Chapter 173: Rectification and Preparation
Barrett stayed in Clover City for about a week.
During this period, he not only completely recovered his somewhat ill body, repaired the relatively broken protective gear on his body, and identified and familiarized himself with several newly acquired equipment.
In terms of armor, the scarred leather armor was sent by Barrett to the tailor's shop for repairs. Fortunately, he still had a large enough scaly petrified cowhide to be left before, otherwise, this set of fine leather armor that had protected him countless times would have to be repaired with calfskin. Not only will the defense of the leather armor be reduced a lot, but it will also look nondescript when it is repaired.
In addition, Barrett also spent a lot of money to buy a good kite-shaped shield - the Black Knight Shield from an armor shop called 'Go Ahead'.
[Black Knight Shield (Imitation): The main body of the shield is made of oak wood that is more than 100 years old, which is strong and elastic, which can absorb a lot of impact and reduce the risk of arm numbness. Outside the main body of the shield, it is covered with a shiny stainless steel shield and an alloy shield surface mixed with trace amounts of magic iron. The overall shape and pattern of the shield is modeled after the standard shield used by a human expeditionary corps called the 'Black Knights' before the Magic Empire. The shield is superior in terms of defense than the original, but it doesn't have fire resistance like the original. 】
[Note: Hey, brother, don't you pass the fire?]
In his adventures beyond the Misty Forest, Barrett could sense at many times that the small round shield he had previously equipped was a little inadequate.
In the forest, there are many trees, vines, and bushes. Agility is often more important than anything else when it comes to combat, so equipment that doesn't compromise on agility is the first choice. But outside the forest, there is a lot of open terrain, and a strong shield that can protect half of the body is still very much needed.
In terms of weapons, the 'Iron Bride', whose blade was a little cracked, was also repeatedly polished and carefully maintained, making this strong girl who had accompanied Barry's franchise for many years bloom with a dazzling smile again.
Moreover, after taking away Barrett's harvest, Mage Alvin did not treat him badly, but compensated our barbarian with a very special one-handed axe, Engil's Resonant Battle Axe.
[Engil's Resonance Battle Axe: Engil Hantie was once a very famous warrior of the Dwarves. His one-handed axe is very skillful and excellent, and he can often wreak havoc on the hordes of dreadclaw monsters underground, armed with an axe and shield.
However, in a fierce battle in which the dreadclaw monsters invaded, Engil had to throw his favorite weapon out in order to save his comrades. Although the axe accurately struck the monster that lunged on his comrade and saved the comrade who nearly lost his life, Engil himself was severely injured by the other dreadclaw monsters.
Recovering from his injuries, Ngil was in much worse health and could not return to the battlefield. After this, Engil Hantie became a blacksmith. Based on his own encounters in battle, he tried to create a one-handed axe that could fly back automatically after being thrown. After trying a variety of methods, Engil finally used the power of magic to forge the weapon. 】
[Additional Attribute: Throw Recall.] The tomahawk comes with a bronze ring that can be used to summon the tomahawk back into its hands with the power of the bronze ring when it is thrown. Recall range: one kilometer. Note that the recalled weapon is just as dangerous as when it was thrown, and that the second owner of the weapon had two fingers cut off by the weapon that flew back, and the third owner had three fingers cut off by the weapon. 】
[Note: This weapon is also known as the 'Finger Terminator', and now, it's your turn.] 】
As for the accessories, Barrett wore the 'Eternal Sleeping Place' with a rope around his neck, and the bust was still in his leather armor-lined pocket. On the middle finger of his left hand is the Spatial Ring 'Song of Saran', and in his right hand is the bronze ring that matches the 'Resonant Tomahawk of Engil', as well as the bone ring that Abomination Gerdo gave him.
[Keel Ring: A ring made from the tail bone at the end of the tail of the rainbow dragon.] 】
[Rainbow Dragons can be called the most powerful dragons in the color dragon system.] Their most notable talent is their ability to resist magical energies such as ice, acid, electricity, and fire. In infancy, the halo color on the scales of the rainbow dragon spanned the entire color spectrum. Over time, their scales will grow larger, their colors will become more vibrant, and their resistance to magic will increase with age, and the primeval rainbow dragon will even be immune to these magical energies.
However, this powerful dragon is not immune to necromantic spells, and sonic magic can cause them more serious damage. The Magic Empire had slaughtered this dragon because of its powerful magical resistance, and now, the main material plane is almost no longer visible, and the remnants of the rainbow dragon are hiding in other planes. 】
[Additional attributes: 1. When worn, it has +10% resistance to all magical energy except for necromancy and sonic waves.]
2. Sonic spells will deal an additional 30% damage. 】
[Note: Sometimes, your most remarkable areas will bring you the most terrible disasters.] 】
In addition to these equipment matters, Mage Alvin also fulfilled one of Barrity's wishes when he successfully brought the Lich Fatbox out.
This wish was not worth mentioning at all for the mage, but for Barrett, it solved a great problem that he was quite distressed about. That's the wish – a free teleportation over long distances.
......
Packed up and in full condition, Barrett once again stepped onto the disobedient pony and left Shamrock City to continue his adventure.
The destination of his trip was 'Angsa', also known as 'Giant's Eye'. It's a remote and unknown village in the middle of the lake, but it's also a treasure trove.
Barrett remembers a pact with the dwarf mage Theodore Shinkin to accompany the little mage to occupy an ownerless mage tower. This adventure may sound frightening at first glance, like an unreliable fire pit, but the dwarf mage Theodore Shining Gold has been preparing for decades. His state of confidence couldn't help but affect Barrett.
What's more, even if this is a fire pit, it is the barbarian himself who took the initiative to jump into it after being tempted by the word "treasure", and he must rely on others.
After several days of riding, Barrett finally reached the 'Giant's Lake' by the time agreed with the little mage, June 4, 687 in the magical calendar.
The barbarian sat in a basswood boat of the enthusiastic villagers and set foot on this simple little village again.
When Barrett arrived at the village, the dwarf mage Theodore Shining Gold was teaching the village children to write the lingua franca with charcoal and a wooden plank, and a slight smile appeared on the dwarf mage's serious face when he arrived.
"You're finally here, big man. He took out some almond nougat from his spatial ring and distributed it to the group of children around him who were about the same size as him, "Let's play, if you love to learn, you can be as good as candy." He shook his head.
The dark-skinned children of the village had candy in their hands and were happily scattered. A little girl with pigtails was running when she accidentally fell on her head, and the candy in her hand fell to the ground, stained with dust and sand.
The little girl got up and cried, and a little boy next to her walked over, gave his candy to the little girl, and picked up the dirty candy on the ground, patted the dust on it with his little hand, and smiled at the little girl.
The two children held hands and left.
"I thought you weren't going to come back because you were scared. The dwarf mage walked towards the barbarian with his staff in hand, "It seems that you have a good time, and in three days, it will be the time for the treasure to open." ”
"Scared? You underestimate the appeal of the word 'treasure' to adventurers. Barrett smiled, "I'm just afraid that the magic tower you're looking for will be empty, nothing, so empty that it will make us happy." ”
"Hmph, there's nothing in a magic tower of a powerful mage who is about to become a legendary? The little mage stroked his beard and said, "There must be more items in it than you can imagine, but they must be distributed according to our previous agreement." ”
"That couldn't be better. Barry nodded.
"Oh, by the way, we have another partner besides you and me on this adventure. The dwarf mage said, "A very good companion." ”
