Seeing the words on the note, Lu Kuan laughed, when did these guys have time to get together.

This is the first New Year's gift I received~

Ma Yu'er opened the package, opened the wooden box with good workmanship, and a black hand crossbow appeared in front of Lu Kuan's eyes.

It turned out to be a short crossbow?

"A well-prepared gift (Master Craftsman level +2 short crossbow)

One-handed

Equipment Requirements: Dexterity 25

Weight: 5

Durability: 100%

Effective range: 30+5 meters

Reload Speed: 8

Dexterity +1

Strength +2

Constitution +1 (Enhanced.)

Adamantite Structure: Master Craftsman Tomicius mixed Adamantite Gold into the raw materials, greatly enhancing the strength of the crossbow, dealing 30% more damage and 30% more critical damage.

Shadow Master: Mage Wood Bird infuses the Short Crossbow with the power of Shadow, which injects a bolt that ignores 20% of the target's armor and adds 30% additional Shadow Damage.

Damien's Blood: The crossbow body is soaked in the blood of the Sword Saint Damien, full of sincere loyalty to the Lord of Runeterra, Lao Lu, and at the same time contains the unique sword energy power of the Sword Master.

For 10 seconds after activation, each short crossbow can carry a sharp sword aura, which is equivalent to Damian's sword aura, and fires continuously without interruption, ignoring the pause of the refilled crossbow arrow.

Each bolt costs the user 15 energy and has a cooldown of 10 minutes.

'The prosperity of Runeter City is not without reason, it comes from the tireless work of the Great Lord, the determination of the rock as a rock - the people of Runeterra'

”

Seeing the words on the short crossbow, Lu Kuan was slightly stunned, and followed closely, and a warmth rose from the bottom of his heart.

"These guys ......"

The words on the weapon speak for themselves, these guys must have been preparing for a long time, even the old fellow Tomicius.

There are three highest-level weapon forging masters in Rune City, among which Tomicius is the oldest, but this old man is too old, and usually teaches apprentices more than do it himself.

Craftsman-level equipment......

"I'm really a little moved~" Lu Kuan weighed the crossbow in his hand and grinned happily.

At the same time that Lu Kuan got the hand crossbow, the name of this short crossbow was also added to the weapon rankings.

Not only Rune City, but also the entire Northern Empire region, there are very few equipment at the level of great craftsmen, and the total number only exceeded 500 pieces not long ago, and a considerable part of them are low-level equipment.

Therefore, the short crossbow has appeared, and it has reached the top 50 of the Northern Empire's equipment rankings, and its special name immediately attracted the attention of many professional players.

The attributes of the equipment can be hidden, but the inscription at the end of the equipment cannot be hidden, and even a fool can tell who this special "gift" is for.

This matter caused a heated discussion in the forum, and not to mention it for the time being, Lu Kuan had already arrived at the Golden King City through the teleportation array.

There is also a joyful pre-holiday atmosphere in front of me.

The streets are lit up, and many NPC children have changed into red clothes and cotton appearances, and walking on the street feels much stronger than the real New Year's flavor.

At this time, it was already night, and Lu Kuan rushed straight out of the royal city and plunged into the night.

The wolves were all released, opening the way in front, Lu Kuan advanced all the way to the southeast, and after a while, the lights of the royal city behind him were no longer visible.

Bounded by the royal city, the monsters in the northern plains are of low level, while the southern deserts are full of monsters, ranging from coyotes to hydras and lizards, and endless monsters are rooted here, guarding the endless treasures buried in the desert.

"Whew~"

A long wolf howl came from afar, Dimi immediately turned his head vigilantly, Lu Kuan glanced at it from a distance, and a group of sand wolves rushed from west to east, like a group of well-trained cavalry in the moonlight.

"Dimi doesn't panic." Lu Kuan comforted the head wolf softly, knowing that the wolves in front of him were running so hard, they must have found a large prey, and they just quietly bypassed.

As Lu Kuan expected, the wolves quickly disappeared behind the sand dunes, and Lu Kuan continued to move along the established route, eliminating a few flame lizards that did not have long eyes in the middle, and successfully reached the outskirts of the desert elf village.

The name of this place on the map is Mizuto Village, which is a relatively closed village, and players can go here to buy supplies, but it is basically in vain to communicate with NPCs and find quests.

Lu Kuan stood on the top of a large sand dune, looking at the direction of the village from a distance, where the lights were bright, and there were bright torches on all sides, and around the village, there were patches of black figures standing quietly, the moonlight was too faint to see the specific appearance.

Seeing this, Lu Kuan sent a message to Dai Guang: "I've arrived, has the battle started?" ”

"So fast?"

Dai Guang immediately replied, his tone full of surprise: "It's not certain whether you fight or not, which direction are you in?" ”

"Just north, on a large sand dune of about 300 meters."

"Do you see the figures around you? They are all nearby sand bandits, and they came here tonight to give us a dismount, but they shouldn't dare to fight, they have a leader who has been arrested by us......"

The Sand Bandits are a special group of NPCs in the game who were born and raised in the desert, but have never been attached to the Golden King, or the Silver Dragon Republic in generations.

Their life's mission seems to be to rob, kill, and even take pleasure in it, and even take pride in it, and the trade between the Golden King City and the Silver Dragon Empire cannot avoid the Beetle Desert, and they are also deeply affected by the attacks of this group of sand bandits.

Dai Guang quickly explained the situation to Lu Kuan, Lu Kuan looked up at the front, and said, "I'm afraid you guys are wrong, they are planning to attack tonight." ”

"Huh?" Dai Guang looked confused.

At this time, in Lu Kuan's field of vision, several behemoths were slowly pushed out from behind the sand dunes, shiny metal tips, shining in the moonlight.

Lu Kuan took off his longbow, and at the same time asked Dai Guang to organize himself into the team: "These sand bandits are quite rich, and they also carry siege crossbows." ”

"Huh??" Several people in the team were equally surprised.

"You're not mistaken, do you have siege crossbows for these bandits? They can't afford to sell it! Chen Shuang said incredulously.

"I don't know, but now at least five siege crossbows are right under my nose,"

Lu Kuan also couldn't figure it out, and said on the team channel: "Let those elves scatter to find good cover, don't go up, gather into a group to be a target for others." ”

The siege crossbow is powerful, but there is an unavoidable weakness, that is, the killing area is too small, and the lethality against scattered groups is limited.

A few people immediately passed on the news, Lu Kuan had already summoned the radish, rode up and looked at the sand bandits around the village condescendingly, and said, "By the way, how many levels are these robbers?" ”

"38, 39, 40 at the captain level, the leader has never seen it." Dai Guang said quickly.

Lu Kuan laughed when he heard it: "Okay, I'll go and harass them and light the torches on the wall." ”
