"Take it, can't you take it back?!" Gordon looked in disbelief.
"Don't forget, after we got off the mine cart, we walked for two days before arriving at the camp here. You dug such a big bag on the first day. It is conservatively estimated that the mine just now can be dug for three more. Four days, can you bear it?"
Weighing the huge suitcase weighing dozens of kilograms on his back, Gordon slumped his shoulders and said, "It seems that it is indeed too much. I don't necessarily have to throw it away. It's a pity."
Anhill, who has always had a bulging wallet, does not have Gordon's mentality that is at best "thrifty" and at worst "petty".
"Most of them are made of earth crystals and iron ore, right? In the future, the equipment will get better and better, and the demand for the quality of materials will also become higher and higher. Just collect the rough stone, Linghe Stone, and Huilong Stone.
If you don't have much use for these basic ores, don't bring them with you. If you really can't bear to part with them, you can throw them in the storage box. Although the settlement price is relatively low, you can always exchange them for some money. "
"It can only be the."
Gordon's first serious excavation trip was forced to end on the third day after arriving in the lava canyon.
There is no other reason, the cold drinks have been exhausted
The temperature in the lava canyon was higher than they expected, and heavy physical work like mining would also speed up the consumption of cold drinks. They originally prepared enough cold drinks for at least a week, but in fact they only lasted less than half of it. time.
Gordon originally wanted to try to see if it was possible to adapt and overcome with perseverance, but the facts proved that this was a delusion.
He suffered from heat stroke less than half an hour after leaving the camp, and his skin even showed symptoms of low-temperature burns. If he stayed any longer, he would probably be roasted alive.
In desperation, the two of them and the cat embarked on the road back to the village.
On the small mine car driving to Naguli Village, Anhil, who was motion-sick, was vomiting as usual, while Gordon happily inspected the harvest.
There are eleven rough stones in the protective stone. These rough stones alone made Gordon's nose bubble with joy.
Coupled with a large number of high-quality metal ores such as Linghe Stone and Phalenite, Gordon and the others spent a lot of effort to move these things from the lava canyon to a place within the reach of the mine car.
There should be no need to worry about ore materials in a short time.
After returning to Naguli Village, Gordon couldn't even wait to put his luggage, so he went to find the village chief with Anhir, who was turning blue on his face.
Everyone in the village knows that the best stone guard appraisal and polishing master in Naguli Village is the Tulong village chief himself.
The village chief happily accepted the job, but Gordon was a little disappointed. The matter of identifying the protective stone was not as simple as he thought, and the result could not be obtained with a "swish". (?)
Only after careful cutting and grinding to remove impurities and rust stains can they reveal their original appearance. As for identification, it comes after that.
Seeing that he couldn't get the results right away, Gordon had no choice but to drag Anhil, who was still a little uneasy, to the assembly hall to hand in the task, and at the same time looked forward to the arrival of the agreed next day.
The two of them had a big meal, took a bath in the hot springs and slept well - a whole night of silence.
At noon the next day, Gordon and Ancil, who were in a completely new mental and physical state, rushed to the workshop excitedly, looking forward to good luck.
Along the way, watching Gordon take out an ancient gold coin from his collar as he walked, holding it in his hand and mumbling something, Ancil couldn't help but curiously asked: "Is this gold coin your amulet?"
"Well, it's a gift from a very lucky friend. I hope it can have some of her good luck."
"Oh, 'she'?" An ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of Anxier's mouth.
Gordon glanced at him helplessly, and after getting along with him for a long time, he realized that this man was actually a very sultry guy - yesterday he heard from the sales girl, Miss Marian, that there was a girl from East Doruma who sent mail to this guy. letter.
"Do you want to take a look at it and pray? It's quite effective."
"Is that okay?" Ancil was a little surprised and took the exotic ancient coin handed over by Gordon. He actually didn't believe it, but there was no need to discount his partner's kindness.
Putting the ancient coin in the palm of his hand, he clasped his hands and bowed casually, and Anhir returned the ancient coin.
They had also arrived at the door of the workshop at this time.
Seeing the arrival of the two men, the Tulong village chief yawned and lifted a wooden tray padded with velvet onto the table. Eleven shimmering protective stones were quietly arranged in it.
These protective stones come in different sizes and colors. The largest one is about the size of an egg, while the smaller one is like a broad bean. Holes have been drilled on them, and they can be easily hung around the neck with a thin iron chain.
"Hahaha, you are here!" The Tulong village chief laughed as usual and started chatting, "All eleven protective stones have been identified. You are very lucky, boys. There are two very good ones. We are all jealous after seeing them. Na!"
Gordon and Ancil looked at each other in surprise, and couldn't help but look at the ancient coin on Gordon's chest.
Is it really that smart?
The village chief of the Tulong Tribe stroked his beard, touched the protective stones with his fingers as thick as a normal human wrist, and introduced them one by one:
"The seven protective stones here are the most common soldier protective stones. They only have a little bit of attribute resistance added, two for fire resistance, one for lightning resistance, one for ice resistance, two for sleep resistance, and one for paralysis. Patience, to be honest, these patience bonuses are too small to be of any use.”
Both Gordon and Gordon ignored these and looked at the remaining ones.
"These two are just so-so. One of the 'Na Dao Technique' can speed up the movement of Na Dao slightly. It is useful for swordsmen who like to draw swords. It is a fighter-level protective stone and can be used as a transitional weapon.
A 'quick take', uh, allows you to take medicine and eat food a little faster, not very useful, but more interesting? "
Gordon: "?"
Eat a little faster? What is the principle of this stone-protecting power?
"The last two are the finale!"
The Tulong village chief's big hand pulled aside the previous "junk protection stones" and pointed to the last two most shiny protection stones and introduced:
"This one is undoubtedly the best among the batch of protective stones. It belongs to the dragon protective stone. Even high-level hunters will be very greedy. I haven't seen such a great protective stone for a while!
It has two effects, 'Precision Shot' and 'Weakness Effect'. The former can greatly improve the accuracy of the ballista's shooting, while the latter causes greater damage (critical hits) when attacking the monster's weak points.
For shooters who are good at sniping, it can be said to be the best protective stone. If it is sold at auction, it can be sold for a very high price. Do you need my help to introduce it?"
"No need! This protective stone is mine! No one can take it away!!!" Ancier's face turned red with excitement. He grabbed the king's protective stone, yelled, laughed wildly and punched as hard as he could. Elegant and reserved?
Gordon also glared at the Tulong village chief with a face full of enthusiasm.
The latter always introduces the protective stones in order from worst to best, so the quality of the last protective stone will only be better? If that protective stone happens to suit you very well
"The last protective stone is very interesting. Although it is just a knight's protective stone, its effects are rare!"
Gordon: "."
Why is it several levels worse than the previous one? ? ?
The Tulong Village Chief held up the protective stone and said with obsessed eyes: "Its effect is 'cold resistance'. Normal cold-resistant protective stones are not uncommon, and are on the same level as the previous soldier protective stones.
But the cold-resistant effect of this protective stone is very outstanding. As long as you wear it, you will not freeze even if you wear single clothes in the snowy mountains! "
Gordon: "."
It’s useless! ! !
ps. Regarding the level of stone protection.
(mh3) The grade of the stone protection after identification is divided from high to low into - soldier's stone protection, warrior's stone protection, knight's stone protection, city protection stone, queen's protection stone, king's protection stone, dragon's protection stone, hero's protection stone, The legendary protective stone is the protective stone of heaven.
The above ten levels may seem average (and difficult to remember), but they are orthodox level divisions that have appeared more than once in the Monster Hunter series.
Monster Hunter official website also uses this scale to classify hunter levels (soldier level hunter, queen level hunter, hero level hunter, etc.——!).
I initially considered using this grade classification, but it was too difficult to remember, so I used the simplest few stars emmmmmmm
ps2. In this book, in most cases, mixing and matching equipment will not be considered. After all, well, that’s it in the game. In real life, you have to at least dress like a person, right?
Therefore, the attribute selection of the guard stone will also be biased toward versatility. After all, unlike in the game, you only need to move your fingers to brush the guard stone.
In terms of stone protection skills and effect settings, the mh3 series and mhw series are mixed, and as much as possible, numerical values are eliminated.
