Chapter XVII
Ryan smiled slightly, and in Vivian and Goodak's puzzled eyes, he opened his mouth to speak: "Vivian, maybe you also know that in those shops that sell magical items, in order to sell the products they make can be sold at a good price, they will deliberately exaggerate the utility of a certain aspect, but this will either consume a lot of money, or it will be simply flashy. ”
"You are a warrior, you are good at using a sword and a shield, and the most important thing about you when you fight is that you have to be close to your opponent, otherwise you will not be able to play your role at all. That's why I've drawn magic arrays on every part of your armor to improve your own abilities, which won't make you feel much stronger all at once, but they can try to prevent your flaws from being caught by others. ”
"Let's talk about your bracers first, I drew a magic circle of 'Bull Power' on it, it can increase your arm strength, so when you swing it just now, you will feel that the speed becomes faster, because your strength has increased. But the increase is not very large, on the one hand, I don't want you to rely on this set of armor so much that you ignore the growth of your own strength, and on the other hand, if you blindly increase the effect of the magic array, you must inlay the power of the magic core gem. ”
"Speaking of the boots on your feet, the 'Fox Ministry' will make you more agile and more erratic, so that you will be more erratic and threatening in your attacks and movements. Well, the armor on your chest and back can be blessed with a 'Body Protector Skin' in an instant when you are attacked, it can reduce the impact damage you take, and the shoulder guards are not decorations, they can reduce the magic damage you take......"
Ryan talked endlessly about the efficacy of the entire set of armor to Vivien, and Vivian's eyebrows danced and she was excited, and after Ryan finished his explanation, because he saw Vivian's expression, he deliberately added a few words: "Vivian, after you wear this set of armor, your strength will be stronger than before, but I want to remind you that it is just the effect of external forces, not the result of your own efforts." And there is a limit to the extent of this improvement, for example, in the past, the three of you could hunt and kill a level 6 demonic beast, but now you can probably do it alone. ”
Ryan said this, his tone suddenly became stern, his eyes were fixed on Vivien, and the tone of his mouth became quite formal: "However, you have to understand that your own strength has not improved in any way, if you encounter a level 7 demonic beast, you should immediately avoid it! Don't have some kind of illusion because this set of armor is very helpful to you, thinking that you can't do anything, and the consequence is that you will die a miserable death!" If you can kill gods and demons by wearing a better set of armor, then you don't need to work hard to train yourself. ”
It was the first time Vivian had seen Ryan speak to herself in such a tone and demeanor, she was a little uncomfortable at first, but she soon understood Ryan's painstaking intentions, and in order to show that she fully understood what Ryan meant, she opened her mouth and replied, "Thank you for the reminder, I completely understand what you mean." No matter how good the armor is, we can't wear it all the time, and if we don't wear it when we are attacked, it will be terrible. ”
When Vivian said this, she suddenly remembered the night she met the poisonous scorpion lion beast, she looked at Ryan cautiously, and found that the other party's face was also a little uncomfortable, obviously Ryan also remembered the beautiful scenery of that night under Vivian's unintentional prompting.
"Ahem!" Ryan coughed a little, then said to Vivien in a rather formal tone, "We're going to be here for a day or two, so you have to work harder to get used to the situation when you put on this armor." And in the rest of the adventure, you'll have to learn what to do without this armor so you don't rely too heavily on it......"
"Got it, you're so long-winded!" Vivien glanced at Ryan and practiced in the courtyard with her sword and shield on her own, while Ryan turned to Goodak and said, "Are you welcome to visit your shop?"
They spent another two days in Goodak's shop, and only after Vivien had almost gotten used to her new armor did the two leave. For Goodak, he got enough benefits for Vivien to make this set of armor, a small bag of sparkling gold coins, and a lot of experience in crafting magic items, of course, as an old craftsman with decades of experience, Goodak didn't care about the origin of Ryan and Vivien, in fact, this is the biggest reason why Ryan found Goodak here to make a complete set of armor.
Vivian herself has a slightly curly blonde hair, and now she is wearing a set of reddish-brown leather armor, plus Vivian herself has a straightforward personality, and when she walks on the street, it really looks like a burning flame, causing countless pedestrians to stop and watch, and Vivian puffs up her chest proudly, not caring at all about the greedy eyes of men, and shows her charm to the fullest.
This made Ryan feel very uncomfortable, all along, he has been as far away from everyone's attention as possible, because Ryan believes in the concept of "keeping a low profile in peacetime and going all out in wartime", which is fundamentally incompatible with what Vivian did, especially now that Ryan still has the purpose of hiding his identity, when he follows Vivian, he faces the attention of others all the time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is walking on thin ice.
Ryan's unusual behavior made Vivien quickly notice, and the female warrior didn't ask much, but suddenly pulled Ryan into a grocery store that sold adventurers' supplies, and by the time they came out again, Vivien had already draped a gray trench coat over herself.
The wide trench coat not only concealed the new suit of armor, but also concealed Vivien's fiery figure, so that the two of them were less noticeable when walking down the street. Ryan was a little surprised by Vivian's move, he didn't expect that this female warrior who seemed to have a big personality also had a delicate side, and Ryan's good impression of Vivian had also increased significantly, a person who could think about her companions was worthy of the trust of her companions.
"Is this the place?" Ryan asked Vivien, pointing to a shop with a "crane" sign hanging on the door.
Vivien looked up and down for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "That's right, this is it." The man had said it twice at the time, and his shop had a crane sign, and there was only one such thing in the entire Paradise of Freedom. ”
"Now that we can be sure, let's go inside. Ryan said.
"Okay. "Vivien's performance is not like a captain at all, when she is with Ryan, she is more and more like an ordinary member, although Ryan rarely expresses his position, but as long as Ryan speaks, Vivian will definitely obey, and will definitely not have other opinions.
