Chapter 4: Picking up tasks
Saying goodbye to Mentor Carter, I went to the blacksmith shop again, spent less than 100 gold coins, bought adventurer pants, cloth hats, gloves, and repaired the equipment on my body at the same time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info looked at the master's cane, the cheapest are 3000+ gold coins, I can only sigh that I am still poor.
Except for the blacksmith's shop, I looked at myself very satisfied.
Cloth Hat: Defense 4, Durability 15/15, Value 15 gold, Common items.
Worn-out robes: Defense 15, Durability 19/19, worth 35 gold, common items.
Gloves: Defense 3, Durability 12/12, Value 15 gold, Common items.
Adventurer's Pants: Defense 14, Durability 25/25, worth 30 gold, common items.
Worn-out French Shoes: Defense 5, Durability 14/14, worth 4 gold, common items.
I went to the Alliance Store again and bought 5 keys, 1 torch, 1 return scroll, 1 bottle of antidote, 1 bottle of ice detoxification, 1 bottle of stamina potion, and some food and water, just these humble items cost me the remaining more than 200 gold coins, I can still accept 40 gold coins for a bottle of potion, and a city return scroll actually costs 100 gold!
Forget it, I don't have any money on me, and this Sias camp is not getting any better, so I'd better go find Adams.
・・・・・・
This is the Adventurer's Guild, it looks like a small cabin, and I muttered and pushed the door in.
"Let's let's let, let's let's go, we've taken this task from the Cangyan Regiment."
"Don't squeeze, I'm here to hand in the task"
"Do you have any friends who are exploring the Deadwood Graveyard together?"
"There is one adventurer missing to destroy the Skull Cave"
Standing outside the house, there was no movement at all, and it was like a disturbance inside, which made me noisy and squeezed in.
"Haha, Feng, you're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time, how about it, Sias camp is not bad."
I felt someone pat me and look up, ha, isn't this Adams?
"I'm looking for you, it's noisy here"
"It's okay, we won't be here for long, first of all, I'll take you to register an adventurer's identity, although it doesn't matter if you're in the wild, you can't enter the Imperial City without identification" I was pulled by Adams and squeezed into an old man's side.
"Uncle Tariha, please register this kid, I don't know where to pass by the novice adventurer, saved my life"
"Oh, okay, wait"
"Here, drop a drop of blood on this, and you'll be a junior adventurer" Adams picked up his sword and touched my finger, and the blood immediately came out, and his registration card wiped the blood.
"OK, you're already an adventurer."
"Just now I went to report the information and rewarded me with a map of the Demon Woodland, it's not too far from here, we can go explore and see what tasks can be picked up and completed by the way"
"Hmm... There are a lot of zombies and bristled rats near the enchanted woodland, so you can catch up by destroying 50 zombies and destroying 50 bristle mice."
"Ding, trigger the task, destroy 50 zombies, mission failure penalty: none, task completion reward: increase the specified skill proficiency by 50"
"Ding, trigger the task, destroy 50 hard-haired mice, mission failure penalty: none, task completion reward: increase the specified skill proficiency by 50"
I'm very satisfied with this task, and if both missions are completed, my fire bomb skills can be directly upgraded to level 2.
"Follow me when the mission is over, we still have things to do"
"Aren't we going straight away? What else to do"
"It's not early today, we'll leave tomorrow, now we need to go to the edge of the camp and pitch a tent, the camp doesn't care about adventurers"
"Oh, oh, what, don't stay!" "Also, there are only 10 stores in total, and there is really no place to put some goods."
With the cooperation of the two of us, the tent was set up quickly. The two of us were munching on dry food around the campfire, as long as we were not in the Imperial City, there was no hot food in this kind of camp set up in the wild, only simple dry food, of course, all I could see except for merchants were all combatants, and I didn't see a single civilian.
"Feng, have you learned a skill" Adams chewed dry food in his mouth, and chatted with me vaguely
"Oh, learned" I was also a little absent-minded.
"Assassins"
"No, how did you think that I was an assassin?"
"Because the assassins hide their weapons very well, I don't see your weapons, so... Look at me, I'm a warrior, and I carry a sword and shield everywhere."
“!!!” I finally remembered that something was wrong, I didn't have a staff, how could I cast a spell?
"I learned the mage skill, but the staff is too expensive for me to afford, and I don't have a weapon right now," I said with some frustration.
"Oh, it seems that mages can cast spells without weapons, but they don't have the bonus of a staff in terms of attack power, because I'm not a mage, and I don't know very well"
"I'll try"
The trembling body very aptly reflects my excitement at this time, and there is a play, and I haven't been sentenced to death yet.
I concentrated, first condensed the fire bomb in my right hand, aimed it at a stone 5 meters away, and whispered "fire bomb technique"
"Bump" can really be sent out, the whole stone is a little dark, it feels a little awkward, as if there is a feeling of stiffness or delay for 1 second, not so smooth.
I shared my doubts with Adams, and he said he didn't know, and told me that I could ask them for advice when I met the archmage in the future.
The black sun was skewed, and slowly the fog began to rise around the camp, and the sky gradually became dark.
"Hey" looked at Adams who was sleeping next to him, I tightened the fur blanket on my body and turned over, this is also the first time I can lie down in this different world, not to mention the rush ahead, they are all half-nights and half-nights on duty, although nothing happened, but I also feel a strong sense of insecurity.
"I can't go back," I put away my melancholy, forbade myself from thinking any more, closed my eyes and began to sleep.
・・・・・・
"I'll tell you, you can't trust anyone other than your teammates in the field"
"Why"
"Because of greed, you have treasures to kill you, you are weaker than others to kill you, on this continent, if you want to live, then you have to be stronger than others"
"Well, you're right"
Along the way, I became a curious baby, what Adams said, I had to ask why, 100,000 why, but Adams was also good-tempered, and explained everything he knew to me, and he didn't know it, he just didn't hear it. The first time he didn't say it, I really thought he didn't hear it, and if I didn't say it again, I knew it was him who didn't know.
We walked very fast, leaving the camp and turning around, and it took us half an morning to shake off all the people who followed us, and we also deeply experienced the sinister nature of this society.
"At this rate, we'll be able to reach the Resident Glade in about two days," Adams said, looking at the map in his hand.
"Well, okay, are we on our way for these two nights?"
"It's going to be in a hurry, or it's going to take 3 days to get there, and I've counted the night," Adams narrowed.
"Okay, I know" I said weakly, this pit goods, when I came out, I realized that he didn't bring dry food to drink, and when I asked, I said that I didn't bring him anymore, and he didn't have any money. Damn, this pit teammate's goods.
The first day passed like this, probably because none of the monsters in the camp were destroyed by any adventurer, and we didn't meet a single one until the evening.
It was foggy at night, we lit the only torch to move forward, and the fire could only shine within a range of 10 meters, Adams, a heartless guy, didn't know to worry at all, but I had a trace of coolness, so I was a little nervous about traveling, although I also destroyed some monsters, but I still have a great fear of them, only a few lowest-level monsters are enough for us to toss, in case a big guy comes out, we don't die directly.
"Woo, woo, woo" The three zombies walked towards the firelight.
"Howl," Adams exclaimed, and rushed forward with his sword and shield in hand, I wondered if he had orc blood. But I'm not idle under my hands, "Fire Bomb Technique, go"
-40
The fastest zombie was beaten to half blood by me.
-20, Block, -40
Adams took a beating, but was blocked, and the zombie was killed by my second fire bomb spell, but this experience is really pitiful, so I was given 5 experience points.
The other two zombies were still tireless and fearless in their rush towards us, and they were easily dealt with by us.
Hey, the 3 zombies are also poor ghosts, and they don't have any items except for contributing 5 gold coins.
"I didn't encounter any monsters during the day, and I came out at night, is there any cave around here?" Adams still chattered.
I ignored him, and now it seems that our combat effectiveness has no problem dealing with scattered mobs, as long as I am careful, I fantasize about a lot of gold coins flying towards me.
"Bang"
-10
Oops, who attacked me, I just felt a fire in my back, and I lost a quarter of my blood.
"Oh no, it's the Devil of Peromination" I spun around and stood back to back with Adams
"We are surrounded, with two Sinking Demons and one Sinking Wizard behind us"
"There are four Sinking Demons on my side, fighting like this?" Adams asked.
"Kill the Fallen Demon Wizard in the back first, you rush over, we will kill it as soon as possible"
"No, what should you do if I pass?"
"The damage of the Sinking Demon to me should not break the defense, even if the defense is broken, it is 1 damage, I can hold on, kill the Sinking Demon Wizard, they should escape."
Adams didn't speak, he turned from my back and rushed over, chanting fire balls at the same time
"Fire Bomb, Go"
-35
The Wizard of Destruction's HP is shown.,125/160.,It's good that it's not an elite monster.。
The Wizard of Destruction was furious, and although he didn't lose a lot of health, he still provoked it, and shook its wooden staff, and a fireball flew towards me
-10
There's no way to hide, I'm already surrounded by the Sinking Demon, and I can't even dodge left and right
-1,-1,-1,-1
The four Sinking Demons caused me 3 points of damage, and it turned out that if I didn't break the defense, I would be forced to drop a little blood, and that high-level monster or high-level adventurer really had the possibility of being ground to death by the mobs, and the undead army may have a lot of advantages.
-15,-15,-15
"Hurry up," Adams shouted as he chopped over there, I was dizzy, I was still thinking about running hair at such a critical juncture, it was really fatal.
"Fire Bomb"
-40,-15,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1
I hit the Fallen Demon Wizard at the same time as Adams' attack, and I was attacked by 5 Fallen Demons, and although I didn't break the defense, the pain of the blood still made me grin.
"Addams is back, look at me for a second it"
"Fire Bomb"
-25
The Wizard of the Fallen Devil lay down gorgeously.
The five Fallen Demons who besieged me screamed and fled in all directions, and now that we kill them, there will be no more wizards to resurrect them.
In a short time, we wiped out all the Fallen Demons of this small team, 6 Sinking Demons, and 1 Sinking Demon Wizard contributed 14 gold coins and 1 light healing potion to restore 60 HP.
Adams didn't take any damage in this fight, I checked my HP, 11/41, it was scary, and I had a little bit of happiness for the rest of my life.
I'm just a mage, or a thin-skinned mage with no great skills, and it's incredible that I've survived to this point, but I'm glad I didn't choose to venture alone. If I were a human being, I wouldn't even be sure if I was alive right now.
I took out a bottle of light healing potion from the ring and took it, and my blood increased by 30 points in an instant, 41/41, and then my heart fell. If your life is gone, what's the use of adding points? I directly called up the stats panel and added all the 5 available bonus points to my stamina, and my stamina and my health increased by 5 at the same time.
"It's too dangerous to walk in the middle of the night, why don't we find a relatively safe place to hide?" I was a little reluctant to move on.
"Okay, let's take a look around, I hear water, there should be a bridge ahead, let's rest on the bridge," Adams said.
