Act XLVII: Babasha
Brando told the gargoyle to let go of his claws, and he and Charles landed on the soft meadow. In the quiet woods at the top of the hill, they saw a crooked wooden house—a slum house, two stories high, with the light of a dim candle peeking through the cracks in the planks.
"My lord, this is where you call Lvup?" Charleson Song took a sore wrist and looked carefully at the house in front of him, with a stern look of suspicion on his face: "I don't want to question you, my lord, but how can I look more like the place where the witches of Bunosong live." ”
"You read that right, this is a witch's residence."
"Oh, the witches do have some way of increasing their power temporarily."
"No, temporary forces are too fragile."
"So, my lord, your goal is spiritism? Spiritism is indeed a desperate solution. But my lord, those evil spirits of the lower world are not easy to deal with, and I have a few ways to deceive them, but I have not tried them myself-" Brando walked towards the cabin, and the young man followed closely behind.
"Charles, remember to sue me next time, but this time we're here to do business."
"Buying and selling?"
Brando had already reached the door, and he stopped, tensing his body and slowly regulating his breathing.
Only he knew that the witch who lived here called Babasha was nothing more than a façade. The aristocracy often left a secret passage for emergency purposes when designing the family castle, and the original owner of Yusong Castle, Duke Goran-Elsen, because he was a conservative diehard, made many enemies in the political field, and the tunnels in the castle were built to avoid the densely populated area until this hill.
And as the wizarding advisor of Duke Goran-Elson, it is only natural that Babasha is here to guard the exit of the secret passage for the lord. This secret is still discovered by the players in the Second War of the Black Roses, after repeatedly tug-of-war with Madara to conquer Yusong Castle to no avail, and find the blueprints of the castle.
And this level 32 witch called Babasha, Brando is also very familiar with it. When he was leveling up in Redenburg, it was the only store that sold mysterious items, and Brando didn't have a lot of gaming experience at that time and liked to gamble on luck, and as a result, the old witch swallowed a lot of hard-earned money.
But that's not the point, it's how he can subdue the Ring Wizard so that the next plan can be carried out. One of his hands was always on the hilt of his sword, his fingers cold from too much tension.
He hesitated for a moment before curling his finger and striking three times on the seventy-degree inclined plank, with a gap between a long and a short slit on it.
A voice soon came from the second floor, sharp and old: "Who, if you want to divination, come back in the day." ”
"I don't divination, I bring something."
"Do you want to do business, do you know the rules?" The voice upstairs paused and asked.
"I have what you need, witch."
"Really? You'd better get what I want, or I'll gouge out your heart and throw it at my dog. A shrill voice rang out from the second floor to the first floor, accompanied by the sound of Deng Deng Deng descending the stairs.
The door soon opened, revealing an ugly old face. The witch looked at him for a long time with her cloudy eyes under her hood, and said, "Speak quickly." ”
Brando, without thinking about it, pulled out his sword and placed it around her neck. His hand was beyond everyone's expectations, and even Charles on the side was startled: Is there such a business with people?
When he drew his sword, his whole body was like a tightened string, so that after he succeeded, he felt a little weak all over his body. He exhaled, his sword gripping his hand trembling - as long as Babasha reacted a fraction of a second, she could have more than ten ways to beat herself into ashes with a single spell.
But it's really fortunate, it is estimated that this old witch is also pampered, relying on the strength of a ring wizard and not taking herself, a black iron lower-level swordsman, in her eyes. Maybe Babasha still felt that even with the long sword, she was not without a chance, but for Brando, the outcome of the battle had already been decided at this moment.
Charles was also taken aback on the side, and he thought that escaping from prison or something, or the trouble of finding an earl, was nothing more than pediatric compared to this moment; As soon as Babasha opened the door, he found out that this was a one-ring wizard, Martha was on top, and a high-ranking wizard like her could hit him ten times with a single slap.
But without saying a word, the lord himself put the sword on the other party's neck first.
"Young man, what do you want to do?" Babasha's face turned cold and asked sharply.
"Before you finish the third measure with the little finger of your left hand, my sword will pierce your heart. Hearing the witch say that the heart is the source of a person's life, corresponding to the magic triangle, I have always wanted to practice whether this is the case. Brando replied coldly, "Of course if I were you, I would stop this foolish act at once." ”
As soon as he said this, Babasha and Charles immediately changed their faces.
Charles thought to himself that this old witch was actually casting a spell, and he didn't even see it, it must be a very profound high-level spell technique, but how did his lord recognize it?
And Babasha's heart was even more shocked, a swordsman who obviously didn't have a trace of magic ripples on her body actually recognized her spell skills at a glance, and accurately called out which spell segment she was in, is this world upside down?
"What do you want to do?" Under the shock of her heart, she softened her attitude and asked.
"Lord Golan-Elson does not seem to have a friend in the capital, and it must be that the reason why he lent the castle to the Earl was also because the other party was a close minister. In that case, why would you die for a stranger? ”
Although Brando said it confidently, his hand holding the sword was trembling slightly. He always pays attention to every detail of Babasha's movements and eyes, for fear that the other party will play tricks. Originally, a wizard of level 3 and 40 should not have any secrets in his eyes, but his perception attribute is too low, and he can only guess and be blind.
Brando felt that he was now more daring than anyone else.
And Babasha's face changed again: "What do you say." ”
"My request is simple. I want you to swear by your natal planet that you will lend me the secret passage of Yusong Fort once, only once, and I will not preach it to anyone. ”
The old witch looked at Brando like a monster, and she was the only one who knew about the secret passages of Üssonburg except for the Duke of Golan-Elson. Even the duke's personal entourage and his family didn't know, how did this young man know? Could it be that he was the illegitimate son of Duke Golan-Elson?
"I said no."
"I don't want to kill."
It was then that Babasha realized that she had little room to negotiate. She thought for a moment, relented, and trembled and stretched out her hand to the Witch Throne to swear, but Brando shook her head.
"Babasha, isn't your natal sign Hydra?"
The witch shuddered a little, how did he know? She couldn't help but look at the other party's dark eyes, as if all her secrets were exposed under the other party's sharp eyes, the natal sign was a witch's biggest secret, and she was only giving it to Duke Golan Elson to gain the other party's trust. Babasha felt more and more mysterious about Brando, so she didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and honestly swore a poisonous oath by pointing to her natal constellation.
Brando breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that his vest was completely soaked with sweat. He put down his sword and said to Charles on the side, "Charles, you go to the shelf in the back and take down the rightmost scroll in the first row. There's also the box in the middle of the second row, and the three reagent bottles on the far left of the third row. Don't touch anything else. ”
Charles had already admired his lord at this time, and he had said in heaven that Brando was unfathomable, but this would really make him feel that this lord was a bit unfathomable.
And now Babasha felt that she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and the young man could tell which things on her shelves were really useful and which were full of vicious curses. You have to know that those things are really secrets that only she knows.
However, when Charles opened the box, he exclaimed in surprise: "These are elemental crystals, Lord Lord, you can use them directly if you take a moment to absorb them!" ”
But Brando shook his head, walked over and picked up the three dusty reagent bottles at the bottom and asked, "Do you know what these are?" ”
Babasha also looked up in confusion, the old witch didn't even know what was in the three reagent bottles, but at her level she could instinctively feel the magic ripples emanating from some of the items, so she stayed—after years, a thick layer of ash had accumulated.
Originally, the reagent is a thing that can't be tried casually, not only the poison will kill people, but the wrong way to use the proscenium will also make people die without illness.
Magic is inherently a powerful, mysterious, and dangerous thing.
Charles looked twice and shook his head.
"This is a mana potion, why don't you even know this." Brando, with some dissatisfaction, wiped the dust off the bottle, revealing the light blue liquid underneath.
"Impossible!" Babasha and Charles looked shocked.
"Why are you so surprised, isn't it a magic potion? I'm going to ask you now, these three bottles of mana potions can increase your mana by four times. Regardless of the change in magic power, what level of wizard do you think you have with four times the mana? ”
"Intermediate wizard." Charles replied dryly.
"So, these are the three indicators I tell you, three bottles of mana potions, and before you use them up, you're a mid-level wizard. And now you're just an apprentice, you see? ”
Charles nodded subconsciously, but it was a mana potion, known as the gold of wizards. This thing was born out of high-level alchemy, and it was no better than holy water - he had only seen it in a parchment scroll himself, and he just threw it to him casually?
Brando picked up the long parchment scroll on top of the shelf again: "This is the scroll that records the mystery of how ascetics compress the air on either side of their blades to sharpen them. Skills, which are part of the attributes. That's the three indicators, and now you understand what I mean by coming here to improve yourself? ”
"Cultivating a skill doesn't happen overnight, is it useful to sharpen a spear before the battle, lord—" Charles said immediately, but he saw Brando sweeping through the scroll and throwing it away. The scroll landed on the ground with an empty thud, and the latter froze there for about a few seconds. Then he suddenly swung a sword with his backhand to the door of the wooden house, and with a 'click', the door frame broke outward from three or five feet, and the door panel was divided into two pieces and floated out more than ten meters before landing.
Charles opened his mouth wide and his jaw almost fell to the ground.
Brando also frowned, just practicing this skill used up 153 skill experience. This is not a cross-class skill, the consumption of mid-level skills is too outrageous, and the forum said that this skill should be upgraded to at least level 25, so the experience required is not fantastical.
However, in his opinion, it is worth it, after all, he has learned more than ten mid-level skills in his previous life, and half of them are skills that come with the profession. This scroll was about the closest mid-level skill he had in the early game, but unfortunately missed out due to a bit of luck.
So whether or not you want to make the next plan, at least the skills on this reel must be acquired. Now it's just a drop-by.
He put down his sword, turned back to Babasha, and said, "I'll borrow these things from you, okay?" "It's said to be borrowing, but it's actually similar to robbing. But this old witch is not a good thing, he is relatively unpsychologically burdened.
However, Brando just asked casually, but he didn't expect Babasha to kneel down with a plop, bow his head deeply and touch the ground with his forehead: "The prophecy of darkness says that only the dark dragon can see through the secrets of witches, and any means in front of you are just tricks, you have insight into people's hearts and understand everything." O ancestor of the Miner people, you have returned—"
This time it was Brando's turn and Charles to be stunned.
