The Tooth King looked at the fangs of the hound that Roque was carrying on his shoulder.

Swallowed silently.

This large curved sword with a slightly undulating wavy blade is the weapon of the Hound Knight.

How good, my name is the Tooth King, and you call the Hound Tooth, how well we match......

The Tooth King subconsciously stretched out his hand—and then slammed into a spirit.

Because Roque had already looked at him.

"You want?" Roque asked.

Kind of a thought......

The Tooth King instinctively wanted to nod.

But then I thought it was impossible, the hound tusks were one of the best equipment that could be obtained at the moment, how could it be given to others with one mouth......

Can...... In the Church of Aire before, the other party did invite the people present to upgrade with him, could it be that this guy is real?

The tooth king licked his lips and wanted to say 111 brother, did you really send it?

"Yes, brother......" The Tooth King's voice was a little hoarse.

"Then keep thinking."

Roque turned his head.

Okay, good, the tooth king gritted his teeth.

"You don't understand." Roque's voice came again: "The better your equipment, the more you dare to fight monsters, and the more you dare to fight monsters, the easier it is to die." ”

"So I'm doing it for your own good."

"Insightful, man." The friend of the tooth king suddenly slapped his thigh and called him a genius!

I'm unique! The Tooth King's eyes widened in anger.

The Tooth King really wanted to write a "liar before, so there is no horse before" behind Roque's ass.

But he didn't dare.

Because he was no match for Roque's group, he could only watch the Hound Fangs get farther and farther away from him.

And the four of Roque passed by him straight by, like passing by a stone.

……

Lake Yakir Lake Blessing Point.

Several people and Argo, an intelligence merchant, sat at the blessing point to rest.

"You actually defeated the Hound Rider?" Argo still feels a little incredible.

"It's just a fluke." Roque slowly wiped down his weapon.

Argo was very excited: "This is big news, I must sell it, it is estimated that many people will look for you by then!" ”

Roque looked up suddenly.

“…… Of course, I won't sell it without your consent. Argo smiled.

"You can sell it, but you have to exchange it for information." Roque's movements to maintain his weapon paused slightly: "I want to know all the information about the arena you mentioned earlier. ”

"Arena ......" Argo hesitated.

This information was one of the few pieces she didn't really want to spread.

"Shall I exchange other information for it?" Argo tries to get by.

"No, you may not know more information than I do."

Huh! I can't get used to hearing you.

This is simply a provocation to an intelligence businessman!

Argo crossed his waist and puffed out his eyes to look at Roque's Hound Fangs, then swallowed his breath into his stomach again.

"Okay......" she was a little helpless, "but don't spread the word." ”

"The reward for winning in the arena is life, and access to the round table hall."

The so-called life means that there is one more life.

The effect of this reward is simple and easy to understand.

Every time you win in the Arena, you get an extra life, and as long as you win enough in the Arena, the Fading One can be resurrected like the games in Roque's previous life.

Although it is difficult to resurrect in a souls-based game, it is a little easier than clearing the level with one life.

As for the round table hall...... It's one of the few safe places in the borderlands.

The main thing is that there are blacksmiths there, and this is important.

The current player enhancement has basically reached the upper limit, and if you want to further strengthen your weapons, you can only find the blacksmith NPC in the game.

These two rewards hit the pain point.

Whether you want to go to the round table in the safe zone to survive, or you want to continue to get stronger, or you want to protect your life......

You have to go to the arena and fight for it......

Argo's words silenced the crowd for a moment.

But soon everyone returned to their normal mentality, anyway, the world is already rotten, it doesn't matter.

"I'm going to be separated from everyone for a while." Roque, wiping his weapon, suddenly said again after Argo finished speaking.

This time Kirito they were really silent.

The previous trip to the fog forest made Roque feel that his strength improvement speed was too slow, so he had to speed up the progress.

And in order to speed up the progress, you naturally have to take some risks, which is not suitable for taking Kirito with them.

Roque: "I know of a trap chest that can take me across the map to Galied, where I'm going to get some equipment and magic. ”

Argo's eyes widened instantly.

Suddenly looked at Roque.

She had just gathered this information, and Roque already knew about it.

"Wouldn't it be better for everyone to go together?" Kirito was puzzled.

"No, no!" Argo tried to stop him: "Galid is very dangerous there, I know someone has been teleported there by mistake, there are poison pools all over there!" ”

Poison pool?

Klein's face changed, and he remembered the poison pool in the drifting graveyard, where he had a useless person chosen by a friend who died in the poison pool at the beginning......

"No...... It's not a poison pool, it's a scarlet corruption, which is more terrible than a poison pool. If it were a poison pool, I wouldn't be separated from you......" Roque himself found it tricky.

Galid is full of scarlet corruption, and even the Fading One can't survive there, it's too dangerous, and Roke doesn't have the confidence to break through with Kirito and the others.

"But ......" Kirito frowned, he felt that it was enough to play steady, there was no need to take such risks.

"We're running out of time." Roque raised his head and looked at Kirito: "How long do you think our real body can last?" ”

"Two years or three years?"

It is impossible for them to live here for the rest of their lives, and in reality, their bodies are still in the hospital and are being taken care of like a vegetative person, so every day here is a countdown.

Roque's words were like a wake-up call, instantly waking up the other three.

During the time they spent with Roque, from the Church of Aire to the Fog Forest, and back to Lake Yakir, the relaxed atmosphere of several people along the way even made them forget about it, which has always been a deadly game.

"No, I'm with you." It was Klein who spoke, and he was really not at ease.

He has a psychological shadow on the combination of Poison Pool and Friends.

"It's fine if Kirito wants to join me, but you can't, Klein." Roque showed no mercy.

Klein is a bit self-destructive, and if he gets to Scarlet Corruption, this guy will start fantasizing about self-sacrifice to save his teammates again.

Roquet pointed to Lake Yakir to the north.

"Klein, do you see Lake Yakir to the north?"

"Underneath the ruins over there, there's an old man named Bloodfinger Hunter Yura, who is good at using a sword, and his weapon is a fanged sword, you can learn from him."

Klein was silent.

Argo, the intelligence merchant on the side, was stunned, as if he had seen it......

"As for Asuna, you can stop by with me later, I will go to the hillside I just passed by and get the [Royal Scroll] first."

Roc remembers a corpse on the hill west of Lake Yakir, with a royal scroll next to it.

The royal scroll records two magics, the [Kalia Swift Sword] and the [Hui Sword Circle], which must be learned.

Asuna also needs to learn magic.

There is still such information!

Argo was ecstatic and wanted to write it down, but as soon as she thought about it, she thought that Roque would take the scroll later, and even if she wrote it down, it would be useless for her to write it down.

"As for Kirito......" Roque looked at Kirito.

"I can go to the rundown house of the Warriors on the south side of the arena...... There's an NPC there who teaches combat skills named Bernal, and I can ask him to learn combat skills. Kirito motioned not to take care of himself.

Kirto continued: "And Roque, the Stormfoot Battle Ash you got earlier may not need to be used by a blacksmith on the weapon, but only need to be given to Bernal, and he may be able to teach you directly." ”

Argo nodded on the side, she knew this information, after the open beta, the NPC intelligence was higher......

Indeed, you can directly hand over the ashes to Bernal, and the other party will teach the player combat skills.

"Really?" Roque hesitated a little: "I originally wanted you to go to the Weeping Peninsula to level up, the monster level over there is very suitable for us, and there are a few good weapons over there." ”

"I remember the big sword called the Great Sword, and the sword skeleton Great Sword were all in that place."

Argo's eyes lit up, and he quickly began to take notes again.

But then she began to regret it again, because it was useless to write it down.

Argo remembered that the road to the Weeping Peninsula was guarded by soldiers, and that these two weapons still needed to be obtained by themselves, otherwise they would not be able to get their hands on them.

This is also the status quo of the faded, if you want to get a good weapon, you have to win a strong enemy, and if you want to win a strong enemy, you need a good weapon, and the cycle is endless.

"You have so many arrangements for us...... What about you? Kirito asked suddenly.

"How do you solve the problem of Crimson Corruption?"

Roque hesitated and looked at Argo.

Argo immediately waved his hand, "I'm a friend of Kirito, don't worry!" We intelligence merchants are also disciplined. Some information is never sold. ”

She really wanted to hear it.

The most natural driving force to become an intelligence merchant is a gossip heart.

Roque: "I know there's a path that can go past Stonevale without challenging Greck, and you'll get to the next map point: Lienia of the Lake." ”

Argo: !!

"I, I, I...... I heard you right! ”

Is there still such a hidden road?

In Elden Ring, if you want to become the king of Elden, you have to collect the Great Rune.

And every big lune is guarded by powerful people, and Grenker is the weaker one among them.

It's also the first one the player encounters, well, it should be said that the second big boss.

The first one is the incarnation of the evil omen demon, which is actually even more fierce than Greck, and the closed beta players are basically stuck here.

A small Stonewell city can be said to have assembled two early bosses, as well as a bunch of level creeps, to firmly control the faders in the initial land of Nimgerfo.

If you can bypass Stonevale......

That's amazing!

Argo was so excited that she immediately stood up and said to Roque, "Please! Please take me on the road! ”

She can see it, I'm afraid that Roque is a very high-progress closed beta player, and he knows a lot of information.

Argo wanted to walk the hidden path with Roque.

"No, who are you sending it?" Roque refused at the speed of light.

"Just let me be with you...... You can do whatever you want me to do! Argo was teary-eyed.

"Then go and get the graft Greck off for me."

Argo: "......"

"Please, except for this...... Let me do whatever I want! ”

Asuna on the side frowned, and Kirito dragged her down directly with a displeased face.

We're going to be separated, and you still want to join in the fun.

Kirito covered Argo's mouth as he was shouting: once in a lifetime request. Motioned for Roque to continue.

This operation is too risky, if Roque is not completely sure, then everyone must go on the road together, so that there is still a care on the road.

Roque: "In Lienia of the Lake, there is a prayer called: [Healing of Fire], which has the effect of healing abnormal states. ”

"Whether it's poisoning or the accumulation of scarlet corruption, it can be eliminated by this prayer."

Klein's face finally relaxed when he heard that it could eliminate the poisoning.

"I'm not going to part with you right away." Roque explained his plan to Kirito and the others.

Get the royal scroll with Asuna first, and then find Mr. Serene to learn magic.

After that, he went all the way north to the Warrior Broken House, and together with Kirito, he went to Benard to learn combat skills.

Finally, go to Lienia in the Lake, get the Fire Prayer, and then teleport back here, go to the ruins of Lake Aquil and use the teleportation chest to quickly reach Gailid.

"Sounds pretty reliable." Kirito nodded slightly.

"What exactly is the weapon you are going to take at such a big risk?" Argo could not contain his curiosity, and then immediately vowed: "I swear by my chastity that I will never reveal it." ”

"It's just a staff and a spell."

"Staff?"

"Well, the staff that adds S, the Meteorite Staff." Roque said.

Bonus S?

Argo and Kirito's eyes widened at the same time.

Nowadays, weapons are generally bonus D, and only when they are strengthened to the highest level, such as to twenty-five, can they be strengthened to become S's staffs......

How could there be such a strong staff in the early stage?

It's not pure disruption of the game's balance...... Oh! This game doesn't seem to be very balanced.

"It's a staff that can't be strengthened, and although it's a bonus S at the beginning, there's no way to get stronger."

If he could, Roque wanted to play it safe, but he had to take the Meteorite Staff first.

This stuff is so easy to use in the early stages.

His talent also has a bonus to magic, so it must be developed in all aspects, and even prayer will have to be learned when the time comes.

"There's no way to strengthen it......"

Kirito understands a little.,This probably belongs to the god costume of the early and middle period.。

In the early stage, you can basically make a smooth transition.

Kirito breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you've already decided, you don't need to ask us......"

He is like a wife who feels helpless when she sees her husband going out to work.

I hope my husband succeeds, and I hope he can come home safely.
