Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 55 The vulture is not only a bird, but also a profession
It's just that you can have a dozen gems if you dismantle something that you don't have, and this transaction is not a loss!
If it weren't for Fang Qiuling's reminder, Old Tom would never have thought that there were so many gems hidden in the banner that was cut down as soon as he fought! With these gems, this "running business" will not lose!
This year is not good. If you have the opportunity to get some subsidies from other places, you must seize the opportunity. It's not for himself, old Tom feels that he has rough skin and thick meat, and it's okay to eat less or wear less. Eliza is such a lovely little girl, even if it is to buy her an extra winter dress and prepare an extra bite to eat for her people, old Tom is willing to try.
And with one, there must be two. Get another one like that to dismantle, and maybe get some gems out. You might be able to have a good time this winter!
Fang Qiuling touched his chin, his face full of seriousness.
"Daddy, you can really have it."
"Which? I'll go find it! ”
Fang Qiuling raised a finger: "Weapons, weapons for bone racks." ”
"Weapons?"
"Yes, weapons. There were two carriages stuffed with strong bone racks, both of which were armed with weapons. ”
"A more powerful bone frame? Do they have weapons? ”
Old Tom thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember that he had encountered a skeleton soldier with a weapon last night.
The lowest-level skeleton is a resurrected skeleton and is unarmed. If there are weapons, they also dismantle a rib of their own and use the rib as a weapon. In the game, this kind of skeleton soldier generally challenges the level below five, and belongs to the cannon fodder in cannon fodder. This is usually the kind of self-crawling out of abandoned graves, which has little combat effectiveness, and untrained farmers will be able to handle it if they have the courage to face it.
The kind of more powerful skeleton soldiers that Fang Qiuling said were the kind that were controlled by necromancers with a challenge level of around ten. This type of bone rack is referred to as the Skeleton Swordsman, Skeleton Gunner, and Skeleton Axe due to the weapon they hold, but players generally refer to this type of bone rack as the Skeleton Soldier. These armed skeletons are generally used to escort or perform specific missions, so the necromancers who operate them will give them some "maintenance" and armament. Maintenance refers to the use of negative energy to strengthen their bones, which in turn improves bone strength and strength.
"Didn't notice? If you don't pay attention, it's not a big deal. Fang Qiuling shrugged his shoulders, anyway, the fight was won, if you don't pay attention, you don't pay attention, "I killed several bone racks with weapons......" As he said that, he bent down and pulled out a few times on the ground, and a black long sword suddenly appeared in his hand, "See, this is it." The pattern of the Blood Thorn Vine, made of obsidian iron, is the standard longsword of Mamo of the Dark Country. ”
The Blood Thorn Vine is a bloodthirsty plant native to the Dark Nation of Mamo, and the craftsmen of Mamo forge the shape of this plant into their weapons as a decoration. Similar decorations are found in every country, such as Karthas which has an elongated moire.
"There should be quite a few weapons. Find a few more, look carefully, and make a small profit. Dad, this long sword is of good quality, what price can it buy, you should know better than me. ”
Buying a longsword of poor quality at a blacksmith costs about thirty silver coins, and thirty silver coins can be earned by a family of three for a month without eating or drinking in Lakesprings.
"The main material used is also obsidian, but not as much as the flagpole just now. Obsidian can only be smelted in Mamo, and the smelting process must be carried out in an environment full of negative energy. Elsewhere, there shouldn't be that. Because of the negative energy immersion in the smelting process, the color is black, which is not very good-looking. ”
Fang Qiuling swept his long sword, and then handed it to Old Tom casually.
After taking over, Old Tom also checked it, and also tried the strength of the long sword: "It can be used, as long as it can be sold for money." "He doesn't care about color, he's a pragmatist," anything else? In addition to weapons...... You, you probably fell in love with those broken carriages, did you? ”
"Of course not, I can't see a few pieces of broken wood...... However, I think I can dig through it, and maybe I'll find a few hidden compartments. The undead don't use carriages, and they must have stolen them from somewhere. They shouldn't notice if there's something in the dark grid. You might even get something valuable. ”
- The carriage is also a way to make a fortune, I just ignored it, sorry.
Although he had not yet reached the level of "black hand", Fang Qiuling knew that his luck had never been very good, so he could basically excuse himself when he was "blacker" than him. So for a while, I didn't think of the trick of "opening a dark grid" to make a fortune.
"The dark compartment of the carriage? Okay, I'll go find out! ”
Old Tom turned and ran. But before he had gone a few steps, he was back again.
"What's wrong?"
"Thulick, why do I think you're cheating on me!"
"Pit you? There is a chance to make a small amount of money, isn't it? ”
Old Tom's face twitched visibly, and the paladins on the side also touched their faces.
- Small money.
It's the first time I've heard someone call gold, silver, and copper coins so cute. It makes people feel speechless, which is really very mismatched.
But if you don't match, you won't match, the key is not this.
"Isn't this supposed to be a 'vulture'? How did it become that I did it? ”
"Vultures?"
Fang Qiuling raised his head slightly.
I didn't see this infamous scavenger bird flying in the sky. Also, Elune's big bird can actually ......
"I don't mean that big bird!" Old Tom knew what he was thinking when he saw Fang Qiuling's eyes looking into the sky, "I'm talking about people, I'm people!" ”
"Oh, you're talking about this ......"
Fang Qiuling reacted.
People with military experience call the guy who makes money on the battlefield and collects corpses "vultures", which is a very vivid metaphor. The "vultures" lived by selling the belongings of the deceased, and neither the soldiers nor the officers had a good opinion of them, believing that they were a bunch of men who drank the blood of soldiers, similar to tomb robbers. Although I will not fight to the death when I see it, it is inevitable to teach a lesson. If you don't stop your hands when you teach a lesson, you will be killed or maimed from time to time.
Fang Qiuling flipped over the silver. The behavior of the "vulture" to collect the corpse is indeed not very glorious, but there is still a big difference between looking for a dark grid on the carriage and collecting the corpse.
"Daddy, this is not collecting corpses, this is not making a fortune from the dead. We defeated the undead with dignity, and these are captured trophies. The wagons were but a fraction of the loot captured. It's normal to pick something valuable from the loot, okay. ”
"Spoils of war? Capture? ”
"Yes, that's right. Daddy participated in the banditry. How did the robbers deal with it? If you catch it, you should hang it directly. If the robbers' stockade is broken, what should be done with the gold, silver, jewelry, cloth and grain in the stockade? There are also livestock such as cattle and horses. ”
"All moving back, of course."
"How do you divide it when you move back?"
"Half and half, of course. Turn in half of it, and keep the other half for us to divide ourselves. ”
"That's not it. The robber stockade was taken down, and the contents were all booty. Move back in peace of mind. Fang Qiuling clapped his hands and pointed to the carriage in the distance, "The undead were killed by us. The materials left behind by these undead are undoubtedly also trophies. Nothing is wrong, right? ”
Old Tom stopped talking. Fang Qiuling really didn't have any problem defining the nature of the carriage in this way.
"There are more loot, and they are a little broken, and the value is not very high. In addition, we don't have enough manpower, and it is time-consuming and laborious to move back, and the small amount of money we get is not hard enough. Definitely lose. Then most of these broken carriages will not be brought back, right? It's just a bit of broken wood, and if you want to bring it back from the Morey Trail, I don't know how much time it will take. Since you don't plan to move them all back, it's not too much to take away those valuable, valuable things inside, right? The rest of the corners are gone. ”
Old Tom touched his beard and was silent.
"We have won the undead, and we are all destroyed! It is only natural to pick the spoils of war among the seizures. We pick out the remaining corners and corners and find valuable things and sell them, this kind of 'vulture'. We are victors, not 'vultures'. ”
Although Fang Qiuling's words were reasonable, Old Tom always felt that something was wrong, and the direction of the topic seemed to be a little biased. But now that you've got the idea of finding loot on the undead to subsidize your family, don't pick and choose.
“…… Okay, you have a point. ”
The outlook on life and values established at a young age often become the standard for living in the world. Tom Sr. served in the Order of Knights in his early years, and although there were not enough merits during his service to earn him the title of knight, chivalry left a deep mark on his heart.
Collecting loot on the battlefield is something that the knight does not cut and do, thinking that it is a loss of identity, and naturally there will be servants in the military area. Although Old Tom does not have a knighthood, he is infinitely close to a knight in values. Wandering around the battlefield like a "vulture" to collect war power, Old Tom is actually resistant in his heart. So it is not so much that he was persuaded by Fang Qiuling, but that he was convinced by reality.
For example, there are four paladins around to watch the excitement. They just watched the excitement, and asked them to receive the loot themselves, and they definitely didn't do it. Paladins do not have knightly titles, but their social status is no less than that of the lower nobles who hold knightly titles. It's a noble lord, don't expect them to be able to do these "dirty and rough work".
Lily seemed to be a little interested in the obsidian weapon that Qiu Ling was talking about, and walked around the camp on tiptoe. After a while, she returned with three black swords.
The three long swords looked good, there was not a single gap in the blade, and the sword body exuded a faint cold light.
Fang Qiuling couldn't help but take a few more looks. This move made Lily misunderstand, thinking that Fang Qiuling also wanted it. Then she graciously handed over a long sword.
"Oh, take it."
Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Fang Qiuling obediently took the long sword and asked very casually, "Why are you interested in this thing." ”
"My sword is broken," Lily pursed her lips, "I found it just when I was sorting out my gear." A large part of the upper part of the blade melted, so I knocked it a little harder, and then it broke. Now just get a few long swords and make do with them first. ”
"Melted?"
Lily's description made Fang Qiuling immediately think of the fate card Sword of Fire.
The Enchanted Power of the Sword of Fire is bound by the Destiny Card, which manifests itself as a raging flame wrapped around the sword and a flame wing that spreads out behind it. However, the second-level power is a power that cannot be fully controlled by Lily, who is still in the black iron rank, and the uncontrollable power will inevitably produce backlash. The result of the backlash did not act directly on Lily, but on the cross sword in her hand.
"Well, it's melted. It must be because of the flame you added to me! ”
The cross swords in Lily's hands were forged by the craftsmen of the Temple of Eros, and they all had certain demon-breaking qualities, which belonged to low-level magic weapons. This weapon had been with Lily for years, and she had no idea that it would melt one day.
"It should be, it's the problem of the 'Sword of Fire'......"
Fang Qiuling honestly admitted it, in exchange for a cold snort from Lily.
"Humph! Bad wizards, evil wizards! Say, how are you going to compensate me. ”
"This ......"
"I don't have high requirements, just give me this flame I used yesterday."
Lily's big eyes were full of cunning.
Fang Qiuling had just broken through, and it could be said that she had broken through under her nose. It is certainly impossible to say that this flame power is a spell ability or a natural ability obtained after a breakthrough. Most of the time it's an effect added to a magic item. If you decisively get your hands on this magic prop, your strength will be significantly improved!
“…… Ma'am, you're too greedy, aren't you? This is the secret of the Norn family, if you want it...... You have to be a member of the Norn family. ”
The Destiny Card is the final hole card, and it certainly can't be given to Lily. Just find a reason to refuse her. As for the fusion of the cross sword, although it can be basically determined that it is a side effect caused by the enchantment of the fate card • Sword of Fire, it is actually very far-fetched to blame Fang Qiuling. Without the Sword of Fire for Lily to gain the power to dominate the battle in a short period of time, the balance of victory might eventually tip in favor of the undead. If the undead are victorious, then everything will be meaningless.
"Humph! Cheapskate! Lily stuck out her tongue and grimaced, "Also, they're still young, not old enough to be called 'ma'am.'" ”
"Oh, got it, ma'am. Got it, ma'am. As you wish, ma'am. ”
"You!"
Lily glared angrily, like a kitten that had been stepped on its tail.
- This stinky guy's mouth is so cheap! Sooner or later, he's going to be sealed!
Fang Qiuling also glared back without showing weakness.
- I'm afraid you won't make it!
The two looked at each other "affectionately" for a while, and Fang Qiuling was quickly defeated. It's not that his eyes are sour, but he suddenly realizes that such a move is full of ambiguity
Lily had a smug smile on her face - win! She then launched a second offensive.
"If you want that flame, you have to be a member of the Norn family, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
This "secret method" is decisively pushed to the inheritance of the nobility, proper.
Lily's voice suddenly changed and became full of temptation: "Honey, when are you going to marry me?" ”
Fang Qiuling's feet slipped, and he immediately fled.
