Chapter 52 (2/2)
Angry Isaac angrily closed the spell book in his hand. When he saw the page, he was suddenly stunned, and then made a very puzzling move of Loren - jumped up and smelled it.
”What are you doing?”
”I seem to have smelled this oil stain on it. I'm very familiar with it.” Isaac murmured in a low voice, ”I definitely have, and it's just recently. Let me think about it, let me think about it...”
Suddenly, Isaac widened his eyes and slapped the table with his right hand: ”yes! It's baked meat and potato pie, baked meat and potato pie in red beard tavern!”
”Red beard tavern?”
”In the small town outside the college, mentor Dalton once took me and ain.” Isaac danced and said, ”this dish is a specialty of that pub. Even mentor Dalton can't help but have a drink occasionally!”
In other words, the other party has been near the College... Lauren's mouth has a little more imperceptible smile. Well, I finally caught the tail of these guys.
”Is that pub very famous?”
”It's not very famous. It's just a tavern. There aren't many guests, and they are basically outsiders. They just rest there, and there will be accommodation occasionally.” Isaac thought Loren was greedy: ”if you want to go, please allow me to recommend their rye wine. It's definitely worth it.”
”Thank you so much,” Lauren smiled. ”I seem to be a little hungry.”
”What the hell are you doing?”
The little wizard with his head high and eyes on his face walked directly into the library without knocking. He solemnly put the wand brought back by Loren on the table: ”I've checked it carefully, but... There may be no important clues.”
”The whole wand is mainly made of pine wood, with a little alchemy compound, which improves its sensitivity to the power of emptiness; I'm afraid it's very old, maybe second-hand; in addition, its production method is also very old, which can be said to be...”
”It's out of date?” Lauren then asked, ”isn't the older the general alchemy, the more powerful?”
”From whom did you hear that technology and techniques are always improving.” ain seemed dissatisfied with the underestimation of alchemy: ”how can old antiques in the past compare with those in the present?”
”This kind of pure wood wand is rare, but... In fact, it is not so rare. After all, not every wizard can afford a new wand.” the little wizard sipped his mouth with embarrassment: ”I'm sorry I didn't help.”
”No, no, no, you've tried your best - these are very important clues and will help.” Loren quickly comforted: ”in fact, even if it's bothering you, I'm sorry.”
”Nothing, nothing!” the little wizard suddenly lowered his head and hesitated: ”anyway, it's just... Easy...”
”In that case, can you do me a little favor?”
”Little busy?”
”I was suddenly very interested in the red beard pub outside the college.” Lauren raised his mouth slightly. ”I wonder if you could have a drink with me?”
