At first glance, this black brick seemed ordinary and unremarkable.
However, when he sensed it more carefully, he sensed weird waves from the inside to the outside now and then.
The waves were barely audible. If Yelia hadn't taken it out, he wouldn't have sensed it through his clothes.
Roland stared at it for a while but failed to notice anything.
Yelia simply tossed the item to him and said, "Would you like to take a look?"
Roland was stunned. Yelia had just mentioned that the item cost a lot of money and seemed rather precious. Why did he toss it to him so casually?
Noticing Roland's surprise, Yelia said with a smile, "It's just a weird magic item. It's worth some money, but it's just so-so in the eyes of Mages. Mr. Roland, it hasn't been long since you took over the Magic Tower, have it? "
"About half a year." Roland tossed the black brick in his hand.
"Then it's normal." Yelia said with a smile, "When I first took over, I still thought that gold coins were very important, but after more than a decade as the chairman, I've realized that gold coins aren't as important as gold coins. However, after a decade as the chairman, I've realized that gold coins are just a resource to buy magic materials. Our chairman is never short of money, and he'll have more and more. This magic item is rather special, but it's only worth some gold coins. "
Roland got it. Yelia told him that Mages didn't need to worry about money. The other party only treated it as a novel toy and didn't treat it as anything important.
Focusing his attention on the black brick in his hand, Roland found that the black brick was made of a strange material. At first, Roland thought that it was made of bricks, but when he held it in his hand, he found that it was very smooth, not made of rocks or mud.
It looked more like jade.
However, Roland touched it for a while and found that it wasn't jade either.
Everybody in the Celestial Empire had a few pieces of jade in their house. It was easy to tell the texture of jade by touch.
It was smooth but not brittle.
It was very elastic, or rather, tough. Roland felt that it had the texture of ivory.
Ivory was very expensive, but Schuck had an elephant tusk from Yungui that was said to be more than a hundred years old. Roland had touched it many times when he visited Schuck's house, and he felt that it was similar to the unknown black brick.
Teeth?
Such a big one?
Ivory?
Roland slightly narrowed his eyes.
The carriage continued forward and soon left the city.
Lifting the window curtain, Yelia looked at the green woods outside and said, "Dark creatures like vampires are most vulnerable during the day. Although their nests are in caves or underground, they're still affected by the darkness. Alone, I can fight them to a draw, but with you, the situation is completely different. "
Roland threw the Black Bone back to Yelia and said, "You said that vampires have a lot of wealth … Didn't you say that gold coins are not important?"
"Wealth isn't just gold coins." Yelia put on a knowing smile. "Gems can be regarded as magic materials, and vampires also have the habit of hoarding magic materials. More importantly, vampires themselves are also magic materials!"
Roland revealed a surprised and puzzled expression!
Yelia was delighted to see Lauren's expression. He said proudly, "Actually, many Mages don't know that the essence blood of vampires is a very useful catalyst that can be used in alchemical potions. Their teeth and bones can be added when forging weapons and armors, strengthening the hardness of the weapons and armors. "
Roland was surprised. "So awesome?"
"The most awesome part is their bone powder!" Yelia exclaimed in amazement. "If a vampire is killed by a powerful spell of the light class, they will turn into a pile of bone powder. The bone powder is an excellent magic material that can be very useful. It's especially useful as a catalyst for enchantment. "
Roland immediately grew interested. "An enchantment material?"
"Yes!"
… …
… …
There was a cave in a mountain about sixty kilometers away from Liguburg City.
Inside the cave, Christina, the woman in a red dress who had competed with Roland for a whole night, was standing before an old man in a black robe and a black cloak.
The old man's hair was white. Although he looked old, his demeanor and appearance gave him the air of an old handsome man.
However, his skin was rather fair, which made him look feminine.
Sitting on a rough stone chair, the old man looked down at Christina. "You haven't found the Black Bone yet?"
"Lord Bruce, those humble human beings split up. I was misled."
Bruce nodded and looked at a bat that was hanging upside down on the wall not far away from Christina. "Edmund, what's going on with you?"
The little bat let out a series of squeaking sounds, its body hanging on the stone wall swaying back and forth, appearing very excited.
After hearing that, Christina covered her mouth and chuckled.
Bruce's expression was quite weird, too. He seemed to be holding back his laughter. "A human being scattered your bats in midair. Did you run into a dragon in human form?"
"Squeak! Squeak!"
The bat swayed more violently than ever.
Bruce stood up and said slowly, "Are you sure he's a human being? Christina has been tracking him? "
At this moment, Christina frowned. "Are you talking about the one in the rock tent?"
The bat squeaked again.
Bruce looked at Christina. "Have you dealt with that man before?"
"Yes!"
Then, Christina briefly told him what happened earlier. Of course, she didn't tell him anything that wasn't necessary.
For example, she felt that the person in the rock tent had a tacit understanding with her.
The old man Bruce clapped his hands, and a few handsome men and beautiful women appeared behind him.
"You will go to Ligucheng and try to find the Black Bone first."
The few pale men and beautiful women nodded and said yes.
Then, Bruce said to Christina, "You must've remembered the smell of the man who hurt Edmund, right? Bring him to me."
Christina frowned. "Lord Bruce, I don't think I'm a match for the man who beat Edmund up."
"That's fine." Bruce clapped his hands again, and a few more handsome and beautiful men and women who were equally pale appeared next to him. "Follow Christina and listen to her command."
"Yes, sir," they replied at the same time.
Christina was expressionless, but she frowned.
On the other hand, Yelia's carriage had brought Roland to a wood.
"According to the intelligence I gathered, the two vampires should be hiding in this wood." Yelia smiled. "I spent a lot of time and money to find out where they're staying."
