Chapter 46: Awakening

"Unfamiliar with the ceiling?" Barrett, who returned to the character interface, saw the first thing he saw was the roof made of strips of stone. This couldn't help but make his cheeks twitch slightly: "This should be the bad taste of the system god." ’

At this moment, Barrett heard a somewhat noisy voice in his ears: "Wake up!" Wake up! Our hero has finally woken up. ”

With that non-sarcastic tone, several figures quickly appeared in Barrett's sight. Barrett vaguely remembered that these were supposed to be soldiers in the fortress. But they really didn't have much presence, and Barrett hadn't paid much attention to it before. So now I don't know what these people in front of me are called.

"Are you awake?" Barrett was then approached by a man in a white robe, and the decoration of the dress showed that he was the resident priest of the fortress. Then the guy reached out and looked at Barrett's eyelids, and then pinched his body, and then came to the conclusion: "The recovery is very good." You should be able to get out of bed in two days. ”

Priests have the magic to determine the condition of a person at a glance, but in many cases they still use observation to confirm the condition of the patient. Who makes every day's magic limited! Often, only those who have the intractable diseases of the big people will use that kind of spell. What's more, it's still wartime, and every magic skill needs to be used on the blade.

Hearing this, Barrett understood that this was the resurrection method arranged by the system for himself - the first-line warriors who survived after being seriously injured, and the battlefield heroes who faced the dragon and injured the opponent. At least the wounded at the medical station thought Barrett was a hero. It seems that it was also the upper echelons of the fortress, and Barrett was promoted as a wartime model. Experienced commanders can play a game like this to boost morale.

The next thing Barrett did was open the mission log and start looking at a series of system prompts before he died:

"The player is attacked, and the Muscle Armor launches ......"

"The player is in a grappling (grabbing) state......

"The player suffers a puncture injury. Muscle Armor activates ......"

"Players affected by the Shadow Dragon Raid are affected by 1 (temporary) level drop by 1 (temporary) ......"

"Players affected by the Shadow Dragon Raid have their level dropped by 2 (temporary) ......"

"Players affected by the Shadow Dragon Raid are affected by 1 (temporary) level drop by 1 (temporary) ......"

“……”

"Player Level drops below Level 1 (Temporary)...... Player Death ......"

'The rhythm of being sucked to death by the Shadow Dragon's breath. Barrett put his still weak arm on his forehead, "If it's also energy-absorbing, this kind of treatment is much worse than dying under the kiss of a succubus." ’

Shadow Dragons are notoriously small in the dragon family (excluding Elven Dragons, of course), which means they tend to be more powerful than other dragons for their size - even the smallest of the five-colored dragons, the White Dragon, is larger than the Shadow Dragon at the same age. It's just that those guys have some problems with their IQ, and many times the strength they show is not worthy of the title of dragon at all. Therefore, in terms of combat effectiveness, the two sides are more than one step apart.

However, the petite size also has a certain negative effect on the Shadow Dragons - their strength stats are not very strong. Compared to other dragons. They are at a disadvantage in this regard. Take the adult shadow dragon that attacked Barrett before, his strength attribute is actually the same as Barrett's 19 points. If it weren't for the fact that the guy was covered in various support buffs before the action, it would not have been easy to keep Barrett in the dragon's mouth at that time.

Even with the help of the buff, Barrett's struggles caused him considerable trouble. What's more, in Barrett, who has muscle armor, his resistance to blows is not under several common golems. This, combined with the Adamantite breastplate he was wearing, made it very difficult for the Shadow Dragon to bite Barrett to death with its closed mouth - it felt like an ordinary person chewing a walnut with his mouth.

However, the dragon clearly did not intend to spare Barrett, the ant who had done him a lot of harm. So the guy directly bit Barrett with his mouth, and then used sucking breath to beat Barrett, who couldn't dodge, to death.

I remember the dragon's breath interval was between 6 and 24 seconds! In other words, I was bitten in the mouth by that guy for 30-120 years. Thinking of this, Barrett immediately remembered himself being bitten by a dragon and tossed around, "I was so nervous." I didn't even notice the specific time! ’

To be honest, although Barrett became the target of the Shadow Dragon's venting, it was good news for the defense line at that time - at least the opponent's sharp teeth were useless for a short time before the Shadow Dragon released his mouth and threw Barrett down. At the same time, Barrett's weight of more than 200 pounds in a helmet somewhat affected the Shadow Dragon's agility - the long dragon's neck was notoriously laborious.

What's more, the shadow dragon's mouth was blocked by the big man Barrett. Although the opponent's dragon breath can still be used, with such a 'bottle stopper', the effect is greatly reduced - the breath leaking through the gap is much less of a threat to the soldiers.

I didn't expect that I, who fell into the dragon's mouth, actually made a lot of contributions to the stability of the front. Thinking of this, Barrett really didn't know what expression to use to express his feelings. It's just that the resurrection stone that has been consumed can't come back.

Moments later, Clematis. Bot and Claudia. Auditore, two of his companions who worked at the medical station, came to Barrett. Claymatis. Bot turned Barrett's head and asked, "How does it feel?" ”

"It's just a little weak. The debuff on the character's face lasts for about two days. Klamatis, can you help me solve this problem with magic? Barrett said with some weakness.

Claymatis. Bot shook his head, "The negative status on your body comes from the breath of the shadow dragon, so I don't have the ability to remove its effect. And those high-ranking pastors. I don't think they'd spend more than 4 rings on this kind of thing. After all, you will be able to recover on your own after two days at most. ”

"Anyway, the system clearly reminded us that Barrett had already died once! Since the Resurrection Stone was consumed, why didn't the negative effect of Shadow Dragon's Breath be removed? "Claudia. Auditore was puzzled by this.

Hearing this, Barrett lay on the bed and smiled: "Maybe it's to arrange a reasonable way for me to survive!" After all, my previous actions have fallen into the eyes of too many people, and my character has gained quite a bit of prestige as a result. If it is in an environment where few living people have seen it, it should be able to be resurrected directly. ”

"Speaking of prestige. Now, in this forward fortress, I'm afraid there are few people who don't know your name, Barrett. "Claymatis. Bot also began to tease at this time. "I think if you go back to the front in two days, you will definitely get a lot of attention."

"The front line? Can Clematis tell me a little bit about the situation on the front lines? As Barrett said this, he lowered the arm on his forehead.

Hearing this, Clematis. Bot shook his head with a wry smile: "What else can I do?" It's like that! The Dark Elves are not capable of breaking the city in a short period of time. But they still had enough siege power. The casualties we inflicted on them. At present, there is no way to force them to retreat......"

In Clematis. In Bote's introduction, Barrett also had a general understanding of the battlefield situation after he fainted. The Shadow Dragons did put a lot of pressure on the defenders of the fortress at first, but in the end their attack was successfully repulsed - the enemy-breaking weapons aimed at the dragons left an indelible mark on the damned dragons.

The Dark Elf troops, who took advantage of the influence of the shadow dragon to attack the city, were also driven down the city again due to the efforts of the defenders. But Clematis. After all, Bot was not at the scene, and all she knew was the official propaganda of the fortress and the sporadic accounts of the wounded. So Barrett was given only some very vague information.

"And what about the dragons' injuries? Is it still possible for them to attack us in a short time? Barrett is asking the question that is most important to him right now. After all, within two days, Barrett was incapacitated, if not immobile. At that time, if the fortress is breached, he will inevitably have to consume another resurrection stone. That was definitely something Barrett didn't want to see.

Claymatis. Bot touched his chin: "I don't know the specific situation. However, among the trophies is said to be a dragon wing. I guess one of the dragons was injured! ”

Just then, there was a voice from the room, "Lady Bote! Ms. Bote! The shouts were obviously waiting for the two female compatriots to complete.

"Sorry! We'll just have to talk about the rest when we have time. I'll find noodles later! He was on the city wall at the time and should have been able to know more. "Clematis who said this. Bot turned and hurried towards the shouting voice.

And Claudia. Auditore was half-leaning on the bed where Barrett was lying: "It's been a busy time. Barrett, you should know before you faint how many casualties this attack caused! ”

But before Claudia. Auditore finished speaking, Clematis. Bot walked over and dragged him away: "You guy is too lazy, I won't pay attention to you ......"

"I finally have a chance, you can let me rest for a while!" Claudia in the middle of being towed. Auditore couldn't help but complain.

Claymatis. Bot said without looking back: "You have time to rest and work is done, now come over to me first." Otherwise, wait for the evaluation to drop. You don't have to complain about the lack of experience. ”

He lay on the bed for most of the day, during which time the wounded nearby greeted Barrett. He dealt with these aborigines with all his heart. Barrett didn't know what the other party could do to help him in his next move. But hopefully they're at a critical moment. Don't mess with yourself. At the same time, Barrett, who was bedridden, was also fed some semi-liquid food - a kind of jelly made of thick broth, which was easily portable, and it was nicknamed 'portable frozen soup'.

And until the busy figures around him have become fewer. Claymatis. Bott then led the halfling wanderer to Barrett. As soon as he saw the noodles, he reached out and slapped Barrett: "Big man, you're completely famous now." There aren't many people in the fortress these days who don't know your name. ”

"The sheer rise in prestige on the quest board alone speaks volumes. But it's hard to say whether it's worth it or not to exchange a resurrection stone for this! As Barrett said this, he struggled to sit up with his hands on the bed.

Hearing this, the halfling wanderer immediately pursed his lips unhappily: "It's good to be able to exchange the resurrection stone for this!" I think of our resurrection stone at the beginning. But it was consumed in vain. ”

Barrett, who knew what he had just said, heard a little harsh in Noodle's ears, and immediately asked about the topic he cared about: "Noodle, can you tell me how the three dragons were defeated before?" ”

"What else? Although their strength seems to be stronger than those knights in the city, they are still not pleasing under the siege of 2 to 1! Moreover, there are so many garrison equipment in the fortress, which also poses a considerable threat to them. Speaking of this, the noodles paused as if they remembered something: "That's right! The dragons were a little sluggish in their movements. According to the guy at the anvil. It was Mr. Barent's deep stone curse. It seems that it was also from that time that several knights launched a counter-attack. ”

"Deep Stone Curse? The power of the Deep Stone Lord is indeed able to affect those guys. Barrett, who was sitting on the bed, nodded, "Anyway, what's the specific situation of those dragons?" All I know now is that one of them had one of its wings cut off. ”

An experienced Deepstone Lord possesses the ability to manipulate gravity. He can also inflict the boon of the earth on himself, freeing him from the earth's restraints (anti-gravity, similar to the effect of flying). He can also apply the weight of the earth to his enemies. At that moment the enemy becomes incapacitated under the enormous pressure it injects.

"Except for the unlucky man who dropped his wings, the one you cut off a few dragon claws also had his horns broken off in the later battle. When he left, he was also drenched in blood. The other dragon was relatively intact, but it had holes in its wings. It seems that there is no way to return to the state of the winning period in the short term. Noodle flicked his fingers and told Barrett what he had seen. (To be continued.)
