Chapter Twenty-Four: The Dungeon Master
Worried about the deception, Downton didn't let the two meat shields dodge, and continued to stab the knight gun a few times until the black blood spider completely lost his breath, and then stopped.
"Dead!"
As Homer projected the text, a wisp of crimson soul remains was pulled out of the black blood spider's body and sucked into the tome.
The crisis was lifted, and Downton sat on the ground, snorting and panting, and the exhaustion of his magic energy and physical strength was like a tidal wave, hitting his nerves, like clockwork twisted to the limit, making his whole body ache.
As soon as he took off his helmet, Downton took a few breaths greedily, and didn't care about the pool of blood and minced flesh on the floor, and simply lay on it with his limbs wide open.
Celes was also sweating profusely, and if it weren't for the magic diamond support that Downton gave her, the magic energy would have been exhausted long ago.
"In the future, we must prepare some potions that instantly replenish magic energy, and the magic stone is still too slow. Downton summed up the combat experience.
Absorbing the magic energy in the magic stone requires resonance and guidance with soul power, which is not only distracting, but also too slow, which is taboo in battle.
"It's just to kill a low-level black-blooded spider, it's actually going to be so hard, you have to practice!" Homer projected the text, scolding Downton.
This is a black-blooded spider whose strength is about the peak of the third order of the soul, if Downton knows the truth, he will be so complacent that he will not want to make progress, Homer will never allow this kind of thing to happen, but for his performance, he is still very satisfied in his heart.
"My number two!"
Downton didn't even read Homer's words, because after fighting for so many days, Ghoul No. 2 finally reached his limit, and his body could no longer support the heavy armor, and he fell to the ground in one fell swoop.
"No, No. 2 has many broken bones, let's get a new one!" Homer released his soul eye and meticulously scanned the ghoul's state.
Downton helped No. 2 take off his armor and saw that some parts of the bones were pierced with flesh, most of the tendons were torn, and the whole body was deformed.
It is worthy of being the most cost-effective cannon fodder, as long as the head is not damaged, it will always fight, but the body damage is too serious, and it will also affect the combat effectiveness, after all, no one will be stupid enough to be bitten to death by a ghoul who can't move.
Although the fine-grade armor in the weapon shop is rusty and ugly due to the lack of maintenance for a long time, the defense power has not been reduced too much except that it cannot activate the special effect.
Compared to ordinary equipment, they are still of higher quality, and if they are brought back to Morning Mist Town, there will definitely be down-and-out mercenaries rushing to buy them.
In the past ten days, No. 2 and No. 3 have worn out more than ten sets of this armor alone, which is simply better than the treatment of mercenaries in some small adventure groups.
"When you have money in the future, buy an excellent level armor for the ghoul servant, it will definitely be as resistant as a turtle shell!"
Downton remembered the fearless charges and slots of No. 2 and No. 3, and if they had a large group, they would be so fierce that they would explode.
"It was so dangerous just now!" Celes floated over, and after her heart palpitated, she became excited again, "Is this a fight in a state of death at any time? It's too exciting!"
"She's not going to be a battle maniac, is she?"
Downton was a little envious of Celence, who was born a magical race, and under Homer's teaching, the speed at which she learned magic was incredible.
If two people face off, Celes can use kite flying tactics to kill Downton, who doesn't have any long-range attack means.
Of course, Celes certainly doesn't have that kind of combat IQ right now, and Downton won't be stupid enough to chase her and slash, he will choose the tactics that suit him.
"Celeste's qualifications and talents are good, as long as she works hard enough, she can definitely become a death banshee who is famous in the continent!" Homer sighed, if Celes was born in the realm of the undead, she would definitely be a seed to be cultivated.
"Harvest the spoils!" Regaining some strength, Downton jumped to his feet, sliced open the body of the black-blooded spider, and dug out the core.
"Huh, don't kill Two?" Homer was puzzled.
"Forget it, it's been with me for so long, I can't bear to extract its soul remnants again. Downton asked Celex to fetch ink and quills and write explanations in the Grimoire.
"The undead confession can't be lifted, if it doesn't die, you'll have one less servant!" Homer was noncommittal about Downton's decision.
"Alright, then kill, don't drain the soul!" Downton walked over to Two, his sword dropping, shattering its brain, "May your soul go to Heaven and rest in eternal peace!"
"In fact, for the millions of undead in this dungeon, death is a relief!" Homer sighed.
"This monster is very strong, it should be worth a lot of souls, right?" Downton finally remembered to get down to business, "I still have almost no sacrifice?"
"It's been paid off!"
"So fast?" Downton was stunned, the answer was somewhat unexpected.
"In the past ten days, you have almost nothing but meditation and fighting, and you have little time to eat and sleep, and these hard work and sweat will not be in vain. Homer complimented Downton once.
"Suddenly I feel a lot more relaxed, and I am really debt-free and light!" Downton couldn't help but laugh, "What next?" by the way, open up the war space and take all the wealth here. ”
"Are you a lowly goblin who eats and waits until he dies, and a piece of rancid bread will satisfy you?" Homer was so angry, "Don't you want to sit on the whole dungeon?"
"Huh?" Downton retorted, "I'm not that greedy!"
"It's not greed, it's a goal that a man should have, do you want to be a commoner for the rest of your life?"
Downton didn't speak, but clenched his fists tightly, what boy didn't aspire to be a hero in his childhood?
"There are nearly a million undead in this dungeon, which is a huge death crisis, but also an opportunity, if you kill them all and use the souls as sacrifices, any god will be so generous that you will be stunned. ”
"Powerful martial arts, magic, divine arts, legendary-level magic costumes, and even artifacts, only you can't think of them, and no god can't take them. ”
"Gold coins, famous paintings, precious stones, priceless works of art, they are lying there right now, waiting for you to get them, well, even the most ordinary ceramics in this grocery store, brought back to the Western Earth Continent, are antiques, and they can be sold for a few hundred gold coins casually. ”
"Rare things are expensive, and more is worthless. "Downton is not stupid," and besides, there are not too many people who like to collect. ”
"You're a bit of a pursuit, aren't you? Look at that magnificent castle in the center of the city, it must be the mansion of a hereditary duke, what do you think of his collection? And the coffers of those nobles' homes, enough to squander you for ten lifetimes. ”
"Most aristocrats like to buy one or two paintings by famous masters and hang them on the wall to show their taste, and once you've searched the dungeons, you can hang them all over the mansion. ”
"A lot, a lot of paintings!" said Serex, who wandered around when she was bored and saw too many paintings.
"See that magic tower?"
"Hmm!" Downton looked up and looked to the north, where there was a towering mage tower, with great visual tension, like a sharp blade piercing the sky.
"The value of a mage tower, I don't say you know it!" "Homer followed the temptation, "Looking at its scale, the strength of the owner definitely surpasses that of the dragon slaying rank. ”
"Do you think I'm dying fast enough? The Mage Tower is the mage's shelter and Zuihou's fortress, which is not full of mechanisms, without the permission of the master, I'll wait to be killed by the defensive magic array!"
Although he complained, Downton knew that Homer was right, among the ancient ruins that made those adventurers flock to it, the Mage Tower, the King's Castle, the Academy of Magic, etc., were the most valuable places, and they were also the most fiercely contested places.
"Aside from these, just as the news of the five-fold concentration of magic energy here spreads, even those dragon slaying level powerhouses will be tempted, and they will rush to snatch and monopolize it, you must know that as long as you live here, your cultivation will get twice the result with half the effort, and if it is me, you will definitely not share it with others. ”
Homer felt that Downton was missing a domineering spirit to defend his territory, but it didn't matter, he was still young, and he could cultivate it slowly.
"I won't share it with anyone else, let alone the Robinson trio trying to kill me!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and meditate, continue to hunt ghouls, hone your martial arts, improve your strength, and kill them as soon as possible. Homer urged, "If you delay for one more second, they will absorb one more magical energy and grab one more soul!"
"Rush, rush, rush!"
Downton jumped up, raised his arms and shouted, with Robinson's careful calculation, how could he not carry the soul stone with him, as long as he collected enough souls, he could also go to the God of War altar to sacrifice and obtain powerful martial arts.
"Rush, rush, rush!"
Celes followed Downton, chanting as he did, and the girl could see that Downton seemed to be interested in living in the dungeon, which made her happy, "I will never be lonely again." ”
In this dungeon that seems to be dead, even if there is a faint glow of fluorescent moss, it still looks dull and unchanging, except for when he is hungry, Downton can't feel the passage of time at all.
Another ten-day penance, eating spider meat and drinking ghost honey, far more nutritious than nibbling on black bread, Downton grew a little taller and stronger, and was no longer as thin as before.
With the continuous practice of the Holy Angel Statue Meditation Method, the soul seed has now grown to the size of a mung bean, and the stored magic energy has increased, so that Downton will not release a few divine spells and empty the demon.
"I want to go back!" Downton slashed down a low-level ghoul, taking advantage of the rest time to discuss with Homer.
"I really want to go back. Homer agreed, "You can't always eat spider meat, and ghost honey is limited, and while Serex doesn't care, you should save it." ”
"Food, water, magic stones, potions, in short, I need a lot of supplies. "Downton already has a complete jihua.
In the past ten days, Downton has accumulated a lot of soul remains, but they were not used for sacrifice in exchange for divine magic, but all of them were devoured by the Magic Book, in order to open up the war space and carry supplies.
