Chapter 104: The Stuffy Stick Artifact
Lorraine is gone,
A master of that level can't take his turn to worry.
Tonight's experience is also quite bizarre, originally Raymond just wanted to simply clean up a treasure chest stronghold, but he didn't expect to lead to so many things later.
"Hey... I think I'm almost the same as Conan's hapless kid, possessed by an aura of doom, and something happens wherever I go..."
Raymond shook his head, not ready to stay longer.
"Forget it, pack up the loot and leave..."
He muttered, picked up the strange black stick on the ground,
This is the weapon used by the Navy Colonel named Eric.
looked at the attributes, and there was an unexpected surprise in his eyes.
【Mellon's Alchemy Stick】

[Spread] Spiritual Spell Release Range +110%;

"Physical Attack and Mental Attack Double Damage? It's no wonder that a Fa Transcendent dared to fight with me just now..."
The first time Raymond saw this piece of equipment, a few words flashed through his mind,
"Knock on the stuffy stick artifact"!
Generally speaking, the bodies of spiritual law transcendents are very weak, and the weapons are all spiritual power amplification equipment such as magic staff and secret texts. It is only suitable for long-range output, not for melee attacks.
So, in addition to the strange dead players in the game, in reality, you can't see a mage holding a staff and a swordsman fighting for strength...
However, this is a different path with the black stick, taking the path of double damage from the physics department and the spirit department.
Although the attributes of this thing are very good, it is not practical for ordinary mages, it is definitely the kind of equipment that belongs to chicken ribs, the attributes of the law system are not as good as the staff, and the attributes of the physical system are not as good as the pure physical stick.
But Raymond couldn't put it down when he held it in his hand, and this equipment was like a tailor-made weapon for him.
"This thing feels a lot more reliable than that brass bell, even if the mental spell fails to control the target, it can still physically force the stun..."
He thinks that this thing is very much to his own appetite, it is simply a must-have yin product at home, a big man always holds a bell and dangles blindly, and the picture is also a little inconsistent.
Raymond put away the black stick and turned his head to look, but he let out a soft sigh.
If he didn't look closely, he couldn't even see that the jelly-like translucent object on the ground could be a corpse, as if the light had been distorted, and he couldn't see it in a trance.
After touching the corpse, he realized that the black cloak on this Eric was also a strange thing.
【Cloak of Shadows】
Defense 0-1
Special effect:
1. Light absorption +95%;
2. [Hidden] shields 90% perception;
Explanation: A cloak made of mirage skin, which shields from active detection.
"Can it absorb light? It's no wonder that he can hide so without a trace....The [Nightmare] Sequence's Transcendent Equipping is a perfect match! ”
Raymond's eyes showed a look of clarity.
The transcendent potion [Nightmare] in Sequence 6 is exclusive to Arthur's subsequent advancement of the silver potion [Black Devil] when refining the medicine a few days ago. All of these potions have stealth bonuses, which are more severe than the regular Rogue class. Especially in the dark environment, the talent for hiding traces makes them like ghosts, and it is extremely difficult for people to catch their whereabouts.
Not to mention that Raymond, a Sequence 9 transcendent, can't find this guy named Eric, this guy wears this cloak, even if he is a Sequence 5 transcendent who is not generally good at perception, he may not be able to find him.
The more this happened, the more curious Raymond became, why would a psychic transcendent who was good at lurking Sequence 6 follow Arthur's trials? A dignified naval colonel, it is impossible to simply be a bodyguard, and there must be another purpose.
"It seems that this Eric's motive may not be so simple."
Thinking of this,
Raymond looked at Arthur, who was buried in the rubble and dying.
He rubbed his chin and looked thoughtful.
Moments later,
He didn't directly hurt the killer, but walked over with a black stick.
......
The next day, the weather was fine.
Somewhere in the Hux Vulture prison, Erin was bored with the grass roots teasing the little beetle on the ground.
After teasing for a while, the little worm got into the corrosive crack in the corner of the cabin and disappeared, and then she pouted again with a resentful look at the little daughter-in-law, and muttered: "Why hasn't Raymond come yet..."
She's been waiting here for most of the day.
Looking at this familiar prison, Erin was also quite emotional. It had left her with a horrible memory, and she remembered that the vicious drunken pirate tried to plot against her... If it weren't for Raymond who fell from the sky, she would have killed herself on the spot.
"I was so stupid at the time, talking nonsense, and almost ruined Raymond's sneak attack plan..."
Erin thought about it, a flush appeared on her face, her eyes flickered, and before she knew it, her thoughts ran away.
She still clearly remembered that the hole in front of her that had not yet been filled was the secret passage where they had escaped...
Thinking about it, she remembered some other pictures in a trance... When a guy was in the ventilation duct to push himself to climb fast, he seemed to push his hips? At the time, I didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong with the emergency, but in retrospect, it seems like something was wrong...
"Click..."
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly she heard movement, apparently someone had entered the cabin.
"Who is it?"
Erin immediately drew the Knight of Light sword and made a defensive gesture.
When she saw a guy with a hood coming in at the door, she was stunned at first, and then seemed to recognize the person, and her vigilant expression immediately relaxed.
She took the initiative to greet her: "Lemon, are you here?" ”
I thought I would complain that I would feel bored after waiting for a long time, but I didn't want to see him, so I was happy again.
Raymond was a little surprised, touched the hood and said lightly, "How did you recognize me?" ”
He looked in the mirror himself, just like the robbers, he didn't recognize it, how did Erin recognize it?
"Guess?"
Erin's eyebrows curled, and she smiled and didn't answer. Instead, she looked at Raymond's appearance and muttered with some disgust, "Why are you wearing a hood?" Ugly..."
Raymond thought for a moment, and then took off his hood, revealing a sleek head.
"This..."
Erin was stunned for a moment.
She tried to hold back her laughter because she thought it would be rude.
But after looking at Raymond twice, it was so funny that she couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha... Raymond, why did you shave your hair... I'm not trying to laugh at you, but you're so ugly..."
Saying that, it was the first time that Erin was so bold, and she took the initiative to stretch out a finger and curiously rubbed the hair piles left on her bald head.
Raymond rolled his eyes, he felt like a husky who had been touched on the head at the moment.
He looked at Erin's curious baby look, spread his hands and said helplessly: "You can touch it if you want..."
Hearing him say this, Erin's eyes lit up, and she really reached out and touched his bald head.
No one in the aristocracy would dare to do so, only adventurers and pirates would shave their heads. It was the first time she had really seen what a person with a shaved head was like, as if she had discovered a new continent, with little stars twinkling in her eyes.
"Oh, that's a prick...", satisfying her curiosity, Erin realized that this action was a bit too rude.
She withdrew her hand and asked, "Why did you shave your hair?" ”
Raymond said lightly, "It's easier to shave it because a guy left an elemental mark on his hair." ”
Erin didn't understand for a moment, "Huh? ”
At this time, Raymond didn't plan to continue to talk more on his bald head, he took out a heavy big bag from the package, and said seriously: "You take this..."
"What is this?"
Erin listened to the clatter of the bag, like a bag of coins. But when she opened her pocket and saw the glittering bag of gold coins, she immediately covered her mouth and said in shock: "Oh my God! All gold? How can you have so many..."
Suddenly, she thought of Raymond's words that sounded like a breeze... The "Elemental Mark" was cast during the trial, and it must have been done by people with bad intentions.
I'm afraid these gold coins are not easy to come by.
Now seeing so many gold coins, Erin understands no matter how stupid she is, and worries: "You... Who gave you the marker? ”
"It doesn't matter... I killed them anyway. ”
Raymond explained lightly, and did not intend to give her a detailed description of the entire thrilling process, and said: "You have these gold coins, and the first place in this trial should be no surprise." ”
"Huh?" Erin pointed to the gold coins and said in shock, "These... You give it to me? ”
She looked at the large bag of gold coins, and her head suddenly turned a little. Isn't there only one gold coin for every pirate? There are six or seven hundred gold coins here... Could it be that Raymond killed so many pirates?
Raymond looked at Erin, who was frightened, smiled, and explained: "I have a master key, and I got six treasure chests of gold coins, that's why there are so many..."
The more this was explained, the more Irene sounded wrong.
Six treasure chests are only 300 gold coins, that... Where did the more than 300 come from?
He must have risked his life to collect so much, and even had to shave his hair to save his life. For many nobles, shaving their heads is a humiliation that is more difficult to accept than death...
The corners of Erin's eyes moistened slightly, and she felt as if there was some kind of emotion in her heart that she couldn't help but rush out.
But at this time, I listened to Raymond say quietly: "That... Erin, isn't the first in this trial a reward for a legendary martial art? When the time comes, I want you to help me redeem a copy of the Stature Book..."
"Do you really want me to take the gold coins to get first?"
Erin was stunned, and she had a feeling of cheating.
She secretly glanced at Raymond, pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "Actually... You can do it yourself..."
The first place in the trial will be rewarded with an additional reward from Archduke Philip every year, which can be said to be an extraordinary honor for anyone, and it is also a good opportunity to gain the recognition of those elders of the Philip family.
Arthur's guy actually took a fancy to this, so he chose to take the opportunity of "Trial First" to propose to Archduke Philip.
Others can... You...
But before Erin could finish speaking, she was interrupted.
Raymond didn't seem to think of the deep meaning of that level at all, and said truthfully in confusion: "I killed a few people with a bit of tricky identities this time, and it's not easy to show up." And... The trial is coming to an end, and I'm going to have to sneak back to the 'living quarters'..."
A look of loss flashed across Erin's face, "Oh. ”
He was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had interrupted something, and said, "Hey, Erin, what else did you want to say just now?" ”
Erin's expression darkened, and she said quietly, "It's nothing..."
Raymond thought about it, didn't have anything else to explain, and said, "Well... Don't tell anyone about my presence. On the Duke's side, I'll explain it to him. ”
The purpose of this trial at Aum Academy is not simple, and Raymond obtains some top-secret conspiracies from Arthur's mouth. However, he didn't have to worry about that level of conspiracy at all, and telling Archduke Philip was the best choice.
Erin pouted, "Oh. ”
Handing over everything,
Raymond put on his hood again and said, "Then I'll go to the 'living quarters' first, there was some movement on the island last night, and I don't know if the trial will end early." You just find a place to hide and wait until the trial is over. ”
"Okay, be careful, too."
Erin nodded obediently.
She looked at the back of Raymond leaving, and the emotions that she didn't have time to vent just now came out in a flash. There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his vision was gradually blurred.
really
He said,
It will definitely be done.
