"What?" The bronze sheep face couldn't react for a while, but immediately felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then realized that the person in front of him spoke the common language of the mainland, not the ocean language he was familiar with.
"Ah!" Looking at the scimitar pierced deeply into his left chest, he didn't know that the person in front of him was a spy who sneaked in. He roared angrily, his scaly left hand tightly grasped the scimitar blade, and his right hand was drawn out like lightning. The machete at his waist cut towards Qin Lun.
A flash of surprise flashed in Qin Lun's eyes. He didn't expect that the heart of the bronze sheep face was pierced, and he still had the strength to resist. However, his reaction was also quick. He immediately let go of the scimitar he was not familiar with, and stepped back to avoid the scimitar. At the same time, a hideous dagger with serrated spine fell into his right hand.
The scimitar he picked up had a crescent-shaped arc, and the blade was narrow in the front and wide in the back, which was good for chopping but not good for stabbing. It was a favorite weapon of pirates. It's just that Qin Lun is not used to this kind of weapon. Although he pierced the heart of the bronze sheep face just now, the tip of the knife was stuck by the ribs.
In addition, Qin Lun didn't know that many sea races were different from humans, and some of them had two hearts. Although the knife just now severely damaged the bronze sheep face, it didn't really kill it.
"Death!" The bronze sheep's face roared with a strange voice, and with a forceful pull of its left hand, it pulled out the scimitar inserted into the left chest. The whirlwind rolled towards Qin Lun like a knife wheel. The remaining three masked guards dispersed tacitly, surrounding Qin Lun.
"Dang!" The scimitar collided with the sinful dagger, and there was a crisp sound. Although the scimitar was much heavier than the dagger, Qin Lun did not feel a strong oppression, and he felt certain in his heart.
The benefits brought by the integration of angel blood in the last Gospel world are obvious. Qin Lun's strength attribute at this time, plus the addition of equipment and the increase of the iron cross, has already exceeded 100, which is not much worse than some high-level apostles. And the marine intelligent creature in front of him is only the strength of a mid-level fighter, and there is a certain gap in strength between him and him, so naturally it cannot pose a threat to him.
However, the bronze sheep face is more of an experienced warrior. Just as the scimitar in his right hand was blocked by his opponent, he turned around again. The saber in his left hand touched Qin Lun's ribs, and at the same time he slammed his head at Qin Lun.
"Chila!" Qin Lun's black robe was cut wide by the scimitar, but a khaki light flashed across his ribs, barely blocking the blade from his body. The "Guardian of Earth" that comes with the Dragon Lizard Leather Armor.
Qin Lun tilted his head to pass the hammer, feeling a little depressed in his heart, feeling more and more lack of his own close combat ability.
At long range, he can take out two masked guards with a single salvo of two arrows. However, in hand-to-hand combat with skilled fighters, they can only rely on equipment skills to block them. Before switching to promotion, I am afraid that the guts will be broken by this time.
However, the counterattack of the bronze sheep's face did not stop there. A silver-white dial quietly appeared in Qin Lun's right eye, and two hands that looked like condensed vines moved slightly, activating the virtual time-space stagnation effect of the eye of the clock.
The effect of this skill has no effect on the outside world, but Qin Lun's perception and thinking will run at several times the normal speed, and at the same time, with the support of the agility attribute, the combat actions will also speed up in due course.
The sinful dagger in Qin Lun's right hand drew one or two afterimages of boats, and pierced the murloc's eye socket from the lower right and upward.
"Ah!" The murloc soldier with the bronze sheep face jumped up like an electric shock, a bloody arrow shot out of his eye socket, and fell straight on his back.
The sinful dagger had already stabbed the murloc warrior's brain, no matter how strong his vitality was, he couldn't hold on anymore.
"Deputy Commander!" The other three masked guards surrounding Qin Lun changed color and rushed forward with an angry roar.
The two fought close to each other for only one round, and both Rabbit Up and Falcon Down were in danger once. It's just that Qin Lun can use equipment as a shield, but the murloc fighters don't have his weapons and luck.
"Hmph!" Qin Lun grinned expressionlessly. He had just used his own strengths against the enemy's strengths, and suffered a dull loss. He was still willing to fight hand-to-hand with these skilled guards.
The young man's eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of black mist, and the mist expanded instantly as soon as it appeared, sweeping and covering the two masked guards in front of Qin Lun like two monsters.
The two guards shrouded in mist suddenly uttered screams, as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying. Looking carefully, some grotesque and terrifying creatures would flash past from time to time in the black mist that enveloped them, and Qin Lun couldn't help but tremble a little at the occasional cold gaze that flashed past his eyes.
As for the masked guard behind him, Venus who was hiding in the dark had already thrown him down. The big cat's sharp canine teeth bit into his neck deeply, and blood swarmed out from the wound, and he was convulsed and died.
When the guard died, the two guards shrouded in black mist had also fallen to the ground.
Through the gradually dissipating mist, Qin Lun glanced at the two people, and couldn't help being surprised. I saw that the masks of the two guards had been taken off by themselves at some point, and they strangled themselves to death with both hands.
The face covered with scales was purple and congested, the brown eyes were protruding, and the exposed body was dehydrated and dry like a mummy, his face was stiff, and his death was extremely tragic.
Qin Lun looked at the half-short energy value in the death list, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought. The A-level skill he tried to use for the first time just now—Nine Layers of Hell is obviously not as simple as pure illusion.
Because this skill has not been fully mastered, he is just a small test, and has not fully released the power of the skill, otherwise the range of the black mist will be much larger.
He didn't know which floor of the Nine Hells the two guards had seen, or whether it was all the Nine Hells. It's just that no matter what they saw, pure illusion can't make people dry and dehydrated, dead like a mummified corpse.
However, now is obviously not a good time to delve into it. Qin Lun quickly put aside his distracting thoughts and laughed as he looked at the dozen or so golden treasure chests.
In order to prevent magic traps attached to the treasure chests, Qin Lun stood far outside the door of the secret room, with a few green thorns that looked like living creatures emerging from his fingertips, and flexibly opened all the treasure chests completely.
There is no imaginary magic trap on the treasure chest. Most of the more than ten treasure chests contain precious metals and jewels, and only one smaller treasure chest is filled with magic crystals and cores.
The magic crystal is a mineral spar containing magic elements, and the magic core is the element talent crystal nucleus produced by a few monsters. After processing, both can be used as inlays for alchemy items and staffs.
Qin Lun casually looked at the precious metals and jewels in the treasure chest, leaned over to tear off the black robe of a masked guard, and filled a large bag of gold coins with a certain pattern, but dismissed the jewels with huge value. Don't look at it.
The obverse of this gold coin is the profile of a blond goddess wearing a jeweled crown, and the reverse is a luxurious carriage wrapped with two tufts of wicker.
There are many countries in Faerun Continent. Except for some self-sufficient elf families, most human countries have foreign trade.
From the coast of the Sword Bay and the Sword Sea, the great trade road connecting Winter City, Waterdeep City, and Baldur's Gate; the Gulf Coast Highway from Baldur's Gate to Askatra, the capital of Amn, and Calimshan; the gold that crosses the continent from east to west Road; and the two major commercial port areas surrounding the Sea of Fallen Stars and the Lake of Steam, the commercial trade of Faerun is very prosperous and developed.
Most of the kingdoms of Faerun have their own currencies, mainly gold and silver. Of course, there are also a few sea races that use exquisite shells, and forest races use animal fur and magic crystal cores as circulation items.
Gold coins, which are the main currency in circulation, are naturally the top priority, but the gold content of gold coins in many countries is different, and there are even counterfeit coins, which often cause some commercial disputes. It's just that all chambers of commerce and organizations involved in the trade industry dare not manufacture some kind of counterfeit gold coin, which is the Okin gold coin of the Fortune Church.
No idiot would take such a risk at the cost of offending the Goddess of Wealth. This is simply because he thinks he has a lot of money and a long life.
Qin Lun is an apostle, Toril's secular wealth is meaningless to him, as long as the property can meet the needs of adventure, it is natural to choose the goddess gold coin with the least controversy. As for those expensive jewels, he didn't have time to sell them, they were too heavy to carry around.
After throwing the bag of gold coins into the storage space, Qin Lun focused on the treasure chest containing the magic crystal core, parchment scroll and magic staff.
After thinking for a while, he picked more than a dozen best-looking magic crystals and magic cores in the box and wrapped them up, and at the same time took the bundle of sheepskin rolls from the treasure box. However, he used the sinful dagger to pry off the big purple gem at the top of the gorgeous and flamboyant mithril scepter, and only took away the bare staff.
It's not that his storage space can't accommodate, but that he doesn't dare to take more. It is a very taboo thing to snatch the sacrifices of the gods. If you snatch too much and attract the attention of the pungent queen, it will not be worth the loss.
As for the mithril scepter, from the perspective of plot characters and offerings, of course gemstones are more important than the staff itself.
However, for the apostle, the staff body engraved with a large number of magic runes is the most precious. Elemental gems can be exchanged from the shopping list in Broken Starry Sky in minutes.
"Boom!" Just as Qin Lun finished searching, there was a faint vibration from above the secret room, and dust and stone powder fell down.
"It's almost there. If you stay any longer, those two guys will make a big fuss!" Qin Lun felt the ground under his feet tremble slightly, his face darkened, and he hurried out of the secret room.
He stretched out his figure and slid towards the direction where the masked guards came over just now. Since this secret room is the center of the stronghold, the direction the bronze sheep face came from just now naturally has a secret passage leading to the outside ground.
Qin Lun's guess was correct. At the position where he met the bronze sheep's face just now, and a little way forward, there is another iron hanging ladder. After climbing up the hanging ladder, he finally saw an upward stone step in the corridor.
There is a square manhole cover at the end of the stone steps. The noise and footsteps on the ground can be clearly discerned through the manhole cover.
