Chapter 998
998 Robert (1)
In the house where rabbit ears lived, there was a very hidden basement that stored some of the adventurer team’s Secret resources.
After all, there were some things that could not be seen by others.
At this moment, an oil lamp was lit in the basement. It was emitting faint black smoke, illuminating the dark basement.
Robert had changed into a neat short robe and was sitting on a chair with full concentration. He was using a special drawing pen to draw on a piece of animal skin paper.
Creating magic scrolls was a common practice for mages, but the success rate and power of the scrolls varied from person to person. The selling price of scrolls of the same type also varied.
The magic scrolls created by Orthodox mages were powerful, so they were more popular.
Robert wasn’t a pure mage. At most, he came from an unorthodox background. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have joined an adventurer team and risked his life to earn a bounty.
However, his talent in making magic scrolls was extremely high. It was just that he rarely showed it. If others knew of his ability, he would definitely be hired by the powerful and influential people of various forces and become their guest.
There was even a chance to become the Empire’s stipend and enjoy generous treatment!
However, due to some special reasons, Robert did not show his talent in this area. Instead, he chose to stay in the adventurer team.
However, in order to complete this mission, Robert finally let go of his worries and decided to take a gamble!
He first concocted some potions to calm his mind and took them. Then, he let the little bird assist him by the side while he concentrated on making magic scrolls.
From Robert’s cautious expression, it was clear that this composite magic scroll was not simple. It was simply an experimental product that Robert had invented, and no one else knew how to make it!
From Robert’s point of view, this composite scroll was actually a very impractical thing. Although it had a lot of destructive power, its structure was extremely unstable. The slightest bit of carelessness would cause it to explode.
Therefore, such composite scrolls could not be carried around at all. As a result, their value was greatly reduced. Moreover, there was a considerable risk in the production of such scrolls. If the creator was not careful during the production process, he would be injured by the scroll.
However, Robert didn’t tell anyone about this in detail. For the future of the team, he chose to shoulder the danger himself.
Robert’s expression was grave, and he was extremely cautious with every movement. Under the help of the magic ink, the pattern on the scroll began to take shape.
However, this was only one step. He would have to repeat the same steps again because every scroll was a part of this composite scroll.
It was no wonder the magic scrolls were so powerful. They were no less powerful than a bomb.
After putting the completed magic scroll aside, Robert picked up a towel and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He took a deep breath and continued working.
Just by looking at his performance, it was clear that the process of making it just now had greatly exhausted his physical strength.
The little bird acted as Robert’s assistant. Every time Robert needed an item, the little bird would quickly bring it to him and then retreat to the side to observe it in silence.
The bird bit its lip as it watched the sweat dripping from Robert’s head. It picked up a towel and wiped the sweat off Robert’s forehead when he stopped writing.
“Thank you,” he said.
Robert didn’t even raise his head. He continued to write the magic scroll as he expressed his gratitude.
Time passed by slowly. Robert was clearly getting more and more exhausted, but he did not stop.
When his body suddenly trembled, he casually grabbed another bottle of medicine and drank it.
After blowing out a breath of cold air, Robert rubbed his hands and continued working.
“Why don’t you rest for a while? if you continue like this, your body won’t be able to take it.”
The little bird could not help but advise.
“It’s okay, I can still hold on.”
As Robert was drawing the scroll, he said without raising his head, ” “This matter is a very important opportunity for our team. Whether it’s to improve our position in Holy Dragon City or the generous mission rewards, it’s worth it for us to fight for!
There’s only one chance, and I don’t want to miss it!”
As he said this, a complicated look flashed in Robert’s eyes before it disappeared.
The bird nodded and stopped trying to persuade him. It just stood quietly at the side.
After another two hours or so, Robert finally stopped and let out a long breath.
There were more than 20 magic scrolls on the table. They were half the size of ordinary magic scrolls, but the composition was more than twice as complicated!
The most crucial moment was about to arrive, and victory or defeat would be decided by this one move.
little bird, you can go out. Stay away from here. After I’m done, I’ll go out by myself.
The bird bit its lips and asked Robert, ” “What you’re going to do next, will it be very dangerous?”
Robert didn’t answer the bird’s question. Instead, he smiled softly and waved his hand weakly, signaling her to leave as soon as possible.
Seeing the determination in Robert’s eyes, the little bird knew that it would be useless no matter what it said, so it could only slowly retreat.
“You have to be careful. Don’t let anything happen to you.”
The wooden door to the basement slowly closed, and the smile on Robert’s face slowly disappeared.
Taking a deep breath, he took out another bottle of medicine and drank it. His originally dispirited spirit was restored by a lot.
In fact, this kind of continuous consumption of potions was very harmful to Robert’s body, but he couldn’t care much about it at the moment.
What he needed to do next was to take out all of these magic scrolls that could be used individually. However, they could only be considered parts of a magic scroll right now and put them together to form a powerful composite magic scroll.
A single mistake in the process could lead to a serious accident. The entire basement and Robert would be burned to ashes.
“I will definitely succeed, just wait and see!”
Robert’s eyes lit up as he picked up a scroll and slowly put it together with another.
A three-dimensional composite magic scroll began to slowly appear in his hand.
……
Outside the basement, the bird was staring at the entrance with a trace of worry in its eyes.
Even if Robert didn’t say anything, she could already guess that the creation of this composite scroll was definitely filled with danger.
However, although Robert was usually very easygoing, once he made up his mind, he would not listen to anyone’s advice.
Furthermore, he had proposed a feasible plan, so in order to complete it successfully, he would definitely put in all his effort.
Even if there was danger, he would face it alone!
Although it was not a mage, the little bird knew that the scariest thing about making magic scrolls was a magic accident caused by a sudden loss of control.
The magic scrolls created by Robert could easily kill a low-level cultivator, and there were more than 20 of them in the basement.
If there was an accident, Robert would definitely not even have a corpse left!
At the thought of this, the little bird’s heart was filled with worry. However, other than waiting patiently, she could not help at all.
As time went by, the bird’s worry grew. It wanted to open the door to the basement several times to see if Robert was safe.
However, this would definitely affect Robert’s work and might even cause danger, so after much thought, the little bird did not take action.
Just as the bird was about to open the door to check again, the tightly shut wooden door of the basement suddenly made a sound, and then it was slowly pushed open.
Robert walked out with a pale face. He looked at the worried little bird and forced a smile.
“Don’t worry, it’s a success!”
After saying that, Robert’s body went limp and he fainted on the ground.
