Clang, clang!
The dagger cracked under the continuous parry. After all, it was just an ordinary weapon, and normal wear and tear was a very serious matter. Before Sauron raised his strength to the second level, he always carried more than three weapons on his body, so that he could spare them after the battle was damaged. Ordinary equipment can basically be bought in blacksmiths, but enchanted extraordinary equipment is very rare. Sauron only got a handy weapon after exploring the ancient ruins.
It must be mentioned that Sauron's best weapon is quite special!
Not a dagger, but a machete.
Qualified scimitars are difficult to buy in southern cities, even the common equipment of the whiteboard is the same, because the price of a whiteboard weapon with a slightly better steel, excellent forging technology and qualified forging costs about five Kindlers. Therefore, players who have just entered the battle of the gods for a long time are struggling to obtain a superior blank weapon. As for the dagger that Sauron is holding now, in terms of quality, it should actually be gray equipment, and the real blank dagger should be a weapon folded and forged from fine steel.
"Sure enough, we should get a machete first!"
Sauron turned sideways on the spot, twisted his waist 180 degrees, and struck the back of the skull with the dagger, instantly shattering the last trace of death energy of the target, and the whole body was scattered into broken bones all over the place. He looked at the 45 killing experience points he could see, threw away the almost damaged dagger in his hand, and muttered: "There are no scimitars in southern cities. If you want to buy a suitable one, you must at least go to a place close to the grassland."
What Sauron used was naturally not an ordinary machete.
Even if he follows his most stringent requirements, the scimitar he needs cannot be bought on the northern grasslands, and only the top forging masters in the Underdark can forge the scimitar he needs. The full-moon scimitar in the Sage Desert is too light, and the boning scimitar on the Beimang Grassland is too brittle. The only thing that Sauron can really feel good about is the heavy-duty scimitar that has some characteristics of the Tang knife and combines the advantages of the Dama and Shige knives. Machete. This kind of scimitar is very heavy, the back of the knife alone can kill an ogre, and the lethality can be maximized when chopping. Sauron once sliced through a three-foot-thick marble with one knife.
One foot is about 30 centimeters, and three feet is close to one meter thick!
Even an adult dragon couldn't stand the power of his slashing, otherwise there wouldn't be a legend of a violent thief with two swords in the Underdark. Some people even said that if he advanced not as a stalker, but as a part-time berserker, sword master, or weapon master, it would be possible to single out an ancient red dragon head-on.
Fighting with a heavy machete requires a minimum of 14 points of strength!
Sauron's original pair of scimitars were legendary weapons specially made for entering the Underdark. One weighed 18 kilograms, and the other weighed 16 kilograms. They needed more than 18 points of strength to play.
His figure faded into the shadows.
Sauron didn't expect to get extraordinary weapons from the beginning, as long as he could get a high-quality military standard weapon, he would be satisfied.
usually!
Fifteen or so Kindlers can be bought.
At this stage, the Southern Principality is still using the silver standard system. Silver Dele is the recognized currency. Gold can only be regarded as a precious metal. Even the Gold Dele created by the followers of the Goddess of Wealth is still only circulated among the nobles. The value of one Kindler is equal to ten Silver Deler, whether it is a Kindler or a Silver Deler, the weight of twenty is exactly one pound. As for the copper Dele, many of them were privately cast by the lower class, and many of them were shoddy, and the ratio with Yin Dele would fluctuate. At the beginning, many people suffered from it!
Players scolded their mothers for a long time.
It is because the battle of the gods is so real that there is not even a unified currency.
If there is not a goddess of wealth who weighs the currency leverage, the currency conversion of various ethnicities and regions can make many people feel broken!
However, this extremely real world rule is still sought after by many people.
Sauron back then was one of them!
For him, the battle of the gods is completely another world, and it is also an indispensable part of his life experience, and it can even be said to be an extension of life.
That's why he accepts everything so easily.
…
As they gradually went deeper into the cave, the eerie feeling became more intense.
The first fork in the road appeared before Sauron's eyes, and there were three corpses that had completely rotted into bones.
"It's a trap."
Sauron picked up a corpse with one hand and looked at it, and murmured, "It looks like this guy was shot to death by a crossbow bolt! So there should be a very powerful crossbow trap placed here."
Three of his ribs were broken, and Sauron could tell at a glance that this guy had been hit by at least ten arrows.
A trap is that it is difficult to lay out so many attacks.
Sauron shrugged his shoulders, and found some Silver Dele from the body, as well as a rotten unknown paper, and a copper medal. He put Yin Dele away, and then looked at the piece of paper. The writing on it was completely blurred. As for the last bronze medal, he was very familiar with it. It was the symbol of the Adventurer's Guild, an official E-rank adventurer.
"What an unlucky fellow."
"It seems that after he died, his companions used his body to block traps several times."
Sure enough, taking risks is the best way to make money.
Sauron just searched through the corpses that had been buried under the trap, and found more than a dozen silver Deli, and two shiny Kindlers.
It's almost equivalent to his income from killing gangs in the slums!
"One, two, three."
Sauron threw the bones aside, maybe because he had experienced too much in the battle of the gods, and now he really felt nothing when facing the bones of the corpse, he just said to himself: "Counting the skeleton at the beginning, the four guys look It looks like they are all warriors wearing leather armor, and the Faye should not join such a low-level adventure team."
"Then there is another thief?"
Wizards, priests, druids, and warlocks are all typical rich and handsome professionals.
A scroll of arcane missiles cost thirty Kindlers, how could it be possible to join such a team of low-level adventurers.
Because of the abnormal combat power, all the magic-casting professionals in the treasure house of the gods are honored as Masters. However, Faye is also synonymous with hard work. There are more than 30 kinds of regular first-order arcane magic, and it takes about 1,500 Kindler to learn through copying arcane scrolls. If you are looking for an aboriginal teacher, you only need half the cost, but it is nearly seven or eight hundred Jindler.
This is only the cost of a first-order arcane technique!
Although priest druids can use divine spells, whether it is the ceremony of "Blessing of the Gods" or the ceremony of "Gift of Nature", it needs to spend more than 500 Jindelor materials to prepare. If you choose a god to believe in, part of the cost will be borne by the temple, but it also needs about 300 Kindler. Although warlocks have the advantage of bloodline awakening and can automatically master spell abilities, it is more expensive to hold a bloodline advancement ceremony.
If Sauron remembered correctly, about 1,000 Kindlers were needed for the first promotion ceremony to raise the bloodline.
Because at that time, he was borrowed most of his savings by a fellow warlock.
In contrast!
It is much easier for melee professionals, who can cut people with a knife.
Under normal circumstances, the professional level of Faye is only about five levels, and many professions in the melee department have reached level eight or even ten or above.
You can feel the difficulty of making money by looking at Sauron's net worth.
In order to make up for the huge expenses, more than 90% of the masters had a very hard life.
There used to be such a saying in the tavern!
—"If the reward cannot be determined to be higher than 100 Kindlers, it is impossible to invite those Mages!"
The combat effectiveness of low-level spellcasting systems is low.
In order to exert sufficient power, at least 5 professional levels are required, so most of the low-level adventurer teams do not have legal professionals.
therefore!
Only then did Sauron judge that there must be another thief.
In the absence of the "reconnaissance trap" with a success rate of more than 90% by lawmen, the only way for thieves to rely on professional experience is to judge.
Don't expect too much for low-level thieves to find the chance of traps!
At this stage, thieves are not bad at picking locks, and they don't have a high grasp of trap skills. There are many things where they find traps and fail to dismantle them and die inside.
Since risk-taking has high rewards, it naturally also has high risks!
A successful adventure without any casualties in the team, that's when you get back to the tavern and treat everyone to a good drink.
In fact.
There are not many opportunities for Sauron to treat everyone to a drink in the tavern.
…
soon.
Soran found the thief's body in the front hole.
He was also not interested in judging why the thief died here based on the clues, but directly lifted the corpse, looked at the missing half of the head, and said with a grim expression, "Acid trap?"
It should be an acid trap.
The early stage is the most troublesome for all thieves, and it is also one of the deadliest traps!
Otherwise, there are very few other traps that can melt half of the head of the corpse, and there are many small pits on the ground, which are left after the splash of strong acid.
"It looks troublesome."
Sauron took out a small mallet and tapped the ground lightly. In order to prevent the trap from being triggered by rats, many traps are triggered according to the standard of adult weight, so halflings are always the most popular among adventurers. thieves. Acid traps are divided into two types: magic traps and physical traps. The former is to arrange a magic circle and connect a trigger device, while the latter is to install refined strong acid on the trigger device, and spray the acid out after the trap is touched.
Before entering the high-level bloodline awakening.
Even fighters with professional level 5 or above may be instantly killed by acid traps!
Even if they survived, people are almost useless.
There are many bloodline promotion ceremonies in the later stage of professional strengthening. Although there are many fighters with frightening physiques, after resisting strong acid, explosions, lava, etc., they are still fighting vigorously!
But Sauron at this stage is not sure that he can withstand an acid trap.
If hit.
It can be said that he must die!
