Chapter 5: Scavenging

From the beginning of the Moon of Remnant Spring to the end of the Moon of Frost and Dew, the continent of Anrendale has been getting farther and farther away from the twin stars, the days have become longer, the nights have become shorter, reaching the farthest point in the Moon of Cicadas, and slowly turning back, very similar to the summer on Earth, in the mouth of the bard, this is the origin of the conflict between the ancient gods and the first generation of gods when the gods signed the ancient covenant.

But for Sim, he had little interest in pursuing a lost history, only to feel the cold wind sliding through his skin at a temperature that was not too different from the daytime.

Sim broke up Babur's strong man's followers, and let him tell the story of the incident as it was, and carefully analyzed it in his heart.

"Babur, is that pendant really just what you picked up?"

Chim confirmed again, and Babur dragged out his voice with a frowning face

"Oh yes, I knew that the would be so annoying, so I kicked it into the sewer."

It seems that it is indeed a whisper under the moon, Sim raised his hand and touched his chin lightly, although this pendant appeared in Inruta, but it was only taken out and displayed at the banquet by the Countess of Eggoil, who is now visiting Inruta, accidentally fell into the flowers, and was quickly found by the royal knights.

Then the next time he appeared was at the coming-of-age ceremony of Her Royal Highness the princess, known as the third round of the silver moon in Anlundale, there was no news on the way, and I had never heard of it still falling into the hands of a group of children in the civilian area.

That means it's not a whisper under the moon, right? Sim's frown slowly relaxed, indeed, there are many items that promote awakening, and there are dozens of them that he knows.

What's more, the game's open beta has just released the second expansion, and with such a big world view as Anrendale, what I know is only the tip of the iceberg.

However, this matter still needs to be treated with caution, Chim suddenly remembered something, turned to the strong man named Potter and asked

"Potter, you used to be Van Lentyn's subordinate, do you know why he was looking for that pendant?"

Lost a bet with Babur to be a sidekick, and was scratched by Potter, a former gangster who was held hostage

"He didn't tell us, he just told us to pay attention to something special, it seems that even the other two leaders don't know very well, as for Babur......"

He paused and glanced at Babur, who also looked at him with his head held high

“...... Big brother, we arrested him because he suddenly had something to do with the temple, and I also know what it is from you. My lord. ”

Is there something special, Sim thought about it, but still didn't have a clue, and the three of them quickly walked back to the temple of the god of springs and flowers.

In the distance, Natara could be seen standing at the door of the temple with a group of children, large and small, and after seeing the figures of Sim and Babur, they all cheered and pounced.

"Babur Babur, are you alright, I heard that Iron Fist is fierce."

Although Babur is more mature than his peers, after all, he is only a child, and after being rescued by Sim without danger, he has some pride that is different from that of his friends

"Yes, everyone on the street says they're as tall as a temple, and their mouths can be as big as a table."

"Hmph, let me tell you, Brother Chim and I have taught those guys with Iron Fist a hard lesson!"

The children let out an exclamation, and Babur rolled his eyes, pulled Potter beside him, and began to use the ready-made witness to compile a history of his adventures

Sim shook his head helplessly, put his hand on his shoulder, bent down slightly, and saluted the priest girl who approached

"Whatever your purpose, I have to thank you for your help to these children, Miss Harrieh."

Sim's face was serious, he had just experienced a vicious fight, and even a little blood was splashed on his collar and side face, and there was a different kind of majesty in this salute, and the priest girl was slightly cramped

"No, no, that's what I'm supposed to do, sir."

Hariyah didn't know what to call the young man in front of her, so she had to use a generic name, and Sim smiled slightly, and continued

"My name is Chimkoving, and my friends call me Chim, and I'm currently a would-be knight under Mr. Vilas, and I'm about to be certified as a knight and leave Inruta, but."

He turned his head, glanced at the frolicking Babur, paused, and continued

"But the knight certification mission may not be short, and I can't put my mind at ease with these children."

He deliberately revealed his identity so that this priest lady could cast a mouse, although he was only a quasi-knight, but it was not the same as the head of the Knights of the North Wind.

The gods of springs and flowers are only gods with weak divine power, and they will never unite with the elite knights of the great powers in the mortal world.

"So, if it's convenient for you, I'd like to ask you to take care of it for you, can you, Miss Harrieh?"

As he looked at the children, Hariya's eyes softened, and she said without hesitation

"Of course, Mr. Chim."

Receiving her answer, Sim was relieved, a naturally awakened young warlock was so precious, any temple would be willing to pay a lot of money in exchange, let alone just take care of a group of children.

"However, I have a small personal question, they seem to be just a bunch of orphans? But the relationship with you ......"

Is this testing me? She really didn't give up, and she wanted to hold Natara firmly in the palm of her hand? Sim was unmoved on the surface

"Yes, we are not related by blood, but I treat them as real brothers and sisters, and they are willing to recognize me as an older brother."

Sim waited quietly for Harrieh's answer, this kind of verbal confrontation was really not his strong point, he preferred the two of them to take out their swords and draw a way

"You are a true knight."

Harrieh turned around and looked with a little admiration at this young knight about her age, who could fight the villains for a group of children who had nothing to do with her, and still cared for them, as if she were the knight depicted in a knight's novel.

Chim was waiting for the next temptation, but he waited for such a compliment, and then the two fell into the embarrassment of not speaking

"Ah, yes, Mr. Shim."

As if she had suddenly remembered something, Hariyah smiled apologetically

"Some of the children are gifted, and I want them to listen to the teachings of springs and flowers, okay?"

Chim thought to himself, finally getting to the point, clearing his throat and smiling

"Of course you can, but Na ......"

As soon as Harria heard Chim agree, she shouted happily, and then she raised her fingers and began to count names

"You agree? That's great, Barry, Christopher, and Cathy are all good kids with potential! And Clin, Conradon ......"

Interrupt me? I'm not in a hurry, Chim was still smiling as he thought about it, intending to bring the conversation back to the point

"But Natara, she ......"

"Natara? He's a smart and mature child, but he doesn't seem to be a good monk? ”

Harrieh frowned, looked up at the startled Sim, and said as if reluctantly

"However, you can also let her try ......"

Sim stared blankly at the babbling Miss Priest, not because of Harrieh's sudden possession of her best friend Lilynia, but because of her last sentence

Not quite suitable? Barely trying? Miss, do you know that Issy, the god of springs and flowers, will strangle you alive when he hears you use such words to turn away a gifted warlock?

"What's wrong, Mr. Shim? Was it because I was rude? ”

Harrieh quickly stopped at Sim's sluggish expression, and she shrunk her neck a little uneasily

"I used to be just an ordinary country girl, and after being baptized by the previous priest, I also lived in the temple for a long time, so if there is any rudeness........."

The lower priest of the god of springs and flowers, Hariya, a former peasant girl, has always been an isolated housemaiden.

......................................................................

Walking on the street, Sim still showed an embarrassed expression from time to time, he didn't expect that the pastor who was going to start a verbal and psychological confrontation with him in his imagination was just a stupid girl with a homely nature.

But this is fine, Natara's safety should be more assured, Chim looked up at the sun hanging in the sky, although the light is still bright, but it will soon dim, when it will be replaced by the double moon of Anrondale.

There is not much time, although he is already a quasi-knight, but he has not left the school yet, so he must rush back every night at a quarter of twelve o'clock, before the fixed time of the chasher.

"Whew, I almost couldn't find it."

There was a low voice in the dark alley where there was no sunlight, and Sim walked out briskly with a small bag in his hand, his face and hands stained with damp mud, and it looked like he had a lot of work.

He did something that many players must have done, not just for IsolatedSystem players, but even in all RPGs before VirtualReality, which Chim used to call "scavenging".

It's about finding some money, props, and even equipment left over from the game's creators throughout the map, which is a small way for the makers to spice up the game, from the sewers to the palace, as long as you can find them.

As the first second-generation virtual reality (VirtualReality) game, IsolatedSystem is even more interesting, and there are posts on the forum every day that he picked up such and such equipment in such and such a place, which is some unexpected place, and even Chim himself has picked up waste under the pool of Fortelma.

Wiping his palms and face slightly, and straightening up the new vest he had changed into at the temple, Chim hurried towards his next target.

Although IsolatedSystem claims to be a second world, it is only a game after all, and it is very different from the real world, and this is the second time that Sim has returned empty-handed.

He quickly climbed over the courtyard wall, and at the same time clutched a bag tightly in his hand, of course, he had several of these bags pinned to his waist.

Night has fallen on Inruta, and the hustle and bustle of being the capital of the knights' kingdom has not gone away, but has changed into a cloak outlined by the lights, especially the buildings led by the royal palace and the Azure Tower, wizards and nobles naturally do not use ordinary lights like commoners, and the light of alchemy products and magic crystals is even more brilliant.

"And expensive."

Sim added the last sentence, and he was now hiding on the top floor of the Fair Clock Tower, the tallest building in the civilian district of Inruta, where there was plenty of light and silence to keep him from being disturbed.

Sim glanced at the platform in the center of the top floor, emitting a bright glow of magic crystal, it was suspended on the white stone platform, motionless, this crystal was not small, although the shape was irregular, but it was the size of Sim's thumb, and the light it emitted illuminated the entire top floor.

Then Chim looked into the distance, as if to illuminate the entire night sky, on the Azure Tower, several magic crystals floated around the tower in a fixed course, each of which was carefully polished by the craftsman wizard, and was a palm-sized hexahedron.

Well, not small.

Sim untied the harvest of the afternoon's struggle from his waist, seven or eight bags of similar size and texture were placed on the ground, and there were two empty bags, so that he was still aside, he picked up one at random and opened it.

Boom, a few exquisite old gold coins and a small dagger fell to the ground, Sim could see at a glance that it was an inferior imitation of the elven gold coin, which could only be used to fool the layman, he picked up the dagger again and looked at it, it was just the work of an ordinary blacksmith, at most it was sharper.

It didn't take long for all the bags to be opened, and bits and pieces were laid out on the floor.

First of all, Chim put away all kinds of ancient gold coins, about 4 or 50 pieces, although many of them were imitations, but there was no problem with the quality of the gold itself.

Tomorrow I will accept the actual certification mission to go out on an adventure, and enough gold is a must-have item.

In terms of weapons, only the dagger in the first bag was better than nothing, Chim comforted himself and stuck the dagger into his boot.

Instead, a ring was writhed, and an amulet made Chim doubly happy.

Strong rings

Jewelry

Equipment Part: Fingers (limited to the Magic Triangle)

Equipment attribute: Strength +0.5

Equipment Description: This ring has a faint magical power that increases the wearer's strength

Old amulets

Jewelry

Equipment Part: Any (limited to 3 pieces of similar equipment)

Equipment Attributes: Defense +1

Equipment Description: An old amulet that weakly reduces damage you take

Although they are all level 10 or so shimmer items, but the rarity of the jewelry remains high in the game, Chim still remembers that his first accessory was after level 20, and the plus 3 tendon black bear bracelet accidentally dropped when brushing the rampaging black bear.

The magic triangle is the name established by the spellcasters, that is, the area made up of the thumb, index finger and middle finger, and the ring can only be worn on these three to be effective, and the wizards call it because the triangle is one of the forms that make magic constant since ancient times.

Players believe that this is just a conspiracy by the game company, which restricts one person to only six rings to control the effect of equipment on players.

The rest are bizarre things, such as scrolls that attract black cats, dust that makes people sneeze all the time, and mysterious lumps that change the taste of food, all of which are only taken from areas where Inruta novices can no longer be newbies.

Sim did know that there were several things that would be very useful to him, such as an ancient longsword in the mansion of a viscount in the aristocratic district, known as the nightmare of a heavily armored warrior, which was fired for more than 8,000 yuan in the game, as well as the armband in the temple of the god of war and the skill scroll in the Azure Tower.

But for him, it was difficult to get into these places and get the equipment he wanted.

"Hey, what is this?"

Sim sighed, and as soon as he put away the mess, he picked out a wooden sign with a complicated line of writing crookedly.
