Gordon is not a very shrewd man, but he is not stupid either.
Seeing that the village elder's collection was rich enough, he directly ignored the queen-level and king-level protective stones, and only chose among the dragon-level protective stones and hero-level protective stones.
Anyway, even so, there are still more than a dozen choices.
After the village chief's introduction, Gordon thought carefully and discussed with Ancil for a while, and finally eliminated most of the protective stones.
Most of these protective stones are based on attribute resistance, such as those with [large] fire resistance.
Although as long as he wears it, even if he wears equipment with negative fire resistance like the refined ore suit, it can increase the overall fire resistance to a level equivalent to his current strange bird suit, and the effect is quite amazing.
However, the limitations of this type of protective stone are relatively large, and it will be useless to change opponents with other attributes. Now he certainly cannot waste this unique opportunity on this type of attribute resistance.
There are four final protection stones to be selected, two hero protection stones and two dragon protection stones.
The No. 1 hero's protective stone has two effects: "Elf's Protection" and "Evasion Distance", and the effect levels are both very high. The former can withstand nearly 50% of the damage for him with a certain probability, while the latter will make him When rolling and flying, moving further are all life-saving "magic skills".
It is the ultimate enhanced version of the protective stone he is using at this time. It can be said to be a high-grade tiger balm.
The No. 2 hero's stone protection effect is "Concentration" and "Craftsman", and the effect level is also very high. The former can increase the charging speed by about 20% when Gordon charges to slash, while the latter increases the sharpness of the weapon. All very practical.
If the protective stone in front was said to be Tiger Balm, then this protective stone was truly suitable for a great sword user like him.
The remaining two are dragon protection stones that are slightly lower in level.
The effect of Dragon Stone Guard No. 3 is "ear plug". Although it only has one effect, the skill level is not low and can help Gordon ignore the roars of almost all monsters.
It may not sound that powerful, but you must know that the monster will not move when it roars, and it often lasts for several seconds. If you can ignore the roar, you can almost guarantee a charged slash.
The effects of the No. 4 Dragon's Stone Guard are "attack" and "base power". The former is simple and crude, and can slightly increase the strength, making the hunter's attack more powerful. The latter is a bit more subtle. It allows the hunter to explode when seriously injured. Far beyond the usual strength.
attack! Stronger attack! Even if you are about to die, you still have to attack! That's probably what it means.
There is no doubt that these four protective stones are of the highest quality. Whenever Gordon dug any one of them before, he would burst into tears with joy.
But now, he must choose the one that suits him best. At this point, he is the only one who can make the decision.
After repeated thinking, Gordon first ruled out No. 1 and No. 4.
In terms of versatility, No. 1 can be said to be the strongest of these protective stones and the most valuable. However, in Gordon's view, this thing is too conservative and does not conform to his fighting habits.
Number 4 is the other extreme. Isn't this too radical? Especially that "base force", which also has another name "fire field force", which can only be activated when seriously injured. It almost has the word "desperate" carved on the forehead.
What madman would stand still while hunting and let the monster beat him to the point of death? (?)
Can't have it, can't have it.
As for the remaining No. 2 and No. 3 protective stones, to be honest, they were both suitable for him. After some comparison, Gordon naturally chose the No. 2 protective stone with a higher level.
In fact, it's not just because of the level. The ear plug skill of No. 3 Stone Guard is indeed good, but it can only be used when the monster roars.
The concentration skill of the No. 2 guard stone is very helpful for charging up the sword, and the craftsman skill that improves the sharpness of the weapon can be used throughout the entire process, perfectly matching his identity as a great sword user.
"I choose this protective stone." Gordon pointed at the heroic protective stone that exuded a sky-blue luster and couldn't help but smile.
The Tulong village chief lamented, "This is one of the best protective stones in our collection. Little brother Gordon, you have really good taste."
Gordon was originally worried that the village chief would be reluctant to part with him, but he didn't expect that after the latter sighed, he laughed boldly:
"Ha! That's not bad! The protective stone should be worn on the hunter and accompany him on the hunting grounds. Little brother Gordon, you are a capable hunter. It is better to follow you than to leave it in our safe!"
With that said, the Tulong village chief stretched out his big hand, grabbed the protective stone, and placed it in Gordon's palm.
"Now, it's yours!"
Gordon tightened his grip on the protective stone and couldn't help grinning.
"Then I'll accept it without mercy!"
Even though it was still late at night, Gordon and Ancil were completely sleepless when they returned to the rental house.
The only pork chop that was still yawning was taken out of the cat nest made of soft cushions without mercy by Gordon.
"It's almost time to restart the journey." Gordon sat down on the edge of the bed and said without warning.
Anhil didn't show any surprise at all. He sat down on a seat nearby and said with a smile: "Indeed, the volcano has happened, and the gains in stone protection have far exceeded expectations. There is no need to continue to stay.
Besides, I'm almost fed up with the climate in the volcanic zone. Pork Chop thinks so too, right? "
"Meow meow?" The pork chop was suddenly lifted up with question marks on his face.
Gordon glanced at the pork chop and couldn't help laughing.
A few months ago, the color of Pork Chop's coat was mainly milky white, with golden hair on the tip of its nose and abdomen, which was clean and beautiful.
Looking at it now, it looks like it has been thrown into burning coal and rolled around a few times. The whole cat has turned pitch black.
It's not that the little guy doesn't like to be clean, it's mainly because the high temperature in the volcanic zone will cause Elu's hair to turn darker. This is the same reason that humans will darken if they get too much sun. (You can search for Ellu’s prototype Siamese cat, what it looks like after summer hhh)
Looking down at himself who had turned pitch black, Zhupa said angrily: "I'll come back in vain after leaving the volcano, meow!"
"Hahaha, I will, I will." Gordon rubbed Pork Chop's head, "Okay, joking aside, do you have any ideas about where we should go next?"
Anhir leaned back in his chair, "I don't care, it depends on your opinion."
Pig Chop also licked his paws and said, "I'm the same, meow. If possible, it would be best not to go to a place that is too hot, meow!"
As expected, it still hopes that it can come back in vain.
Seeing that Pork Chop and Ancil really didn't have any plans, Gordon touched his nose in embarrassment.
He actually has some ideas, but this matter is more personal. If he talks about it at this time, it feels like he has kidnapped his companions morally.
Anhil noticed his confusion, glanced at him sideways, and said, "If I'm not wrong, you want to go back to Kokot Village to trouble the male fire dragon, right?"
"Haha, you saw through it." Gordon smiled dryly.
It's not surprising that Ancil could guess this. After all, he already knew that he was looking forward to fighting the Fire Dragon again.
"If you want to go, let's go together. No matter how big the problem is, it's worth worrying about." Anxier leaned back on the chair and crossed his arms. "But how can we apply for the mission? We can also sneak away like the general sick crab at that time. What?"
Gordon also realized that he was being pretentious, and after laughing twice, he said: "That's not necessary, I can already take the initiative to apply for promotion to a four-star mission."
"Aha?!!"
