Chapter 11: A Reasonable Move
"Crackle-" There was a sound of crystalline white powder, so dazzling in the scorching sun. After a group of people dodged the 'Salted Mummy''s outstretched arms, Barrett scolded without looking back, "Miss Freya, this is not a naturally occurring 'Salted Mummy'!" β
"When did you kid think you were dealing with a naturally occurring 'salted mummy'? Since you're dealing with that drought lich, you'll have to deal with his special mummy. Lady Freya, who was lying on a high platform not far away, said as she took it for granted while enjoying the shade under a wide umbrella.
"Puff-puff-" Under the salt crystal shell that had been broken by Barrett, the three-finger-wide shroud suddenly broke away from the withered muscles that were tightly attached to the bones, and then flew directly towards Barrett. At the sound of that voice, Barrett understood that the situation on the field had changed, and when he saw the shroud that swirled and flew outward, he was finally relieved.
After dodging the flying strip of cloth with one side of his head, Barrett smiled: "At this speed, attacking straight and without skill really doesn't make a decent threat." β
After making this almost mocking comment, Barrett habitually made a knife in his hand, ready to make the flying shroud β1 come back without returning. But what happened next made Barrett realize that he had miscalculated. Not only was the shroud, which the long knife was looking for, still tightened, but it then wrapped itself around Barrett's blade.
Faced with such a situation, Barrett's smiling face, which had been hanging since the start of the war, finally changed somewhat. In fact, it takes some skill to cut through a piece of cloth in mid-air, just as it is to fly it in a volley instead of flying it - just let the cloth fall, of course. The trick of picking a knife can also reduce a lot of difficulty.
But Barrett is no rookie without a knife from all nations. Although I don't pay much attention to this knife. However, there is no reason why ordinary shrouds, whether linen or fur, are immune. But the shroud in front of him actually only bloomed a dot line on the edge of the blade, but it restricted his weapon.
The guys who were watching not far away couldn't help but make a fuss immediately after seeing this scene. The noise coming from behind him and the miss in front of him made Barrett's heart a little irritable. However, after feeling the feeling of the handle of the knife, Barrett shook it, and the shroud that had been wrapped around the knife four or five times was torn apart: "It seems that if you don't show some real skills to deal with these guys, I'm afraid you will really be underestimated." β
Thinking of this, Barrett immediately lowered his body and rushed to the two 'salted mummies' in front of him, with his previous experience, Barrett had already touched the methods of these two dried corpses. Don't look at them when they walk slowly, but the movements of their upper limbs are not as stiff as they appear. If you look at it with old eyes. Eight achievements will be like Barrett's before - almost capsizing in the gutter.
However, this change, if perceived, is actually very limited. As a veteran, Barrett walked at the right distance from the 'salted mummies' in front of himβkeeping the blades in his hands deep enough to leave a deep enough mark on them, while keeping himself out of the menace of their arms.
Although the shell of the salt crystal was strong, the shroud of unknown material was tough, but under Barrett's mountain-like blade, it could only let out a wail. Dry muscles, calcified bones were broken one by one with a thud of leather-like sounds.
Unless you can't find the vital parts of the undead on your body, unless you purify it with positive energy, it's better to smash and chop it as much as possible - who knows if the lone palm will suddenly crawl to your side and give you a blow! Even if it wasn't hurt at that time, it would be so vicious that it wouldn't be.
Barrett sighed softly and looked at the two almost dismembered corpses in front of him. Unlike the common natural 'salted mummies', the artifacts in front of us are closer to real mummies - they don't have any internal organs inside. But Barrett was more interested in the shroud he hadn't been able to cut at will.
Pick up the flaxen-colored rag. Barrett was stunned that he could not find a trace of weaving. And even if it was a filthy undead creature that had been clinging to the 'salted mummy' for a long time, it was still unpolluted. On the contrary, it gives people a very comfortable feeling. Taking off his gloves and carefully feeling the texture of the shroud with his fingertips, Barrett had a flash of inspiration as if he had grasped something: "This is 'angel satin'?" β
"That's right, it's 'Angel Satin'! It seems that you kid is not the kind of stone man who only has training left in his head! "I don't know when Ms. Freya has quietly come behind Barrett, and the silent action has not even noticed any clue for the bright Barrett.
However, Barrett, who had some speculation about Ms. Freya's strength, although his muscles tightened a little at first, but then returned to nature. I saw him waving the shroud fragment in his hand and asking, "This thing is not cheap!" Are all the monsters we need to face in our next mission? β
'Angel Satin' is a processed angel satin that retains some of the elegance of the celestial realm, and its tough texture can be made into leather armor, leather armor or inlaid leather armor. What's more, 'Angel Satin' emits a medium-goodness aura and can override the blasphemous aura. The intensity of the Unholy Aura emitted by any wearer is greatly reduced (by a full 10 levels).
If the aura power drops below the base level (the adjustment below level 11 minus 10 does not satisfy level 1), then the creature cannot be detected by abilities such as 'Detect Evil'. The wearer will not be detected as evil, but will not affect the wearer's faction and effects.
For example, a chaotic evil guy wearing angel satin will be detected as the chaos faction, not the evil faction. For some evil people who are not very powerful, a piece of 'angel satin' clothes and armor is a sharp weapon to hide their identity. For those wanted criminals who were chased around by the paladins. It's a life-saving thing for them - they'll try to get one whenever they get the chance.
And it's not just about hiding the advantages of the faction. Any evil camp guy wearing angel satin. When being used against a spell or supernatural ability (whether harmful or beneficial) against the evil faction. have a 20% chance to be considered neutral. For example, if you are first selected by "Sanction Evil", if you are considered a neutral creature, you will remain neutral for the rest of the duration (but you still have to try your luck if you are chosen again by "Sanction Evil"). If the effect is in range (e.g. 'Holy House') and the wearer leaves the area and re-enters, it will also need to try their luck again. In addition, permanent magic items, such as "sacred" weapons, will normally be considered evil to the wearer.
Despite the fact that the odds are not high and you can't control it yourself, it is often capable of causing the so-called 'messengers of justice' to vomit blood - such as the failure of the holy prayer. Or things like breaking evil and being judged invalid are still very pleasing to see.
However, in the main plane, the number of 'Angel Satin' is scarce, and the processing requires not only special means, but also a lot of effort. So this item of the same material is like Adamantite Mithril, not only is it expensive, but most of the time it is priceless. Just these 'salted mummies' in front of me are wrapped in this 'angel satin', which costs 2,000-3,000 gold coins, to say the least.
"That's right! At least it's all this kind of monster, in fact, today your kid is still dealing with a relatively ordinary model. The more dangerous ones are too much effort to use for their subordinates to practice. Ms. Freya said, putting her hand on her chin.
Barrett frowned: "It's really strange, where did the Pamir get so many 'angel satin'!" Could it be that your target has unearthed a relic closely related to the Upper Plane? β
"Forget about you, our target is the High Priest of the 'God of Tombs and Mummies'. Although this church does not have a high status among the 'Pamir gods'. But it's not very difficult to exchange these kinds of supplies. Miss Freya yawned as she spoke.
Barrett was so frightened that he almost dropped the shroud fragments in his hand to the ground, and he turned around and asked with an incredulous expression, "Go and kill a high priest of the Church of the True God?" Your actions will not be directly attacking the temple of the Mausoleum and Mummy! This kind of thing is not like I think it's better to be on it for 10 or 20 years longer. I know how many pounds I have. In this kind of battle, I can't make a few splashes. If you are not prepared in the first place, it will be useless to add a small person like me. β
"Let it go! Big things don't need to be checked by a little guy like you. All you have to do is do what you're doing. "Miss Freya said, pinching her orchid fingers, and said, "Don't be involved in the rest of the matter, I'm not the only one doing this operation." β
"Isn't it the same with me or not!" Until now, Barrett didn't know that he was completely tricked by the 'girl' in front of him.
But Ms. Freya pressed her hand over Barrett and ran her hand across his cheek and said, "Don't be presumptuous, you kid, it wouldn't be the same without you." At the very least, when we lower those people to contain those church forces, we really lack a main force like you. And now that you're in the Pamirs, your current body is not just a representation of yourself. With that connection, it became easier for me to speak to the dead ghost. β
The words have been said so thoroughly, how can Barrett not understand! His current combat effectiveness is at most an additive, and many parties are interested in his identity, to put it bluntly, he is interested in the backer behind Barrett. And Barrett turned his head and immediately realized that something was wrong: 'With such a big matter as being hostile to a true God church, the Boreham family should not be able to join in this way because of my existence. Anyway, I don't have that much weight. In other words, most of this operation has been planned a long time ago, and the family just sent me to hone it, and by the way, it was gilded......
Barrett, who figured it out, immediately didn't ask anything more about this matter, after all, the other party was able to talk so much to himself, most of it was because of his own membership of the Boreham family. But there was one thing he felt unhappy again: "The 'Secondary True Death Crystal' on my body hasn't been used yet!" Otherwise, it's only a matter of minutes to deal with these guys. But won't there be any problems in terms of high-end combat power? There must be more than one drought lich in that organization, right? β
This is because according to the records, most of the transformation rituals of the drought lich are often completed by the participation of another drought lich predecessor. Add to that the name of the church's shrine, 'The God of Tombs and Mummies,' and there is absolutely no way there is only one drought lich in the church - after all, this thing can live for hundreds of years if it is not killed. In the case of only increasing and not decreasing, a certain amount of time can be accumulated even if it is difficult.
"It's not your kid's turn to worry about this! Just do your job. After saying this, Ms. Freya touched Barrett's chin, stood on tiptoe and pressed Barrett's ear to blow hot air inside: "If you don't obey, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of bed for a short time." β
Barrett, who had a general understanding of the cause and effect, naturally would not forcibly enter the matter that he was not qualified to participate in now, and he stayed in the oasis with peace of mind, while looking for someone to repair some broken Mo knives, while simulating a battle with the enemies he might meet in his head.
Such days could not last long, and from the moment Barrett met with Ms. Freya, the call for action was given to this action, which involved many forces. It's just that Barrett, who is not deeply involved, is not as lucky as the previous times when he directly touched the core content. So the assignment from Bolim's family has not changed much because of this.
And in the course of these days, Barrett also got to know the other members of the oasis. His previous assessment was correct, the forces under the 'Freya' lady were indeed less than 10 people above the Red Iron Rank. Because what he didn't expect was that there was actually a female 'fire master' of the black lead rank here - she alone was worth at least 3-4 ordinary professionals of the hematite rank.
