Artificer Adventure Guide

"Should we go down and have a look?"

On top of the giant mushroom, Carl looked at the goblins who suddenly retreated and put down his rifle.

The two had just prepared to fight the goblins below. Carl even gave up the alchemy pot injection method and applied the burst weapon injection method to the rifle that had been made.

Once the goblins found them, he would turn into a sniper and leave all the opponents here.

But fortunately, they finally retreated.

"Forget it. Doesn't your main weapon still need to be debugged? Let's go down after you get everything done."

Even if you watch the fun, you have to consider your own safety. Hope felt the danger from the bear goblins just now, so he didn't intend to let himself and Carl take risks.

"Okay then."

Shrugged, Carl put away the rifle and prepared to try to draw magic patterns on the rifle in the ordinary way again.

Time passed quickly. After a long time, noisy sounds were heard again in the distance.

"Those goblins are back again?"

Continuing to stare at the rifle, Carl did not look up, but just stopped his work for a while and confirmed with Hope.

"Yes, and it looks like a large army is approaching. Aren't they going to cause trouble for the Mind Flayer? Why are they running here?"

Hope seemed very confused as to why the goblins ran to her side.

After all, in her opinion, these goblins were so close to the woods, and it would be fine if they didn't know that there was a Mind Flayer base deep in the woods. Now that they knew, why didn't they go directly to the other party, but instead ran here to hang around?

"Could it be that they discovered us and came here to kill us to avenge their own people?"

As he was talking, Carl suddenly put down the tools in his hand.

The parts that made up the rifle began to emit a faint blue light at this time, and the magic patterns were connected into one piece, and they dimmed and lit regularly, just like breathing.

Seeing this, Hope's face was happy.

"Did you succeed?"

"Huh~, it's considered a success, but the conversion efficiency of magic power is not ideal, and the firing rate is much lower than that of an actual automatic rifle."

Although he said this, Carl still raised his head unconsciously.

"Hurry up and install it on your power armor to see the effect!"

As the goblins got closer and closer, Hope had to pin his hopes on Carl's weapon.

The invention of the semi-automatic rifle once changed the war situation in Khorvaire. If it weren't for the popularization of the standard equipment of the constant mage armor, it is said that the final war almost ended early.

The goblins in this dungeon obviously don't have the technology and productivity to popularize the equipment of the constant mage armor, so when facing a rifle with unlimited bullets, their level advantage is not obvious.

"Okay!"

Nodding, Carl hung the rifle on the buckle reserved in advance by the power armor.

After putting on the power armor with one action, Carl walked out of the door, raised the arm with the rifle hanging, and pointed it at the goblin troops in the distance.

At this time, the goblin team was less than 50 meters away from the two, and Carl could clearly see the clothes of the goblins below.

Scanning the goblin team, Carl tried to find a lucky person with a higher status and leave the first bullet of this new era weapon to him.

Soon, Carl found a big goblin with more "exquisite" clothes in the goblin team.

Taking a deep breath, Carl kept his forward lunge and prepared to fire the bullet.

But just as he was about to pull the trigger, Hope on the side suddenly blocked his sight.

"Those goblins didn't seem to see us."

With an unbelievable tone, Hope tilted his head and looked at Carl, as if he wanted the other party to tell him that this was not an illusion.

And just as Hope said, the vanguard of the goblins seemed to have not seen the two at all, and actually passed by the giant mushroom where Carl and his team were.

The mighty army just cut down the woody mushrooms that blocked their progress, and then continued to move forward.

Looking at the scattered goblin team, Carl was a little confused for a while.

"Are you kidding? We should be pretty conspicuous, right? Didn't they see this?"

"Are they... not all nearsighted?"

Although this idea is a bit absurd, based on the performance of the goblins, Carl feels that this is the most likely possibility.

Hope on the side pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.

Inside the goblin team, the barbarian goblin who had previously identified the wild magic path of the brain-eating monster parasite took a few more glances at the mushroom where Carl and his team were before the team left.

Carl and Hope, who had been paying attention to the movements of the goblin team throughout the whole process, did notice this goblin.

But seeing that the other party still didn't notice them, Carl and Hope felt a bit frustrated as if they had punched cotton.

So they were worried for nothing just now?

What Carl and Hope didn't know was that this goblin team came from the Rage Tribe.

They lived on an island surrounded by a magma lake, not the goblin tribe near the woods.

The magma brought them many conveniences, but it also made their eyes become nearsighted due to long-term exposure to irritating gases.

So, although goblins also have the racial trait of dark vision, their vision cannot even see objects 10 meters away.

This is also why the Mind Flayer was only injured in the arm at the beginning - the barbarians of the Rage Tribe aim at their prey based on their feelings.

"It seems that the guy should have sensed the fluctuations of magic power on our side. Could he be a mage or a druid?"

Watching the goblins gradually go away, Carl took off his power armor and touched his chin to guess.

"I don't know, but it should have nothing to do with us for the time being. By the way, I always feel that something seems to be wrong with my body. Can you help me check it out?"

Seeing that the crisis was resolved and Carl's equipment was successfully made, Hope suddenly asked Carl shyly.

"Uncomfortable? Is it because the menstrual period has not completely passed, or..."

Just as he was about to go forward to check, Hope raised his hand.

Carl subconsciously rolled over and rushed behind Hope's feet.

'Tsk, because there have been too many battles in the dream world, has it formed a subconscious reaction? '

The next second after rolling out, Carl realized that he overreacted.

Hope's gesture was very similar to the opening move of the Burning Hand. Carl had been killed by this move many times in the dream world, so he reacted subconsciously.

Looking at the stunned Hope, Carl stood up again and straightened his hair.

"Ahem, sorry, I overreacted. What did you want me to see?"

After an awkward dry cough, Carl made up his mind that he must change the image of the illusion in the dream world special training tonight.

Otherwise, if he really gets used to it in the future, something might go wrong.

Accepting Carl's statement, Hope nodded, then closed his eyes and guided some kind of power to gather in his hands.
