Darksoul Flower, Seed of Ice, Winged Tail Grass …
Rosita looked through the magic materials listed on the list and let out a sigh of relief. Most of the things Rob wanted were relatively common. Only the first three were a bit difficult to obtain.
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor seemed to have noticed Rosita's dilemma and took the initiative to say, "If the city doesn't have them, I can write to the Sorcerer's Association and ask for them directly."
Rosita shook her head. "No, there's no need to go through so much trouble. A few months ago, we just happened to seize a batch of smuggled magic materials. They are stored in the warehouse. They just happen to have what you need. Oh, but do you want these materials to make a magic potion?"
Rob nodded. "To close the Crack of the Abyss, we first have to deal with the meat wall outside. Ordinary attacks are not very effective. I want to see if I can concoct a magic potion that can restrain it."
"Your Holiness is indeed knowledgeable." Rosita praised. However, probably because of the appearance of the new humanoid monster, the city master of Mirabar seemed to be a little worried. He promised to send the materials to the mansion where the two of them lived as soon as possible before leaving in a hurry. It seemed like he would immediately organize a full investigation of the city.
Rob wrote D'Addarion a letter in which he gave him a general account of the situation.
Before the batch of materials was delivered, the two of them had nothing to do for the time being, so they had a rare period of free time.
Lolo suggested to take a walk outside.
The morning sun rose from the other side of the canyon. The golden sunlight shone over the towering city walls and onto the morning streets.
The small vendors who got up early were already organizing their goods. In front of the fruit stall was a row of red apples. Lolo took out her money and bought two. After wiping them with the corner of her clothes, she handed one to someone.
"Rosita, actually, you did a good job." The girl buying the apples was secondary. She mainly wanted to use this opportunity to understand the current situation of the prices in Mirarre. After comparing, she found that the price of apples here was less than half of the normal market price.
This matter was not to be underestimated. It could almost be called a miracle.
The reason why the Lionheart Empire agreed to the proposal of the Temple to help the Church to seal up the matter of the Crack of the Abyss was not only because of Pope Ellwood's promise, but also because Lionheart VII was worried that if the Crack of the Abyss were to be exposed, it would cause large-scale riots among the people.
Sometimes, riots can be more destructive than the disaster itself.
Imagine if one day, humans realized that doomsday was coming and that they did not have much time left. At that time, whether it was law or morality, they would face a certain degree of collapse. Resources would become scarce, merchants would hoard, and social order might collapse. More and more ordinary people would take risks out of desperation, and some religious groups with ulterior motives might take advantage of this opportunity to spread their twisted doctrines and attract believers …
But from the looks of it, at least in Miralar, Rosita was doing a good job. Even though the city was only a hundred kilometers away from the Abyssal Rift, the mood of the residents was still relatively stable, and the prices of goods weren't too ridiculous. Although the world wasn't like it used to be, everyone was still able to survive in an orderly fashion.
Of course, this had something to do with the 90,000 imperial soldiers stationed in the city. But it was undeniable that Rosita's political skills were indeed outstanding. Perhaps this city's main force was lacking in terms of training soldiers, but she was also irreplaceable in terms of balancing the various factions and maintaining the stability of the situation. In fact, it was only now that many people realized that this city lord wasn't as friendly as he usually appeared.
It was said that on the day the news was made public, Miralar City was in chaos. Thanks to Rosita's decisiveness, she issued a series of iron-blooded policies and killed many people. Only then did many people with ulterior motives calm down.
… …
If it wasn't for the fact that the situation was critical, this city built on the cliff wall would be a good place to travel. Be it the houses in the city or the stone slabs on the ground, they were all made of rock. The people who had built this place had cleverly used the terrain of the canyon and used magic to strengthen it. After hundreds of years, Miralar was built, and even now, many of the buildings in the city were quite unique.
But the most attractive thing was still the city walls of Miralar. Usually, tourists were allowed to climb up the walls, but now that Miralar was in a state of war, military facilities like the city walls were no longer allowed to be near.
But Lolo had a special pass issued by Rosita, so she could travel freely in the city.
The two of them climbed up the stone steps and looked into the distance. Their field of vision suddenly opened up, and they could see the entire Ferdory Canyon at a glance. It was like a winding green river. Apart from the sun that was slowly rising, everything in the world was under their feet. The girl closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Someone taught me that when you're under so much pressure that you can't breathe, just find a high place, take a deep breath like this, and exhale. Then, you'll feel that there's nothing you can't solve." Lolo opened her eyes, and her brows relaxed. She turned her head and asked Rob, "How about it? Do you want to give it a try?"
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised.
"Ever since Supreme Magus Steins passed away, we haven't had a good talk about it." Lolo said, "That day when you went to Vice Chairman Abus's residence, you tried your best to act the same as before. But do you really think that you can fool me after living with you for four years?"
The girl's voice sounded intermittent in the wind.
"Hmm … I just don't want you to worry too much about it," Rob said.
"I thought we've already passed this stage." The girl shook her head.
"This time, it's a little different. I'm the protector of the human race. Although I've tried to avoid this responsibility in the past, fate has brought me back here in the end. This time, I need to do better. Besides," the future Supreme Magus Your Honor paused, and her voice was cold. "There are many people waiting for me to avenge them."
