Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

More than half an hour ago, the sixth floor of the mine.

"Adventurer, do you believe in equivalent exchange?"

The sudden sound from behind made Fang Yi alert. The hand holding the page shook involuntarily, and the things in his hand fluttered to the ground.Fang Yi didn't care about picking up things, he turned around in an instant with a side jump, saw the things standing behind him clearly, and immediately turned his heart.

A light green ghost stood behind him, different from those grotesque shapes just now. The ghost in front of him was in the shape of a dwarf, with a beard and braids. Fang Yi could even distinguish the thick fur boots and feet with palms that are unique to dwarves np. Wide buckskin belt.

Every time an NPC in the wild speaks, it must be either a task or a hassle.Fang Yi quietly threw out a probing technique, and the feedback information made Fang Yi feel cold: the level is three question marks. . .

Fang Yi has a lot of experience in dealing with NPCs, so he put the weapon in his hand immediately, and showed a bright smile: "Hello, hello, I am an adventurer who came here by chance. May I ask who you are...?"

"Adventurer, do you believe in equivalent exchange?"

Tsk, it seems to be a fixedly triggered dialogue. Thinking of the current situation, Fang Yi wisely chose to follow the other party's words, "Yes, I believe it."

The dwarf ghost nodded, and with a move, the pages on the ground flew lightly into Fang Yi's hands, "You have accepted the legacy of the forerunner, so, in order to prove that you have the ability to match this knowledge, please answer my answer." The next three questions.”[

Fang Yi listened carefully to the dwarf's words, half understanding the meaning, but before he could speak, the ghost of the dwarf had already asked the first question.

"What kind of obvious bonus does the perfect quality silver ore have on the magical effect of the warm color crystal?"

warm. . .warm what?Fang Yi stared at the dwarf ghost with an expression on his face, he couldn't turn his head, "Well, respected dwarf... sir, I haven't learned forging skills..."

"Avoiding the question will be regarded as giving up, adventurer, are you sure to give up answering this question?"

"No no, don't give up,"

The dwarf ghost's tone without a trace of emotion immediately made Fang Yi angry, and he was trying to punish him, wouldn't I know others?Thinking of this, Fang Yi immediately pulled out the friend list, and was about to send a message to Lao Zuo, but it would be okay if he didn't read it. Fang Yi's face turned black when he saw the status of the friend list.

All the names on the friend list turned gray, they were in an uncontactable state, and even the message manager was locked—a special situation actually cut off the character from the outside world.

It was too cruel, Fang Yi cursed in his heart, but the dwarf ghost didn't care about it. Seeing that Fang Yi didn't reply for a long time, the dwarf ghost's cold voice sounded again, "adventurer, you still have 20 seconds to answer the question."

Fang Yi patted his head and scratched his forehead, and finally let out a long breath, "Extra magic damage?"

"wrong answer."

"Additional equipment armor?"

"wrong answer."

. . .

"The time is up, and the answer to the first question failed."

Fang Yi pursed his lips and listened to the cold words of the old dwarf, but immediately jumped up as if his tail was stepped on, because after the dwarf finished speaking, a series of system prompts appeared on Fang Yi's retina. [

"If the knowledge test of the player cube fails, the highest level will be selected from all the skills of the player."

"The skill with the highest player level is Combat Skill: Two-Weapon Defense (Level 5 13%)"

"The level of the dual-weapon defense skill is reduced to level 4 by 13%, and the player gets 5 special skill points"

this this this. . . ?

Seeing that the skill was downgraded by one level for no reason, Fang Yi was both surprised and angry. He didn't care what kind of unknown level monster the other party was, and complained to the dwarf ghost, "You bastard! Where are my skills? Level up? Say a word, you green-skinned fat dwarf..."

This is the first time Fang Yi encounters a skill that will drop the level by himself. This task is too weird. At this moment, Fang Yi suddenly feels that the thin piece of paper in his hand has a mysterious atmosphere from inside to outside.

The dwarf ghost still had a cold expression, watching the thieves jumping up and down in front of him, he didn't say anything, and it took half a minute before he spoke again.

"Second question, which demi-artifact in history has a sapphire wrapped in mithril as its core?"

"...Can I give up this task?" Fang Yi has completely understood that the questions in this task are all related to gems and ores. Well!

"Abandoning the task will be considered a failure to answer."

. . .

Needless to say, Fang Yi got more than a dozen answers all wrong, and his two-weapon defense skill was reduced to level 3 by 13%.

Five minutes later, Fang Yi gritted his teeth and looked at the dwarf ghost in front of him.At this time, Youhun's body became much lighter. With his hands folded in front of his chest, his light green transparent body slowly rose into the air, and slowly disappeared into the air. The voice without any emotion reached Fang Yi's ears again.

"Adventurer, I hope you can work hard to hone your skills, and let those lost skills reappear on Faerun Continent, and live up to the painstaking efforts of the great craftsman..."

Fang Yi held the page in his hand, and pointed his middle finger at the green figure who had almost disappeared in the air: Your sister's master craftsman, you stole my third-level skill, why don't you die!

***

"That's what happened. I was forcibly deducted a third-level skill in vain. If it wasn't for the fact that I haven't identified this page, I would have complained to the game company," Fang Yi's tone of anger remained undiminished, obviously still angry at being np " "Yin" I hate this matter, "Do you know how difficult it is to upgrade a skill? It will take more than a month for me to upgrade this skill next time! And the most annoying thing is..."

"The most exasperating thing is," Lao Zuo didn't see any sympathy on his face after hearing Fang Yi's complaints. Use whatever you want, right?"

"How do you know? Did you really get something similar?" Fang Yi's spirit was lifted by Lao Zuo's words, and he hurriedly asked.As Lao Zuo said, the dual-weapon defense skill dropped by three levels, and the vacated [-] skill points and normal points are displayed separately. The system explained that the [-] points can only be used for blacksmith-related skills.

In fact, Fang Yi still trusts the principle of double effort and double reward advertised in the game, but this deduction of skills is too ruthless, which is equivalent to indirectly deducting the player's game time, and the game time and adventures are suspected to be the player's The two most important things.

Lao Zuo nodded with a smile, took out a book page of the same size as Fang Yi's from his backpack, and handed it to Fang Yi, "Look at this first."

Diary of a Gem Carver - Page [-] (Excellent Wonders)

Equipment requirements: blacksmith skill level - novice

Weight: 1

A page in the diary left by the great craftsman and carver, which records many exquisite drawings and rich mineral knowledge, leaving precious wealth to the blacksmiths of later generations.

Collect all thirteen pages and hit them together, the equipment quality will be significantly improved.

"It is said that the carver has very strict requirements on his apprentices. He has taught apprentices in his life, but only a few of them have been recognized by him."

Fang Yi carefully observed the attribute introduction of the page in his hand, and there were rows of text below it. It was supposed to be those knowledge and blueprint formulas, but only the equipment owner could see it. Fang Yi himself saw only a bunch of ghost symbols.

"Sure enough, it's a set." Fang Yi put together two pages and compared them. The shapes, sizes and colors are basically the same, and they should belong to the same kind of equipment. "How did you get this stuff, old Zuo?"

Lao Zuo stood up, opened his mouth and said to Fang Yi, "Let's talk while walking, I guess I can't identify this page of yours, I have to find that old elf."

It was already bright outside the house, and the people from the Hague Guild had long since disappeared.The sun in the west casts thousands of rays of light on the rain clouds and the earth, dyeing the western world in golden red.But there were still dark clouds over Swordfish Village, but the rain was getting lighter. Fang Yi walked on the path in the village, listening carefully to Lao Zuo's story about this piece of equipment.

"... I accidentally received a task in the blacksmith shop. The goal is to mine a certain amount of ore within the specified time and improve the blacksmith's skills by a certain level. completed before."

"As a result, when I went to hand in the task, the blacksmith came back from the tavern, drank in a daze, and just asked me to pick one out of a bunch of things." Old Zuo talked eloquently, thinking of the task situation at that time, he couldn't help laughing, " There was everything in that pile, but this page was exceptionally well preserved, and it was packed in an exceptionally beautiful box, so of course I chose it.”

Fang Yi on the side was dumbfounded: so simple?How does it sound. . .It feels like the blacksmith chose this thing on purpose? ?

"Old Zuo, you are a paladin, right?" Fang Yi thought of a possibility, and asked tentatively, "Can you tell me how attractive you are?"

"Seventeen o'clock", Lao Zuo immediately understood Fang Yi's meaning and replied with a smile.

Sure enough, I saw the charmer again.

Charm is the key attribute of a paladin's spellcasting, and it is much more reliable than the strange charm of that warrior, the Black Mountain Demon.However, if the charm is high to a certain level, there are indeed many benefits. If Fang Yi does this task by himself, no matter how beautifully he completes it, it is estimated that such an obvious prompt will not appear.

"By the way, how did you avoid those messy things in the sixth-floor passage?"

Hearing Lao Zuo's question, Fang Yi simply told Lao Zuo the method, since there was nothing inside anyway.

Who knew that after listening to Fang Yi's words, Lao Zuo's expression was unbelievable, "Impossible~ Someone has tried this method a long time ago, with all kinds of stones installed, all kinds of protective magic added, and some people even took off the equipment After going in, I was still killed in seconds, and we even went to the group to watch the excitement. Are you sure that those low-quality ores are working?" (To be continued.)
