Ryan's Sword

Chapter 32 No.30 Act II Treasure Hunt

"..."

Facing the unexpected persistence of this profiteer, Ian couldn't help but stop.He thought for a while and said, "Two golden oak leaves plus five silver oak leaves, the price is the same! If you continue to bargain, I will leave immediately!"

"Okay! Just do as you say!"

With a bitter old face, the profiteer held three props and handed them to Ian as if a piece of meat had been dug out, and said, "Chenghui, two golden oak leaves and five silver oak leaves, guest, you How shrewd!"

Seeing the shameless performance of "I lost money" on this guy's face, Ian rolled his eyes helplessly again. Obviously, the price he quoted was still higher than the profiteer's psychological expectations, otherwise, he would never have agreed to do so simply.

As for the prices in the junior adventurer's market, Ian can only make a rough estimate, and he can't know the prices of all commodities like he did when he was hanging out in the official exchange in his previous life.For him, no matter what he needs after he reaches the gold rank, there will be younger brothers in the guild running errands to buy it for him. He himself stays away from places like the market and focuses on improving his strength.

However, Ian, who is well-off, did not care about the gain or loss of one or two gold coins with this dead profiteer. He paid the money readily, put the three props into the package behind his back, and then, amidst the boss's winks and farewell sounds, , walked out of the shop.

"With these three things, the three most valuable treasures found by players in Lewisburg should be able to be taken out smoothly," Ian thought to himself after marking three marked points on the small map : "Let's put aside those challenging places in the wild, let's start in the city today!" He raised his head and glanced to the northeast, where an old clock tower stood quietly on layers of different heights. Center of the roof.

This bell tower was originally one of the landmark buildings in the old city.However, due to the growing prosperity of the new urban area, its original geographical advantage in the city center has been greatly reduced. In addition, it has been in disrepair for a long time. It is no longer an important place for residents to know the time every day, but has become an old place. The old scenery that can be seen everywhere in the city is for tourists from afar to watch.

Ian's first target was hidden on the top of that clock tower.

Ian remembered that the first group of players who arrived in Louisburg quickly immersed themselves in the unique charm of this ancient castle city. That is, from then on, a "blue sightseeing group" composed of purely casual players became active On Azure's official forum.

This player guild with an average age of around 60 years old is full of empty nesters who have retired at home. They have learned of such an epoch-making virtual online game as Weilan through various means, and have entered this game one after another under the instigation of their juniors or friends. A beautiful new world.These "old players" from the generation of grandparents have lived in steel cities built of reinforced concrete all their lives. How could they have imagined that the science and technology at that time had developed to the point where they could enjoy such beautiful and realistic natural scenery without leaving home.

Ever since, this blue sightseeing group has been out of control ever since. They occupied the "Blue Wind" section of the official forum, and shared the scenery and places of interest they visited in the game, forming a unique way of playing for their age group.For this reason, Weilan officials have not officially certified them, and publicized their cases vigorously, so as to attract more middle-aged and elderly people to join the game. It is said that the effect is not bad!
The secret of the clock tower in the old city of Louisburg was discovered by this group of "internet-addicted elderly" who are keen to explore.At that time, an old man of the Azure Tourist Group had a whim, and wanted to climb high in Lewisburg and take a screenshot overlooking the land.

However, the tallest mage tower in the city is strictly forbidden for anyone to approach. The taller buildings in the new city are either noble mansions or important shops, and almost all of them are patrolled by city guards on time.The old man searched and searched, but only the clock tower in the old city remained undefended.

Ever since, the old man who chose ranger as his initial career climbed all the way to the top floor of the old clock tower with a rock climbing spirit that even young people can hardly persist. There, he found a notebook that had been dusty for many years.He didn't expect at the time that what he discovered was the first time in Azure's history that an item with a sky-high six-figure price was auctioned, a secret skill book that countless physics professionals dream of——

God of War Will (A)!
The secret skill exclusive to this physics class belongs to the passive skill category. After learning, whenever the number of combos in battle reaches ten, twenty, and thirty times, the passive bonus of three stages will be triggered in turn.When the passive effect is triggered, the user's strength, attack power, attack speed and evasion rate will be greatly enhanced. More importantly, as long as the combo is not interrupted, this passive effect will continue to exist!It can be said that this skill has completely changed the original concept of teamwork. Since then, players have begun to realize that in the blue world, the power of the individual can override the group!
Ian remembered that the local tyrant who captured the will of the god of war put on a full set of plate armor and matched it with a high-speed long sword with a high probability of blood-sucking, successfully broke through the encirclement and suppression of the hostile guild with the strength of the top of the iron rank.Later, some players analyzed the video circulated at that time. After the local tyrant, who was wearing plate armor and was inconvenient to move, triggered the third-stage skill effect, the chance of "Miss" when the enemy attacked him was almost 50.00%. His attack speed, his astonishing strength in duels, and his outrageous battery life with his weapons have all completely surpassed the level of normal peak players of the iron rank.

It is precisely because of that video that this secret skill became a god in battle, and has been widely sought after by players for a long time.

Crossing the streets and alleys, Ian, who came to the block where the clock tower was located, had his heart beat faster for a while.In fact, no matter which player in Weilan is just one step away from a secret skill with a value of more than six figures, it is impossible not to have any emotional changes-of course, except for those RMB fighters who spend a lot of money.

Just in case, Ian found a second-floor restaurant nearby with a view facing the clock tower, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat alone on the second floor of the restaurant, calming down his excitement while secretly observing the situation near the clock tower .

The residents of the old city have long been accustomed to this old and dilapidated clock tower. It is like an ordinary background wall in people's life, and it does not attract attention at all.

Such a situation is naturally perfect for Ian.

After his careful observation, on the west side of the clock tower facing away from the morning sun, there is an extremely damaged window. The window is ten meters from the ground, which is higher than the height of the second floor of the restaurant where Ian is. much higher.The masonry around and below the windows remains flat and intact, with few raised or sunken points of support.Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to climb up the outer wall of the clock tower without making too much noise.

Fortunately, Ian has already made preparations.

While the broken window was still in the shadow of being easily overlooked, Ian quickly paid the bill and left the restaurant. After circling the surrounding streets and alleys, he arrived at the bottom of the old clock tower.

"Obviously it's an ownerless thing, but why does it always have a sense of being a thief in my heart!?"

Ian glanced around and found that almost no passing residents would cast any curious eyes on the shadow where he was.Knowing the truth that time does not wait for me, Ian stopped hesitating immediately. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to force himself to relax. Then he took out the activated magic rope he bought earlier from the package behind his back and straightened it out in his hand.

"Ocion!"

With his lips slightly parted, Ian pronounced a short magic word in a low but clear voice.

With the sound of Ian's voice, nearly one-third of the magic value in his vision was consumed at once, and the magic rope in his hand, which was not much different from ordinary hemp rope, trembled a few times as if stimulated , and then snaked upward along the outer wall of the bell tower like a python.

The activated magic rope is a practical tool often used by adventurers in the early days. Those cliffs and high walls that are difficult for ordinary people and even most professionals to climb through can be used to climb over them.As a product of alchemy, the activated magic rope is engraved with a simple array of manipulative runes. In theory, as long as you say the preset activation command and pay a small amount of magic power, you can activate the array of runes in it. Professionals who are non-casting classes can also easily use it.

Controlling the activated magic rope all the way up, Ian easily put it into the broken window with the auxiliary perspective of the upper end of the magic rope in his vision, and firmly wrapped it around a rusty iron inside the bell tower. on the railing.

Grabbing the magic rope and pulling it hard twice, Ian felt that the point of strength above should be able to support his weight.

"It can last for about ten seconds..."

Ian glanced at the mana value in the field of vision that was slowly decreasing at a rate of one per second—generally speaking, the props in the continuous control will continue to consume the user's mana, and at most it is the difference between the amount of consumption.Immediately, he stopped hesitating, firmly grasped the magic rope with both hands, and at the same time stepped on the outer wall of the clock tower, climbing up quickly in a vertical walking posture.

This way of climbing stairs like a special soldier in his previous life is not difficult for Ian. Even though a soldier is not a high-sensitivity occupation, his body balance and muscle control brought by his strength attribute close to the iron level have already far surpassed ordinary people. , allowing him to easily complete this difficult climbing action.
