On an open field with a good view outside Lamberg, Hao Ren and the rest regrouped after half a day of scouting.
There was still some time before noon, and Becky would not be here for the time being, so they exchanged information first.
Vivian had gone to the tallest spire in the town. As she expected, it was where the church was located. The Disciples of Glory were spread across three continents in this world, especially in the Kingdom of Holletta, which was the birthplace of the church. Basically, churches could be seen in any slightly larger town. Vivian, as a tourist, talked to the clergy at the church for a while. With her experience and eloquence, she managed to get some information.
"The Letta runes have been lost," Vivian said, surprising Hao Ren. "The locals call them 'ancient characters' or 'ancient heraldry'. I talked to the clergy in the church about the Letta runes and found that they did not know how to use these characters. In theory, the clergy should be the most educated people here, but they do not know, let alone the civilians."
"Lost characters?" Hao Ren found it unbelievable. "Then what we saw on the walls of the buildings in the town is..."
"A good omen," Vivian shrugged. "The spelling mistakes and irregular writing are explained because modern people do not understand the meaning and grammar of the symbols. They are just drawing on the walls according to the bits of information handed down from ancient times. Most of them are copied from ancient ruins or ancient books that no one can read. They are generally sure that it is a good sentence, so they use it accordingly. They think that these things can pray for peace and safety, just like the prayer paper under the eaves of some rural areas in China during the New Year. Now, this is all the Letta runes have been passed down. I even think that the rune heritage on Earth is more complete than here. At least the demon hunters know how to use those symbols. "
"Wait... Letta runes... Kingdom of Holletta..." Nangong Wuyue suddenly remembered something and looked like she had a sudden realization. "Oh, I heard something in a school-like place in town. There was a history class there, and it was mentioned that the Kingdom of Holletta was inherited from an ancient civilization. Could the Letta runes be left behind by that ancient civilization? The name of this country seems to have something to do with that. "
"That should be the case." Vivian nodded. "I don't want to know too much about common sense, but from the words of the clergy, I can tell that they attach great importance to the 'orthodoxy' and 'antiquity' of the Kingdom of Holletta. This country should be the oldest in the world. Considering the apocalypse, I'm afraid that the Kingdom of Holletta today is really the remnant of an ancient civilization …"
Y 'zaks suddenly interjected, "It's not necessarily a remnant. It must have just inherited something."
Hao Ren glanced at him. "What did you find out?"
"The history of the Kingdom of Holletta is more than three thousand years, far shorter than the history of the ancient apocalypse." Y'zaks laughed. "They must have inherited something from the ruins. As for the direct inheritors of the ancient civilization, it's hard to say. Forget it, these are all details. I have good news: we're not short of money now. "
As Y'zaks spoke, he took out a bulging small cloth bag from behind his back and opened it in front of Hao Ren. It was filled with all kinds of shiny coins. There were jinas, which Hao Ren recognized, light copper coins of a smaller denomination, and precious metal coins that looked quite valuable at first glance. Y'zaks laughed and said, "I don't know if I've been cheated or not, but these should be enough for a while. The fat boss seemed to be distressed when he took out the money …"
Cold sweat broke out on Hao Ren's forehead as he looked at the burly man in disbelief. "You're not robbing people, are you?!"
Of course, it was unlikely that Y'zaks was a 'good guy'. But the big bag of coins in front of him was too impactful. Other than robbing people, Hao Ren really could not think of how to earn so much money in half a day in the Otherworld without any basic social knowledge. What if the great demon still believed in the theory of 'heroes don't reject unexpected money' …
Y'zaks was not happy at all. "What kind of person do you think I am? How can I do such a thing? I got this by selling my weapon."
"Weapon?" Hao Ren was shocked.
Y'zaks removed his backpack from his back (although Hao Ren was responsible for carrying most of the luggage, the great demon still carried his own backpack out of habit) and pulled out two strange-looking short swords. "This is it."
They looked at the two strange short swords curiously. Although they were called short swords, in fact, they only had the shape of short swords. They were not made of metal, but some kind of black material that looked like stone. The whole short swords were made of this kind of stone, and there was no trace of firing or welding. A thin layer of black mist slowly floated around the blades. When Hao Ren's eyes focused on the black mist, he felt as if his spirit was involuntarily sucked in. The plain, dull, and abnormally blunt blades seemed to have some kind of magic. The longer he stared at them, the faster the black mist on the blades seemed to spin.
Nangong Wuyue curiously picked up one of the short swords, and immediately felt a wave of heat spreading from her wrist to her whole body. She was so scared that she quickly threw the strange thing on the ground.
"Could this be... the Demon Stone?!" Hao Ren looked at it for a long time, and finally vaguely recognized the material of the two swords.
"Yes, that's the stone." Y'zaks nodded. "Ever since I brought it back from England, I've been thinking about what I could do with it. After all, such a big thing takes up a lot of space in the house, and it would be a waste to throw it away. Then, it just so happened that I couldn't find a job, and I was quite free. So, I simply smashed it and made some gadgets. At first, I made two kitchen knives, but Vivian thought they were too heavy. Then, I made two shovels, but they were not as good as the ones sold in the supermarket. In the end, I could only make these short swords, thinking that we might need them when we go out. Don't underestimate me just because I'm not a professional, but I know a little about how to make demonic weapons. Don't underestimate it just because it's a stone, it's not fragile at all. After processing it with magic energy, it's much stronger and more durable than ordinary steel. I've observed the human equipment in this world, and ordinary blacksmiths will never be able to make a weapon comparable to this thing. "
Hao Ren: "... Damn! You sold a demon sword to a local?! "
"It's not that serious." Y'zaks waved his hand. "I've gotten rid of the negative energy in the stone. This thing is at most a strong enchanted weapon. I went to the weapon shop in town and said that I found a weapon that I can't use in some ruins. I want to exchange it for some money, and then I sold it for a lot of money. "
Hao Ren looked at Y'zaks in amazement. "You're quite familiar with this process?"
Y'zaks laughed. "In the past, there used to be a lot of Bravehearts who came to my turf to make trouble. I have a lot of old houses there, and I found that the human Bravehearts liked to loot those old houses and sell them outside for money. Sometimes when there were a lot of them, I could even give the city's cleaning staff a two-day break. Then I learned the process of making a fortune."
Everyone: "....."
Now Hao Ren was very curious about what Y'zaks did in his hometown! In addition to thinking of ways to improve the moral level of his compatriots, he was also responsible for being the boss of the local people to earn reputation and equipment?
In any case, the problem of travel expenses was finally solved. As for how to spend money in this world... he just had to slowly familiarize himself with the prices. At this time, Lily pulled Hao Ren's sleeve and said, "Mr. Landlord, let's eat something first."
With Lily's reminder, Hao Ren found that he was also a little hungry. He suddenly felt puzzled. "Wait a minute... Why do we have to eat here?"
"You don't say?" The MDT was still soaking in the pot to show the little mermaid, but its voice came out. "Where do you go without eating?"
"Didn't we enter the Plane of Dreams spiritually?" Hao Ren felt it was unbelievable. "Our bodies are lying down in the real world. What kind of energy do we replenish by eating?"
"Who told you that you are pure spiritual bodies in the Plane of Dreams? You are also physical here! When you enter the Plane of Dreams, it is equivalent to creating a copy of the real world here. Of course, you need to eat and sleep to maintain your activities. Of course, due to the impact of the body outside, your body consumption here will be slower. Under normal circumstances, one meal a day is enough. Lily is like this because she habitually says that she is hungry. "
Hao Ren was stunned. He vaguely felt that he seemed to be a little closer to the truth of the Plane of Dreams.
