Above the mage!

Chapter 346: First-order Rune Construction

The whole room is not big, or should be called cramped and small, and the furniture is even sparse.

With just a quick glance, Gao De took in everything in the room and quickly locked onto something suspicious.

In this small room, there is a huge bucket.

This itself is unreasonable.

The function of a bucket is simply to hold water and take a bath.

But for the residents of Makoko District, neither of these two needs actually exists.

Gao De came to the bucket and gently touched the edge of the bucket with his finger. A disgusting sticky feeling came over him.

He brought his finger up to his eyes and examined it carefully, looking at the gray-black slime and confirming that it was from the rancid water salamander.

It is almost certain that this barrel once contained a large number of larval fetid salamanders.

The problem is that with such a simple environment, it is obviously impossible to cultivate a large number of aquatic animal baby.

Therefore, these young fish should have been bred outside the Makoko area and then transported to the Makoko area for "release".

After reaching a preliminary conclusion, Gao De walked out of the shed and closed the door again.

Then, he placed his hand on the door, and a gentle wave of magic slowly overflowed from his palm, gradually covering the simple padlock that was damaged by the forced entry.

Under the influence of magic, the originally broken parts inside the lock core began to return to their original positions and fit together, and the broken pins became whole again.

【Repair+】.

After the magic fluctuations dissipated, the padlock had returned to its original appearance, as if the previous damage had never existed.

Of course, all this happened in a flash and it is difficult for others to notice it.

Sharma was waiting on the side in the boat.

Gao De got on board with a calm face.

"Do you know who lived in the shack before?" he asked "casually".

There are no public lighting facilities in the Makoko area, so most people will return to their shacks in time before dark, otherwise the accident rate will be greatly increased when sailing at night.

But the shed just now was empty.

When there was a high probability that the building was already deserted, Gao Decai chose to "break in" and investigate the specific situation.

"Here," Shama tried hard to recall, but the Makoko area was so big and he didn't live nearby, so he really had no idea about it and couldn't come up with an answer.

"Master Mage, let me ask for you. I will give you an answer when you come again tomorrow?" Shama said cautiously at last.

"Then thank you for your help." Gao De nodded slightly, and at the same time, he reached into his arms and threw a silver dragon coin over.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." Shama hurriedly took the silver dragon coin, his eyes shining slightly.

Return to shore.

In the city of Lagos, it would be easy to find a coachman willing to take him here as long as he was willing to pay, but finding a carriage to go back here was a fantasy.

Gao De was not sure when he would finish his mission, so when he came in the morning, he did not make an appointment with the driver.

Not to mention, there is now a new batch of weight - those tail fins taken from stinking water salamanders as mission settlement.

So, there will be some small troubles when going back now.

Of course, they are just some minor inconveniences.

After all, Gaode is a mage.

Money can solve 99% of the problems in the world, but it can't buy love.

But magic can even manipulate love.

He first cast the [Heavy Burden Technique] on himself, tripling his load-bearing capacity.

Then he used [Wolf Speed] to greatly increase his movement speed. After picking up the bag full of tail fins of stinking water salamanders, Gode flew towards the urban area of ​​Lagos at a speed much faster than a horse-drawn carriage.

Godd, exhausted and smelly, returned to the Palm Tree Hotel.

Before entering the room, Gao De always felt as if he had forgotten something important.

He thought about it carefully, but still couldn't remember. In the end, he gave himself a [Purifying Food] to remove the stench and dust that he had been exposed to after spending a day in the Makoko District, and then he opened the door.

Goder's eyes quickly swept across the room, finally landing on Anna sitting on the bed, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The little girl was indeed very obedient and did not run around.

Anna heard the door open, and she first looked at the door with a vigilant look like a kitten, and her whole body was slightly hunched.

Afterwards, when she saw clearly that the person at the door was Gao De, her vigilant eyes suddenly turned pitiful, and she looked at Gao De with grievance and said, "Brother, I'm hungry."

Gao De slapped his head and finally remembered what he had forgotten:
No lunch arranged for Anna!

Restaurant.

The slightly greasy table was filled with four large plates of food:

Mashed cassava, grilled chicken marinated with local spices, salad made from cassava leaves mixed with onions, tomatoes and other seasonings, and palm oil soup made with palm oil as the base and added with fish, shrimp, meat and various vegetables.

Anna was eating hard.

Gao De looked at her with a hint of guilt.

Fortunately, I forced Anna to wake up and have breakfast in the morning, otherwise the little girl would have been starving all day.

Almost child abuse.

Although the little girl was very hungry, she was still very elegant when eating. She used her knife, fork and spoon to stuff food into her mouth in an orderly and large manner.

The fact that a little girl who is not even six years old can do this even when she is starving is enough to prove how well she is brought up.

"Have you finished your work, brother?" Finally, after eating about 70% full and recovering from the stress, the little girl raised her head, blinked her big eyes, and asked seriously.

"It will probably take another day to finish the work," Goder replied. Today, they have almost finished cleaning up the stinking water salamanders, and tomorrow they will focus on the magic octopus. "But because of a little accident, it may take a few more days."

He was referring to today's unexpected discovery.

However, since the building is empty, it will definitely take some time to find out who is behind it.

"But after I finish my business, I can help you find your sister first." Gao De thought for a moment and said again.

He also didn't know whether Anna's sister had received the news that she had "run away from home".

Given the advanced transportation system of the Plantagenet Dynasty, these two days were enough time for the news to arrive.

But according to Anna, her sister did not reveal what she came to Lagos City for.

So under normal circumstances, the people over there probably didn't know how to find Elsa, and naturally couldn't convey the news that Anna had "run away from home" to Elsa.

But in short, it’s not good to delay too much.

"It's okay, brother. Your own business is more important." Anna said obediently.

You are not in a hurry at all now. Gao De shrugged helplessly, unable to understand the child's way of thinking.

After eating and drinking, return to the hotel room.

It is still daily practice, and after the practice, it is the practice of runes.

And Anna, just like last night, squatted aside with great interest, watching Goder's every move.

However, today Gaode did not continue to practice the rune making technology. Instead, he took out a piece of parchment and began to draw and calculate.

Anna's words yesterday woke him up.

Now he is in the Plantagenet dynasty.

In this powerful dynasty, the materials needed to construct runes are not difficult to buy as long as you have money.

The conditions are met.

At the same time, he is also a sea sentinel mage, who often needs to go out on missions and needs the combat power bonus brought by rune constructs.

The needs are also met.

In this case, he planned to design a set of first-level rune structures tailored for himself.
