Countless particle-like light particles, one by one, shimmering, filling the sight, constantly passing by, and a layer of unchanging scenery renders the eternal silence.
I woke up from my soul state, opened my eyes, took a deep breath, stretched out, and looked out the window. The light of the morning sun came out from the outside, and it was already dawn.
When I opened the window, a burst of moist and fresh air suddenly hit my face. Looking from the second floor, the scenery of the swamp lake in the distance was reflected, and then I remembered that I had arrived at the Kurast Seaport.
After taking a breath of fresh air, I opened the curtains to let the early morning sunlight brighten the room. I put on the standard adventurer's outfit and put on the fitting cloak that Willas made for me. My eyes touched the magic book beside the bed, and I couldn't help but Another sigh.
"Today, there is still no progress."
Doing the math, it has been more than half a year since I got the soul magic. During this time, except for accompanying Willas and my two newly recognized daughters when I was in Rogge, I have never relaxed for a moment. With the soul magic With a devilish teacher like the old drunkard, even if my talent is not outstanding, my progress has been huge.
First of all, the old drunkard, thanks to her, taught me a lot of useful skills, so my current basic skills may not be as good as those of adventurers of the same level, but in some of the skills I use, I am not inferior to them, and even There are still some wins, like the red dates I used last time...cough, of course, if you don't transform into a blood bear, it can't be called a red date...cough, it's just a normal charged attack, just use this charged Comparing the strength of a punch, I can now charge up my strength for one second and punch three times as fast. Charging for two seconds will increase the speed by five times, and charging for three seconds will increase the speed by about six times. After three seconds, there will be no progress. It does not mean that the longer you charge, the faster you will hit. In that case. If I accumulate energy for a year, wouldn't I be able to kill even Barr instantly?
An attack with six times speed in three seconds. If you have a good weapon, you can already attack dozens of times in one second. Of course, if you only use fists or wrist blades, the frequency will be faster. This is also what we druids One of the advantages of assassins is this kind of speed. I think Kurast adventurers are almost like this. Moreover, I have also initially mastered feints. Although I am not very proficient, this is generally an intermediate combat skill that can only be mastered by Harrogath adventurers. Now, against adventurers of the same level, using feints will definitely have a big effect.
I am even more satisfied with the magic aspect. I have figured out the first level fire storm, and now I can change it as I want. Even the third level fire storm can barely be controlled. The next step is to study how to attach the power of the fire storm to the body or weapons. This It's more dangerous, so you have to think about it carefully.
And the lava rock, the second one discovered by soul magic after the Continuing Fire Storm, has also been mastered to a certain extent. For example, I can now cast it instantly, and I can control the bursting time of the lava boulder at any time. This is a very cumbersome skill, which can make the enemy hard to guard against, especially the control of the lava boulder to explode directly above my head. I once After several tests, the burst flame fragments can cover an area of five meters in radius, turning it into a fire pit and scorched earth. It also has impact properties. When attacked, even if the enemy is not dead, he will be knocked away by countless rubbles. It is more than one or two points more powerful than the mage's second-level ice magic, Frost Nova.
The only pity is that I can't control the direction in which the flaming rubble pops out. The lava rock explodes naturally, and the scattered flaming rubble covers the ground in all directions, so there is a lot of waste. If I can control these flaming rubble, all of it will be ejected. Shoot in the direction of the enemy and think about the scene at that time. Tsk tsk. I'm a little scared myself.
As for the third magic - volcanic explosion. Actually I was there a few days ago. In other words, when he was learning feints from the old drunkard, he had already found his soul imprint. It’s just that I’ve just mastered it. So not very skilled. The biggest shortcoming of volcanic explosions. I've said it before. It's a matter of accuracy. Within the area covered by volcanic explosions. The lava jets burst out in irregular patterns. It's possible that the monster is clearly standing in the center. But it happened not to hit. Therefore, controlling the position of the magma spray column is a top priority. After that, we will consider how to save - in case there are only a dozen enemies to kill. A volcanic explosion requires dozens of lava jets. Isn't this a waste?
Talk. The three magic seals are all fire magic. The soul imprint of the polar storm has still not been found. Could it be that my earth attribute is biased toward fire? That's not right. I'm such a calm person.
but. The progress in magic only goes so far. It seems to have hit a bottleneck recently. There has been little progress. But whatever. Even if you are temporarily stuck. In fact, Guang uses soul magic every day. You can exercise soul strength and mental strength. I finally understood why Tia could display such a terrifying rain of ice arrows. Except for a serious overdraft of mana. It is also inseparable from her powerful mental power. Consider that she has been practicing soul magic since she was a child. His mental power is probably as strong as that of a level 50 or 60 earth mage. No wonder the Horadric mages are so BT. It is difficult for ordinary mages to step into the power of the earth's realm in their lifetime. It's just a piece of cake for them. I think it's because of the magic of the soul.
alright. He actually hit a bottleneck in magic. Just think about it from a different angle. I put the magic book away. Open the door and walk downstairs. A burst of fragrance came. oh oh. Princess Sanwu, have you prepared breakfast?
For example. Professional-specific equipment comes with skills. Does the equipment also have magic engravings on it? Can I use soul magic to explore it? If the above conditions are true. Then can I use soul magic to optimize the magic included in the equipment. Even copied into his own soul. These ideas are alluring. But I can only think about it for now. Because of lack of ability. I'm not good enough yet to explore equipment with soul magic.
Just thinking about landing. Princess Sanwu has already served breakfast. ah. Rarely dressed in a white apron. I didn't bring my scarf or that weird big white hat. As expected, she still looks more like an ordinary girl.
I was wrong. Even if she was dressed normally, that emotionless doll face didn't look like an ordinary girl.
"Master, are you thinking of something rude?"
"Haha, I'm thinking about your face..." I replied subconsciously, and immediately realized what I was saying halfway through, covering my mouth in a panic. It only took a tenth of a second in total - like I'm such a smart person. Not much left now.
Princess Sanwu was already standing next to me, holding a silver plate in both hands and staring at me condescendingly as if she were looking at something inorganic.
"Breakfast is not ready yet, please wait a moment." After saying this, Princess Sanwu had a straight face and planned to return to the kitchen with the silver plate in hand.
"Didn't you bring it over already? It's ready. It's definitely done. You definitely want to go back to the kitchen and add some strange ingredients to it. I apologize. I'm wrong, but it's okay. Little Jasmine, you Just forgive me." I quickly hugged Princess Sanwu from behind, dragged her back, clasped my hands and begged for mercy.
Hey, by the way, am I really the master?
It was hard to give up Princess Sanwu’s idea of recreating breakfast. I quickly stuffed the hard-earned food into my stomach, but now is not the time to relax if I don't make this little one happy before noon. That lunch is likely to be a specialty of Kurast Seaport - a black mud. Of course, there may be some thoughtful meat in it, such as swamp leeches that are constantly wriggling...
After breakfast, I plan to go to the central area first to explore the main areas where adventurers are active. Maybe I can get a lot of useful information from the bar. This bar that adventurers frequent is just like the guild in the game. , you can always find out some fresh news in it. But there is no way of knowing whether it is true or false.
In addition, maybe I should go to Thorne. There is another person in charge - mercenary captain Asila. She is the head of the mercenaries here. Her position is somewhat similar to that of the old drunkard. In her place, you can sign an alliance contract with another major feature of Kurast's seaport - the sword mage. The mage mercenaries led by Asila are also called iron wolves in awe in Kurast. With her iron wolf mercenaries, Asheara has fought against demons here thousands of times and made great contributions to the siege of Kurast.
In addition to these two people, there are two other people worthy of my attention. One is Hera Tieli, the most famous blacksmith in Kurast. Unlike most blacksmiths who are barbarians and paladins, Hera Tieli is actually a The famous mage, also because of this. Although the weapons and armor he forged were not as strong and durable as other blacksmiths. But with the magic power of the mage, these equipment are even better in terms of attributes. Of course, the price was also much more expensive, and it was the same price. Many adventurers secretly told him that he was desperate for money.
The last person is the alchemist Ella. I don’t know much about him. I only know that he is a potion buyer. He always researches some weird things and is proficient in identification books. He seems to also work part-time as a gambling merchant. Khan
After sorting out the information in my mind, I diligently approached Princess Sanwu, who was sitting in a corner and flipping through a heavy book.
"Little Jasmine, why don't you come with me for a walk and get familiar with the environment."
The crystal clear eyes moved away from the book, fell on my face, and then nodded slightly, hehe, there is a drama, Princess Sanwu has been following me to Kurast, which means that it is only with me. In just a few hours after going to the central area and meeting Omus, I came to the south area to take care of everything, but I definitely didn’t have time to see the style of Kurast.
Today’s lunch at noon may be upgraded from swamp to barbecue.
"By the way, little Jasmine, your books..." I suddenly remembered the battle fortress-like study room behind Lu Gaoyin's villa, where had she stuffed the room full of books.
"storage box."
As I expected, I asked her why she kept running back and forth a few days before departure. It turned out that she was busy stuffing books into the storage box. Since the storage box is shared, as long as the books are put in Lu Goin's storage box can be taken out from Kurast's side, which is very convenient, but... isn't the storage box only used by job changers? "I asked curiously.
"Ding----"
Princess Sanwu did not answer, but with a pretty face, she coolly took out a few gems that I knew were priceless at a glance, and made a crisp sound in front of my eyes.
It turns out that this is the case, it turns out that you can buy it off with money. You have forgotten that this little thing is a richer landlord than me, a nouveau riche. In this damn money society, in this evil place, the maid is richer than her master.
After Princess Sanwu changed into her outfit, the two of us set off towards the central area, if I remember correctly. This is the first time that she and I have gone out together. I don’t know what this little girl does on a daily basis. Maybe I really neglected her a little bit.
The central area of Kurast, which is the activity area for adventurers, is also divided into several areas, one of which is the central platform where Omas took me. It is the center of Kurast, and even adventurers cannot enter it casually. The other area is the resting area for adventurers, which is a platform with hotels. Adventurers are usually lazy, and even if they have money, they are more willing to go there. Stay in a hotel instead of buying a house yourself. Buying a house is a hassle and you have to spend time looking for it. You have to clean, you have to cook, and you are far away from the central area. You have to ask someone to sell it when you leave (after all, not every adventurer is as rich as someone who is dealing with real estate). It is much better to stay in a hotel.
Then there is the entertainment area, which is home to all kinds of bars. Information exchanges between adventurers usually take place here. Of course, the boundary between hotels and bars is not obvious. Many bars double as hotels. This is also more convenient for those lazy adventurers, among other things. There are also some more special things, such as "women's streets", casinos, and even underground arenas. I won't understand these more negative things one by one.
Finally, there is the trading area. The adventurers of Kurast have gained considerable advantages in trading since childhood. They are no longer restricted like children in the Rogge camp like being taken care of. Basically, there have been a lot of equipment transactions here, including some golden equipment.
Unknowingly, a morning has passed, but the two of us have only covered less than one-half of the entire central area. This is also thanks to Princess Sanwu's amazing memory. After just a cursory look at the map, we have already made the most effective plan. Route - a route that can cover the entire central area without repeating it.
, isn’t it just that I have a higher IQ? I won't be jealous, really not at all...
"Little Jasmine. How far are we from the East District now?"
After the lunch problem I was worried about was successfully solved at a certain restaurant. I patted my belly and said with satisfaction. Haha, now I am not afraid even if I bully this little one a little bit. I seem to have forgotten that there is dinner and the future...
She closed her eyes and seemed to be searching for our current location in her mind. I even had the illusion of hearing the sound of hard disk reading. Within five seconds, she opened her eyes.
"It's very close, only half an hour away."
"Then let's set up Asila first. I'm very interested in her Iron Wolf mercenary team." I touched my chin and murmured. Princess Sanwu just nodded lightly. Shopping, but she seems to think that as long as she follows me, she can do anything. In this regard, she has fulfilled her duty as a maid. Of course, maybe this is the only thing...
Soon, we came to the East District and found Asila under the guidance of the students. Just like when I saw Omus just now, I stopped at a distance again, hesitating whether to step forward----or not? Are all the people in charge of Kurast so unique?
Asila, gender: female; age: looks about thirty years old, with long brown wavy hair, a classic look like a royal sister, tall and hot figure, at first glance I thought she was an Amazon, the most surprising thing What is helpless is her dress, which can be fully expressed in three words.
Bikini…
All over her body, she wore a sexy bikini outfit, which highlighted her towering breasts. Every step she took, it would be impossible to describe the dynamic feeling without being choppy. Apart from the underwear that was as slender as her body, the lower body only had two pairs of clothes hanging from the front and back. A piece of cloth barely covers the shameful part. If it moves or a gust of wind blows, the spring light will definitely leak out, a big leak. Compared with her, even Shiranui Mai would be ashamed----I wear it well It's really too conservative. Hey, hey, the one over there, summoning the updraft, face the wall automatically and consciously...
Therefore, if the students had not pointed out her identity in advance, I would have mistakenly thought that she was a woman from the women's street who came to solicit customers. Is such a person really the leader of a mage? Aren't all mages supposed to be stubborn and rigorous in character (please don't refer to people like misers)? If Tia made me have a different view, then Asilah in front of me completely subverted my concept.
what to do? Want to go up and say hello? Hey, forget it, one time comes, I just hope her character is not as weird as that damn Indian Asan from Omus.
"Oh, dear adventurer. Welcome, do you have any business with me? If you want to sign a mercenary contract with my cute little wolves, maybe I can give you some good candidates."
Asila, who was chatting with a red-robed wizard, noticed my arrival. She immediately turned around and greeted me warmly, her towering breasts swaying with her movements. The two strips of cloth that barely covered the shame area were raised even more...
"Ahem..." I was choking on my own breath. Maybe I really shouldn't have come.
"Ms. Asila, I'm not here to sign a mercenary contract, uh, just that..., here to visit." I said hastily, my mind was a little confused, damn, this woman is really scary.
"Visit. This is really a new word. You are probably an adventurer who has just arrived in Kurast. Come. Please sit down, my little guest." Asila said with a smile.
"Well, I'm sorry, I didn't disturb you." Seeing the red-robed mage mercenary retreating, I bowed slightly.
After sitting down, I took out Akara's code and showed my elder's certificate. Asila was obviously surprised by my identity.
"I didn't expect that His Excellency the Elder would come here. I'm really rude."
"Nothing, nothing. I'm just an elder in name only." I smiled and shook my head.
"If anything happens, please give me your instructions, Elder. As a member of the Adventurer Alliance, we Iron Wolf mercenaries are not afraid of any enemy." Asila said sonorously, with a heroic look in her eyes. The woman's unrivaled aura finally changed my impression of her a bit.
At this moment, the strange "thick scarf" around Asila's neck suddenly moved, and another head stuck out from behind her, sticking out its tongue. Staring at me with cold eyes.
Withdrawal of the preface, I originally thought that what she hung around her neck was just an old-fashioned "scarf", but unexpectedly it turned out to be a living big snake. She is indeed a strange wizard and a strange woman.
"Don't take the orders seriously. Let's help each other in the future. By the way, Asila, your mercenaries are relatively well-informed. I want to inquire about it. Ormus asked me to help him find the lost Gidbin. I wonder if you know What’s not there?”
"Gidebin? That's it. I don't know much about this matter. I only know that a few dwarves broke in during the few days when I was lost and seemed to have stolen a lot of things. Originally, my little wolves wanted to take these hateful things away. The dwarfs killed them, but they disappeared without a trace the next day. According to the investigation of my cute little wolf pack, there should be a loophole in a corner of the magic formation. Now I am also dealing with this matter. As for the Gidebin mentioned by the elder, I think it was probably stolen by those dwarves."
I didn't get any very useful information from Asila. The only thing that could be confirmed was that Gidbin seemed to have been stolen by the dwarves, but even if it was true. Where can I find it?
After chatting with Asheela for a short while, I hurriedly left. Before leaving, she enthusiastically explained to me that although old man Omas's character was a little strange, he was indeed a good person in charge. I hope I would not be The first time was misleading.
Okay, I won’t care about Omus for now. Akara may have her reasons for letting him be the person in charge. Asilah’s performance made me have a lot more confidence in Kurast. Speaking of Omus, she is too normal, of course, except for the dress...
"Next is Heratli, where is he? Does Little Jasmine know?"
After coming out of Asilah's residence, I established the second placement target. I was just about to take out a map and check it, but then I remembered that there was a human-shaped map machine beside me.
"To the west, in the central area, it's a two-hour journey." Sure enough, Princess Sanwu gave an accurate answer.
It would be more efficient to go to Heratli first at the beginning. Little Jasmine, you should occasionally remind me of my incompetent master. Looking at the expressionless Princess Sanwu, I was speechless and far away.
