【Chapter 240】 A cloud-piercing arrow

The moment of stat verification is not the same as the feeling of the Cursed Orb and the Overseer's Skull, and there are no complicated fragments of memories that tell the origin of the flash, and there are only two or three simple fragments.

One is a dark underground lair, dense like a tide of sickle-bladed insects, rubbing against the harsh strange sound.

The other is a cave filled with the roars of orcs and the shrill chirping of insects.

In the last fragment, in the darkness and darkness, the continuous alternating rhythm reverberates in the cavern at a fixed frequency.

Other than that, there was no more information. Qin Song took out the resonance crystal from the insect shell completely, it felt cold to the touch, like a gemstone, and the scales on the surface were not any textures, but real scales, forming a tiny angle between them and the crystals.

Gently press the scales, you can hear a subtle sound, a total of more than 40 pieces, each piece has a different sound, and the scales automatically rebound after release.

The intelligence of the insects does not seem to be quite the same as that of humans and orcs. In Qin Song's conjecture, the instinct of the insect is to reproduce and kill, and perhaps it should not require complex brain activities such as emotions, memories, and emotions similar to those of other creatures.

This may also explain why the clip is so simple and straightforward.

When the power in the crystal was transmitted into Qin Song's body, the strange sound that echoed in his ears came to an abrupt end. Qin Song was holding a huge resonance crystal in his hand, and for a while, he couldn't tell what strange abilities this thing had.

Resonance?

Does it have something to do with sound?

Sound wave?

Break the guts?

Deterrence?

Invigorate?

Different materials for ascending stars will give witches different skills. For example, Alice's tenacity prayer and Linda's angry and bloody battle cry, although Qin Song could not predict it in advance, but at present, it is still more suitable for the characteristics of witches and can play its role.

Alice and Linda, who have experienced a star upgrade, need to reach at least lv30 to upgrade again. However, as you level up, the amount of experience required for each level will also be doubled. According to the game's setting, every 5 levels will comprehend a skill, such as Alice, who is now the highest-level, reaches level 20 before comprehending the manipulation of metal, although she practices her ability every day, it will take a long time to reach level 21.

As for Linda, who has mastered the four abilities, minus the divine endowment, she has just reached level 16.

Elena, a two-star witch, has the slowest level of leveling, and is currently only level 13. Even Luna, because of one more star, came out on top, reaching level 15. And Liya, who has two more stars, although the time to master the divine power is too short, has reached level 4 at present, and will soon break through level 5.

However, since the four-star witch has her own natural ability, it is equivalent to being promoted to a star once. Therefore, to ascend to the star again, you still have to reach level 30.

All things considered, the only ones who are currently eligible for star promotion are Elena and Luna.

There are two options - Elena is upgraded from 2 to 3 stars, or Luna is upgraded from 3 to 4 stars.

Elena is more combative, and Luna is more supportive.

The question is, what skills does the ghost know what skills this resonance crystal will give to the witch?

It would be too bad to give a strange tank skill.

For a while, Qin Song was also a little uncertain.

Seeing that the time spent in the cave was not short, and there was nothing else of value around, Qin Song held the resonance crystal in his arms and returned the same way.

Standing on the gravel at the entrance of the cave, Elena, who was acting as an observer, was the first to see Qin Song, and when she saw that he was unharmed, she exclaimed excitedly: "Alice, Qin, it's back." ”

"Is he alright?"

"Looks fine, with a strange thing in my arms. ”

Hearing that Qin Song was safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, scrambling to climb the gravel and look inside. It wasn't until Qin Song came out of the darkness and saw the earnest little faces that he couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm fine, there is no danger." ”

"Hmm. Everyone responded sweetly, and their eyes fell on the resonance crystal.

"Qin, what is this?"

"That's where the strange sound comes from, but it's been purified and can't radiate evil anymore. Seeing that the torches were almost burning, Qin Song smiled and said, "Let's go, it's time for dinner, let's talk while walking." ”

"It's a graveyard for bugs. ”

"See that shriveled bug?"

"Of course, there are many more, in addition to bugs, there are also orc corpses. ”

"Don't worry, it looks like it's been a long time......"

......

"Your Excellency Leah, this is what the Commander asked me to give to you and Mr. Weima. ”

On the banks of the River Ness, at dusk, in the makeshift camp, Leah is arranging for Eric, leading the militia, to prepare for a routine patrol for the night. Sir Weimar's Knights, also holding torches, were ready to go.

Ralph, who returned by sea, arranged for the food to be transported to the Sage's Canyon by hand. led the soldiers to report to Qin Song briefly, and then felt that the camp was stationed non-stop.

Master Chief Ralph had a few strange paper tubes in his hand, much like the cannon during the small steel cannon experiment, but with a long wooden stick.

"What is this?" said Leah, curious.

"The Commander is in charge of this thing, it's called a signal arrow. Ralph pinched the paper tube with his fingers facing upwards and explained, "When you use it, hold it like this, with the paper tube facing up and the stick facing down." Then light the arquebus below, and the signal arrow will lift itself into the air, emitting a fire and a detonation to warn in advance and indicate the location. ”

That's right, this is the Sky Channeling Monkey made by Qin Song with a certain proportion of bursting magic powder, mixed with charcoal, increasing stability and reducing burstability. It is used to warn and indicate directions in advance in the dark night, which is cheap, affordable, simple and practical.

Riya's eyes lit up, since most of the population of the Blackstone Collar was concentrated, the intensity of night patrols gradually increased, and the scope expanded accordingly. However, how to accurately transmit information and indicate directions at night is gradually becoming more difficult.

The most feared thing about the open-air camp is to cause riots.

"Thanks, that's a great help. ”

Weimar, who was standing on the side, also took the signal arrow and said in surprise: "As long as you light the fire, you can rise to the sky?"

"Yes, Lord Leah, Lord Weimar, the wisdom of the commander can only amaze us. ”

Ralph is now not what it used to be, not only has a powerful armed force, but is also able to talk and work with the aristocracy. This is a fantastic change for the once lowly pirate.

Ralph became more and more obedient to his duties, and even took pride in being Qin Song's servant.

Therefore, for Alice, Liya and other witches who are close to Qin Song, they have always maintained due respect.

"I agree with you. Leah was also full of emotion: "Sergeant Ralph, I have also worked hard for you and your soldiers. ”

"It is our honor to serve the Commander-in-Chief. Ralph humbly stroked his chest and bowed his head: "Your Excellency Leah, we will heed the commander's orders and stationed in the camp. Me and my warriors, as well as the mighty orc hunters, will defend this place. Please tell Lord Weimar that when you confirm the presence of the orcs, please fire the signal arrows immediately and retreat in time. We will rush to the battlefield as fast as we can. ”

"Yes, Lord Leah. This is what Lord Alice has entrusted me to you and to Your Excellency Weimar. Ralph took out another linen bag and opened it, and inside were two orc hunters with barrels just over a foot long, one size smaller, and twelve matching shotguns: "This one is more portable than our orc hunters." It's just that it's slightly inferior in range and power. ”

Up to now, the Great Dare Army led by Ralph, officers above the rank of sergeant, a total of 13 people, each armed with an orc hunter, and 4 shotguns. Combined with Leah and Weima's two small shotguns, two salvos can fire 30 shotguns.

Leah couldn't put it down, and she was impressed by the Orc Hunter, a powerful weapon. With her current abilities, she can fight orcs in close combat, and shotguns can take them by surprise.

Sir Weimar held the orc hunter, flattered at the same time, but also full of joy: "Thank you, Your Excellency the Wise Man, thank you Alice! With it, I dare to fight with the orcs at my age." ”

Leah quipped, "I'd rather they never fire." ”

"Yes, yes. Weimar touched his beard and laughed heartily: "Okay, dusk is coming." It's those ugly hunks, favorite times. We will see you tomorrow morning, Lord Leah. ”

"I wish you and your knights all the best on this journey. ”

"Best wishes. ”

The waning moon hanging high was white and cold, lifeless, as if numbed by the murderous aura of the sky, and exuded a dry and obscure light.

"Father, is this what you call an orc hunter?"

Horsemen with torches lofted through the wilderness outside the camp. Caice walked side by side with his father, playing with the small orc hunter in his hands, his face unable to hide his curiosity and affection.

"That's right, it's very powerful. Sir Weimar laughed and said, "But be careful, don't go against your own people." Speaking of which, the army of the Wise Man is even more powerful than it. I've seen it with my own eyes, and the dense lead beads instantly pierce the fine cuirass. And, in just one breath, a second time can be triggered. ”

"Father......" Kayce's face was full of envy: "I heard you say, those warriors. It's not at all the same with the knights. ”

"Yes, I've seen it with my own eyes, and their coordination and discipline is extraordinary. Weimar touched his beard and said, "I copied a training manual, perhaps, we can also imitate it." ”

"Father. Caice suddenly said, "I also want to join the army of His Excellency the Wise." ”

"You?"

"Yes. Kayce looked yearning, "I've seen those warriors in the camp, clean and tidy, with a strong queue. And the officers, each of whom gets a handful of orc hunters, who are stronger than knights. ”

"Maybe Luna can intercede for you?" Weimahaha laughed.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in front of the cavalry, and someone shouted, "Orcs!

Accompanied by the neighing of war horses, the sound of swords drawn sounded one after another.

"Roar~"

The roar of the orcs also sounded at the same time.

Sir Weimar looked stunned, and immediately pulled out the signal arrow from his arms: "Caice, ignition!"

The flame lit up.

The fuse is ignited.

zhi~~~~

A long, mournful howl tore through the silent wasteland.

boom!

Dazzling sparks bloomed in the dark night sky.

"Retreat! Retreat to camp!"
