Chapter 21: Weapons and Magic
Huge candles have been lit in the reception room, which not only illuminate the room like day, but also smell a hint of flowers as the giant candle burns. This is another fist product of the Wasteland Collar Factory, which has swept the circle of nobles at the beginning of its listing and earned a lot of money for the territory.
The meeting was short and cheerful, and the Lord Lord threw out a huge chest full of gold coins.
"Gentlemen, please see that I have prepared enough gold coins, and now it only takes you to pay enough courage. The Dark Elves occupied the fiefdoms of my ancestors, and they inflicted humiliation on me. I had pinned my hopes on the Empire, but the Empire could not give me the justice I wanted. Now I need to go and get back to the sleeping place of my ancestors myself, and clear it of the alien races to conquer them and drive them out of the territory that belongs to mankind! Li Bing grabbed a handful of gold coins and let them slip from his fingers, and the crisp sound of metal impacts entered people's ears.
"I've heard many stories of brave men with big swords and risking their deaths to spy on the treasures of the dragons, and in the end all they get is the false name of slaying the dragon and some useless scrap copper and rotten iron. Look here again, gentlemen, this box is full of gold coins, these gold coins are for adventurers like you, as long as you fight for me, as long as you conquer the dark elves, these gold coins will make you rich. You can bathe in honey, there are twenty beautiful women waiting every day, the barns in the house are piled up, and your children and grandchildren will be proud of you. ”
Lord Lord's seduction is not known whether it is really deeply rooted in people's hearts, but the way this maid representative stares at the gold coin is indeed what Lord Lord wants.
"In this operation, I will not only give you gold coins, but also provide you with a supply for the battle." Lord Lord waved his hand, and several armored barbarian warriors brought something and placed it next to the gold coin. The Lord Lord picked up one of them and said, "The armor-breaking arrows, carefully crafted by the master blacksmith, are equipped with ten for each archer, which is characterized by the resistance of leather. Iron tire bow, without more than two hundred pounds of strength can not be used, the effective killing range of two hundred steps, the longest attack distance of three hundred steps, characterized by leather solid resistance. After saying that, he threw the bow and arrow to one of the five-star archers.
"Cloth armor, which can be equipped with rear combat units such as archers, mages, and priests, can defend against ordinary arrows, and is characterized by leather resistance." Casually threw the cloth armor to the magician with the wand.
"Step shield, made of pure steel, this thing is not fancy to play a heavy, to that stand is a wall, characterized by leather solid resistance." After Li Bing's introduction, he found that he didn't seem to be able to carry this guy, so he signaled the mercenary next to him to come and see for himself.
"This pile of weapons, all made of stainless steel, is extremely sharp, and is characterized by leather resistance." The lord pointed to a pile of axes, hooks, forks, guns, and swords. "You can see this for yourself, and if you like it, I'll give it to you."
Then the lord lord walked over to the heavily armed barbarian warrior, patted the metal jar next to him, and said, "The heavy infantry armor is also made of pure steel, suitable for meat shields to resist towers, immune to intermediate swordsman attacks, and characterized by leather resistance."
Finally, the Lord Lord opened a small chest of "magic potions" to restore mana to magicians and priests, each equipped with a bottle for the first time. ”
"Guys, the initial equipment I just said is free, but the rest of these materials need to be exchanged for military merit. Gold coins are also accepted, but they will be expensive. ”
"My lord, what do you mean by military merit?" The archers, who had already been fascinated by the broken armor arrows and the iron tire bow, asked Li Bing's voice as soon as his voice fell.
After saying so many words in one breath, the lord lord was holding a cup of tea and drinking cattle. The secretary on the side saw the situation and introduced: "Gentlemen, the calculation method of military merit is like this, we take ordinary soldiers as the benchmark, each ordinary soldier killed is one point of military merit, and the prisoner is two points of military merit, and the number of military merits obtained accordingly for each promotion is multiplied by ten." For example, capturing an ordinary Dark Elf soldier will result in two military merits, and capturing a one-star Dark Elf archer will be twenty. The two-star Dark Elf Archer is two hundred military merits, and so on, and the magic class is multiplied by ten times on this basis. ”
"So how can these pieces of equipment be exchanged for military merit?"
"Take the armor-breaking arrow in your hand as an example, each military merit can be exchanged for one, and the iron tire bow requires a hundred military merits."
"What about this great sword in my hand?"
"How many military feats does this double-sided axe have?"
"How many military feats does this cloth armor potion have?"
At this time, the Lord's Mansion was a bit like a hypermarket, and these guys who could still maintain a little restraint in front of the gold coins instantly transformed into the egg-leading aunt.
"All right, warriors, calm down!" Lord Lord had to intervene to quell the chaos. "As I mentioned earlier, the weapons I offer are made of steel. You are all people who have seen the world, the price of steel must also be in mind, our weapons are calculated according to the weight of one military merit per kilogram, for example, this giant sword weighs 21.5 kilograms, that is 21.5 military merits. And this pair of daggers weighs 4.6 pounds, which is 4.6 military feats, and this algorithm includes infantry shields and heavy infantry armor. Each set of cloth armor has 50 military merits, and mana potions have 200 military merits per bottle. But I want to emphasize that I do not support individual exchange, I only for the mercenary groups here, you can exchange for internal distribution, that is not my business. ”
Raised his hand to stop the archers who wanted to interject. "As for the Rangers, if any of you are willing to be loyal to the territory, you can support half-price exchange, and if there is no consideration in this regard, you can accumulate more than 50 military merits before redeeming."
"What if the adults buy it with gold?" At this time, the priest, who had not spoken, spoke up.
Spreading his hands, the lord lord said helplessly, "If the gold coin exchange is exchanged, I am afraid that I can only disappoint you, and the potion does not support gold coin exchange for the time being." In addition to potions, what you want to exchange for gold is the number of military feats required multiplied by three times. ”
The magician and the priest looked at each other, looking like they knew this. Magic classes are scarce, as are magic equipment. Lord Lord's hand these potions were hard to obtain at a great cost, and naturally it was impossible for people to easily change them.
The magic profession is noble, but practicing magic is also difficult. If ordinary people can cultivate douqi through cultivation, then the success rate of cultivating magic is only one-tenth of douqi.
Cultivating magic must first have strong spiritual power, and this alone cut off the possibility of the vast majority of intelligent beings on the continent wanting to become magicians. At the same time, if you have the corresponding physique, it is easier to get the recognition of the magic element.
Magicians believe that magical elements are as ubiquitous as air, and that only superhuman spiritual powers can perceive them and manipulate them. And if you have a physique with an affinity for a certain element, it is more conducive to perceiving this element. For example, this fire mage of the Giant Beast Mercenary Corps has a fire element affinity physique, so he can be more efficient when learning and casting fire magic, casting spells faster, and the power of spells is also more powerful. Correspondingly, casting other magic spells is slower and less powerful.
The legendary god of magic divides the magical elements of the world into six elements: light, darkness, water, fire, earth and air. The magicians inherited this saying, believing that the six elements were above all else, above good, evil, order, and chaos, and were the evolutionists of all things and the terminators of all things, breaking the balance of the six elements and the beginning of the destruction of the world.
The power of high-level magic is so terrifying that even a high-level magician can destroy a city. So after experiencing the horrific baptism of the Ancient Gods and Demons War, the only nine remaining Saint Order magicians on the continent built a magic tower in the legendary Void Land "Draenor" to limit the interference of high-level magicians in the secular world.
After the long development of the Middle Ages, there is now a magic tower in every great city on the mainland. They not only impart magical knowledge to intelligent beings, but are also responsible for monitoring the movements of all high-ranking magicians to prevent too powerful magical forces from disrupting the balance of the world. However, the control of the magic tower is limited to high-level mages and above, and below the middle level is not within the scope of the magic tower.
At present, the only magic tower in the empire is located in the imperial capital, the ancient building that has existed since the time of the orc empire, no one knows how much powerful power there is in it, and no one will ever explore him.
The magicians were strictly controlled, and some of the corresponding magic items were also strictly controlled, of course, some magic items for ordinary people were not controlled, such as the perfume given to the lord when the merchant and the lord first met. But items like the Potion, which can indirectly increase the magician's strength, are not so easy to obtain.
It can also be seen that these mr. Ross used all his connections and spent a lot of gold coins to get these potions, I am afraid that they can not be regarded as high-grade goods. But even so, every bottle of potion here is put on the black market and has no market, and it can be used as the finale at an auction.
