Slow 29.3-B chapter: Double Funeral and Gladiator
·
You handed over all four of the skeletons to the plane mage, who thanked him again and again, and quickly ran away with the white stone, ignoring the other three's obstructions or complaints.
Because there's no need to sell off,
Let's put it bluntly,
Those three people are ...... to you It's not deception, but it's pretty much the same.
Knowledge is power, and they are all sure that no one including you knows their field of expertise, so in short, grab the remains of the gods first.
In the case of doppelgangers, in order to cut off the possibility of rebellion or escape, the closer the four of them get to you, the more demented they become, and they can't disperse their actions from each other, so they can only be sent as adventurer expeditions. Until they are destroyed, they will not be able to return half of the XP they have earned to you, no different from a piggy bank with a 50 tax deduction. In all likelihood, you will struggle with four negative levels for a long time, and if you are in dire need of strength at level 14, and then smash those four doppelgangers of about level 8, you will not rise to 1444x4 in one go and more than level 20, but only to level 19. Extract the typical characteristics of goodness, evil, order, and chaos from your personality and stuff them into the four golems, so your words and deeds are far from the ontology, and of course a fifth-class marriage is impossible.
In the case of artifacts, it is definitely not enough to have four stones as the core, and you also need a lot of other rare materials that are enough to match the gods, many of which cannot be bought by money, and you will need to go to great lengths to collect, search, exchange, and even loot. Because the divine remains are the token of love of the mermaid princess, the news will spread far and wide, and the final result is that the artifact that has been worked so hard to make is targeted by countless robbers. To this day, the fact that the whereabouts of the 5-strong acid greatsword of the first generation is still unknown is the best example.
How many drops can you get out of the essence of the stone? You purse your lips and it's gone. From the moment it was proposed, the chef concluded that there was definitely some kind of side effect.
Maybe they were going to explain the pros and cons to you, but as the argument became more and more violent, they didn't mention it.
Of course
The above drawbacks are all unknown to you a long time later, so you didn't expect what the mage was hiding from you. It's hard to expose the shortcomings of other people's proposals, and in fact, the three of them don't know much about plane travel, and much of the argument doesn't reveal much - although the otaku mage can also travel on the plane, his ambition is entirely in his own nest.
"I'm looking forward to it. ”
Annette looked at the back of the plane mage moving like a rabbit and sighed, and you also nodded silently, looking forward to the future adventures of the different planes.
The otaku mage was very unhappy, and bluntly said that you are a tyrannical thing. You tell him he'll be going to patronize the business later. He was happy.
Langdon is sorry. You tell him to start the workshop later, and ask him to guide him. He was happy too.
The chef's expression was full of despair, as if he had lost millions. You tell him that there are still a lot of monsters in the underground arena to try. His expression was full of anticipation...... You never said you could eat it.
They were successfully appeased, and Samuel came in place.
After a respectful salute, Samuel invited the Lord to attend two funerals on behalf of the three Governing Bodies of the camp. "Yesterday's defensive battle guard suffered heavy losses, the captain and the lieutenant were both killed, and the guards and the soldiers of the Earl of Anyulin bravely resisted the enemy, and many people were killed. According to the etiquette, a solemn funeral should be held, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the soldiers. ”
"Is the captain and the lieutenant buried separately, or is it the guards and soldiers separated?"
"The other one is not directly related to us. Samuel replied, "Didn't there be a retired druid king before?" he came to the camp and said hello and flew out into the wilderness, and there was no news of him, and this morning there were many druids in the camp...... A lot. Only then did we know that the old druid king yesterday, uh, should it be called death or nirvana in religion? In short, he turned into a big tree and passed away. According to etiquette, he is highly respected, and we are adjacent to each other, so we should also pay respect. ”
Turned into a big tree?
It's okay to pay respects, and I'd love to see a lot of druid scenes. The priests were subject to the temple management system and rarely went on their own, and the town faction rarely had the opportunity to see large groups of druids, which was rare.
Suddenly, Annette asked, "What about Miss Hathaway?" I thought she was going to inform the Elder. ”
"She's busy. ”
"But camp work isn't her job, is it? ”
"I don't know. ”
Hathaway hadn't seen her since she saw her taken to court last night, so it stands to reason that she should be fine. Tong En hasn't come back either, how long do she plan to hide in the Fairy Wilderness?
You go to the camp in the teleportation array,
Half a ruin in front of you.
Basically the rescue and repairs were done, and the road was lined with broken stones and beams, and the damage was worse than expected. The front gate is gone, and there is a gap in the side wall, and even if it is a double thick wall, it is obviously not too strong to be made of wood. Around the corner, about 40% of the houses collapsed, but it was easy to rebuild because most of them were relatively simple wooden buildings. There was no black smoke, no corpses, no crying women and children, and the situation seemed to be under control.
Similar to the square, craftsmen are building what looks like a circular platform.
You walk outside the gap in the side wall, where many familiar faces are gathered, and more than forty graves have been dug in the ground, each with a coffin next to it. You look up into the distance, and there is no grass but scorched earth, and there are several large dirt pits, and you can vaguely see a terrifying number of corpses thrown in them, and some of them are already piled up.
The retired old bishop was holding a funeral, praying reverently with something in his mouth, and the holy warriors also bowed their heads and knelt on one knee to hold their swords and pray, and the atmosphere was solemn.
The chief of the village huddles up to you and hands you a report stating six civilian deaths, twenty of the guards, eighteen of the Earl of Anullin's infantry and two of the cavalry. About 700 of the enemy were killed, of whom only 200 were killed within the walls, and about 100 were disarmed and captured along with Clementine Walter. The corpses of those enemies are now all thrown in the pits of the battlefield.
Well, what about Hathaway? Why wasn't she at the funeral?
The female village chief pointed in the direction of the dungeon, "It was still there just now, and now I follow the elf secretary, Fiertin, the sword singers, dozens of killers from the black street, and a few former slaves of the elf clan to see the giant tree." They plan to use the giant tree that the old druid king turned into as a landmark to rebuild their home, and they are negotiating with other high-ranking druids, and it is said that the negotiations are relatively smooth. ”
...... It doesn't have much to do with Hathaway, does it?
Finding that you crossed your arms and fell into deep thought, the female village chief thought that the secretary was not around, and said that it was inconvenient to say, so she saluted and said, "If you have any instructions, please say them, and I or any spokesperson for the management agency will carry them out." ”
You pointed to the inconspicuous tear on her shirt, she was stunned, and smiled, "You are so careful." It's rude, and all the staff in the council hall haven't closed their eyes since yesterday, so they ignore the appearance. Hit by an arrow, it has been cured. ”
You ask, what happened to the raw gemstones that were delivered to the camp for processing?
The female village chief couldn't answer, so she stretched out her hand to greet Samuel.
"Yes, what do you command?" Samuel thought for a moment, but could not answer, so he immediately beckoned his men to come over, and only after listening to the whisper did he reply, "Ninety percent is ready." I'm sorry I couldn't answer it at the moment, because Miss Tong Eun has always been in charge. ”
According to Samuel, the ore you brought from the mine contained a lot of diamonds necessary for resurrection. If the bodies are well preserved, the diamonds could be used to resurrect four people.
Why is there a funeral instead of a resurrection?—this made Samuel and the village chief look at each other.
"Uh, isn't it worth it?" Samuel muttered, tilting his head, "Although it sounds cruel, isn't birth, old age, sickness and death the norm in the world? I'm a half-elf, and I've lived for more than ten years, and none of my relatives and friends around me have been resurrected, so if you ask me why I don't come back to life...... I'm sorry, but I don't know how to answer for a while. ”
The female village chief thought for a moment, "That's right, the elder will grow." First, the resurrection is too expensive, second, all resurrections need to be approved by the temple, and third, diamonds are required, not gold. The Adventurer's Guild is a very special existence, and I think you should have seen it from the fact that Julian can perform healing at will without charging for it, the Adventurer's Guild has the right to enforce the law second only to the guard, and it has the right to heal second only to the temple, not to mention the privileges such as raising dangerous monsters, so it has always been extremely sensitive to the big shots, in case there are too many people, no one can tell whether the guild is ruled by adventurers or private armies, whether the dangerous monsters raised are demons or evil spirits, and whether the hired staff are working or enjoying the nepotism of healing or resurrection privileges。 ”
It is no accident that the death of the three presidents is the end of the end. Privilege and risk go hand in hand.
You can't resurrect the captain and vice-captain of the guard who died defending the camp, because they are not adventurers. Even if you apply to the temple successfully, it would be unfair to the other guards to resurrect only the two of them, and it would be even more unfair to the soldiers of Count Anulin who fought side by side, and the resurrection of more than forty people is sky-high, and the temple will never agree to it - no matter who holds the diamond, it is also a limited non-renewable resource in this world, and should be reserved for more important people.
So in times of war, in addition to the occasional resurrection of the generals......
What are you going to do?
A, resurrect the captain of the guard. Remember, he will have two negative levels and will be weak and unable to continue to do his job.
b, resurrect the captain and vice-captain of the guard.
c, resurrect all the guards, you will most likely need the help of the black streets of the ancient city to smuggle enough diamonds, at least 500 gold per person, because the actual cost of smuggling will definitely be high. There are too many of these creeps to be healed by a negative level.
d, resurrect all the guards and the soldiers of the Earl of Anyulin, you need not only to use the Black Street of the Ancient City, but also to the assistance of the Black Street of the Bay, and in the end, it is very likely that both people and money will be lost.
Pray for them to rest in peace.
No one in history will resurrect those fallen soldiers, and not just because of a loss. But strictly speaking, you do have the ability to do that.
In the crowd, several law enforcement teams are secretly watching you. As long as you are open-minded, there will always be a way to resurrect whoever you want. No matter what you're going to do, the funeral is taking place in a solemn atmosphere, and there's no way to stop it right away.
"Did you see a circular platform on your way here?" said the female village chief in a low voice, "Under normal circumstances, a statue should be built for the martyrs who died bravely, so I made the base of the statue first, and if you don't approve it, it doesn't matter, I will send someone to tear it down." Excuse me, what kind of statue should we build for the captain of the guard who died because he was the first martyr to die defending his territory, and he has a strong weather vane significance. ”
Weathercock?
"Yes. In the future, the guards and even your army will think of this statue whenever they need to fight to the death, and then judge whether they will be taken seriously - this involves disability and retirement, the treatment of survivors, and the aftermath of the death, although no one wants to die in battle, but before the battle will more or less think about their own afterlife. ”
1. Solid gold statue, 2000 gold.
2. Gilded statue, 500 gold.
3. Pure copper statue, 200 gold.
4, stone statue, 50 gold.
5. Remove the base.
Behind you, people come one after another, some of the camp's residents, some of the artisans who are idle, and then a dozen strong, armed men come to the funeral and stand beside you. It was the captain of the guard of the bay of Five Lanes, and several strangers wearing non-standard and rudimentary armor.
Annette saluted the captain of the guard, "Thank you very much for participating. ”
"After all, they're all peers. He said to you, "I was going to tell the Elder that I found the bodies of all six of the Scorching Nights, as well as the Blood Barnacles, but when I arrived at the Guild, I heard that many guards had died here, so I came to mourn. "He put the bodies of both friend and foe in the guards.
The situation is more nuanced. He knows that Scorching Night has already quit the guild, and you can't resurrect them without permission, but he guesses that you may take the risk and find a solution. And Blood Barnacles, although the Guards don't plan to make a fuss about a dead Black Street Boss, you might be a little interested, for example, to keep it for little Kyle or something.
It's not that the Gulf Guard will rise immediately after the destruction of Polz, and now he can do very little for you, just a little heart.
Resurrecting the scorching night is more operational than resurrecting the martyrs in front of you. Let's meet later to discuss whether it is possible to resurrect them more securely...... Wait, isn't there supposed to be Hathaway's advice at this time?
"I've killed all the monsters in the underground arena. Uh, corpses too?...... Good. The captain of the guard of the bay came back to his senses, then remembered something, turned around and began to introduce several strangers around him, "They are gladiators in the underground arena, and they say that they want to express their gratitude to you in person. ”
Belch?
Although it was liberated by you, it was the first time we met. According to the introduction, these gladiators have different levels from 7 to 14 because of the different length of time they have survived.
Why do you want to be introduced by the captain of the guard to express your gratitude?
The gladiator at the head takes the others to bow down to you. Not very good at words, but after gratitude, he really has something to do.
"My companions who have a home to return to have left the bay of Five Lanes overnight, and the few of us who are left ...... Well, I hope to get you a job. As soon as he was halfway through, the gladiator at the head of the group changed his words, "We have a lot of strength to support ourselves as coolies, this guy used to be a carpenter, that guy used to be a hunter, and the big man in the back has read a lot of books and is competent for simple clerical work." ”
...... Hmm? The voice is not quite right. I thought they were here to apply for guards or adventurers. The captain of the guard is just absent, and it will be difficult for the original one to be able to do it whether he is resurrected or not.
The gladiators hated the bay of the five lanes and did not want to stay there, but they had no home to return to. Fighting and killing has become a nightmare, so I don't plan to continue fighting.
1. Promise them and say that they will take care of them, there are many job opportunities here.
2. The funeral is taking place right now, let's talk about it another day—in fact, you will find some way to coax them into combat positions such as guards, adventurers, or private soldiers.
The funeral here is coming to an end,
You'll need to leave the camp and head out into the wilderness to continue attending the druid's funeral.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly got a remote contact from the instructor in the back row: "Elder, are you almost there? There is a tricky problem on our side...... Someone is going to kill Ash who sighs the witch, and it's an official duel between the druids, and it's almost unstoppable. ”
