Chapter Ninety-Seven: Amazing Compensation

"It's just that guy dares to make a move. There's no way he's going to do anything to us." Auditore asked, brushing the hair hanging down from his ear.

"That's enough! We cannot trust our safety in the minds of others. Then Barrett emphasized with a serious expression, "And what we need to face now is likely to be an extremely self-centered young master." No matter what kind of behavior that creature does, it's possible. Those guys can't be extrapolated by common sense. ”

"Judging from the state shown by the other party in the last meeting, Barrett, you really have a point." Noodle also frowned and nodded at this time, "According to the records in the church, those guys are indeed a group of lawless creatures. ”

The key to a person's behavior and habits is the family's education style -- so the poor family will produce a noble son and Zhong Mingding's family, and the family will also raise a gentleman who can only swagger through the market.

And a threat like this one belonged to Barrett's judgment - the guy who grew up in an aura and got everything he wanted. Such experiences undoubtedly fuel madness with its self-centered mentality. As soon as things don't go in their favor, these people who have been spoiled will feel extremely uncomfortable and even do irrational things.

In the previous battle with Barrett, Barrett's victory was definitely trampling on his pride and self-esteem - this can be clearly concluded from the reaction of the guards around him. At the same time, Barrett doesn't think that he is a domineering eversion Long Aotian, who can subdue the other party so simply.

"This defeat must have provoked the man's anger, and we must have been the ones he suffered when he vented." Barrett smiled at this, "But the good news is that we shouldn't be directly attacked until he's sober." ”

"That's why the way back this time seemed so peaceful?" Claymatis. Bot reached out and pressed his chin to his chin, "But the reason why you offended him this time was because of the confrontation between the local lord and the court nobles. If that guy attacks in 'Ulrik' without hesitation, I don't think the fiefdom lords can sit idly by! ”

"Of course it's impossible to sit idly by! Otherwise, I would have refused to leave at the time. Speaking of this, Barrett's voice changed, "But the camp we are in cannot provide us with all-weather close protection. There are some things that we have to be careful with. ”

"Barrett, you knew it was going to be like this sooner, didn't you?" Riele, who had arrived, asked as she glared at Barrett angrily. "Why didn't you choose to abstain from voting, but instead resist the trouble. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to ask for a different opponent with the one in the Malkin family! ”

"Since Steward Malkin has been able to arrange that one, it naturally proves that there is no more suitable person than me among the participants this time." At this point, Barrett looked at Rielly with a smirk. "In that situation, I really didn't have a choice but to play. And high risk means high return, since I gave the Malkin family such a big trouble. If they don't want to be the laughing stock of the circle, they have to make amends. ”

"Compensation! Do you mean the rewards of this contest? "Claymatis. Bot's eyes began to glow with the luster of a gold coin.

At this time, Barrett also had a smile on his face: "You'll know in a few days!" But this time the gift is probably not just something that the Malkin steward can decide on alone. I think he's thinking about how to report to the Earl in his fiefdom! ”

Contrary to Barrett's thoughts, however, only the next morning, a group of heavily armed soldiers arrived outside the Boreham Mansion. The long lines of spears glowed in the sunlight, and the long procession marched along the avenue. The flag of the leader fluttered in the wind.

A white bear with teeth and claws on a black background is the coat of arms of the Malkin family, a family that defends the frontier with the most common predators on the ice fields, representing their belief in protecting their family. The steadfast and steadfast black style is integrated with the earth represented by the ripples on the jagged edges.

"The team escorting this reward actually arrived so quickly. Could it be that the Malkin family had prepared the prize for this victory before the fight? "Looking at the flag outside the gate of the mansion, Barrett immediately made a judgment in his heart: 'It seems that this is somewhat different from what I thought before!' But what exactly is the Malkin family ...... this time?

Although there are still a lot of doubts. But Barrett still smiled and handed down the box handed by the other party. The seal on the seal of this box seems to have a special ability to suck the soul of a person into it.

"Mission received! Then we'll not bother about that. The soldiers of the Malkin's house, who had finished their work, quickly disappeared from the door of the Boleum Comptoir under the command of the leader. Only the unclear passers-by not far away were left staring wide-eyed.

"Tsk! Tut! Tut! The army was actually dispatched to escort it! Rielly said as she touched the seal on the box with her hand, "A one-time magic crest, although it is not difficult to cast, but this special pattern is different every time. So if it is opened before it is delivered to the target person. Someone will find out. ”

"Alright! Lily, stop selling your knowledge. More than what you said, I want to know what the reward for Malkin is that he needs to arrange for someone to escort him with. "Claymatis. Both's hands were already pressed against the top of the box.

Rielly immediately reached out and patted her friend, "You are becoming more and more like a believer in the Goddess Church of Wealth and Commerce now. This is obviously too deep into the play! Anyway, doesn't this game really have an impact on people's spirits? ”

"Probably not! If there were, how could the authorities agree to release it publicly. Then Barrett shook his head with a wry smile, "Besides, even if a flawed game is released, it is impossible to involve the eldest ladies like Klamatise and Claudia!" ”

"That's right! Unlike us guinea pigs, the children of those big people are very expensive! As the halfling wanderer said this, his face was full of resentment.

Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Barrett immediately exited: "Hurry up and follow me to the house!" I think you'll all want to see what's in this box! ”

"That's it, that's it! Forget about what you have and what you don't. Let's see what kind of tricks the Malkin family has made this time. Claudia Clematis. Bot also urged at this time.

When he returned to the house, Barrett opened the seal and opened the box, revealing that there were only three different strange objects inside. And Rielly, who had turned on the ability to detect magic, was even more dazzled by the blue and orange brilliance. It was only with a hard time that she came to her senses. Then he began his own identification work.

After about 10 minutes, Rielly pulled out an armband with a slight change from the box. The bundle sticks and axes imprinted on three sides of this armband are crossed together, revealing a strong sense of violence. Rielly, who tapped the item in her hand, immediately threw it to Barrett: "Don't look at this thing, it's not big but it's quite heavy!" ”

After taking the armband flexibly. Barrett nodded, "The weight is about 2 pounds." However, it does sink a little compared to its size. Tell me what a strange thing this is, Rieli! ”

"If my identification is correct. This thing is supposed to be called the 'Armband of Might'. The effect is that the wearer gains +2 Stats on top of Strength Checks and Skill Checks where Strength is a key attribute. Also, if the wearer has the Fierce Attack specialty, when they use the Fierce Attack specialty attack and take at least 2 debuffs, they will gain an alien 2 bonus to the damage check. Speaking of which, Rielly had already set her sights on the next item, "If I'm not mistaken, its market price should be between 4,500 and 5,000 gold." However, this is somewhat due to the fact that it is very popular among fighters. Therefore, the premium should not be less. ”

"It's worth the premium, for the average warrior, it's a bigger threat to their attacks." Speaking of this, Barrett shook his head with a wry smile, "But when facing the enemies I encountered at the current level, my output always feels a little overflowing!" Do you have to wait until you fight monsters to come in handy? ”

"Or what role can it play in the strength skill appraisal!" The noodles not far away immediately spoke, "It's a useful thing anyway." ”

"That's just as well!" Barrett, who was scratching his hair, looked at Rielly, "Let's identify the next one!" ”

Rielly then took out the shoes in the box, which appeared to be made of metal, and the light on them was much stronger than the armband. This time, there was a slight change in her face: "It's a real contrast. These shoes weigh almost nothing! ”

"Hurry up! Don't tell me you can't make out it! "Wait for Clematis. Bot urged.

Rielie threw the strange object in her hand to Barrett: "Sure enough, it's a reward for you!" No wonder you were willing to take that much risk yesterday. It's a pair of 'acceleration boots'. The wearer only needs to hit each other with their heels to create the effect of "Acceleration". Up to 60 rounds per day, this 60 rounds can be stopped freely without continuous. Looks like you don't need to ask me for acceleration in the future, Barrett. It's worth at least 12,000-13,000 gold. And as soon as it appeared, it was snatched away. ”

"You're embarrassed to say it! From after you learned the Acceleration spell. That time was the one that added status to our success. Not to be outdone, Barrett responded.

Rielly's eyes immediately widened and she ruled out her responsibility: "That's because Barrett has passed all the way, and he didn't encounter an enemy who needed that kind of explosive spell!" ”

"Alright, alright! The two of them put this kind of thing down first. The last strange thing hasn't been identified yet! "Finding the atmosphere wrong Clematis. Bot immediately came out and started a round.

Hearing this, Rielly quickly fell into deep thought, and for 20 minutes she still did not say a word. It wasn't until the end that he shook his head helplessly: "Use knowledge and skills to identify failure." I'm afraid I'm going to get a pearl to try my hand at identifying spells. ”

"No need! I think I should know the identity of this flag. But I really didn't expect the Malkins family to come up with such a strange thing as a reward! Barrett, who heard this, finally couldn't help but speak.

Rielie immediately stared at Barrett and asked, "What do you know, Barrett?" ”

"One of the three-piece Wall of Endings flags. Among them, the tribal front is worth 7,500 gold coins, and the sheltered harbor is worth 15,000 gold coins; The Wall of the Sun is worth 125,000 gold. Barrett sighed.

The Wall of Finality banner can be placed on a spear, polearm, stand, or flagpole. If the flag is not properly positioned or falls on the ground, it will not be effective. The coat of arms depicted on the banner represents specific locations or fortresses that were at least once part of the territory of the Wall of End, each of which offers different benefits, as described later.

The flag can be carried around (by infantry or cavalry) or set up somewhere. When placed in a certain place, the flag does not require a flag bearer, but if it is set up in this way, it will be invalid if it is touched or knocked down by an enemy. It will not work again until it has been recovered and reset by the flag owner's allies.

Sanctuary Harbor: As long as the flag owner's allies can see the banner, they gain +6 morale bonus in the Immunity check against Fear Effect. When using the Syndicate battle rules, as long as the majority of an army can see the flag, the morale check DC for determining if the enemy is fleeing is reduced by 5 points.

Clan Front: As long as the flag owner's allies can see the banner. will gain a +4 morale bonus in the Immunity check against fear.

Wall of the Sun: Once a day, if the flag is raised or set by someone with the Valor class ability or the Bannerman's specialty, all allies of the banner owner will receive the Warm Blessing effect whenever they can see the banner. If the banner is broken or shot down by an enemy, the effect ends, and the enemy gains the banner's effect for 60 seconds. (To be continued.) )
