Chapter 120: Sandru's Life
Adric and Yolande felt that the two of them had encountered too much of the incredibleness today, except for shock and shock. If it weren't for the down-and-out appearance of these two boys in Black Earth Town before, Adric even suspected that these two people were descendants of a big family, and they were still the kind with heir qualifications!
After learning that the three of them more or less had green equipment or dark gold equipment, Yolande thought for a while, and finally said: "I have an old friend who opened a small blacksmith shop in the city, I will look for it when I go back, his mouth is stricter, there should be no problem." ”
Meng Feila said: "In fact, it is not a big problem after it is exposed, you can rest assured, there will be more and more of these things in the future, and we will all have a full set of superb equipment." ”
He felt that there should be nothing else to do for the time being, so he made an appointment to meet here again every two days, and then gave Adric a thousand gold coins to let him go about his errands.
The remaining gold coins were divided into four equal parts, with each of the three Monfila taking one and the extra one kept by Kaori as the team's daily funds to purchase necessary supplies for the adventure.
Yolande also got up, ready to go to find the old man who opened the blacksmith shop, and asked the three of them where they planned to go.
Monfila didn't have any plans, Rodhart said: "There's nothing in need of rushing back this time, Monfera, let's go and commemorate Sandru, and by the way, go back to the west of the city to have a look." I want to see what Jack's face is when that crump sees us! ”
Meng Feila understood his feelings, so she nodded in agreement. Kaori also wants to learn about Monfila's past and wants to follow along. Although Yolande wanted his granddaughter to follow him, he gave up when he heard her say this.
After the four of them went out together, they went their separate ways. Since Monfera's memories of the original owner were fragmented during the crossing, he really didn't remember the past, so he asked Rodhart to lead the way.
Rodhart decided to go to the place where Sandru had picked him up and Monfila, and then go back to the slums west of the city where he had grown up.
Because there was no need to hurry, the three of them walked easily along the way. While chatting, I also bought some snacks placed along the street to taste. Monphila is also carefully observing this exotic city, and before traveling, he occasionally uses his vacation to travel to other cities, and his favorite thing to do is to walk through the streets and alleys of the old town, taste some street snacks, and experience a different kind of customs.
Leaving the city gate, walking some distance along the moat, to a mediocre beach, Rodhart's expression visibly became heavy, and Monfila understood that this was the place where the two had been picked up by Sandru, and where he had left his only staff and potion.
Rodhart stood by the river and muttered to himself, presumably saying something. Then he sat down on a stone next to him and told the story of Sandru.
————————————
Rodhart and Memphera were once the bastards at the bottom of society. What is the bottom of society? Anyone can step on you, and you need to worry about filling your stomach all day long, and you are always in danger of starving or freezing to death or being killed by all kinds of people or strange things.
Both were orphans who never remembered their parents, and according to Sandru, an old gangster who had taken them in, they were both picked up by the moat.
At that time, Sandru was 22 years old, and he seized the opportunity to awaken from a gangster to a beginner level 1 necromancer, and followed a team of awakened people to practice for more than a month to level 2, learned to resurrect skeletons, and earned a few gold coins.
Rising from the bottom of society to a "rich man" (the biggest fortune Sandru had ever seen before he was 22 years old was two silver coins), Sandru thought he had a bright future, and he had the belief that he could become a hero like the legendary necromancer Sage "Tageo", and with the dream of defeating the forces of hell and saving all mankind.
After a long daydream, Sandru put away his saliva and went to fulfill the ambition he had maintained for more than ten years before he woke up: he went to the tavern in the south of Rogue City, and had a beautiful "feast": golden roasted pork leg with oil splashes, yellow bread with cream, and two large glasses of ale.
Never before had he eaten so much delicious food, Sandru was so satisfied. Full of warm thoughts**, after a gangster is rich and full, he does one thing he must do. It was in this "Hans Tavern in the south of the city" that Sandru ended his maiden career for the price of one gold coin.
The tavern's handsome maid made him spend an unforgettable night, and the next morning he returned to his nest in the slums west of the city with trembling legs and a wall that became the talk of his countless future bragging.
Those who had gone hungry had an almost paranoid possessiveness for food, and Sandru bought all the rest of the gold coins, bread, bacon, cheese, and all kinds of fruit wine. Anyway, the carry-on space after awakening can hold a lot of things and will not deteriorate. Unless you hang it yourself, you don't have to worry about others stealing it, it's safe.
After buying food, thinking that he would no longer have to worry about food for the rest of his life, Sandru relaxed and walked along the moat. The city of Rog was very large, and Sandru had walked a long way along the moat when he suddenly heard a baby's cry.
Following the sound, he found a little boy wrapped in sackcloth lying in the grass by the river, and strangely stopped crying when he saw him coming. With black hair and a round little face, he looked at him with big black eyes, grinning and giggling for a while.
Sandru's heart was melted all of a sudden, Qian Zhuang was bold, he now has confidence, so he wants to save this child, if he doesn't save it, then this child will definitely die.
Sandru took the child back, exchanged the food for some milk, and began to be a father and a mother, and the child was Memphira.
Soon, after adding the expenses of a little guy, Sandru's stock of food was quickly depleted. But now he has the confidence, he is a beginner awakened and can earn money. After entrusting the child to Mr. and Mrs. Sam, who run a small hotel on the next street, he went to the League of the Awoken in Dawning Square, found a small team, and ventured into the "Blood Wasteland" to strike gold.
Luckily, he was promoted to level 3 and received some gold coins, and Sandru returned to continue his career as a child. In the second year, he took the child in his arms and went to the place where he had picked up Monfila, and revisited the old place, only to find another baby, which was Rodhart.
One sheep is also raised, and two sheep are also released, and Sandru picked up Rodhart again and became the father of two abandoned babies.
Sandru can only go on adventures many times, with good luck and bad luck, some people who adventure with him died, but Sandru, a necromancer with a skeleton as a meat shield, is relatively less dangerous, and he has been a gangster since he was a child, and he is also more clever, plus there are two worries at home, so he is very careful, and he has survived.
However, his qualifications are limited, and he has not been able to break through after reaching level 5 with full experience, and he has never been able to comprehend, and he has no money to upgrade through other methods, so he has been at level 5.
Sandru is very satisfied, it doesn't matter if he can't break through, he has no worries about food and clothing now, as long as he can earn money to bring up his two children.
In this way, Monfila and Rodhart grew up in the slums and learned everything a thug should learn, but they were always kind-hearted and did not do evil, and their biggest dream was to become an awakened person like Sandru, to get out of this slum and venture into a wider world.
When Monfila and Rodhart were fifteen or sixteen years old, Sandru felt pressured to think about his children's future. These two young children can't just spend their days in the slums of Rogue City, then they won't have a future, if they are gone, maybe they will end up falling in a fight with the gangsters, or accidentally offend a big man who can't be provoked, and be silently thrown into the wilderness.
Since they both had the idea of becoming the Awakened, Sandru felt it was his duty to help them make their wish come true. He made a decision to venture to the most dangerous "evil cave" in the Blood Wastelands to get more money or find some necessary weapons and equipment to arm the two lads. Only with money can there be a chance to awaken, and only when you awaken can you become a master.
Sandru told Monfila and Rodhart about his thoughts, and the two boys were very happy, they had always dreamed of awakening, but they were also very worried about Sandru's safety.
Sandru smiled: "Don't worry, although my qualifications are not good, I can't break through level 6, but a level 5 necromancer is not much dangerous in the Blood Wasteland, I have 3 skeletons as meat shields, don't worry."
Sandru found a team of all level 5 and set off, everyone wants to try their luck in the evil cave, as long as you are careful not to run into the boss "corpse fire" and the elite in the cave, there will be no great danger. Besides, the corpse is not something you can touch if you want to touch it, and there has been no news of it for a long time.
Sandru returned a month later, bringing back a worn-out dagger and quietly handing it over to Rodhart, who had his dream of becoming a paladin. Sandru told Hart to keep it a secret, after all, there was no personal space to store things before awakening, and it was easy to be snatched by thugs on the street.
After two days of rest, Sandru set off again, perhaps because he had a premonition of some danger from his previous adventure, or because he had left something for the children, and he quietly went to the moat before setting off.
Unfortunately, or rather lucky, they encountered a corpse in the Evil Cave this time.
Just as a group of four adventurers defeated two zombies to clean up the battlefield, another wave of zombie footsteps and a low roar of the symbol came from a corner of the cave, and everyone hurriedly prepared for battle.
Eight high-level zombies surrounded a tall zombie with a blue glow.
"It's the corpse that is on fire! Damn, why are we so inch, we are not opponents, ready to withdraw! After the Hall of Skeletals, the mage is ready to slow down at any time with ice bombs! The temporary captain of the squad, the barbarian Zubin, yelled.
The barbarian Zubin, the male mage Siegel and the assassin Feige quickly retreated, and Sandru hurriedly commanded his three skeletons to face the zombies to block them slightly, and when he turned to run, Sandru suddenly saw the zombie corpse that he hadn't had time to touch before, and a dagger was exposed in the pool of blood next to him, which must have been the loot that had not had time to pick up just now.
"I'll rush over and pick it up and leave, Memphira still has a weapon left, zombies will definitely not be able to catch up, and skeletons can block it." Sandru thought so, and quickly lunged at the dagger.
"Damn, come back! You don't want to die! Zubin yelled, "Siegel, prepare spells, Sandru ahead!" ”
Before Sandru's three skeletons could rush to him, the corpse was on fire and with a wave of his hand, six minion zombies surrounded the skeleton in groups of two and two, picked up their arms and smashed them.
The corpse was angry and happy after seeing Sandru's movements, seeing that he was coming, this little necromancer didn't run, and wanted to pick up the bargain, could it be that Weiming couldn't stop these guys? If you want money, you don't want to die, so let's fulfill him.
The corpse moved much faster than the average zombie, and it came to Sandru's side in a few steps, giving him a claw.
Sandru's nervous heart was about to jump out of his chest, and his health value fell directly by half, which was too lethal, he quickly took out a bottle of light life potion and poured it into his mouth, the dagger was gone, and he turned around and ran backwards.
Sandru felt a biting chill all over his body, and the simple action of opening his legs became very difficult, and it was the "Cold Enhancement" attribute of the corpse's fire that came into play, and the cold ice attached to the attack greatly slowed down the enemy's speed. Sandru wanted to get back to his friends as soon as possible, but the usual short distance turned into a moat.
Siegel fired an ice bullet at the corpse, and although the opponent was immune to cold, the rhythm of his attack was interrupted, and his next claw did not slash Shan Dru.
"Run, run!"
Sandru was in ecstasy, his health had risen a little under the effect of the potion, and he would definitely be able to replenish it in a while, and he ran forward desperately.
The corpse was angry and was enraged, and he didn't come out for a long time, and this weak guy still wanted to escape from under his hands? Directly activated the skill!
The speed of the corpse's fire was even faster, the body was driven by the claws, and it moved forward quickly, the claws passed through Sandru's neck, and the signature "Ghost Strike" at the bottom of the box was used, and Sandru's life was directly at the bottom, and he fell to the ground in an instant.
"Let's go, it's not an opponent!" The other three people had already run out for some distance, and the front of the escape had been cleared before, so there would be no more danger in the short term.
The corpse was furious, immersed in the feeling of using the skill just now and the joy of killing, and did not bother to chase it anymore, waving his hand, and the minions patrolled around it.
Sandru died silently like this, no one knows what he thought in the end, his life can probably be summarized like this: "Sandru, a native of Rog's camp, a poor family, young and lazy, an adult awakened necromantic attribute to level 5, adopted two sons, and died at the age of 37 when the corpse caught fire." ”
The final adventure was told to Rodhart and Monfila by Sandru's teammate Zubin after he returned to Rog City.
