Chapter 3 Piety of Faith
"Daddy York, buy a longsword, six feet and two inches, an iron mage saber." Wang Mo came to the counter where weapons were sold, slapped four jingling silver coins on the wooden table, and said to York, the owner of the weapon shop who was busy behind.
Old York is an NPC that every novice player in Slandra Town can't forget, and after three days of running the game, there was a quest guide on the forum, which was released by Old York, called "York's Troubles", this task requires players to help him find the lost blacksmith hammer, and only need to form a team of five people, go to the periphery of the gravel wasteland to hunt a few first-level ordinary monsters, and you can drop the hammer.
This hammer can be exchanged for one to three level 1 iron weapons used by novices, and it can be repeated once a day, it only takes half an hour, it can be said that in the case of no money to buy weapons in the early stage, it is definitely worth doing this task, so players give Old York a kind title, called York Daddy.
It's not a majestic title, but it's much better than the title that players have given to His Excellency Thomas, the sheriff of Orlando, as "Sister To".
"Mr. Mage, wait a minute." Daddy York brushed his dusty cloth and was too busy to greet the venerable mage before turning around and walking towards the rack where the sword weapons were kept.
There were quite a few newcomers who came to York Weapons Shop to buy weapons in the early stage, and even NPCs were a little busy.
York's action of getting a weapon is just a small program arranged by the system to properly show the authenticity of the legend of Calando, in fact, even if he takes the sword, the player must open York's sales window to buy the desired weapon.
After Old York came back, the players next to him clamored and squeezed forward, they didn't care what kind of mage status they were, they still squeezed Wang Mo on the counter, he was not angry, just waited with bated breath.
The inventory in front of him jumped, and a series of weapon icons appeared in front of him, Wang Mo bought a mage sword, only in the next second, all the weapons were snatched up, and Daddy York had to go and pick up another one.
Wang Mo smiled bitterly, in his previous life, he had heard about how popular the weapon shop in the newcomer town was in the early stage, and this time he saw it with his own eyes, he held the long sword and carefully squeezed out of the crowd, and during the period, he almost shaved off a large strand of hair of a player, and that player couldn't care about suffering such a small loss in order to grab the weapon.
When Wang Mo squeezed out of the crowd holding the mage sword, a slightly strange voice sounded in his ears.
"Huh? How do you hold a sword as a mage? Don't you know that the mage of the Dao Dao has a weapon with a sword and is proficient in punishment? A male player's voice rang in Wang Mo's ears, and he looked up and froze.
What appeared in front of him was a human priest player, with a very handsome and delicate face, fair skin, a bit of a sunny boy feeling, he was wearing a white priest's robe, holding a mace in his hand, obviously similar to the discipline priest class of the Punishment Knight, this kind of class has a certain melee attack ability, and can also use holy light spells to fight or heal enemies.
Of course, this is not the reason why Wang Mo is stunned, what makes Wang Mo stunned is the appearance of this priest player, he recognized it at a glance, this is his friend in the legend of Calando in his previous life, the human priest believes in piety.
Faith piety was the most famous priest of the three kingdoms of humanity in the good and orderly camp in his previous life, belonging to the ranks of top players, and the guild to which he belonged was the first guild of the Kadolin Kingdom, and he was not a professional player, but he had the skills and strength that professional players praised, although he was a precept priest talent, but his healing ability was completely worthy of several holy priests, and his melee ability was not even weaker than that of a warrior, and the power of the Holy Light spell was even more commendable.
In addition to his good skills, Faith Piety has a full set of Divine Advent Purple Epic Outfits in the late game, holding one of the few legendary orange weapons in the legend of Carlando, and the staff that every priest dreams of: Blessing. Such a powerful player, it stands to reason that he will not come into contact with someone like Wang Mo who is just an ordinary elite player.
Wang Mo and Faith Pious acquaintance was actually in a mission, that time Wang Mo was just going to do a small task, and for Faith Pious, the task he had to do that day was related to the last component of the Divine Advent Suit, Wang Mo met Faith Piety at a critical moment, and helped him out of kindness, and they became sworn friends afterwards.
"I wonder if faith will shed tears for me after I die." Wang Mo sighed with emotion in his heart.
Looking at the doubtful faith piety in front of him, he smiled slightly, and did not answer, but moved his gaze to his chest, which by this time already had a bronze guild badge on his chest, on which was depicted a rose blooming between the two swords.
Sure enough, at this time, the Cross Rose Guild had already been established, and the faith and piety had already joined the Cross Rose, which made Wang Mo secretly say, these people are moving so fast.
"Nothing, just bought at random." Wang Mo smiled and said to the faith piety, at this time, the faith piety did not know him, of course he could not show a very familiar and affectionate appearance, but politely replied, he did not want to tell the faith what he was going to do for the time being, it was not that he was selfish, but if this kind of thing was told to others, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
There is such a valuable upgrade strategy in the early game that it is strange that it is not reported.
Faith Piety gave him a puzzled look, shook his head strangely, walked past him, and left the weapon shop to find the members of the Cross Rose to level up together.
"Hey, buddy, add a friend, shall you?" When he walked past Wang Mo, Wang Mo stopped him.
Faith reverently froze, he turned his head and looked at Wang Mo with a suspicious gaze, Wang Mo showed his name at this time, the magic melody.
"Do we know each other?" Faith pious rhetorical asking.
"I don't know," Wang Mo smiled and shook his head, thinking that he would meet in the future, "It's the first time I've played a game, I don't have any friends, I want to meet a few more friends to play with, and I will have a companion in the next copy or something." ”
Saying that, Wang Mo sent him a friend application.
Faith pious hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the application, he thought about it, smiled with relief, and said: "Although I may not have the opportunity to fight with you in the future, it is still okay to talk and chat." ”
"I'll go first, the guild people are telling me to go to the Gravel Wasteland to kill monsters." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of town.
Wang Mo smiled and nodded, at this time, the faith and piety have not yet revealed his amazing skills and consciousness, and he has not been valued by the President of the Cross Rose, or it will not be long before the name of the first priest of faith and piety will spread throughout the camp of the Good and Orderly Alliance, and at that time, he will become a national treasure who will not dare to slack off on the cross rose.
Seeing his faith and piety disappear on the street corner, Wang Mo turned around and walked towards the place in his memory, and met a friend from his previous life, which made his mood more cheerful, and sure enough, just like in his previous life, they haven't changed!
Now Wang Mo doesn't even have a silver coin on his body, and he wears a mage sword with an attack power of 7~12, and the attack speed is slow to death, because this long sword that weighs 6 pounds makes him feel very difficult, and he has to endure it before learning more advanced arcane to reduce the weight of the weapon.
Of course, his apprentice robes, cloth boots, etc. are all considered equipment, and there is even an accessory slot that wears the mage's apprentice badge, but the total does not add 3 intelligence.
Walking along the streets of Slandra Town, and then turning into a deep alleyway, usually this kind of hidden place has a common problem, that is-dirty, fortunately, Wang Mo also came to this kind of place in his previous life, and he could still tolerate the smell of sewage on the ground and garbage piled up in the corner.
As he walked, he took out the spell book from his backpack, found the two spells on the first and second pages, and chose the memory spell.
"System prompt: You memorized the first-level spell 'Elementary Arcane Missile'."
"System Prompt: You memorized the zero-level trick 'Magic Trick'."
Since there are so many spells that an arcane mage can learn, there is a problem with balance in the first place, so Calondo's legend sets that although an arcane mage can learn a lot of magic, he can only use a limited number of spells in a day, and the number of spell slots is affected by the intelligence attribute.
For example, with the intelligence attributes of Wang Mo's first-level mage now, he can only memorize a total of fifteen zero-level tricks and eight first-level spells, and without equipment, everything is in vain. (The problem with memory spells here, I would like to say that unlike DND, memory spells can be used infinitely, and once a memory spell is selected, it cannot be replaced with other spells within a day.) )
Wang Mo walked around the alley for almost twenty minutes before he relied on the clue he had written down with his superb memory, and after turning another corner, he found the NPC.
The NPC that Wang Mo is looking for is a goblin from Galcut, a commercial city in the central part of the mainland, called Mogoth, this guy belongs to the neutral and orderly camp, and came to the camp of the Good and Orderly Alliance with a batch of goods to do business, because he was attacked by the kobolds of the wasteland while crossing the gravel wasteland, the ogre bodyguard he hired was separated from him in the chaos, and all the goods were lost, and he couldn't move at all without the protection of the bodyguard, so he lived in the alley of Slandra Town.
This guy is a hidden NPC, the location is quite hidden, and a task will be issued to let you find his ogre bodyguard, the difficulty of completing the task is not high, you only need to find the ogre Charlt on the periphery of the gravel wasteland, and then urge this guy to return to the employer's side, if you are lucky, there will not even be a battle, and you will get a lot of experience after completion, the difficulty of this task is to find this hidden goblin NPC, fortunately, Wang Mo still found it according to the strategy.
Finding this down-and-out goblin in rags, dressed in rags, sitting in the corner of the wall and sobbing uncontrollably, Wang Mo stepped forward and began to trigger the task.
"Hello sir, is there anything you can do to help you." Wang Mo said politely, polite wording is the key to triggering this task, because for the goblins who claim to be high-ranking businessmen and gentlemen, they hate others to use rude tones towards them the most, because this disgusting race of money has left some bad reputation in every place.
Goblin Mogoth looked up and saw that it was an adventure mage—or traveling mage—and his eyes lit up, as if he had found a solution to the problem.
"Of course there is- sir, in fact I am not a down-and-out beggar like you see, I am a goblin merchant from the commercial city of Galqat, for some reason I got lost in the Gravel Wasteland with my bodyguard Ogre Schart, can you help me find him?" The goblin tried to hide his frustration, giving himself a reason before asking tentatively.
"System prompt: Do you accept the quest 'Goblin's Bodyguard'."
Accept!
Wang Mo smiled and said, "No problem, I'll go now, sir." ”
Then he turned and left the alleyway, and walked back to Dawn Square, where he was to form a party and have them escort him to the outskirts of the Gravel Wasteland, and then leave the group to find the ogre Shalt, or he would not be able to make it alive as a fragile mage, even if he was a disgraced mage.
He estimated that the players at this time should have tasted the bitterness, most of the wild monsters in the legend of Calando are not something that players can deal with alone-at least not ordinary players can deal with alone, the strength of these monsters is often several times that of players, unless it is an elite master player, most people have to form a team of more than three people to kill monsters and upgrade, at this time, I am afraid that the first batch of excited players have already hung back to Dawn Square.
Sure enough, when he walked out of the alleyway, he immediately saw many players in tattered clothes, piled up on the Dawn Square, scolding and shouting that they wanted to form a team.
"Uncle Cao's Federation, what kind of perverted monster, can't even be killed by one person...... Hey, brother, brother, the first-level warrior asks for a group, asks for a group! High-end techniques, with their own weapons! ”
"The thieves want to form a three-person team to upgrade the kobold on the outskirts of the gravel wasteland! Have long-term gaming experience and be coquettish! ”
Most of the players are spontaneously grouped together and set off to the periphery of the gravel wasteland, where they can kill the most basic small monsters, kobolds and wasteland lizards, among which the wasteland lizards will explode the materials for the early stage of each sub-class to practice skills, and as humanoid creatures, kobolds will produce the most valuable currency in the early game, and even low-level equipment, so this is the goal of most players in the early stage of killing monsters.
In addition to the regular voice communication - that is to say, the communication of words, of course, there is also the typing communication of the regional channel, but the current players do not know the "garbage" of the arcane mage, and they only have the strength of the mage in the traditional Western fantasy game in their minds, and the mage profession at this time is very sought-after.
So Wang Mo just walked to Dawn Square, stood still in a small area, and then shouted loudly:
"A first-level arcane mage asks for a group and goes to the periphery of the Gravel Wasteland to kill monsters."
"Hey! Come with us, buddy! Our team of two warriors can better protect you! Immediately, a player shouted and sent him a request to join a team.
"So do we!" "Same!" The other players soon followed suit, as if Wang Mo was a treasure, no one would let go, he looked around in a daze before he was relieved, it turned out that the mage players in the Dawn Square had been taken away, and now he was the only one left.
At this time, his private chat channel flashed, Wang Mo was stunned for a moment, opened it and saw that there was a voice call request, signed "Faith and piety".
