Chapter Fifty-Eight: Battle Mage

According to the instructions of the dwarven stall owner, Chen Zhuo and Charles came to the corner, the bearded human who closed the stall was full of wrinkles and a pipe, Chen Zhuo and the old man looked at them after they came over, as if waiting for Chen Zhuo and Charles to say something first. Charles ignored the old man and picked up the equipment list from the stall and looked at it. Chen Zhuo looked around, there were various shapes of magic staff in the stalls, as well as mage crowns and hangers, and even some rings with jewels, which looked as if they were reflected through a layer of glass. It seems that there are a lot of things sold here, but Chen Zhuo couldn't find where the shield was, and Charles, who had read the list, said: "!" There are no shields here either! Chen Zhuo looked at the stall owner and asked, "Boss, do you have any shields here that can be strengthened?" ”

The old man took a puff of his cigarette holder and said slowly: "Shields are generally defensive equipment used by warriors and paladins, young man, I can tell that the big man next to you is a warrior, but I sell mage equipment, so you want to use a shield?" ”

"Yes boss, I'm going to use a shield."

The old man stroked his white beard and said to Chen Zhuo: "I do have a shield for the mage, but it is not an addition but a spell casting speed. ”

"Oh? Cast speed? Chen Zhuo thought about it, for his own skills, the casting speed was not bad for him, the spells such as Star Surge, Elemental Impact, and Lightning Arrow accelerated the casting speed, and combined with his own hand-to-hand combat ability, it was also a choice, "Boss, is it convenient for me to see the attributes and price of that shield?" At the same time, Chen Zhuo also thought that the price of this kind of equipment must be expensive, and if it really doesn't work, he has to go back to Murray to borrow money.

"Young man, tell me one thing first, is this shield for you to use yourself?"

Chen Zhuo was surprised why this old man asked him this, nodded his head, and said, "Yes, boss, I bought it and planned to use it myself." ”

When the old man heard this, he waved his hand, and a shield appeared in his hand: "This is the shield I just mentioned, it is currently bound by me and needs the support of magic crystals, so you can't see its attributes, but I can tell you." 'Summoning requires 2 Mana Crystals, which provide 2 points of permanent armor, which can make the brave more sensitive to the environment around them, thus increasing the cast speed by 40%'. How's that, do you see it? ”

"Be more sensitive to the environment around you"! You must know that Chen Zhuo not only knows the skills of a mage, but also has the skills of a druid, I wonder if this perception environment can make it more convenient for him to release the Star Surge Technique? Immediately, he said to the old man, "Boss, can I try this shield?" ”

"Boy, this is summoning equipment, if you try it, you can bind it directly, if you don't believe the attributes I said, I can unbind it and let you see its attributes." Saying that, the old man made a move to unbind the shield, and then took it and showed it to Chen Zhuo, and sure enough, the introduction was just like what the old man said. Although Chen Zhuo looked very eager for this shield, he was also a little worried in his heart, after all, this is the equipment bound to the old man, if the old man is forced to cut his love, then how many gold coins will it cost to buy it: "Boss, you can make a price." ”

The old man took the shield back, and said with a smile: "Young man, this shield can't be bought with gold coins, if you really want it, you have to do me a favor, first of all, I have something to say to communicate with you in private, I don't know ......" The old man said and glanced at Charles, Chen Zhuo suddenly understood what the old man meant, and said to Charles embarrassedly: "Charles, I'll talk to this boss about something, can you give us some space?" ”

Charles nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the warrior quarters for a walk, these two sides are close, if you have something important, you can come to me directly." After speaking, Charles leaned into Chen Zhuo's ear and said, "Brother Chen, although I don't know what you two are going to say, but you can be careful that this person is a charlatan!" ”

Chen Zhuo listened to Charles's words and nodded with a smile: "Thank you, it's okay, I'll be careful." ”

Charles turned his head to look at the old man and turned to leave. The old man put down his pipe and said to Chen Zhuo: "Young man, your friend is very righteous, haha, it's good to be young." ”

Chen Zhuo nodded with a smile: "Boss, what can you say now." ”

"Okay, then let me ask you first, are you also a battle mage?"

Chen Zhuo frowned when he heard this, and did not reply to anything or say anything immediately, because he was simply a fake mage. Seeing that Chen Zhuo didn't reply to him, the old man had a bottom in his heart and said, "You don't need to be nervous, in fact, I am also a battle mage." ”

"Ordinary mages only throw skills from a distance, but we are actually different, not only can we use our skills to support teammates from a distance, but we can also rush forward to engage the enemy when necessary!"

As he spoke, the old man summoned his shield, touched the pattern on it, and said, "This shield, when I followed him from the Eastern Kingdom to Kalimdor, was like a comrade-in-arms, and I also had a partner at that time, that is, the creator of this shield, and he has now returned to Nomorigan. ”

The old man looked at Chen Zhuo and said, "Young man, do you know how to cast spells with one hand now?" ”

"One-handed spellcasting?" Chen Zhuo said differently.

"That's right, it's a one-handed spell. Young man, it seems that you still have a lot of ways to go, think about it, as a close mage, with the skill of one-handed spellcasting, how convenient can it be? ”

Chen Zhuo listened to the old man's words and began to study his own skills, which can expand one-handed spellcasting, but think about it, this is a road with no end in sight. Casting spells requires coordination, the left and right hands bring the elements around them together and then excite them, if there is one hand missing, then how can the elements that can be released come out, and the two hands can wrap the elements in one hand to form a "ball", if the ball is held with one hand...... Then the power must be reduced a lot.

"Hehe, boy, you go back and think about these things, now you do me a favor, I'll transfer this shield to you, how about it?"

Chen Zhuo nodded, senior, you said.

"Just east of Hearthstone, there's an oasis of sweet water, and there's a cave there, called the Wailing Cave."

"Wailing Cave!?"

"Oh? Do you know that place? ”

Chen Zhuo nodded, and thought in his heart: This is not a matter of knowing or not knowing, everyone who has played World of Warcraft knows that the Wailing Cave is the first so-called copy that the trumpet has grown up, could it be that this old man asked me to brush the copy?

"Now that you know each other, it's much more convenient, there's a kind of ooze monster in the Wailing Cave, you kill it and drop the Wailing Essence, I want you to bring back 10 Wailing Essence."

"Senior, why didn't you release this quest in the Brave Guild?"

"Of course I posted this quest, but so far no one wants to go because the Wailing Cave is contaminated by Naracles, and although everyone says so, I think Naracres has a good intention. Now there are often some man-eating plants and animals in the Wailing Cave, but the creatures inside the Wailing Cave never run out, and the inside of the Wailing Cave is like a labyrinth, so no one will want to enter it after a long time, and even signs are posted outside the Wailing Cave to warn adventurers who try to enter it. Speaking of the Wailing Essence, the Wailing Essence has no value to ordinary people, but this fragrance can be infused into the staff, which will make the staff shimmer like a glowworm at night. I have a granddaughter who has a bar of passage next month, and I want to make such a staff for her. I wonder if you can help me with this task? ”

Chen Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Senior, can I go back to my friends to discuss, if we decide to come back to you?" ”

"Don't look for me, you just go directly to the Brave Guild to take the task, it just so happens that you can contribute a little more after you complete the task, hehe, when I was young, I often went to the Brave Guild with my friends to do tasks." As he spoke, the old man took out a card, "Take it, this card records the mission information and reward, of course, the shield I promised you, I also hope that this shield can continue to serve a battle mage on the battlefield." ”

Although Chen Zhuo was not a battle mage, and he didn't know what the specific situation of a battle mage was, Chen Zhuo still took the card, said goodbye to the old man with a smile, and was ready to discuss with Charles whether to do this task before going to the Eastern Kingdom.
