V1.Chapter 97

By a warm campfire.

Aladdin is preparing a late-night snack, which is actually some kind of meat sliced, sprinkled with spices and grilled. The aboriginal halflings are all people who know how to enjoy themselves. They will spend at least half of the wealth they get from taking risks to make themselves more comfortable, and the halflings will not take long adventures and often make a fortune. Then he will choose to return to his hometown to retire. Vivian couldn't eat anymore, and Gloria burped once, and then entered the carriage with a blushing face.

Sauron's appetite is very good. The stronger the physique, the stronger the digestion ability, and his appetite has doubled compared to before.

For example, he now carries jerky with him, mainly to avoid battles and have no time to cook. He can directly take the jerky for a while, and it will be much better after he breaks through the fourth rank. At that time, his endurance will be greatly reduced. Strengthening, even if you don't eat for seven or eight days in a row, it doesn't matter. He still knew a little about barbecue. The two of them sat by the fire and ate sliced ​​meat on skewers. Perhaps because there was a gourmet next to him, Sauron accidentally unlocked the basic cooking skills.

It's already 20 o'clock now.

There are many types of basic skills. In addition to the ability to directly affect combat, it also includes forging, cooking, tailoring, and more. The effect of these skills is not very big. Generally, few people train specially. There are limits to weapon forging and armor forging. If you want to create extraordinary-level equipment, you must cooperate with alchemy. The most typical of them is the robes of wizards. Many high-level robes require special materials, such as the tough spider silk of the Underdark. It is not possible for ordinary tailors to make clothes with this spider silk.

As for the wizard himself, you can't expect him to master the craft of sewing while learning so much.

Therefore, the number of high-level extraordinary items has always been very rare.

Aladdin leaned against the carriage and smoked a pipe, handed Sauron a small bag of tobacco, and said with a smile, "Try the tobacco of the Norodotus family, which is the best tobacco in the north of the Shire."

Sauron did not refuse either. He stretched out his hand and touched it. He basically didn't drink alcohol. If necessary, he could use tobacco to ease the pain, and sometimes it could be used to divert attention after an injury. Tobacco grown by halflings is basically rich and difficult to buy, and they are a good thing for many wizards, and they have a faint aroma when lit, which can help to refresh the mind when necessary. The effect is similar to the incense lit by Gloria, except that tobacco is mostly the hobby of male wizards.

The night was getting darker.

The halfling rolled out a blanket, then rolled it up and tucked into it to sleep, wondering if he had fallen asleep. After all, it is difficult for rogues to fall asleep easily.

Rogues are the heaviest task in the adventurer team, and they must be vigilant at all times.

If accidentally attacked, rogues are definitely the first characters to be questioned, so for a long time rogues like to walk alone, because their tasks are too hard. When encountering dangerous terrain, they have to walk at the front, and they have to deal with the path-finding traps. At night, the masters are meditating, and the soldiers are sleeping soundly. Rogues, however, need to be vigilant at all times, taking time to rest when it is safe to do so. It's good to have a high-level ranger to replace it. Without the warrior vigil in many dangerous places, it is useless, and the enemy does not know when the enemy is stealth and touches.

It's still a one-person activity and just go. It's comfortable to stay.

A faint wolf howl could be heard in the distance.

Sauron sat on the carriage to rest, Vivian tugged at the corner of his shirt with her little hand, and Sauron smiled and touched her little head. Indicates that you do not need to enter the carriage. Although the halfling is very friendly, he will not take it lightly, even if there is a vigilance circle arranged by a witch. He still thinks that he is more at ease when he is vigilant, otherwise he will not sleep well at night. The weather is getting colder and colder, and this winter may come earlier this year, which seems to be much colder than in previous years.

Aladdin gradually slept soundly. It was estimated that what he wanted most was not a ride, but a good night's sleep.

In the wilderness, he probably wouldn't dare to sleep peacefully.

Sauron sat under a blanket, and occasionally stood up and walked around carefully, listening to the sound in the distance. It was the wolves who discovered the bonfire here, but he was very sensible and did not come to disturb him. If the wolves are not very hungry, they still use beasts as their staple food. Attacking travelers will reduce their population, and it will be very difficult for the population to multiply.

By the next morning, Sauron's body was covered with white frost.

The weather is really cold.

Sauron, who had an extraordinary physique of 20 points, didn't care much, but when Vivian woke up and saw the frost on his eyebrows, a distressed expression appeared on a small face, and wiped his body with a small hand. Bai Shuang, who opened his small mouth and whistled, rubbed his palm hard and said, "Brother? Is it cold?"

Sauron kissed her on the forehead and smiled, "It's not cold. This coldness is nothing."

The weather has really changed.

When she got up in the morning and exhaled, it was already a white fog, Gloria frowned and whispered: "This year's winter has come more than a month earlier than before."

Sauron nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.

After Aladdin woke up, he did some activity first, and then he started to find some dry firewood to make porridge. It may be because the road ahead was swept by the caravan, and they did not encounter any monsters along the way. This journey lasted for two days until they finally reached the range of Fallen Leaf City after the fifth day.

This is the domain of half-elves.

Half-elves are very common here. They have slightly pointed ears, more slender and flexible bodies than humans, and obviously handsome and more beautiful faces. However, most of the half-elves have been mixed for many times. The proportion of human blood is very large, and the proportion of elves blood is reduced. The village is similar to that of human beings, but there are many more arrow towers and sentries. There are many longbowmen here, and the number is more than that of the elves, because the power of elves is not as good as that of human beings. Although they are very agile and use long bows, they are easy to get tired.

Human strength is enough, but skills are not enough. It takes too much time to train longbowmen, far less than crossbowmen and ordinary archers.

The half-elf combines the advantages of both sides, that is, has a good power. Also inherited the elves' talent for bows and arrows.

Almost every village here has longbowmen, and some towns can also see longbowmen guards. Of all the mixed races, half-elves do the best, and others, such as half-orcs, are now either vassal slaves or wandering around. It's very xenophobic here, half-elves are more repulsive to any creatures that are not half-elves, and they will watch outsiders with vigilant eyes. Because they were once in the human and elf society, will also be subject to the same exclusion.

The so-called racial harmony is nothing more than a slogan preached by idealists.

Sauron and the others didn't stop, they headed straight for Fallen Leaf City, and finally reached Fallen Leaf City on the sixth day of the trip.

"Okay. I'm going to the iron dwarves."

The little halfling jumped from the carriage. He waved to Vivian, who was about the same height as him, and then left freely. "Goodbye. Sweet little girl. Goodbye. Your Excellency the Witch. Goodbye, comrade."

"When you have time to travel to the Shire, I will treat you to grilled sturgeon."

respectively is a normal thing.

Even in a group of adventurers who have been with each other for a long time, there will be a time of separation.

Vivienne's expression was a little lost, but she recovered quickly. She was arranging the gifts she received with a smile, and her little face was full of joy. She actually liked the halfling quite a bit, because he felt like a little friend to her. Compared to other children, she still seems too smart and mature. Therefore, only a halfling who looks like a child as an adult can make the little girl have the joy of meeting her little friend.

Fallen Leaves City has the style of the elf tribe.

Most of them believe in the elf pantheon, and a few of them devote themselves to other beliefs. Half-elves also have their own gods, but they are very weak. They are only gods with weak divine power, and they cannot be protected at all. The fallen leaves city is full of plane trees. As soon as autumn comes, the leaves are falling, which looks very poetic. They worship the legendary phoenix. So they also like plane trees very much.

Phoenix has many names.

Monks like to call it the phoenix, priests the sunbird, and wizards the arcane ashes.

It existed during the time of the Arcane Empire.

It's basically been hard to see after that, rarer than gods, stronger than dragons. It is said that the elemental god of fire, with its powerful divine power, handed them an olive branch, and these beautiful and deadly creatures have long since left this world. Legend has it that the sky they fly over will leave behind a brilliant fire, and when they hit the ground, everything will turn to ashes. The flames on them will only go out at the moment of death, and this holy flame can cause hundreds of holy fire damage per second.

So they are beautiful but inaccessible.

There are two iconic buildings in Fallen Leaves City, one is the Phoenix sculpture on the central square, which is 30 meters high and more than 20 meters wide. The other is a dome tower more than 300 meters high, which is the site of the Autumn Leaf Council, which is the spellcaster council inside the half-elves. These are not the most eye-catching things. What is more eye-catching is an iron pillar on the dome tower, which emits a silvery white light, which will be a bit dazzling if you look closely in the sun.

That was the brilliance of Mithril, and the pillar that looked like a lightning rod was actually the legendary magic crystal cannon.

In the imagination of mortals, the magic crystal gun should be a very cumbersome cannon mounted on the city wall, just like the artillery used by the dwarf gnomes in the story. In their imaginative brains, it is difficult to determine what the legendary magic crystal cannon looks like. It can only be imagined that the wizard will load something called magic crystal, and then use a spell to trigger it to fire, and then rumbling. Amidst the loud noise, the magic crystal cannon knocked a giant dragon down.

Uh-huh.

That's the feeling, it's very emotional to think about.

But this is not the case. The attack of the magic crystal cannon is not a parabola, but a straight line attack. It is a decoration on the city wall. One cannon can kill all of its own people. It was born in the period of the Arcane Empire, and was used in conjunction with the floating city. The maximum attack range was one thousand kilometers, and it was a devastating blow to the target from the air control point.

correct.

Its full name is Magic Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon. (To be continued..)
