Abyss Domination

Chapter 11: Treasure Cave

Views:

There aren't many haunted places in Amber City.

Sauron only made some inquiries to determine the approximate location of the hidden treasure cave. There is a mass grave about one kilometer north of the Manau River, where more than one person has seen traces of ghost activities. This is one of the more obvious signs of treasure caves, and liches always like to arrange these caves closer to death.

"There are ghosts?"

"Then a little holy water may be needed."

In order to ensure Vivienne's safety, although Sauron was sure of exploring the treasure cave, he was not sure how long it would take him, so he planned to send her to the Shrine of Dawn to be looked after by Pastor An Yali. It was the priest girl who had helped Sauron but always treated him coldly. If she took care of Vivienne, there shouldn't be any problem. Of course, it is impossible for Dawn Temple to take in a little girl for no reason. Sauron has already prepared a sum of money dedicated to the temple.

Dawn Temple.

Sauron leaned slightly towards Priest Fell, who was the abbot of the temple. When the other party took the money bag he presented, and heard a clear and pleasant knocking sound of Yin Dele inside, he immediately said with a smile on his face, "No problem!"

"The Lord of Dawn protects all believers who believe in him. This little girl can live in the temple for a while."

"Let her follow An Yali as a trainee pastor."

This is a world inseparable from money.

The same is true even for powerful priests. They need to expand their faith in serving the gods and absorb believers among the poor. All these things are inseparable from money. The temple needs money to maintain, the believers need money, and the sacred ceremony needs money. Even the priests of most of the temples are now openly selling divine spells to cure diseases, restore injuries, etc., in exchange for enough wealth to maintain the temple and expand their beliefs. What is it like to take in a little girl for a few days and sell a few gallons of holy water

The Temple of Dawn is not considered powerful, and can only be ranked below the second line in Amber City.

Therefore, the nobles will always have better choices when making offerings, and the sum of money Sauron donated is quite precious.

A total of sixty silver dele.

It is equivalent to the offerings received by the Shrine of Dawn within half a month recently, allowing Priest Fell to replace the utensils that presided over the sacred ceremony with one or two pieces of silverware.

After all, this is a silver coin made by followers of the Goddess of Wealth, and twenty pieces weigh one pound!

"Thank you Pastor Fair."

Sauron expressed his thanks politely, then smiled at Pastor An Yali beside him and said, "Vivienne will trouble you these few days!"

"snort."

The young priest snorted softly, but she didn't refuse. Although she still didn't like Sauron, she liked the little girl beside her immediately. Of course, An Yali knew that Sauron's money came from a dirty source. It was probably either stolen or related to gang fights in the slums. However, Pastor Fair has been preparing for the sacred ceremony for her to be promoted to an official priest for a long time. After all, Sauron was willing to donate such a sum of money, and of course he had to use it to prepare her for the sacred ceremony bestowed by divine arts.

If there are two official priests, the Shrine of Dawn should be able to quickly enter the ranks of the second-rate middle and upper ranks in Amber City!

"Vivian followed Sister An Yali first."

Sauron stretched out his hand and stroked the little girl's head, and comforted him, "I'll come pick you up in two days!"

He had already told the little girl before coming here.

Vivian didn't have the slightest objection to Sauron's arrangement, but nodded obediently: "Yes."

"Don't worry about me."

"Vivian is very obedient and will never run around."

Sauron bent down and kissed her on the forehead, then picked up the holy water and walked towards the outside of the Temple of Dawn.

Now that the skinning incident has happened, he also needs to speed up his pace.

Before the gods are forced to walk the world as saints, the temple should be one of the safest places in Amber City. It is shrouded by the power of faith and guarded by the guardians of the temple. Not many evils dare to easily set foot here. Even for a second-rate temple like the Temple of Dawn, there are six powerful temple guards besides one official priest.

The strength is basically above the second level!

One of the temple guards even has a third-level strength. It is conservatively estimated that he has a class template of level 10 knight attendant/level 10 knight/level 5 temple guardian, or a career template of level 10 knight attendant/level 10 fighter/level 5 temple guardian.

The first occupation level in front represents the basic occupation before the job change.

For example, the vast majority of aboriginal wizards have a professional level of 10 scholars. This is because they need to read characters before learning spells and have a certain knowledge base. Another example is that many advanced fighter professionals have the prefix of level 10 militia, which means that they have received training at the militia level before becoming formal fighters.

As for Sauron's level 10 civilians, this represents the lowest-level pre-occupation.

There is no weapon mastery added by the militia, and no knowledge bonus attached to the scholar. The only advantage is that you can get 25 skill points and advance to any profession at the same time.

As long as your talent attributes are enough!

The pre-basic basic occupations generally don’t add any attribute points, but there are still some gaps depending on the focus. For example, the best pre-requisite for the melee department is the 10th-level knight attendant, which can obtain an additional skill point for weapon specialization. But this is for player-owned professional templates. If this template is applied to the aborigines, it means that Sauron was born as a commoner, and received a commoner education since he was a child. He advanced to become a thief.

And the third-order temple knights have received the training and education of knight servants since they were young. They have already had combat training when they were young, and they have mastered most of the weapons. Therefore, some of his attributes are inherently much higher than those of ordinary people, whether it is strength Or physique, etc., and continued until he became a warrior or knight, and began to continue to improve his strength as a professional.

Therefore, in the past, players judged the basic attributes of an aborigine as their pre-occupation.

Civilian professions are average in general, militia professions are slightly stronger, knight servants have high comprehensive attributes, and scholars have innate knowledge advantages.

In summary.

That is the same second-tier professional, the temple guard is much more difficult to deal with than the Yeluzi warrior.

Yeluzi warriors may have lower attributes than them, and they only master basic sword skills, but the temple guards have higher attributes, and master three or more advanced abilities at the same time.

After mastering the cross swordsmanship [Sword Poses-Cross Slash], Sauron had a deep memory!

Mass grave.

It was already afternoon when Sauron came here, and it took him half a day to find the entrance to the cave.

It was a simple concealment device, more like a trap mechanism.

As a rock near the mass grave was moved ten centimeters, a dark hole appeared on the hillside not far away. When Sauron's figure entered it, the rock immediately returned to its original place, and the entrance of the cave disappeared without a trace. As expected, it was written by the Lich, and some of the arrangements were extremely clever in the eyes of Sauron, a former legendary thief.

Darkness.

There were damaged torches on both sides of the cave. If ordinary people came in without lighting the torches, they might not be able to walk. However, Sauron, as a half-elf with one-eighth elven blood, still had a certain night vision ability. So he can roughly see everything in the cave without lighting a torch, which is the key to his daring to explore the treasure cave alone.

Stealth + Night Vision = Silence.

No need for lighting tools means that the monsters in the cave will not be disturbed.

The safety factor has been greatly improved!

Sauron's figure gradually merged into the darkness. With the awakening of the professional specialty of 'Shadow Mastery', he can already feel the existence of the power of shadow, which is different from before. In the darkness, his figure gradually became hazy, as if he had disappeared into the shadows. Only when he moved, could he vaguely perceive the slight changes in the shadows.

His breath, his heartbeat, his smell are all covered by shadows!

"Squeak."

There was a sound of footsteps ahead, Sauron gently pulled out his dagger, hid in a corner of the cave and waited.

The size of the treasure cave is not small.

After all, it is impossible for the Lich to just dig a hole in the ground. There are many underground passages here, among which there are many guardian monsters, as well as the traps that the Lich originally set up.

A skeleton appeared in front of Sauron.

There is no soul fire in its eyes, which means that it is only the lowest level of resurrected skeletons. It may be because of the strong death energy here that it unconsciously guards here. Such skeletons are easier to deal with, and ordinary professionals can deal with one or two, but it is impossible to kill a large group casually, because their strength is roughly equivalent to that of a militia with more than formal training, and there is no fatal weakness on them. After all, skeletons It is also a kind of extraordinary creature.

Even if it is the lowest undead creature.

Sauron's figure approached quietly, and the unconscious skeleton didn't notice it at all. It held a rusty iron sword in its hand, and it seemed to be an adventurer who had explored here and died. The number of aborigine adventurers in the plot is not less than that of the players, and there are even many evil camps that cooperate with the players and even sneak behind the players to kill the players. Anyone who underestimates the world of "Clash of Gods" will have to pay the price.

A cold light suddenly appeared in the darkness!

Sauron's figure emerged from the shadows, and instantly he swung his dagger and stabbed the skeleton's spine.

"The shadow hides successfully!"

"Backstab activated!"

"Successfully launch backstab*2, causing 18 (+1) points of damage to the target!"

"Target seriously injured!"

This was the first time that Sauron succeeded in backstabbing without instantly killing the enemy.

However, he was not surprised by this, because what he was holding was an ordinary dagger, without enchantment or extraordinary characteristics. It is difficult to achieve a one-hit kill against undead creatures. After all, undead creatures also have extra bonuses from extraordinary creatures. Although the challenge difficulty is only level 1, the skeleton has more than 30 health points. Without flesh and blood, it is more durable than ordinary people.

Clang, clang!

The skeleton's fighting instinct was still there. The first reaction after being attacked was to slash down with a sword, bringing out a sharp sound of piercing through the air. Sauron blocked the attack with his dagger, and his body sank involuntarily.

"Strength is more than 16 points."

Sauron dodged to avoid the second attack, then moved his slightly numb arm, and said to himself: "It should have been an advanced fighter before it was alive, otherwise it would not be possible to have such high strength after becoming an undead."

10 points of strength is the standard for ordinary people.

12 points of strength is equivalent to the coolie workers who work every day in the dock area.

14 points of strength are relatively strong among ordinary people.

16 points of strength is roughly equal to a weightlifter in a previous life.

A strength of 18 points is quite exaggerated. This is the kind of person who can stab people with a weapon weighing more than 100 catties in one hand without panting after chopping.

Generally, those who can reach more than 16 points are specially trained melee professionals.

Attribute points are the most difficult thing to improve. Only two career levels can get a little free attribute. Even if you upgrade to level 20 and enter the legendary field, you only have 10 free attribute points. In this regard, Sauron's weakness is relatively large. His strength is only 12 points, because he did not deliberately exercise his strength in his childhood experience, and he is not a bloodline of gods and supernatural powers, so his strength is only comparable to that of a box-carrying man in the dock area. Pretty coolie.

As for the extraordinary strength of 20 points, a simple analogy can be made.

Hill Giant.

A behemoth about 5 meters tall, weighing close to half a ton, and usually holding a mace with the thick waist of an adult as a weapon!

That's right.

This guy is the standard of 20 points of extraordinary strength!

If it weren't for the innate divine power, many fighters who have been promoted all the way to the second-tier professional may not necessarily have more than 20 points of extraordinary power.
