Chapter 48: The Iron Spider Mine

Bell reacted very well to Raven's proposal, and Raven could clearly see almost every white hair of Bell standing up in horror.

I never thought that such a huge bear man could be cute.

"Boss...... I haven't done anything for you, but you can't just castrate me! ”

Raven was dumbfounded, and when he asked, Bell's reason made Raven cry and laugh. The reason is this: although they are also bears, the white fur also yearns for the strength and ferocity of the armored bear, although the armored bear was once a terrible bear creature, but now it has become two different species, and they cannot produce offspring with the bear creature.

"Boss, I just gave birth to a litter with Maria, and I want to earn money to go back to my hometown to have a few more children, you can't do this to me! The bear life of the rest of my life! Woooooo "After all, this thing really cried like a wolf, and frightened the horses pulling the cart.

Raven was speechless.

Finally, after the howl was finished, Raven explained, "The Armored Bear is a magical beast. You can't really turn into an armored bear! I was wondering if I could get a set of transplanted armor and put it on you to use as armor. ”

Bell's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he barely missed jumping up and giving Raven another bear hug.

"Get out! Frightened horses, you walk on your own. ”

When Bell heard this, he shrank back in shame on the spot.

In Raven's plan, he needs a meat shield. Don't look at Bell's current appearance of being able to resist and resist, the thick fur of the half-orcs can't play after reaching the silver level.

Not to mention the master, there are at least a hundred ways to hang a slow warrior like Bai Mao. The sharp equipment of other professions alone is enough for Bai Mao to die eight hundred times.

Half-orcs and orc armor are the most difficult to get across the continent. One is that both human and dwarven nations don't want good armor to flow into the hands of these warlike guys, consciously or unconsciously. The second is that the huge size of orcs and orcs is too large, and the materials required for armor have to be doubled several times compared to humans and dwarves.

Often, orcs and half-orcs could only use rough leather armor made of their own, and even branded whole pieces of pig iron on their chests during wartime.

Therefore, a good set of armor is the dream of almost all orcs and half-orcs.

In the place where Raven envisioned the Bronze Body Trial, he could get something that Bell could use.

Here, Raven is taking Bell on his way.

On the other side, Karin, who was in penance, received a message from Raven.

"Yo, the latest news, the owner of the carriage you appointed has returned. It seems that his strength has increased greatly, and now he has broken through the name of 'Shadow Walker'. ”

Karin swooped down like a nimble bird, snatched the note from her new friend's hand, read it over and over again, and then put it in her heart and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Is that him? But his name is Rex. ”

"That's right, it's him." Feeling the clear pulsation of the soul connection, Karin's face flushed.

"Ho, your little lover is doing a good job! Won the Shadow Festival. ”

This time, Karin's face instantly turned red like a steamed prawn: "Anna, he's my brother!" ”

"Biological?"

Biting her lip, Karin blushed and eventually shook her head weakly.

"That's not it!" Anna smiled and blessed Karin. In the teachings of the Church of Love and Goodness, all love should be above board. Showing love to the people you love is the most important part of every festival. Therefore, these female believers who dare to love and hate never shy away from talking about love.

Raven didn't know about Karin's side. He was heading west, aiming for the Iron Spider Mine, a hundred kilometers from the town of Shaloth.

There, there was the trial Raven wanted and the legacy of the Trap Warlock he wanted.

Originally, in Raven's vision, it should be the best choice to obtain the divinity of the phantom goddess Leila. With phantom divinity, you can directly open an extremely rare class in the game in your previous life - Phantom Swordsman. This class is positioned somewhere between a swordsman and a shadow dancer.

With the dazzling speed of the Swordsman, the Shadow Dancer's powerful life-saving skills, and most importantly, thanks to the presence of Phantom divinity, you can summon a powerful Phantom Clone with the same aura as you and can deal a lot of damage at any time.

It's a pity that because a poor ghost goddess is stingy with her divinity, Raven's exchange falls through. Although I got the embryo of the artifact, the complaints in my heart are indispensable.

This way doesn't work, after completing the bronze body, if Raven can't get the murder divinity in the short term, then he has to consider whether to activate his mechanism warlock bloodline as soon as possible.

Exercising your body and activating your bloodline, as well as finding Bell's armor, the Iron Spider Mine is definitely the best choice.

Much of the southern part of the Golden City is a desolate and barren land. Raven and Bell travel as they travel along, encountering intermittent landmarks along the way—massive basalt rocks that match Raven's memories of the journey.

These boulders are traces of ancient volcanic eruptions that now look like beacons in the desert, guiding Raven's direction.

Early in the morning of the fourth day out of the town of Shaleth, the wide road gradually turned into a gravel road, leading to another basalt boulder in the distance. When following the stone path around the east side of the boulder, there were two guard towers carved out of the boulder, and the arrow holes on them made Bai Mao tense for a moment.

"It's okay, it's a legacy from the dwarven period. But the dwarves left here two hundred years ago, and there should be only a few poor families left here who have nowhere to go. ”

Passing through the path between the two guard towers, the two men were amazed to find that the endless desert was gone, and in place of the tedious sea of sand was a ruined village, with thatched huts and barren fields stretching out from an ancient stone tower on either side.

"Hell, how does this look so much like my hometown." Bell muttered.

Admittedly, the orcs who lost the war were driven to fend for themselves in the desert. In the thousand-year-old history of the continent of Ultron, there is no shortage of history of mutual attacks between orc tribes and human empires.

Raven is now a half-elf, but he still doesn't want to take on the topic.

The village of Iron Spider in front of you is built on the ruins of an ancient dwarven trading station. In ancient times, it served the clandestine mining activities of the most powerful Bronze Helmet tribes. What was once a dwarven building is now a scattered foundation and a lone watchtower. However, the wells and water storage systems carefully built by the dwarves are still in use, allowing the human inhabitants to cultivate and survive on this barren land.

Outsiders like Raven and Whitefur are rare, and the peasants working in the fields stare at the strange pair with puzzled eyes.

No one dared to greet Raven and the two, only the most curious children came over and chirped this and that.

Raven and his wife stayed in the village for only one night, replenished food and water, and continued their journey.

At noon the next day, they came to a strange super-giant stone sculpture made of ancient basalt and carved into a huge eight-legged spider, each leg of which was an arched hillside, and the spider's mouth was a bottomless hole.

At the entrance to the cave was an iron fence, apparently artificially added from behind, on which was written in lingua franca and dwarven language: "Turn back! There are only spiders in the cave! There is only one consequence of forced entry - death! ”

"Spiders?" Bell's fur trembled visibly, "Boss, anyway, I'm not good at these furry things." ”

Raven gave him a blank look, took out the breastplate part of Ellison's full-body armor from the storage bracelet and handed it to Bell.

"I've activated the sum above, so you can use it as a shield first."

Bell blinked, not understanding: "When did the spider learn to shoot arrows?" ”

"You'll find out later."

"Hey, boss, where did you get so much?"

Magic scrolls are a good thing, as long as the intelligence is not too low, and the corresponding opening magic spell can be recited correctly to release the corresponding magic in the scroll. Anyone with a little magical talent can use it, but it's a pity that it's too expensive. Even a high-level mage who can unleash 7-ring spells can only make one or two 5-ring spell scrolls every day by vomiting blood.

This has also led to the reels being consistently high in price.

This pile of healing scrolls almost bankrupted Raven.

Of course, money is a bastard, there is no point in saving it, it has to be spent where it should be used, and that money is money. Otherwise, the coin is just a meaningless pile of metal.

"Bell, the time has come to test you, and you must remember that you must not take a step back after you go in without my consent."

"Oh! Got it! ”

Holding the Mithril cuirplate as a shield in one hand and a torch in the other, when Bell walked more than two hundred meters in the cave, he finally knew why spiders shoot arrows.

"Horrors! There are so many horrors! Bell screamed.

In front of Bell was a whole bunch of mechanical dreads. These are sapient spider-like creatures that spotted Bell without warning and fired a salvo at Bell with their pressure javelins.

It's true that Bell has a shield, but he's bigger, and he's shot on the spot. The thick fur he was proud of was as thin as paper under these javelins!

"Boss, I can't stand it!" Bell yelled.

"What did I say?" Raven asked rhetorically in the distance behind him.

"I can't take a step back without your consent!" Bell responded almost with tears in his eyes.

"That's right!"

Half a minute passed.

"Boss...... I've bled so much, I'm going to die! ”! A flash of light flashed in the distance, and Bell's wounds were rapidly healing. The monster tried to find the caster, but couldn't find a target.

After another moment.

"Boss...... I can't do it again! I lost so much blood and was a little dizzy! ”!

"Boss...... It's not something that can be done with healing, and I can't pull out a javelin stuck in my ass! ”

――

"Boss...... I ......" This time, Bell simply fainted
