Chapter 71: unexpected surprise"
That thing was a dark, palm-sized mini tombstone, and Barrett took it out of the space ring and held it in his palm.
The surface of the tombstone is smooth and deep, with a bit of cold that can slightly sting the palm of the hand. It wasn't marble, but it wasn't obsidian or onyx, and with Barrett's knowledge, he couldn't tell the tombstone's material.
A few lines of small characters are written on the front of the tombstone. The contents of the words are: "Little Eve: Magical New Calendar June 12, 343 - July 3, 351"
Originally, Barrett thought that this small tombstone was carried by Erlund in memory of one of his relatives or friends, but now it seems that this is not the case.
This year should be 687 years of the new magical calendar, if Barrett remembers correctly. 687 is obviously more than 300 years away from 351, so this 'little Eve' is unlikely to be a relative of Erlund. And a little girl who is only 8 or 9 years old (Barrett guessed from the name) is obviously not the ancestor of Erlund.
So this thing should have been acquired by Barrett's Nord compatriot in an adventure, and then he had an accident before he could find a buyer. And Old Will and others may not know what this thing is for, so they simply let it stay in the ring together with some other things.
Barrett made up his mind about what had happened. Since those strange words appeared, he found that his ability to analyze things (brain supplements) seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
Below the few lines of small characters on the tombstone, there is a short epitaph, with only a few words on it, and the content of the writing is also inexplicable. The content is - "Hey, don't forget to eat."
This is not a good concern and blessing for the deceased, Barrett thought to himself. Getting up from the grave to eat is obviously not a commendable thing, what's more, the undead do not need to eat.
Barrett took the tombstone in his hand and studied it again and again. Except for the special material of the tombstone, which made the palm feel a little tingly cold, he didn't find anything special.
Just when he was about to put this small tombstone into the space ring again, a very common thought emerged from his mind - since he can identify items through the [Quest Log] system, he might as well identify this small tombstone. Look, at least after knowing the material, you can sell it at a good price.
Do what he thinks, Barret rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, preparing for the second appraisal.
He felt more and more that this identification function was really powerful, and he could know some inner information of almost any item out of thin air.
And although the gods all claim to be omniscient and omnipotent, some of them are not even much stronger than the illiterate. Although robbery is a fairly technical business, it does not require extensive knowledge, and plundering the godhead is obviously a type of robbery.
Barrett closed his eyes and rested for a while. This identification function was good for everything, but it was a bit of a waste of his eyes. He didn't know what he was communicating through the gaze of his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, his eyes were fixed on the small tombstone in his hand.
The time required for this identification seems to be extraordinarily long. I don’t know how long it took. Just when Barrett couldn’t hold on to it, the parchment slowly showed the content, and the content was longer than what was identified in the past. many.
[Little Eve's mini tombstone: Maker John Die. 】
[Eve was a little girl who died of starvation more than 300 years ago. Fortunately or unfortunately, her soul did not die because of the loss of her body. On a night with the first quarter moon hanging high, the cold moonlight shone on her pale corpse through the broken window edge, and a bleak breeze blew through, making the wind chimes send out an ethereal whisper, as if for this unknown The deceased mourns. In this echoing whisper and the touch of moonlight, little Eve transformed into a most ordinary ghost.
John Dee, who specializes in necromancy, accidentally discovered little Eve who had become a ghost. In order to experiment with new alchemy effects, John Dee used a rare soul stone to create an ultra-small tombstone. Little Eve's soul is imprisoned in this tombstone. In honor of the tombstone's first occupant, John Dee named the item 'Little Eve's Mini Tombstone'. 】
[Tombstone effect: If the owner of the tombstone is mentally strong enough, he can use a spell to imprison the ghost-type undead in the tombstone (without consuming mana). Current occupancy 1/10. The tombstone can also nourish the undead slowly and avoid its demise through the negative energy of the soul stone itself. Trigger spell: Moitaklarshatku]
[Additional properties:]
[1. Eve's gaze: After the tombstone was identified, little Eve who lived in it found that you noticed her, which made her very happy. Her eyes stared at you through the blockade of the tombstone. Every July 3rd, you will permanently lose 1 point of physique to relieve little Eve's hunger.
2. The identity of the dead: Carrying the tombstone on your body will have a certain probability to eliminate the hostility of the dead to you as the living.
3. When the number of guests in the tombstone increases, the additional attributes may also increase, the effect is unknown]
[Note: The additional attributes will ignore the blockade of spatial distance and demi-planes-'abandoning and escaping, sometimes can't solve the problem'. 】
[Quest: 'Eve's Little Wish', after completing the quest, the tombstone will be transformed into a talisman. 】
[Are you accepting the mission? 】
Barrett stared blankly at the tombstone the size of a slap in his hand, with bitter smiles and helplessness in his heart. He suddenly remembered a proverb from Nord - 'It is best not to touch the things of the dead'.
The Nords respect their ancestors and the dead, and are the only human kingdom to restore burial after the fall of the magical empire. But there is no such tradition in Barrett, because he is an adventurer.
As far as adventurers are concerned, the content of the proverb is no different from farting, because more than half of the adventurers' harvest is obtained from various corpses. UU reading www.uukanshu.com If there is a corpse on the road, Barrett may be kind enough to dig a big hole so that the corpse can be buried. But before that, he would first search the corpse to see if there was anything valuable on it.
This is understandable, adventurers who don't touch corpses are not good adventurers. As the Bay of Pigs often say, "The dead tend to bring more gold."
But that Nord proverb, which is like a fart for adventurers, has finally shown its wisdom today.
What is physique? Literally, it should refer to the state of physical health, Barrett guessed. He doesn't know how much physique he has, but he believes that his physique is at least more than that of ordinary people and most adventurers.
There is not much to say about the loss of a little physique every year, but it will eventually kill him. If it is converted according to the improvement of the previous "perception", the loss of a few points of physique may make Barrett feel much worse than before.
More importantly, according to the somewhat vague statement indicated in the notes on the parchment, even throwing away or transferring this 'unfortunate' tombstone does not seem to solve the problem. According to the description of the [Mission Log], this ghost named 'Little Eve' seems to be relying on him.
Barrett thought about today's date, it seemed to be March 26th, or the 27th, it made no difference. Fortunately, there is still some time to solve the problem.
It seems that he can only accept this task, he thought.
Just as Barrett was about to accept the mission, he suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be walking towards his cabin. Barritt put the tombstone into the space ring, pressed the hilt of the sword, and looked at the door quietly.
After three heartbeats, the door of the cabin was pushed open roughly.
