Volume 1 [Border Clouds] Chapter 79 Luo Da flickered a new harvest
There are a few things similar to the "Voodoo Puppet", all of which are marked as "exclusive to witch doctors", and Luo Di knew that it was useless to take those things, so he simply didn't touch them, but just took this highest-level equipment, thinking that he could find an enchanter to decompose some crystals and the like, and it would be better to sell them for some money.
These things were not big, and it was the large pile of rare herbs that Roddy found from the wolf in Sarota that surprised him - because most of these herbs were not collected in the kingdom of Karen, and in Roddy's impression, many of them were "priceless" in the kingdom, because they were produced in the Gondola Mountains on the border of the Tasman Undead Empire in the orc kingdom, where even orcs rarely set foot in it, let alone humans.
"Mist mushrooms, withered grass, mongoose grass, this is... Kindness? Before, because he couldn't stay in the dense fog for too long, Roddy only took a general look and hurriedly left, but when he searched carefully, he suddenly found that there was an unexpected harvest in it - "Blasphemous Ginseng"!
Because each "profane ginseng" looks like a withered human hand, he will never forget the appearance of this plant. In Roddy's memory, the high level of collection required for this herb was time-consuming and laborious, and it was rarely needed for its potion, so very few people were willing to dig up this herb...
However, Roddy's surprise stemmed more from the few uses of this herb - the only antidote to the "Soul Extraction Elixir"!
When he chatted with Sally before, he felt that the Duke of Angmar seemed to be bedridden for several years and even unwilling to meet anyone because of the "soul extraction potion", but he didn't expect to get the antidote by coincidence at this time...
If this old guy was really poisoned by someone with this kind of potion, and he went to wake up the other party, would the other party give him more benefits? For life-saving grace, you should give a lot of experience or preferential treatment, right?
Roddy is a very practical person, and more importantly, the "player" thinking in his mind is still dominant, and the principle of "equivalent exchange" has long been ingrained, so after thinking for a while, he made a decision, put away the herbs, and then looked at the next thing.
In the harvest of this thrilling journey, if the herb surprised him, then the last thing made him marvel-
He got ... An egg.
"Egg of Zerak the Snapping Turtle"
Incubable
Incubation time: 60 days remaining.
The thing that hatched out was naturally a baby snapping turtle, and thinking of the scorpion king who had died in the Silent Forest, Luo Di couldn't help but wonder - why did he always run into the boss who was giving birth to cubs?
For things like "eggs", Luo Di actually knows a lot - because among the talent systems of the "rangers" themselves, there is a series of "beastmaster series" routes that strengthen pets, this kind of rangers rely on powerful pets to fight side by side, and the "Beastmaster Hunter" in the classic online game Yamaguchi Mountain is basically the same, it is the professional profession with the strongest upgrade speed and personal ability in the first two years of the game, and compared with the profession of "mage" who has been forced to survive for three years to get ahead, the treatment is simply heaven and earth.
At the beginning, more than ninety percent of players in the "Ranger" will take the "Beastmaster" route to strengthen pets, but the disadvantage of this route is that the stamina is insufficient in the late game - "god-level pets" are unique and limited, catch one less one, so if the pet qualification is mediocre, then the power of the ranger is weak, and the later players have many means to deal with the beast, so the "Beastmaster" route ranger can only beat the side drum in large-scale battles in the later stage, as the icing on the cake, except for a very small number of rangers with god-level pets, Most of the rest became second-rate players.
Luo Di didn't take the "Beastmaster" route at the beginning, but the "shooting" system with the strongest damage output ability, but he naturally has some understanding of pets - "eggs" are a relatively rare pet type, because the "loyalty" of cultivated pets will hardly decline, so at some moments - such as blocking knives and spells for the owner or even sacrificing - will always have a miraculous effect, but this price is also large: the cultivation of eggs is somewhat difficult, and they always have to be taken care of when hatched, and they must be practiced from level 0, etc., which is not an ordinary trouble.
However, it is clear that Roddy does not intend to take the route of the "Beastmaster" ranger. His rule is that "everything is as safe as possible, the game has become a reality, and he simply does not have much room to "try new routes", so the safest and most efficient way is to follow the route he has taken and re-follow it as quickly as possible.
Speaking of which, such an egg is not very useful, and it will be sold when it is available.
I have a plan in my heart, and when I open the experience bar again, the attributes of "Legionnaire" level 8 have not improved much from before, and the experience required to reach level 9 is less than 10,000 - obviously after the level increases, the speed of their own upgrades has to slow down, and the tasks on the task list about "attacking the orc camp" all show the highest degree of completion, and the rear of "Kill the Witch Doctor Sarota" also shows a "special honor kill" sign, representing the identity and status of the other party among the orcs.
Speaking of which, this powerful chieftain who led the orc tribe in later generations to almost level the Karen Kingdom is now dead in front of him... Every time I confirm this fact, I still have an inexplicable grotesque feeling.
The death of this guy will have a far greater impact on the future than saving Sally himself - Roddy is sure of this, but in the short term, the orcs have lost their existence that could threaten the entire kingdom in the future, and they will not have the energy to go to trouble the Cullen Kingdom for several years due to civil strife... So from any point of view, the goal of his expedition has been successfully achieved, although it is thrilling, but there are no casualties, it still makes Luo Di feel a little proud in his heart.
The Technique House is a bit paranoid perfectionist, and Roddy is almost the same kind of character, and the satisfaction in his heart after completing a thing will keep his mental state at a point of excitement for a long time, so he doesn't even have any fatigue at this time.
At midnight, Sodlore came to Roddy with dark circles to replace him, and saw that Roddy was in a state of excitement as if he was "counting money", but he was also a little dumbfounded, and he wanted to say something, but finally turned into a sigh full of admiration.
"Well done today, speaking of which, the deaths of those orcs can basically be counted as your credit."
Luo Di knew what he was thinking, and his fingers played with the crude voodoo puppet, and then the topic changed and asked, "Do you have any plans for the future?" ”
"I... I wanted to ask you that question. Sodrore shrugged, not seeming to have too many thoughts about the future, "Actually, if you want to talk about your plan, I originally estimated that I would be a second lieutenant for the rest of my life, but now that I think about it, what I can do should be... More about it. ”
When the wind blew, Sodrol sniffed, as if he had undergone some kind of metamorphosis in his heart.
"With such thoughts, this trip is not in vain."
Roddy breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his purpose had been achieved: after breaking through the limits and experiencing life and death, both "ambition" and "faith" began to give Sodrore new expectations and hopes for the future, instead of being as hesitant or confused as before - and in this way, he had the opportunity to "guide" him!
So he thought about it for a moment and casually continued the topic: "It may be the safest route to go all the way in the army. However, it is obvious that it is more difficult for such an aristocratic system to go smoothly. Roddy snapped his fingers, "The Duke's army system is too complicated and redundant, especially for those who do such drudgery on our border... Look at it, we've done such a big thing, even if you report it to them, those guys probably won't pay attention to us. ”
"For what?"
Sodrol was a little puzzled, in his heart, the team led by Roddy could be described as a miracle, even if this kind of thing was not commended by the royal family, the lord would definitely make a commendation... It's possible to give a knighthood, but how did it become worthless in Roddy's mouth?
"We should look at the problem from a different angle. If you are a farmer, you will be happy when you learn that the orcs are finally no longer coming. But what about the noble lords above? If you think about it, in fact, they have no reason to be happy, we kill the orcs in order not to endanger the border villages and even the territory of the kingdom, but this is only theoretical. The only thing the nobles are really interested in is money, and if we kill the orcs and bring huge economic benefits, they guess it doesn't matter if I am an earl-"
Roddy shrugged his shoulders and threw the golem into the sack.
"But now, the orcs don't die, they don't feel the difference at all, you tell them that no orcs will come to slaughter the village for a long time in the future, where will they believe such a thing? We have not lost one of them, we killed almost 400 of them, and told the lord such a fact, they will not believe it, let alone dare to believe it..."
"How can this be..."
Roddy's remarks obviously shocked Sodrol a lot, he didn't think about it so much, and he couldn't react for a while.
"To put it simply, after the orcs are almost dead, if we are still scouts, then in the next two or three years, we will really eat idle meals and want to be promoted? It's pure dreaming. ”
Sodrore's mind spun quickly, and he understood that although Roddy's words sounded very straightforward, they were clear and strong, and there was really no room for rebuttal.
"Or do you want to be an adventurer? Mercenaries? Now that I think about it, it's not so reliable, the kingdom is quite stable, and this kind of work is hard and tiring and there is no way out. Roddy shrugged, as if he had vetoed all of these possibilities.
"According to you, I really don't know what I'm supposed to do." Sodrore smiled bitterly, thinking about the family's former blood feud - but now it seems that unless the old Duke of Roussifron suddenly "opens up" and throws him a piece of territory for him to run, there is no way out.
"It doesn't sound like it has much future, but the world is changing after all, and I'm strong, and I'm not afraid of running out of food wherever I go. So if you want me to say, the thing to do now is to make yourself stronger, and the things that follow... I do have some ideas. ”
Roddy led the topic out of the corner with a few words, and Sodrore was already in awe of him at this time, and he was listening carefully and thinking carefully about what he said. And as Roddy unleashes his huge plans, Sodrore truly understands the complex and ambitious blueprint in the heart of this guy in front of him...
As a result, this powerful character who used to be the commander of the corps became a loyal believer in "Luo Da Flicker" at this time, like a fool who was brainwashed in a pyramid scheme den.
