V1.Chapter 12

(This is tomorrow's update. I'm going to buy something tomorrow, because the automatic update doesn't work for some reason, so I'll send it together today.)

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

clang clang!

The dagger cracked under continuous parry. After all, it was just an ordinary weapon, and normal wear and tear was a very serious matter. Before Sauron had raised his strength to Tier 2, he always carried more than three weapons on his body, so that he could use it as a backup in case of damage in battle. Ordinary equipment can basically be bought at the blacksmith shop, but the enchanted extraordinary equipment is very rare. Sauron only got a handy weapon after exploring ancient ruins.

It must be mentioned that the weapon that Sauron is best at is quite special!

Not a dagger, but a machete.

Qualified machetes are difficult to buy in southern cities. Even the common equipment for whiteboards is the same, because the price of a whiteboard weapon with a slightly better steel and excellent forging process is about five kindlers. Therefore, players who have just entered the battle of the gods for a long time are struggling to obtain a high-quality whiteboard weapon. As for the dagger currently held in Sauron's hand, in terms of quality, it should actually be gray equipment, and the real white-board dagger should be a weapon folded and forged with fine steel.

"Sure enough, you should get a machete first!"

Sauron turned sideways, his waist twisted 180 degrees, the dagger slashed on the back of the skeleton's neck bone, instantly shattering the target's last trace of death energy, and the entire body was scattered into broken bones. He looked at the 45 points of killing experience he could see, and threw the almost damaged dagger in his hand, muttering, "There are no machetes in southern cities. If you want to buy a suitable one, you must at least go to a place close to the grassland."

Naturally, what Sauron used was no ordinary machete.

Even if he followed his strictest requirements, the machete he needed could not be bought on the northern grasslands. Only the top blacksmith masters in the Underdark could forge the machete he needed. The full moon machete in the Sage Desert was too light, and the deboning machete on the northern grasslands was too brittle. The only thing Sauron could really feel was the heavy machete that had some of the characteristics of the Tang saber and integrated the superiority of the sword. The weight of this kind of machete is very heavy. The back of the blade alone can kill an ogre, and the lethality when slashing can be maximized. Sauron once slashed a three-foot-thick marble with one knife.

One foot is about 30 centimeters, and three feet is nearly one meter thick!

Even an adult dragon can't hold back the power of his slashing, otherwise there would not be a legend of a violent thief with two swords circulating in the Underdark. Some people even say that if he is not a stalker, but a part-time Berserker, Juggernaut or Weapon Master, it is possible to face off against an ancient red dragon.

Fighting with a heavy machete requires a minimum of 14 Strength!

Sauron's original pair of machetes were legendary weapons specially created in the Underdark. One weighed 18 kilograms and the other weighed 16 kilograms. Only 18 points or more of strength could be played.

His figure gradually faded into the shadows.

Sauron didn't expect to be able to get extraordinary weapons from the beginning, as long as he could get a high-quality military standard weapon, he was already satisfied.

usually!

Fifteen or so Kindlers can be bought.

At this stage, the Southern Principality still uses the silver standard system, and the silver dler is the recognized currency. Gold can only be regarded as a precious metal. Even the jindler created by the followers of the goddess of wealth is only circulated among the high-level nobles. One Kindler is worth ten silver dels, and whether it's a kinder or silver, twenty weighs exactly one pound. As for the copper derler, many of them are privately cast by the lower class, and many of them are shoddy, and the ratio to the silver derler will fluctuate. At the beginning, many people suffered from this!

The players also scolded the mother for a long time.

It is because the battle of the gods is so real that there is no unified currency.

If it weren't for a goddess of wealth who measured the currency leverage, the currency conversion of various ethnic regions could make many people feel collapsed!

However, this extremely real world rule is still sought after by many people.

The original Sauron was one of them!

For him, the battle of the gods is completely another world, and it is also an indispensable part of his life experience, and it can even be said to be an extension of life.

That's why he accepts everything so easily.

………………

As you go deeper into the cave, the gloomy feeling becomes more and more intense.

The first fork in front of Sauron appeared, and there were three corpses that had completely rotted into bones.

"It's a trap."

Sauron lifted a corpse with one hand and looked at it, then muttered: "It looks like this guy was shot to death by a crossbow bolt! There should have been a very powerful crossbow bolt trap here."

Three of his ribs were broken, and Sauron could tell at a glance that this guy had been hit by at least ten arrows.

A trap is difficult to place so many attacks.

Sauron shrugged, and from the corpse, he turned out some silver derlers, as well as rotten and unknown paper, and a bronze medal. He put away Yindeler, and then looked at the piece of paper. The writing on it was completely blurred. As for the last bronze medal, he was very familiar with it. It was the symbol of the Adventurer's Union, an official E-level adventurer.

"What an unlucky fellow."

"It seems that after he died, the companions used his body to block the traps several times."

Sure enough, taking risks is the best way to make money.

Sauron just turned over the corpses that had been destroyed under the trap, and found more than ten silver dlers and two shiny kindlers.

Almost as much as his income from killing ghetto gangs!

"One, two, three."

Sauron threw the corpse aside, perhaps because he had experienced too much in the battle of the gods, and now it feels nothing to face the corpse of the bones, he just said to himself: "Counting the skeletons at the beginning, the four guys look at They are all warriors in leather armor, so mages should not join such a low-level adventure team."

"And what about another thief?"

Wizards, priests, druids, and warlocks are typical rich and handsome professionals.

A scroll of arcane missiles is 30 Jindler, how could it be possible to join such a low-level adventurer team.

Because the combat power is very strong, all the spellcasting professionals in the treasure house of the gods are honored as mages. However, the Master is also synonymous with hard work. There are more than 30 kinds of conventional first-order arcane magic, and it takes about 1,500 Kindlers to learn through the transcription of the arcane scroll. If you are looking for an Aboriginal teacher, it only costs half, but it is also nearly seven or eight hundred Kindlers.

This is only the cost of the first-order arcane!

Although priest Druids can use divine arts, whether it is a ritual of 'Blessing of God' or a ritual of 'Blessing of Nature', it takes more than 500 Kindler materials to prepare. If you choose a god to believe in, part of the cost will be borne by the temple, but it will also require about 300 Jindler. Although warlocks have the advantage of bloodline awakening and can automatically master spell abilities, the ritual of bloodline advancement is more expensive.

If Sauron remembered correctly, the first bloodline promotion ceremony required about 1,000 Kindler materials.

Because at that time he was borrowed most of his savings by a fellow warlock.

By comparison!

It is much easier for melee professionals, who can cut people with a knife.

Under normal circumstances, the occupation level of mages is only about five, and many occupations of the melee department have reached the eighth or even tenth level.

You can feel the difficulty of making money by looking at Sauron's worth.

In order to collect the huge expenses, more than 90% of the mages have had a very hard life.

There was a saying in the pub!

——“The reward cannot be determined for an adventure higher than 100 Kindlers. It is impossible to invite those mages!”

Low-level spellcasting systems have low combat effectiveness.

In order to exert enough power, at least 5 professional levels are required, so most of the low-level adventurer teams do not have legal professionals.

therefore!

Only then did Sauron judge that there must be a thief.

In the absence of a 'reconnaissance trap' with a success rate of over 90%, thieves can only rely on professional experience to judge.

Don't have high expectations for the chances of low-level thieves finding traps!

At this stage, the thieves are okay to pick locks, and their mastery of trap skills is not high. There are many things that find traps and then fail to dismantle them and die inside.

Since taking risks has high rewards, naturally there are also high risks!

A successful adventure with no casualties on the team, and that's when we get back to the tavern and invite everyone to have a good drink.

In fact.

There are not many opportunities for Sauron to invite everyone to a drink in the tavern.

………………

soon.

Sauron found the body of the thief in the hole in front of him.

He was not interested in judging why the thief died here based on the clues, but directly lifted the corpse, looked at the missing half of his head, and said with an ugly face: "Acid trap?"

Should be a strong acid trap.

It is one of the most deadly traps for all thieves in the early stage!

Otherwise, there are very few other traps that can melt half the head of the corpse, and there are many small pits on the ground, which are left behind by the splash of strong acid.

"Looks troublesome."

Sauron took out a small mallet and tapped the ground lightly. In order to prevent the traps from being triggered by rats, the triggering mode of many traps was based on adult weight, so halflings are always the most popular among adventurers. thieves. There are two types of acid traps: magic traps and physical traps. The former is to set up a magic circle and then connect a trigger device, while the latter is to install refined strong acid on the trigger device, and spray the strong acid out after someone touches the trap.

Before entering the high-level bloodline awakening.

Even fighters with occupation level 5 or higher may be killed directly by the acid trap!

Even if you survive, people are almost useless.

There are many bloodline promotion ceremonies in the later stage of career enhancement. Although there are many warriors with terrifyingly high physiques, they are still fighting vigorously after resisting strong acid, explosions, lava, etc.!

But at this stage, Sauron was not sure he could withstand a strong acid trap.

If hit.

It can be said that it is certain to die!
