Chapter 21: Cobwebs (1)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the illusion, Link trains methodically according to the plan he has made.
Fly to the northern borders of the Guardian in the morning to cleanse the undead, train in swordsmanship and archery at noon, and rent the town's handicraft workshop in the evening to practice blacksmithing and handcrafting. Although Yuan Ye shouted that he was bored, he didn't dare to leave the safe human town because of his hospitalization, so he could only spend all his time on the alchemy profession, and all the money he saved for the task was spent in a few days, so he had to borrow it from Link cheekily.
Relying on the little experience gained from constantly purifying the undead, Link finally rose to LV4 at the end of the one-month novice period, and now no matter how many undead he purified, no golden fragment of experience flew into his body, Yuan Ye's explanation was that he had left the category of novices.
After careful consideration, Link chose Isol's attack skills, [Petrification] and [Earth Spear]. It's a pity that there are only two spell slots for each upgrade, and if you collect three attack abilities, you can get [Vine Entanglement], which is not used but a passive skill, and there is a certain chance that plant roots will emerge from the ground and entangle the enemy. Link is interested in not wasting spell slots, but there are advantages and disadvantages, as this passive aura can only be used in the wild, and will not move in human buildings or places where there are no plants.
There is no feeling in the illusion, but on the computer interface in reality, the archery skills of the sub-talent appear [Fast Shooting] and [Precision Shooting] two skills. The former is the result of a month of practice, improving the degree of drawing arrows from quiver to shooting. The latter needs to be used in conjunction with the Divine Skill [Precision] of the Child of Nature, and the effect is that one of the two arrows must hit, which is equivalent to a 5o% hit rate, which is extremely high. If you use Eagle Eye again, you can shoot almost anywhere you want.
Swordsmanship is the three moves that Qian learned, [Sweep], [Vertical Split], and [Thrust]. Link also considered that there was a skill at each level, but the number of archery and swordsmanship skills was different and overturned his guess, and after being promoted to LV4, he ran to find a swordsmanship instructor, but the other party directly said that the basic swordsmanship was a good one, and he wanted to learn more advanced ones and go to the big city.
The Druids stationed in Riverdale received orders from Hull to set off for Aiden to investigate Lord Sherman, who seems to be in secret with the undead, and the raid on the northern border has nothing to do with him.
When Yuan Ye, who was all gone, could finally come out, his body had fully recovered after ten days of cultivation.
"Flints, torches, tents, clean water, dry food......" Yuan Ye counted the contents of his bag one by one, and when he turned around, he saw Link talking in a low voice with an old man named Jafar.
"Hey~ Don't you have to prepare something?"
"It's all set. Link patted the slap-sized cloth bag on his waist.
Yuan Ye glanced at it and felt a little familiar, and then he screamed.
"The space bag on that necromancer!"
"Shut up, do you want to be known to everyone?" The distance was a little far, and Link couldn't cover Yuan Ye's mouth, so he could only glare at him fiercely.
Fortunately, in the grocery store, only the old man who pretended not to hear anything at this time, Yuan Ye's words that were enough to cause trouble did not cause a riot.
"Sorry, but it's a quick talk. Yuan Ye scratched his head and apologized. He couldn't help but glance at it a few more times, it's good, it's only been a few days since he came in, and he has magic items. I don't even have a weapon to do it so far. Fortunately, all the alchemy potions made in these days have been sold, and the skills have also increased by a few points, which can be regarded as making up for some losses.
"Okay, let's get on the road, it's up to you. "Link is the most annoying person who is grinding things, he was going to go on the road early today, but Yuan Ye was missing this for a while, and he was lacking that until noon.
"Excuse me...... Are you adventurers?"
A childish voice sounded from behind. Yuan Ye looked back and saw a boy in his early teens staring at him with a pair of winged eyes.
"Grandpa and I are going to Aiden, can we go with you? ”
Link had already sensed the kid who had entered the grocery store, and at first he thought he was here to buy something. He glanced at Jafar, and the druid didn't say anything, apparently following the arrangement.
"What do you say?" Yuan Ye was a man with no backbone, and he waited for Link to come up with an idea.
"It's safer to walk together, take them with you. "It's not a big crowd, especially if you're working with indigenous people. Although there is no clear evidence that Edgar is from another world, Link no longer uses NPCs to refer to the various characters in the fantasy world.
"Great, thank you. Grandpa~~" The boy practiced bowing and ran out of the grocery store with a loud shout.
"You have to be careful when you go to Aiden. When I was checking out, the shopkeeper suddenly said this.
Feeling that the old man would not warn for no reason, Link asked what was wrong.
"There have been undead haunts everywhere lately, and there have been several waves of travelers killed on the way to Aiden. ”
Link listened to it and remembered in his heart, there would be undead haunts in this place so close to the Pillars of Earth, no wonder Hull wanted me to investigate.
Outside the grocery store, stood the boy and his grandfather, who looked like ordinary people, saying that they were going to Aiden to join relatives, and they wanted to go with adventurers because they were afraid of rumors of the undead, but unfortunately they were dismissed after asking a few waves.
In the eyes of this grandson, the three of Link are standard adventurers, the Altyn warrior with a long sword at his waist, the ranger who is a little older, and the bard who carries a mandolin on his shoulder.
Five people exited the east gate and walked along the avenue in a northeasterly direction.
On the road, everyone walked with their heads bored, and Yuan Ye talked endlessly, one moment to tease the child, and the other time to deliberately pester Jafar, who never spoke much, or else he was humming and singing. Link finally knew why he chose the bard profession, and he was born to nag!
When it was dark, the group found a small forest near the avenue to rest, the boy obediently picked up branches to help his grandfather build a bonfire, and everyone sat around to eat their own dry food, and the old man asked Link if he wanted to go to Aiden to enlist as a mercenary, and he nodded vaguely.
There was not only a message from Hull, but also a silver pendant, and the shape of a spider web was very strange. Jafar explained that this is the symbol of the 'cobweb' of the largest intelligence agency of the Big 6, and carrying him with him indicates that he is a member of it.
"Hull asked me to disguise myself as a member of the Cobweb?" Link found it even more inconceivable that a self-asserted birdman would make him pretend to be a human intelligence organization.
"No, the cobwebs were created by the Natural Alliance in the early Silver Age, and although they were later completely controlled by humans, they have always maintained a good relationship with the Natural Alliance, and most of the members are Rangers and Altyns. Allowing you to pretend to be a member of the spider web is also a layer of invisible identity, and on the surface you are still a mercenary, so that even if someone checks it, they will only think that you are a spider web person. Aiden has a contact point with cobwebs, and whether it is cobwebs or mercenaries to go there, it will not arouse the suspicion of the lord. Jafar's explanation made Link suddenly realize, and secretly praised the birdman's carefulness.
Because they didn't have to sleep, Link and Yuan Ye, who were sleeping with their eyes closed, heard a strange sound coming from the avenue - as if dragging some kind of heavy object rubbing on the ground.
After glancing at each other, Link made a silent gesture, he drew his long sword, and went to check with the awakened Jafar, leaving Yuan Ye to take care of the grandfather and grandson.
Far away, Link smelled a familiar scent, and it was the undead again. After approaching, a small group of humans dressed as mountain people staggered in their direction like zombies in the movie.
"I've almost wiped out all the undead on the northern border, where did these come from?" After a month of training, Link was able to use the Healing of Nature to his weapons, purifying the undead like an enchantment without having to transform into an avatar. Those slashed by the sword burst open like rotting fruit, then dissipated into a white light as pus and blood splattered, leaving no evidence of any precedence except for the liquid and clothes remaining on the ground.
"It seems that it is not for nothing that the lords of Aden City are secretly dealing with the undead. Jafar stared in the direction the dead bodies had come.
"Wouldn't the source of the news be the cobweb?" Clearing the last corpse, Link suddenly had a strange feeling, always feeling that things would not be solved so lightly. He jerked his head back, and the campfire was out, not good!
Reflexively ran back, the camp was empty, leaving only some messy traces, the grass on the ground was frozen with a layer of hoarfrost, and Yuan Ye's mandolin fell to the ground, pointing east.
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain, don't ......," Link almost immediately denied the idea. If it's against him, why bother to lure him away.
Link is inspired, and the sign points to the east like a mandolin.
"Not the undead. Jafar crouched on the ground and sniffed, "It's an ogre." ”
"How could the creatures of the Kaogo Wasteland cross Dragonrock Castle and enter Inner 6?" Link had read of ogres in Big 6, who were blocked from the Orcs on the other side of Mount Horacio.
"The only possibility is for them to enter Inner 6 from Sword Blade Mountain, which is the Jianshan Mountain near the Great Rift. "Jafar became a black wolf. Time waits for no one, ogres are ferocious carnivorous creatures, and if they go too late, the lives of those three people are very likely to be lost.
Link didn't care if his identity would be revealed, and turned into a peregrine falcon and flew in the direction indicated by the Divine Revelation Dao Sign. Soon, he saw the ogre who had taken the three captive. There were only five of them, but in the distance, they were about to join them by a large group of orcs, at least fifty or more, sitting around the campfire.
Link landed on the ground and told Jafar what he had seen in the air.
"How can there be so many orcs?"
"Maybe it's a sneak attack on a human town. If that's the case, things are in trouble. Jafar reminded Link that the children of nature must not intervene in worldly disputes.
"At least get those three back. "Whether it's a game or a real thing, it's impossible for Link to sit back and watch Yuan Ye and the three of them being killed by the orcs.
"So, in what capacity are you going to rescue?"
The incarnation of the white deer is definitely not good, doesn't this make it clear that as a child of nature, you want to break the precepts?
Link clenched his lower lip.
