Chapter 8: Charlotte Draws ...... Dragon!
A terrible tragedy.
It's at the foot of that mountain...... It was that bright noon...... When the sun is at its most delicate.
A princess and three knights with her entourage, with a group of innocent followers, are ambushed by a thug with his men!
The three knights died heroically in battle, but Her Royal Highness the princess was humiliated in an unspeakable way!
Oh God! The whole wilderness echoed with the mournful cry of Her Royal Highness the Princess!
"Where is the justice? Who will administer justice? Uh-huh! Uh-huh...... Hmph......"
When the people of Progain's Farm arrived, they found it as if the land had been bombed, but they didn't know what it was. In short, the scene was very tragic.
This incident left an indelible impression on young Field, who was still a teenager, and it became a direct reason for him to become an adventurer in the future.
Here's what he wrote:
“…… The ground was full of messy mounds and ravines, especially a shallow pit, which was particularly conspicuous, as if it had been smashed by a boulder falling from the sky. Several wild boars, large and small, fell to the ground, and the most conspicuous was the princess. It had a hole in its huge belly thicker than an arm, and the blood was still dripping out, though the blood on the ground looked like a river......"
"It was really, really big, and the body that fell to the ground looked much bigger than Mr. Charlotte. At this time, Mr. Charlotte, who was covered in dust, was sitting on a dirt bag next to him, holding a broken straw hat and fanning vigorously, while panting heavily. At first glance, it was a fierce hand-to-hand fight with the princess......"
"Right on that day, right at that moment. I made a decision, I wanted to be an adventurer! I'm going to look around for like-minded friends, and I'm going to form a Straw Hat Adventure Party! I'm the king of adventure! ”
Feed? Demon spirits? Someone here is pretending to be forced! Right...... Kill the elite monsters by rolling on the ground! The scene is tragic! Moreover, there are teenagers who do not know the truth and are determined to embark on the road of no return to a vibrant social group! Come on!
……
Dinner was still eaten at the farm, and Charlotte did not hurry back to her accommodation. It's not early, and it's still dangerous to go on a night trip in the wilderness. I'm really exhausted. And doing good deeds without leaving to eat, it's really not Charlotte's style.
Of course, Charlotte won't admit that she really can't bear to have a celebratory dinner on the farm. All kinds of fruits, dairy products, eggs and large pieces of roasted meat, stew, and Charlotte even cooked a braised pork herself.
In this world, the technology of sugar refining is relatively mature, whether it is maltose, sucrose or other sweet plants can be extracted from sugar.
But it still hasn't reached the point where every family has it, and even the farmer of Ropugain only came up with some oddly colored sugar to use at some celebratory and festive banquets.
As for honey, it is even more valuable, because all kinds of bees in this world are very aggressive and poisonous, and ordinary people dare not approach them at all.
Charlotte once smoked a small beehive and later sold it for more than 80 silver coins! Take it to buy whole wheat bread to eat a family of three for a year! If you take it to the big city, you can buy more.
Charlotte unceremoniously used a handful of sugar, and Mrs. Field's heart was bleeding. At this time, Charlotte realized that there is no soy sauce in this world, and vinegar is also something similar to apple cider vinegar, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to make it, otherwise he will be able to be a seasoning tycoon.
After a hearty dinner, Charlotte climbed into bed with a hard stomach, he had eaten so much that he didn't even dare to bend down. At this time, if he could look in the mirror, he would find that he could see the chicken legs in his throat and eyes with one mouth.
At this time, the moon is already hanging high, and the night in this world is particularly unsafe. Everyone didn't have any other entertainment, so they all went to bed early to make villains. Outside, except for the chirping of insects and the occasional barking of dogs, there was silence. Charlotte took out the card that the princess "exploded" today.
This card shows a boar tooth.
"The Power of the Boar Princess (Green), an excellent miscellaneous card, a part of the remaining power of the Boar Princess. Remarks: Slag. ”
"I said a big dictionary, and you didn't say that you can explode things when you kill monsters?"
"You didn't ask me either! Do you want me to tell you? Wouldn't I be very shameless? "The big dictionary is still a constant pride.
"Then why haven't you ever exploded anything before hunting and killing wild goblins?"
"You haven't played the game! Is it a weird thing? Are you a GM? ”
If you can catch the engineer who made this system, you must choke him to death!
……
There are many types of miscellaneous cards, such as the bottle of "Zeus's Wife's Milk". It can be turned into a bottle of milk, and it will have an effect when you drink it.
And this is a card, it can't be ready-made anything. But this card can be used to strengthen other cards.
Charlotte opened her card dictionary and found the Stonetooth Boar card. The Stonetooth Boar is a white Normal-level follower card with a slot that can be used to strengthen it by placing other cards. Green excellent cards, on the other hand, have two slots.
This is also a reflection of the different levels of cards, not only the difference in attributes and skills, but in many ways, the green cards are crushing the white cards.
Charlotte didn't choose to inlay this green sundries card on the stonetooth boar, it was a white card after all, and it would definitely not be able to keep up with her growth in the future. Charlotte chooses to upgrade it.
Charlotte clicks on the fusion option, puts the Stonetooth Boar in the main card slot, puts the power of the Boar Princess in the secondary card slot, and then selects Fusion.
"Ding-dong! Your white normal-level follower card--Stone Tooth Boar, which combines the power of the green excellent level sundries card - Wild Boar Princess, is upgraded to the green excellent level follower card Stone Tooth Boar King, please pay attention to check it. This fusion costs 20 Destiny Points and 200 Stonetooth Boar XP. Welcome to the next visit......" The system's voice sounded.
"Stonetooth Boar King (Green), an excellent-level follower card, consumes 40 mana points, summons a level 3 Stonetooth Boar King to fight for you. Notes: You can send it to wreak havoc on the enemy's pumpkin fields! ”
Charlotte checked the detailed attributes of the Stone Tooth Boar King and found that the mana cost was a little more, but the level of the boar became level 3, which was still after consuming 200 experience. And all attributes have increased a lot, and there is one more skill: shaking the ground (green).
I didn't fully inherit that blue skill, but it was a bonus. The real big head is the quest reward.
"Ding-dong! Congratulations on completing the D-Class mission: The Princess Must Die. Mission Completion: Grade C. Rewards: 500 experience, 20 Destiny Points, and a random card. Bonus experience 100.Note: The fellow's potatoes have finally been saved, and they have done a good job. ”
Charlotte chose to receive the task reward, and three cards appeared in front of her, these three cards were randomly drawn by the system, and the mechanism was not clear, in short, it would be more in line with the value of the task. Charlotte can choose one of them as a quest reward.
"Iron Branch (Green), an excellent item card, +1 Strength, Agility, and Intelligence. Notes: You can use it to hit the enemy's lower body at critical moments, it's very hard! ”
In addition to the normal equipment that Charlotte wears on her body, she also has six item card slots. You can equip an additional six item cards. Prop cards can be placed in the inventory to play an effect, and prop cards are also varied, and there are any effects.
"KKy Whole Family Bucket (Ash), Rough Grade Debris Card, Edible: +1 Spirit, -1 Constitution, lasts 3 natural days. Note: Our chickens do not contain absolutely any hormones! Believe it or not, I believe it anyway......"
"Bloodbog Velociraptor (White), a normal-level follower card that consumes 30 mana points and summons a level 3 Bloodbog Velociraptor to fight for you. Notes: Brave boy, come and be a dragon knight! ”
There is an icon underneath this card. This means that it has a skill. Split Armor: Destroys 5% of the target's armor when attacking, stacks 3 stacks for 30 seconds.
What the hell is a KUKY family bucket? Stay away from me!
Charlotte was the first to rule out the gray spurt cards. I'm afraid of mutation when I eat this thing. The remaining two cards are very good, if only they could stay......
In the end, Charlotte had to reluctantly choose a white follower card: the Bloodbog Velociraptor. Although the green item card can add three attributes, your real combat power is on the summon.
It just so happens that I have upgraded myself, and the mana value has risen a lot, so I am not afraid of insufficient mana with lucky coins. Perfect!
"Ding-dong! Congratulations on reaching level 4, you have 1 free attribute point, please use it in time. Charlotte casually put this 1 attribute on strength.
Early the next morning, Charlotte said goodbye to little Field and Mrs. Field, got into the SF carriage from the farm to Gruyar, and set out on the way home.
Of course, only little Field was reluctant. If Mrs. Field, for the sake of the specialty dish of dried potatoes and stewed meat, it is estimated that this product will choose to be upside down.
Now in front of Charlotte was a dirt road, two deep ruts. Even on dirt roads that are often walked, there are many weeds that survive tenaciously. The nature of this world is exceptionally vibrant with the support of magic.
Sitting in a squeaky, rickety carriage, Charlotte had a grass root in her mouth and her head full of nonsense. He was a little sleepy, but he couldn't sleep yet, and although the road was often frequented, there was no guarantee of absolute safety.
This world is not the Great Celestial Empire that I don't leave behind and never close my doors at night!
It's not safe to travel, so it's not uncommon to see dead bodies lying on the side of the road when you're out and about. Some people disappeared inexplicably, and the corpses didn't know where they were!
Hans, who watched the gate, said that on this road, there were three tragic incidents in the last month.
Once a goblin, once a kobold, once a wolf. In total, 2 people died and 5 received injuries of varying severity. Humans are not the masters of this world. It's just a humble member.
Or rather, in this world. Although human beings are currently dominant, it is because of their large number and wide distribution, not because of how strong they are.
Humans are known as the People of Black Iron, while mainstream intelligent races such as elves, dwarves, and orcs are known as the People of Bronze. A small number of them are noble-blooded, and they are even called the people of silver.
The normal limit for the Black Iron Folk is to advance to the Bronze Rank, while the Bronze Folk can advance to the Silver Rank. Although each class is not absolutely crushed, the difference in strength is very obvious.
As far as Charlotte knows, in order to advance to the Bronze tier, you need to have 20 points in one of your nude attributes. Exactly twice as many as a normal person! And those bronze people, as long as they are adults, can basically reach this number.
Therefore, human beings do not have an advantage in terms of strength, especially for individual individuals, there are too many things that will kill you!
In fact, just two thousand years ago, humanity was a loose tribe and city-state, and it was not taken seriously by other intelligent races.
It is after two unified dynasties, a total of five famous kings and nine heroes who have fought all their lives to finally stand out in this black iron era.
It may be the ability to reproduce, coupled with the ability to learn, and the endless desire to learn, that have allowed humanity to rise in this era of declining power and become the mainstream race of this world.
And the carriage sent by Progaine Farm is not only to repay Charlotte for eliminating harm for the people and saving their potatoes. His remuneration included two large bags of dried potatoes, and the farm also sent some other agricultural and sideline products. That's enough to pay him.
The reason why a carriage was sent to send Charlotte on a ride was to use Charlotte, a free bodyguard, to transport some goods to Gruyar.
Gruyar is quite simple here, in fact, when it is really dangerous to go out, those bandits, deserters, etc. They are often even more cruel and unscrupulous than their own kind.
