Chapter XXXVII

"Be sober! Now is not the time to sacrifice anyone! What's more, even if you don't abandon us at that time, we won't give up on you either! This is something that we face together as a whole, and we don't need you to shoulder all the responsibilities yourself!"

Leon's sudden outburst made Caterina completely stunned, but the slap didn't hurt much.

"You're ......," Caterina quivered, her lips trembling.

Li Ang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the knight girl would burst out with the so-called sacrificial spirit, and then suddenly run out on an impulse to fight the monster, and in terms of strength, he couldn't stop himself and Sophia from tying him together, so he quickly slapped her stupid first, and then added the stimulation of the language, it seems that it should work.

He admired Katerina's sacrifice for others, and to be honest, he thought he would never be able to do it. But it wasn't necessarily a desperate situation now, and most of all, when the fire was at its peak, he saw a door not far away, and if Sophia was right, it should be the entrance to the cellar.

"You ......," Caterina said again.

She'd finally figured it out, Leon guessed.

"You...... How dare you hit me in the face!" The knight girl franted.

"Huh?" Li Ang was stunned, what he said just now was in vain? Could it be that this woman only noticed the slap and didn't hear the rest of the words!

"I'll pay it back later!" said Caterina through gritted teeth, but she didn't mention the rush out, and when she turned her face away angrily, no one noticed the tears that were in her eyes.

She could feel the concern and worry implicit in Leon's words, and since her father's death, it seemed that no one had disciplined her in such a tone, except, of course, the disgusting relatives. Since the funeral, Caterina has taken everything in the family on herself in order not to worry her grieving mother, and since then she has become stronger and stronger, but her heart has also become heavier and heavier.

However, this slap made her heart feel a little more relaxed.

Although Leon didn't notice Katarina's reaction, no matter what, the crisis of the female knight's "suicide" was resolved, and he suddenly felt relaxed and told what he had just discovered.

He had a hunch that behind that gate must be the real cellar of the monastery, and in this kind of warehouse-like place, if there were any "treasures", it was likely that some magical items would be stored. But whatever it is, it can always bring some opportunities to the team that is now in trouble, and maybe there will be another way to escape, isn't it a double thing?

To get to the gate, you have to pass through a horde of carrion monsters, Leon carried Jeff again and said, "Sophia, can you still put a blessing spell?"

Sophia nodded affirmatively, and Leon continued, "Alright, let's start now, and then Katerina you open the way, and follow the fire that has not yet been extinguished, there is a door on the other side, which should lead to the cellar." ”

Caterina followed the prestige, the oil had burned out, and the front was once again plunged into darkness and could not see anything, but she did not hesitate, raised her short sword and rushed in the direction of Leon's finger.

As soon as Leon waited for Sophia's magic to finish, he took the scepter in her hand as a temporary weapon, waved it and followed behind, and reminded the priest girl from time to time that she must follow her.

The flames had lost a lot of momentum after incinerating a dozen carrions, and more carrions began to crowd around the flames, and several people took advantage of the fact that they had not yet closed, and rushed left and right through the gap in the middle.

After rushing through this area, the light suddenly dimmed, and only the light of the torches could be relied on, and the voice of Caterina rushing forward came from the darkness, "Sue me in the direction!"

Light was of little use to Leon in the darkness, and the torch in his hand came out of his hand, cutting an arc through the air, illuminating the last dozen or so carrions along the way, and then falling to the ground in the distance, outlining a nearby wooden arch.

Hope is in sight, Caterina puffs up her last body and launches a "assault", her purpose is not to kill but to try to knock away the enemies along the way, and open up a path for the three people behind.

But she was so tired that she was the only one who hadn't rested from beginning to end, and she had continuously cast the "Holy Strike Technique" many times in a row, and this time the combat technique only reached half of the expected effect.

Although these monsters are only mid-level strength of the first order, and they have no sanity and are slow to move, their strength is not small, and the strength of their bodies also exceeds the current level, so they neutralize most of Katarina's impact and finally have to stop.

Immediately, a pair of flesh-and-blood arms reached out and grabbed the knight girl's shoulders, and the pincer-like fingers almost crushed the bones, and Caterina slashed the short sword into the opponent's arm, but it was stuck in the middle.

"Let it go!" Leon's calm voice came from behind.

Caterina immediately let go, and a scepter swept over and smashed accurately on the joint, smashing the rotting corpse's arm open, and then Leon did not give up another heavy split, the wooden scepter broke in two on the opponent's forehead, and the rotting corpse's head also tilted behind at a strange angle.

"Damn! When did my strength become so great...... "Leon couldn't help but froze for half a second when he saw the consequences of his own cause.

However, unless the soul fire in the body of the carrion monster is eliminated, this Cheng DΓΉ's attack will not cause any substantial damage, seeing that it still has the ability to move, Li Ang pushed Caterina forward and said, "Quick, we will succeed immediately!"

Then he carried Jeff on his shoulder, pulled Sophia, and galloped all the way with a momentum that charged towards victory.

"Leap", Caterina did not pause at all, and crashed into the wooden door with the help of the firelight, fortunately the wooden door was rotten and loose, otherwise the rebound force would have made the knight girl feel enough.

Leon threw Jeff on his shoulder into it, dodging Sophia to GuΓ², then he turned around and picked up the torch on the ground, slowly stepping back as he watched.

The carrion staggered over and gathered outside the wooden door, the hundreds of which were terrifying, but despite their roaring, tentative, and angry, none of them passed through the wooden door, as if there was something faintly inside them that frightened them.

"Huh......" Li Ang let out a sigh of relief, sure enough, this move was right, but although it was dangerous just now, there were 632 experience points in the account, in addition to dozens of carrion monsters, there were also vampire bats killed by spiders, which was definitely an unexpected gain.

The experience value of a level 9 adventurer is already 1274/2560, and it seems that it is possible to upgrade to level 10 here...... Leon looked at the carrion outside, as if he saw the beating experience points.

However, the dull chiseling sound in the distance is still a problem, and it is estimated that the giant spider still has not given up these "tender food".

"Let's go, it's safe for now," Leon put aside his seemingly unrealistic fantasies, raised his torch and looked at the terrain, it was a circular room, and there were several cabinets against the wall for placing items, but the doors were wide open and empty.

The same is true of the next room, where it seems that the monastery was in some kind of danger, and everything that had been placed here was hastily taken.

Is there really nothing? One room after another is about the same situation, and Li Ang is a little depressed.

"Not every site of the predecessors will be rewarded," Caterina said sullenly, "and many of them may have been taken away by their previous owners, or have been explored by many adventurers over a long period of time, so don't get your hopes up." ”

There were fixed lamp holders on the walls along the way, and some of them still had the residue of fire oil that had condensed into black residue, and Leon lit them one by one with torches to make the passages in the cellar gradually brighter. You can clearly see that further ahead is a dead end, leaving only the end and three rooms on the left and right.

"There shouldn't be any danger here, let's take care of one each," Leon said as he walked to the room on the left.

This room is not big, standing at the door can see the situation inside at a glance, obviously there is nothing worth paying attention to, Leon is unwilling to grope around, and finally gave up this move.

"After two lives, is my luck still so dark? If the former members of the group knew about it, they would have to be laughing stock," he was so helpless that he could only walk out empty-handed.

He was the first to come out, and the other two rooms were still silent, and Leon walked directly to the opposite room, only to find Caterina coming out of it.

The knight girl was holding a long sword in her hand, and she was wiping it with her sleeve with care, her expression was focused, and she didn't notice that Li Ang was in front of her for a while.

"This is ......," Leon said in surprise, "this is what you found?"

Could it be that this stubborn girl is so much more lucky than herself? What a blow......

Caterina found Leon in front of her, panicked for some reason, and then immediately handed over the long sword.

"It's on the weapon rack inside, I think it's right for you. ”

Leon didn't answer, "I lost your knight's sword in Locke Town, I can't help it, you can keep this sword, don't forget that we have to go through a battle when we go out." ”

Caterina struggled for at least ten seconds, and finally withdrew her long sword, which was cherished and hung at her waist.

Li Ang secretly thought it was funny, but it also aroused his curiosity and asked, "This sword is good?"

Caterina blushed, "Well, I feel a hint of magic fluctuating in it, and the exact effect will have to be determined by a mage or craftsman." ”

Magic items? Li Ang suddenly realized that although magic items in this world are very common, they should not be able to afford them based on the assets of the knight girl, and it is estimated that this is the first magic weapon she has.

"If you don't appraise it, it won't work, right?" asked Leon.

His words are not entirely true, magic weapons can be used directly, and the additional damage enhancement effect can take effect normally even if you don't know it, but if you have special abilities, you can't use it if you don't know how to activate or command, which is equivalent to pulling the item down several levels.

Of course, there is a stupid way to use it if you want to exert special abilities without identification, that is, after a long period of identification, including trying hundreds of activation methods and instructions in several categories, and if you are unlucky, it is very likely that the magic items will be damaged, and the repair cost can be equivalent to dozens of times that of someone to appraise it, and the gains outweigh the losses.

In addition, there are some restrictions on the use of special abilities, such as magic items that have a constant spell, and if you want to activate a spell, you must at least have a magic apprentice with the power of the secret method, and the one who has a constant magic is the probationary priest, of course, there will be some special exceptions, but this is not something that Caterina can explain.

After explaining, Li Ang figured it out, but at the same time, he thought that the reason why the knight girl didn't dare to identify it lightly was because she was afraid that she would not be able to repair it if she broke it......

"Show it to me," Leon said, eager to see the magic weapons that often appear in novels and games.

The long sword was not as heavy as expected, the grip was warm and dry, the blade was wide and thin, and it looked very sharp, and there was indeed a ripple emanating from the blade.

He turned his weapon sideways, and a small line appeared in front of him on the hilt, "Anger not only attacks the enemy, but sometimes hurts himself" - Lar Folton.

He couldn't help but secretly think, "This should be a good magic weapon, and I don't know when I will see those sophisticated or even epic legend-level equipment, but if you have to find someone to identify something similar every time, it will be really troublesome." ”

Suddenly, a thought came to me, will my "scrutinizing" skill work?

"Scrutiny," he tried to meditate.

The green font arrived as expected, appearing near the sword in view.

"Type: Intermediate Magic Item (One-Handed Sword/Delicate Weapon/Sharp)

Name: Fire of Wrath

Damage: 7-11

Effect: Fire enchantment, which adds 2-3 fire damage when activated.

Very low chance that the wielder will fall into a state of rage, increasing fire damage by 10% and taking 5% fire reflection damage"
