The dark creature alliance's attack on the Tower of the Great Sage was silent on the forum. On the one hand, there were no witnesses, because Lin cleaned up everything that night and was not exposed to the small town spies who would wander around during the day. On the other hand, Lin is too lazy to 'show off' such things. It makes sense to keep a low profile and be a talented person.
Considering that he wanted to keep the loot, Lin roughly skinned all the dead into naked pigs and then cremated them together. The peeled things are temporarily piled on the top of the tower, and I will find time to sort through them one by one.
Lin did not forget his previous thoughts when studying the golden skeleton, and deliberately kept a few relatively complete corpses, as well as a few corpses suspected of being magicians, and placed them in the empty room on the second floor. The frozen magic circle and simple barrier that were used to collect the remains of the five inspectors of the Cadiz District Chapter have been set up. These arrangements have been preserved and are now just in use.
In the next few days, with the help of two assistants, the great cause of dissection and research began. Letting the two girls assist is also because the opportunity is rare, but there are not always dark elves and dwarves available to play with. If you don’t take advantage of this time to learn more and become more knowledgeable, then how long will it take?
Moreover, they are not opposed to such things. The reason why I had an emotional breakdown before was because too many people died and it was too tragic. Lying one or two on the dissecting table is similar to the feeling of hunting cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and other creatures, dismembering them and making them into dishes. Therefore, they can correct their mentality and look at all this with a learning attitude. All I can say is that the children in Lost Land have thick hearts.
In short, after the past few days of operation, Lin Youfei felt that he had gone astray and was moving towards specialization in the School of the Undead.
After doing all the tests that can be done at this stage, I also shaved off the flesh of a few relatively complete ones and made them into skeletons. If I didn't have the heart of Dr. Hannibal, I should consider how cooked the shaved meat is, or stir-fry it instead of burning it to ashes.
When things here came to an end, Lin felt that everything he saw with his eyes was still red, and his nose was full of rotten smells. His entire tense nerves had reached a limit. If you continue and don't train yourself to become a talent like Hannibal, you will be crazy. But as a former fat nerd, the chances of the latter are relatively high.
Only then was he ready to deal with the pile of stripped trophies. When he walked up to the top of the tower where the items were temporarily stacked, he immediately regretted it.
What will happen if it is covered with blood, possibly with feces and urine attached to it, and is then piled up and exposed to the sun for a few days?
poison gas! It’s definitely poisonous gas level! Just by walking to the top of the tower, Lin had the urge to set a fire and burn the piles of things.
Call two girls to help. One uses the Wind Technique to keep all three of them standing upwind to avoid the unpleasant smell as much as possible; the other uses the Fire Technique to directly incinerate worthless things. Lin put several layers of cloth on his mouth and nose, and used the fastest speed to sift through the piles of debris as high as a hill.
The most useless thing among them is the equipment of the dark elves. Many things die when exposed to light and do not turn into ashes directly under the sun. The enchantment effect will also disappear or even become brittle, as if they were cursed. So Lin thought he was getting a bunch of high-end goods produced by elves, but he didn't expect that they turned out to be junk that was worse than knockoffs.
However, a few rings have been preserved, and the flow of mana and power can be faintly felt. They should be magic jewelry, but their functions need to be identified. In addition, there are some handwritten books stained with blood, which are recorded in characters similar to those of the elves.
He said something similar because Lin also learned the language and writing of the elves. Because the source of some magical knowledge comes from the elves, in the Lost World where translation has not yet become a common practice, you can only rely on yourself if you want to read foreign languages. The book records found this time are similar in shape but incomplete. They may be some regional slang, or the dark elves may have developed their own language and writing system.
Lin was careful to retain this information. Blood stains may be difficult to clean, but there are ways to deal with the smell. The content will be discussed later.
Transforming into a werewolf fully demonstrates the characteristic of being a human slave, which is poverty. Among the pile of miscellaneous items, most were clothes made of low-grade fabrics, but several heavy weapons were preserved. It doesn't look like a high-end enchanting product, it feels like a crude iron lump. But the weight is enough, and you can get a few more kilograms of iron if you remelt it.
The gray dwarves are considered the most sincere delivery boys. All kinds of dwarven armor, shields, axes, and maces are all available. Moreover, some high-end products also have special runes in dwarven knowledge, which are not much compared to their distant relatives, the mountain dwarves.
It's a pity that all these things are damaged. As a defensive equipment, it is not difficult for Lin to imagine that in the hands of the previous owner of this armor, it was used to block several light ball attacks. Nowadays, it is extremely difficult to find a complete set. We can only pick up some relatively intact ones and keep them, and recycle the rest. I have kept all the ones with runes, so I can study them later.
The most generous ones are the vampires. The unimportant things will automatically become dust, and the remaining items that can be picked up from the dust are all high-end products. There are all kinds of gems, jewelry, weapons, and magic scrolls, and the contents are also diverse. What is strange is that there are few armors and equipment. It may be because of the recovery ability of racial talents that these self-proclaimed dark aristocrats do not like heavy armor.
After several large piles of garbage are burned to ashes, the remaining valuable things are cleaned and deodorized. The three masters and apprentices worked like this all day long and didn't stop until the evening.
To be able to act so quickly is because the working environment here is so bad. Everyone wants to end it as soon as possible, so it is inevitable that they are a little hasty. Besides, Lin didn't want to keep these things for one more day. Who knew how terrifying the smell here would be tomorrow.
After finally completing the rough classification and cleaning, the next step is the troublesome task - identification.
Identification is a university subject. In the world of Lost World, there is no miracle where an old man can touch a piece with a constitution of 2, agility of 3, and colorful glowing jewelry with just a touch of his wretched hands.
Putting aside the fact that there is no such thing as increasing physical strength or increasing agility, the effects of all magic props in the land come from only three sources: the magic array or magic runes engraved on the objects, and the magic hidden in magic stones or gems. , an item blessed or cursed through specific rituals.
In other words, the first two are essentially within the scope of magic knowledge. At the same time, just like the materials used in magic tower construction, the material of the artifact carrying magic will affect the effect. The last item is more troublesome, because sometimes the producer himself cannot guarantee the effect of the thing produced, or even whether it is effective or not.
Therefore, to identify a magic item, you need to identify it from the material itself and the texture. Sometimes you also need to know the runes unique to elves or dwarves to see the function of an item.
As for blessings and curses, there is no other way to understand their effects other than wearing them and feeling them in person. The most reliable thing at this time is intuition, whether wearing this thing is good or bad. Most of these things will eventually be given the prefix 'cursed', classified as rare objects, and then end up in someone's hands and become a collection, or the association's treasure.
This appraisal work became something that Lin would only consider in his spare time. Because it is too troublesome and the risks are not small. Who knows if there is magic in those jewelry and gems about collecting the souls of the dead, allowing the wearer to meet the grandfather in the ring. This may seem like an opportunity, but in fact there is a conspiracy behind it.
Therefore, these items awaiting identification were piled in the corner of the weapons room on the first floor after sorting. The main thing I'm currently busy with is resmelting those scraps into metal ingots.
Metal parts that can be disassembled and made of different materials are gathered together with their respective materials and re-melted.
The most troublesome thing is the metal pieces left behind by the cremated noble coalition. The mixed metals need to be separated and re-refined mostly using chemical extraction methods on Earth. Although physics and chemistry are from the same family, Lin was blinded by someone who majored in astronomy and physics and played chemistry, which basically exceeded the level of high school chemistry. Therefore, we can only make a rough separation based on the characteristic of different melting points.
This busy work lasted nearly five days. Lin didn't want to touch the pile of items left to be identified for the time being, so he assigned a task to his two young apprentices, which was to examine what type of effects those items with obvious magic patterns had.
In fact, since the two apprentices passed the first-level examination, Lin has gradually taught them the knowledge of second-level and third-level magic. Even three-ring magic, they are now able to cast it smoothly, but their proficiency needs to be improved.
Therefore, this identification task can be regarded as a simple test to test the two girls' magic knowledge. By the way, I will help Lin reduce some preparatory work in identification.
As for himself, he wanted to relax after the hard work of the past few days.
If an army faces an army, and the victorious side, the general will happily instruct his soldiers to clean the battlefield and collect loot. Otherwise, there are specialized organizations called 'corpse pickers' or 'mourners' who do this type of thing and then obediently hand over the bulk of the profits.
If the army attacks the tower, the magician can also instruct the residents living in the tower territory and under its protection to do these finishing touches. However, the group of people outside the Tower of the Great Sage are not trustworthy, so it can only be done by the hard-working loner. Well, adding two more apprentices doesn't make things any easier.
So when two groups of blind idiots came to his door in succession, Lin felt quite angry and helpless. To be honest, he would rather not have these trophies. But leaving it there without sorting it out, or just throwing it away as rubbish, is really a pity for a former fat nerd who has a collecting habit. Complaining after you have done something seems to have become an inevitable flaw in your character.
In the early morning after all these troubles came to an end, Lin had finished his night stargazing and was catching up on his sleep in bed when a special guest came to the Tower of the Great Sage. She covered herself under a large cloak. He shouted in a clear and loud voice: "Your Excellency, the Tower Master is here."
