Chapter 13 Impermanence of Vientiane
(I'm going to go to Nanchang later, yesterday was the fourth watch, and today is only the first watch in the morning.) Come back tomorrow. )
--------------------------------------
Just a distance of more than a dozen meters.
It took Sauron more than half an hour, and the biggest headache about the trap was not how to get rid of it, but the fact that you couldn't be sure where it would hide. Especially this kind of one-hit trap, many times you are risking with your head in your hand, and even the slightest carelessness can kill you. That's why many professionals prefer to find a secure job rather than explore underground ruins.
"Now!"
The perception of 15 points made Sauron very aware of danger, and with his previous experience, he carefully used a dagger to pry open an irregular stone from the corner of the wall, and sure enough, a complex shooting device appeared in it. There is also a contactor buried in the ground, and if an adult weighs about enough to step on it, it will activate the trigger of the front firing device, and three or more crossbow bolts will be fired from the wall.
"One, two, three, four, five, six! ……”
Sauron couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat, secretly glad that he was careful enough, this was actually a multi-repeater trap, if he accidentally hit it, he would have to be shot into a sieve. Unless he was heavily armoured, it would be possible to stop such a powerful crossbow. If he remembered correctly, the single lethality of this crossbow trap was about 12 points, and if he didn't hit the vital point, six crossbow bolts would be enough to kill him in an instant.
Click!
Sauron tapped the main trigger with his finger, then struck the iron bar with a dagger on the ground, this kind of trap is made of special steel, and after a simple enchantment, it usually does not rust and go wrong for decades. Some of the traps in the underground ruins are completely enchanted, and they are still deadly after hundreds of years buried underground!
Bang bang bang.
Six bolts shot out, sinking into the wall on the other side.
Ignoring the dust on his face, Sauron dug out the shooting device inside, and immediately followed his memory to find the location of the trap.
A toucher, a shooting device, and a crossbow trap device.
"Good stuff!"
A smile appeared on Sauron's face, and he disassembled them into parts and put them in, and thieves didn't just set traps with their eyes closed. Even if it is a legendary thief, you can't set a trap without the right materials, and if you buy a strong crossbow trap material like this from the Shadow Mask, don't even think about it without thirty or fifty kindlers!
After all, this is a trap device that is enough to kill a soldier below class level 5 in an instant.
A row of numbers jù emerges:
"Clearing the trap successfully."
"Your Rogue skills are improved and you gain 21o Class XP."
Experienced in dismantling professional traps and demanding more skill from thieves, Sauron put away the rest, but assembled the powerful ballista device. It wasn't an ordinary crossbow, it was a box for shooting crossbow arrows, and after Sauron dug out six crossbow arrows and reloaded them, he only needed to pull the trigger in the box to shoot six crossbow arrows in one go.
This device can't shoot in a single shot, it must be fully loaded, and you need six crossbow bolts at a time!
After all, this is not a properly built crossbow.
Sauron dismantled a trap and moved on, it looked like there was just a strong acid trap that had been touched by the hapless thief.
The price of the strong acid trap is higher, and it will take about a hundred kindler to set up!
This is because there is a possibility that a magic touch device will be used.
The cave behind it became crooked, and at the same time, Sauron was a little more relaxed, it was very difficult to set traps in this environment, and it was easy to be touched by rats and the like, so there should be no traps here. However, he did not dare to take it lightly, and still proceeded cautiously, until a hidden stone gate appeared in front of him.
Squeak!
After making sure there were no traps on the stone door, Sauron gently pushed it open.
"Whew!"
A gust of wind blew, and Sauron suddenly felt a chill in his back, and without hesitation, he slashed his weapon backwards, only to see a hazy shadow emerge, a miserable smile appeared on the hideous grimace, and a strange scream disappeared in place.
"Ghosts?!"
Sauron cautiously leaned against the wall and pulled out the holy water.
Ghosts are spirit-like beings that can't be harmed by regular non-enchanted weapons, not even a hundred slashes from Sauron while standing.
They can only be dealt with by other people's means.
"Boom!"
An eerie laugh emerges, and the phantom of the ghost reappears.
It makes a high-pitched howl, which is one of its natural abilities, a low-level [Howl of the Dead] effect, which has the power of magic-like 'Fear Technique', and if it is a timid person, it will be instantly frightened.
Sauron's eardrums hurt, but there was not the slightest fear in his heart, and he smashed the holy water with his backhand.
Bang dang!
The holy water sprinkled all over the ghost's body, and suddenly a terrible scream sounded, and the ghost's figure flew away, turning into a cloud of shadows and disappearing.
"Fortunately, I was prepared."
Sauron wiped a cold sweat and picked up a small black stone on the ground.
It's a ghost's soul fragment!
Pure spirit life has the potential to transform into a material structure when it dissipates, and it is such a soul fragment, which is a common charging material.
The necromancers loved it.
The price is about fifteen kindlers!
The challenge level of the ghost is level five, and there is nothing to restrain it in his hand, so it is useless to come as many people as he comes.
Because it is not afraid of physical attacks at all.
However, if you bring items such as holy water, an ordinary person can kill them, which is one of the most difficult and easy creatures to deal with.
A row of numbers jù emerges:
"Holy water hits the ghost, dealing 6o damage."
"Death to the target!"
"Extract the target's soul energy and gain 12o experience points."
Sauron's experience was enough to increase a Rogue level, but he didn't.
Because the difficulty of obtaining Killing Experience is too high, this experience is generally used to improve advanced professions and part-time abilities, and there is no need to use valuable Killing Experience before Thief Level 5. If he encounters other traps, he can level up by demolishing one or two more, and if he has the opportunity to work part-time, killing experience is the most valuable thing.
Squeak!
Sauron pushed open the stone door of the chamber.
Many of the things inside were covered in dust, and there were some books on the walls, but they were all damaged.
There are cobwebs on all sides, and rat holes in the corners.
It's been abandoned for a long time.
Directly in front of it was a stone table with many bits and pieces, such as an unknown skull, a broken finger bone, an air-dried bat carcasse, and a black wooden box.
"No weapons, no magic devices."
There was a hint of disappointment in Sauron's eyes, there seemed to be nothing of value in this chamber, except for the wooden box that didn't know what it contained.
He touched it lightly, and when he was sure there were no traps, he carefully picked it up.
"Seems to be Ironwood?"
Sauron looked around, holding the box in the palm of his hand, away from his head, and then pried it open with a dagger.
He couldn't tell if there would be a magic trap inside.
But if you want to come to such a low-level treasure cave, there shouldn't be so many traps, but it's better to stay away from your head.
Click!
Sauron pried open the box in front of him, and there were three cards inside.
As if it didn't fit in with the surrounding qiē, the three cards were so exquisite, with Mithril lace inlaid with fine diamonds, and in the center was a swirl-like magic pattern, which attracted all people's eyes at a glance. This seems to be something that can be made under the current civilization at all, and even the temple's divine power badge is not so beautiful.
Sauron's face showed an expression of surprise or concern, as he had a legendary-level magic item in his hand.
- "Impermanence in all things?!" ”
This is a treasure left over from the Arcane Empire, and is said to be the boring work of a legendary Arcanist.
There are 1o8 cards in total, and each one has a special magical power that can bring you unimaginable benefits or disaster.
No one knows what the Impermanence card will bring!
Some people were overwhelmed by the 10,000 Arcane Gold coins that fell from the sky after opening the card, and others were confronted with a powerful lightning bolt after opening it.
"Item identification!"
Sauron tried to activate the number jù flow in his brain, and soon a row of small words appeared:
"Vientiane Impermanence Card [Legendary Item] *3: A gadget left over from the Arcane Empire period, it is the highest achievement of alchemy in the previous era, and it will be an incredible thing when you open it."
(It is said that drawing an ace can give you unimaginable power!) )
Do you want to open it?
Solon looked embarrassed, and finally gritted his teeth and pulled out a card, biting his fingertips and dripping a drop of blood.
The front and back of the card are the same, and the card can only be opened with blood, and no one knows what the card represents until it is opened, even the legendary wizard has no way to predict it.
A faint light emerged.
The first card of Impermanence of Vientiane rippled like a ripple after absorbing Sauron's blood, and then the central vortex began to emerge, and the first to appear was a treasure trove with countless gold coins and gems piled up. This image made Sauron extremely excited, as it meant that he had probably drawn a 'Treasure Card'.
But.
Immediately a lewd figure appeared at the gate of the treasure house, holding a bag and desperately filling the treasure.
"No!"
Sauron's face instantly fell, he knew what he had drawn.
- "Thief! ”
A light appeared on the open card of Impermanence, and then an incomparably obscene phantom appeared, he laughed strangely, an ancient alchemical rune appeared in his palm, and in the blink of an eye, all the valuable things on Sauron's body were stolen, except for the three cards in his hand, even his clothes were stolen.
A hint of wind blows!
Sauron shivered on the spot, his whole body naked.
Weapons, clothes, gold coins, holy water, tools, everything on Sauron's body disappeared into thin air, and even the ironwood box in his hand was gone, leaving only three cards of Impermanence.
The wind blows.
Butt cool!
