was unclear, seems to be annotating the item with some unclear meaning, but it seems to be just a simple joke.
Who or what was conveying this information to him, Barrett was at a loss.
Or is this information originally existing in this world, and something has changed in the barbarian, allowing him to observe them? Barrett was puzzled.
Just as the barbarian adventurer used this unknown change to keep trying to observe other objects, at the connection between his cervical vertebra and his head, a small dark purple lightning mark flashed away, as if it had never appeared. .
