Act32 Undercurrent III.
"That's right."
Gross, the leader of the bandits, narrowed his eyes, but he didn't immediately agree to Oliver's proposal, because in the corner of his vision, he could already see a group of patrolling soldiers approaching—
The column of soldiers stopped beside the middle-aged man, and Gross noticed his fat and large belly, and on the man's left hand, the fat maggot-like fingers also carried two shining gemstone rings, and his right hand was around the girl's waist, and the beautiful girl could be heard laughing.
Heavy and vague feet......
It's just a standard fat sheep - Gross knows very well where the Rael they have come from, and to be honest, he does have a will.
Miss Lady Radia was standing beside him, her eyes full of worry—the bandit leader had told her about their status as outcasts, and now, she was finally somewhat convinced.
The soldier at the head was talking to the middle-aged man.
Gross pricked up his ears.
"Larry, there are a couple of untouchables over there staring at me. I know they're trying to steal my ring - go get them! ”
"Mr. Rawls, according to the Kingdom Code, conjecture alone cannot be condemned. Also, Lord Collector Cole has asked me to tell you that the Earl is now in town, so that you should stop being so ostentatious. ”
The soldier's face was expressionless like a hard stone, and the tone of his voice was completely businesslike.
"Well, for my dear brother-in-law's sake, I'll let those untouchables go this time......"
……
"Untouchables? Is that fat pig talking about us? ”
Levine heard it too, and he looked around him, but there were not many people at this time.
"Probably yes, so I hate those nobles."
"That guy isn't a nobleman."
Gross watched the middle-aged man walk away with the girl in his arms, he retracted his gaze, and then said - the ancestors of the Elantra Kingdom established the country and expanded the territory with strong force, and the nobles have always had some martial traditions. Although they have been decayed and degenerate in the crescent year after the "Fog Pine War", it is undoubtedly a joke for a powerless guy to say that he is a nobleman.
Even if the son of the concubine came unexpectedly because of fornication, the excellence of his own bloodline and the basic martial arts cultivation are very easy to complete the inauguration - in comparison, these things are much more difficult for civilians, so in some ignorant and backward places in the Elantre Kingdom, the legend of the right of the first night is still retained.
Gross quickly put the scene behind him, and he still remembered his plan.
The group was not slow on foot, and after about half an hour, they came to Pine Cone Lane—a familiar architectural style, a familiar exterior decoration, and Gross walked into the blacksmith's shop first, and he saw the equally familiar interior.
A stone house that is quite old, with a counter to greet guests on the left, a display shelf for goods on the right, displaying all kinds of weapons, armor, shields, etc., except for crossbows, and at the bottom is the blacksmiths' workshop, where two stoves and several anvils are placed according to memory—but by this time the blacksmiths have returned home and can no longer hear the sound of "clanging" forging.
"Welcome."
A languid, magnetic voice rang out from behind the counter, and Gross saw a chaise longue - the woman on the chaise longue had already stood up, she put down the scroll in her hand, and Gross glanced at the cover of the scroll, "The Brave Knight and the Dragon".
There is no doubt that this is a novel concocted by a bard. Gross had roughly skimmed this novel in the game in his previous life, and the content told above was that of a human knight who went through thousands of hardships in order to save his beloved princess, and finally challenged the evil dragon to successfully return to the story of the beauty, which looks very inspirational and enthusiastic-
However, the dragon in the scroll is named Tiamat, and in the world of Illuson, this is an ancient dragon with 180 combat levels and a world boss template, completely beyond the limits of players and human natives, and is a god-like existence - if you want to challenge it alone, you will probably be sprayed into ashes by a mouthful of dragon breath before you have even met it.
This woman, he knows very well - one of the "Big Three" in Pinecone Lane, a silverleaf town, Pona of the blacksmith shop, loves nothing more than reading knightly novels and selling her ancestral dragon slaying spear. However, he will not be fooled!
"Is there anything you need?"
Bona stood behind the counter and said, at this time the blacksmith was only a few customers, Gross and the only customers, seeing their humble attire, this woman decided that they were just a bunch of unruly mercenaries - not a good customer for the blacksmith shop, but it was not bad to be able to earn some rael, so she barely bred up her spirits to greet her.
"Let's take a look."
Gross didn't answer her, he knew the other party's character very well, if he followed this woman's routine, he had to turn the topic around the legendary ancestral dragon slayer gun - this "dragon slaying gun" is priced at one million raels, if it is genuine, it can actually be said to be good and cheap. But in fact? Gross remembers very well that in the later stages of the game, a local tyrant player was bored for a while, and in order to verify the authenticity, he really took out a million rael......
The end? It can be regarded as handing over a sky-high IQ tax.
What's more, now his property is still far, far away from a million raels, which is already more than the total tax revenue of the Elantt Kingdom in a year in the year of the new moon.
Gross took a deep breath, and he made up his mind to pick up the cargo according to his plan - he needed a good shield, a good armor that would suffice. And the needs of the companions are...... His fingers raced over the display shelves of the goods.
The attributes of the items in the system are displayed one by one.
【Exquisite Iron Shield】
Physical defense plus 32.0;
Constitution plus 8.0;
This is an elaborate piece from the silverleaf town blacksmith shop that will provide you with effective protection.
In the combat setting of "Discord", because of the consideration of realistic factors, the protection value is not a fixed number: stretching the neck under the enemy's sword, even if you are wearing a god armor, the protection value provided by the equipment is zero, and holding up the shield to resist the attack, the protection value of the damage is calculated according to the highest value of the character's attributes, and if you use skills such as deflection and unloading, you will also get additional damage immunity.
Thinking about the battle he was planning in the near future, Gross didn't hesitate to remove the shield from the shelf. Then, he began to carelessly pick up other cargo, and in the battle he envisioned, only himself and Miss Mage Ladia were the absolute workhorses.
