Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Spoils of War?
The descendants of Baal have a wonderful ability: when a Baal heir dies, if there are other Bal heirs nearby, the divinity he inherited from his father will be plundered by the other Bal heirs - of course, it is better to kill people directly.
In this way, the god of killing, Baal, tried to kill his children against each other, and the only survivor of the slaughter would condense all his divinity, which meant that he would be resurrected in the body of this offspring.
In a more oriental way, it is called "snatching away".
Will this villain succeed in resurrecting in the future? If the resurrection succeeds, which heir's body will be invaded? These questions are relatively distant and do not belong to the scope that Pan Long needs to consider now.
Now the most important thing for them is that since Shalovok's share of Baal divinity has been divided equally between Chanem and Ammon, it means that this powerful bald guy is really dead.
So seeing this scene, Pan Long was relieved.
"It's okay. He said, "The light from this guy's body is very strange, but according to my experience, this kind of glow on the body after death is usually dead." ”
Amused by this, Ammon smiled and asked, "Have you ever seen someone who was beaten like this, burned again, and finally not even dead?"
Pan Long thought about it and decided to make one now.
He quickly found a suitable candidate for the exam, saying, "I haven't met it, but I saw it in the notes of a senior." ”
"Is there such a thing?!" even Chanem looked at him in surprise.
Pan Long sorted out his thoughts, considered the specific words, and then said, "My senior is a patrol leader. Once he saw a strong man being chased and killed with a woman and a child, and he stepped forward to help. Pursuing them was a strange young man, who looked polite, but his body could gather and disperse freely, whether it was a sword or a crossbow, no matter what it looked like, it could be restored. Even if it was burned into a puddle of water by the fire, it flowed out of the sea of fire, and then regrouped, changed back into human form, and continued to fight. ”
Imagined a puddle of water flowing out of the sea of fire, and then turning back into human form to continue the fight, not to mention Aemon, even Chanem and Grion had a little scalp tingling.
"What happened?" asked Aemon eagerly, "did they defeat the monster?"
Then they set a trap and blasted the monster into a melting pot. The monster struggled in the molten iron for a long time, but the melted body could not exert its strength, and finally fell silent. Pan Long said, "No one dared to use the molten iron, and after it was cooled along with the furnace, it was thrown into the sea." ”
The crowd was silent, and after a moment, Chanem exclaimed, "Fortunately, we didn't meet that monster!"
(I don't think you'll meet it unless you run to the world of the Terminator.) )
Pan Long secretly complained in his heart.
"Yes, it's terrible! Maybe it's still alive in the iron at the bottom of the sea, but its body can't coalesce, and it has to wait for the iron to perish—maybe it will be free when the iron is completely rusty in the water. Ammon said, shuddering, "Oh my God, what if it is free?"
(What should I do?) Shoot a new Terminator, it just so happens that the governor needs a new person...... )
After some small talk, everyone also recovered—mainly Glian, who was dizzy from overcasting, and Pan Long, who had a comminuted fracture of his right arm, and the two of them needed to rest. And they are precisely the most reliable force guarantee for this four-person adventure team.
At this time, the heavy rain had dissipated, and without the support of Grean's spells, this rainstorm that should not have existed came and gone faster, and the night sky was already clear, and there was not even a trace of clouds to be seen.
The view of the forest road in the moonlight is quite clear. At this moment, there was a quiet around, and if it weren't for the corpses everywhere, it would be impossible to tell that a big battle had just been experienced.
Grian asked Chanem to pack his luggage, and the horse had run away during the battle just now, so the carriage could only be thrown here. Everyone had to carry their luggage on their own and get to their destination.
Of course, the disabled Pan Long does not need to contribute, and he also got two unexpected gains.
The first takeaway is experience points.
[Your Adventure Squad defeats the interception of Shalofok, the son of Baal, and gains 8000 experience (2000*4).] 】
Eight thousand experience points is quite a lot, but if it is divided into four people on average, it is only two thousand each.
However, 2,000 experience points are enough for Chanem and Ammon to level up.
This level is not easy to come by. Shalofok's gang is very strong, and if it weren't for Pan Long's help to defeat the three groups of enemies, goblins, gnolls, and evil spirits, Grion would have wasted spells on them, and he would definitely not have enough spells to defeat Shalovok.
Not to mention, if it weren't for Pan Long buying enough time for Glian, Chanem and Ammon alone wouldn't have been able to help the old mage block the front. Without the spells he had prepared, Grion would have been killed in the first wave of Shalovok's raids, let alone persevered until he cast the "Greon's God-Killing Missile" to kill the mighty Son of Baal.
Victory or defeat, life and death, this is the key.
According to the plot, Grion, who fought alone, died at the hands of Shalofok, and only then did the Chanem siblings go through the adventure in order to track down the murderer.
Now that Grion has won and Shalovok is dead, no one knows what will happen next.
Pan Long didn't think about it that much, he was more curious about another thing - Chanem and Aemon should be able to level up, what will they look like when they level up?
He quietly paid attention, but didn't notice any "I've become stronger" meaning from the two of them. So he guessed that he might need to get a good night's sleep before the two of them would escalate in their sleep.
From level 1 to level 2, the difference is still obvious, and I believe that when they wake up, they will be ecstatic.
As for himself...... Two thousand XP is still far from leveling up, but if you keep saving, you can always save enough amount.
He had already decided that when he arrived in a certain town with Glian and the others, everyone would disperse. He goes out on adventures alone, looking for all kinds of demons and monsters to fight, or looking for various tasks to complete, in order to gain experience faster.
The second harvest is wealth.
While packing up, Aemon asked him, "Pan, don't you want your booty?"
"Spoils of war?" Pan Long looked at the battlefield suspiciously, "You said that those enemy weapons and armor don't seem to be very good except for the bald guy's set." And it's heavy......"
Aemon looked at him in surprise: "You have killed so many monsters, you can go to the nearby towns to receive the reward with something that can prove this merit! Every lord is willing to pay a reward for killing monsters, although the number of individual monsters is not much, but it adds up to more." ”
"The ogre's prize money is high. "But I don't know about ghosts, and I've never heard of a bounty for killing ghosts." ”
"They should be called 'evil spirits.'" "It's true that there are no lords bounty on them, but the ashes left over from the death of the evil spirits are good magical materials - unfortunately I summoned a heavy rain just now, and the ashes were scattered." However, ogres' heads and hands can be chopped off and taken away, and someone is willing to buy them. ”
"The head can be used as an ornament, placed at home to show martial prowess, what is the use of the hand?" asked Amon curiously.
Grian smiled slightly and said, "Some people think that when you peel off the skin of the ogre's hands and make leather, and then use this leather to make the 'Ogre Gauntlet', the success rate will be higher. ”
"Huh?" Chanem looked at him in surprise, "The gloves are made of ogre skin?"
He had seen such a pair of gloves from a traveling merchant that greatly strengthened the wearer. At that time, he wanted to buy it, but the price was too high to afford it.
Now that he knew where the glove came from, he was taken aback.
It's not that I feel disgusting to wear gloves made of monster leather, but I think it's ...... Peeling off the skin from the monster's hands and making gloves and wearing them on your own hands is always weird and indescribable......
Gryan laughed, "How can there be so many ogres!The Ogre Gauntlet of Great Power is essentially a magical piece of equipment, and its power does not come from the ogre, but from the magic attached to it. At least in my opinion, it's pretty much the same with any leather. However, for enchanters, if they use ogre hands to make gloves, then they will be more confident in their hearts, and the probability of success when casting and igniting will be higher. ”
"In other words, it's good to have it, but it's okay not to have it?" Pan Long asked.
"That's right. But the cost of making magic equipment is huge, and if you fail, you will lose all your money. So if they can buy ogre's hands, they are of course willing to spend some money on this ideal material. ”
"I see!" Pan Long suddenly realized.
"I'll help you use some spells to keep those four claws in good shape. "That might be a little more expensive." ”
So they took a moment, cut off four claws and two heads, and spelled them to freeze them into a heavy bag. On the other hand, the ten ears of the five gnolls do not take up space, so they can be stuffed in a little bit of freezing.
Pan Long also wanted to cut off the goblin's ears as well, but Aeon stopped him with a smile.
"No one is going to put a goblin on it. She said, "Goblin ears are worthless." ”
Packing them up, they sorted out the other loot—mainly Shalovok's sword, which Greion estimated to be very expensive. His armor should also be a high-end product, but unfortunately it was broken by magic and burned by fire again, and now it is considered a high-end material, and they really don't have the extra strength to transport it away.
"Let's go, when we get to the Friendly Arm, we might be able to hire a car back and pack it all up. ”
The four of them talked and laughed, carrying large bags and small bags, and continued along the road.
The biggest trouble has been solved, and the road behind should be safe......
