Chapter 160: The Cold Plain

Considering that it was the first time for Djeru and the others to take an adventure, Memphira had to make some arrangements before leaving. Rodhart is primarily responsible for all aspects of the team's adventures, while Djeru is responsible for the development of believers. Three hundred gold coins were left for them as development funds.

Monfila handed over his map to the crowd. He found that although Miles was a bit introverted, he had a strong sense of direction, so he put him in charge of recording the route of his daily movements, and copied him a sketch of the neighborhood of Rog City that he had obtained.

When he waved goodbye to everyone, he found that the classes of these newcomers seemed to have been divided. The black-faced brothers, because they awakened to the mercenary template, are now obviously standing further back alone, probably because they feel a little inferior.

Meng Feila's heart moved, and he walked over and patted them on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, work hard, as long as you make outstanding contributions to the Holy Spirit Sect, under the light of the Holy Spirit, it is not impossible to be promoted from a mercenary to a professional." ”

The two of them were immediately ecstatic, and their devotion immediately rose to the level of "worship". I've never heard of this kind of direct upgrade from mercenaries to awakened ones, but they've seen the magic of Memphira, and maybe it can really be realized.

Separately embarking on their journeys, Monfila followed the simple map and walked in the direction of the "Icy Plain" with Kaori.

Kaori was very happy, the gloomy sky of the blood wasteland became bright in her heart, and the smell of the gray grass became fragrant, because now she finally realized the most ideal state of adventure in her heart, that is, only herself and her beloved together, soaring freely in the vast world.

Memphira is also very pleasant, since returning to Rog City, there are a lot of things to do, and there are various arrangements every day. He's actually a person who is very afraid of trouble, but he has to deal with it when he is in it. Especially the awakening of these teenagers in the slums, which made him consume a lot of brain cells.

Now that it's finally done, after putting on the cloak of the church, with the efforts of this first batch of newcomers, this kind of thing will gradually get on the right track in the future. He only needs to put in a small amount of energy, he can gain a large number of men, and he can even form his own army in the future.

Due to the lack of Paladin's aura support, the efficiency of killing monsters between the two of them has decreased slightly compared to when they were with Rodhart. However, due to Kaori's promotion and Monfila's promotion to level seven, they have learned a lot of new skills, and the efficiency of gaining experience is not much lower.

At level seven, Monfila learned the "Corpse Explosion" skill, which is the necromancer's signature skill, just like "Skeleton Resurgence". Either way, this skill is a must-learn.

Corpse Explosion: Causes the selected corpse to explode, dealing damage to all nearby enemies.

As the skill level increases, the range of explosion damage and the amount of mana consumed increases.

At present, due to the attribute of "+2 Necromancer Skill Level" of Monfila's "Hell Tools" set, the corpse explosion is level 3, the explosion range is 3.3 yards, and the mana consumption is 17 points.

It is said that necromancers created this skill through long-term research into the mysterious power between life and death, and by instantly unleashing the anger and despair of corpses at the time of death.

According to Memphira's experience, when the game is single-hard, the corpse explosion skill can deal 60%-100% damage to the corpse's own health, which is against the sky.

As long as you create a corpse first, a skill may make the same type of enemies around you fall, and the new corpse will form a continuous explosion, and the instantaneous super output will make the monster fall to the ground in pieces, and the efficiency of clearing monsters is extremely high.

However, after testing, the effect of this skill in the real world is a bit unsatisfactory.

During the adventure, it was discovered that the real-world monsters are eight times more difficult or even higher, mainly in terms of health.

And the current skill damage is calculated according to the maximum value of the corpse's life when it is singled.,That is,The damage is only about 13% of the monster's overall blood volume.。

The Corpse Explosion skill deals half of the damage dealt by the Physical Damage and Half of the Fire Damage. If you add the "Damage Amplification" curse to a monster, it will double the physical damage effect in it, and eventually deal about 20% of its health.

I tried Kaori's "static force field" skill at level 6 again, which was originally also a monster farming skill.

Static Force Field: All enemies within radius lose 25% of their current life.

The mana cost is fixed at 9, and the attack range can be increased when the skill level increases. At level 1, the attack range is also 3.3 yards.

On the game's Nightmare difficulty, monsters' health can be reduced to 33% by constantly using static fields! And in Hell difficulty, it can also be reduced to below 50% before losing the effect, which is a magic skill that deducts blood proportionally.

However, after experimenting with multiple monsters, Monfila found that this skill was also limited in reality, as it could only be used once on the same monster, and could not be used consecutively.

If the monster's health is full, it can instantly reduce its total HP by 25%, and it will be useless to use it later; If the monster takes other damage first, it can only deduct 25% of the remaining HP when using the static force again, and it only takes effect once.

Kaori is very happy with the effect of the new skill, because the health of the monsters they encounter is too long, and a one-time loss of 25% is very considerable. Meng Feila spit out and complained, after all, this degree of weakening is much better than the explosion of the corpse.

After experimenting with new skills, the two of them made their way in the direction of the Icy Plains. If you encounter a monster on the road, you can dodge, after all, the experience value of ordinary monsters in the Blood Wasteland has been reduced a little, and his main purpose is to hurry.

The journey accompanied by beautiful women was very comfortable, but fortunately, the light bulb took the initiative to leave, and Memphira finally lived a two-person world.

His relationship with Kaori has steadily risen, and since they kissed affectionately before leaving for Rog City, some time ago because there were too many people around, Monfila couldn't taste red lips again. Now it's okay, every day I kiss and hug and lift high, Kaori's temperament is very docile, and she won't refuse.

However, the two still slept in their respective tents every night, and the development was not so fast. Although Kaori likes him very much, she is still more traditional. Monfila didn't want to knock the chick down in a humble environment in the middle of nowhere, that would be too hasty.

Kaori grew more and more smiling, and as soon as Monfila teased her a little, the silver bell-like laughter would resound in the wilderness, dispelling the gloomy clouds in the sky, and making Monfila happy every day, and the adventurous journey turned into an outing.

The two rarely delayed on the road, and kept the fastest speed to hurry. After the sixth day of solitary action, they finally saw a small dark city at the end of their vision, "Icy Outpost"!

*-*

Bursts of heat emanated from the roaring fireplace, layers of foam bubbled from the freshly served cider wine, and the surrounding noisy people were extremely noisy.

Sitting at a table not far from the fireplace, Monfila couldn't help but take off her coat. Kaori sat next to her, unbuttoning her hood and eating the food on the table in small bites, frowning slightly.

Meng Feila also put down the wine glass and tasted it, "I'm dizzy, how much salt is put in this, it's far worse than what you do." But it's really warm here, so let's sit for a while and at least have a glass of wine before we leave. ”

This is the "Adventurer's House", the largest tavern in the middle of the town of "Icy Outpost". After Meng Feila and Kaori entered the city, they found that the area of this small city was indeed not large, not to mention Rog City, which was more than half smaller than Black Earth Town.

The "Icy Outpost" sits on the border of the Blood Wastes and the Icy Plains, and is estimated by Monfila to be the location of the game's Rog archer "Flavi".

Unlike Black Soil Town, where there are farmland suitable for reclamation, the population of the city is mainly Awakened, and ordinary people only exist as waiters for some storefronts.

After the two entered the city, they took a turn, and Monfila felt that this place was more like the "Camp Rog" in the game, mainly used to provide a temporary habitat for adventurers in the icy plains, and at the same time used for messaging and the transit of supplies.

There are no large buildings in the town, and there are only a few large supply shops and a few similar taverns in the center of the town. It's so cold on the icy plains that it's a great treat to sit around the fire in a tavern and brag about it when you're back in town after your adventure.

Two days before the two men approached the icy outpost in Memphira, they felt the climate turn colder. After entering the icy outpost, the cold feeling came even more.

When Monfila entered the tavern, she was so attracted by the blazing fireplace that she was even a little too lazy to move. Kaori looked at his lazy appearance and couldn't help but smile: "We have been in a hurry before, just to come to this noisy tavern to rest?" It's been almost a month since I came out of Rog City, and I haven't gained any experience points. ”

Meng Feila pursed her lips, Kaori looked so delicate and lovely, why was she a leveling maniac!

"Okay, okay, I know, I'm just talking. Just have another drink, let's go, go to see what monsters are in the cold field first, and come back to rest when you are tired of playing. ”

"It's not about playing, it's about going on adventures!" Kaori flicked his head and said coquettishly.

Meng Feila poured down two glasses of fruit wine, he couldn't eat the food on the table, it was too salty, he snapped his fingers and beckoned the guy to settle the bill, and suddenly heard a loud voice in the center of the tavern shouting: "Hans's team is short of two people, is there a temporary number to make up, and I will be back in about twenty days." ”

"Hans, how come there are so few people in your team, is there something wrong?" A few drinkers at the table next to him asked, and the lively atmosphere in the tavern was also sluggish.

"Not really, we've always been very cautious and don't take risks. Yes, after returning here yesterday, Jessica received a letter from home that she needed to go back to Rog City, and Theodore was relieved to go back with her. I guess it will take about 20 days to come and go, and I can't wait here. ”

"Then you guess you'll have to wait, going to the Cold Plains is basically a fixed team, and it's not easy to find someone temporarily. Why don't you go back to the Blood Wasteland and look for zombie trouble? Mosquito legs are also meat. ”

Everyone agreed, and the big man named Hans shook his head, called out a few more times, and found that no one stood up, and sat down stupidly and continued to drink. It seems that no one else in this tavern is a loner like Monfila.

Monfila was a little moved to find out what was going on. If they had a proper team, they would be safer on the adventure. Kaori patted him as he was about to speak, and shook her head slightly.

After leaving the tavern, the cold air came to my face, and the warmth just now was simply two worlds. Monfila also put on her hood, and Kaori held his arm tightly.

"They just lack two people, we can also take care of them after we join, it should be safer, why stop me?" Memphera asked.

"I think it's nice to go on an adventure alone with you, just like the other day. I don't want people I don't know to bother us. Kaori rested her head on Monfera's shoulder.

This reason Monfila couldn't refuse, he was still a young man, but he couldn't say anything about worrying that he wouldn't be able to protect his little girlfriend's safety.

Of course, he also considered that it might be safer to team up with others to face monsters, but he might also need to face threats from behind. Both have their pros and cons, and since Kaori is unwilling, let's live a two-person world.

*-*

The first night spent in the Icy Plains left a very bad impression on Memphira, as he was awakened by freezing.

After leaving the city with Kaori at noon yesterday, the two of them randomly chose a direction to move forward and redrew the map with the icy outpost as the starting point.

The result may be that this place is too close to the city, and the surrounding area has been cleaned up several times by those awakened people in the tavern, and not a single monster has been encountered in half a day's effort.

The weather in the Icy Plains was very different from the Blood Wasteland, and the air was no longer so humid, but became unusually dry and cold. This is climate change, which does not conform to the laws of nature, but it is very common in other worlds.

When setting up the tent at night, Memphira lit a large fire in the open space between the two tents, but when he woke up in the morning, he found that the fire had been frozen out at some point. He was a northerner before he crossed, and he really didn't resist frost.

Ever since he had been running and killing people in the middle of the night, he had found that he was very energetic even if he didn't sleep at night and the next day, which he could only attribute to the hidden effect of the "rudimentary occult technique". But as a normal person, I definitely want to get a good night's sleep every day, and it's really distressing to wake up early.

It was estimated that there would be an hour or so before the sun came out, and before Kaori woke up, Monfila began to ponder the monsters on the cold plains.

Based on her experience in the game, Monfila knew that there were five types of monsters in the Cold Plains, and that the Sinking Demon, the Sinking Demon Wizard, and the Giant Beast had all been encountered before, as well as the "Dark Hunter" and "Dark Gunslinger".

The latter two belong to the "Fallen Lorge", and they are monsters that were created by the demonic energy of hell when they first invaded.

Unable to resist the erosion, their broken souls were constantly transformed into hellish demons by the demonic energy of hell, wielding their weapons and slashing at their former comrades, only to be wiped out by the awakened ones, suffering forever in the endless cycle of life.
