Slow 34.1-K1 Chapter 2: No one believes the bizarre truth
·
The Adamantite Magic Warhammer is ready.
"Lifestealing Rune Warhammer"
This +3 one-handed hammer deals an additional Dark Damage equal to "Minor Damage", and each critical hit inflicts a negative level on the target, and grants the wielder a temporary life force equal to "Heal Minor Injuries". After 24 hours, these negative levels may become permanent. Negative levels don't work against the undead and constructors.
It shimmered with a strong necromantic magical aura, which obscured the glimmer of the runes. If you spend as long as a cast spell, you can rely on its guidance to travel through the Underground area accurately.
Because a Warhammer doesn't require a lot of dexterity, you can use it with just three fingers, which is exactly what you need most right now - a force field shield in one hand and a warhammer in the other, which can handle a variety of combat situations.
Very stocky, very reliable hammer, breaking the wind whistling with a feeling.
Annette looted a lot of rings, necklaces, wands, and wands from the Anti-Mage, and the group was quite willing to spend money on equipment, or maybe make it herself, a lot of magic items. But none of them are of the same quality as the rings you wear today—one is the "Breath of Life" of the Arcane Merchant, and the other is the "Force Field Shield" of the Ancient City Market. Each person can have up to two rings working at the same time, in fact, you are now wearing four rings, including two witch guards, but only the first two work during battle, and you rely on witch protection when resting. It's not always possible to decide which one works, but you can switch between small actions such as taking it off and putting it on, or moving the ring back and forth.
So, those rings are Annette's. She's yours, and if you prefer a new ring, you can always ask for it.
Annette wears the "Advanced Resistance Energy Damage" which can reduce 20 lightning damage, and the "Life Support" only needs to sleep for 2 hours a day without drinking water, but it will only take full effect after wearing it for a week. There are also two spare rings, "Regeneration" and "Poison Resistance". With a "Mana Pearl Necklace" around his neck, he can recall a spell that uses no more than 4 rings every day.
The "Protective Detection Necklace" is around your neck. This group of mages only intends to spy on others, but they don't intend to be watched by others at all.
There are a few dimensional bags.
A large group of miners and blacksmiths follow you to the mine, more than a hundred people are tired, dirty, and in poor health, and they desperately need to get out of here. The problem is that this walled city is a sealed cave, there is no ordinary exit at all, and the temporary teleportation array has also been destroyed, leaving only one way for spells to enter and exit.
People stopped at the fork of the tunnel and talked a lot, because seeing that the three mines that usually work are now really filled with earth and rock, and the tunnels that have been dug desperately before seem like a dream.
Melanie stands awkwardly at the end of the tunnel, looking at you. She couldn't explain why. There's no way to teleport so many people back.
"What's the situation?"
"All of them said, the sub-spirit lizard suddenly jumped down and flicked its tail and slashed at something transparent or invisible in mid-air, and all three ore veins disappeared, and two of them even ran into my exclusive half-plane, forcibly expanding the size of the space. Perhaps, only Antonio Sheen himself, or the lizard himself, can explain it. ”
Suddenly, the lizard jumps from Melanie's shoulder to the ground, slashes the latter's shadow, and then jumps back to your shoulder, falling asleep in the form of spaulders.
Its mission was accomplished.
Melanie scratched her head: "It's really a long time to live to encounter new things...... Everyone, you can now enter my shadow and teleport directly back to the basement of the Elder's territory. Her expression was as if it were written, "Please, don't ask me what's going on, I don't know." 」
So, Annette took the lead in standing on top of Melanie's shadow and slowly dived as if she were sinking into a swamp. Soon, she came out with a teleportation spell that could only be used on the same plane - "I've returned to the Labyrinth Village. 」
And so you sink into Melanie's shadow,
Arriving at an eerie half-plane, with a surreal gray-white room behind it, with no doors or windows, two mines in front of it, a few broken railroad tracks, and the pickaxes and helmets that the miners dropped in their panic.
You follow the ladder behind you, climb up to the exit of the half-plane, and appear in the basement of your realm castle. Annette stands respectfully in front of you.
The mechanism is unknown, but beneath the labyrinth camp is a narrow half-plane of Melanie's own creation, which is connected to two veins of adamantite ore, and there is another entrance and exit in Melanie's shadow for the time being. The exit of the shadow will only be temporarily opened after the sub-elf lizard slashes.
In the middle of the night, more than 100 people came out of the basement of the castle, causing quite a commotion among the guards. The newly appointed retired Tier 17 soldier wore a nightcap with a cloud pattern, and methodically instructed the guards to temporarily settle the rescued captives, and the rest would be discussed tomorrow morning.
Of course, the Earl of Anyulin, who slept in your castle, was also woken up.
And so, and so, and so and so, you told Count Anulin about Antonio Sheen, who did not change his face, but kept his beard beating up and down slightly. At this point, even if we know who the culprit is, what can we do...... Everything must always be based on the recapture of the countydom. If you can get rid of Antonio Sheen, it might make things easier, but it won't work out everything.
Returning to the West, he was imperative.
Melanie's plan to recognize people as your father is useless in the short term. You have taken in the defeated general, Count Anulin, and Anulin has helped you resist the siege of your territory, and you will soon be reconciled with him. The taciturn old man, who had become more and more senile from the loss of his son in just a few days, perhaps, he really didn't live long.
However, it has nothing to do with you.
As the miners and blacksmiths settle down, you stop and look back at your own village, which looks full of vitality under the starlight.
You've seen quite a few gathering places, too. The walls are high, the ballista cannons are on standing, the mage towers are standing, and there are new buildings under construction everywhere, and there are not many people, but you can hear the laughter of the taverns and nightclubs that are unique to the big towns, and you can see the guards patrolling the night. In terms of administrative approval level, this is a village, but in reality, it is no different from a small town with an elite population.
The gathering place is like another living creature, thriving all the time, as long as the number of qi is still there. The wound will heal on its own, and there will be occasional illness, and even the left foot may trip over the right foot. Before you know it, you've developed a habit of looking back at the territory every time you walk through the teleportation array and leave, for fear that the next time you come back, you'll change too much and you won't know each other again.
...... Is this what a normal settlement looks like?
Maybe it's not normal—the thought flashes through your mind as you catch a glimpse of the giant tree in the center of the elven home in the distance.
Back to the guild,
You'll be greeted by a sleepy-eyed Hathaway.
"Welcome back safely. Hathaway yawned with her mouth covered, waiting until midnight, just doing her duty as a secretary, "Do you have any other orders?"
hesitate
hesitate
After some further hesitation, you watch Hathaway salute slightly, take her leave, and go back to your room to rest. Annette has not forgotten for a moment that she is a lady-in-waiting, and after confirming that the ruler is gone, she follows you into the bedroom to serve and change clothes. Needless to say, of course Raumi lies in your bed and waits until you are already asleep.
You've got a pact to fulfill with the Otaku Mage, and it looks like it's late tonight, and there's no choice but to combine Raumi and Annette, the first united front to be reached in the first place.
In any case, Raumi is very happy at such times. The same is true of Annette tonight, and her heart is filled with a ......
A sense of enigma fulfillment.
·
The next morning,
The entire guild is shrouded in the dark of the "Arcane Vault" in order to prevent the Arcane Guild from prying eyes.
You wake up under Julianne's treatment.
The witch's protective ring was not entirely effective, her head was dazed and her limbs were weak, but she was soon fine under the effect of protecting against evil. People are already familiar with your routine after sleeping with Raumi, and Elizabeth grins and taunts you for your indiscretion, handing you a few dice on a tray - an easy way to check your luck - and the conclusion is that your luck is mediocre today.
in other words
As long as you make the secret elixir of the Avatar Man, the side effects of Raomi are enough to temporarily remove your protagonist aura. Her abilities and side effects are also different.
The otaku mage muttered something "Ahh I have a sense of foreboding. "Hathaway reported to you after handing over the elixir to the otaku mage.
I don't know what the otaku mage plans to do with the secret medicine. He once confessed that it was definitely illegal. You and the otaku mage are already accomplices.
Now that the kingdom's order has been issued, the Adventurers' Guild has closed down and packed up to prepare for the lonely island town called "Altar Mouth". Still, when you enter the hall, almost all the adventurers gather, and it's almost the feeling of all the actors on stage before the curtain call. But instead of a bulletin board, they surrounded the counter.
"Get out of the way, Lord Viscount is here. Elizabeth half-earnestly persuaded the people to get out of the way, half-jokingly. Many adventurers have begun to salute stiffly when they see you, even if they have never done so before - in this day and age, nobles, especially nobles higher than barons, are indeed fundamentally different from commoners. There will never be any guards of the guard team to find fault with you in the future, and the kingdom's armed forces are for the sake of the ruling class.
Cough lightly,
The other adventurers reacted to what they meant, and immediately saluted Rachel, the guy who coughed lightly. She is also a nobleman, one level lower than you, anyway, a nobleman is a nobleman.
"Get married. ”
"If you get married, the title will not be given to the man. ”
"But will be for our children. ”
"Get down on your knees and beg me!haha!"
Rachel was extremely rampant, and then Maseusley sighed, resisted on his shoulder, and walked to the dormitory, where the voice of the new baroness crying and begging for mercy lingered in the hall.
Adventurers are staring at a map on the counter. Kyle Jr.'s treasure map is 7/8 of the way through, and this morning when Ello was eating the corpse of Captain Whitefin, he stumbled upon the 7th piece from the mezzanine of his shoe. The last missing piece is the captain of the "Black Hook" that sank to the bottom of the sea, but it is also a corner of the map, which theoretically does not affect the integrity of the map. The adventurers and the staff were all guessing where the location of the treasure map, which was almost ready, was located.
You also looked,
It's basically buried in the far street of Wuxiang Bay, but it's actually very close to where you stand. But the treasure map is not a map, and there are many codes and vague signs, and if you can't get it together, you still have to guess it.
"President, the last piece of the treasure map has been asked to the merfolk to find it. Although it was a little late, it is estimated that the corpse of "Black Hook" will not be far away. The guards are also willing to help us search the burned mansion to see if any useful clues are left. Hathaway paused, slanting a glance at Rainbow Shadows, "Maybe you can find the dust of the map." ”
The redhead laughed awkwardly. That's right, she burned the villa of "Black Hook" too thoroughly, burning and exploding.
The instructor in the front row apologized to you awkwardly: "I'm very sorry Lord, I was unconscious at that time, I didn't know who was chopping at all, and I couldn't keep the captain's body and sink to the bottom of the sea." ”
You touch the head of the instructor in the front row. She has created a miracle, it is impossible for a normal person to kill more than 200 miscellaneous soldiers alone, and her arms will be tired. You wanted to keep the apostle's abilities as secret as possible, but this apology caused several people around you to question fiercely.
Raymond seemed to hold back for a long time, and asked very quickly, "I don't have to be embarrassed to ask when I see that you are tired and sleepy." What the hell is it that one person killed more than 200 miscellaneous soldiers? I was once in the enemy's line, and until my brothers rescued me, I killed more than 80 people alone, and my arms were like lead poured into them, and I couldn't breathe. You're an instructor, how do you do that?"
"I ...... I don't remember exactly. Leaning against the corner, pick up the enemy's when the weapon is broken or blunt, keep drinking the healing bottles on their bodies, and change places if they are attacked by black powder. Like, probably, I lost consciousness when I killed more than a hundred people. ”
Tong En also asked: "Runaway, out of control, human limit, survival instinct? This doesn't explain that you, a warrior with high intelligence, rely on instinct to fight." ”
“...... I vaguely feel like a god helping. ”
Elizabeth sneered: "No kidding. Do you mean that the holy warriors should kill five or six hundred people alone? ”
Many people can't accept this exaggerated truth, especially Raymond, who has seen too many real battlefields. That wasn't something that could be done by brute force in a hurry, and he didn't believe that a warrior who didn't have a clear belief in the gods would suddenly have divine help. He was the guy who had nothing to do and counted how many pirates had died, and his face turned pale after counting.
No one believed the instructors in the front row, and the truth turned into a confusing wild history. Not even a single eyewitness. Everyone prefers to believe that there is a team of mysterious masters who happen to leap over the sea and come to their aid, but those who can fly are usually mages, and mages do not leave such traces of battle. What a mystery.
You think of yourself,
When I was a child, I saw a unicorn, but no one believed it, and finally I thought I saw a short-haired sheep.
A, declare his "apostle" ability, openly recruit loyal cronies, and help the questioned front-row instructors.
B, this curse is far more powerful than serious use, it should rot in the stomach, everyone has secrets.
