Chapter 63: First of all, you have to sell your teammates
"We've had a very bad start."
Luo Feng said eloquently: "Except for the weakened ability, we have nothing on us except this uniform, and the world of the Faren Continent is a world that eats equipment very much, and the weaker with good equipment can also defeat the strong without equipment." ”
The three players and one of the balls all nodded, having also learned about it at the training center.
In the turbulent years of the Faren Continent, a mortal Shirek could kill a god with powerful divine power with a god-killing sword, which shows the power of equipment bonuses.
"We must first arm ourselves with magical equipment, otherwise it will be tantamount to suicide to intervene in any battle." Luo Feng continued: "Presumably, you don't want to suffer heavy casualties in the early stage of the mission because of poor equipment. ”
The team members nodded frequently, and Tang Xiaotian's perception of Luo Feng in his heart was reversed again, although his face was extremely hateful when he gave himself a horse, but after entering the mission world, he really looked like a captain, showing due leadership, which was very reliable.
Maybe I shouldn't have been willful at the beginning, as a newcomer, I should obey the captain's command, think about it from another perspective, if I become the captain, don't I also like the team members who don't have outstanding ability but do their own thing.
Actually, I misunderstood him, right? How could that majestic figure who had been wandering in his heart for three years be a tyrant with a short temper and absurd behavior?
Thinking like this, Tang Xiaotian's beautiful thoughts that burned into ashes in his heart revived, and there was a little more admiration in his eyes when he looked at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng continued: "We are poorer than the beggars in the port area of Ascatra now, and we don't want to find a way to earn some gold coins, and we can't even sleep in the stables of the Crooked Crane Inn in the city gate area tonight. The city doesn't let us stay on the streets, so we can't camp outside the city, right? The monsters outside the city are not weak, and it will be lively when they encounter a few teams of gnoll robbers in the middle of the night. ”
Tang Xiaotian actively raised his hand and proposed, "There are many thieves in the city, let's go and kill a few thieves to earn gold coins." ”
"No, no, no." Luo Feng shook his finger: "Don't underestimate the difficulty of this world, even if it is a gang of thieves in the city, there are mages who know how to confuse the technique, the human fixation technique, the berserk charm, the charm of the human being, and the fear technique." ”
Luo Feng pointed at himself and said, "I have a relatively high level and have a strong immunity to spiritual magic, but what about the three of you?" If you run around with a spiritual spell and are backstabbed by a thief hiding in the shadows, you'll be properly dead, and I still have to carry your corpse to complete the investigation mission, and return to Liberty City to spend a lot of research points to resurrect you, which is really worth the loss. ”
The main god investigator cannot be resurrected by the resurrection technique of the priest of the Faren Continent, the investigator is an extraterrestrial creature of the crystal wall system, and he needs the legendary spell "Resurrection of Alien Creature" to be resurrected, but the priest of the Faren Continent does not have this ability, and he also needs the help of the gods.
He said helplessly: "I don't dare to let you leave my side, just rely on the combat effectiveness of your group of weak chickens, out of my sight, accidentally being knocked on by human traffickers and put on a sack and sold to the entertainment venues of Deep Water City as slaves, whether it is the red-robed mage who drags the thunder will be used as an experiment in the laboratory, I don't know how to save it." ”
The city of Ascatra is a real stronghold of traffickers, located in a large house with the eaves of a ship in the slums, called the slave ship warden, which is inhabited by many thieves and a number of mages.
The red-robed mage also haunts the city of Askatra, specializing in capturing some people with unique physique and bringing them back to the laboratory for human experiments, and Nina, the mad mage in the enhanced version of Baldur's Gate 2, rescued a little girl who was targeted by the red-robed mage as soon as she appeared.
The red-robed mage's secret stronghold was on the eastern platform of the Workin Temple's market area, disguised as a magic supply store, less than three hundred yards away from Luo Feng's team, who were holding a small meeting to discuss.
Tang Xiaotian, Io, Klein and Zhang Daniu are the best experiments in the eyes of the red-robed mages, magical creatures from outside the crystal wall system, with unique abilities and talents, how can they be worthy of the red-robed mages' unremitting pursuit of exploring the "truth of magic" and all mysteries without slicing and studying?
The Red-robed Mage Guild is a behemoth, with 1,000 high-level red-robed mages and 4,000 trainee mages, and the gods with weak divine power are afraid to provoke this group of semi-militarized arcanists all over the continent of Faeron.
In case these people were really captured, Luo Feng would not be able to endure a war with five thousand Arcanists, and he would not be able to save them if he wanted to.
Klein said with a bitter face: "What can we do, we can't even beat the thieves in the city, and we have no place to sleep at night, I didn't expect the first investigation mission to encounter this kind of hellish difficulty, can we only hide and wait for the protagonist to complete the main story and open the door to get out of space, and return to Liberty City without doing anything?" ”
Io, who was holding him in his arms, interjected: "This is not good, if we do this, the investigation rating will be very low, the first mission will be rated as unqualified, we will be deprived of the investigator qualification, and in the future we will have to work as a logistics staff or join the combat committee, or worse, we will be assessed as extremely incompetent, and we will even be expelled from Liberty City by washing our memories." ”
Faced with such a bleak prospect, several team members frowned, and even the magical aura emitted by Io's soul orb dimmed a little.
"Don't worry too much, take it one step at a time, and the problem will always be solved. Our primary goal is to earn our first pot of gold to buy magic gear. ”
Luo Feng comforted the team members and said: "The Vorjin Temple Bazaar where we are located is one of the best trading areas in the Faren Continent, and the magic items and equipment sold here are richer than the treasures of the dragon's lair of dozens of dragons, as long as we have money, we can change the whole team into a set of sophisticated magic equipment, and we can also deal with some low-intensity battles." ”
Hearing the captain say this, the team members rekindled their confidence and looked at him expectantly, hoping that he would give guidance.
"It's a pity that my storage space can't be opened, or we'll make a fortune if we don't just take out some goods and sell them to the caravan." Luo Feng sighed and said: "Now we are penniless, and our combat effectiveness is extremely weak, so we can only sell ourselves if we want to." ”
"Sell yourself?"
Tang Xiaotian frowned and said, "Captain, do you mean to let us work here?" ”
"How many copper plates can I earn from a part-time job, and how many lifetimes will it take to earn enough money to buy a piece of magic equipment?" Luo Feng shook his head and said, "What I mean is literally. ”
Tang Xiaotian's face turned red, and he said angrily: "How can there be a captain who forces the team members to engage in that kind of industry, they are still yellow flower girls, I would rather die than do that kind of thing!" ”
"Why is your little girl's mind so complicated?" Luo Feng frowned in disgust: "Am I that kind of person?" When I say sell myself, I mean selling Io, it's a very good commodity, if it works properly, it can sell at least tens of thousands of gold coins, and with tens of thousands of gold coins to buy equipment, all of us can be armed to the teeth. ”
"Oh......" Tang Xiaotian suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "Indeed, immunity to confusion and charm, it can also greatly improve its attributes, it comes with an identification technique, you can chat with the master to relieve boredom when you have nothing to do, it is really a strange thing, comparable to an artifact." ”
The rest of the team also breathed a sigh of relief, especially Klein.
"So that's what the captain meant, it does sound very reasonable!"
"I'm relieved."
Everyone was relieved and chattered.
"The captain is wise, I have long said that the captain is experienced and good at solving difficulties...... Wait......"
Halfway through Ai's ass, the electronic voice suddenly sharpened: "There is no bug in my language parsing system, are you going to sell me?" ”
Tang Xiaotian patted Io's round head and said regretfully: "This is also something that can't be helped, we are teammates, we should help each other, you are so enthusiastic, just make a small sacrifice for everyone, I wish you to find a suitable master." ”
