Chapter 4: The Stone of Guardianship
Ximu Town, although it is called a town, but like Helgen, it is just a village, and there are only twenty or thirty households up and down, of course, it is definitely much larger than in the game.
The three of them successfully hugged the protagonist and Larov with the help of the novice benefits and the high favorability of the skin card effect, so they followed Larov to his sister Goldor's house.
Just like the original plot, Gordo issued a mission to the protagonist of the plot, Saipu, to go to Xueman City to find the city lord to report the news, and asked the city lord to send additional troops to Ximu Town to guard against the dragon.
In the early morning, the three of them hurriedly applied to join together, and Nasaipu agreed without much thought. Obviously, in this regard, the novice difficulty is still the novice difficulty, and the "benefits" are very good.
After a supper, the three of them and Sepp, who were very tired from the day's experience, stayed at Goldor's house in the morning. Fortunately, the Gordo family runs a small lumber yard, the family is not thin, the house is not small, there are two guest rooms, one begonia, and the remaining four men work on the floor to make up one room.
The next day, everyone got up at dawn, but the three adventurers all had bags under their eyes, apparently not resting well.
In the lumber yard, three adventurers chatted quietly while eating vegetable stew.
"What do you say about the protagonist's attributes?" Asked Begonia in the early morning.
Seeing that Ling Chen and Lao Pao looked at him, Haitang shook his head and said: "Well, he has a 1-order 4-star strength evaluation, 13 points for physique, 20 points for spirit, and three skills, battle roar, heavy attack and charge, but the skills can only see the name, and nothing else." ”
"The protagonist is just in its infancy now, and his attributes are 4,5 times that of ours, plus skills and rich combat experience, it will be more difficult to mix." Lao Cannon said.
"Well, indeed, if you look at it this way, the wolf I killed seems to be a little weak." Ling Chen nodded, "It seems that the Lord God has weakened them, otherwise we would not have survived before." ”
"Well, it's possible, that's why there will be a side quest to hunt beasts, after all, the main god has reminded us, and the novice trial scene is the Welfare Bureau." Lao Cannon had also played this game, and he analyzed, "If you look at it this way, the ghouls may have also been weakened to have the task of hunting the undead." ”
"That makes sense, then we have to be extra careful if we don't mention it in the mission, because those that are probably not weakened, such as robbers, trolls don't know if they are beasts." Ling Chen turned to Haitang again and said, "You have the opportunity to use this insight skill more, we have to know ourselves and our opponents." ”
"No problem." Haitang smiled at Ling Chen rarely, "But it's a little strange, the protagonist is dressed as a warrior, and his spirit is actually so much higher than his physique." ”
"Yo~ The little girl can adapt to it, and she will consider these problems." Ling Chen sat up slightly and looked at Begonia with a smile, he noticed the change in this girl, "His spirit value is high, I think it should be because of the bloodline, the dragon descendant, the legend is the human dragon soul, the natural dragon nemesis, in the game they can directly absorb the soul of the dragon clan, in order to kill the dragon clan who should be immortal." ”
Saying that, Ling Chen had a flash of inspiration, yes, is there a chance to get his bloodline strengthened by blowing up the pig's feet? For example, like a skill card, a bloodline card is exposed? Isn't this going to be a Dragonborn? Hiss······ Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, you can't beat it, you can't beat it.
Of course, Haitang didn't know the mental activity at this time in the early morning, and when she heard her little girl, she rolled her eyes: "I've been working for 2 or 3 years, and I'm 24 years old this year, maybe older than you." ”
"......" is right, it is exactly 23 in the morning, a virtual age.
"It's not like ah, I look at 18 or 9 years old at most, but I'm young for me, I'm 30." The old cannon answered.
"You know, I thought she would have cried last week, but I waited with my ears pricked up and didn't hear it for a long time." Ling Chen said with a disappointed face at the old cannon, "What about the little sister who said yes, how did she become a big sister." ”
“······” Begonia.
“······” Old cannon.
After breakfast, the group did not rush to Snow City, but was led by Larov to the nearby Guardian Stone in the early morning.
In some parts of the sky, there is a special kind of stone, which is a tool for the saints to spread their faith, similar to an altar, for people to worship and pray for the sacred. In the game, these stones will provide some special skills or buffs, and the Guardian Stone is the most practical stone in the early game, there is no one, its effect is to make you speed up the improvement of skill proficiency, the utility is a proper 5 stars, of course, you will not miss this in the early morning.
The four of them walked all the way without incident for more than ten minutes before they arrived, and the three adventurers went up and touched them one by one and received a hint from the main god:
[Warrior/Mage/Thief's Stone: The Elder Scrolls Plane Guardian Stone, special items.] It can add a passive aura to you, increasing the power of the corresponding class and the speed at which skill proficiency increases. - Valid only in this scenario. (Newbie bonus: The validity period is extended to three scenarios, including this scenario.) )】
There is a cheap and don't take advantage of the bastard, so, there is no doubt that Ling Chen chose the Warrior's Stone, Begonia chose the Mage's Stone, and what was unexpected was that the old cannon actually chose the Thief's Stone.
After that, several people returned to Ximu Town to make the final replenishment. Thanks to the patronage of the wealthy man Gordo and her husband, they received about 2 days' rations for 4 people, as well as 4 animal skin sleeping bags for sleeping in the wilderness, in fact, it takes less than a day's walk from Ximu Town to Xuemancheng.
As for Larov, a good friend who escaped from Helgen with the protagonist of the plot, Sep, he will not go to Xueman, as a Stormcloaked soldier, he is not suitable to appear in the currently neutral Xueman City, and he has to rush to fight against the incompetent Imperial army with his comrades, this matter is not mentioned.
Before leaving, I took two adventurers to visit two shops in the town, a blacksmith shop and a grocery store. The three of them found that the things in the store were all priced with the gold coins rewarded by the main god, that is, shopping here can consume the gold coins of the main god, and the main god will automatically exchange the gold coins for the currency of the scene world when paying the bill.
Really caring service.
The blacksmith sells leather and iron weapons and equipment, or you can provide your own materials and have the old blacksmith build equipment for you, but the fee is quite expensive. The grocery store sells medicines, some common alchemy materials, miscellaneous daily necessities, and skill books, skill books, skill books.
The skill book can be learned directly after purchase, and it does not need to be activated with gold coins like the skill card, of course, the price is not affordable for everyone, such as:
[Pyro-Black Iron: Fire-based primary magic, which consumes mental power to release scorching flames. - Learning Requirements - Spirit (8), Upgrade Requirements: 180 Gold + Black Iron Badge *1] - Price: 450 Gold Coins
[Elementary Meditation - Black Iron: A primary skill of the spiritual system, which is used to visualize the elements, increase the affinity of the elements, and speed up the recovery of spiritual power. - Learning Requirements - Spirit (5), Upgrade Requirements: 100 Gold + Black Iron Badge *1] - Price: 300 Gold Coins
[Charge-Black Iron: Warrior is a primary skill, consumes physical strength to accelerate forward and sprint and impact, the faster the speed, the greater the power of the impact. - Learning Requirements - Constitution (5), Upgrade Requirements: 120 Gold + Black Iron Badge *1] - Price: 230 Gold Coins
[Latent-Black Iron: A thief is a primary skill, a skill that hides in the shadows, reducing one's ability to be perceived by others. - Learning requirements (none), upgrade requirements: 100 gold coins + black iron badge *1] - Price: 200 gold coins
Mage stuff is obviously much more expensive than warriors, and assassins are the cheapest, it seems that this is the social status of mages, warriors and thieves. Ling Chen said that he had watched it and watched it, and it was good to have a good time. Of course, with a "huge amount of money" of 50 gold, he didn't buy nothing:
[Short Wooden Bow - Black Iron 0.5 Stars: A short bow made of tough wood, barely able to shoot arrows, and has a short range. - Durability (10/10), weight +1KG] - Nord old blacksmith family price: 15 gold coins, 30 light iron-tipped wooden arrows.
[Primary Stamina Elixir: Black Iron 1 Star: Restore a certain amount of physical strength and eliminate some muscle damage problems. - Price: 10 gold coins for a small group (3 bottles)
[Primary Magic Elixir: Black Iron 1 Star: Restore a certain amount of mental power and eliminate some mental fatigue. ] - Shameless selling cute and shameful selling price in the early morning: 5 gold coins (1 bottle)
"Here you go." In the early morning, he gave the magic potion to Begonia, and then 3 bottles of physical strength potion for each of the three of them.
"Thank you." The old cannon took the physical potion and smiled happily.
As for Begonia, he didn't thank him, but just said, "I won't waste your help." ”
4 bottles of medicine plus inferior bows and arrows, so it cost exactly 30 gold. It's also a shame that the owner of the blacksmith shop is a Norder, and the favorability is enough in the early morning to get a discount, otherwise that kind of bow and arrow is less than 18 gold coins, so don't talk about it, well, that's what the old blacksmith said anyway.
In this way, there are 20 left in 50 gold, and I thought about spending money to buy medicine in the early morning, but I thought that the activation of skill cards and equipment cards required gold coins, so I left some, if there is no money, the card is always a card, and only the activation is the strength.
After everything was ready, a group of 4 people said goodbye to Ximu Town with a big cloth bag on their backs, and hit the road towards Xueman City.
