My Magic Age

Chapter 173 173. Pseudo-magic arrows

Our team walked south along the branch of Yelian Mountain until we were more than ten kilometers away. Looking back, we could see the owner of Horsens standing on a boulder and waving to us. As long as you raise your head slightly, you can see the bare Yelian Mountain. There is not even a decent tree. Excessive cutting has exposed the solid rocks on the surface of the entire mountain. You can still find them between the mountain walls through the green weeds. It was cut down a long time ago, and the stumps are rotten and black. I think if there is a heavy rain, maybe some mushrooms can grow here.

Looking at the entire barren mountain, the exposed rocks are gradually being transformed by the wind and sand blowing from Qinghai Lake. The place has begun to become barren. I can't help but wonder who cut down these trees.

It’s not too far from the Beigou Valley Mining Site to the Drowning Pond on the edge of the Death Swamp. However, we often encounter wandering swamp zombies in the wilderness along the way. These potential threats to us need to be eliminated bit by bit. , so our team walked very slowly.

Thirteen hundred gray dwarf slaves followed the team, with heavy shackles on their feet. Every ten gray dwarves were strung together by iron chains. Everyone's actions needed to be consistent, otherwise they might fall together. Unfortunately, I can't walk any faster like this. The gray dwarves rarely had enough to eat throughout the winter and even in the spring. In the past month, each person could only get one piece of potato per day. Seeing them stumbling, I thought that no matter how hard I whipped them, it would be impossible. Quicken their pace.

Nowadays, Sister Guoguo has also fallen in love with Yaguimon. Every day when she is free, she will leave Gubo Laima aside and sit on Yaguimon to chat with me. She is very fond of me and Kuz’s trip to the northern wilderness. I am full of curiosity as to why we two brothers have undergone such a big change in just over a month, and our working style is not even like that of two children. And what shocked her the most was the endless new ideas and the speed at which Kurtz and I were able to save money.

The purchase of slaves this time has to be said to be a big deal. No one would believe that the family behind Kurtz would give Kurtz the right to use such a large amount of money. In fact, even Horsens did not expect that Kurtz would be so rich, so he just made the move. He bought all the slaves in his hands for one hundred and thirty gold coins. How many orcs could not make so much money in their lifetime.

In fact, I think the people who were most surprised were the two people riding horses in the wilderness, Vilu and Jambach. They have been with the Laitu tribe for so long. It is not difficult to find out how we started. When we were in the northern wilderness, we led the beast girls to hunt the devil antelope herds with a large number of magic scrolls. Later, we hunted the devil antelopes in the outer suburbs of Gurudin Town. Using the magic scroll formation to defeat Balent's gray dwarf bandit group, there is no way to hide these things from those who are interested. They will not believe that just by selling magic antelope skins or selling those fine salts and hundreds of sets of dwarf chain mail, we have the confidence to squander these scrolls that are not even low-level magic without restraint. reel.

"Why do you two have so much money?" Sister Guoguo was very curious. She knew that Qige and I drew the magic scroll, but she also knew that after we arrived in Gurudin Town, we never changed the magic scroll. Split the money.

I lay on my back in the leather saddle of the Yagui beast, with my head resting on my hands and squinting at the clouds in the sky. I remembered Qige's appearance before she left. She was like a hook hanging in the night sky. Silver Moon, I didn’t even dare to look at her with that beautiful face. In the past two months that I have been with her day and night, she always appears in front of me looking as innocent as the sister next door. Although I know that she will always downplay her beauty, I never thought that the gap between us is so big. .

Before she left, she was still worried that Kuz and I might be in danger on our trip to drown. She was also worried that the twenty-five gold coins that Kuz and I brought from selling fine salt would not be enough to cover the expenses of the entire Laitu tribe. , Qige has a lot of feelings for those beast girls. Along the way in the wilderness, whether The beast girls would be very attentive to help Miss Qi when it came to collecting herbs, drying them, transporting them, setting up tents and other trivial matters. Qige was worried that we didn’t have enough money to buy food, so Qige and I discussed that we would use three hundred dollars to buy food. Zhang exchanged the Fire Gathering Scroll with her brother-in-law for a hundred gold coins.

I was in a daze, immersed in the memories with Qige, and even forgot to answer Sister Guoguo's question.

"Ha! It's still a secret? Can't you tell me?" Sister Guoguo's thin lips curved upward in a cute arc, and her smile was very special.

Kuz sat on Aguimon's neck and drove Aguimon forward. The road ahead was smooth and he didn't have to keep looking at the road ahead. At this time, he turned his head and said to Sister Guoguo: "We brothers are now considered The largest salt merchant in the orc tribe, didn’t he still sell five thousand kilograms of fine salt before coming?”

"Hey, how much is that salt worth?" Sister Guoguo curled her lips and said, "You always have to find a better reason, whether it's making up a story about encountering a top-quality magic herb in the Beilu Wasteland or selling it. It’s okay to buy a batch of magic cores, but you can’t always use the excuse of selling salt to excuse everything!”

Sister Guoguo glanced at the large boxes carried on the back of Yagui Beast, and said earnestly: "You brought a tribe of hundreds of people all the way here, and the beast girls in those tribes ate every meal. What? Delicious meat jerky and sausage with wheat Pancakes, even the wolf cavalry stationed in Gurudin Fortress can't compare with you for such food. Let's look at what you used along the way! No matter the desert or the barren grassland, it can't stop you. You know this. What?"

There is no doubt that everyone knows that it relies on scrolls. We use those cheap scrolls as a matter of course in the Beilu Wasteland, and sometimes even distribute those magic scrolls to the poor hunters wandering in the wasteland, and we never have any scruples. So when we lead such a large group of people on the road in the wilderness, we habitually divide the magic scrolls in our hands, the fire-gathering scrolls and the failed frost scrolls that can condense water balls.

No one deliberately asked us where these scrolls came from, but Sister Guoguo's words reminded us that we should find a reason for the existence of these magic scrolls.

"Vilu is very curious about your so-called magic arrows!" Sister Guoguo gently stroked the magic wand with one hand. When she encountered a problem, she would always keep playing with her wand. She stared at me and said, "Why do the orc tribes on the Pai Plateau have this thing? I just heard that the elves in the Evernight Forest like to make such flashy things. I don't believe it was Old Kuru who taught you this."

I opened my mouth wide and looked at each other with Kurtz. I didn't expect that this whimsical attention would actually interest Vilu. This is not considered a magic arrow. Real magic arrows require the inscriptionist to use a magic carving knife to directly draw the magic pattern array on the arrow shaft. The arrow clusters can simply be made of magic crystals. This kind of magic arrows are extremely powerful. Incomparable, the price is equally expensive.

Without any hesitation, Kuz reached out and took out an ordinary feathered arrow made of fine iron arrow clusters from the quiver and handed it to Sister Guoguo. Behind the arrow cluster of this feathered arrow, there was a thin sheet stuck to the shaft. Magic sheepskin scroll, this is the magic arrow that Qige and I imitated based on our whims.

"You also know that Jia is a magic genius. No matter how thin the magic parchment is, he can draw a frost scroll. No magician would like such a secondary magic scroll, but we only have a slight understanding of it. The formula of magic ink has been improved, and the scroll has been made slightly thinner. Come on, if these arrows with magic scrolls attached to them can be considered magic arrows!" After Kuz said this, his eyes fell on the two magic-sealing wooden boxes beside him, and he stretched out his slender hand and patted the lids of the wooden boxes easily! , and then said proudly: "Our two boxes are full of frost scrolls on arrow shafts."

"Sister, I think so!" I turned over comfortably in the leather saddle of Yagui Beast and said to Sister Guoguo: "When we return to El Town, maybe we can open a magic scroll workshop like this. Fire scrolls are cheap to make and easy to use, right?"

Sister Guoguo looked carefully at the feather arrow with the magic scroll stuck on the arrow shaft behind the arrow cluster. She looked incredible, as if someone had opened another door to the magical world in front of her eyes, and said with sudden enlightenment. : "It turns out it can still be like this."

"Are there scrolls in these two boxes?" A flush appeared on Sister Guoguo's face. She probably never knew that for me, I can draw eighty of these frost scrolls even if I can't make a hundred. Zhang, it’s as simple as eating, it’s too familiar.

Kuz pointed at the magic-sealing boxes on Yaguimon's back, and said in a show off: "These are all, but those boxes contain scrolls of the fire-gathering technique."

"What on earth do you want to do by bringing so many scrolls to the drowning pond!" No one cares more about magic scrolls than the magician, especially when she finds that fire-gathering scrolls and frost scrolls are as worthless as rotten cabbage. Her values Totally subverted.

I said: "We want to destroy those swamp zombies that destroyed the homeland of the orc tribe!"

Kurtz said: "Build our home again!"

After walking all the way from Windmill Hills and meeting Death Scythe, a mage killer from the undead ghost clan that night, Kurtz discovered that this frost scroll stuck to the feather arrows had such an unexpected effect, so he and the maid Asakusa quickly made dozens of feather arrows with ice magic.

However, I feel that such feather arrows have given up damage, and are not as good as frost traps paired with wind fang arrows. Since Viru was interested in our imitation magic arrows, Kuz was quite generous and directly counted out ten frost feather arrows and handed them to Sister Guoguo, and asked her to pass them on to the demon-hunting archer Viru no matter what.

In fact, Kurtz and I have always had a huge rock hanging in our hearts, that is, the Death Scythe among the zombies in the swamp. They were worried that these assassins coming out of the swamp would cause fatal harm to the ordinary orcs in the tribe. Ordinary orcs would not be able to escape the sneak attack of the death scythe at night.

Regarding the Swamp Zombie King and the Swamp Zombies, Kuz and I were fully prepared when we were in Grudin Town. At that time, Kuz’s brother Chief Kut also mentioned that there was a ghost called Death deep in the Death Swamp. sickle, and repeatedly warned us not to be caught by this He was targeting undead creatures, but he didn’t say much, just saying that Death Scythes can only live in the foggy Death Swamp, where there is no sunlight all year round. Death Scythes are afraid of light and electric magic, but they always It is accustomed to hiding in the depths of swamps and rarely does not come out.

Only demon-hunting archers like Viru can naturally restrain the death scythe of the undead creature. However, even if Viru uses the wind wolf fang arrow, he is not sure to retain a death scythe that may sneak into the darkness at any time. But if there were such frost feather arrows, it might be different.

In fact, Kuz gave the feather arrows to Viru, with the intention of asking Viru to take care of the ordinary orcs in the Laitu tribe and have more means to hunt death sickles. These undead creatures at the peak of the first level are similar to the swamp corpse king, and their soul fire is much stronger. Almost all of them have magic cores in their heads. Hunting death sickles is a win-win for Viru.

However, that night, after receiving ten frost feather arrows, Viru sent five magic cores to Kuz.

This kind of magic core without peeling the hard shell is like a walnut. No one can predict how big the magic crystal inside is. Sometimes, if you are unlucky, the peeled magic crystal will not be much bigger than a grain of rice, and in that case, it will be considered blind. If you are lucky, the peeled magic crystal is like a walnut kernel, and the crystal magic element attribute is single, then you will make a lot of money.

This kind of magic core without peeling the magic crystal can generally be sold for seven or eight gold coins in the market of Guluding Town. If you take it back to Green Imperial Capital, it will never be less than ten gold coins.

That is to say, Viru bought the ten frost feather arrows at the price of five gold each. It can be seen that he did not want to be bound by the orcs in our entire Laitu tribe. He would rather pay a high price to buy those feather arrows than owe favors.

... Beautiful dividing line...

There was a crystal hanging lamp with magic crystals in Sister Guoguo's tent. I remember the first time I lay in Sister Guoguo's tent and saw this particularly exquisite crystal hanging lamp was when I was in Xinghu Grassland. That time I accidentally got sick and was burned by the fire poison left by the fire element. Later, when I woke up, I was sleeping in this tent.

"Viru..." Sister Guoguo hesitated for a long time, trying to explain, but didn't know how to start.

I can understand Viru's thoughts. He is only responsible for protecting the people around him. He only followed us to Drowning Pond once, which was also to protect me and Kuz. As for other orcs, he didn't care at all and couldn't manage them.

However, before we came to Drowning Pond, we were fully prepared. The beastwomen of the Laitu tribe were much stronger than they appeared. They knew more clearly what they were going to face next. However, Drowning Pond was their home. They could go home, so what was the danger?

"Sister, I can figure it out myself. Things are not as bad as we think!" I turned to Sister Guoguo and said.

At this time, I was squatting on the wolfskin mattress and spreading my guinea pig skin sleeping bag. Sister Guoguo, who was standing next to me, was wearing a white nightgown. She tied her hair into a ponytail so that she could sleep more comfortably.

The orcs living on the edge of the swamp also have rich survival experience. It is no secret that these death sickles are afraid of light, so the orcs' way to deal with the death sickles' sneak attacks is simpler. At night, they light a few more torches and a few more bonfires in the camp. The orcs sleep together around the bonfire. This is the safest way for them, just as the optimistic Gerile said: No matter what I encounter, I can always think of the good.
