Chapter 124: The Explanation of Magic
"Is the mission of clearing the orcs to find Mikel's trace?" Mo Tie asked curiously.
"If you think this reason is interesting, just take it like this." Isolda said with a smile, "Don't you invite me in and sit? I have something important to tell you."
"Uh...please come in." Mo Tie moved away.
"What's important?"
Isolda sat on the chair, ignored Mo Tie's words, and took out a piece of parchment from her arms.
"Mr. Ian, please take a look at this. If you are interested, the price is easy to discuss."
Mo Tie took the paper and glanced at it, with a big head.
He could not understand very formal and well-known business documents.
"I can't read, tell me."
"Is that so? Maybe you are more familiar with the words of the elves. Then I will prepare a contract for the elves tomorrow. Now, let me briefly introduce the contents on this piece of paper."
To sum up, Isolda wants to hire Mo Tie to be her personal guard to ensure her safety in her lifetime. For the elves, human life span is very short, and Mo Tie will not refuse.
Isolda will help Mo Tie become the richest elf in the world. If you are not satisfied with this condition, you can reiterate it. Whether it is the most precious treasure in the world or the most beautiful woman, she can pay him.
"I don't know if elves are like humans, and have special hobbies for treasures and women, but please believe me, no matter what you want, I can satisfy you."
Isolda said loudly.
Mo Tie looked at her with interest, feeling that this woman really has vision and could even think of asking him to be a bodyguard.
"Your price is very good, but I have more important things to do, and it's impossible to waste time in this town."
Mo Tie still rejected her.
Isolda's eyes lit up and said, "I'm afraid you've misunderstood. My business is not just in this small town. Half of the dwarf caravans in Middle-earth are funded by me. I am the only merchant who has a hundred stores in Rohan and Gondor at the same time.
"I understand that you may be an elf who is unwilling to be restrained. I can reveal to you that my business is as far as the woodland kingdom. So it is impossible for me to tie you to this small town."
Mo Tie laughed. This woman is really very powerful, but unfortunately these are useless to him.
"Maybe I say this, you don't think it's intuitive enough. Then let me say it another way. You gave Wumow a small piece of mitral. Maybe that's your most expensive treasure. But I have a mitral armor made of pure mitral, and you can imagine its value, and this, in my collection, is just an inconspicuous piece."
Isolda said slightly proudly.
Mo Tie was a little surprised: "Mestrian armor, isn't that the masterpiece of the Moria dwarf?"
"Haha, many people think that only Moria can produce mitril silver. In fact, it is far away in Gushan, the mines there have also mined mitril silver. My treasure is an inner armor that has spread from Gushan."
Isolda explained with a smile.
Mo Tie recalls the movie that after Smaug's death, Thorin picked up a mitsilver inner armor and put it on for Bilbo. It can be seen that there should be a mitsilver mine in Gushan.
"Ms. Isolda, you are much richer than most people. There should be more choices in guarding. Why is it me?"
Mo Tie asked in confusion, what kind of ranger can't be found if this woman is so rich?
Isolda recalled: "I sent someone to see the orc underground nest you swept through. They said it was burned completely. I originally thought it was the fire you set. But there was no way to reach that level."
"so what?"
"You know magic, are you?"
Although it was a question, Isolda said with a certain expression.
"Hahaha, your imagination is really rich." Mo Tie couldn't help laughing.
He had discussed this issue with Gandalf, and was explained by Gandalf.
Gandalf said that in fact, there is no magic in this world, there is only unknown.
All the powers in this world belong to the Supreme God. He created all races and gave different characteristics to each race. Therefore, the different talents between races created the name of magic, which is actually just an asymmetry of information.
For humans, the immortality of elves is magic, but that is only the inherent characteristic of elves, just like why humans can live decades more than cats.
What you don't know is what you think is magic.
When Mo Tie asked how to learn Mo Tie's magic, Gandalf said with surprise, can a long-lived cat live longer than a human? This is bloodline and cannot be changed.
Unwilling to give in, Mo Tie continued to ask about Smaug and the Flame Demon.
Gandalf explained that Smaug was born as a fire dragon, so that was his instinct, and he would spit out fire from his birth.
Just as elves were born to be more sensitive and lighter than other races, when they said this, Gandalf hesitated. He looked at Mo Tie, who was extremely powerful in front of him, and didn't know how to continue talking.
The Flame Demon is an alchemy experiment of a god, transformed with a fallen soul, and does not fall into the category of talent.
"Just like a dwarf creates an iron sword, do dwarfs still make themselves as sharp as an iron sword? Sharp is the characteristic of a sword."
Gandalf explained the Fire Demon in one sentence.
Mo Tie almost spurted out his old blood. According to Gandalf, if you don’t do it, your father won’t do it, and you can’t blame others.
He also hopes to learn magic from Gandalf, after all, the gray-robed wizard Gandalf is one of the only five wizards in Middle-earth.
There is no chance.
However, combined with Gandalf's explanation, Mo Tie finally understood how powerful his system was. The bio editor was simply a bug-like existence.
At the same time, he also learned from Gandalf the characteristics of some elves, such as the elves are full of spirituality, can see ghosts, and have far surpassed human perception; unlimited lifespan, uninvasive diseases, and have extraordinary healing ability; excellent endurance, quick reactions, etc.
Mo Tie's reaction speed was much faster than that of the elves, not to mention his endurance, and his perception was no worse than that of the elves. He had never been injured, so he had never felt the elves' self-healing talent. After explaining it through Gandalf, he realized the power of the elves.
However, this brings up a problem. My own bio editor has only cracked a simple "elves body-shaped component". Why hasn't these small functions been cracked?
Mo Tie didn't understand this question, and Xiao Tie didn't know either.
Back in front of me, Mo Tie laughed out loud about Isolda's affirmative question.
Having money doesn't mean everything.
"No, I won't." Mo Tie said with a smile, "Magic is the power of God."
Isolda looked disbelief: "Mr. Ian, there are only two of us here..."
Mo Tie didn't want to get entangled anymore and said, "Ms. Isolda, let me tell you this. Everything in your eyes seems meaningless to me. The only thing I value is time. I have a lot of things to do, and time is far from enough. Do you think you are the God of Time?"
After saying this, he stood up and said, "It's already very late, I'm going to rest. If you don't mind, please help me close the door from outside."
Isolda was very disappointed. She had never met someone as determined as Mo Tie, or in other words, someone who asked the same as Mo Tie.
She had to admit that there was something in the world that money could not buy.
"By the way, Ms. Elaine, there are many things in the world that cannot be bought by money, such as this one."
Motie took out the suicide note written by Mikel to Isolda and handed it to her.
Of course it was the one with two pieces of paper. After all, the third piece of paper I showed for Lawrence before was forged by him.
Isolda was already stunned when she heard the name "Elaine". She took the letter from Mo Tie's hand and walked out of the door in shock.
Mo Tie put out the oil lamp and went to bed.
The next morning, when he went downstairs, he saw Lawrence and Isolda in the counter, two of whom were studying the account book.
"Good morning, Mr. Ian, breakfast is ready. Do you need to send it to your room?" Lawrence greeted enthusiastically.
Isolda smiled from the side as well.
"No need, just eat here."
After breakfast, Mo Tie packed up his things and left Sidun Hotel in the look of their farewell.
Zhuanmo is worthy of being a pure dwarf blacksmith, perfectly creating a weapon that combines swords and bows.
"This arrow is mixed with the remaining mitral, which is very hard and can withstand the maximum pulling force of your bow."
Zhuan Mo took out a silver-white arrow and handed it to Mo Tie along with the weapon.
"I believe that a qualified elf only needs an arrow."
"Haha, you're right."
Mo Tie smiled and said that for him, even if he faced Smaug, he only needed one arrow.
After saying goodbye to Zhuan Mo, he bought some ordinary arrows from the weapons store in the town. Mo Tie left here and continued his itinerary.
Three months later, after a long journey, Mo Tie finally arrived near Rivendell, or Rivendell on the map.
The entrance here is very secret and cannot be known to ordinary people.
Legend has it that Rivendell is hidden among the dangerous valleys, forests, swamps and streams, hidden and unobstructed. A white gravel path covered with moss can lead to Rivendell's valley. After entering, you will taste the fragrance of trees and the warm lights shine from the valley.
Mo Tie stood in front of a dense forest with two long silver knives, carrying Gandalf's gray backpack.
Based on the map, he had already arrived at this forest in the Mist Mountains. Will he walk in and see the gravel trail? But the dwarfs in the movie entered Rivendell from an authentic tunnel.
