The contact in reality made Barrett feel the insurmountable gap between himself and those local tyrants. And since the other party dares to come alone, he has a real meeting with himself, a 'stranger' who only knows him from the game. Naturally, they have absolute confidence in their own safety - not to mention the camera surveillance system that is located throughout the city, and the choice of high-end restaurants alone is more than capable of handling most situations. In the dining room, Barrett felt several wary glances sweeping over him from time to time, and the undisguised scrutiny was extremely uncomfortable.

It's delicious, but it's not a good experience. Thinking of this, Barrett smiled wryly and shook his head, but at that moment he heard a knock on the door.

Barrett, who was awakened from his self-pity by the noise, immediately echoed, "Which one? ”

"Sir, this is a new list from Lord Ovaltine, please confirm what you need." Then the voice of the waiter came from outside the door.

Hearing this, Barrett hurriedly got up, "I'll be here right away." ”

Looking at the parchment roll in his hand, Barrett's smiling face at the moment no longer had a trace of sadness. He immediately took the list and walked to the halfling wanderer's house, but unfortunately, the lack of response after knocking on the door indicated that the noodle guy was not in the mansion for the time being: "He should go to the gathering place of the 'Good Dragon God' again!" Forget it, let's wait until everybody is here to discuss this matter, so as not to make people think I'm being too arbitrary. ”

The recent period has been arguably the most laid-back time for players since entering 'Ulrik'. Without the Malkins' mission orders, there were no threats from hostile forces in the city. Bloodstained Grey players are finally free to spend their time and energy in Ulrique. Except for the dwarves who had just arrived, they couldn't find a place to go for a while. The rest of the players are very active! So it's normal to find no one.

Fortunately, as the sun moves westward. The players also returned to the merchant hall one after another before dinner. It's not that they miss the food in the Merchant House. It's to make sure that if something unexpected happens, the whole team can react in a timely manner. However, after seeing Claudia. Auditore was still a little surprised when he was in Auditore: "I didn't expect you to be able to go online today, Miss?" ”

"What's this? I'm still on the plane, but that doesn't stop me from getting into the game! "Claudia. Auditore said as a matter of course.

By this time, Barrett had finally understood what the eldest lady meant by the day, 'Even in heaven it does not affect my daily life'. This made Barrett's understanding of Howe a little deeper.

"It's my lack of knowledge. It's a shame. At this time, he could only let out a long sigh: "By the way, I have good news to tell you today." The new items that Ovaltine Knight said earlier have arrived, and the list delivered this morning is just right for someone to need! ”

"Barrett, what are you selling in front of us!" Rielly on the side was already a little impatient, "Hurry up and bring the list of items!" ”

Seeing Rielly's fangs and claws, Barrett had no choice but to hand over the parchment that he had been putting in his pocket since morning: "Look at it! But I'm going to put you to the test this time. Let's see if we can figure out which items are what our team needs the most right now. ”

"Is there an exam question? I like that. I didn't expect Barrett, you also have the mind to joke today. It looks like that meal was really not in vain! But you've changed a little too much...... "Claudia. As he said this, Auditore stood on tiptoe and reached out to rub Barrett's cheek. It seems that he wants to see if the person in front of him is someone else's fake.

Barrett, who waved his hand away from the other party's fingers, shook his head: "Miss, you've made a mistake to vent your energy." Let's try out what you know about the team now and what you plan for the future! ”

Claudia who heard this. Auditore realized that his companions had already begun a rambling debate around the parchment. Turning around, she quickly joined the discussion, and the house was like a large duck farm.

And Barrett, who caused all this, is now sitting alone in a position with a cup of tea tightly. Watch the fight between these companions in front of me. Half an hour later, the group of players still couldn't convince the other companions of their choice, but the three men and three women were divided into two different camps - this time the cat boy once again rarely disobeyed one of the mages and sided with what he thought was right.

"That's it! You should have already made your choice! Seeing that the heat was almost the same, Barrett immediately got up and inserted himself between the two parties who were fighting: "Tell me what you have chosen." ”

"So who's going first?" Claudia who said this. Auditore looked back and glared at the three male compatriots.

And Noodle, who is a male representative, raised his hand slightly: "Ladies first." ”

"Then we're welcome. Barrett, you're going to have to take down the 'Magic Ring' anyway. With this item, combined with the 'Spell Counter Ring' we got earlier. In the future, when we face hostile spellcasters, we will be much more confident. As she said this, Rielie stared at Barrett with both eyes, as if he were afraid that he would not agree.

The Tactics Ring generally looks like a plain gold ring. However, it resembles a miniature piece of armor and shimmers with silver sparks. This ring, which costs at least 12,000 gold, grants the user two abilities.

First. The ring will alert the user to any spell cast within 60 feet, and allow the user to do a Identify Spell check (difficulty = 15 + spell level) to determine what kind of spell it is (even if the user is unable to see or feel the effect of the spell). This capability is in effect for a long time. No need to start.

The second is the ability to take the initiative once a day (an instant thought can be activated) when the user successfully performs the aforementioned identification spell check. The user can activate the ring to counter the spell. It's like using disarming magic to counter. Or reset the spell target to any target within 60 feet of the user. Of course, if the reset target is unreasonable (e.g., due to a spell range limit or other limit), the spell will still apply and the ability will be consumed.

It can be said that this is a very reliable spell-casting radar. While the ability to counter spells isn't great, the ability to change spell targets can sometimes work wonders. Although the price of 12,000 gold coins is a bit high, it is indeed worth the price compared to its effect.

After listening to Rieley's explanation, Barrett looked down at the master's hands: "Rieley, you already have a pair of rings!" How do I rotate if I add another one? ”

I don't know if it's because of the rules of the game, or if it's because of spells and the unique force field needs of the human body. The vast majority of players in the game will only be able to make the two spell rings they are wearing. Of course, there is no other way. For example, the special ability of the Trap Warlock, or a necklace that looks like a mummy's palm has an effect that exceeds the limit. However, neither of those two can be done by current players.

"That's not a problem." Rielly then expressed her thoughts: "The Four Winds Ring on my hand is useless for me now. But for Claudia, it can still be used. It's just the perfect way to bolster her defenses. ”

"You're kind." Barrett looked thoughtfully at the ladies in front of him, and immediately understood that the other had completed the distribution between them that only they knew. At the same time, there was room for the behavior of these people, but the remaining share of about 13,000 gold coins was not moved.

"Next, let's see your options for noodles." Barrett turned his gaze to his fellow men.

The halfling wanderer on behalf of the representative knew that he needed to fight for his own benefit this time: "On this list, I found two different enchanted crossbows. So I'd like to be able to choose one of them to replace my current weapon to ensure that my combat power can keep up with the increase in combat intensity. ”

Listening to the halfling's goal, Barrett nodded in his mind, "That's what I thought. Thinking about it, the cat boy is also a clear-eyed person, and understands that such a choice will improve the team the most. That's why I objected to Rieli's proposal! ’

Barrett, who already had a judgment in his heart, nodded: "Compared to the use of battle rings with no small restrictions, the choice of noodles is obviously much more versatile. However, you can only choose one of the two enchanted crossbows, and you will have to evaluate them carefully. ”

Several female players who heard this immediately understood that they had lost this game. They looked at Barrett's gaze a little sharper. However, he finally recognized the captain's authoritative verdict. Don't make a statement about this choice - either side of the previous choice has selfish intentions, but Rielie and the others are more selfish.

At this time, Noodle continued to ask, "So the base before the enchantment was the mild steel crossbow that Boreham led famously?" ”

The mild steel crossbows produced by Boreham Collar have always been known on the Western Continent for their strength over other imitations and for their more labor-saving winding. It has always been a lucrative product in the Boreham military-industrial complex - but the Duchy has been reluctant to sell too much of Boreham for the sake of military balance. And in this regard, Boreham Collar can be regarded as sacrificing a lot for the overall situation.

"I promise that! The 'X' on the back doesn't just represent its model. It also shows that it is a legal weapon on the books. Barrett touched his chin as he said that. At least in the eyes of the Nohan kingdom and the pan-continental church. ”

"Tracking the Heavy Crossbow and the Quickfill Light Crossbow? I'm going to have to think about it. The noodles that said this quickly fell to the ground.

Both tracing and quickfill enchantments are equivalent to +1 strength. Therefore, whether it is the price of the traced heavy crossbow or the quick-fill light crossbow, it seems that the price is similar. Both are quoted on the reels at around 9,000 gold.

The tracing enchantment can only be attached to ranged weapons. When attacking a target with this weapon, there is no chance of a miss from taking cover - e.g. when the target is hidden. The holder still needs to aim at where the target is. However, weapons cannot hit invisible enemies that are invisible to the attacker, even if they are nearby.

This effect is a complete nightmare for enemies hiding in the bushes, behind a shooting hole, or taking cover with spells such as Hazy - with the exception of Barrett's fixed 'flash'. Because its effect is not a simple cover, but a dimensional movement.

The Quick Refill enchantment can only be reloaded on top of a special ranged weapon, such as the Crossbow. A quickfill crossbow has a dimensional space capable of holding 100 bolts, allowing the wielder to reload at a faster rate. Loading a quick-refill hand or light crossbow will give you a quick attack, but reloading a heavy crossbow is still a lot of effort to deal with the strings - which is why the quickfill-enchanted crossbow is always a light and hand crossbow. Because even if the problem of reloading is solved in the heavy crossbow, the restriction on winding is still not much improved.

Of course, different types of crossbows can be placed in that dimension at the same time, and the wielder can choose as many as he or she wants when loading. However, loading a crossbow arrow into dimensional space from the outside or taking a crossbow arrow from the inside into your hand is more difficult than just letting it into the design slot.

If you really want to compare these two crossbows, the former is more impressive in terms of single attack effect, while the latter is more focused on the continuity of attacks. There is no real superiority between the two sides, just different customers and needs.

The players in the room stared at the halfling wanderer in front of them, as if they were all waiting for the final answer. After some consideration, Noodle finally raised his head: "I'd better choose to quickly fill the light crossbow!" In terms of the current team, the ability to project a long-range strike with a larger amount is much more important than a single fixed-point sniper. That's the answer I got when I faced the Lucians. ”

"Noodles, you're right! That's exactly what we need at the moment. At this point, Barrett nodded. (To be continued......)
