Chapter 012: The Dungeon
After restoring the scroll into the ring space, Gauldos found a staff of bone with a strange shape.
The shape of this staff is more peculiar than odd. It is an atypical necromancer-style bone staff, the grip is carefully polished from the bones of some creature, one end of the bone staff is attached to the head of the sheep-headed beast, and the size of the bone staff has been greatly reduced due to the soak in potion, the length is no more than 40 centimeters, and it weighs only 3 pounds.
While holding the staff, Gaudus could feel a rough touch like frost, apparently due to a non-slip design concept. And then, there was the feeling of scattered mana scattered throughout the body speeding up the flow and trickling down, and it was obvious that this staff also had the effect of speeding up the recovery of mana.
The properties are as follows:
γRay. Field's Staff of Bone]
[Introduction: Ray. Field's first attempt to make a bone staff was a success, and it was clear that he had succeeded from a craft and utility standpoint. γ
[Type: One-handed, short-handled staff.] γ
[Grade: Blue.] γ
[Condition: Excellent.] γ
[Equipment requirements: none.] γ
[Enchantment Effect 1, Weak Mana Stirring: Passive, slightly increases the recovery speed of mana.] γ
[Enchantment Effect 2, Weak Undead Power: Passive, the staff has a weak undead power attached to it, which makes you slightly reduce the mana cost required to cast the spell when you cast undead magic.] γ
[Enchantment Effect 3, Accelerated Cast: Passive, slightly increases your cast speed.] γ
Thunder. Field is the name of the old necromancer.
I have to say that Gauldos's luck is really too good, and this is the third piece of blue equipment.
The grade is still secondary, the key is the 3 enchantment effects, which are too suitable for the profession and identity of the high-doth necromancer.
The biggest problem that Gaudus has at the moment is that he lacks mana. Mana is a property that cannot be displayed in the personal panel, but it is real, and casting magic will inevitably consume mana, such as Gados, who awakened 5 dominant skeletons in the graveyard of the Black Forest, and his mana was close to exhaustion.
However, the enchantment effect of this staff is too perfect, 1 can speed up mana regeneration, 2 can reduce the cost of undead magic casting, although as mentioned in the introduction, it only slightly speeds up recovery and reduces consumption, but it can be regarded as relieving the urgent need of Gao Duos.
But mitigation is ultimately a relief, not a solution. The most fundamental solution is to increase the upper limit of one's own magic power.
There are many ways to increase the maximum amount of mana, one of which is to increase the level of the mage class, the higher the level, the stronger the mana.
The second, which is the most important and commonly used one, is [Meditation], which can increase your maximum mana cap at an extremely slow rate and speed up your mana recovery during this time.
There is no doubt that Gaudus is in dire need of the skill of "meditation", and one of the feet of Lady Luck is also on his side, and in this ring, there is also a second scroll: [Basic Meditation].
[Scroll: Improved Basic Meditation Lv 1]
[Author: Lei. Field. γ
[Introduction: The most basic meditation method is the basic skill that every mage must learn. Field's improvements, which have improved the effect of meditation slightly. γ
[Effect: After entering the meditation state, speed up your mana recovery and slowly increase your maximum mana limit.] γ
[Learning requirements: Have a mage profession.] γ
[Basic Meditation] is a basic method that every mage practitioner must learn, even Sandru is no exception, it is like a wisp of roots, although it is neither gorgeous nor inconspicuous, but it is the root of a big tree's flourishing branches, and it is indispensable.
And "Modified Basic Meditation" is a boon for new mages. Gaudus still remembers that in the game, with the same mage class and the same amount of playtime, the new mage who has mastered the improved version of [Basic Meditation] can release 5-6 spells, while those who have mastered the original version can only release 4-5.
The difference is obvious.
At this time, Gao Duosi also felt a little emotional, the old necromancer who accompanied him through his childhood. Field, whose paranoia and madness are deep in his bones, is undoubtedly a genius. Whether it's "Flesh Armor" or "Improved Basic Meditation", they all show his remarkable creativity and outstanding talent. Although Gaudus still held a grudge against him, he still felt a little sorry for his fall.
That's all for the ring.
All in all, the harvest can be said to be quite good, and Gaudus even found the feeling of excitement when he first started to get into the game, went to great lengths to open a dungeon, and finally opened the treasure chest and exploded a bunch of items, but the difference is that the excitement is more real now... After all, all of this is no longer the data code entered by the programmer, but something that actually exists in the hand.
NPCs are real, magic, they are real, professions are real, and this world is real.
Gauldos gathered all his belongings and commanded his Skeleton Domination to continue clearing the ruins.
Finally, most of the day passed, and as the sun set, all the ruins were turned upside down, and Gaudus found only a few gold coins, about 100 of them, which was a small fortune.
Now that everything he needed was in hand, Gaudus had no attachment to this place.
It's time to leave, too.
But at this moment, Alice suddenly shouted, "What is this?" β
Gaudus walked over and noticed several cracks in the marble floor beneath Alice's feet, and there seemed to be air currents flowing through them.
Could it be that the floor is hollow?
To confirm this suspicion, Gaudus tapped his fingers lightly on the floor, and sure enough, there was a crisp sound.
Gaudus picked up a granite brick and slammed it into the marble floor, and half a minute later, the floor was smashed to pieces, revealing a deep dark hole.
Could it be that there is another mystery down here?
Gauldoth's brain immediately began to run wildly, and in the world of "Sword and Sorcery", there are countless hidden dungeons, which are either active with a large number of monsters, or hide countless mechanisms, or arrange puzzles for players to solve. If you can reach the end of the dungeon despite all dangers, then the surviving adventurers will reap great benefits.
Skill scrolls, ability books, weapons, equipment, potions, and even baby pets in their infancy.
Is this tunnel entrance connected to a dungeon?
But in his memory, there was no such dungeon on the northern border of Savoy. You know, this game has been deeply explored by players, and the country of Savoy is full of curious footsteps of players, and there are no secrets in every corner, so why have I never heard of this dungeon?
Gauldos commanded a dominant skeleton into the mouth of the tunnel, and used the soul connection to gain its vision. Since this is an unknown dungeon, there are bound to be unknown risks, no matter how cautious you are, you should be.
The dominant skeleton tore through the shattered floor tiles and entered the dark tunnel mouth, stepping on the rough stone steps and sloping down the tunnel towards the interior of the dungeon.
Based on past experience, the part of the tunnel that connects to the dungeon, the walls on both sides, the steps on the ground, and even the ceiling overhead are the best places to install the traps. He was once pierced through the chest by a poisoned arrow shot from a wall mechanism, and finally spent some money to hire a high-level priest player to get rid of the poison.
Although I have such worries in my heart, after all, it is just a skeleton that stepped on the thunder. After 5 minutes, it had walked through the long tunnel, stepping on each step and slamming the walls on either side, but it didn't trigger the trap.
That's good news.
After passing through the tunnel, it was greeted by a square hall.
The hall is dimly lit and basically in a state where you can't see your fingers, but due to the characteristics of the undead creature that dominates the skeleton and has good night vision, everything it sees is monotonous black and white, so the pitch-black environment is no longer a problem.
Under the control of Gauldos, the Dominant Skeleton wandered around the hall, carefully observing the situation.
The hall was unusually quiet, except for the faint sound of air currents. Nothing was found except for the scattered cobwebs in the corners, dozens of decaying bones, and the carapaces of a few small insects.
An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Gao Duo's heart, and he subconsciously ran towards the entrance, but at this moment, a huge spider web fell from the sky, directly surrounding the dominant skeleton. Gauldos controlled the skeleton to look up, only to see a huge spotted spider hanging upside down with spider silk, suddenly appearing above its head!
The dominant skeleton struggled desperately, trying to break free from the cobweb, but to no avail, the webs tightened and tightened, tying its entire body together, unable to break free at all.
The spotted spider shook its body, and the swaying of the spider silk reached the skeleton. Its pair of red compound eyes that shimmered with an eerie glow reflected the images of hundreds of skeletons, as if observing the strange prey with interest, like a flower cat, examining the mouse clutched in the palm of its hand.
But it soon discovers that the prey does not have the taste it likes, and does not seem to taste good, and immediately loses patience.
It opened its sharp mouthparts and ripped off the head that dominated the skeleton!
In front of Goddos's eyes, the black and white vision of the dominant skeleton quickly distorted, and then with the rapid weakening and dissipation of the soul connection, the thing in front of him quickly shrank into a point and disappeared.
Gaudus looked at the mouth of the tunnel and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This turned out to be a "caveman demon".
