Chapter 269 [Animal Talk]
The five members of the dark blue team managed to hold back their laughter.
Although Pet Twain didn't admit it openly, they could all guess what happened.
The weapons carried by the Deep Blue Team all emit a faint white light, representing their +3 successful strengthening results.
Seeing that Petwain not only changed his weapons, but also had no light effects, it was not difficult for them to imagine what happened.
[Equipment Enhancement] This magical technique started when Malen discovered it, and Pei Twain was not the only one in charge.
At the beginning, Malen, who learned this magical technique, immediately became a hot celebrity in the territory, and everyone ran to find the weapons he gave them to strengthen.
But Mullen soon "exploded".
Because this magical spell requires believers to cast it at the expense of the legendary experience gained from destroying monsters.
Legendary experience cannot be transferred.
There are too many people coming to Mullen.
The legendary experience gained by Maren looking for someone to help him destroy monsters was quickly used up, and not even a drop of it was left.
Fortunately, as more believers redeemed the knowledge of this magical technique from Noven by consuming destiny points, the number of people who could use the [Equipment Enhancement] magical technique quickly increased.
This magical technique is not complicated to learn.
It is also very simple to use.
Prepare the materials, recite the prayer silently according to the corresponding content, and then have a ritual action of "swinging the forging hammer and slamming the weapon placed on the anvil".
It doesn't matter if you don't know anything about blacksmithing.
The angle, timing, and strength of the smash have no effect on the result. This is just a necessary action required by the magic.
The only hard requirement is to have a forging hammer and anvil that meet the requirements.
At that time, there were many believers who were like Pat Twain.
I bought the materials to strengthen my needs from those believers who were purchasing on behalf of me. I relied on my experience and my level had not gone up, so I borrowed the tools from the blacksmith shop and strengthened my equipment there.
After breaking one weapon after another, many people became honest.
If you don't have enough financial resources, just strengthen the weapon to +3 and increase its power.
Further up, it's best not to try it lightly.
Although it is true that you can do this as long as you work hard enough, it depends on whether the result of the hard work is worth it!
Spending dozens or even hundreds of gold coins just to get a weapon +9 is definitely not worth it for most ordinary believers.
If you have this kind of money, you might as well find a way to ask someone to purchase a rare weapon that has been enchanted by gray dwarves on your behalf. The effect might be even better.
It’s not that weapons can’t be strengthened, but it’s more cost-effective to buy finished products directly.
…
After checking various supplies and emergency supplies needed to fight the monsters, the captain of the Deep Blue Team did not take Pet Twain directly out of the Xiwei Territory, but instead went to a carriage shop at the foot of the city wall on the south side of the territory!
Pet Twain was shocked.
"No, we want to take a carriage?"
This is the first time in his life that he heard that you can go hunting monsters in a carriage!
In the past, when my brother and sister were bragging at home, the environment in the dark forest almost did not allow for movement other than walking.
On the one hand, there is the dangerous evil spirit intrusion. Ordinary carriage horses will become restless after passing through [Past Glory]. Over time, they may even be directly polluted and degenerated into monsters.
On the other hand, given the terrible environment in the forest, one had to work hard to clear the way on foot. How could the carriage run?
The middle-aged captain of the Deep Blue Team shrugged and said helplessly:
"There's nothing we can do."
"In this situation, other teams have provided it, but if we don't provide it, it will be difficult to recruit clients like you." Pet Twain was puzzled: "Everyone is providing it? What do you mean?"
The middle-aged captain explained: "The road outside the territory is almost completed, and there are already conditions for carriages to pass."
"If we go deep into the forest by car, we can get ahead of other teams and eliminate the monsters released today."
"And it saves the energy consumed by walking on the road, and you will be in better condition when fighting."
"Horses are afraid. Now, in a killing team like ours, rangers have almost become a standard equipment."
The captain said, pointing to the stables not far away.
"They can use the God of the Wilderness's [Animal Talk] and [Animal Soothing] two magical spells, as long as they negotiate the terms with the horses."
Pettwain looked in the direction pointed by the middle-aged man.
One of the members of the Deep Blue Team, a young man who used a short knife as a weapon, had a bunch of carrots in his backpack and was "communicating" something with the horses in the stable.
First, he took out three carrots.
Several strong male horses with white patches on their coats that came closer snorted disdainfully, shook their heads and tried to leave.
The young man hurriedly added two more carrots and said a few words.
This time two horses stopped, but still shook their heads in place, indicating that they did not accept his conditions.
The young man had no choice but to take out a raw egg from the side of his backpack!
The two stallions then made a satisfied "chirp" sound, indicating that the terms were agreed upon, and then "neighed" again.
The young man had no choice but to break the eggs, pour the egg liquid into the palm of his hand, and let the two male horses that would be responsible for pulling the cart eat them clean.
After enjoying what they wanted to eat, the two horses meekly allowed the young man to put their harnesses on them, and then actively followed him out.
"These guys are getting better and better, and even five carrots can't satisfy their appetite!" The young man couldn't help complaining to the captain of the Deep Blue Team.
"I asked them."
"Three carrots is the starting price. We only wander around Xiweiling. Five carrots can take us to the stables in Chinal's collar at most."
"If you want to go deeper into the Dark Forest, they won't run away if you don't add eggs."
"Hmph!"
The two stallions following behind suddenly snorted angrily.
The young man hurriedly covered his mouth: "Bah, bah, bah! I forgot, I also have [Animal Talk], they can understand what I say!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. When you finish your trip today, I'll give you another apple when I come back!"
The stallion then shook its head with satisfaction.
Pet Twain was amazed from beginning to end.
Seaview Territory is indeed a magical place.
As long as they are members of the Church of Seeking Knowledge, that is, the official citizens of the territory, not to mention the low-level spellcasters per capita, even the coachmen who drive the carriages are professional rangers who master divine magic!
In Pei Twain's opinion about professionals, only those with noble bloodline should have the opportunity to be favored by the gods.
The situations he had seen in the Kingdom of Reyak in the past were basically consistent with this understanding.
Descendants of nobles often inherit the bloodline of their fathers and ancestors, and are easily blessed by the gods to become professionals on the same path.
Among civilians, only a handful of people have the chance to change their destiny.
Most of the descendants of commoners remain commoners.
But the theory of bloodline laws seems to have failed in the Church of Seeking Knowledge.
"Is it possible that the believers of the God of Knowledge actually have noble aristocratic blood?"
