Chapter 159: Transformation of Combat Power
A faster reaction to the enemy makes it easier for Lalu to get the upper hand. This still has a certain effect on a nimble light infantryman. If you can counterattack the first move in a raid, the chances of the cat boy cutting to the opponent's caster will also be greatly increased. Of course, this is not a key factor, so it can only be said that it is a small supplement.
And the rest of the immunity depletion, in the hands of some special professions, can be said to turn decay into magic - that's right! It refers to the barbarians who enter a period of weakness immediately after the fury. After these three-second real men have this pair of good shoes that fit, at least they can save some combat power after they completely wither.
Of course, for Laru, the greatest effect of this immunity is to use it against certain vicious spells, as well as similar abilities - after all, in the battle on the roof of the temple in Winterspring that night, a wave of exhaustion by Mage Shoshone almost completely wiped out the catboy. If it weren't for the extravagant rationing of the 'Secondary Restoration' potion by the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce, Lalu would not have been able to recover a certain amount of combat power in a short period of time.
It was precisely because of that experience that this pair of wanderers was assigned to the catboy. If Lalu had this strange object under his feet that night, the tide of the battle might have changed dramatically. In the unlikely event that Mage Shoshone is left behind, or if he is seriously injured. Then the next battle to defend the temple will never be as hard as it was later.
As for the rest of the loot, it was successfully identified by Rielly. I also found a ring that can fire 3 arcane missiles per day, and a necklace that activates the shield once a day. 2 one-time items that anyone can inspire, iridescent gems (1 ring of colorful jets stored inside).
Of course, in addition to these items that can be used by anyone, the scrolls left by those spellcasters are temporarily kept by Rielly. After all, these consumables are only in Rieli's hands. to be able to maximize their role. And those spell books can only be temporarily hidden.
After all, every mage's spellbook often uses a set of personal signs, columns, notes, and passwords to record spell research. Although the basic language and concepts are the same, no mage can simply take someone else's spellbook and immediately prepare a spell with that unfamiliar spellbook.
Even when a mage tries to read another mage's spell book, the reader must use the 'read magic' spell or try to perform an observation spell check. to discern the true purpose of the spell. It was useless to the mage until it was fully deciphered - both from the ancient scrolls found in the ruins towers to the portable notes from enemy storage.
And even one carelessness in the process of interpretation may lead to problems in the construction of the subsequent spell model. The result is unpredictable consequences. Of course, some mages sometimes have to use an unfamiliar spell book to prepare spells, or copy spells from them to their own books. The latter, in particular, is a channel for a significant portion of casters to master new spells.
The most convenient of these is for the mentor to lend spell books to his apprentices. For it is common for mages with apprentices to teach them their own mastery of signs and codes. When a mage attempts to interpret, prepare, or copy a spell from his mentor's (or apprentice's) spellbook by observing a spell check. The difficulty will be greatly reduced.
Of course, the more straightforward approach is to try to decipher and master the specific codes and emblems of the spellbook. And it's a time-consuming study, not some mysterious procedure. If successful, the mage can treat the book as his own, both when preparing and copying spells. There is no longer a need for observation spells and interpretation checks.
Either way, though. It takes a lot of time and energy. A few days of rest in the port area alone is not even a fraction of a fraction. In addition, the whole process of interpretation usually requires full dedication and a good environment. So even if you know that a spell book that has been deciphered, it is possible to give Rielly rare spells and sell them for a good price. But the players still resisted the temptation of this, because the current situation is not suitable for such a big project.
In order to complete the transformation of combat power as quickly as possible, the ring that can fire arcane missiles was given to the anvil to compensate for his lack of long-range strike ability. The necklace of the shield technique was temporarily left in the mage's hand in case of emergency. The iridescent gems were divided between Anvil and Laru. After all, these two don't have a good way to deal with group attacks for the time being. Colorful jets stored in gemstones. Although it can only deal with enemies below level 4. However, its powerful effect still has a very high cost performance when dealing with cannon fodder.
As for the rest of the gems and ornaments. For spells, they're just basic ingredients. Although the price is high on weekdays, in the city of Walkerson during the war, luxury goods such as jewelry are not sold at a high price - gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times are common everywhere. Therefore, players who don't want to be slaughtered can only hoard those jewels in their hands for the time being. Wait until you get back to Bolim and then find a way to exchange them for useful supplies.
After completing the most basic pre-battle preparations, the members of the 'Bloodstained Grey Flower' team began to perform their duties. Klaimatis took on the most important task - obtaining a pass from the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce and buying as many potions as he could to ensure that he had enough means to deal with the unexpected. Barrett himself inquired further and planned a course of action. Rieli restarted the reels in stockpile. Even the dwarves began to maintain the armor and weapons of their teammates. Only Laru and Claudia were left with nothing to do.
"Barrett gave you this." As she spoke, Clematis tossed over an object that looked like a piece of thick paper, and then she took out a few silver-gray badges: "Everyone hangs on the rest." In this way, if we meet our comrades in Walkerson City in the middle of a street fight, we will not have a misunderstanding with each other. So keep them in a prominent position as much as possible. ”
"I didn't expect Walkerson to be so well prepared? They were planning to gather all the forces they could to form a united front against the noble council. After receiving the badge, Barrett observed. I put it on my chest.
Klematis nodded: "That's right! Mercenaries and adventurers who accept the mercenary will be given this badge. So just now, after hearing about our plan, the parishioners immediately solved the pass problem at the same time. Get this thing ready. ”
The anvil that also took the badge, after checking the thing in his hand, pinched it and flicked it. Then he immediately frowned: "But how did you make sure that this thing wouldn't be copied by the noble council?" ”
"There is a magic mark on it, and when you touch each other, a special aura is generated. Judging from the spell system of the Guizhou Council, it still takes a certain amount of time and price to imitate these badges. "Kleimatis, who had a special understanding before, gave an explanation at this time.
"I see. But this only prevents counterfeiting! In case the other party snatches it. It still doesn't seem to be able to cope. The anvil that had already hung the badge on his body was still muttering at this time.
Hearing this, the corners of Barrett's mouth immediately began to rise: "If you are worried about this, you are worried about that." This battle really can't be fought. As long as it is not copied on a large scale, the confusion caused by the badges that have been taken away is a perfectly acceptable price compared to the situation when there was no means of distinguishing at all. ”
"That's right! But those unlucky ones who were trapped. I would never want to consider myself unlucky. Rieli, who was on the side, took Barrett's words at this time and continued.
Barrett still kept that smiling face: "If you let your guard down and be attacked just by seeing the badge." That can only be said that the team that was killed was not mature enough. A qualified warrior will not give up his vigilance easily in that environment. Of course, if the noble council is willing to exchange the lives of their soldiers for trust, then I don't think those who have been cheated will feel that they have lost. ”
"Barrett, your words have always been so hurtful! Luckily, we're in the house, and if someone hears you outside, maybe your fists will be useful again. After distributing the items, Clematis also turned around and teased Barrett.
"The true elite would never think there was anything wrong with what I was saying. As for the rest, just take them straight to the ground. Barrett feels like it doesn't matter, "It's the time of the war, anyway. There are not many means by which they can retaliate. ”
"Forget it! We know we can't talk about you. After saying this, Clematis took out four silver potion bottles from his waist bag: "Three bottles of healing and healing potions for moderate injuries." 1 bottle of Curse Removal Potion is all of today's harvest. ”
"That's it?" Rielly said with some dissatisfaction.
When Clematis heard this, he immediately complained: "My eldest sister! Do you know the current market? Now the price of strategic materials in Walkerson City is skyrocketing. Whether it's weapons or potion scrolls, the price can be said to change from day to day. And a lot of times you can't find a seller even with a bag of gold coins. If it weren't for the recent rise in my status in the church, I wouldn't even be able to get this stuff! And the price is more than 50% more expensive than usual. ”
"With your identity as the golden priest and the golden-eyed messenger, you only got these bottles of potion." Rielly's expression became a little strange at this time, "It seems that the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce has not had a good time lately!" ”
"Not really!" Hearing this, Clematis immediately shook his head: "It's just because this time our church is clearly on the side of the Seven Cities Alliance. Therefore, during this time, it is necessary to supply a large number of consumables such as potion scrolls to the defenders of Walkerson City. So most of the surviving priests' daily efforts have become official supplies. And it's not easy to leave us with that. ”
At this moment, the anvil also touched his beard: "According to the style of your church, I should have made a lot of money this time!" ”
"I was in too much of a hurry to go, and I haven't learned the details from them yet." Crammatis, squinting, feels like saying, 'I don't tell you, I don't tell you, I don't tell you!' ’
While the dwarves were fighting with Klematis, Rielly began to ask Barrett for a proposal, "Then we're almost ready for what we should prepare." Now why don't you go to the bulletin board and get the quest first? ”
"Nope! The goals of several of us are too obvious. I don't think the Noble Council will have spies in the docklands. Speaking of this, Barrett set his eyes on the catboy, "So this job will be handed over to you today by Lalu." Remember to only choose the cumulative kill quest that brings back the token. The remaining degrees of freedom are too low to suit our current situation. ”
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" As he spoke, Lalu pretended to salute Barrett, then turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight. And when he returned, he had two extra pieces of parchment in his hand. The catboy who was running away was not red at this time, and after handing the scroll obediently into Barrett's hands, he immediately retreated to Rielly's side.
"One is to collect the soldier's left ear and the matching badge? The other representative is the badge and sword of the other party's rank and file officer. This is a limited loot collection mission that is indispensable for both. Barrett, who unfolded the scroll, pouted, "It seems that he has suffered a loss of false results before." ”
"It's so strict! It seems that it is not easy to fool around. Rielly, who seemed to be thinking about some kind of ghost before, couldn't help but complain at this time.
But Barrett doesn't think so: "Of course, the stricter the better. This means that there are no problems with the administrative system of Walkerson City. In other words, they will continue to resist the attack of the noble council in an orderly manner. This started very well for our teammates who belonged to the same trench. ”
"Alright, let's go! If there is anything to say, we will wait until we go out, otherwise we will not be able to get out of the pass when the sun goes down. After watching the sunset behind the harbor, Clematis immediately urged.
Barrett then put away the two parchments: "Guys, it's on your way." I wish us a successful start this time. (To be continued.) )
PS: The modification is complete. Thanks to "Moon in the Clouds 1981" and "Bloodthirsty Amber" for their great tips. By the way, I sent a notice that at the end of the month 21.22, I had something to ask for leave. Please look at the score of my birthday today, don't worry about that aspect of the problem.
