February 15, 795 AH, Tania, Tavern of the Deep Roar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoTwo players, a man and a woman, are feasting at a table near the door. Although the food didn't look very good, the two of them still ate deliciously.

"The paella in this place is really good." After waiting until he was almost finished, Duan Qing patted his stomach and commented with some satisfaction: "Where is the owner of this shop?" Is it a world-famous chef or something......

"The owner of this shop...... Mengzhu also said with satisfaction, "I heard that he used to be a captain, but then he didn't wash his hands, so he named his ship and opened a tavern here." ”

"Listening to your description, that captain wouldn't be that kind of businessman, would he?"

"Shhhh Mengzhu immediately lowered his voice, and then looked at the inside of the tavern that was relatively empty in the early morning: "Fortunately, there are still fewer people, so no one should hear ......"

"Hey, is it that serious?" Duan Qing squinted his eyes and looked in the same direction, but he still couldn't help but lower his voice: "Then why do we still come to this kind of shop......

"It's cheap!"

Really...... Duan Qing covered his face.

"Actually, it's because it's more convenient." The girl covered her mouth and snickered: "This place is relatively close to the place of the Adventurers' Association, so everyone usually doesn't pick and choose...... If you're looking for a taste of Tania's food, it's better to head to Yar's Street. ”

Mengzhu raised his finger and said: "There is also shopping, shopping for goods, there are still a lot of various shops over there, although it is said that because of the recent surge in customers in the adventurer crowd, the owner of 'Carbinburg' seems to be going to open a branch here in the adventurer's association......"

"And what is Cabinbou?"

"It's the name of a shop that specializes in buying and selling equipment, and I'll show you around later." Mengzhu replied, "Now...... While there's still some time to rest, I'll tell you about the things on Arrafort Street. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Thinking of his previous questions, Duan Qing immediately returned to the state of a curious baby: "Rune inscriptions, as well as gem inlays or something, what's the use?" ”

"Oh, one by one." Mengzhu held his chin and thought for a while: "That gem inlay, that is, to use some special ways to inlay some stones with magic power on your weapons and equipment, and then you will exert the special effects carried by those gems, such as improving defense, improving sharpness, restoring physical strength, and some can also attach the effect of attribute attacks......"

"So powerful?" Duan Qing was shocked: "Isn't the person who has the gem invincible?" ”

"Think beautifully! With the broken stones that players can find so far, there is only a little effect that can be exerted. The little girl hugged her arms: "Anyway, the ones I've seen, the effects of the improvement can almost be ignored, such as the effect of restoring physical strength, players who have tried it say that the effect is not felt at all in ordinary actions, let alone in the heat of battle......"

"Uh......" Duan Qing looked at the other party speechlessly, all he got was a helpless expression.

"However, some players are said to have obtained some powerful gems, and they have also asked the craftsmen on the street, and it is said that those stones, if used correctly, may increase the attributes of the character." Looking at Duan Qing's eyes that lit up again, Mengzhu began to hit the other party again: "But this road is not going to work at the moment." ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"Because of the equipment, the equipment." The little girl knocked on the wooden table in front of her, as if she were teaching a lesson: "In order to complete the gem setting, there is one key factor that needs to be achieved, and that is...... Your weapons and equipment should fit into the setting. With a wooden sword for training or something like an ordinary cloth coat, it is impossible to set any stones. ”

"And most of the current players' equipment is difficult to inlay, let alone those powerful stones."

"Well, it's very scientific." Duan Qing nodded in response and said, "But...... How does it sound like I'm in some kind of game, where you need slots or something to set up a stone? ”

"That's understandable, but that's what this game is, isn't it?" "If you want to know if your weapons and equipment are suitable for inlay, then go to the artisans on the handicraft street and have a look, if they say they can do it, then congratulations." ”

Listening to this, it seems to ...... It's a lot of money, right? Seeing the girl's nodding again and again, Duan Qing put on an expression of "sure enough": "And it depends on your luck, there will definitely be no rules." ”

"Well, the current players don't seem to have figured out the rules, but it should be related to the quality of weapons and equipment and the quality of gems." Mengzhu replied: "Anyway, I haven't inlaid it now, I don't know what the mystery is inside......"

"What about the others? Have you tried anything else? ”

"How is that possible? It's something that only players who pursue the limit and big guys can afford, and it has nothing to do with small players like me! Mengzhu crossed his hands and made a gesture of splitting each other: "Absolutely!" Right! Not! Yes! ”

"Okay, okay, I know it's expensive." Duan Qing waved his hand again and again, indicating that he understood the girl's determination: "So what do the other crafts do?" ”

"Actually, it's pretty much the same." Mengzhu sat up straight, and then continued: "Rune inscription is to use some special magic process to depict the magic circle on your weapons and equipment, which is something that magician-level people can play, and it depends on whether they are proficient in this aspect, but the power of the magic circle seems to be very powerful, and it is varied...... As for enchantments. ”

The girl spread her hands: "Enchantment is literal." ”

"It's just ......" Duan Qing gestured: "Enchantment? ”

"Well, it's enchantment." The girl nodded and replied, "Slash, Strike, Resistance, and all sorts of attribute attacks...... That's what it is. ”

"Hey, Christo is really uncreative." Duan Qing leaned his back and put his hand behind his head at the same time: "I thought he had created a new magical world by himself." ”

"It doesn't hurt to borrow it, at least it's already the cheapest of all the crafts." Mengzhu said: "Of course, the effect is also the most general...... However, if you can find the Grand Mage to enchant you, it may take a long time, both in terms of effect and duration. ”

"Oh? Maybe we can use the relationship we know Christine......"

"Come on, we can't even see people's faces now...... And why should people help you, do we have a good relationship? ”

"Relationships are such a thing, after all, they can be brushed. As for the meeting...... We've only met once before. ”

"What?" The girl immediately jumped up: "Where is where?" ”

"Well, that's a long story." Duan Qing stood up helplessly: "Let's talk while walking." ”

"Okay, let's go back first."

"Don't forget to pay the bill."

"You...... Hum! ”

*****************

"Wow, it's a pity that I didn't follow you!"

"Don't say that, I've almost died several times in between......"

"I don't care, just leave us down to deal with this mess, and then turn around and jump into such an interesting adventure......" The more he thought about it, the more angry Mengzhu also jumped: "You! Take responsibility for the adventure group! ”

"Okay, I know, then you have to give me a goal first." Duan Qing pushed his hands, and finally stopped the little girl who was close to madness: "It's been a long time since we left, and our home hasn't arrived yet......

"Well, it's already here." Pointing to the ordinary building in front of him, Mengzhu's tone suddenly became indifferent: "It's right there." ”

"Inside? Don't lie to me. Duan Qing looked at the door of the wooden house with the sign of "Adventurer's Association" and said with a headache: "Isn't this the Adventurer's Association?" ”

"yes, this is it." Meng Zhu nodded blankly: "It's still for Richard's sake, Vimes took us here, and ordinary adventurers don't have such treatment......

"In other words, we are in a state of sending people under the fence now......" Duan Qing covered his head and said, "It sounds so miserable." ”

"It's better than a party of scattered players, right?" Mengzhu replied: "At least we can be regarded as blending into the interior of the Adventurers' Association, and we are insiders." ”

“...... I believed. Duan Qing sighed, and then looked at the entrance of the association that was coming in and out: "And then?" Shall we just go in through the main entrance? ”

"Wait a minute." Mengzhu stood at the door and looked left and right for a while: "What about people?" Why haven't you come yet......"

"Huh? Did you still have a date? ”

"It's laughing at Hongchen, laughing at Hongchen." The girl looked in a certain direction with some dissatisfaction: "Finally, when you come back, everyone will always get together, but I said that he would go and say hello to Connelly and come back, why haven't you come back yet......"

"Who is Connelly?"

"The boss of Cabinbourg." Mengzhu replied, "Do you remember the equipment we received at Karon Pass before? We all got rid of it in his shop, so we're now Connelly's customers......."

"What!" Duan Qing was shocked: "Didn't you want to use those things as the capital for us to establish the guild?" ”

"The construction of the guild costs money, uncle." Mengzhu said a little weakly: "You don't care about these things, of course you don't know the hardships of being in charge, and ah, ......"

"After coming to the capital, I realized that the equipment we are optimistic about is not good equipment at all." The girl's voice became a little lonely: "So, ah, I decided...... We sold everything we could. ”

"Is that so?" Duan Qing pinched his chin and said, "Then I'm interested in the sales level of this place." ”

"Really? It's good. Mengzhu looked up at the sky: "Since it's still early, let's go directly to Carbinburg, find out the whereabouts of Xiao Hongchen, and at the same time let you see the weapons and equipment of this place...... What kind of level has it reached. ”

"After all, this is the capital of the Duchy."

She sighed and walked in a certain direction.

There was another shuttle between the streets and the crowd, Duan Qing was led by Mengzhu to walk skillfully between the streets and alleys, and it didn't take long to come to the place they had seen before-that was the big road that Duan Qing faced at the gate when he first entered the city, on the middle of Yar Street. And in front of them, a tall gold-clad shop presented a fiery scene in front of them.

"That's a lot of people......"

"Look! This is the most popular place for players. Mengzhu said proudly: "The loot obtained by everyone's adventures can be sold here for a good price, and everyone who buys things here may receive the equipment they need...... Not long after Carbinbour appeared in front of players, it became famous among the player community. ”

"Really? It's really worth a look. Duan Qing looked at the crowd of players on several floors inside and outside, and said helplessly: "But...... Let's not talk about how we get in, laugh at that guy Hongchen...... How should we find it? ”

"Uh......"

The girl was embarrassed for a moment, then patted her forehead and said, "I told you how to get in before...... Oh, let's go first. ”

She dragged Duan Qing around the crowd, and then came to the back of the local tyrant's gold-like building, which was like other places, in the shadow of a certain back alley. It didn't take much effort for the two of them to see the back door of the building, which was located in this place.

Of course, as is customary, there are still two tall guards standing at the door.

"I'm Mengzhu, I want to see Connelly."

Although there are players in this place, it is much worse than the direction of the main entrance in front, presumably it has something to do with the owner of Carbinb, and it is also someone who wants to see him in the back, and they have also reported their names like Mengzhu before, and then waited for one of the guards to look at the list and check some special qualifications they secretly have. However, when the little girl who was pulling Duan Qing to the door, the black-armored guard looked at them fixedly for a while, as before, and then compared to the white paper in his hand: "Hmm...... Miss Mengzhu, huh? ”

"Mr. Connelly is entertaining, but you can go in and wait for a while, of course, if you don't have anything important......"

"Okay, okay, no problem." Mengzhu and Duan Qing glanced at each other, then nodded in agreement.

"So...... Turn right after entering the door and go to the second floor, where other people will greet you. Ignoring the protest in the eyes of the other players around him, the guard finished saying this, and then flashed his body and let the little girl and Duan Qing in.

"Hey, it's all waiting, why can they go in......"

"Watch the order!" Another guard shouted, "Does anyone have any objections...... You can go in and ask Mr. Connelly. ”

A grim smile appeared on the guard's face, "We'll think about it carefully." ”

The players swallowed slightly, then stepped back, watching the two players, a man and a woman, disappear into the darkness behind them with some kind of inexplicable look.
