Chapter 70: Mages often say that level 5 is a watershed
It is said to be a camp, but the settlements of these rogues in front of them have neither high walls nor wide ditches, only tents connected to each other, scattered in the wilderness. The enemies who had just broken free of the cobwebs were all disgraced, and some of them had a smell similar to BBQ.
The moment his feet hit the ground, Barrett's legs flexed slightly, and then he swooped down on the nearest enemy as if he had bottomed out. Then he split the opponent's head into two halves. At the same time, Rielly, who swooped down from the sky, roared through the camp, and then the Raven Demon's feet grabbed one of the archers in the camp and carried him straight into the sky.
The human legs, whose shoulders were tightly clamped, were like a frog being lifted up and kicking in the air. But at the same time as this farce, the survival is also forcing the guy to try to save himself. I saw that he directly abandoned the compound longbow he had relied on before, and the twin sons pulled out a dagger from the armed belt on his chest.
Unfortunately, Rielly, who transforms into a raven, not only looks like a gargoyle, but her whole body is covered in a thick layer of scales. The scales were so strong that the archer's series of self-help actions were all a joke. Once she had reached enough altitude, Rielly immediately let go of her claws.
The family companion who fell from the sky slammed himself into the ground with a scream that rose higher than the other. The dust he stirred up shone golden under the glow of the ♂ setting sun, which seemed to give people a strange beauty.
And with it is Barrett, who is like a tiger entering a flock, but he has already set off a flesh storm in front of him. The flying blood, the scattered pieces of flesh, and the severed blade constantly stimulated the nerves of everyone present. Some of the magical artifacts that Barrett had feared before did not appear. Apparently the Judge's church did not value the camp.
Soon the catboys joined the mop. Although his strength is not enough, he is not able to make a huge noise like Barrett as a typhoon passing through. But none of the targets he targeted. Again, it didn't end well - even though it was just a matter of chiseling the forehead and cutting the throat, it wasn't much worse for the assassins of the professions than Laru. Coupled with the speed and quick strike ability granted by the warrior monk, he is not too busy harvesting people.
And wait until the laggard of Clematis. Bot and Claudia. By the time the two Auditores appeared, the number of rogues in the camp had been reduced by half. The rest of them also trembled on their legs under Barrett's harvest. Immediately after that, one of the human rogues was the first to abandon his weapon and turn to flee - although his reason was telling him that he might fall into the trap of the Suppressor, the fear in his heart that had collapsed completely overwhelmed his remaining sanity.
As with many things, once there is the first person to eat a crab, the rest of the onlookers will immediately get moving. Therefore, those rogues who had already been beaten to the point of demoralization completely ignored their past experience. Turn around and run - even if it's death, a second late death is considered earned.
However, their approach happened to hit the weakness of the bloodstained Gray Flowers, as a crusader who came here because of a certain 'game', the number of Barrett and his party was their biggest weakness. So when the rogues in front of them began to scatter and flee, the players simply couldn't organize enough people to arrest them. As for the possible siege network, it only exists in the imagination of the rogues themselves.
Looking at the rogues who were scattered and fleeing, Rielly was the only one among the players who harassed from the air from time to time. The rest of the players had no intention of continuing to drive, and the noodles that popped out of nowhere began to clean up the battlefield one after another - even if it was a 'game', but this time the executor of the action, the players could take whatever loot they fancied.
As the slashing sound in the camp subsided, the guide sent by the Malkins touched the camp and pulled out a metal cylinder from his arms. Hold the cylinder high above your head and pull the string. Then a green flare flew into the sky. Between the reddish fiery clouds, the green flowers diluted many of the blood-dense hues.
"When will the people who confirm the results arrive. I haven't felt the breath of those guys since yesterday. Barrett was speaking. I didn't forget to take out a towel from my waist and began to wipe the Mo knife in my hand.
The guide looked around: "It's coming soon!" In particular, a few of the observers sent by the other side will definitely come to confirm your results as soon as possible. ”
"Observers on the other side? Does it seem like both sides are skeptical of each other's achievements? Claudia touching her chin. Auditore Auditore then half-jokingly said: "Is it worth so much trouble to find out that this situation is directly remedied by a real realm?" ”
Hearing this, Barrett looked at his teammates helplessly: "Think about the litigants that have disappeared into history, and you will know that even if you don't lie, some people can also do it upside down." Of course, there is another point to note that for many nobles, taking a spell test is in some sense an insult. So they'd rather send someone they trust to come and act as an observer than use it on the participants. ”
"Damn! These robbers are too poor! There weren't many decent loot. The halfling wanderer who said this immediately emerged from one of the tents.
Barrett, who heard this, suddenly discovered that the halfling in the team still had such an innocent side. He laughed and said, "These guys are rogues! How much oil and water do you think they can have? In this world, even pirate treasure is a kind of joke that can be easily punctured. What's more, these rogues in front of them who don't even have a base area. Most of the really valuable guys are hidden close to them! How could it be put in a tent. ”
That's right! In this world, it doesn't mean that you can't get rich by relying on bandits, but the goal of those guys can't be on these bandits. Does anyone think that just these guys who are hiding in Tibet can eat caravans carrying valuable goods? and even the official tax fleet.
This is not a story that the bard wrote casually. Dragons aren't stupid enough to crouch in their lair and wait for the knight to charge. And savvy escorts don't fall into pre-designed traps easily. According to Barrett's estimation, the team in front of him would normally be able to extort tolls from small and medium-sized caravans to survive—but since they were spending money to eliminate disasters, they naturally didn't have much cash to get their hands on.
Even if they can occasionally grab some cheap goods, if it weren't for the greedy brokers and black marketeers, they wouldn't be able to exchange a coin for even a single coin. Barrett can imagine these guys, not a single one of them who doesn't curse those greedy villains in his dreams. But without those invisible black gold pipes, these rogues would not have lasted a few days before they disappeared - the cloth, ore, and iron ingots they had looted could not have turned into food on their own.
And from the fact that they did not have a vehicle with the team, it can also be seen that the supplies they can carry are relatively limited. It can be said that these rogues have survived until now. In addition to the suddenness of this land that is conducive to their survival, what is more important is the chain of interests that exists behind it.
It can be said that these rogues themselves are at the bottom of the chain, belonging to an exploited class. So people who want to squeeze oil out of them are better off not being too optimistic – at least when it comes to cash.
Looking at the noodles and his depressed look, Barrett began to comfort him at this time: "Although you may not find anything good in the tent, you can go and look for those corpses." That should be a rewarding experience. And these guys' own equipment should also be worth a fortune, and it is impossible for a person who licks blood on the knife edge to be too stingy in this regard. ”
Just as Noodles began to turn her gaze to the corpses, Rielly, who had fallen from the sky, changed back to her original form in front of everyone. At this moment, she looked at Barrett with a smile on her face: "Experience is enough, after a long break, I will step into the threshold of level five." Regarding my new spells, Captain, do you have enough gold for me to transcribe? ”
"The spell of the three rings?" Barrett touched his chin. "That's a lot! If our team has cash right now, we can at most support you to copy 5 three-ring spells! I'm afraid the rest will have to wait for a while. ”
"Five spells? In this case, the first thing to do is to disarm the magic. And judging from the configuration of our team, acceleration is also indispensable. This occupies two places. At this point, Rielly immediately frowned. I'm afraid the remaining three flying skills also need to occupy a spot. So what else should you choose! ”
Dismantling is one of the most preferred spells among the three rings. It is the first spell that most mages can obtain that will terminate most spell effects. It is also the first spell that most mages can obtain, which allows them to fight against other casters from the caster's level. To put it bluntly, this is one of the most cost-effective countermeasures between mages.
The Acceleration is arguably one of the most outstanding positive status spells among the 3-ring spells, allowing it to speed up the recipient. As a result, the recipient's movement speed, attack hits, evasion ability, and reflex immunity are all affected. More importantly for melee classes, it also affects their attack frequency, and the effect of a Limestone Warrior's power can directly increase the attack frequency of some of them by as much as 50%.
At Rieelly's current caster level, a single cast can affect 5 creatures within range. Of course, whether a positive status is good or not, you often have to see if your teammates need it first. And for the blood-stained gray flower mercenary group that most of the team is a material striker. Acceleration is definitely one of the most preferred options. Even if you prepare this spell as part of your daily spell, you must carry the scroll with you.
After talking about the acceleration technique, let's also discuss the slow technique corresponding to it. If the opponent's will is defeated, this negative state is actually more ferocious. The speed of the receiver's action is directly halved, so dodging, reflex immunity checks, attacks, etc., will be greatly affected. It can also be used to counter the Acceleration.
It's just that compared to the acceleration technique, the exemption itself is a limitation on the one hand. What's more, the cast range of this spell is the same as that of the Booster (25 feet + 5 feet per 2 caster level). No more than 30 feet apart between two creatures within range at the same time.
Such a restriction has almost no effect on the acceleration - after all, most of the people are on the same side when the team is positive. However, if you use it to inflict negative status on the enemy, it can be a bit dangerous to use. After all, due to the influence of the cast distance, the caster itself is too pre-examined.
"Dismantling magic and speeding up are indisputable. However, Rielly, if you are an otherworldly creature, flying is not as effective as transforming yourself. Barrett hesitated, "I don't think it would matter if I switched to other spells." ”
"But you can't fly except me, Barrett!" Rielly looked at her companion beside her. That's right, the effect of flying is like that of the face-to-face, allowing you to soar freely in the sky. And not every Warline teammate can fly, especially with perfect maneuverability. Most of the time, as with the Acceleration Technique, you have to prepare a scroll for this spell even if you don't have a transcription.
Barrett touched his chin and suggested, "Anyway, the Stinky Cloud Technique is also a good choice. The same goes for the Wind Wall. I think Clematis and Claudia have had enough of each other's arrows. ”
The Stinky Cloud Technique can block the view in the first place, and it can make the other person vomit so much that they can't move, which is simply fantastic. That's why rich people often like to wear an adaptation necklace. This well-known field control spell from the Cloud series requires careful placement of distant enemies and shouting to your teammates to keep them out of the way.
The Wind Wall is a classic spell for archers, as long as your enemies don't have something rebellious like a stance bow - though that enchantment isn't really expensive. (To be continued......)
