Chapter 13: Don't be cowardly

On the way back to Roger's camp, Ethan was in pain and happy.

Naturally, he was happy that he had always wanted to learn the basic ability of fighting, and he finally learned it from this necromancer, who was officially known as the priest of the Rasma Sect.

Painfully, Zur's teaching method is simple and brutal, except for some basic movements and exertional methods at the beginning, the daily teaching is to fight - or one-sided punching is more appropriate.

In Zur's words, Ethan at this stage should not think about how to effectively kill the enemy, but should learn how to protect himself in the midst of a stormy attack, and then look for a counterattack opportunity that can kill him with one blow in defense.

"It's not realistic to improve your physical fitness and fighting skills in a short period of time, so at this stage you can focus on how to save your life. ”

Zur, who had beaten Ethan again, said this, and with the last 'sparling', the road was not long, even if it was slow, and the two of them finally arrived at Rog's camp.

The Rog guards at the gate knew Ethan, and they didn't bother too much about the Zur that Ethan had brought back, especially after Zur said that he had come here at the request of Issandra to deal with the growing dark power, and the Rogers gave a warm welcome.

"Rogge here is a branch of the Amazons, and his combat effectiveness is very strong, but he didn't expect to be suppressed by the dark forces to the point of looking forward to the arrival of the savior. ”

The state of the Rogers is not good, although it seems that the morale is okay, but as the days go by, the dark energy becomes stronger and stronger, and they have fewer and fewer options, so they can only passively stay in the camp all day long. In this situation, they can no longer show the strength to dare to fight the demons head-on.

"It seems that Andariel needs to be solved as soon as possible, although I don't know if we can completely eradicate the problem of the surge of dark forces, but at least it can alleviate the situation in this area...... It is believed that as long as this powerful demon is killed, after the dark power subsides, these rogers will be able to deal with ordinary dark creatures, which will also restore their morale. ”

Zur is a man of action, he does it when he thinks of it, and immediately asks where Isandrola is, and he can't wait to team up with Issandra to push the boss of Andariel.

Isandrola was also in the camp waiting for Zur to arrive, and the two men soon met and discussed the crusade against the dark creatures.

In contrast to Zur's idea of going straight to Andariel, Issandra said that she needed to clear the dark creatures around her, especially the minions that Andaril had specially arranged.

"Especially the recent evil caves, according to my observations, there have been a large number of dark creatures gathered in it, although they are not very powerful creatures, but more and more of them are still a huge threat. If left unattended, the camp will likely be destroyed. ”

"Camp Rog is almost the last human camp in the vicinity, and even if we kill Andariel, it will be up to Rog to clean up the entire area of the dark creatures...... So we have to clear the cavern of evil as a potential threat. ”

Zur nodded, agreeing with Issandra's plan: "You're right, let's clean up the area first, it shouldn't take much time, after all, there are three of us." ”

"Three?"

Isandrola was stunned for a moment, blinked, and then noticed Ethan, who had not squeaked beside her, "You mean...... Ethan?"

This time, Zur was stunned: "Isn't he a companion in the fight against the dark forces?"

Only then did Issandra realize what Zur had misunderstood, and shook her head with a smile: "No, although he can help somewhat, but he hasn't even touched the door of basic magic now, so it's not appropriate for him to fight the dark creatures now." ”

"Well, then it's just the two of us. ”

"Rest assured, the growing strength of the dark energy will cause alarm among many groups. I believe that it will not be long before more and more partners will appear. ”

When Ethan heard this, he thought of the Paladin, of the Barbarians, of the Amazons, and of the Druids and Assassins who joined later, and the first three plus the two in front of him became the hero who once again destroyed the Demon King Diablo and the Demon King Bal.

However, it seems that he will not be able to meet these people. He had taken the time to calculate that he had been in this world for more than twenty days, and that he would leave the dark world and return to that strange ocean in the last few days.

The goal of his initial plan was basically completed, not only did he learn how to build a magic array, but he also got a magic book that recorded the basic principles of spells and how to use them. I learned the basics of magic potion making, how to use mental power to distinguish the properties of herbs, and learned basic hand-to-hand combat.

These things were firmly in his mind, and the strengthened memory once again provided great help. Some others who didn't have time to write down also got books, so they could go back and continue studying.

It can be said that this dark trip has been very rewarding, as long as Ethan persists, his strength will steadily improve, and even because of the variety of categories involved and the mutual promotion and improvement, he will not encounter the so-called bottleneck in a short period of time.

"Next, it's time to pick up the equipment that you have ordered. ”

Before he left Rog's camp to find Zur, he used the money he earned to ask Chasi, the blacksmith in the camp, to help him make a small piece of equipment.

In fact, the day after he left the camp, Chasi had already finished building what he wanted, after all, it was really just a small prop: two bracers that were not heavy, and there were small traps on the outside of the bracers, which could fire three short arrows about ten centimeters long.

Before building, he asked Kasha about the tricks of the Rogers attaching magic to the arrows and launching them, and then after some deliberation and constant modifications, he finally completed the final design with the help of Issandra, and then asked Chasi to create the real thing.

At present, what I got from Chasi is still only a half-finished product, and now it is just an ordinary bracer, a bracer that can fire a total of six short arrows.

After getting his hands on it, Ethan also needs to inscribe the magic circle in the preset area of the bracers himself, which is a delicate and trivial job, plus he only has such a pair of bracers, if there is a huge failure to destroy this pair of bracers, he has no chance to remake a pair.

Ethan, who was highly concentrated, not only adjusted his state to the best in advance, but also set up a big sign outside the tent: Do not disturb.

After feeling that everything was ready, Ethan began to engrave the magic array that had been designed a long time ago.

Engrave the equipment into the magic array, record the specific magic, and then activate it with the trigger of mental power to achieve the effect of casting some magic.

This is the talisman item Ethan prepared for himself.

This concept is not complicated, he just splits the steps of a mage to perform magic, and then dismantles what a mage can do on his own, leaving only the most basic matter of mobilizing mental power to trigger.

The mana will be provided by Ethan using several magic stones in his hand.

For the convenience of use, Ethan also added a mana storage link to the magic array, so that he only needed to import the power in the magic stone into the magic array in his free time and store it in advance, avoiding directly putting the magic stone on the bracer to add a 'hardware' At the same time, it also reduced a step to extract mana, saving the time for magic activation.

The shaping and casting of magic are all automatically completed by the magic array, the advantage is that there is no brain, and the disadvantage is that everything is preset, whether it is power or speed.

In order to make up for the weakness of the magic power and the roughness of the magic array, Ethan had to increase the physical carrier to increase the lethality, so he added short arrows - or sleeve arrows - to the bracers, and specially asked Kasha for advice on how to attach magic to the arrows.

When finally completed, the bracers became magical equipment that could fire six flaming arrows attached to them.

There is no manual mechanism for this equipment, Ethan spent some energy to design the mechanism for firing short arrows to be triggered by mental power, it can be said that this equipment must be used with mental power, and the one that changes direction has also become his own exclusive equipment - mental power control to a sufficient degree does not look down on this thing, and there is not enough mental power control on it.

"It always feels like it's a bit like a woman's use. ”

Ethan, who had been busy all night and successfully designed and manufactured his first piece of magic equipment, was very happy, and some of the grooves that rose from the bottom of his heart were actively ignored by himself.

After putting on a pair of bracers and feeling the weight and whether it affected his movements, Ethan carefully sorted out his things. He took out a few more bottles of the special potion he had made and put them in the small bag behind him.

With the dagger on his waist and his shield hanging within easy reach, Ethan left his tent and went straight to Issandra.

Although he had been busy all night and had exhausted some energy, Ethan had recovered after a period of rest. During this time, he has been insisting on various cultivations, and his physical and mental strength have reached a new height.

Feeling some of his current state, he made an important decision: he was going to travel to the Evil Cavern with Isandrola and Zur to clear the dark creatures that inhabited it.

"With two powerful teammates, Zur and Issandra, if I don't dare to face even the weakest of the dark creatures, what will I do in the future?"

Who knows what kind of world he will go to in the future, what kind of monsters he will face? Does he always expect that he will be able to hide in a safe place to collect resources? Who knows what he will encounter in that marine world? Can he guarantee that all he will meet in the future are ordinary people?

"Although I was a little cowardly before, I must not be vague when I should be reckless!
