Chapter 37: The Strange Seed
When you enter the door, you can see only a square space only five or six meters deep, and at the end of the high cabinet stands a stout man with a masked face, and there are large and small cabinets on all sides, with different types of goods, some even strange-looking, and a nameplate with a price underneath.
This is actually the official store of the Thieves' Guild, and the things they received or obtained that can't be confirmed or are inconvenient to shoot are put here to sell, and in the previous life, many players loved it, and the nature of Shepard's power is inconvenient to be exposed here, and he will immediately be suspected of being a priest or holy warrior of a good god, although it is not difficult for him to kill this bazaar, but then it will be more troublesome, and this place will not be able to come again in the future, so why bother.
He came prepared, pretended to walk around, took three things from the cabinet, and went to see the big man in the store: "Huh." He handed over a few gems.
The big man looked at him gloomily for a moment before taking the gem.
After paying the money, he left the shop, and did not visit any other shops or stalls, and left the place by another way anyway, without any good things.
Exiting the tunnel in a remote location, he moved back what was covering the entrance to the tunnel, and waited nearby for a while to make sure no one was following him, before he found a quiet place to check what he had gained.
One of the three things was a fragment of a shield, which was just something to hide people's eyes and was thrown away, and there was a small bag of seeds in a cloth bag, exuding a faint natural atmosphere, and the other was a wild-looking fur armor that not only covered the entire torso, but also had a hem underneath to protect the crotch.
[Strange seeds, these are some strange seeds that seem to have the power of nature]
[Exquisite animal skin inlaid armor, this leather armor is tanned with the skin of werewolves and rat people, and it is made of white dragon tendons soaked in potion, soaked in alchemy potions made of blue dragon blood, the maker is no longer testable, but at the same time, it has significant resistance to the attacks of the four attributes of curse, poison, corrosion, and lightning]
In this kind of semi-Taobao and half-gambling store, there were not many people interested in the game at first, and occasionally a few people who felt good about themselves went in and bought a few things at a large price, only to find that they were either garbage or very low-value things, and few people cared about them after vomiting blood.
It wasn't until later that a very gambling krypton player swept the store, and found that the thieves' union was really a profiteer, and the entire store had dozens of goods, only this kind of sub and leather armor were really worth the money, although the leather armor looked very shabby in appearance, but its own physical defense was quite good, after all, it was made of magic leather soaked in dragon blood, and it was inlaid with fine dragon scales in several weak places to enhance defense, but because the way was too ordinary, it was underestimated by the appraiser of the thieves' union, and it was thrown in the store to deceive the fat sheep.
The leather armor was easily replaced, and that kind of seed was an important prop for Shepard's next serial mission, if it weren't for the kryptonite player who made the seed a task, no one would have thought that the key items of this task were actually bought.
Coupled with the delicate long sword behind his back, Shepard can be regarded as having two pieces of green equipment, as well as a [Ludwig's Sacred Scepter] equivalent to an orange artifact, but it was obtained by accident, and most of the tasks or treasure hiding places of high-level equipment are far away, even if he has the advantage of foresight, it is difficult to get together a high-level equipment in a short time.
After finding a major road nearby and identifying the direction, he walked in the direction of [Mill Woods].
*
The Mill Forest is the second largest forest in the territory of Thassel, second only to the Wildassen Forest in the north of Tesser, which straddles the two kingdoms, and goes east along the [McChell Range], turning south at the easternmost part of the mountain range, until the border of the [Spider Swamp].
The terrain of this forest is complex, and there are many ancient tombs and ruins that have been hidden by the forest over a long history, even some abandoned mage towers, and in the middle and deep of the forest there are evil five-colored dragons such as green dragons, some other powerful creatures, and some reclusive druid tribes.
Even though he had been in Tessel for a long time in his previous life, Shepard had raised his vigilance to avoid getting lost when he entered the forest, but fortunately he did not want to go deep into the forest, but a small town on the west side of the forest now made supplies, and then broke into the forest.
"I want to see it...... It should be here. He followed the path that the hunters and adventurers of the town had trodden deep, and when he saw a stone wall that was only more than half a man high, he left the trail and continued to go deeper along the stone wall, until he had walked more than two hundred meters before he stopped beside a ruin.
The stone walls at the edge of the trail stretched all the way to here, looking like there was once a city or something, and there were crumbling towers in the clearing, and large pieces of rubble and collapsed ceilings and things like that were sparsely scattered around here.
Shepard glanced at the fallen tower, and he knew that there was a hidden trapdoor next to the tower, but instead of opening the hidden portal, he took out the bag of seeds, starting from the edge of the ruins, and scattered them as he went, and just walked back to the path, and the seeds in the bag were also scattered.
Throwing away the bag, Shepard dusted off his hands, glanced in the direction of the ruins, and continued along the path.
As Shepard went deeper and deeper, the path under his feet disappeared at some point, and occasionally a frightened rabbit or wild deer suddenly passed through, and Shepard ignored all of them, but there were poisonous snakes and some living plants that wanted to sneak up, but he burned them to ashes.
It was clear that it was difficult to distinguish the direction in the forest, but he did not hesitate to move forward as if someone was guiding him, in fact, he saw a purple-black flower in the nearby plants, this flower was very special but inconspicuous, the flower was like a small lantern, and it was also Shepard's reliance as a way to identify the direction.
There was no trace of humanity in the surroundings, and the faint divine might was released by Shepard, and no beast that was not an otherworldly creature dared to approach this place, and when a peaceful lake hidden deep in the forest appeared in his eyes, he knew that he had found a place.
There are two huts built around the small lake, and a fence surrounds the huts, and the area inside the fence is planted with herbs and some common vegetables.
Shepard walked calmly to the wooden house, without any intention of hiding his whereabouts, and as he approached, he felt something trigger, and a wave of magic was released, although he was not very proficient in spells, he could think of what kind of warning magic it was.
As he approached the fence, the door of one of the wooden houses suddenly opened, and a handsome man in a blue robe, but with dark skin, and a slender figure, stood in front of the door, holding a half-man-high scepter in one hand, and said in a cold voice: "Tell me what you are here for, stranger, I don't welcome any visitors here!" ”
Shepard raised his hands to show that he had no malicious intent, and said calmly: "I heard that there are people here who are plagued by curses, and I happen to have some ways to cure curses. ”
The man sneered, "I never knew I needed treatment, I warn you to get out of here immediately and don't come any further!" Otherwise, you will bear the consequences! ”
Shepard sighed, "Mr. Drow, if you refuse my kindness, do you want to deal with the curse of the spider queen on your own?" ”
The handsome man whose real race was the Dark Elves changed his face and shouted angrily, "You really have bad intentions! "The magic fluctuations on the staff that were ready to attack suddenly formed, and a huge spider web appeared out of thin air and flew towards Shepard!
He immediately took off the scepter from his waist to activate the power of the scepter, and the translucent white shield suddenly appeared, blocking the cobwebs from the outside, and the breath of positive energy was clear at a glance.
"Mage! Can you trust me now?! ”
He shouted at the Drow mage, who turned a deaf ear and cast several spells in succession, but they were all blocked by the shield, and the bewildered mage looked at Shepard and wondered if he should use the escape spell to escape immediately.
Shepard hurriedly persuaded, "Mage! If you run away now, I won't chase you, but what about your curse? Are you going to be tormented by this thing for the rest of your life? ”
