Can you become stronger without paying money?

(Rael Orlander? Why...)

According to Sapphire's imagination, Riel should have left the Danquan Forest long ago. He is an ordinary person who doesn't look like an adventurer, wandering around in the Danquan Forest is no different from committing suicide.

But in the next second, she saw an incredible picture.

A swift figure ran wildly for a few steps and jumped up, jumping to an astonishing height in an instant. In the hands of that figure, it held a golden-red giant sword that looked like a fierce bird with wings spread. The giant sword swung in the air. It formed a beautiful arc, and the speed was unbelievably fast. Safieli didn't even understand what happened, and the tentacles that bound her hands and feet were cut off one after another.

(Hehe, sure enough, even guards made by ancient elves are powerless against legendary weapons~)

Safieli, who broke free from the shackles of the tentacles, was caught by Riel with one hand. Because of Safieli's current embarrassing situation, Riel deliberately did not meet her eyes.

Riel retreated to the shore, put Sapphire next to the equipment she had taken off, and said while still looking away.

"You put on the equipment first, I'll kill that big guy and come back~"

"...Wait, wait a minute, that's the Danquan water monster." Sapphire naturally knew the details of the Danquan water monster. She was worried that Riel would suffer if she didn't know the details, so she hurriedly wanted to remind, "It's a guard made by ancient elves."

"Well, I know..." Who knew that Riel responded calmly, "It's because I knew that I dared to rush out, it doesn't matter, not to mention that the ancient elves are no longer there, the guarding power they created has been greatly reduced , even the guards at the peak of their strength can't stop my sword~"

After all, Riel swung the big sword in his hand casually...

Equipment Name: Phoenix Skyfire

Equipment category: weapon (limited time) (bound)

Item Level: Five Stars (Legendary)

Weapon description: The ultimate work created by the legendary sword forging master Arpad Michael when he was 70 years old. The blazing sword body is full of the power of the ancient flame elves, and the strange-shaped characters like FFF are engraved on the sword body. No one knows the meaning of this mysterious text.

Self-contained skills:

[Protection of Burning Blood] Stimulate the potential in the blood, and increase the four-dimensional attributes (strength, defense, body, sensitivity) of the holder by 100 points.

[Glory of Skyfire] The blessing of the flame spirit is with you. When equipped, all attacks have a "fire" attribute, and the fire attribute damage is increased by 20%.

[Amber's Nirvana] When the wearer's race is not "ancient" (ancient elf), lose 1% of the maximum physical strength every five seconds, and when the wearer's race is "ancient", restore 1% of the maximum physical strength every ten seconds [-]%.

Remarks: The sparks dancing in the flames will bring down the punishment of destruction on the unclean heterosexuals!

Riel is very satisfied with this legendary weapon... Although this thing can only be used for three days, and it also comes with a DBUFF of a percentage of blood loss, the attribute bonus of the weapon itself is definitely worth the price of using it, you know In Riel's design, the individual attribute of the character's full level plus the limit value of special BUFF and equipment weighting is only 255 points...

And this piece of equipment directly supports one hundred points in each of the four-dimensional attributes, and the effect is terrible, needless to say.

And Sapphire watched in a daze as Riel played a sword game like a handsome...

... To be honest, in the eyes of Safiri, who is a swordsman, Riel's swordsmanship is horrible, and one can tell that it is a layman who just pulled a handsome pose to pretend.

However, there was one detail that made her startled. The incomparably gorgeous sword seemed to weigh a lot, but Riel could actually lift it with one hand. Shaking slightly, Safiri, who had also used a giant sword before, knew exactly what level of strength was needed.

Is this guy... really human?

High-level monsters can get rid of the hunting instinct for humans, and higher-level monsters can even use magic to reshape their bodies to gain the power to transform into other creatures. Among them, there are naturally high-level monsters who like to become humans by playing cards that do not follow common sense.

Riel certainly doesn't know what's going on in Sapphire's head, and of course he doesn't need to know at all, he is even willing to use the equipment exchange coupon as his current hole card, and the purpose of saving Sapphire here is not just It's so simple to follow the plot to collect a harem!

... Well, in fact, this is indeed the main reason.

Of course, there is another reason that prompted Riel to make this "wasteful" move. The shopping guide girl in the mall seemed to be able to communicate with Riel in a simple way, and her attitude was so good that she treated Riel as a master the whole time. The shopping guide girl got some information, for example, the use of the recharge system.

This system currently only accepts two kinds of things, general equivalents and hard currency...

...The general equivalent is naturally commonly known as banknotes. However, this game is made in China, so it only recognizes soft sister coins. There are only two soft sister coins on Riel, and they have been used up just now.

Obviously, this thing cannot be copied now, so if you want to continue using this system, you can only work hard on another thing.

Hard currency, that is, items that preserve the value of currency. The reason why the value of general equivalents can be used as currency circulation is because it can be converted into hard currency in proportion. Once this basis is lost, the so-called money is just a piece of waste paper. Under the gold standard, the hard currency is gold.

Well, after talking so much nonsense, it is nothing more than to express that gold can be used to recharge in this system!

So the boss in front of me, who didn't need to fight or couldn't win in the normal process, had to die, because Riel knew that what it guarded wasn't just an elf relic, but... all elf relics would have... The secret treasure of the ancient elves!

The guard who had lost his tentacles finally realized that something was wrong, especially when Riel approached step by step, the giant sword in Riel's hand made him feel a huge threat.

The legendary weapon used by Riel is a creation that contains the power of the ancient flame elf, and the water monster in front of him is obviously a monster of water attribute.

Ninety percent of the world's RPG game attribute settings are water to overcome fire, and Riel certainly didn't find another way.

But as the saying goes, extremes must reverse, water can certainly extinguish fire, but when the fire is strong enough, water can also be restrained in reverse!

The water monster didn't want to sit still, and it didn't have the complex emotion of fear. It just felt the threat from Riel's weapon, but it definitely wouldn't back down because of it.

Thus, amid the uproar and splashes of water, the monster showed its complete body, it was actually a huge anemone-shaped monster made up of most of the spring water of Danquan, and the tentacles that entangled Sapphire at first were the tentacles of the sea anemone, but Compared with the monster's body, those tentacles are not worth mentioning at all. The fully active Danquan water monster is at least waving tentacles in three digits.

Safiley's face turned pale, but Riel smiled calmly, took a deep breath, and then rushed straight over!

Chapter 6 Where Dreams Begin

What Riel did was actually very simple, rush over, take off, and swing the sword!

It's not that Riel doesn't want to fight in a more complicated, technical or entertaining way, it's just helpless, the skill bar is empty. Under normal circumstances, RPG characters should have an initial skill at the first level, but the sad problem is now In Riel's character attribute menu, the text that appears in the column of personal combat occupation is "Beginner"...

...Beginners are actually not considered a combat class, it is just a general term for adventurers before changing jobs to combat classes, so of course...Beginners do not have initial skills!

Well, even if there is no initial skill, with Riel's current attribute of breaking a hundred in four dimensions, even wielding a kitchen knife casually can be quite threatening, not to mention that he still has a legendary weapon in his hand now. The destructive power has been raised to a higher level.

Unfortunately, after all, Riel has never learned any swordsmanship, so the destructive power of this random swing is actually very limited.

The good news is that Riel bravely cut off more than a dozen tentacles of the Tanquan water monster. The bad news is that this result is actually useless.

Riel hit with one blow, and avoided the entanglement of the attacking tentacles with over a hundred agility. He turned over and jumped to his body. Since most of the spring water of Danquan had been taken by the monster to condense into a body, the current Danquan In fact, there are only dozens of pools of different sizes left in the lake, and the higher part of the bottom of the lake is exposed to the water, which gives Riel a place to stay.

Just as Riel stood still, a system prompt popped up.

Player "Ril Orlander", the skill tree "Swordsmanship Specialization" has been upgraded, skill level E (acquisition), player "Rel Orlander" has unlocked new skills.

Riel was taken aback by just waving casually, but it actually improved the skill specialization, but it didn't really matter after thinking about it. After all, first of all, this swordsmanship specialization is a skill that progresses step by step according to the level. Obviously, this kind of The first few levels of the skill are very easy to learn.

Secondly, the improvement of the skill level is nothing more than proficiency. Riel is now using legendary equipment, fighting high-level dungeon bosses, and the characters happen to be at the lowest level. The combination of these factors makes the proficiency increase very fast, so Unlocking the specialization level with a few swings of the sword is not too difficult to understand.

For the time being, it will not be so easy to improve the skill level in the future.

But no matter what, at least after unlocking the skill, he also learned a new skill. Riel immediately called out the skill menu in his mind and glanced at it without thinking about it.

Skill Name: Street Fighting Technique: Crazy Sword Technique

Skill level: one star (rough)

Skill description: The secrets of street fighting, from an [-]-year-old man to a street-swearing shrew, everyone can learn it without a teacher. To perform this magical skill, you only need to hold the handle of the knife with your hand, and the rest is just to follow the feeling !

Skill effect: ? ? ?

Remarks: At this time, if there is no trick to win, there is a trick. Dugu Nine Swords is nothing? ——By: Sanliting Meat Factory Sewer Juggernaut-Wang Fugui

The corners of Riel's mouth twitched after seeing the skill description, and he almost couldn't help but flipped the table, what kind of trouble is this skill description!The most critical skill effect is that Mao can't see it at all!Also, what crazy sword technique!Isn't it just hacking with a knife? I'm also drunk that this kind of thing is considered a skill!

Of course, it’s all about complaining, Riel is also very clear that his current level of swordsmanship is nothing more than hacking with a knife.Have you ever heard of the one force drop ten meeting!

At that moment, Riel adjusted his breathing, held the hilt of the sword with both hands and concentrated his energy, raised the giant sword and swung it out, and at the same time rushed out with a "ow", the skill was activated, and I flowed the fighting technique of the street: the crazy sword technique !

In an instant, Riel's whole body was shrouded in a faint light, and the wrist holding the hilt of the sword vibrated repeatedly, and in an instant, there were dozens of random slashes without any rules!

Even Danquan Water Monster didn't expect that the enemy would suddenly display this kind of mad dog-like skill. Before the attacking tentacles got close, they were torn apart by the strong wind caused by the dancing sword. Wrong, in the background of an RPG game, the attack skills themselves are not important at all, as long as the attributes and equipment are suppressed, even ordinary attacks can kill the final boss.

This is the so-called "returning to basics and returning to the truth, working hard to create miracles!"

And Sapphire on the shore was really stunned. This is the first time she has seen at such a young age that someone can use a big sword that looks not low-grade with a butcher's knife. Fengyun, what's even more ridiculous is that the use of this butcher's knife actually seriously injured the Danquan water monster!

Am I crazy or is the world crazy? !

Sapphire felt that her three views, which had been formed for more than 20 years, were facing a serious challenge at the moment, and Riel, who made a remarkable achievement in one blow, was overjoyed. He didn't expect his skills to be so powerful...

In fact, everyone knows the fact that it is not Riel's powerful skills, but his current attributes and equipment are powerful, and these basic hard attributes are left there, no matter what kind of skills can be turned into magic.

It's like in some novels and animations, some people use the same skill to shake the world, while others use it like a fart. This is the gap caused by the different foundations.

As long as the magic power is high enough, the small fireball is also a magical skill that can be used in the air every second of every day!

Well, of course, Riel figured out these reasons immediately, so he also understood Weilai, the Danquan water monster has met its nemesis today, of course Riel will not be polite to it, after all, no one knows better than Riel The details of the Danquan water monster, for this kind of creature that is not even considered a creature, but just a smart guard made by ancient alchemy, Riel doesn't need to be polite.

Before the Danquan water monster came back to his senses, Riel had already rushed over, and the legendary giant sword in his hand once again slashed in a terrifying and frightening way. Because it is a one-star skill, there is no consumption at all to use it.

Strength determines the power of this skill, agility determines the attack speed of this skill, and physique determines the number of random slashes that can be performed after the skill is activated.

As a result, the bonuses of the three attributes breaking a hundred turned this ordinary street fighting skill into an extremely fast and powerful combo attack, coupled with the eclectic attack without any routine mode, making this seemingly ridiculous skill extremely terrifying.

And more importantly, other people don't know the weakness of these ancient alchemy creations, Riel knows it well, so his second attack directly aimed at a point in the body of the giant sea anemone, and the flying tentacles Before he got close, he was torn apart by the strong force, and Riel went on a rampage all the way, crashing into the body of the water monster!

The body originally made of spring water from Danquan was solidified with the help of magic and alchemy, but in fact, the touch is jelly-like jelly, and Danquan water itself is a high-quality spring water that can be drunk. It's okay to be sprayed with body fluids after you bumped into it... Anyway, it's all spring water, so it doesn't make people sick. The sharp blade pointed directly at a shining rune in the center of the water monster's body.

"Sorry, give me a little sleep!"

As soon as the voice fell, the rune had been shattered under Riel's sword...

Tanquan water monster... The body is completely silent and confirmed...

After killing the BOSS, Riel felt a golden light rushing from head to toe, and instantly the whole person could not stop upgrading as if he had been dazzled!

... Well, this is just an imagination in Riel's mind. In fact, nothing happened at all. Riel cut out the attribute bar and took a look. The level didn't change at all, and the experience bar didn't even increase.

It seems... This plan to use the given legendary weapon to kill monsters to level up and become stronger has basically come to naught.

However, this is also expected...

Riel, who killed the Danquan water monster, turned over and jumped back to the shore before the water monster's body re-dissolved into the spring water. With a shake of his hand, he took the giant sword back into the character's luggage.

Noticing the complicated eyes of Sapphire next to her, Riel turned around and stretched out her hand with a smile.

"Then, let's seriously introduce myself again. I'm Riel Orlande, a wandering adventurer. Please take care of me, Miss Olom~"

Sapphire froze for two seconds, and finally came back to her senses.

"Just call me Sapphire. No matter what the purpose is, thank you for saving your life."

In any case, Riel's actions just now did save Safiley who was almost killed by the Danquan water monster, so Safieli's attitude this time is obviously much better than the last meeting.

The moment Riel shook hands with the other party politely, Riel couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

The scene in front of him really looked amazing, just like the scene that appeared in his dreams countless times in his memory...

20 years ago... a teenager had a dream.

It was a magical world about brave men and dragons, princesses and devil kings, swords and magic...

Five years later, the boy turned his dream into a game, and he reproduced the scenes in the dream as much as possible in the game. However, due to technical limitations, the game is still quite different from his dream.

At that time, the boy made up his mind that one day, he must make a game that can perfectly reproduce his dream.

Time passed, and 15 years passed in a blink of an eye. The young man finally approached his dream career step by step. However, he found that although he had been trying to move forward, he was farther and farther away from his dream.

Reality and dreams are like two completely opposite roads in front of young people. If you step on one of them and go farther on this road, you are destined to be farther away from the end of the other end.

I don't know what I did wrong, but I know, I've lost my dream forever...

However, at this time, fate took a strange fork in the road here.

... Is this a joke of God, or a prank of the devil?

These are not important anymore, because he is standing here now, standing in this place that has appeared in dreams countless times.

It was the starting point of an old-fashioned story, and it was an ordinary afternoon.

The boy who is a wandering adventurer and the girl who is an elf envoy meet here, and then...

...and that's where the story begins!

Chapter 7 Treasure?Treasure!

"Then..." Riel raised his hand and pointed at Danquan, which had recovered to its original state, "I have killed the Danquan water monster, but its alchemy guard itself is not even life, and of course there is no 'death' The concept, as long as the alchemy array hidden in the Danquan is not destroyed, it can continue to absorb the magic power in the atmosphere to reshape the body. After the Danquan water monster is destroyed once, it takes at least 24 hours to revive, but you absorb the magic in the Danquan. The power of the elves, the alchemy array has also lost most of its power, it is estimated that this big guy will not be able to revive within ten days and a half months~"

"Wait a minute..." Sapphire quickly interrupted Riel, "Why do you know that I am absorbing the power of elves in Danquan?"

Of course it's because I designed all your characters and related plots. I know your details better than your own father, you honest child.

Of course, it is enough to pass these words in your mind, and Riel is naturally not crazy enough to say it out loud.

"Isn't this clear after a little thought? When I first came, all your equipment was neatly folded and placed on the shore. I don't think monsters would take off a person's clothes and fold them before killing someone. It’s so neat, it’s obviously done by yourself, you took off your equipment and jumped into the Danquan, and you deliberately took your saber into the water in case you encountered a battle, you did it so carefully... It’s nothing more than for the sake of the Danquan. Something?"

Speaking of this, Riel walked straight towards a huge rock standing on the edge of Danquan Lake, "I only know two things in Danquan, one is the elf secret treasure in Danquan, obviously you are not rushing If you came here for this, then naturally you can only come here for another thing, the power of elves~"

After careful consideration of the above reasoning, you can find that many details cannot withstand scrutiny, but in fact it doesn’t need to be so detailed, because Riel knows how much he knows about the world, as long as the conclusions he draws are correct, the reasoning he puts forward is relatively accurate. It is enough to be reasonable and reasonable. No matter how the other party asks about the details, he is confident that he can find out the flawless statement.

Just like this time, Riel deliberately set a simple trap in his words, and he is very clear about Sapphire's character setting, as long as he says this, she will definitely fall for it without hesitation.

"...Wait a minute, how can you be sure that I didn't come for that 'elf secret'?"
