Chapter 19: Mo Ke Nao, Fackm Hut
The land of islands is rich in products, and those islands are arranged in order, with beautiful arcs like the most gorgeous pendants of the goddess of the sea. In the middle of the archipelago is an extinct volcano that has not erupted for hundreds of years, so it is rich in geothermal and tourist resources, and even the most barren islands have accumulated a thick layer of struvite stones, which can be pulled out by boats for large sums of money.
The cold fog is the political and cultural capital of this island country, a super high welfare city in a high-welfare state, the residents here are idle and free, almost completely do not need to work to enjoy a comfortable life, of course, a large amount of social wealth also attracts gold diggers from all over the world, the city has almost more migrant workers than the local residents, rich and poor in the city because of the household registration is very distinct, a prosperous but somewhat wonderfully distorted rich city.
Sitting on the helicopter, a man in a decent and capable suit flipped through the book, looking at the history and development trajectory of the Luda family, almost as the royal family of the island, the Luda family has a close connection with the supernatural world, or in this world, all the families who stand at the apex of mortals will inevitably have more or less contact with the supernatural world, and the Luda family goes further, its family ancestor is a demon hunter, which has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, and the connection between this family and the supernatural world has never been broken, and their family always seems to have troubleγ
The blonde little witch Kelly peeked out through the helicopter window at the bustling lights, although there are towns and even cities around the Holy Mountain Monastery, but compared with an international metropolis like Hanwudu, it is still too much worse, and the rows of skyscrapers and lanterns are a little shocking for a poor girl in the countryside.
"Let's go, if you like it, take a walk after the mission, as long as you have a strong strength in our world to ensure that you survive successfully, you can always see beautiful scenery, and you can always encounter very interesting things. β
"Oh. β
The helicopter landed on the roof platform in the night rain, and Zhu Peng and Kaili walked out of the cabin, surrounded by waiters in suits and leather shoes with umbrellas to protect them from the wind and rain.
"Mr. Vesy of the Abbey of the Holy Mountain, please come this way, Miss Caroline has already arranged the dinner party and is waiting for the arrival of a few distinguished guests. The strong and tall bald old housekeeper raised his hand sideways, and the etiquette was clear, but this kind of old housekeeper Zhu Peng has seen too much, in many families, these old housekeepers with real power are almost equal to half of the masters, and their upbringing, strength, and bearing directly reflect the heritage of this family.
Walking indoors in the night rain, the Ruda family is so large that ordinary people come here, if no one leads them, they will definitely turn into a faint state, the oil paintings on the four walls, the medieval armor in the corners, this extravagant and prosperous charm, in the thunderstorm roar outside are covered with a layer of gloom.
The bald old housekeeper finally led Zhu Peng and Kelly to a red carpet corridor, where there was a brightly lit house, Zhu Peng and the others beside Kelly's breath stabilized a little before they walked in, the moment they stepped into the room, a strange fluctuation swept over the two of them, Zhu Peng and Kelly were surrounded by a distortion of the air, and the next moment the original suit on their bodies disappeared, changing into a real leather armor, the shield sword on their backs, Kelly was wearing a newly bought blue robe, and at this moment she was shocked and shrank straight behind Zhu Peng's back.
The two rows of the banquet table were already occupied, two ladies on the left, two men on the right, and a hostess in ornate enchanted leather armor in the middle...... Caroline Rueda, the contemporary head of the millennium family.
Originally, there was nothing if everyone was using illusions, but now because of the layout of this room, the illusions shrouded in the body were forcibly lifted, and the value of each person suddenly became very clear, and the two ladies on the left were a fierce and fierce Amazon archer, wearing a leather armor and carrying a longbow, her chest was cut off, and she was as flat as a man, this is a top ruthless person who has dedicated his life to fighting.
Next to the Amazon archers sat a witch with an ornate wand in her hand, a pulsating electric current between her fingers, and an enchanted ring on both her left and right hands.
The two men on the right, one of whom is a bearded swordbearer in iron armor, has an extremely serious temperament. The other was an extremely strong man, with two plate axes nailed to his feet, and at this moment he was eating all kinds of meat without raising his head, and he was a typical barbarian warrior, he did not have much armor on his body, but the magic light on the two axes on both sides of his feet was the most terrifying of the four.
Of course, no matter how much the barbarian is, he can't compare to Caroline Rueda on the main throne, this beautiful girl with black hair is dressed in Gothic black armor, and the helmet, ring, armor, and boots are not visible, but it is also a set when you think about it, this is a legendary suit.
Getting along with such five people in the same room, Zhu Peng's skull round shield on his body flashed with some magic power, as for the seventy or eighty percent new tabula rasa leather armor, which can be enchanted and the sword, they can't be put on the table, and Kelly is even more embarrassed, fortunately, she reluctantly changed into a brand new witch robe some time ago, otherwise now she is wearing patched clothes, I don't know how embarrassing it will be.
"Mr. Vesy of the Monastery of the Holy Mountain, please be seated, we are just ...... Well, it just happened. Caroline originally wanted to say that she had just arrived, but seeing that the barbarian warrior was eating extremely sweetly, she had to change her words halfway, Caroline was a beautiful woman with long black hair, miserable white skin, and dark purple eyes, or with the power of the Ruda family, the patriarch of this family was not ugly.
Zhu Peng pointed and let Kelly, who was timid like a rabbit on this occasion, sit on the women's side, while he himself sat next to the strong barbarian, the various foods on the long table table were pleasing and hearty, and in addition to their own taste, they were also extremely elegant, but all the parts that were close to the strong barbarian had basically been torn to pieces.
After Zhu Peng sat down, he originally stretched out his hand to the roast chicken on this side, but Zhu Peng's eyebrows were raised, and the arm of the barbarian who didn't raise his head to eat and drink stiffened, and the next moment he withdrew his arm, and with his other hand, he smoothed the pork leg in the plate of the ironclad swordsman on his right, and the serious ironclad swordsman was about to be angry, but his eyes were fixed on the beastly red pupils of the barbarian who was buried in eating and drinking, and the anger in his heart was quickly washed away by fear, and the ironclad swordsman who was already weak glanced at it, feeling that everyone else was eating and drinking separately, and no one should notice his weakness, especially if the other party was still a vulgar barbarian, I just don't want to lose my honor in front of the head of the Ruda family.
........................
After a seemingly meaningless feast, there was no need for Caroline to signal that a maid shuttled through to take the plates.
"Well, I won't waste your precious time in the future. The Ruda family invited you to come this time because of a rather tricky trouble. But what is this trouble, because it is a matter of the Ruda family's secrets, so I really can't tell you directly, here I hope that the five of you will complete two A-level missions or six B-level missions in the next half a month. β
"Since you don't believe in our strength, why did you invite us to come? I'm sorry, either tell us directly what the mission of the Ruda family is, or ...... At least I don't have time to play games with you. The white-faced hooked sorceress with enchanted equipment and a white face and hooked nose is obviously also a master of money, she didn't wait for Han Caroline to finish telling her requirements, she got up and left directly, of course, completing six B-level tasks or two A-level tasks in half a month, this intensity is indeed a bit too big, and it has nothing to do with the main mission of the Ruda family, it is indeed difficult for some strong people.
However, at this time, six black-clothed bodyguards came up, and each of them put a leather iron box on the long table, and opened it together, only to see a dozen neatly arranged gold bills, but these six boxes are probably more than 60 million...... Because the trenches of the Ruda family are inhumane, the witch who was still very arrogant just now sat back with her usual face, this is normal, you take a dozen big bills and go to the street to slap people's faces, most people are willing to let you slap your face, and you have to thank you.
"This money is the honorarium for completing the test, and after the test, you will be more satisfied with the reward for helping the Ruda family solve their troubles. β
β...... Miss Caroline, I, I'm not the one to be invited, this, do I still have a share of the money?" said Kelly with a little dazed white hand, she was about to be robbed of her soul by the gold money in front of her.
"Hmm!?10 million more?, then think of it as a stacked reward for the first person to complete the task. The first person to complete the test task will receive an honorarium of 20 million. β
That night, almost everyone present was smashed by Caroline Rueda's exaggerated strokes, money is a bastard, but it is so beautiful, even if it is a strong person in the transcendent world, maybe it is not bad money, but let them take out 10 million in one go, there are really few who can do it, especially many strong people are still lone rangers.
As the head of a huge force, money is just a number in Zhu Peng's eyes, just a constant equivalent, and his mind naturally avoids the influence of external objects and begins to think about other things.
(The female warrior of the Amazon tribe, the sword-wielding mage of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment, the sorceress of Lilian's Hut, the most difficult thing to deal with is the barbarian of unknown origin, the wild intuition has been cultivated to a very high level, he can actually give me a certain sense of threat at this time, even if it is not a legend, he has already stepped into half a foot.) Standing in the box at the top of the floor, looking at the night rain outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Zhu Peng's thoughts changed in his mind.
(Just the preliminary task has to be based on the A-level and B-level tasks, so what is the real trouble that the Ruda family is experiencing?The people that Caroline invited today, their common characteristics are...... No matter what, thinking and deduction must finally fall back to empirical evidence, it is impossible for Zhu Peng not to participate in such an interesting thing, whether it is to quickly accumulate strength or lock the void coordinates, the greater the involvement, the greater the fate wave will be triggered.
The next day, when the day was still gray and not fully lit, Zhu Peng had already taken little Kelly to walk on the streets of the cold fog capital. Kelly, who has always loved to sleep lazy, is very positive this time, she estimated that she had used 20 million times by 40 percent last night, and finally came to the conclusion that she could retire after finishing this vote, which was money that she could not spend all her life, even if she brought her younger brothers and sisters from the orphanage to the city, trained them to go to school and spent her own expenses, it was enough.
"Senior, senior, are we going to complete the task now?" said Kelly's eyes lit up, and she said with some excitement.
"With your whiteboard and the low-level enchantment ring on your hand, what are your A- and B-level tasks?"
"Oh. Kelly rolled her eyes and didn't dare to speak anymore, the outstanding graduates of the Holy Mountain Monastery probably have a second-order level, an outstanding second-order high and top, and Zhu Peng is a third-order, and the cultivation system of the entire civilization in this world is insufficient, and on this basis, even Zhu Peng cannot directly jump to the legendary level. Of course, strength is strength, consciousness is consciousness, defeat the strong with the weak, and challenge the next level, which is exciting and interesting.
obviously knows that he has such a hobby, but Zhu Peng likes to outnumber the crowd and defeat the strong with the weak, and he just thinks that this is interesting enough.
With Kelly, he stopped a car, and after seven or eight turns, he came to a slum area, which was a slum settlement and garbage disposal site throughout the city, and only the air was full of rot.
"Senior, why are you here?" Kelly walked on tiptoe, although she herself was born poor, but that didn't mean she liked to watch these, poverty, it was never a nice thing.
"Because the black market is often in this kind of place. β
"What do those guys in the dark world think? Don't pick a better place for the lair. β
β...... It should be because it is more convenient to take materials and eat here. After all, it is the slum of the capital of the rich, there are no beggars at all, and the foreign labor force living here is poorer than the natives, but it is different from the real poor.
In a dead end surrounded by bricks and stones, Zhu Peng stretched out his hand to draw a rune on the wall, and the next moment the bricks around him flew up, and they formed a passage like a whirlpool, and Zhu Peng pulled Kelly behind him and strode into it.
"Senior, how did you know how to enter?"
"Reading, there are a lot of senior notes in the library, especially if you have to come to the cold fog capital, how can you do it if you don't prepare in advance? Kelly, your ability to read is not bad, and you can improve your studies to the level you have today under the premise of being very difficult, you must make good use of this expertise, which is the biggest reliance on whether you can go further in the future. When Zhu Peng pulled Kelly out of the whirlpool tunnel formed by rotating masonry, they came to a noisy alley.
The tattered white-haired ghost woman, the samurai covered in armor and carrying a great sword, the sound of hammers pounding metal and white smoke appeared at the same time on the side of the street, although it was only a few steps, but it was already completely changed.
........................
"Although I have long wanted to change a set of equipment, I didn't expect that the Luda family would arrange the illusion-breaking magic circle in the family banquet, and lose face in vain, but you earned more than 60,000 yuan last time, why didn't you buy anything for yourself except a new robe?
"Young man, it's the first time you've brought your little girlfriend to Gray Alley? Mother-in-law, here are some things that can make you flutter and happy, buy some and try them, and you will definitely not regret it." A ghost woman with rags and hair suddenly stopped Zhu Peng and Kelly with her palms like chicken claws, and began to peddle the contents of the basket in her right hand.
"You might as well keep the hallucinogens made from dead man's fingernails mixed with verbena, I'll find the Fackham hut, and if you know, take us there, and you won't be busy." "Took out a few golden scrolls and shook them, don't think that people in the supernatural world are all good mixed up, especially in the era of science and technology, ghost women and werewolves are not one or two who are overturned by ordinary people with guns, and it is not easy to survive everywhere.
At present, the only valuable thing in Zhu Peng's hand is the legendary spell book of the Morey Codex, but this forbidden book that records many undead spells will never be exchanged for the equivalent value of property and equipment when handed over to the monastery, because for the Holy Mountain Monastery, such things will be banned or directly destroyed.
The people who are really willing to pay a lot of money to redeem it are the ones who can use it...... Or the opposite of the monastery of the Holy Mountain, those beings of the dark world.
The gray alley of the cold fog capital is a good place to sell dirty, the three sects and nine streams are mixed, here you can sell the necromancer spell book at its relatively highest price, and you can also buy the paladin equipment that Zhu Peng needs, as for the vampire head and third-order arm bone obtained by killing the countess, the vampire's head is a task item, and the third-order arm bone is used by Zhu Peng to pay off the debt of the skeleton round shield, because that arm bone is more suitable for making an enchanted bow and crossbow, while Zhu Peng does not use a bow and crossbow, if he must use a long-range weapon, he would rather use a gun, because there is no difference in itselfγ
More than ten minutes later, the owner of the Fackham Hut, the owner of this shop on the surface is actually an old goblin that Zhu Peng has almost never seen in this world, this guy should have crossed over by accident, because in the history of this world, whether it is the official history of the ordinary world or the hidden history of the supernatural world, there has never been a trace of the goblin race, if this race has existed in this world, how can it not leave any traces.
"Legendary Necromancy Book, good thing. What do you want? gold money or something else. The old goblin looked at it again and again after putting on his glasses, and it was quite a long time before he said this.
"Paladin's full-body armor, tower shield, enchanted sword...... A two-handed heavy sword, two one-handed swords, and the little guy next to me also needs a set of equipment. Looking at the old goblin in front of him for a long time, Zhu Peng suddenly said something to the old goblin in a strange language that Kelly next to him couldn't understand at all.
When this extremely jerky ancient goblin whispered in his ears, the goblin boss of the Falchem hut froze his entire body, and the Morey Codex that he had just held extremely tightly in his hand "snapped" and fell to the ground, and the pair of dim eyes stared at the young man in front of him, and the space around him was visually distorted because of his violent spiritual power.
β...... It seems that the plane crossing has caused a change in your spiritual power, and you are the goblin with the strongest spiritual power cultivation I have ever seen. β
"You, have you really seen anything else like me, the same?" Because of the fierce momentum spread around the other party, the old goblin had to forcibly calm his emotions, it closed its eyes and calmed down slightly, but its voice was still a little trembling.
"I've seen tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of goblins together...... Let's speak in the lingua franca of this world, and I've only learned a few words of the ancient goblin language by chance. "In fact, there are too many planes that have been attacked by the wizarding world, and there are too many goblin slaves captured by captives, and their usual role is to serve as experimental materials, slaves, and dishes, Zhu Peng occasionally flipped through books to learn the ancient goblin language of a large plane, and it is too easy for legendary or even demigod-level wizards to learn a few foreign languages.
Therefore, when Zhu Peng saw that the owner of the Fackham hut was a goblin, he just tried it, but he didn't expect the other party to really pick it up.
This shows that the plane where this guy is located has also been conquered by the wizarding world, but of course there is no need to say it at this time if it hurts feelings like this.
At least the old goblin with the legendary level of spiritual power cultivation waved a soundproof magic cover to talk to Zhu Peng, Kelly could only watch Zhu Peng and the old goblin's lips fluctuate, but she couldn't hear anything. She also knew that people didn't want to hear it, so she pouted and began to look around the various furnishings in the shop.
"You can think that I also came through time, and I have a way to make you ...... someday in the future How long can you live?" Zhu Peng suddenly frowned and said, Attacking the Alien Plane is a big deal, if the preliminary work is not done well, even if it attacks a first-order civilization plane, the expeditionary force may be directly swallowed up by the Cosmic Storm, the Void Turbulence or something, so Zhu Peng suddenly felt a little uncertain in his heart whether the other party could survive until the Wizard World descended.
In the wizarding world, although goblins are alien slaves, consumables, and domestic animals, the wizarding world is not a scientific and technological plane, and the spiritual power cultivation qualifications of goblins are generally not high, but there are still legendary goblin wizards, and they treat these mutants and wizard worlds equally, and there are even legendary goblin reincarnated lichs, completely getting rid of the shackles of racial qualifications on themselves, and how many of the same races these goblins will help and help, the wizarding world does not care, so Zhu Peng is sure to convince the old guy in front of him who misses his hometown and has become ill.
But the civilization level of this dimensional world is only the third level, and the old goblin in front of him has already stood at the peak of the civilization level of this world, and the life span of the legend is only three or five hundred years, and the innate lifespan of the goblin may be shorter, so Zhu Peng is a little unsure whether it will be able to see his own people alive for a while.
β...... Five years!"
"............" looked at the young human in front of him suddenly fell silent, and the old goblin, who was old but also wise, slowly reacted, its wisdom was enough to deduce a lot of information.
"It's okay. Knowing that I am not the only one in this long universe, it can be regarded as a knot in my heart, too many years, so long that I thought that the memory of my childhood in my mother's arms was a beautiful dream. I'll prepare what you need, and in five years' time, please do me a small favor. "With the means of empty gloves and white wolves, he put two full sets of high-end equipment in the hands of the old goblin Monet, but Zhu Peng's mood was not very good.
He didn't know that Monet-Falck, the owner of Fackham's hut, was actually a goblin who accidentally crossed here, but when he saw the other party, he asked impromptuly, but he didn't expect to really pick it up, taking advantage of others for nothing would inevitably make him unhappy, but in just five years, it was too late to prepare for the Lich Transformation Ritual.
Kelly cautiously followed the senior, she didn't know why the senior was unhappy, obviously in exchange for a spell book for the senior and herself two sets of high-end equipment, no matter what angle you look at, you have made a lot of money, what else is the senior not satisfied with?
"The money for your equipment is deducted from your future share, it's not good for the little hairy child to suddenly get rich, the heavier the windfall, the thinner the life. Zhu Peng felt a little more comfortable in his heart, bullying the little angry bag next to him, looking at Kelly's little face bulging but not daring to say anything.
After obtaining the Fackm Hut, the two sets of high-end equipment that the old goblin Monet half-sold and half-gifted, Zhu Peng and Kelly's strength skyrocketed, and the second-order witch Kelly couldn't even fully exert the power of the equipment on her body, a full set of canes, robes, enchanted rings, and even the boots under her feet were attached to short-distance teleportation spells, not legendary equipment, better than legendary equipment.
And Zhu Peng's full-body steel armor is even more exaggerated, it is simply the legacy of a legendary paladin more than a hundred years ago, and was later sold by the descendants of the unscrupulous, but this nameless legendary steel armor is extremely powerful in all aspects, if Zhu Peng completely awakens the sleeping "Soul of Light" in its body, the power will be greatly improved, the soul of light is the core enchantment of this legendary full-body armor, it needs more than pure strength, people in the dark world, the degenerate, even if they get it, they will never be able to really exert the power of this set of armor.
In the cold fog of the night, the silence was torn apart by the roar of fighting and high fighting spirit.
Explosion, fire!
The foehn wind blows from the top of the fifth floor, and the glass on all sides is burst in an instant. Two figures fought and fell from it.
"Fuck you!"
kicked the opponent out of the way, the heavily armored knight adjusted his body in the air, and finally knelt down on the roof of a car, instantly smashing this valuable sports car into scrap metal, while Zhu Peng's opponent, the fat strong man, hit the ground with his back and smashed a big trap head-on, and the dust flew for a while.
"You have fallen like this, and you have only the strength to be gained by killing all your wives and children, cooking human flesh, and sacrificing hundreds of people in Hell's Kitchen?" Zhu Peng slowly walked out of the flames of the exploding car, and Zhu Peng whispered with a sword in one hand and a tower shield in the other, and his terrifying cold gaze could be seen in the narrow gap of the heavy helmet.
"Gain ridiculous power in such a ridiculous way, and your life is a complete joke!"
"Huh" could no longer endure someone's poisonous attack, and a butcher's knife with a black chain tied to the tail handle suddenly flew out of the dusty pit, this knife was entangled with the souls of hundreds of people, soaked in the power of the lower plane, and was already a terrifying demon soldier that could even fight with legendary weapons.
However, such a powerful blow was easily dodged sideways by a heavily armored paladin.
"Kelly, another dagger. β
"Okay. β
Zhu Peng's right hand discarded the tower shield, but this heavy armor did not fall to the ground, but disappeared, and the next moment a one-handed sword fell into Zhu Peng's left hand, which is the witch's first-order spell "telepathy" change application, during the battle, Kelly used a short-distance teleportation spell to hide in the dead corners of various perspectives, she carried Zhu Peng's temporary unused equipment, and from time to time blessed Zhu Peng's long sword with the second-order spell "Flame Strengthening" , Now Kelly rarely casts spells to attack, on the one hand, it is easy to expose her position, on the other hand, she finds that the fireball she hits with all her strength is often no higher than the damage of Senior Wei Xi cutting two pieces at close range, and as the enemy's level strength is getting higher and higher, Kelly finds that the fireball that originally hit a lot of time is now rarely hitting the target.
Because of these cognitive realizations, Kelly naturally positions herself in the direction of support, and a mage who is bent on saving her life is difficult to deal with, and her various spell abilities can also provide a lot of benefits to the paladin.
Spell: Enchant
Tier: Second-order enhanced spells
It is recommended to practice spells first: heat, fireballs
Interpretation: This power-up spell can magically bless a weapon's accuracy and give it the ability to damage with fire, which is a must-have spell in melee combat.
Of course, mages don't usually engage in hand-to-hand combat with enemies, so they usually only need to practice a little without spending too much energy and time on this spell.
On the other hand, if you're going to use the Fire Boost spell regularly, it's definitely a spell worth investing in. When the "Fire Boost" spell reaches level 20, it will give a weapon extremely high fire damage and its effectiveness for up to 10 minutes.
Ten minutes is basically enough to finish a battle, although Kelly's spell cultivation is far from enough now, but as long as she protects herself, she can continue to bless Zhu Peng with flame enhancement spells, superimposed on Zhu Peng's own sword pressure killing and weapon enchantment, its comprehensive damage is very terrifying.
And at this time, Zhu Peng was already holding the magic of the twin swords and the fat man holding two butcher knives in both hands to fight frantically, both sides are fast to fight fast, to attack to attack, Zhu Peng's two-handed swordsmanship is exquisite and fierce, between advance and retreat, the footwork is meticulous, he wields the double sword in his hands, it is like a goshawk tearing the wings of the sky.
"Facing the darkness, you are afraid, panicked, cowardly! You have destroyed human nature and killed your wife and children, but do you think that you don't have to die in this way?"
"When you are afraid, face it...... At least die heroically!"
