When the dust settled, Luo Luo sat on the broken door and finally saw Luo Bu on the opposite street. When their eyes met, the girl's eyes widened in shock. "You … Why are you here?"
"Is it strange for me to appear in front of my own bakery?" Rob's expression was as calm as ever, as if the broken door didn't belong to him. Archmage waved the bag in his hand and asked the girl, "Have you had dinner?"
"Huh?"
"You came just in time. I've made pigeon soup tonight. Let's talk while we eat." Rob lowered his head and crawled under the half-broken door. His calm expression made Lolo blush again.
"I, I, I … I'll go find someone to fix the door."
"Where are you going to find someone this late at night? There's some wood left from the renovation in the storeroom. Take two pieces to fix the hole first."
Archmage had done the necessary work on the attic on the top floor and the underground storeroom to ensure that the girl wouldn't accidentally see the magic materials.
Rob walked into the kitchen, put down the bag of ingredients, put on an apron, and began to fry the fish skillfully. Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, had been recovering from his injuries for the past few days, and his cooking skills had improved by leaps and bounds.
Half an hour later, Lolo repaired the broken door. Although it looked ugly, at least it no longer leaked air. Chef Rob had also prepared dinner. Fried golden codfish with rich pigeon soup, mashed potatoes, and other side dishes, which made the girl's mouth water.
In order to find out the origin of the stone as soon as possible, Lolo didn't have a proper lunch. She rushed out after stuffing a few mouthfuls of food into her mouth. Now that she was chewing on the crispy codfish, she felt incomparably happy.
Wait … Something's not right. I only brought the black stone to that guy to take a look and discuss with him about the owner of the golem. Why did it suddenly turn into a warm daily routine? This feeling … it feels like the two of us have been living together for a long time.
Luo Luo swallowed the piece of codfish in her mouth and stole a glance at the young scholar opposite her. She discovered that the latter was also looking at her, and her little heart could not help but start pounding. A moment later, Luo Bu said leisurely, "I remember I gave you a bunch of keys to this place before."
The rookie, The Brave, looked embarrassed. The last time Zhang Heng carried her back to the dormitory, he did give her a bunch of keys to the bakery. However, she kept the keys in the corner of the drawer. Lolo never thought that she would need the keys one day. God, if it weren't for the owner of the golem, she would never have taken the initiative to return to the bakery.
However, the moment the golem's owner was mentioned, Luo Luo finally remembered her purpose of coming here. She quickly put down her knife and fork, took out the small box containing the black stone, and told Luo Bu everything that happened last night, including the note that the golem left behind and the freshmen competition. Luo Luo also told Luo Bu about the reason why she went to the temple's stronghold alone without telling Luo Bu.
After that, the girl felt a lot more relaxed. When it came to secrets, the one who was most affected was the one who kept it to herself. In the past, Lolo was used to carrying everything alone, but now, she seemed to be getting used to the feeling of having someone else by her side.
Luo Bu quietly listened to the girl explain the ins and outs of the matter. He did not rush to express any opinion, but instead opened the box that stored the black stone.
"Heh, it's really this thing. It seems like that guy is really sincere this time."
"What is this? Is it very valuable? "Luo Luo asked curiously.
"Valuable? No, no. This thing can't be bought even if you have the money. " Having said that, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor picked up the black stone and glanced at it before casually throwing it back into the box. After that, Rob's expression became slightly more serious. He asked the girl, "Have you shown this thing to anyone else?"
Lolo shook her head. "No. I've been an adventurer for a long time. I have some common sense. Before I figure out the value of an item, I won't show it to anyone else. But what is this thing?"
The girl's curiosity was completely aroused. This was the first time she saw an item that made the young scholar so cautious.
"Well, actually, you don't have to be so nervous. Most of the mages don't know what this stone is. The young man paused for a moment before continuing, "But everyone is familiar with its name. This thing is the legendary Philosopher's Stone."
"Philosopher's Stone?" Luo Luo sucked in a breath of cold air. Even though she had mentally prepared herself, she was still shocked when she heard the name. The girl's face was filled with doubt. "Wait a minute, does such a thing really exist in this world?"
"Yes, the Philosopher's Stone does exist." Luo Bu's tone was very certain. This was because he had seen the other Philosopher's Stone with his own eyes. It was in the underground treasury of the Magic Association's headquarters, protected by more than a hundred magic arrays. It was one of the only three S-grade collectibles in the entire Magic Association, and it was hailed as the most incredible creation in the history of magic!
As a matter of fact, that Philosopher's Stone was the only Philosopher's Stone in the Dawn Continent that had traces of it in the past 400 years.
"There used to be two Philosopher's Stones in the underground treasure vault of the Magic Association. About 400 years ago, the association gathered six of the most famous 9th grade Supreme Magi to unravel the secret of the Philosopher's Stone. However, there was no progress, so one of the Supreme Magi suggested to cut the Philosopher's Stone in the middle."
"Eh, what happened after that?"
The young scholar shook his head. "Nothing. After the Philosopher's Stone was cut open, it turned into dust in a short time. The remaining Supreme Magi looked at each other in dismay. The association then locked the remaining Philosopher's Stone in the underground treasure vault, and no other Philosopher's Stones have appeared since then. The reason why this item is so precious is because its creator was from the era of Roland. Even with the development of modern magic, no one has been able to replicate this thing. This has always been an unsolved mystery in the magic world."
Rob pointed at the small box on the table. "So, the thing in front of you right now is probably the second Philosopher's Stone in the world."
"Hey, are you kidding me?" Lolo stammered. She knew that this black stone had a complicated origin, but she never expected it to be this complicated. The Philosopher's Stone was something that only appeared in legends, and now it was right in front of her. What was the owner of the golem thinking? Why would anyone give something of this level away?
Luo Bu raised his eyebrows and said, "Haven't you always been vexed over your own strength? Now, your chance has come. The Philosopher's Stone is a treasure that every Magician desires. Its greatest use is to strengthen a Magician's Mana and raise a Magician's rank. If you use this Philosopher's Stone well, you can directly become a Tier 3 Magician."
