Chapter 8: Shattered Fire Elemental Crystals
After exchanging the resource voucher for resources, Xiwei sank his mental power into the tattoo on his hand.
[[Night Forest: Periphery] strategy completed] [Rating A] [Claim Reward]
"Hey, there are A's in this fight!" Xiwei was a little surprised in his heart: "Is there an evaluation like S if you pass the customs perfectly?" ”
Naturally, the system would not answer his questions.
Sivi didn't care so much, and after directly selecting to receive the reward, the Russian turntable appeared again, but the prize changed.
First of all, there are still three resource rewards, which are alchemy materials/metal resources +30, and gem resources +10, in addition to other rewards: an architectural blueprint, a magic wand, and a identification crystal.
For Sivi, the most useful of these things are metal resources and magic wands. Unfortunately, he couldn't control the turntable, so he could only watch it draw automatically.
The turntable began to spin in spite of Sivi's will, and slowly stopped, the pointer swept over the magic wand, skimmed over the architectural drawings, and was about to stop on the metal resources, but the turntable, which seemed to have stopped at any time, still rotated at an extremely slow speed, causing the pointer to turn over the metal resources, and finally stopped at the identification crystal.
"......" looked at the red crystal that appeared in his hand, and Xiwei didn't know what expression to use to face it.
This is the same consumable item used to identify items as the secondary identification crystal he found in the treasure chest last time, the only difference is that the identification success rate of this thing is a notch higher than that of secondary identification crystals.
In addition to monetary resources, the most scummy prize in this lottery is this identification crystal...... Even a bottle of recovery potion is better than this thing.
He gloomily logged out and returned to reality.
It was still pitch black outside the window, and judging by the scale on the hourglass, I am afraid it was not yet 1 a.m.
Sivi stared at the bright red crystal in his hand for a moment, then jumped out of bed and ran to his desk, using the key he had with him to open the locked drawer, which contained his last trophy, a red gem the size of a fingernail and construction blueprints.
After putting the unknown feather inside, Sivi took out the small red gem from inside.
This was the first time he had taken a tour of the outskirts of the Night Forest, he had collected from a goblin caster.
Anyway, it seems that identifying the crystal is very easy to obtain, so Sivi used it to identify this small red gemstone without any distress.
【Shattered Fire Elemental Crystal】
【Gems/Shards】
[Weapon Inlay: Fire Damage +3]
[Armor Inlay: Fire Resistance +3]
[This is an elemental crystal full of flame breath, but it seems to be just a fragment that has fallen from the complete crystal, and the amount of the element is not very thick. Can be mounted on weapons or armor. If it is unprocessed, it will cause an explosion after three seconds of injecting mana, which is equivalent to the second-ring magic "Flame Impact". 】
[Notes: "Goo...... Wow! Whoa! —BY Goblin Caster
Clearly, this is a gemstone for setting. However, since there is nothing to compare, Xiwei doesn't know whether the fire damage or fire resistance +3 in the road is too much or too little.
But after all, it's just a fragment, and it shouldn't be much stronger if you think about it.
In addition to being used for inlay, this thing seems to be able to be used as a grenade, but if he does so, Sivi always has the feeling that the crystal is wasted.
"Why don't you give this thing to Alyssa tomorrow and see if we can help her sense the magic element faster."
After deciding what the elemental crystal would use, Sivi casually put it in the pocket of his mage's robe, yawned, and retracted into the bed to sleep. …,
☆
It was nine o'clock in the morning when Sivi woke up.
Alyssa's family runs a small tavern, the only one in the village, and the business is not bad.
The little girl would help at home in the morning, so she wouldn't come until after the busy noon period, and she wouldn't bring food here to learn magic.
“…… Strange, why do you have the illusion that I have been fed? After washing, Sivi stood boredly outside the mage tower, looking at the village with smoke in the distance.
A few ant-like black spots can still be seen in the green farmland outside the village, which are villagers who are working.
Although I can meditate to kill time now, it's still early today, and the opportunity to copy has been used up, so I have time to meditate in the afternoon.
Although the villagers in the village had a much better attitude towards him because he had killed the porcupine in his predecessor, Sivi always felt a little strange because of the fact that he was respected because of others, so he didn't plan to go to the village.
So he simply turned around and walked up the mountain, wanting to climb the mountain and exercise a little after the walk.
Although it has the name of the mountain, the mountain is actually not very high, and according to Xiwei's eyesight, its height should be less than 400 meters.
And as the starting point of the Angola Mountains, the monsters on this mountain are also extremely weak. The strongest should be a few cherry baboons in the back mountain, this kind of crusade level 7 monster looks like a baboon with cherries on its head and its entire face painted red.
When Sivi's predecessor planned to make a home here to teach Alyssa, he felt that the cherry baboon that had broken into his territory had attacked him. However, they were easily repelled by Xiwei, who was already a junior mage, and left a great psychological shadow on them, so that they no longer dared to trouble Xiwei's predecessor.
Although Xiwei has now been demoted to a mage apprentice after soul penetration, he is alone in this matter, and those brutes still dare not do anything. That's why he can climb the mountain with swagger and without scruples.
However, when Sivi was about to approach the top of the mountain, he realized that something was wrong. It's too quiet in the not-so-dense woods of the mountains.
You must know that it is the height of summer now, and at least the noisy cicadas are absolutely indispensable at this time, but now it is pure dead silence.
Sivi, who was secretly on guard, walked towards the top step by step. Although it may be the best option to go back right now, it is better to find out the root of this 'anomaly' than to hide in the mage tower and be afraid. Otherwise, not only Sivi herself, but even Alyssa could be in danger.
After walking for a while, there was a faint smell of blood, followed by the buzzing of flies.
Walking in the direction where the smell of blood wafted from, what appeared in front of Sivi was a corpse that was not too decomposed,
Even Sivi, who was used to seeing goblin corpses, couldn't help but roll in his stomach pouch when he saw this corpse.
It was the corpse of a female cherry baboon, with a frightened expression on the ugly monkey's face, and its fur-covered body had become tattered, with a large hole in its belly and white intestines running all over the ground.
The baboon's left paw vanished completely, revealing broken bones and peeled orange-like musculature, and its eyeballs were gone, and maggots with yellow-white slime were busily moving in and out, and flies were flying around from time to time on various wounds that showed pink muscles and even internal organs and bones.
Resisting the urge to vomit, Sivi took a closer look at the wound.
However, he was not a forensic doctor after all, and he had not studied anatomy, and he found almost nothing except that most of the wounds on the baboon's body were bitten by sharp teeth.
But at least one thing is certain: a mighty predator has come up from the rocky mountains.
