Chapter 17

"Finish, how can I ...... complete repair" Rielly suddenly got stuck, and then had to raise her hand in surrender: "Okay! You win. I'll take care of the equipment repairs. However, as I said in advance, the additional material cost will be included in my contribution. ”

Following the principle of equivalent exchange, the difference between the before and after effects of complete repair is so large that it is impossible to rely solely on the researcher's optimization to achieve it for free. There must be a price to be paid.

"Lily, do you need to pretend in front of us? That kind of alchemy potion for spellcasting is not a rare commodity, right? A bottle is only about 8 gold coins, and you can't afford it! "Claudia. Auditore stared at his friend and laughed.

But Rielly made a natural expression: "Barrett once said that even if he is a brother, he has to settle accounts!" Besides, I'm here to remind you that the spell of Complete Repair doesn't come without a cost to use. If you use it to repair something, you may not be able to gain more than you gain. ”

"It's a loss to repair ordinary daggers and daggers." Barrett nodded, but then his voice changed: "But many times, the effects of spells are not so simple to calculate with money. It's like the trouble we encountered on the road after we undertook the mission of Viscount Jinjing before, and the axle was broken. If the axle is only valued in its own right, it is a loss-making transaction with a complete restoration. However, judging from the situation at the time, if there were spellcasting materials, we would have to use them even if we lost money. Because the return on the time gained is much higher than that little gold. ”

"Don't take me for a fool, okay? I'll think about this kind of thing myself. Or is it because you've been a nanny for a long time, and you really think of yourself as an old mother. Rielly said huffy.

Barrett, who knew that he had touched the sensitive point of the mage. I had to admit that I was unlucky: "Okay, okay." Isn't it okay to count me wrong? This brings us to the next topic. From today onwards, the task for all of you here may be a bit heavy. First of all, Mage you. Don't be lax in copying papers. Maybe sometime, you'll have to rely on your fireballs to fight your way out! ”

"Yes, yes, yes. I didn't expect that after entering the grassland, I would spend more time copying scrolls than I did at the warm stove. At this point, Rielly reached out and tapped her shoulders on either side, "If I were an aboriginal mage, I would have protested against your abusive research-based spellcasters. ”

Barrett, who heard this, immediately gave the cat boy a look: "Lalu, don't hurry up and pinch your Lafayette's back." Whether we can get out of the grassland alive or not depends on her in the future. ”

The kitten that was reminded. Immediately threw himself up behind Rielly and kneaded her for her. Although he was wearing a bandage on his leg, the slightest injury didn't seem to affect the cat-man monk's agility - in fact, all of the players were bandaged, but with the exception of Klamatis. Bot was really badly injured, and the rest of the players had already recovered most of their lives by spells.

However, there will always be a discrepancy between the amount of healing recovered by a medical spell and the amount of damage the player takes. One spell may not be able to fill them all, and two spells would be too wasteful. So after the general treatment is done with the spell, the remaining injuries are dealt with with medical skills - a successful medical decision will completely stabilize the injuries and allow the injured person to recover the same level of health as the character during each 8-hour long rest. Of course, if the injured can be properly cared for, the speed of recovery will be improved.

And from another point of view, the image of players wrapped around the whole body bandage. It also shortened the distance between them and the aborigines. You must know that many of the aborigines in front of you are so injured that they almost die, if you see that the players are all unharmed. Who knows what they'll think?

And the player's behavior seems to be telling everyone that Klematis. Both's remaining healing spells were all used to prioritize the seriously wounded. Even her closest companions were placed behind her. Even the preconceived notions of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' priests charged exorbitantly. Bot still gained a lot of gratitude.

"The burden of a mage is not light, but the work ahead of you is even heavier, Klamatis." After turning his gaze to the priesthood, Barrett said solemnly, "When the surviving aborigines will be able to regain their combat effectiveness depends entirely on the amount of healing you have." ”

"If only I had mastered the words of moisturizing. In this case, it is absolutely possible to liberate Clematis. "Claudia. Auditore suddenly looked at his friend with some regret. But Clematis. Bot didn't appreciate it very much: "I think you're just glad you escaped." Don't think I don't know the effect of your words, you've been whispering in my ear more than once. If you were to be in charge of this job, you would definitely strike in less than a day with a dry mouth and a hoarse voice. ”

The words of moisturizing things can be regarded as a real name, and it is a rare series of words. They have six different prefixes, namely Weak, Secondary, Medium, Strong, Deadly, and Supreme, corresponding to the 6 different True Name Levels of True Names.

This Spiritual Order allows True Masters to depict health in simple words, allowing allies to gain a meagre ability to heal quickly. When used, a small cloud of green light surrounds the target, granting the caster 30 seconds of rapid healing to heal the injury. The effect of Rapid Medical increases with the level of the Spirit of Speech, starting with 1 point every 6 seconds, and finally reaching 20.

And reversing this spirit of speech, the true master will use this kind of speech to make the opponent feel pain, as if there is a wound that is actively bleeding. When the user reverses the spirit that bestows health on them, they change the target's physical condition and deal damage to the target. It was as if a wound suddenly appeared on his body. If the caster remains focused and the target remains within range, he will continue to take the same amount of damage every 6 seconds. The effect of this single target damage will also increase with the level, starting with 1-6 damage every 6 seconds. Until the final 10-60 points show a stepped distribution.

In general, these words of moisturizing things are mindful and inverted. Numerically it is far inferior to healing or damage spells of the same level. Low-level mindfulness can barely compete with rejuvenation. However, it is not suitable as a battlefield spell. On the contrary, due to the lack of immunity and the nature of the spirit of speech, it can cause a certain amount of damage after it is strong - but the need for continuous concentration is a hard injury, and if you want to maintain the effect, then the true master often can't do anything else.

However, judging from the current situation of the caravan, the words of moisturizing things series of words can indeed have a good effect. Ke Barrett and Clematis. Bot like, doesn't think Claudia. Auditore was willing to take on such a job: "I think Clematis is right, Claudia, you have this kind of speech. When the time comes, there will be a strike. I'm not alarmist. You must know that the most powerful place to exert this ability is a field hospital. Therefore, there are many relevant records in the collection of Boreham's territory......"

Claudia, who knew that Barrett was thinking about herself. Auditore did not refute anything. On the contrary, the anvil was already a little eager to try at this time: "The tasks of the two ladies have been assigned, and it should be the turn of our male compatriots next!" ”

"I want to take you as strong men! However, there were no special mounts for dwarves and halflings in the caravan. It's not like you're not out of the use of ordinary horses. But with the current riding skills of the two of them, it seems that it is a little difficult to act as a ranger! Not to mention meeting other requirements. After a while, Barrett, who tilted his head, immediately reassured: "So what you want to do is to prepare for a possible breakout operation." Of course, if I could, I wouldn't want any more accidents to happen in the future. ”

With the division of labor between the players completed, the next day they were all integrated into the caravan system. Clematis who has restored his divine arts. After solving the problem of his severed hand, Bot began very important medical work. She had already planned for a long time, and after stabilizing the seriously injured who were still alive with the limited magic at hand. Priority is given to treating the natives who can recover their combat strength as soon as possible.

In this way, it can not only effectively enhance the caravan's self-protection ability. More importantly, more manpower can be freed up to ensure that the operation of the caravan does not have problems. Although it may be a bit cruel for those who are still suffering from the pain. But the current situation. It also forces players to enforce the principle of priority healing that is commonly used by armies in wartime - to invest limited resources in the living forces that can be put back into use in a short period of time.

But although the mouth is righteous and awe-inspiring, but Klematis. Bot was not exempted from the medical expenses at all. Fortunately, this time the runners were paid quite well, and even those adventurers who had spent their deposits before still had the balance to pay for medical expenses.

And don't forget that this time the horse thief attack, although it caused irreparable damage to the caravan. But while they suffered their own casualties, they also left behind a lot of loot. However, the caravans of these booty were no longer able to discount the price for the time being, and had to wait until they returned to civilized society, along with the remaining balance - the two combined, it was enough to owe Clematis. Bot's medical expenses were compensated.

At the same time, this kind of postponement of payment can also reduce the idea of some brain-dead people running away alone to a certain extent. If all the spoils were settled, perhaps someone would be unable to stand the pressure and flee the caravan alone with his horse in the night. Therefore, even if the steward of Bosi still has the ability to pay, he will definitely say that he is not able to complete this task for the time being.

As for the arrangement of the team, the team leader Bossi was reluctant to abolish the formation of rangers. But he really couldn't spare manpower, and finally had to compromise with reality. However, the whole caravan was completely devoid of those who were exploring the way ahead. So Barrett, who originally proposed to abolish the rangers, took the initiative to apply to take on such a heavy responsibility at this time. Although the changes before and after this will inevitably make the caravan stewards such as the captain of the Bosi team feel strange. But until there is no better option, the only way to entrust the safety of the team is to Barrett.

Riding a horse through the fields in front of the caravan, the bangs under the helmet fluttering in the cold wind. There was not a single dark shadow on the horizon, as if all life had been blocked by the cold wind of late autumn. Protected by the 'Enduring Environment' effect, Barrett carefully searched for targets that could pose a threat to the caravan. Then he said to himself: "The last time there was a surprise attack, it seemed that the caravan had been alerted in advance. Is that a quick way for the rangers outside, or is there some clue on the part of the caravan......"

Recalling that day, Barrett felt that the latter might be more likely. After all, Captain Bosie had sent his men to invite him and Rielly to come and talk to him. If it's an emergency, it's obviously not going to be like this. Instead, like the horse thieves who appeared in everyone's sight later, they sounded the alarm bell and shouted directly.

According to this analysis, there should be someone on the caravan side who found themselves being targeted by a group of unknown origins. Just in case, Captain Bosey was prepared to talk to Barrett and Rielly, the most important of the guards. So as not to be in a hurry when you encounter a surprise attack. However, it was clear that it was too late for the caravan to find out that it was being followed. The horse thieves had already assembled before this and began to greet the caravan with their weapons.

"So how did the Bosie team leaders find out that they were being followed! Is it to crack the tracking methods of those nomads? Or ......" After thinking through one question, more related questions popped up in Barrett's head.

As previous Aboriginal adventurers have said, nomadic herders living in the savannah have much more than falcons to track their targets. The reason why these secret methods are not as well known as falcons is partly because the nomads keep them secret, and on the other hand, most of them because they are not used as often as falcons. Otherwise, no matter how secretive the original methods are, people will eventually find clues.

Of course, caravans that often travel the steppes often have more relevant experience than other intelligent beings. They may have learned about the unknown methods of the nomads, or at least they were aware of them. (To be continued......)
