Chapter 70. Another Civilization
"My hero! Do you want me to loot the corpse?"
"Don't, let me do it."
Char refused this time.
He wanted to prove himself!
"Come, my beloved little dagger!"
Char held onto the dagger in Doom's hand and felt like he had grasped onto hope!
However, he only took one look before his smile disappeared from his face.
It was just like how the light of the ancient magical dagger had faded.
[Ordinary Dagger: a weapon that could be seen everywhere.]
F*ck!
"Damn it. Why?
"I just want one for my collection!
"The highest difficulty out-of-village quest, and it's a three-person difficulty at that. Why?"
Char's stomach was filled with anger, and he reached out in disbelief.
Eh?
He took out a belt and a strange-looking lunchbox.
Looking at the two items, Char's expression was complicated.
[A metal buckle (belt) that is stuck into the flesh]
[Equipment]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt[Dislike Dryness: In a dry environment, you're not at your best state (Negative effects that affect attributes double in effect).]
[Moisture Affinity: You can always maintain your best state in a wet environment! (Any negative effects can only reduce your status to 90% at most).]
[Experience Pain: -1 HP per hour because the it has pierced into the flesh.]
"Tremble, creation of flesh and blood!"
[Victor (Gun)]
[Equipment]
[Current durability 84%.]
[Damage: 32.]
[Firing rate: 20 rounds/second.]
[It required 7 Constitution and 7 strength.]
"Tremble, creation of flesh and blood!"
There were too many things to complain about, and for a moment, he had mixed feelings.
It was not good to say these two, but these words were against his conscience. The spoils of war were worthy of the difficulty of this mission. Not to mention whether the equipment from the mechanical civilization could be used, just selling it as an antique on the black market would be worth a large sum of money. It could be considered extremely good. He did his best normally and did not break up with the black market.
However, Char could not bring herself to say that.
In short, he was trembling all over. On such a hot day, his entire body was covered in cold sweat, and his hands and feet were cold. Could this f*cking system be better? It would rather give him this level of loot than give his beloved little dagger. Was it easy for him to want a collectible?
Char was still depressed when the others came over.
Rylai caressed the two equipment, which was obviously different from the magical world, and was very curious about them.
"Oh! I know this gun! Victor!"
Apple Pie was suddenly so excited that she could not control herself.
"You know Victor?" Char asked curiously. "Don't tell me it's Player Unknown's Battleground?"
"Girls at the front line! My hair is as long as hers! I like her the most! My hero, can you give me this gun?"
Char sized her up, and no matter how she looked at her, she seemed to like girls.
"If you like it, then take it. It's just a luxurious decoration. After all, you don't have any bullets to replace it."
"That's enough. I can use it to smash people!
"Alright, as long as you're happy."
Char shook his head helplessly and turned his attention to the other loot.
In addition, there were a few rolls of bandages and some tools of unknown significance, which were used for unlocking locks and grave robbing.
Instructor Doom was a grave robber in the early years. He was wanted everywhere because he dug up the ancestral grave of a high-ranking member of the United Holy Kingdom. In the end, he had no choice but to join the Dark Brotherhood.
He was the one who dug out the raw material for the pure white armor that contained divine power. It was also the ancestral grave of the Laurentia family, the most famous Paladin in the United Holy Kingdom.
The NPCs in "Fantasy World" were unique in terms of their personal achievements. Their functions could be replaced by other NPCs at any time, but their experiences could not be replaced.
If Instructor Doom did not die on this route and was lucky enough to escape, then he would appear in several chain missions with him as the key character.
However, now that he had died in battle, the subsequent quests would not disappear. The NPCs that would appear would be somebody else.
When many experiences were concentrated on one person, it would always be legendary, but it would also bring some kind of irrelevant and sad spoilers.
If Doom was lucky enough to escape every time, he would eventually trigger a large-scale tomb-raiding mission. The location just happened to be the entrance of the Siege City, which was the Ancient City of Stanum named by the Light Elves, and he would die there.
Char still remembered that scene. Doom was poisoned and coughed up blood, but he begged Char to take him to see the door. In front of the door, he wiped off the oil stains on the surface of the brass door. After seeing the complicated patterns and dents on it, he showed a relieved smile and then died quietly.
Although this person had committed all kinds of evil in his life, at that moment, he really had a feeling of death upon him.
The spoils of war had solved two of Char's problems...
For example, why Instructor Doom was so relieved before his death, and why he always liked to stay in the well.
It was all resolved.
The latter was because of this belt. The humid environment always made his condition more perfect, and he was not afraid of curse-type spells.
The former was because he had stolen from graves related to the mechanical civilization in the past.
The Seven Holy Spirits had sealed off any information about the tin weapons, and with Doom's experience, he was not qualified to come into contact with those secrets. That was why he could not understand these two items, from the production to the use, to the principle of action, and even the above sentence "tremble, creation of flesh and blood."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was not until he saw the door that he could not open that he was relieved.
"Oh, so there was another great creation from another civilization."
It was a pity that he did not have the chance to see what a splendid scene the Siege City's soldiers were. The mechanical civilization left behind by the tin soldiers was, after all, a forbidden zone for those under the protection of the Seven Holy Spirits.
With that in mind, Char gently closed Doom's eyes and nodded at Evelyn, indicating that she could start.
The Dark Elves had been in contact with these people before. According to Dark Elf tradition, they were the Queen's followers and should be the ones collecting their corpses.
However, Evelyn hated the Dark Elves' traditions, so she simply burned Doom's corpse.
Two hours later, the group of people returned to the main road. Apple Pie suddenly stopped, her eyes momentarily losing focus.
This was to calculate her reward. Her mission to leave the village was finally completed.
A few minutes passed, and Char noticed that Apple Pie had become a level 13 Shooter, which seemed to give quite a lot of experience. She could not stop laughing.
She was the only happy one in the group. Char, who had rushed to put out the fire, had nothing to do with Rylai, who had saved her life.
This kind of single-player out-of-village quest would not give them any obvious benefits.
However, it was not completely without gains.
Rylai took the leather armor and Doom's belt from Corian. She seemed to be fascinated by the patterns on them. Char was looking forward to her understanding of the mechanical civilization, so that she could take her to the Siege City's soldiers to scare Crickto.
No matter which reincarnation it was, the blacksmith master would always look at him as if he was a prodigy looking at an idiot, full of pity for his intelligence. What made him even angrier was that Char could not even win him in an argument. After 177 rounds, the great blacksmith had new ridiculing posts that came in an endless stream, completely crushing him in terms of data storage.
For Char, the greatest benefit of this trip was...
"Mr. Andrew, the purpose of your trip is to Astan City, right?" Char asked.
"Yes."
The round-faced merchant smiled amicably. Due to the death of Instructor Doom, his attitude toward Char had become much friendlier.
"If that's the case, then I have to tell you another piece of bad news..."
Char put on a pained expression.
"Tsk, he's going to lie again."
Evelyn muttered to Apple Pie.
