Act Seventy-Nine: The King of the Underworld (Part 3, Stay Tuned)
"What kind of text is this?" This time it was Metisa's turn to ask.
"As the old saying goes, 'He who wields this sword is the natural master of the earth,'" replied Brando, with a strange heart.
"My lord, do you know the ancient language?" Now the little silver elf girl was surprised, not only her, but even Ortales was stunned.
Archaic lore is a pre-Archaic language, even older than the history of the Dragon of Dusk - in other words, those backgrounds were meaningless in the past games - like the distant mountain background, which can only be viewed from a distance and has nothing to do with the era in which the player lives.
Brando coughed, realizing his mistake, and hurriedly replied, "I've seen some of them in the ancient books of the Wizards of the Black Tower, but I think there should be more records from the artisan wizards in Buga." ”
Medisa nodded, but Otales gave him a suspicious look.
Brando didn't look at the two of them, but couldn't wait to check the attributes of the Earth Sword. Although he had heard of the name of this sword before, it was impossible for him to have the opportunity to get his hands on such a thing-as a forty-five-level fantasy-level longsword, the price of this thing in the era of its birth was sky-high, and Brando couldn't even think of it.
However, although he was mentally prepared, as soon as he opened the attribute, he couldn't help but be startled:
Sword of the Earth, Harangya
【Gold】
34-42 (hardness/sharpness)
+22 Strength, +17 Dexterity, +20 Constitution
Additional Skills:
Earthquake: Automatically casts a Rock Fang Lunge in the direction of the wielder's attack (strength depends on the wielder's strength).
Elemental Lord: The Sword Bearer can summon six obsidian leopards to fight for himself.
Stone's Nest: Consumes (Grey Crystal) to spawn Rock Leopards at a rate of 1 stone/day (holds 10/300, can turn off/on this ability).
(Lair Upgrade - Obsidian Leopard, Required Materials: Magic Dark Crystal, Stone Key, Sage Slate, Amber Rough X6)
Brando couldn't help but scream three times in his heart when he saw this thing, first of all, 34-42 points of damage will throw off other weapons of the same level three streets, it seems that the sword of the earth should have an attack addition, because even other fantasy swords of the same level are at least one-third inferior to it in damage.
Again, although Brando already knew the skills of the Earthquake and the Elemental Lord, the attributes of the Stone Nest behind him stunned the young man - at that moment, he only had one term left in his mind:
Move the nest.
It is well known that there are various nests in the world of Vagond, and some equipment can even spawn magical creatures on a regular basis, which is known as a mobile nest among players - Brando has never seen anything like it, and the ring on his hand is a similar thing at the moment.
However, the Queen's Ring is obviously much more powerful, and it is significantly more difficult to make the equipment have the nature of the Holy Land than to inject the rules of the nest into the magic equipment. But what really shocked Brando was that the lair could be upgraded
Generally speaking, a primordial nest can initially be upgraded twice, and even if this stone nest is upgraded once, but the obsidian leopard of the next level has at least the strength of the black iron peak, as long as he can master this thing for a year, then wouldn't he have at least three hundred black iron peak creatures under his command to command?
What if the nest is still in its original state?
What if this lair is a special lair, and it can only be leveled up twice?
Brando's heart fluttered when he thought about it, and even the corners of his mouth moved unconsciously. But he immediately had new troubles, it was not easy to upgrade this thing, the magic black crystal was okay, and with the alchemy master Tama here, Brando was not worried that he would not be able to make it.
The raw materials of this thing are nothing more than dark crystals and magic essences, and they are not difficult to get their hands on.
And the Sage Slate, now Brando's head is big when he sees it, and his adventures in Chablis have left a psychological shadow on him. Fortunately, at least it was available on the market, and he might soon have to make a trip to Ampesel, where it shouldn't be too difficult to get his hands on a sage slate.
And the last two are in trouble.
Amber rough is a regulated product in any country, it is the power source of magic power, and this thing actually has two names. The secondary ore is called Somur Ore, and the purest ore is called Amber Rough, and Brando thinks that he can only find a way to secretly get some Somur Rough Ore if he wants to prepare the magic workshop for Antitina, and this is still difficult, so where does he go to get these Amber Roughs?
Brando can only think of mining by himself when he thinks about it, there are many mining areas that have not been discovered in this era, but they are all in the wilderness, and he seems to have this ability for a while.
As for the Stone Key at the end, it's even more complicated. There are many things in the elemental realm, but mortals can't enter the elemental realm, and there are very few of them in the main material plane.
Brando thinks that maybe changing it to the in-game phrase would be more indicative of the rarity of this thing. That thing is necessary for the player's guild to build a city on its own and become a lord.
He patted his head, a little headache.
But it was at this time that the loud voice sounded again:
"Mortal, are you ready for the challenge ahead?"
The sound was deafening, drowning out the other voices on the field. Everyone was silent, and they all turned their attention back from the sword in Brando's hand, only then did they remember that they were still in this inexplicable arena.
Of course, Brando was about to answer, but it was at this moment that a voice stopped him.
"Mister"
He was familiar with the voice, it was the voice of the emaciated young man named Curwen. He looked back to the boys, and the boys were still in cages, and while Curran had rescued some of them, at least half of them were still in cages.
Brando looked at the emaciated teenager and probably guessed what the other man meant by stopping him. But he didn't intend to say yes - first of all, he knew his strength, and he would never be able to pass the sixth challenge, and accept the fate of defeat and defeat.
Secondly, he vaguely estimated that the appearance of this sanctuary was probably related to these teenagers. He had to say that these guys were so bold that they knew there was something strange under the mine and dared to mess around, but since they had chosen, they were responsible for what they did, and even their actions affected others - not to mention how many miners were killed in this landslide, if it weren't for his strength, he, Juta, Akane and Medisa might have ended up trapped here.
Brando, though he doesn't think there's anything wrong with a person having compassion, does have his own principles, and a woman's kindness is not the same as true kindness. Therefore, he shook his head, and before the other party could continue, he rejected the other party's offer.
He beckoned to Ortales and Métisa, and led them out of the field.
"Wait," Curwen stopped him again, "sir, I'm not asking for your sympathy," the boy shouted from the cage.
This time Brando was stunned and stopped.
"I want to make a deal with you," said the boy, "sir, you can choose to agree or disagree, the choice is yours, but let me tell me the conditions?" ”
Brando raised his head and looked at the sky, the Mandate of Heaven Arena was very humane, and the host seemed to see the qiē below, and the voice of urging from above did not appear again.
"You say." The young man thought for a moment and nodded. He was a little curious, what deal could these seemingly penniless, impoverished teenagers make with him?
Even if they are willing to serve themselves, what can they do? These teenagers don't have much strength, and they are only miners themselves, and Brando doesn't mind containing some followers, but the price is too great for him to consider.
He looked at each other, and suddenly remembered that when he went here, he eavesdropped on the conversation of these teenagers on the mountain road. The Maher seemed to mention that there was something worthless and strange about this thin boy, and he thought it could be the one.
Brando frowned, to be honest he wasn't optimistic about this transaction, he knew that some NPCs liked to collect some weird knick-knacks, just like little Roman; But there aren't many things that are really valuable, and he's been fooled several times in the game.
But the young man still had this patience, and he stood there, silently waiting for the other party to bring something out.
But Cowen fumbled in his arms for a while, and then took out something that Brando would never have thought of - a fate card - Brando's face suddenly became strange, he would never have thought that Cowen actually had this thing in his hand, and he hit him with a blow.
That's right in the middle.
Brando, who continues to get surprises and benefits from the profession of Traveling Mage, can now be said to have a keen interest in fate cards - even though he knows that the sixth challenge is hopeless, he can't help but be subconsciously moved when he sees it.
It's like a collector seeing something good that makes your heart flutter.
He saw that it was a fire-based card, and the contents of the card made the young man feel excited again:
Lord of Firepaw
(Tribe of Fire I)
20 fire
[Creature - Fireclaw Lizard/Warrior, Level 33 Elite]
Warlike.
When the Fireclaw Lord is on the field, all Fireclaw clans on the field add 1 combat counter.
Pay Fire 1 and all Fireclaw Spearmen on the field gain 'Charge.'
When the Fireclaw Lord is on the field, pay 1 Fortune, 1 Reputation per day.
'The lord is the best commander of the Infernal Legion—'
Brando didn't know what that so-called combat counter was, but he at least knew that it definitely gave a bonus to the minions after equipping the counters. What's more, the card itself is a level 33 elite, which is a summon of the golden primary.
Not to mention its ability to provide the Fireclaw Spearman with charge, which was a real hit for Brando's vital point; He had a Fireclaw Spearman card in his hand, a deck that was more of a rarity than a shelf, according to Charles, and he knew what the boy meant—but should he choose to continue the challenge?
The sixth challenge was almost unsuccessful, but Brando was unwilling to give up for a while, and he couldn't help but be in a dilemma.
"My lord," Medisa said, "it's a silver card, pay attention to its number, it should be the core card of the Fire Tribe"
Brando was stunned for a moment, only to notice that the Lord of Flame's number in the deck was I, and most of the cards numbered I were the core cards of the suite, as Charles and Medisa had told him.
Now he was even more embarrassed.
