Chapter 18: Entering the Second Order, Treasure Hunter?
It's been a week since the battle with the Corpse King. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
During this time, the people (costumes) who had experienced fierce battles broke through the barrier one after another and stepped into the second order.
After reaching the second order, the costume has new skills, and at the same time, the five dimensions have risen significantly, which can be said to be a qualitative change. For example, after Roque advanced to a second-order fire magician, he automatically comprehended a new skill, the Fire Wall Technique. Unlike the previous two Action Skills, this skill is a triggered skill similar to "Trap" that will only trigger when the enemy touches a hidden prime, causing a massive amount of damage while igniting a wall of fire at the enemy's feet.
When Roque first saw this skill, he complained, "Isn't this Timo's mushroom?" ”
……
"It would be nice if I could sell these stones......" Kurto drooled as he looked at the rare attribute stones in Roque's hand, and thought about how much money he could get if he sold them.
"Sell you a big-headed ghost, this is an important item to complete the task of the goddess, if you sell it, where will you find it? Go digging in the dark tunnels for a year??? Milou choked Kurto with a word, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Now that we're all almost recovered, let's go to Mr. Porpo's workshop."
"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't been to visit my master for a long time."
"You're afraid he'll scold you for being lazy, right?"
"What nonsense is the truth......"
……
As the only blacksmith in the village, Polpo's shop has always been very lively, if it weren't for Kurto's identity as Polpo's apprentice, it is estimated that everyone would have to queue for half a day to get their turn.
"Oh, it's Kurto, I haven't seen you in a long time, what have you been up to lately? I heard that you've become a martial artist, and I was looking for you to help me build my gear, but you came just in time, hurry up and take off your shirt. Uncle Porpo, who had a rough face, grabbed him as soon as he saw him, and even tried to take off his clothes......
"I kind of understand why Kurto is afraid of Uncle Porpo." Roque looked at Kurto, who was struggling hard, thoughtfully.
"Wait! Master, don't you like rare materials, this time I brought absolutely super rare things, absolutely satisfying you! Kurto was forced to use his nirvana.
"Oh? Rare materials? Did you kid dig up Mithril by shit? Or Ugin? It's good to rob people halfway with your three-legged cat kung fu, and it's incredible that you can successfully bring it back......"
"Cut, master, you underestimate me too much, I even slaughtered the thousand-year-old corpse king in the pitch-black tunnel, and I copied the treasure I found in his hometown, who dares to rob it?"
Mi Lu covered his face and stayed away from Kurto, who was beaten by the Corpse King with one blow, and was embarrassed to say that he slaughtered the Corpse King, and the thickness of his face was comparable to the city wall.
"Haha, you kid is becoming more and more like me when I was younger, and you brag so well! Worthy of being my apprentice! Surprisingly, Porpo did not despise Culto, but was still proud, these two people deserve to be master and apprentice, and they simply smell like each other.
"Ahem, that Mr. Polpo, we're here to ask you to make an item out of these materials." Roque pulled out the four attribute stones that Chris had given him.
For a moment, the whole room was filled with rich magic, and Porpo's eyes widened the moment he saw the four stones: "What!?" This is...... Light, darkness, thunder, and elemental attribute stones! I hadn't seen this thing in twenty years, and I didn't expect to see it today......" Polpo kept picking up one piece as if he were enchanted, and soon put down his hand and picked up another.
"So, what kind of gear are you going to build? Let me guess, 'Empalette of Light'? Or 'Shadow Knife'? Or the 'Thunder Sword'? Could it be a 'dimensional cloak'? Polpo finally came to his senses and asked Roque.
"It's not combat equipment...... What I wanted to do was this thing called the 'Elemental Sensing Device'. Roque took out the drawings he had prepared and said.
"Elemental sensing devices? What is this thing? Sounds amazing, let me see...... Well, it's a very novel design.,It can be seen that it's a masterpiece.,It's a perfect embodiment of the characteristics of the four super-level elements.,Awesome! Polpo studied the drawings and let out exclamations.
"But these four stones aren't enough to make this thing." Polpo said suddenly.
"Really? So what materials are missing? ”
"It's a crystal called a 'lens', and it's honestly not precious, but if you really want it, it's hard to find it for a while, and I don't have it in stock here......"
"So, where is the most produced of this lens?" Roque asked.
"As far as I know, lenses are usually produced at the third quarry in the pitch-black tunnels, but it's very dangerous and ordinary people can't go there, you ......" Polpo looked at Kurto, and stopped talking.
Roque smiled confidently: "If you are worried about our safety, please rest assured, we are all second-order strength now, and it is not a big problem to go to the third quarry." As he spoke, Roque showed an aura that only a second-order professional could have.
"In that case, I don't have anything to say, I'll start forging the lens when you bring it back, and by the way, a woman who calls herself a treasure hunter came to me a few days ago to inquire about the lens, and you may run into her." Polpo thought for a moment and came up with a surprising message.
Oh? Treasure hunter? That's supposed to be the duo of Luty and Mary, the two of them do have a hobby of finding treasures, and they often rob the protagonist of treasures in the game, remember that Roque's first group annihilation was in their hands, and the storm-like attack impressed Roque.
If it's them...... It's really a hard battle, this time I have to plan it again, as a miserable reward for being abused in my previous life, this time I am not a weak chicken ravaged by you, I have to prepare a 'surprise' for them.
Roque is already thinking about what to do with Luty and Mary, Blood Rose? Demon Modified Demon God Sword? It's all spicy chicken!
……
"Why is it a pitch-black pit again! The thought of us going through that zombie-infested place makes me want to throw up! Milou grumbled.
"What are you afraid of, their boss thousand-year-old corpse king has been killed by us, what waves can they make if they can't make it?" Kurto completely forgot that he was scared by zombies in the first place, and the typical scar forgot the pain.
"And this time our target is not a closed area, but the third quarry, where the monsters are not necromancy, you can rest assured." Roque explained.
"That's what you say...... But I always have a feeling that something is going to happen......" Miru frowned.
"Crow's beak! How could it be possible to encounter something so exciting twice in a row, it's impossible to think about it. ”
Roque: It's really special for you to say it, if it weren't for me, the normal plot is that you found the lens and then met the bandit duo and then were abused and finally were taunted and completed the task, and I feel so aggrieved when I think about it.
Although Roque knows that this is a threshold deliberately set by the game company for players, only true expert players can defeat Luty and Mary in the early game when the level is generally not high, just like defeating the gatekeeper of the Tower of Trials in advance, you can't get any hidden rewards after completing the challenge, but that sense of accomplishment alone is enough to make people excited for a long time, maybe that's why you chose this profession.
Unwilling to be ordinary, this is the pursuit of being a strong person.
