Chapter 84: The Scourge's Slate
Blizzards can last anywhere from a few minutes to tens of minutes, and if you're lucky, you'll soon be able to weather the crisis.
The NPCs were reluctant to approach Su Yang, and several players were curious about Su Yang's experience and wanted to know how to play the game if he was wanted by the whole country.
The leader of the guards kept staring at the fat-headed merchant who was huddled in the corner, and suddenly shouted, "What the hell are you transporting!" ”
The fat-headed merchant's eyes dodged, and his tone was submissive: "It's nothing, just some cloth and Mithril." ”
"Nonsense!" The leader of the guards glared at him, "In the end, I see that you obviously took something else and hid it on you!" ”
"It's Mithril." The fat-headed merchant was still quibbling, "Mithril is very precious, and it's just a box. ”
Mithril is one of the more common magic materials, common does not mean cheap, and Mithril has a wide range of applications, whether it is to create weapons or armor, or to make magic scrolls, it needs to use Mithril.
In the player market, a gram of Mithril sells for about 25 gold, and sometimes Mithril can replace gold coins as a general equivalent, and some players hoard Mithril and other appreciation.
The leader of the guard didn't believe him, and stretched out his hand and said, "Then you take out Mithril and show it to us." ”
Of course, the fat-headed merchant didn't have Mithril on him, and wanted to change the subject to fool him, but the leader of the guard directly called his companion to hold him down, and said, "It's not Mithril he's transporting at all, I suspect he's transporting the Scourge Slate!" ”
"He transports the Scourge?" The guard NPCs were immediately angry, and directly pressed the fat-headed merchant to the ground, and the leader of the guard reached out to grope for him, and really found a stone slab.
The slate is grayish-white, about 20 centimeters long and wide, one finger thick, irregular on all sides, obviously broken, and the pattern on the slate is incomplete.
In the middle of the peculiar pattern is a red eye, which makes people look very uncomfortable, as if the red eye is alive, staring at everyone present.
Players are also curious: "This is the Scourge Slate?" I've only heard of it, but I've never seen it in kind. ”
"I've heard that the Cataclysmic Slab will bring bad luck, and we have encountered polar bears and blizzards one after another, maybe it is the impact of the Cataclysmic Slate."
"I'll just say why are you so unlucky, continue to carry this slate, I'm afraid there will be more difficulties ahead."
Su Yang was the only one present who didn't understand what the natural disaster slate was, and he could know from the reactions of others that this thing was taboo and ominous.
The leader of the guard tugged at the fat merchant's collar, his eyes wide, "Do you know what you're doing?" You have let us have so many of us, to accompany you to transport a natural disaster slate! You're trying to make us die! ”
The fat-headed merchant's face was like ashes, and now he couldn't quibble with all the stolen goods, so he could only cry with a sad face: "I accidentally found this slate, someone bought it at a high price, as long as you can help me send this slate into the city, I promise, I guarantee that each of you will have a high commission!" ”
"No matter how much money you have, is it useful to spend it!" The leader of the guards would have been tempted to throw the fat-headed merchant into the blizzard right now, and if it weren't for the Scourge, perhaps they wouldn't have encountered so many disasters.
If the blizzard lasts a little longer, you won't survive hiding in a cave.
Su Yang asked the elemental, "Can't you go back to the city in the event of a snowstorm?" ”
The elemental master replied: "You can before being covered by the wind and snow, but you can't go back to the city in the blizzard, and most people are not reconciled, and they have to start all over again after walking such a long way." ”
Listening to the sound of the wind, it seems to be a little quieter, the temperature feels less low, I took a stone and looked out, the snowstorm has passed, fortunately not the worst outcome.
Leaving the cave, several carriages had long been blown away, the wind and snow were still very strong, everyone tightened their coats, and the rest of the journey could only rely on their feet.
The fat-headed merchant begged the leader of the guard to send him to the city, promising that he would continue to increase the price, and that he would receive many, many gold coins for selling the Scourge Slate.
The requirements of the Guardian Leader are also very simple, as long as the Fathead Merchant is willing to discard the Scourge Slate, they can take the Fathead Merchant on the road.
"Discard the slate?" The fat-headed businessman wants to cry without tears, and his hard work is such a slate, and it will be all in vain if he loses it.
"Think about it yourself, we don't have much time, we need to get out of here right away." The leader of the guards scolded.
With the ability of the fat-headed merchant himself, there is no way to get out of the snowy mountain, there are still dozens of miles away from the nearest city, and there will be no calm on this road, even if he will not encounter polar violent bears, there are many ordinary fourth-order monsters.
One of the guards said, "I've heard that whoever picks up a scourge tablet will always follow him, unless he gives it away and the person who gives it is willing to accept it. ”
The face of the leader of the guards changed, how could anyone be willing to accept the Scourge, in this case, the fat-headed merchant was destined not to follow them on the road.
At the time of life and death, the fat-headed merchant finally figured it out, he was a very wealthy businessman himself, although he coveted the wealth that the natural disaster stone tablet could bring, but his own life was more important.
Encountering polar bears and blizzards one after another, he also believed in the doom of the natural disaster slate in his heart.
At this time, Su Yang opened his mouth and said, "If you want to give it away, you might as well send it to me, I won't be on the same road with you anyway." ”
Worried that no one was willing to take over the Cataclysmic Slate, the fat-headed merchant nodded busily, and stuffed the Calamity Slate into Su Yang's hand, and several other players looked hot, as players, they were not afraid of the so-called bad luck, the Cataclysmic Slate would definitely be worth a lot of money.
Now that Su Yang is known for his murder, he has also shown his strength when dealing with the polar violent bear, and the slate is in his hands, and no one else dares to have too many ideas.
Scourge: A broken slate, I don't know how many pieces it broke into, with a long history of writing recorded on it, and it is said that whoever gets the slate will be followed by bad luck until he is killed by bad luck, and the slate is obtained by the next person. (Once the owner dies, this item will be dropped)
It is another item that must be dropped when you die, this thing has a terrifying legend that has been circulating in the north for a long time, it must be a very rare thing, Su Yang is not too interested in the secret behind it, and wants to know what price this thing can be sold for in Sin City.
One is a cursed city, the other is a stone tablet that will bring bad luck, and I think the former is a little more powerful, a natural disaster stone tablet should not make any waves in Sin City.
Separated from this group, Su Yang embarked on a journey in the direction they gave, from here to Sin City, there are still two mountains to climb, and it will not be lonely on the way, there is Xiao Hei, a talker who keeps providing topics, it has never been to the north, and it is also very curious about the natural disaster slate.
"I think I've seen this pattern somewhere." Xiao Hei muttered quietly, and Su Yang asked about the origin of the pattern, but it couldn't remember anything.
