Chapter 3: The Deceased
Charles's team didn't go well either.
After many players entered the team, they immediately retreated when they saw the level number on Charles' avatar. Zhang Ze, a dead friend, shouted for more than ten minutes before he could barely form three people.
One is a barbarian giant over two meters tall, carrying a two-handed long axe, and the other is a half-elf female ranger wearing tight leather armor, with a long bow on her back and a wolf companion at her feet.
The last one was a diminutive sorcerer hidden under a delicate black robe, unable to distinguish between male and female. What caught the eye was the black orb held in the sleeve robe by this second-level sorcerer teammate.
When the sorcerer joined the team, several team members were rarely silent for a few seconds, Zhang Ze's mouth opened, as if he wanted to ask something, but hesitated for a moment and swallowed the words back into his stomach.
"Sorcerer......" Charles looked at his teammate with interest.
The Warlock is a rare and special class that belongs to spellcasters, who can be followers of the devil or fanatical scholars who pursue arcane knowledge. Most of this class is in the evil faction, but there are exceptions, such as this sorcerer teammate.
The Shire believe in Ogma, the god of knowledge, and are absolutely neutral factions, and can recruit teammates from the two large factions of evil and good, without any restrictions. Even if this sorcerer teammate served the devil, he wasn't as worried as his sworn friends.
In Charles's opinion, the blade can kill the enemy, so why care about the forger. With this sorcerer teammate around, he's more confident in opening up the 'Haunted Winery'.
"There's one loiter left."
Zhang Ze shouted for a long time, and several wanderers added and retreated. Wanderers are a popular profession, and their role as scouts to scout in dungeons and eliminate traps is indispensable, so tsundere wanderers don't have to mix with this "garbage team" at all.
"Do you have any friends or relatives of the loiterers?"
Charles asked a few of his teammates. In addition to Zhang Ze, the barbarian giant and the half-elf female ranger shook their heads at the same time. The sorcerer, who could not distinguish between men and women, remained silent.
"What, you have?" Charles glanced at his best friend.
Zhang Ze nodded, shook his head again, and looked at Xia Er with a little evasive, with a hint of ambiguity.
"Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, if you have one, call someone over quickly." Where would Xia Er be polite to his dead friend, he kicked it over, and scolded with a smile: "Exploring the Underground City will definitely encounter the undead, and during the sub-hour, the strength of the undead will be increased in the rich dark energy." If you want to clear the level, don't bother. β
"That's what you said, don't throw the pot on my head when the time comes." Zhang Ze reacted quickly to avoid Charles's flying kick, and after speaking quickly, he summoned the carrier pigeon and sent a message.
"Everyone wait a little longer, and if you want to eat supper and drink water toilets, hurry up and solve the problem."
Charles smiled at a few of his teammates who had joined in. A team of six is now just one loiter away from being able to pull out.
Standing under the street sign, Charles found his leisure, and after silently reciting a few words in his heart, a dark green attribute data appeared on the retina:
[Charr]
Race: Human
Attributes: Strength 12, Constitution 15, Agility 10, Intelligence 13, Perception 18 (+2 race), Charisma 13
Class: Civilian Lv10 (Max) / Priest Lv1
Health: 20/20
Skills: 'Knowledge' +12, 'Alchemy' +10, 'Focus' +5, 'Healing' +1, 'Spell Recognition' +1
Specialty: [Robust], [Specialized Weapon] (Long Sword), [Good at Military Weapons]
Abilities: [Dispel the Undead] (5/5 daily), [Spell Transformation], [War Domain], [Knowledge Domain]
Spell Slot: 5 (Zero Ring) / 3 (One Ring)
β¦β¦β
Warriors will laugh at this power attribute.
The Master was dismissive of such a low level of intelligence.
Wanderers and Ranger will also have an opinion on the perception stat. Perhaps what can satisfy the warrior monk profession is the perceptual attribute that has undergone the racial bonus.
However, all players have this mediocre start, and when creating a character with a future class in mind, you have to weigh the trade-offs. Lowering the main attributes, and improving other sub-attributes, the values seem to be gorgeous and flat, but players who do so are often angry and retrained after being abused.
Charles found that the system hid many of the specialties that were automatically acquired by the Priest as a Priest, such as being good at light armor, medium armor, heavy armor, and shields.
The 'Specialized in Weapons' and 'Specialized in Military Weapons' specialties are the rewards received from Ogma, the God of Knowledge, when choosing the field of warfare.
The field of knowledge also increased his 'knowledge' skills by 2 levels.
Every pastor can choose two areas after taking office. One of these realms can be chosen at will, such as the power realm chosen by the Charr, while the other must be chosen in the realm of the gods who believe in the gods. The realm of knowledge in the Charr attribute bar is one of Ogma's divine domains.
"The Zero Ring Magic Technique includes: Detection Magic*2, Light Magic, Reading Magic, and Gifts."
"The One Ring Divine Technique is: Divine Grace, Panic Technique, and Knowing Language."
Charles is looking at his spell slot, thinking about which one is more chicken, and if necessary, he can replace the [Spell Conversion] ability with a healing spell.
"Look over thereβ"
Zhang Ze, a close friend, suddenly patted him on the shoulder. Charles followed his line of sight, and immediately met Han Ke and Jing Feizhou's mocking and defiant gazes.
"Haha, you can't make a group, right? Since you have chosen the profession of pastor, you must be prepared to endure hardships in the early stage. I advise you two to add a fixed team, the passerby team can get through level 2 dungeons, so what about level 3, and then level 4......"
The female warrior An Ying also seemed to have a bit of a show-off mind, leading a neat team across the crossroads, carrying the big sword in both hands and shaking it without squinting. But Han Ke and Jing Feizhou stopped and taught earnestly in a tone of "I'm good for you".
"Get outβ"
Zhang Ze's family background is good, he is a rich young master, although he has big nerves, he can't stand such a strange yin and yang language, and the green tendons on his forehead bloom.
"Let's go, try to get this copy through tonight."
Han Ke shrugged his shoulders and plucked out his ears, and exchanged a sneering look with his friend Jing Feizhou, and Shi Shiran followed the team.
Charles put his bracer-wearing arm around his nemesis' shoulder and shook his head at him.
"The facts are the best proof of this."
"I've not been idle lately, I've paid attention to the situation in several big cities in Cormier on the forum, the progress of the dungeon in the imperial capital Susar is relatively slow, and it is said that there is already a guild group in the reclamation of level 5 dungeons on Abela's side."
For Gao Wan, the choice of birthplace is very particular. Susar, the imperial capital of the Cormier Kingdom, is politically stable, and there are a large number of regular troops stationed even in the field, so there are relatively few dungeon points that can be mined. This is also the reason why Susal has more players and fewer guild players.
As for Arabe, it is a battle-hardened city facing the Stormhorn Mountains, Hurek Forest, King's Forest, and Northern Plains, and the number of monsters and story story are far from being comparable to Sussar's.
The overall level of the player over there is higher than that of Susar's player. On the official website forum, players from different cities can be seen scolding each other every day.
"The one who cleared the 5th level of the wasteland is Arabe's most elite guild group, Twilight Blade." The barbarian giant 'God of War Kuiye' in the team interjected at the right time.
"Oh?"
Charles raised an eyebrow, "You have friends over there?" β
"A colleague." A smile appeared on the barbarian's rugged face, and his gaze paused on the sword in Charles's hand and the god insignia on his shoulder armor, "Twilight's Blade seems to be recruiting priests lately, the captain can give it a try." β
"He's not going." Zhang Ze's anger came and went quickly, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a mysterious smile, "Although the Twilight Blade is incomparable in Cormier, it is not very conspicuous in a country other than Cormier. β
"Listening to you, the captain seems to be quite famous in the circle."
The half-elf female ranger 'Yuyin' looked at Charles curiously with green eyes, and there was a sense of mature charm in her words and demeanor.
"Hey, hey."
Zhang Ze smiled, and was about to continue to pretend to be a stinky fart, but when he glanced at the road in the distance, he immediately said to Charles with a strange face: "The wanderer is here." β
"Is that him?"
Several members of the team looked in unison, and when they got closer, they realized that it was a wanderer completely hidden in a cloak. The wide hood obscured her face, and when the wanderer stood in front of her, pulling it down to reveal her coiled black ponytail, it was a human woman.
And the real face is used.
Then the half-elf female ranger and the barbarian warrior found the atmosphere delicate. The female wanderer looked at their captain with a calm gaze, not for a moment, and her black pupils seemed to reflect the brilliance of the past.
Charles's reaction was also very calm, Zhang Ze, who was swept by his dark eyes, shrunk his neck and muttered, "You asked her to come, it's none of my business......"
"Come?" Charles's greeting was also very simple, and after seeing the female wanderer nod slightly, he threw her an invitation to form a team.
System Prompt: Player 'Fingertip Quicksand' has joined the team.
"Oh, oh, it's level three!" As soon as Zhang Ze saw the female wanderer's avatar level, he squeezed his eyebrows and shouted: "Xiao Xuan, this is your fault, it has reached the third level silently, where to put the captain's face." β
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a dumb person."
Charles glared at his nemesis, then grabbed the long sword stuck in the ground, put the spiked round shield on his left arm again, and set off to lead the way, "Let's go, it's not too early." β
The haunted winery is located on the outskirts of the imperial capital of Sussal.
It was a sprawling manor house that specialized in the production of purple dragon ale wine, which was sold to the aristocratic district of the imperial capital. The owner of the winery is an aristocratic lord, but when Charles leads the team to the winery, they are greeted by the housekeeper of the winery, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous tuxedo.
"Dear adventurers, this courtyard is a haunted place, the lord has issued a mission in the adventurer's guild, if you can dispel the evil here, you can go to the guild to receive a rich bounty."
The housekeeper took them to the courtyard gate, handed over a bunch of keys, and after a few words, hurriedly left.
"Check the spell slots and equipment."
Charles didn't rush in, standing in front of the threshold, looking around at his teammates, "Wait for the wanderers to scout ahead, let's keep a distance of four or five meters." β
"Form a single column formation first, and I'll remind you to start the battle when you fight. No one is allowed to run around or get into a trap or get into a trap. β
"If you can successfully clear the customs, the equipment will be allocated according to demand."
"That's all."
