Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 59 Those with wings are not necessarily angels
"Drive! Drive! ”
Leaving Lianhe Fort, the group immediately galloped wildly.
Lianhe Fort searched inside and out. Although the search process is certainly not very careful, it is normal to miss the dark room or something. On the surface, there are zero valuable clues, but the original purpose was just to take a casual look and look for some clues on the surface, not to dig three feet into the ground here. I didn't see the orcs, and I didn't see the undead, so this time it was basically equivalent to running for nothing.
As for those paintings, they should actually be counted as accidents within accidents. It's completely the "cheap" of the player's identity, and it was discovered inadvertently. However, if Fang Qiuling was not at the scene, it is estimated that Old Tom and Ms. Mogre would not have noticed. Even if they do, they are not Adventists, and are unaware that there is a series of quests in the game Elune called "The True Source of Disease". It is impossible to find out that the last heir of the Rice family has actually become a necromancer who studies the "dark arts".
Fang Qiuling was indeed drilling the tip of the horns, but after drilling through the horns, he really found something.
Les Pukelt, the corpse collector, is not a big name among players, but he is also a boss that needs to be farmed several times. Not to mention dropping the top three goodies, he also drops the belt of the level forty-five class set, as well as several intermediate skills.
The positioning of the level forty-five professional suit is not embarrassing, the improvement of combat effectiveness is not very obvious, and the way to get started is relatively easy. However, at level 47, the player will receive the first epic quest, and after completing it, they will receive a level 50 epic piece of equipment. This epic piece of equipment is positioned at the head, which conflicts with the level forty-five class set. The effect of the class set with the head removed will be greatly reduced, so the player's usual choice is ...... Epic gear. As a result, the level 45 class set becomes less necessary, but you can get it if you have time. After all, it can also improve combat effectiveness to some extent, but the improvement is very limited.
For skill books with multiple intermediate skills, other dungeons will also drop. Not the only drop. It doesn't matter if you don't have your favorite skill book, you can use the skill book to swap it with other players.
Taken together, the praise of the undead in the dungeon is about the same if it is brushed five or six times, and any more brushing is a waste of time. Of course, necromancer players want to steal the dagger, so keep up the good work. Thirty times or less is considered lucky.
Although he had already ridden his horse and left, Fang Qiuling still had doubts. The biggest question is why the orcs didn't come to Lianhe Fort to "set up camp".
By the standards of orcs, the broken eaves of Lianhe Fort can already be regarded as a treasure of feng shui.
There are many shelters in the castle. The main building of the castle has largely not collapsed, and there are many places to live in the annex building and the city walls. It can be said that except for the parts destroyed in the early offensive and defensive battles, the rest of the place is well preserved. The Rice family must have put a lot of effort into building the castle back then, and the granite stones used were quite good.
There is a water source in the castle. There are not only several wells, but also a pond. The pond has never been dry, and it should be that there is an underground waterway connecting the tributaries of the Lian River outside the castle, but no one has taken care of it all the year round, and it looks disgusting, it is all green, and there are a lot of duckweed floating on it. However, the orcs should not pay attention to this, they should drink it correctly, and maybe the duckweed on it will be chewed directly as a side dish.
There is firewood in the castle, so you don't have to go out of your way to cut it in the surrounding forest. Abandoned furniture, wood, and sawdust everywhere can be used to burn. Chopping wood is a "funless" job that the orcs absolutely resist, preferring to lie on the ground and be lazy rather than work to improve the quality of life.
Just look at the lumber yard that was cleared before. The small three-room wooden house, coupled with several open sheds around it, actually attracted more than thirty orcs. And Lianhe Fort is very good, the conditions can be described as a superior place, the orc did not bring his younger brother goblin and second brother kobold to come over to "declare sovereignty", or "worship" with the eldest brother ogre and the third brother troll, it is really very unexpected.
Fang Qiuling secretly guessed: Is there some unknown secret hidden in this long-abandoned castle, so that the dark creatures can't avoid it?
The undead in the world are a family. The self-taught Les Pukelt is also a necromancer, so he naturally joined the Dark Country of Mamo, and Lianhe Fort became an enclave of Mamo in Calthus, and a place for necromancers to study the "dark arts". A dark room underground, maybe several times more terrifying than the most vicious haunted house?
However, if this is the case, it is essential that there is a dungeon or scene battlefield in the game. But very strangely, there are only a few investigation missions related to Lianhe Fort, there are no dungeons, and there are no scene battlefields.
Investigation missions are the last thing players want to accept, because they are very troublesome and the benefits are not high. Not only do you need to send letters everywhere, but you also need to hand over a large amount of money from time to time to purchase various mission props. Except for the first player to complete the investigation mission, which can gain a lot of reputation, other players often complete the task in a circle, and have a small amount of money, but a lot of gold coins.
With the end of the First Kuroshio War, most of the land of Mist Lake was reduced to the underworld. Lianhe Fort has become the hinterland of Mamo, and there are few people on it. The investigation was also cancelled.
- Most of the task lines of the investigation missions involving Lianhe Fort did not advance to the final stage, resulting in the plot of Lianhe Fort not being able to continue, and then the dungeon and scene battlefield were not opened.
If the copy of Lianhe Fort is opened, who will be behind the final mastermind of the copy? Fang Qiuling was a little curious.
Quickly going through the strong man of Mamo's "name and surname" in his heart, Fang Qiuling quickly marked the names of many puppet masters under the command of the puppet master Yurandi Ahmed.
"Lady Mogre, I remember you searched the upper floors of the castle, right?"
"Yes."
Fang Qiuling gently tugged on the reins, causing the mount to slow down slightly, keeping pace with Lady Mogre.
"Ma'am, do you see one of those larger statues on the upper floor of the castle? That...... Strange-looking, ferocious monsters, or winged monsters, or a large statue that looks like a mechanical outer armor? ”
Strange-looking, fierce-looking monsters - they are all monsters, will they be amiable in appearance, will they be so kind? There is no such thing as a "cute monster".
Winged Monsters - In addition to birds, there are actually many species that have wings and are called monsters by humans, such as griffons and bipedal wyverns. Dragons can also be classified among them.
Mechanical Outer Armor - What is it? Never heard of it.
There are really a lot of slots in Fang Qiuling's words. Perhaps it was an illusion, Fang Qiuling seemed to see Lady Mogre roll her eyes very covertly. But then Ms. Moghley was quick to give an answer.
“…… No. ”
Fang Qiuling was not entangled, turned his head and yelled at Old Tom, "Dad, have you seen it?" I remember you went to the basement and came out with two bottles of wine. ”
"Nope! The basement is empty enough to walk the horses, and there is no fart! Also, which eye did you see me digging out of the wine! ”
Old Tom was extremely angry at Fang Qiuling's remarks.
- Am I such an alcoholic? Even if there was wine in the basement, it would be all in my stomach when it came out! I won't show you!
"Lily, what about you? And Shino? ”
The white unicorn dragged Shino and Lily closer.
Shino shook his head, indicating that he hadn't seen it. Lily tilted her head slightly and asked, "You probably mean, that kind of strange statue, right?" ”
"Yes, it's fierce, it's scary, it's scary."
"Uh......" Lily also rolled her eyes, Fang Qiuling's adjective was really not very good, "Does the big statue on the city wall count?" And does the large statue on the outside of the castle count? ”
"The Great Statue? What does it look like? ”
Lily recalled, then said, "It's the same color as the city wall, and it has a pair of big wings. I didn't see the others, but they were on top of the collapsed bell tower, which was relatively high. ”
Fang Qiuling was silent for a while, then stretched out his hand, and a small image appeared on his palm.
"Isn't that what it looks like?"
The image is of a crouching gargoyle with bat-like wings and sharp claws. The most obvious feature is the gargoyle's tail, which is split into three at the end, as if it were a trident.
"That's right! That's what it looks like, but I think it's like it's still holding a weapon or an axe. ”
The image on Fang Qiuling's palm was slightly distorted, and he soon had an axe.
"Ahh That's right, this is it. Same. The image on Fang Qiuling's palm was so accurate that Lily instantly had a bad premonition, "What's wrong?" Isn't it the dripping beak that adorns the bell tower? ”
The taller buildings of the castle are usually adorned with several dripping mouths. According to the current Fang Qiuling's hometown, this kind of decoration is for "town house" and "evil spirit".
"Of course not! Didn't you think this dripping mouth beast was a bit too big when you saw it? ”
"I really didn't pay attention. It's just a glance, and it's farther away......"
Lily had a wry look on her face. It can't be said that it was a disaster, but it must be careless.
"It's a gargoyle."
Lady Mogre also looked at the image in Fang Qiuling's hand, and immediately recognized this construct, which was not actually a living being.
"Yes, and it's a high-end goods with axes! Oh, we've won the lottery! ”
Gargoyles are constructs, lifeless, and resemble semi-intelligent machines. Even if the person who created it is a necromancer who studies the dark arts, since the gargoyle itself has no will, evil spells will have no effect on it.
"Does Roque Barreto Silva know? The Pale Lord of one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Mamo. He has a group of lunatics who specialize in constructs. This axe gargoyle is their crowning work, and it is said to be very powerful, even stronger than the steel gargoyle of Serag! ”
The Magic City of Seragher also has a group of wizards who specialize in constructs. Instead of traditional stone gargoyles, they tried to make metal gargoyles by replacing the relatively brittle stone with hard metal. And the Steel Gargoyles are their masterpiece, claiming to be the strongest construct. Of course, manufacturing is also the most expensive.
"Are you sure?"
Old Tom's face changed.
The steel gargoyle of the Seragher is very famous, and the old Tom in the "poor country" knows about it. Being able to be compared to the Steel Gargoyle means that it will be no less powerful than the Black Iron Peak in terms of combat power.
"As long as Lily is not mistaken, then you can be sure! Which dripping beast have you ever seen with a weapon in their hands? And the tail is trident-like? ”
"I've never seen ......"
Lily also nodded repeatedly: "I read that right, it's like this." Actually, when I first saw it, I thought it was a bit big, but it was far away, and I thought it might be so big, so I didn't pay attention to it. ”
Compared to the veteran paladin Lady Mogre, Lily is still relatively young, and she is not very experienced in all aspects.
"I remember that gargoyles are supposed to be able to fly?" Old Tom looked back, "Isn't it okay for this thing to come after you in a moment?" ”
It was almost noon again. Today's sky is thick and slightly overcast, and there is a feeling that rain is about to fall, but you can still see far away. There are no fast-moving black dots as far as the eye can see, which makes everyone slightly reassured.
"It's better not to chase after it, this thing is very troublesome!"
Gargoyles, as the name suggests, are made of stone. The stone used to make a gargoyle can be a normal stone, but after being magically treated, the ordinary stone becomes unusual. There are many ways to deal with stone, and different schools have their own different methods and secret recipes, but the purpose of the treatment is basically the same, to make the stone harder and more wear-resistant.
So it's best to use heavy or blunt weapons against gargoyles. It's not impossible to use a sword, as long as it's sharp enough, you can still cut it in two. However, since the weapon is sharp enough to cut the gargoyle in two, then the gargoyle alone does not pose any threat, and it is the same with any weapon.
I don't know if the gargoyle chased after him, but in order to avoid the gargoyle catching up, the group silently sped up the horse. The original plan to take a break at noon and eat some dry food or something was canceled directly. Take advantage of the current peace and rush to the Morey Trail early.
The scenery in front of me has begun to feel familiar, and the tracks of horseshoe prints and carriages have appeared in front of you. Apparently it wasn't so long ago that the caravan had just passed through here. It shouldn't be far from the Morey Trail.
Fang Qiuling looked back at the sky from time to time.
On the one hand, he prayed that the gargoyle would not appear. On the other hand, I hope that the gargoyle will appear sooner, so there is no need to be so scared.
Mo Fei's Law: If there is a chance that something will go bad, no matter how small that likelihood, it will always happen.
So this gargoyle will come sooner or later! Since most of them can't be avoided, it's better to come early and send it back to nature as soon as possible!
As if in response to Fang Qiuling's prayers, the rapidly approaching black shadow finally appeared on the skyline. And what is frightening is that there is not only one black shadow, but three!
"Damn! We won the lottery! ”
