Chapter 157: The Importance of Equipment
"Dao Wushan, why did you suddenly ask this, why are you asking this?" the gray-robed man asked with some confusion.
After seeing the gray-robed man's reaction, Ye Chen immediately became excited.
Because judging from the performance of the gray-robed man, he probably knew the information of Daowu Mountain, and the news of Daowu Mountain pointed to the clues about the obsidian locker. So at the thought of getting the news of the obsidian locker right away, Ye Chen couldn't be happier.
As long as he has the Obsidian Locker, he can bring supplies from the Second Islands to the First Islands and sell them.
And Ye Chen has the passive skill of Devouring Demon Crystal to increase the strength of the mana, so as long as he has gold coins, then he can continue to get stronger.
Of course, after being promoted to a sixth-level mage, Ye Chen's devouring of the magic crystal would not increase his mage level, but it could increase his actual combat power, so it was not impossible to improve to a strength comparable to a mage master within three months.
In other words, Ye Chen still has hope of defeating the man with facial paralysis!
Thinking of the benefits he had after defeating the man with facial paralysis, Ye Chen suddenly became even more excited.
So Ye Chen couldn't wait to ask, "Gray-robed man, this news is very important to me! I hope you can tell me all the news you know! And as long as you tell me this news, then I may be able to defeat Ling Yu because of the content of this news!"
After seeing the anxious expression on Ye Chen's face, the gray-robed man was silent for a moment, and then replied, "Okay, although I don't know why you are so eager to know the news of Daowu Mountain, as long as it helps you, I will tell you." In fact, I am what you call Daowu Mountain! Daowu Mountain is my name!"
"What? Are you Daowu Mountain?" Ye Chen looked at the gray-robed man in surprise, he felt that his jaw was about to fall off, "Damn! Is there a mistake? Are you sure? Your name is Dao Wushan?"
The gray-robed man nodded, and then replied affirmatively: "That's right, the old decay line doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, I have been called this name since I was born, so I am the fake Daowu Mountain deity." By the way, Ye Chen, what the hell are you looking for me, and how do you know my name?"
Although Ye Chen is still a little incredulous, after all, the business is important!
So Ye Chen no longer wondered whether the gray-robed man was Daowushan or not, he asked directly: "These are long words, I will tell you again when I have a chance in the future, by the way, gray-robed man, have you heard of the obsidian locker? Do you know where it is?"
After speaking, Ye Chen suddenly looked at the gray-robed man with bright eyes, waiting for the gray-robed man to give the answer to his question with an expectant face.
Unfortunately, it backfired, and the gray-robed man didn't seem to know about the obsidian locker.
"Obsidian lockers?" The gray-robed man looked at Ye Chen with a frown, he wondered if he had heard it wrong, "I've only heard of wooden lockers, iron lockers, and gold lockers, but I've never heard of obsidian lockers, are you sure there's such a thing on the Beya Continent?"
Ye Chen looked at the gray-robed man with a shocked face: "Are you sure?Haven't you really heard of the obsidian locker?Why don't you think about it again?"
The gray-robed man struggled to recall for a while, and finally shook his head: "I really haven't heard of it, and I haven't seen anything like an obsidian locker, by the way, Ye Chen, what are you looking for this for?"
What? The Grey Man hadn't even heard of the Obsidian Locker? What the hell was going on?
Ye Chen clearly remembered that his father's letter clearly pointed out that the clue to the obsidian locker was in the three words Daowu Mountain, could it be because of the duplicate name?
However, the news about Daowu Mountain that Ye Chen bought for 1,000 gold coins on the exchange also clearly pointed out that Daowu Mountain is related to the gray-robed people, what is going on?
Could it be that Ye Chen made a mistake? The Daowu Mountain that Dad asked him to find was not the same person as the Daowu Mountain in the exchange?
Thinking that he had probably spent 1,000 gold coins to make such a big oolong, Ye Chen suddenly felt a pain in his flesh.
But at this moment, the gray-robed man suddenly thought of something, and he said while recalling: "By the way, there seems to be a cabinet-shaped thing in the treasure house of the Feather Alliance that I guarded before, maybe that is the obsidian locker you are looking for. ”
As soon as he heard that the gray-robed man had provided useful clues, Ye Chen suddenly became excited again, and he hurriedly asked anxiously: "Gray-robed man, do you remember where that cabinet is? Can you give this cabinet to me? Or I can exchange other materials with you!"
The gray-robed man hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly: "Hey...... Ye Chen, I'm sorry, the Feather League Treasury was indeed taken care of by me before, but after Ling Yu became the leader of the Feather League, the Feather League Treasury was taken over by the Ling family, and all the materials, including that cabinet, had been transported to other places by the Ling family. So if you want to retrieve this cabinet, then you can only go to Ling Yu. ”
What? was taken away?
The flame of hope ignited in Ye Chen's heart just now, and now it was completely extinguished by a basin of cold water, and now Ye Chen's heart is simply pulling out the cold.
Although he knew where the obsidian lockers were, he had no way to get them.
Because if the Obsidian Locker was really transported away by Ling Yu, then the problem was back to square one - he would only be able to obtain the Obsidian Locker if he defeated Ling Yu in the battle three months later.
But without the Obsidian Cabinet, what would he do to defeat Ling Yu?
Ye Chen was a little overwhelmed all of a sudden.
"Gray-robed man, do you have any good advice for the battle in three months?" Ye Chen, who had lost his mind, could only ask the gray-robed man, he wanted to see if the gray-robed man could give any good advice.
The gray-robed man pondered for a moment, then replied, "Ling Yu is a junior mage-level mage, and he is also the best among the junior mages, there are only a handful of people on the Beya continent who can defeat him, so I am not optimistic about you, and I don't believe that you can defeat Ling Yu in the battle in three months." ”
Hearing that the gray-robed man told the truth so directly, Ye Chen was suddenly depressed.
Although Ye Chen also knew that the probability of him being able to defeat Ling Yu was really low and terrifying, he still had a glimmer of hope.
The reason why he asked the gray-robed man for advice was not just that he hoped that the gray-robed man could give a little advice, but in fact, he hoped that the gray-robed man could cheer him up.
But it backfired, and the gray-robed man didn't play his cards according to the routine! Not only did he not say a word of encouragement, nor did he mention a word of advice, but he also grew Ling Yu's ambition and destroyed Ye Chen's prestige, which was really a bit excessive.
So Ye Chen retorted: "Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense about the big truth, I don't want to hear these big truths." Tell me, how can I improve my combat effectiveness in three months? Is there any better direction to work towards? Is there a way that can make me reborn in a short period of time and improve my strength by a large margin? Or is there any shortcut to achieve a quick result?"
"Oh, you want to ask this!" the gray-robed man continued with a look of sudden realization, "Actually, it's very easy to quickly improve your combat power in a short period of time, you just need to equip a suitable equipment." I don't need to talk to you about the importance of equipment!You see that you are now a sixth-level magician, but you don't even have a piece of armor on you, and you don't have a weapon, so for you, if you want to improve your combat effectiveness in a short period of time, the most direct way is to change into a very good equipment. ”
After hearing the gray-robed man's suggestion, Ye Chen nodded again and again: "Your idea is not bad, according to the information I know, basically magicians above level four will use weapons and equipment to improve their strength, and I don't even have a piece of equipment, which is indeed a bit unreasonable." Looks like I'm going to have to figure out how to get the right gear!"
But at this time, Ye Chen suddenly discovered another problem, that is, there were not many gold coins around him at this time, and these gold coins were simply not enough to support Ye Chen to buy a full set of crystal equipment.
Ye Chen suddenly fell into deep thought, and he began to make calculations in his heart: "I have more than a dozen gold coins by my side now, plus the gold coins in the balance of the exchange account, I'm afraid I only have about a hundred gold coins when I am full." But it's hard to buy a full set of crystal equipment with the money, let alone enchant it. What should I do?"
Forget it, why don't you ask the gray-robed man what he can do! It would be better if the gray-robed man could lend money to Ye Chen to buy equipment!
So Ye Chen asked with a smile: "Hehe, can we discuss something with the gray-robed man?" Hehe, I want to buy a full set of enchanted crystal equipment, can you lend me a few hundred gold coins? Of course, if you have enough money, lend me a few thousand gold coins, and I have no opinion." Because if you can lend me a few thousand gold coins, then I'll go straight to buy obsidian gear. And don't worry, if you borrow money from me, I will definitely pay you back! I swear to God!"
Looking at Ye Chen's expectant face, the gray-robed man was silent for a while, he sighed deeply, and then refused: "I'm sorry, Ye Chen, I don't have a penny on my body, because I basically guard the tomb and rarely go out, so I haven't saved exchange gold coins at all." However, I think that in addition to buying equipment, you can also go to the crystal ruins to open boxes and get blueprints by yourself.
Because most of the skeletons in the crystal ruins are level 5 skeletons and level 6 skeletons, and then with your current strength, it is more than enough to break through the crystal ruins. And I've heard that the crystal ruins at Old Platinum Bay are about to open soon, so you can try your luck there. ”
