Chapter 163: Grand Master's Qualifications
If there is no sun in the dungeon, there will be no change of day and night, and it will always be a dark and corrupt hue.
Downton entered the independent laboratory again, and when he returned ten days later with the potion of haode, the injuries he sustained during the stairs were almost all healed.
"It's finally time to go!" Hu Tao wore a red light armor and carried a battle axe, and couldn't wait to go out.
The armor was found by Homer and Jackson from an armor shop, although it was only excellent level, and the special effects attached to it were also broken, but it was better than the defense of Xiao Lori's original ordinary leather armor.
"Go out of the way!" Seeing that Jackson didn't move, Downton kicked it in the thigh, this thing is not only lazy, but also afraid of death, if you don't use violence, you won't take the initiative at all.
"Me again?" Jackson was depressed, but he still took out his dagger, stepped out on his two long legs, ran a few steps, and then ran in front of Hu Tao.
"What are you complaining about? You'll be the team's scout from now on, otherwise what advantage do you have besides speed and 'immortality'?"
Downton, heavily armed, followed with the team, teaching Jackson a lesson by the way.
Behind him were Celes, who was floating in mid-air a meter above the ground, holding the Tome, and beyond him were two low-level ghouls who were responsible for breaking the Queens and protecting the Banshees.
"How many times have you said that, don't you want to be a target?" Homer began to reproach Serex again, "In a team, the magic power is always the target of the attack, you don't think you die fast enough, right?"
Celes fell to the ground with her head down, since she was reincarnated, as long as she walked, she used the levitation technique, which had become a habit, and it was a bit troublesome to change.
"The trouble has to be corrected. You're so much taller than the others, who do you shoot if the opponent's archers don't shoot?" Homer couldn't wait for Celes to slowly accumulate tactical literacy, and it had to be forcibly instilled in her.
"When we have a tall abomination, even if you float, they will be able to stop you. Downton comforted the Banshee, "Don't cry. When you are promoted a few more levels, I will prepare magic materials for you, summon a demon servant from the dead plane, and when the time comes, you can float as much as you want!"
"You can't spoil her!" Homer was dissatisfied, "Any god of law, even if he has a dragon or an abyssal monster as a servant, will never put his own safety on them. β
"Listen. Homer expects a lot from you, don't let it down. Downton teased Celence.
"I'll try!" Celes nodded solemnly, feeling so stressed.
Homer found out that he had accidentally leaked his expectations for the Banshee of Death, but it was not ready to defend it, with Serex's qualifications, as long as she worked hard, she would not be able to become a god of law and become a lord of death. It's more than enough!
Hu Tao took the lead, after turning a street corner. Came to the heart of Baker's Main Street, then trotted to a sewer mouth and waved at Downton.
"Big brother, come on, find it. β
shouted. Hu Tao didn't wait for Downton to respond, he directly picked up the torn dragon teeth, roared, and smashed it towards the manhole cover.
Although the manhole cover is made of iron, it has long since rusted. It was much more fragile, and it could withstand the vigorous bombardment of Hu Tao, and with a bang, it shattered into more than a dozen pieces.
Little Lori leaned out and looked into the mouth of the sewer, but unfortunately it was dark inside, and she couldn't see anything.
"Be quiet, are you going to bring in all the wandering ghouls?" Downton slapped Hu Tao's forehead and instructed Jackson, who was standing aside, "What's the fuss, go to Belon Street." β
"Huh, isn't it here?" Hu Tao was puzzled.
"Although you have to use the sewers to enter the cathedral, it doesn't mean that you have to go down the entire road, and the monsters in the North End are more powerful, so you can start from the Belon Street close to the North End. Homer explained.
The monsters in the nearby area have all been killed by Downton, and occasionally a few have wandered recently, but they are not a threat at all.
Twenty minutes later, Downton arrived at PerΓ³n Street, but instead of rushing into the sewers, he chose a private house, and after making sure that it was safe inside and nearby, he built a temporary stronghold.
"You've even thought about these details, and you're tired of thinking about it?" Hu Tao saw Homer engrave a magic circle in his bedroom, and even if he was stupid, he knew that they were arranging a way out.
"Take a break, eat and drink, and when you get into the sewer, the smell may not be good, and there may be germs, so all eating is prohibited. Downton let the Grimoire project a three-dimensional map and pondered it carefully.
"As a regiment leader, there are too many things to consider, right? Hu Tao sat cross-legged on the chair, looked at Downton who was contemplating, sighed dejectedly, and then felt that it was an honor to have such a powerful big brother.
"Study hard, you can too. Downton laughed dumbly.
"Yes, study, my wisdom hasn't increased much recently, it must be because I'm lazy!" Hu Tao patted his forehead, suddenly realized, and quickly took out a large book from the cowhide schoolbag he was carrying, and quickly flipped through it.
Poof, this time Homer couldn't help but laugh, and the big bronze hand shook violently.
Because on the cover of the book is actually written 'Wisdom Book' four golden characters, which are not low-key at all, it seems that this is Hu Taohua's savings for a year, buying to try to increase the wisdom of the 'hole card'.
"Does this work?" said Celes, curious and skeptical, as she floated up to Walnut.
"Of course, the boss said that after reading it, he could become a great polymath scholar of the ancient and modern world, well, even more powerful than the magic book. Hu Tao frowned and thought about it for a long time, but still felt that the Demon Book was the most knowledgeable, so he used it as an analogy.
Little Lori's patience was limited, and after less than ten minutes, she pulled Celes and Jackson to sit on the ground and played king poker.
"Weishenme lost again?" Hu Tao was very depressed, opened his purse, and gave each person a gold coin.
"How dare I ask for your gold coins!" Jackson flattered, but there was no intention of returning it in his hand, he pinched the gold coin to his mouth and blew it, listened to the metal trill, and then put it in his pocket with a satisfied face.
"Hmph, I don't need to pay it back, I'll be able to win it back soon. Hu Tao was arrogant, shuffling the cards, unwillingly urging, "Come again!"
Celestia clutched a handful of gold coins, excited, finally winning for the first time, which greatly satisfied her self-esteem, she had never won a single time when she had played with Downton, Homer, and Jackson, and every time she had lost everything.
Downton didn't dare to relax, in addition to memorizing the map, he also had to consider all the contingencies that might arise during the operation, and then make a coping strategy.
Homer is very satisfied with Downton's performance, this is the basis of becoming a good regiment leader, is the responsibility he should shoulder, only this kind of tireless, meticulous preparation, can be flexible in the adventure, in the accident, to minimize the loss.
For two hours, the attentive Downton was like a stone sculpture, staring at the three-figure structure almost all the time, except for the occasional writing at the desk.
"Isn't he tired, you say?" said Dresse, distressed Downton, "you guys play, I'll make him a cup of tea." β
"His nerves are made of steel, so he won't get tired. Although Jackson teased Downton, he admired it from the bottom of his heart, this kind of master will inevitably make a career in the future, and it may be a kind of luck to follow him.
"Steel, really?" Hu Tao looked at Downton with a stunned expression, and then showed a sudden realization, "No wonder he is so powerful, it turns out that he is a steel nerve, but I haven't heard of this race?"
"I'll tell you another secret, not only the nerves, but even the lower half of the body, are made of iron, if you don't believe it, you can touch it!" Before Jackson could finish speaking, a book smashed on its head.
"No more, I'll tear your mouth. Downton frowned.
"Hey, who's going to play the cards?" Jackson pretended not to have done anything, and seriously urged Serex to play cards.
In the dungeon, where time could never be felt, Homer completed the makeshift teleportation array and told Downton that he could act.
"Pack up your gear and go. Downton got up and stretched.
"Wait, one more game. Hu Tao made a stop gesture and quickly shuffled the cards.
"Do you still have any money? I don't play with poor ghosts!" Jackson stood up, his pockets full of gold coins, and even a few golden tickets.
"Uh!" Hu Tao looked to the side dumbfounded.
There was a shriveled frog money bag, which was empty in the night, and little Lori had lost all the money Downton had given her, and there was not even a copper plate left.
"Hey, why aren't there any of them?" Hu Tao grabbed the money bag and threw it down vigorously, trying to pour out a copper plate.
Celes couldn't take it anymore, so she took a handful of gold coins and pushed them in front of her.
"Hmph, I don't want other people's money," Hu Tao jumped up, picked up his backpack, picked up his tomahawk, and walked to the door, "Next time, next time I will definitely win it back." β
Downton heard the cry in Hu Tao's voice.
Little Lori really cried when she lost, this is not only a loss of money, but also an insult to IQ.
"Next time you play, if you still play a thousand times, I stomped on your hand. Downton glared at Jackson, this thing was too ruthless, it didn't let little Lori win once.
"Ahh
"Alright, let's go!" urged Homer.
Downton finds the sewer outlet closest to the makeshift stronghold, and after letting Walnut break the manhole cover, two low-level ghouls jump in, followed by Jackson.
"If you feel uncomfortable, tell me right away and don't be relentless. Before Downton could finish speaking, the curious little Lori had already jumped down.
"Take care of her!" Downton jumped in with a lit oil lamp, but darkness still came in. (To be continued......)
