289 Kobold Slaves

Shalasi knew that she was in trouble, and she hid behind little Lori and didn't dare to come out, Wutong's teeth were itchy but she didn't scold her, just now after all, he didn't explain it clearly, but the [Energy Pill] and [Refreshing Potion] consumed by the mages, plus the dozen or so scrolls he used up himself, the value added up to more than a thousand gold coins, and the rewards they could get from killing this group of ferocious rats in the Adventure Guild were not even a fraction of the consumption, and they lost their money!

[Energy Pill] and [Refreshing Elixir], plus spell scrolls, pills or something, it's good to say, the great thing is that the materials are slightly more expensive than the blood recovery potion, but the spell scroll, it's not money that can solve the problem.

Copying a scroll is not just a matter of transcribing spells and runes of a spell on parchment, but it is also necessary to inject soul energy points equivalent to 25 times the energy required to release the spell into the scroll instead of arcane energy to make it effective.

At present, Sycamore unleashes a level 0 level 22 [Lightning Shock] (Battle Mage Vest: Plastic Energy Spell Power +2), which consumes about 306 energy points (energy consumption is equal to the amount of magic damage caused).

In other words, if he wanted to transcribe a level 0 and level 22 [Lightning Shock] scroll, in addition to the cost of materials required to copy the scroll, he would have to inject 7,650 soul energy points into the scroll!

This is still without considering the probability of successful transcription, without considering the labor and time consumed, once the transcription fails, not to mention the busy work, all the materials will be scrapped, and the injected soul energy points will also dissipate!

The most important thing is that the number of scrolls that a mage can copy every day is limited, it will take him more than an hour to copy a level 0 and 10 [lightning shock] scroll, and every time he copies a spell into the scroll, the spell will disappear from the spell that he can use at the time, and he can no longer use the spell that day, and he can copy about ten scrolls a day at most.

*[Included Spell Level × Caster Level × Material Cost = Base Price of the Scroll]

*[The time taken to transcribe the scroll (in days) is equivalent to 1/1000 of the basic price of the scroll (in gold coins)]

When Wutong was "studying in retreat" on the Island of Trials, because he didn't use spells, he simply copied each spell into a scroll for backup, but after such a long time, the spell scrolls he had accumulated were only a few hundred, and so far, his [Transcription Scroll] specialty has not been able to rise to the full level of Level 0:

[General Specialty]: Level 0 Level 10 [5740/10000], Proficiency 57.4%; This shows how high the transcription failure rate is!

The higher the level of the spell being copied, the more difficult it becomes, the longer it takes to transcribe, and for every 10% increase in proficiency, the success rate of copying the current level of the scroll is +10%.

After consuming a lot of time, money, and soul energy points, Wutong found that even if he mastered the cheat of the Endless Hut, it was still difficult to bring up the level of expertise, and he was really afraid of burning money, so he didn't dare to copy the 10-level spell scroll with lofty ambitions, but retreated to only copy the 0-level 5-level spells with a higher success rate, and even copied the 0-level 0-level 0 spells, and slowly rushed to the proficiency.

[Meditation] specialty, [Transcription Scroll] specialty, [Summoning Demon Pet] specialty, these three specialties are very popular spellcaster specialties, as long as the conditions are met, you can spend money to learn from the NPC mentor, so theoretically, there should be many players of the caster profession who have learned these specialties, but at present, there are no scrolls for sale in the player market, why is this? Needless to say, you should know the answer, right?

The scrolls copied by the mages are not enough for themselves, let alone take them out and sell them, prepare more scrolls, for the mages who are slow to release spells, it is a life-saving trick at a critical time, and no one will be stupid enough to sell the scrolls that have been copied with great difficulty.

In addition, even if they wanted to sell it, how much should a Tier 0 and Tier 0 scroll sell for?

Don't talk about others, let's just say that Wutong, a guy with a cheat, according to his current proficiency of "57.4% at level 0 and level 10", he must copy at least 2~3 scrolls to be able to succeed in 1 level 10 scroll, and if he is unlucky, he even has to copy 4~5 to succeed in 1!

The cost price of a level 10 scroll is 50 gold coins, the cost of a level 5 scroll is 25 gold coins, and the cost of a level 0 scroll is 5 gold coins.

Sell it for 5 gold at cost? The skull is broken, right? Whose material is lost? Whose souls can be counted?

Convert the lost materials and soul energy points into the cost and sell them for 50 gold coins?

People who are neurotic will spend 50 gold coins to buy a 0-level 0-level scroll!

The dozen or so scrolls that Wutong threw away just now are all level 5 scrolls, although the effect is weaker, but the ferocious rat used to block the charge is still enough! But when I threw it up, it was painful, and when I threw it away, Wutong's heart was dripping blood!

Whether it's a scroll, a pill, or a potion, which one doesn't have a glittering gold mark on it? So that's it, the mage either doesn't use his hands, and if he throws it out with his hands, it's not a spell, but it's a gold coin!

Do you know why mages are obviously the richest profession, and they can do a lot of gold to do anything, but no matter how much gold they make, they can't use it, right?

I could only comfort myself for a while, and Wutong gritted her teeth and said to Sarasi as "gently" as possible: "Xiaosha! Won't we lead so many lines at once next time? I think twenty or thirty is about the same, huh? ”

The elemental wind bat trembled and hid behind the little Lori and nodded timidly, and with a wave of Wutong's hand, he hurriedly flapped his wings and flew out in a panic, luring the blame for his sins.

Wutong was distressed to death, but he didn't know the price of the mage's battle, but the warrior players who had seen the mage's strong combat power were all excited, and they took the initiative to start cleaning the battlefield, cutting off the left ear of the ferocious rat and putting it into a sack to collect it.

The group of mages in July Flowing Fire were also cooled by the spell bombardment that had no scruples just now, and their eyes lit up and they dragged the energy pills and refreshing potions that Wutong had given them to defend themselves in their hands, they had never participated in such a cool battle, and they obviously planned to do it again later.

"3 gold coins for energy pills, 30 gold coins for refreshing elixirs, a bottle of 'Trace Energy Pills [Special Effects]' in your hands, a total of 50 pieces, worth 150 gold coins, and a set of 'Micro Energizing Pills [Special Effects]' a total of 20 bottles, worth 600 gold coins."

Wutong Yin said behind the group of mages who had already forgotten: "If you plan to eat these pills for food, I don't mind recording them in your account and returning them to me in the future!" ”

All the mages are cold!

After glancing at each other, the group gave up the plan to directly swallow pills for spell bombardment for a while, sat down on the spot to meditate, and quickly recovered their energy.

Their [meditation] expertise,Basically, they have practiced to level 20,The natural recovery speed of energy value is +20 points/minute,200 points/minute in the meditation state,With their total energy value of only a few hundred points,You can get back full after sitting for a few minutes,But preparing a spell will consume one or two hundred points,That's why mages can't participate in actual combat.,Can't everyone's axes be cut to your head.,You still sit on the ground and meditate to restore your energy, right?

Saras, who was frightened by the sycamore, caused a strange thing, and it was not so crazy, and there were only twenty or thirty in a wave, and at most there were no more than fifty, in this case, the mages could eliminate a round with almost no need to use supplies.

And after the warriors learned about the horror of the group of mages behind them, they gradually became familiar with the key to cooperating with the mages, an adventure group of 50 people.

The mage's [Acid Splash] does not have much damage from direct hits, and the direct magic damage is only one or two hundred points, which is not enough to kill the Tier 1 Arcane Beast Ferocious Rat in seconds, but the [Corrosion: 20/120s~] state caused by [Acid Splash] can corrode 2400 points of health of the Ferocious Rat within two minutes.

Therefore, there is no need for the mages to release spells frantically, as long as there is a round of splash hits, and the rest is left for the samurai to resist the monsters, not let them rush in, and wait for them to slowly be corroded to death.

When the monsters in the area within reach of the whole plain where they are slaughtered by them in the same way, all that remains is a happy mouse hole, and every nest of ferocious rats will have a nest, and the location of these nests is easy to find, because they usually like to drag the killed prey back to the cave to eat, and the eaten bones are abandoned near the cave entrance, as long as they see a small pile of bones somewhere, they can find their burrow.

Some players or NPCs are killed by them, and the equipment and items they carry will be dragged back to the cave with the corpse, except for food supplies, the rest are usually not eaten, especially hard metal products, so if you dig their caves, you can often pull out a lot of loot.

After digging through the rat holes on the entire plain, each of them had a lot of "rags" on them, although for Wutong, these little monsters outside the city can have any good things, but for the warriors, these seemingly tattered trophies can be sold for money!

Theoretically speaking, as a mercenary, Wutong has all the ownership of the spoils harvested by the adventure group, but he can't look down on those rags, and the warriors and players are reluctant to throw them away, so they can only send two warriors back to the city to hire a few two-wheeled carriages to come over, and transport all the broken copper and iron piled up like a hill back to the city to dispose of.

Wutong, who felt that the team was almost running-in, asked Lingyue Shuangxue, who was quite familiar with the neighborhood: "Is there equipment produced in this neighborhood?" Especially the French equipment? ”

"French equipment? There are very few wild monsters in the legal system! Only the small boss monster of the legal system comes out"

Lingyue Shuangxue thought for a while, and said: "If you want to play equipment, then we will go to the task of brushing the 20-person group [Destroy the Unicorn Kobold Settlement], usually there can be dozens to hundreds of kobold in a kobold settlement, and there will be at least two or three kobold wizards, and they will occasionally have legal equipment on them." ”

Wutong nodded: "Then kill it!" ”

The team, which had already run in quite well, quickly turned around and took it away to the hilly woodland where the kobold settlements were distributed, and while walking, they knew through a smile that Wutong had just arrived in Fairhaven City, and Lingyue Shuangxue, who didn't know much about the situation around here, reminded Wutong and said: "The scattered kobolds are very weak, but it should be noted that the kobolds here are not the 0th-order 7th-level kobolds on the Trial Island, the lowest are all 1st order kobolds, and the danger is much higher than the kobolds on the Trial Island!" In particular, the formation of settlements, groups of kobolds, because of the command of the kobold small boss, their fighting style is similar to that of us players, they also use weapons and skills, and they are divided into different classes"

The team that left didn't notice that in the plain area where they had just eliminated the Ferocious Rats, a team of players in cloaks appeared there, and after searching the vicinity, the two player leaders in the lead nodded silently and quickly followed the trail they left behind

Although the environment is different, the life habits of the kobold have not changed, and like the trial island, they also like to dig holes in the ground to make nests, and under the small hills, almost all of them have been hollowed out, more than dozens, less than a dozen, forming a small settlement.

Humanoids are much more difficult to fight than beasts, and kobolds use slings and throw rough short spears.

Sycamore, who was almost smashed on the head by a stone, had to send ten warriors to cover the stones and short spears that shot at each mage's side, this short humanoid monster, once there are enough of them, they will become bolder, and even dare to rush to the pipeline to rob pedestrians and caravans, but once they find that the enemy is not something they can deal with, they will immediately run away, it is a very despicable creature.

But with the mage present, the [Stun Technique] that basically knows how to do it comes in handy, and ten [Stun Technique] can basically break down the offensive of a small group of kobolds.

This group of warriors hired by the sycamore has not beaten the ferocious rats, kobolds and goblins in the surrounding areas of Fairhaven City, but they have never felt so relaxed and happy, they only need to hold their shields to block several waves of long-range attacks launched by the kobolds, and when they are stunned by the mages, they can rush up and chop them all to death like a turnip, and there will be no more half-hitting, and the kobolds will find that they can't run away.

The monster in "Endless" will run away, this setting is very disgusting, you are about to beat a monster to death, but it turns around and runs, and it runs very fast! After a while, it came back and called a group of helpers to beat you, which made you vomit blood.

But it's much easier to have a mage's field control spell, when the kobolds attack, a wave of [Freezing Ray] passes, freezing them all, and when they want to escape, a wave of [Stun Technique] passes, and they can't run if they want to!

In particular, it is most enjoyable to wait for the rabbits at the entrance of the kobold settlement, and when the kobolds hide back in the cave, they can smoke them out like rabbits by blocking their exits and throwing a smoke stick bought from the alchemy store into the hole.

In this case, there is a certain chance that the kobolds who cannot escape will "surrender" to the player, and if they have [shackles] bought from the grocery store, they can be captured alive, and the live kobolds can be sold to established slave traders, although a kobold is not worth much, but in the case of being captured alive, it is possible to order the kobold captives to work, such as making them carry captured supplies or something.

Of course, you can't keep kobolds as little brothers, these lizard-like dwarfs are very good at running away, and if you don't tie them [shackles], they will run away as soon as you turn your head!

If you have to get a few kobold brothers, you can go directly to the slave dealer to buy kobold slaves, and the kobold slaves who have been trained by the slave traders all bring a special [slave collar], and there is no way to escape, even if they really run away, as long as the master calls, the kobold slaves controlled by the [slave collar] will involuntarily run back again.

A kobold can only sell a few silver coins to a slave trader, but if you want to buy a kobold slave, it will be expensive, and the most rubbish kobold slave will cost dozens of gold coins!

Because I don't know when I will use it, so Sycamore almost bought a few pieces of each of all the strange props in the grocery store, and after they beat four or five kobolds, they really caught several kobolds, and Sycamore was in the surprised eyes of a group of soldiers, like a robot cat, took out a few pairs of shackles from the backpack, locked up the surrendered kobolds, and tied them with ropes.

This can make little Lori happy.,She giggled like a dog walking and ran around with a kobold.,But the unlucky kobold can't run fast at all when he's shackled.,In the end, I can only be dragged to the ground by the strange little Lori.,Screaming and rolling all over the ground.,It's a sweat to see everyone! This child must not buy her a pet dog, and it won't take an afternoon for her to be played to death!

Another use for captured kobolds is to tie them up with ropes and let them climb into the low caves of the kobold settlement, and take out all the loot inside, if there are no kobold captives, the players themselves have to climb into the smelly kobold cave to dig out things, which is also a very painful job!
