Chapter 101: "Scott's Shield"

After everyone had breakfast, I don't know if it was a delusion, Chris always felt that other people's eyes were strange.

The captain led everyone to worship in two of his own carriages, and the group worshipped at the Church of the God of Machines and Wisdom in the South District.

The coachmen they hired lived nearby, and they were two old men who didn't have a job.

James gave a weekly salary of 8 Halso, which is not too much, but not much less. After all, they don't have many opportunities to use the carriage every week, except for group activities.

This is also the first time that Chris, Bert, and Bonnie have gone to church in a bright light since becoming extraordinary.

I used to be wild and extraordinary, and I didn't dare.

After all the congregants stood and sang the hymn to the Creator, Evangelist Alec Turner began to explain some of the glorious deeds of the God of Machines and Wisdom and what to look out for in the new week.

At the end of the sermon, which lasted more than an hour, James led the crowd to the back of the church to greet today's evangelist.

"Hey, Alec, that's a good point. ”

"Thanks, you've added to your squad?" Alec asked, looking at the three new faces behind him.

"Yes, today I brought them to familiarize themselves with it, and I went to collect a prize by the way. ”

James was referring to a magical item that Wardhouse had promised earlier.

"Oh, that's a day to celebrate. As he spoke, Alec tapped four times on his chest, "Praise the god of machines and intelligence!"

"Praise the gods of machines and intelligence!" said the members of the Extraordinary Squad in unison.

Then James led the group to the small separate building at the back of the church and into the basement.

After descending the long staircase, Chris saw an old man sitting on a chair at the top of the staircase, drinking a beer with sleepy eyes.

This is the storekeeper Bogus Baker, the man who guards the magical items and some of the seals here.

"Mr. Boggs Baker, we're here to claim a magical item, which was awarded by the team the other day. James said as he bent over and looked at Boggs with a smile.

"Oh, Wardhouse told me, what a good money boy. ”

Boggs put down his glass, got up lazily, glanced at everyone, and led them to the front door.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Chris only felt as if he had been looked at all over when he was glanced at by the old man.

Boggs pressed his hand to the door, words in his mouth.

Chris took the opportunity to glance around, there were several such rooms.

And at the end of the hallway, there seemed to be a huge door shrouded in black mist, and it was unknown what was stored inside.

It took three minutes for the door to open slowly.

"Alright, you go in and pick for yourself. After you've discussed it, come and talk to me. The old rule is not to touch what's inside. ”

With that, Boggs walked over to his seat again, picked up his glass, and drank.

James and his party walked through the door and skillfully picked them up.

Because except for Chris, who is here for the first time, the others have been here more or less a few times.

However, in the past, it was only an application when they encountered a difficult task, but this time they were really choosing a magical item that they could own, so they were very excited.

The three of Chris looked around, only to see that there were rows of glass cabinets here, showing items of different shapes.

"Boss, we should choose a magical item with a lot of power. Elton suggested, "to make up for our lack of combat power." ”

"But great power also means big side effects, stupid. Wayne said, rolling her eyes.

Here, Chris sees the "Silver Cross", "Grail of Radiance", and "Sanction Pistol" that his former teammates used before.

However, they are all magical items that specialize in restraining dark creatures, so they are not within the range of choices of James and others.

"I think this 'incendiary gloves' are good. ”

James's eyes lit up as he pointed to a magical fist glove-like artifact and said:

"It can increase the user's punch power by twice and can also release flames. ”

"Boss, you're the only one of us who can box. Elton exclaimed, "And we already have two Extraordinaries who can release flames." ”

He's referring to himself and Chris, so it's a repetition of extraordinary abilities, and it's not wise.

"Okay. James reluctantly looked away.

"What do you think of this mirror?" asked Bonnie, looking at a miniature golden mirror.

Wayne walked up to Bonnie and said word for word:

"'Mirror of Beauty', extraordinary ability: users can have fairer and smoother skin and youthful and beautiful appearance once a day......"

Wayne stopped reading and tapped Bonnie on the head.

"Ahh

Chris walked over to a glass case with a somewhat worn shield erected inside, and read:

"'Scott's Shield', extraordinary ability: it can form five hard shields to protect the user from dead ends.

"It can withstand fire, water, and corrosion magic attacks, and can even block the attacks of some resentful spirits and evil spirits from penetrating.

"Side effects: If the user uses it once, it will enter a 30-minute period of weakness, and the same person cannot use it more than twice in a day, otherwise it will immediately fall into a deep sleep and wake up after three days. ”

Bert, who heard the voice, came over, looked at it and said:

"This amazing item is good, not only does it have good defense, but it doesn't have many side effects. ”

So everyone walked up to the shield and looked at the instructions in detail.

"It's really good, for a small team like ours, it's completely interchangeable. Paul began.

"I'm in favor. Elton raised his hand and said, "This is much more reliable than gloves and mirrors." ”

"I'm in favor of it too. Wayne said, "In the future, we will be much less at risk of going on a mission." ”

Seeing that everyone agreed, James pondered for a few seconds and said:

"Alright then, we'll choose this 'Scott's Shield'. ”

So, Elton hurried out of the room and went to inform the administrator Boggs, who was not far away.

"I haven't said anything yet. Bonnie pouted and muttered, "Well, when I've saved up enough merit, I'll go buy the 'Mirror of the Beauty God'." ”

Chris looked at Bonnie amusedly, while Wayne on the side secretly stared at a certain mirror.

Although there are many types of magical items and extraordinary abilities, there are not many suitable for combat.

Don't look at the side effects of this "Scott's Shield" are very small, but because it is not easy to carry, it will be left until now.
