YM778.TV Chapter 73
The mining cart slowly stopped on an empty moon platform.
The driver yawned and kicked the door open.
He was about to call the newbie to unload the goods.
However, when he looked over, the second carriage was already empty.
The driver rubbed his eyes.
After a while, he rolled up his sleeves while cursing.
..
Death omen village.
Between the rising and falling Hills, there were terrifying tentacles.
Even the fearless bandits would choose to quietly avoid these tentacles when they encountered them.
In between the barracks.
There were some Sentry posts on duty.
A fierce-looking Bandit left his post with a yawn.
While the patrolling officer was not around.
He sneaked into the forest to the left of the Barrack.
He quickly pulled out a crudely-made cigarette from his belt and put it in his mouth. Then he skillfully lit the cigarette with a Flint.
Huu.
He blew out a smoke ring.
His entire body felt much more comfortable.
Rustling sounds came from the forest behind him.
He turned around and saw a member of the fierce Dragon group.
“Good brother, excuse cigarette.”
That person was all smiles.
“Get lost ...”
Before he could scold her impatiently ...
An excruciating pain came from his crotch!
A piece of sackcloth was skillfully used to block his mouth.
His eyes instantly turned bloodshot ...
The branches outside the thicket trembled for a while and then stopped moving.
After a short while.
A Bandit wearing the uniform of the Raven crossing group swaggered out of the bushes and walked towards the barracks.
When they passed the Sentry post.
One of the guards glanced at him and didn’t look at him anymore.
Roger let out a sigh of relief.
He quickened his pace.
..
After entering death omen village.
Roger found an opportunity to leave the mining car.
Judging from the time.
It had been more than a day since he single-handedly destroyed the stronghold in Capone Manor.
In the situation where he was not sure about the intelligence transmission efficiency of the Brotherhood of red sleeves, it might be risky to continue.
And according to his observation.
The defense of death omen village was a classic example of being tight on the outside but loose on the inside.
Barracks stood in between the hills.
There were about three to four hundred bandits coming and going, so it was not difficult to fish in troubled waters.
His current target was the second leader of the Brotherhood of red sleeves.
He was the boss of the Raven crossing group.
A spellcaster named ” Capella.
After interrogating a few bandits who were alone, Roger confirmed two very important pieces of information.
The first message.
The death omen village headquarters did not know what had happened at Capone Manor.
This meant that Roger’s recommendation letter and the identity of the female assassin ” Vicky ” could still be used.
The second message.
...
The Brotherhood of red sleeves was at war with the gray dwarves.
It was said that he had been fighting for several months.
The Battlefront was pulled from the underground city in the eastern part of the great wetlands to the surface in the Northwest of Hall countryside.
A week ago.
The grey dwarves “attacks suddenly became fierce.
The leader of the Brotherhood Alliance had to go to the front line to supervise the battle.
Therefore, the current leader of death omen village was the second-in-command, Capella.
In other words.
As long as Capella was killed, death omen village would fall into a situation of a group of Dragons without a leader!
That was the scene Roger was most happy to see.
..
...
In the evening.
In the Raven camp.
In the barracks to the North.
A stern middle-aged man was quickly copying down a scroll under the illumination of the candle.
Under the quill pen was a shocking blood color.
Even though the smell of blood had been deliberately diluted by several spices sprayed in the barracks, the smell of blood was still very strong.
However, the buckets of human blood on the desk still silently showed the man’s evil deeds.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Capella raised her eyebrows in displeasure.
“What is it?”
His expression was very gloomy and cold, as if as long as the other party could not give a reason, he would punish them.
“My Lord, a brother said that he has a treasure to offer to you!”
The servant’s voice came from outside the door.
This meant that, in his opinion, Capella would definitely like this treasure.
“Let him in,”
Capella was a little interested.
After a short while.
A slippery-looking Bandit walked in with a black object in his arms.
“My Lord, look!”
“I’ve found the thing you’ve put a bounty on!”
The man was excited.
“Gargoyle statue?”
Capella’s eyelids twitched, and she suddenly shouted in a cold voice, ”
“Stand there and don’t move!”
The bandit was confused, but he was tactful. He stood where he was and slowly raised the gargoyle statue above his head.
Capella quietly opened the drawer and took out an appraisal scroll.
There was a slapping sound.
The scroll was torn open.
A light yellow arcane rune flashed.
Capella immediately heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a look of joy.
“Let me see!”
The man handed the statue over without a word.
Capella took the statue with a smile.
The next second.
The gargoyle’s wings moved slightly.
Capella’s heart sank.
It was hard to tell the order in which the ‘feeling of pain’ and the ‘loss of consciousness’ happened.
Roger’s ” knee strike ” and the gargoyle’s ” anus ” landed on him almost at the same time!
The poor mage slowly went limp.
The smell of blood in the barracks became a little stronger.
..
[ you have killed Capella (human mage/elite) ]
[ you have gained 36 XP. ]
[ you have received 44 chivalry points. ]
[ you have received agility shards *9 (quest item) ]
[ obtaining the reward of the ‘kill order’. .. ]
[ you have obtained Capella’s specialty-quick spellcasting;[ this specialization has been verified as an invalid specialization. Do you wish to convert it into an effective specialization? ]
..
Roger chose ” yes ” without hesitation.
..
[ you have obtained a new specialty-element passiveness ]
[ a talent that is close to the ability (devouring blade) has been detected. Do you wish to combine it? ]
..
“Hmm, similar specializations can be combined?”
Roger thought for a while and chose ‘confirm’.
After the fusion, the attributes of the spell devouring blade changed.
..
Richard’s magic devouring blade (Level 3 specialty):You can choose a weapon and allow it to gain the ‘devouring magic divine weapon’ characteristic in close combat;
[ magic devouring divine weapon (new): every attack has a 3% chance of permanently stealing the enemy’s mana and storing it. When the mana is full,’magic critical strike’ can be launched (magic critical strike has a higher damage to the weapon itself) ]
Every attack will cause the elements in the target’s area to become blunt. The more time passes, the more severe the bluntness becomes. The upper limit of element bluntness in the same area is 33%.
..
The improvement was still quite obvious.
The 3% increase in the mana drawing effect was already a great improvement.
The effect of [ element passiveness ] made Roger’s eyes light up.
This thing could greatly reduce a mage’s casting speed.
Cutting off 33% of the elements meant that in order to gather the elements to the original level, the spellcaster needed to increase his casting power by 50%.
It was a pity.
The devouring blade didn’t match Roger’s current fighting style.
He didn’t seem to be very suited for a prolonged battle.
In Roger’s current fighting style, there was no way he could win.
Only the martial artist system could barely match the effect of the spell devouring blade.
if it can withstand the negative effects of the ‘violent gloves’, this weapon will be the best tool for the devouring blade.
Roger thought with some regret.
..
It was true that the easy instant kill of Capella was the result of a deliberate and unintentional plan.
However, the gargoyle’s existence also played a huge role.
In fact, when Capella took out the appraisal scroll just now ...
Roger almost wanted to level up.
Who knew that the gargoyle could actually withstand the effect of the appraisal technique?
The result that Capella had probably seen was something like [ gargoyle statue (forbidden item)(locked) ].
Roger couldn’t help but look at the gargoyles in a different light.
After repeatedly checking with the aura-gazing technique.
Only then did he see this fellow’s hidden attributes.
That was the third characteristic of gargoyles!
..
[ trait 3: good at Learning ]
[ good at learning: elite gargoyles have a strong learning ability, especially good at imitating; ]You can also gain experience in battle and form new skills. ]
[ mastered skills: camouflage, beastlike combat techniques ]
..
your disguise points are quite high. You actually passed the appraisal.
“But ... What the hell do you mean by good at imitating?”
Roger’s expression was a little complicated.
Looking at these numbers, he felt like he was the target of the gargoyles ‘love for toussy.
However, when he saw the last line ...
Roger couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
Tao gan was listed as ” beastlike combat technique ” by the system.
This meant that the other party had another master.
It wasn’t Roger’s fault.
..
After killing Capella, the promotion mission was more than half completed.
Roger did a detailed search of the barracks as usual.
In any case, no one would dare to come in for a while.
The most common thing Roger found on Capella was a kind of blood-colored scroll.
It was rare that the aura observation technique could not identify it.
It probably wasn’t anything serious.
Roger chose to accept all of them.
The second was money.
Roger found about one gold plate worth of coins in the Barrack.
Immediately after.
He found an identical gargoyle statue on Capella’s bookshelf.
The aura observation technique showed that it had not been unsealed.
It seemed that Capella was still quite careful.
“Eh? What is this?”
Roger curiously grabbed a blue stone next to the statue.
..
[ heart of frost (construct core) ]
[ description: can increase the quality of constructs/magical beasts ]
..
Roger shot a glance at it.
The gargoyle sprawled on the ground, its eyes filled with desire.
Roger threw the gemstone over without a word.
The latter instinctively swallowed the [ frozen heart ] into its stomach.
A few seconds later.
It flapped its wings and flew over.
He opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, spitting out the gemstone!
Roger smiled.
Satisfied, he stroked the gargoyle’s bald head.
“Let’s eat,”
“I’m in a hurry,” he urged.
Only then did the gargoyle swallow the frozen heart.
An ice-cold aura rose from its body.
It didn’t take long for him to return to normal.
..
[ the quality of your servant: elite gargoyle has been upgraded. ]
..
[ frost gargoyle: level 35 magical beast/elite ]
..
