Chapter 13 The Countess’s Wealth
Seven people with light spells on their heads are carefully guarding against attacks that may appear from the darkness. This is the Tower of Forgotten, which is the scene where the Countess is. After a month, Im Rick led six people to fight their way out of Rogge's camp and arrived at the black wasteland where the Tower of Forgotten was located.
Because it didn't start from level zero, it was very fast. Kidd provided sufficient supplies, and Coster was able to repair the equipment in his free time. Apart from the physical and mental exhaustion from the high-intensity battle, the journey was very smooth.
The Dragon Prince walked at the front of the team. With the martial arts of the original owner and the blessing of the dragon, Imrik was undoubtedly the strongest in the team, but he was slightly lacking in experience. He was also constantly grinding along the way. With practice, he has been able to deal with multiple enemies very skillfully.
The Tower of Forgotten is filled with darkness, with only scattered torches illuminating some environments. The dragon's blessing allows Imric to see the night as day, but there are always some special circumstances.
Several gray ghost figures suddenly appeared from the dark corners. These ghosts were bound here by black magic after being tortured endlessly. They attacked outsiders without mercy, and their ethereal souls were still howling. Call.
When the ghost appeared, there was no need for Imrik to remind him that Hadaris had already used the Luin Flame Sword on several people's weapons. It was difficult for ordinary physical attacks to harm these incorporeal souls, and they had to rely on magic.
A blazing fire rose from the bottom of the long sword in his hand. Imric raised his sword to slash at the ghosts. These monsters only relied on instinct to fight. Their biggest feature was that they were spiritual units. After the flaming sword was swung, they The world disappeared, but Imric did not relax his vigilance. He was now on the fifth floor of the Tower of Forgotten, and he didn’t know what kind of methods the countess would use to deal with her and others. When she was fighting against the Blood Ravens, because of He was careless and suffered some injuries.
"Stay vigilant, we will face the countess soon."
After several turns and dealing with a large number of demons and undead creatures, we finally arrived at the countess' location.
There were a large number of monsters beside her, but the Caledonians would not be afraid of this situation and directly ordered to charge.
Not long after, the Dragon Prince chopped off the head of the countess who used virgin blood to maintain her youth. Although she looked very gorgeous, she didn't know if she was actually older than him.
Ordering others to stay alert, Imric planned to find the so-called treasure of the countess. It was said that there was an astonishing amount of wealth in the Tower of Forgotten. He didn't care how much gold and gems there were. The key was the runes. Along the way, Apart from clasping two runes on Blood Crow's bow, there was nothing gained.
Knocking on the surrounding walls with his hand, the echo from the wall behind was slightly different from the surrounding walls. He ordered Coster to bring the hammer to him, and then smashed it hard against the old wall.
A burst of dust rose up, and I covered my mouth and nose with my hands. After going out, I had to find a river to cleanse my body. It was really dirty. The coagulated blood, dust, and sweat all emanated from the body, no matter it was Asul. Whether it was his instinct to love cleanliness or his old habits, Imrik was very uncomfortable with it.
After waiting for a moment and the dust settling, Imrik walked in with a sword. According to some folk tales, a large amount of wealth is guarded by a powerful demon. Although he killed the countess, he was always careful and not wrong.
The secret room hidden in the wall is not very big, about thirty square meters, but there are about thirty large sealed wooden boxes inside. It seems that the countess found them before sealing the tower, and used a sword to cut off the iron locks. , kicked the lid of the wooden box open.
When the wooden box was opened, it shook a little due to Imrik's power, and dozens of gold coins fell out from inside. There was no part about the demon guarding the wealth. He bent down and picked up a gold coin that fell on the ground. It had the image of an unknown king on it. Although Asur did not have gold addiction like the dwarves, there were still a large number of gold products in society, which were circulated in various kingdoms. It is also a currency called gold leaf. Imrik can easily tell the gold content. This is a gold coin with a content of at least 85%.
There are at least tens of thousands of identical gold coins in this box, as well as many different types of gems and gold products. These things can temporarily relieve Caledor's tight financial situation, but what he wants most is not these things, so he goes one by one. Open the remaining boxes.
Finally, I found something else in the deepest box, including three weapons, two shields, a few accessories and three runes. I nodded with satisfaction and finally shipped the goods. I hit the countess and several I am still wearing novice equipment. These equipment will be of great help in the next battle.
Ordering others to come in, Davian and Bruni continued to guard outside.
When the four people came in, they first saw the treasures in the house, which were shining with golden light under the light of the torch. Even though Asul's wealth was only comparable to that of the dwarves, the amount still shocked them a little. They really didn't expect a A fallen human female monkey has so much wealth.
He ordered the three men of Masno to put gold and gems into their backpacks. If these items could be brought to Ulthuan, Imric would not need to worry about the financial pressure caused by the expansion of the army, at least until the battle of Fennuvar Plains.
He took the weapon in his hand to Coster for appraisal. The knowledge he learned from Qiaxi gave him a rough understanding of the equipment in the dark world. The blind priest carefully checked the magic effect on the weapon. For him, Identifying these things is also a new experience and takes some time.
After checking for a moment, Coster said, "Prince, the magic on these weapons is very powerful, but it is not the rune enchantment used by Vaal priests or Dwarf Duozi rune blacksmiths. It is somewhat similar to blessing." Blessing
? That is to say, it is similar to God-given weapons, which makes Imrik somewhat unexpected. God-given weapons are often unique. The most famous God-given weapon is undoubtedly the Divine Sword of Kane, but this thing in his hand is very unique. Obviously it is very different from God-given weapons.
Picking up the saber in his hand, his strength and speed felt slightly improved. Imric knew that this thing should be Glintis' meat fork. Its attributes in the game are to increase damage, ignore the target's defense, and increase agility. and strength, and can also steal mana during attacks. The rune blacksmith can enchant items with up to three runes. The Vaal blacksmith also has similar rules, but there is no such rule in Diablo. The more the better.
After pondering for a moment, "After returning to Ulthuan, I will take out some weapons for the Vaal priests to study. I need an enchantment method that does not require the cost of life force." Coster nodded, and he naturally knew that
Imrik One of the goals in this world is to find a way to replace the Vaal anvil forging skills that have been passed down for thousands of years.
Although the skills taught by the god Vaal are very useful, the lifespan consumed by the blacksmiths is a heartache for every Dragon Prince and Vaal High Priest. If it can be effectively solved, it will be a problem for Caledor and the Vaal Priesthood. Something of great significance.
Together with the others, he started to put away the gold coins and gems. What Imrik wanted to do most now was to clean his body. It was so sticky and uncomfortable.
