"Yes, it's very well prepared, these materials you brought are enough to transform and upgrade your "Sea Serpent King Dagger Change" into a high-level weapon "Odyssey Sword", oh~~~ God, even the rare "Tears of the Rock Dragon" and "The Reverse Scale of the Female Fire Dragon" are there! That goes one step further, and even "Odyssey Sword Reform" can be strengthened! ”
At the arsenal shop in Huangsha Village, Red Star is having a conversation with the craftsmen here. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Maybe there are better conditions for strengthening weapons in Heat Village, but the hurried Red Star can't hold back his eagerness, and after having a new direction to explore, he goes straight to Huangsha Village.
[Sure enough, I remember correctly, with "Tears of the Rock Dragon" and "The Reverse Scale of the Female Fire Dragon", plus some ores, it can indeed strengthen "Sea Serpent King Dagger Change" to two more grades! 】
"But ......"
At this time, the craftsman of Huangsha Village showed an embarrassed expression.
"Any questions?"
Red Star asked.
"The high-level weapon 'Odyssey Sword' and its subsequent enhancement directions are all water-based weapons...... Well, water-attribute weapons are not easy to use in this desert, and in addition, if you are only strengthened to the "Odyssey Sword Reform", although there are more water-attribute weapon attributes, the length of the chopping flavor does not rise but falls. ”
As a qualified craftsman, his professionalism allows him not to hide anything from hunters when it comes to advice about equipment, and he advises Red Star.
"Is water ......?"
Red Star lowered his head thoughtfully.
[This craftsman obviously paused when he mentioned the water attribute weapon just now, he may also know about the awakening, and the hunter who has not awakened cannot give full play to the advantages of the attribute weapon at all]
Although Red Star has already heard about the awakening from the Dragonman Hunter and the Great Elder, most of the Terran Hunters are still kept in the dark, only if the Dragonman Hunter is stronger than the Terran Hunter because of the racial talent, otherwise if it is spread, it may cause chaos.
Therefore, after mentioning the water-type weapon, the craftsman suddenly changed his tune.
On the other hand, it is true that the craftsman changed his words to say that "water-type weapons are not good in this desert", and most of the monsters that inhabit the desert have a weak attribute of ice, not water.
"Okay, then I won't strengthen it for the time being, thank you for the reminder."
Hongxing, who once again felt the gap between the Awakened Hunter and the ordinary Hunter, gritted his teeth, and could only reluctantly accept the reality, and left in a lost mood.
……
Early the next morning, Red Star came to the Hunters' Guild again.
Compared with yesterday's bustle, the number of hunters present in the Hunters' Guild today is more than half, some of them haven't gotten up yet, and some have set off to hunt.
"Good morning, you're here so early!"
Hongling, who was still yawning and sleepy at the counter, saw Hongxing walking in, and quickly stood up and greeted Hongxing.
"Did you come to see the materials today?"
"Well, yes."
Seeing Hongxing nodding, Hongling let Hongxing sit in the counter as she did yesterday, and took out the information and handed it to Hongxing to read.
[I have already seen the information of these two ruins yesterday, and there is nothing I am looking for in the things excavated in these two ruins]
[Then I'll have to go find a new ruin]
To put it lightly, to find a new ruin, even if you are eight or nine percent sure that you can find a new ruin in the desert, but the process is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
[This time, I won't blindly look for it anymore, I will use scientific methods to find it!] 】
He first found the map that the black pillar had given him, and then stared at the terrain drawn on the map, imagining in his mind what these terrains would have been in the ancient and primeval periods.
[This one, it should be the river, yes, the two ruins found are also located next to the river]
The so-called ruins are actually the products left behind by the erosion of time after the abandonment of ancient cities, and even ancient cities must be built according to the rules, generally speaking, in ancient times, because of the relationship between food and transportation, most cities will be built by rivers or seas.
Therefore, if you look along the river, the possibility of finding ruins will be greatly increased.
[This is a cliff, in ancient times, it was a mountain range, considering the strength of the monsters in this world, it is possible that ancient cities are also built in such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place to resist the invasion of monsters! 】
Red Star pondered the terrain in which the city might be built, and made markings on the map that only he could understand.
Ironically, it is precisely because of the ancient civilization in this area, and the establishment of civilization required a lot of food, so the cutting down of trees and the cultivation of fertile land, led to the reduction of vegetation cover, and eventually led to the formation of deserts.
"What do you draw on the map?"
Hong Ling, who was busy with things on the side, also had curiosity about Hongxing in her heart, this young hunter who didn't even know his name did not have the immaturity of a rookie hunter, but looked mature and steady, and the sensitive intuition from women also told her that this young hunter was not a simple person, and the reason why he wanted to borrow information about the ruins was definitely not for nothing, but because of his profound intentions.
Therefore, seeing Hongxing's action of writing and drawing on the map against the information of the ruins, Hongling couldn't help but ask with curiosity in her heart after all.
"I'm looking for places where there might be new ruins."
"Huh?" Hongxing's frank answer surprised Hongling for a while, she hurriedly leaned over with her whole body, lowered her head, stared at Hongxing's map and said very carefully, "Then these markers, are you the location where you think it is possible to find the ruins?" ”
She didn't use a questioning tone, but easily believed the amazing red star.
This feeling of being believed made Red Star feel good about her.
"Well, you see, this is supposed to be an ancient river...... This is supposed to be an ancient mountain range......" Red Star took the trouble to explain to Hongling the basis for his own markings.
"I see, as soon as I heard you, I understood it at once!"
In this semi-primitive society of cultural desert, knowledge and power are the easiest to be worshipped, especially the former, which is very attractive to young people, and Yinyue, who had an amazing background and strength before, was impressed and admired by Hongxing's knowledge, and now, Hongling also looked at Hongxing with admiration with her big shining eyes.
"Well, do you want to be a great scholar by studying these?"
There are scholars in literature, and hunters in martial arts, but hunters can be seen everywhere because of their professional characteristics, and scholars are the same as otakus, often squatting in the house to study materials, and do not go out for ten days and half a month, plus the number is much rarer, in the hearts of most people, the status of scholars is still more noble than hunters, if you want to describe it: hunters are nobles among commoners, and scholars are commoners among nobles.
"No, I'm not going to be a scholar."
Redstar shook his head.
"Huh? What a pity! ”
Hongling didn't ask Hongxing why he didn't want to become a scholar, but only showed a regretful expression, and then didn't bother Hongxing anymore, but just glanced at Hongxing who was concentrating on marking the map when he was busy.
