Chapter 15: Sewers (1)
"The taste here is really ......" Although the words were not finished, the cute look of the parrot snorting and frowning was undoubtedly telling people what she was thinking.
The traveler's emblem, carved with the god of roads and travel, is thus imprinted on the Seiko chain mail that emits a bright silver reflection - it seems to serve as a substitute for the emblem when necessary.
Her light and sturdy little round shield was casually carried on her back, and a cold and reflective mace hung on the leather buckle at her waist, but she didn't know how much power she could wield.
Compared with the soft appearance before, the heavily armed parrot has a different charm. Even the stone of the anvil, the Adam's apple couldn't help but squirm up and down a few times at this time.
Barrett, who was standing behind the dwarf, didn't want his eyes to be polluted by a beard, so he untied the compound bow from his back and handed it to Bena and asked, "Can you use this compound bow well?" ”
Taking the compound longbow handed over by Barrett, she weighed the weight in her hand and tried to pull it empty. The touch from her fingertips and the soreness of the muscles in her arms all told her where her limits were.
Bena, who frowned, looked at the longbow reluctantly, then turned her head and pushed it into Barrett's arms: "No! The bow was too hard to pull away with my strength. ”
"What a pity! I could use this longbow myself, but I can't match it to you, Bena, and I don't have much chance to use it. Barrett shook his head with some pity, and had to reattach the compound longbow he had received from the head of the militia in Shafir's city to his back.
Bena still couldn't help but move her gaze to the maroon bow, as if she was making up her mind: "Wait for me, when I can use it, I will use my own proceeds to exchange it from you." It's a waste of this good bow to fall into your hands, Barrett. ”
"I'm waiting for that time! But then you'll be able to use it. Barrett said as he took out two bags of arrows and handed them to Bena, "These are specially for you." ”
Bena, who took the quiver, asked curiously, "I have prepared enough arrows, why do I prepare so many arrows?" There's no way we're going to spend a week in the sewers! Or there are so many monsters there that they look like bees in a honeycomb. ”
Barrett smiled and asked her, "What is the shape of your crossbow arrow?" ”
"Triangular pyramid shape, what's wrong? Only in this way can the arrows fly fast and steadily. Bena smirked at this, and pulled out an unusually sharp arrow from one of her quivers: "If Barrett said this kind of armor-piercing arrow, I would have prepared it long before I came out here." ”
Faced with this situation, Barrett could only smile and shake his head: "The arrow I prepared for you is anchor-shaped, and it took me a lot of effort to buy it from the warehouse of the Boreham family." The triangular pyramid arrows and needle-shaped armor-piercing arrows in your hands are piercing attacks, and they do little damage to undead creatures such as zombies that may appear; The iron anchor arrow I came up with is a slash attack, which is much easier to use against those guys. ”
"Oh! Is there any emphasis on this? So should you also prepare arrows with striking attributes? The parrot on the side pulled out one of the arrows and looked at it, asking curiously.
The noodles on the side, who didn't know when they would arrive, began to show their presence in front of the girl: "How can you prepare arrows for this type of tapping!" When the time comes, just go straight to the sling. Ammunition can even be tackled on the spot ......"
The stone-throwing attack is originally a halfling's forte, and the entire race has an additional bonus to this attack method due to the in-game character. At this time, it leaves a superficial impression first, and when it can be used, it will not be so abrupt. In front of the beautiful girl, a certain halfling is like a peacock in love, and begins to show its feathers.
There wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp -- that's what Barrett, who was watching from the sidelines, had to say about his team. However, he would love to see that, and it is better to have a little fight over small things than to be held back by his pig teammates at a critical moment.
"Thank you, Barrett, it's really interesting." Bena took the bags of arrows, obviously not wanting the noodles to be waved again. At this time, she was also fantasizing in her heart, if she had money in the future, should she also prepare some special arrows like quenching poison, enchantment, and alchemy, maybe when it would come in handy.
However, Noodles is not self-conscious in this regard. Then he began to show off what he had found, "There's something else for Miss Parrot, and that's it...... Sorry, I got it wrong. The bottled strong acid and red fire glue are for my own use...... Dangdangdang, shining debut, you see what a good thing this is! ”
Then Barrett and the others were stunned for a moment when they saw the parchment roll that Noodle was holding in his hand, and he was holding ...... Magic Scroll - Combined with the user's instructions, it should be a magic scroll.
"The mere use of disposable throwing weapons such as bottled strong acid and red fire glue is enough luxury. Noodle was even able to come up with a magic scroll that burned even more money. It seems that you are very ambitious for this operation! Mario, who was carrying a big burden behind him, obviously had a different kind of ridicule - the drunkard didn't mean to drink!
At this stage, the amount of gold in the player's hand is usually not large, and a person like Barrett who has reached three digits is already considered a huge amount of money. What's more, spell scrolls like this often have no price, and the sudden appearance in front of them really surprised several of them present.
"As a wanderer, I certainly have my own channels. This undead disability scroll is handed over to you, Miss Parrot. If you use it at the right time, you might be able to get a chance to resurrect it! Noodle carefully handed over the scroll in his hand.
"Thank you!" The parrot gave the noodles a sweet smile as they took the scroll, and the latter seemed to be a little fluttery because of it.
"Okay, am I left? A medical kit and a bottle of anti-poison, as a reward for a goblin bounty. I also got two bottles of holy water privately, which I think I will need for the rest of my adventure. As he spoke, Mario patted the two flat tin bottles on his belt.
"Anyway, how can you be so sure we're going to encounter undead creatures next?" Anvil touched his beard in confusion.
"Isn't that what the troubadour's stories say?" Bena's answer was so natural.
Barrett's answer, as always, fits his impression: "It's always right to be prepared carefully, lest you get into a hurry when things get up." ”
"I just got the news and hurriedly prepared it." Noodle looked at the anvil as if to say, I really didn't know before I didn't hide it from you. Judging from the friendship between these two people who said before, it is obvious that Noodle doesn't want to cause any misunderstanding because of this.
The paladin looked at the dwarf with some helplessness: "The environment of the sewers below is easy to breed some undead creatures. According to church records, there were records of ghouls haunting the site. ”
"Let's stop talking about this, let's go straight down! Will anyone be able to turn this on? The anvil struck the rusty iron fence at the entrance to the sewer with the back of his axe, and the purpose of diverting the conversation was too obvious.
"You need a special key here, and I've already got it when I take over the task." As he spoke, Barrett pulled out a quaint bronze key from his fanny pack and inserted it into the marble hole near the entrance.
With the rotation of the key, there was a clattering sound of mechanical transmission in the stone wall, followed by a slight shook. Georgie, who had taken the key back, grabbed the place where it shook and pushed it inside. The rusty iron door rattled, revealing the door to the world beneath Karada.
"Guys are all getting me into the groove from now on, I don't want anyone to lose a chance to resurrect because of their carelessness." After a solemn reminder, Barrett handed a piece of parchment to Slender's hand, "This is the sewer distribution map I got from the city hall. However, the last time I did it was 10 years ago. Revising it was also one of the tasks this time. ”
"Don't worry! It's up to me. You're going to keep up. Noodles took the parchment roll and slapped his small body with a "poof" sound, and then lit a torch and went into the sewer to find his way. Barrett and Felt followed, followed by the girls Bena and the Parrot, and the paladin Mario was in charge of the palace......
The ditches are lined with stone slabs, so that the smell of the sewers is pungent, but not difficult to walk.
"It is said that in the old days, the sewers of the city could be used by small assault boats. Compared to this, this magical world is much worse. In the gloomy underground waterway, except for the running water at the feet and the occasional dripping sound, only the footsteps of a group of people echoed softly. This makes everyone have to find a topic to talk to each other to relieve their uneasiness.
"Noodles, you stop first." The anvil, which was originally behind Barrett, took the lead and grabbed the wanderer at the front.
After making a wait-and-wait gesture, the dwarf took out his small hammer and gently tapped it against the stone wall in front of him, while resting his head on the stone wall and listening to something.
