Chapter 42: Shi Wei
"Let me think," the believer's fingers tapped on the table like a harp, "there should be one." ”
The elf in the back room walked out, "The one in the stone mill meets his requirements, you can try it." ”
"You're right," snapped his fingers, "wait a moment, I'll find out, you'll like it." ”
Tarrant nodded to the elf in thanks, and her presence helped again, "Thank you very much, and the scroll you gave me last time, my mage friend loved it." ”
The elf nodded slightly, "If she needs anything, she can come here to me." ”
"She's not at the point where she's learning that spell, by the way, what kind of spell is it?" Thinking of Katrina's mysterious smirk, Tarrant thought she should have prepared early.
"It's supposed to be a dragon wing slap. ”
"Dragonwing Flapp?" Tarrant hadn't heard of, "what kind of spell?"
"Mimic the wind generated when the dragons flap their wings and attack the enemies in front of the caster. ”
The believer walked over with a blue-gray armor, "That wind is stronger than the hurricane technique, as a poor and insignificant human, the dragon clan's slap can blow us dozens of meters away. ”
"So...... Is it a Grand Master Spell?" Tarrant asked incredulously, the dragons who were taller than the houses inhabited by humans had the air currents generated by their wings that could not be achieved by ordinary spells.
"Quasi-Grand Master level spells, let's take a look at this armor", the believer put the armor in Tarrant's hand.
The cold-toned armor is a slate-like blue-gray color, simple in appearance, without any detail carving, very cold to the touch, and heavier than the one just now.
"This armor is called the 'Stone Guardian', and it is immune to two-star weapon damage, giving the user the ability to use every time he rests, resisting any will and spirit spell attacks for about five minutes. ”
"That's the equivalent of the spiritual realm once a day", Tarrant happily picked up the armor and prepared to put it on, the ability it gave plus the unique ability of the Judgment Paladin to get rid of the control zhì, the chips against the spirit sucking monster were much heavier.
"Unlike the spiritual realm, its abilities have side effects......" The believer added, looking at Tarrant's hesitation, he continued: "Don't worry, the side effects are not too strict, during your use of armor energy, your sense of hearing and touch will be greatly degraded, you may not be able to hear the words of your teammates, nor can you feel the sword in your hand, you will become an isolated warrior who is not affected by any will spells." ”
This state sounds like a rage...... Berserker's stunt, which pours all the energy into the battle, ignores the wounds and pain on the body, until the target is eliminated or all the energy is exhausted, this should be a good effect, Tarrant asked puzzledly, "During this period, it can improve concentration better, why is it a side effect?"
"It depends on how you use it, and deafness can be your advantage. The elf said.
The believer laughed, "Knight, this is different from the berserker's rage, while the berserker is infusing energy, the strength of the whole body is concentrated on the weapon, so that their combat effectiveness is greatly improved, this is the top way to drive power by will, and the stone guardian makes you perceive the degradation of Yan zhòng, it is not that your energy level has reached the level of integration, your combat power cannot be improved by the stone guard, it is just deaf." ”
"Okay...... I'll try it out", Tarrant unfastened his armor.
"Armor makes the user a dangerous warrior", the believer helped separate the parts of the armor, and Tarrant put it on his body in turn, although the armor felt cold, it did not absorb much heat when worn on the body. When he was all dressed, facing the mirror, Tarrant put on his final helmet, and a blue-gray stone knight stood in the mirror.
"The color of this armor is a stone-like block," Tarrant turned, his back also blue-gray.
"You don't know the origin of this armor, it comes from the Stone Statue Mill, an evil place, this armor has a structure that resembles a rock, but it is much stronger, you can rest assured that the maker designed this armor to make the user a warrior like a stone statue. ”
"So, I'm a gargoyle warrior now?" Tarrant laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Almost, you can resist about 20% or so of elemental damage, and after using the Stone Guardian ability, you are a Stone Guard, how about the price of 9000 gold coins?"
The Stone Guardian also has the effect of resisting elemental magic, 9000 gold coins are worth it, except for being ugly, Tarrant can't find any other problems, "9000 gold coins, it's sold." ”
"It's refreshing," the believer said, propping up his waist, "this is a nice treasure, do you need to engrave a badge?"
"The light of protection, the size does not need to be changed, it is just right. ”
"Ah, the knight of the Sheltered Light, I always thought you were king," the believer looked surprised.
"How can you see that?" Tarrant was equally surprised, he had no friendship with the king, and in his past adventures, he rarely acted with the king's men, and the most recent encounter may have been with the sheriff Carrod.
"It's nothing, it could be a misunderstanding," the believer smiled sheepishly.
"It doesn't affect our deal, does it?"
"Of course not, write down your address, and I'll have someone send it when the changes are complete. ”
Tarrant wrote his name and address on the paper, took out the 9,000 gold coupons in the spirit pattern bag, the money was too easy to earn, and the money was too light, in general, he was happy to complete the deal, there were 795 gold coins left in his pocket, he planned to do speculation, betting on the night boxing match, he would definitely win this victory.
The believer carefully put away the note and continued to ask, "Do you need anything else?" You know, I can buy a whole set of equipment here. ”
"What can I need?" Tarrant asked rhetorically, having accomplished his goal by buying a sturdy suit of armor, and as for the sword, he was not capable of it now.
The believer pointed to the large cupboard against the wall, "like a headband," and he pointed to a wardrobe full of cloaks in the corner, "or cloaks, and bracers, overboots, and even magic rings." ”
Such a full set of equipment Tarrant didn't even think about having to be complete, the price of the item is not proportional to its volume, even a small ring, the price will exceed the armor, the average adventurer's financial ability is simply not affordable, Tarrant smiled: "I can't buy such equipment even if I sell it, for me, armor and swords are enough." ”
"Haha, knight, you should value your life. Now you may not understand, but when you survive death, you will have a new understanding of the original life, all the qiē is illusory, your own life is real, and no amount of money spent on equipment is worth it. If you're willing to sell yourself, I'll take you as a handyman. ”
Tarrant laughed dryly, he had escaped death, but unfortunately he did not have the kind of consciousness that the believers say, "No, the life of the paladin belongs to Maxine, whether it is betrayed or soul, it will degrade me, and my god will reject me." ”
Maxine, the god of justice, who represents light and fairness, is the lifelong faith of the Paladins and many rangers, who brings hope and a future to the earth, thanks to the constant efforts of the gods and believers, Maxine is already one of the main gods with a large following. The paladin's blessing comes from Maxine's charism, and if he loses his faith or violates justice, the paladin's blessing will disappear, so the paladin class must strictly adhere to virtues and rules for the rest of his life.
The believer shrugged his shoulders, "There are fewer and fewer people who can stick to their beliefs in this era, I hope you can persevere." ”
"Of course," Tarrant waved to the believers and elves, "so be it, I'll take my leave." ”
"Okay knight, the Stone Guardian will be sent later. ”
Out of the faith, Tarrant walked towards the White Mist Zone, his plan for the afternoon was simple, rest, and ready for the evening battle. Passing by the cookie shop last time, Uncle Jim's cookies whet his appetite again, the dwarf did not recognize him, and repeated the story of the cookies, and Tarrant hurriedly escaped with two bags of cookies and called a carriage.
As he approached the house, Tarrant saw through the car window that Stewart was sitting in the garden, moving a pair of tables and chairs, enjoying the soft sunlight while a stranger was busy in the garden.
Tarrant got out of the car, and Stewart hurriedly got up to greet him, "Tarrant, I'm back early today." ”
"Need a break in the afternoon, is this ......?" he said, looking at the stranger walking around the garden.
"New gardener, you agreed last night that I had a few new servants. ”
Tarrant had almost forgotten about it, and he always threw the old butler's words into the corner of oblivion, "Oh, yes, are the servants here?"
"I've found four, two maids to take care of the house, and a repairman and this gardener, and I'll let them come and see you. ”
"No, it's okay, it's good to have you in the family", Tarrant didn't like to deal with this kind of scene, he picked up the biscuit in his hand, "Look at what I brought you, a good thing made from a special secret recipe." ”
"I smell a scent, there must be milk and honey in it," the old butler took the bag and took out a biscuit, "It looks good." ”
"Let's try it," Tarrant sat down on the garden chair, where Stuart had just been lying, bathed in a soft light source, very comfortable indeed, and he didn't want to move his fingers.
Stewart tasted it, "must have put some kind of nectar", and as an amateur professional chef, he always analysed the ingredients while appreciating the food, and often, he would try to replicate it himself.
"Who knows, it just tastes good", Tarrant closed his eyes.
The butler chewed on the biscuits, "It's very comfortable to sleep here, you can only sleep on the grass and roll mud in the wild, and you have to be careful of the attacks of wild beasts and monsters everywhere......", the butler said this at first, Tarrant immediately understood what was next, he tried to ignore these teachings from the auditory sense, but unfortunately the butler said it seriously, "...... Why don't you come back and join the king and do your father's old job, the Light of Shelter is just a transitional training camp after all, you can't ......"
After a long series of repetitions, Tarrant finally opened his eyes, "Stewart, if everyone thinks so, Redstone is not peaceful for a long time, dangerous things must always be done, without the sacrifice of a few people, how can a noble territory like the White Mist District be maintained until now." ”
"But the person who makes the sacrifice can be someone else. ”
Hearing this, Tarrant's heart fluctuated a little, the aristocratic thinking always trampled on other low-class people and elevated themselves to the point of non-sacrifice, it was this kind of psychology that made power corrupt morality, and the whole world was chaotic and deformed, although Stewart was out of concern for himself, Tarrant was still a little angry, and he suppressed his feelings, "I want to sleep quietly here for a while." ”
The old butler swallowed the remaining half of his words and withdrew awkwardly, "Okay, I'll call you again at dinner." ”
Tarrant no longer replied to him. Without any disturbance, his consciousness slowly fell asleep under the rubbing of the sun.
Nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, a stranger woke Tarrant with a large box, and he accepted it, and the stone guard inside had a glorious emblem on his left chest. It was almost time to leave, Tarrant walked into the room, the butler's dinner was only half ready, Tarrant sloppily passed away the dinner and replaced it with the Stone Guard.
When the butler saw the knight standing like a stone statue, he only gave a comment: "It's time to go on the expedition again." ”
