Chapter 157 Let’s give up as soon as possible (third update, please subscribe)
“How do you feel now?”
Zuo Si walked straight to the soldier, bent down and stared at the follower The summoned creature is second only to the leopard in terms of its own time.
The soldier struggled to open one eye and said in an extremely weak voice: "Master. I...I feel very hot! Very, very hot! It's as if there is a ball of flame in my body. Burning. "
"It seems that when you breathed out, you inserted the blood-sucking sword into the red dragon's upper jaw and absorbed his blood, which contained a large amount of fire element energy. If nothing else, you might have died. Became a dragonborn creature.”
Zuo Si felt the soldier's physical condition for a while and immediately gave his diagnosis.
Because the boiling dragon blood and fire element energy in his body cannot be faked at all.
In fact, simply using a vampire sword to attack a red dragon will generally not produce such a result.
At best, it would be good to temporarily increase the resistance to fire a little bit.
But for the final blow, the soldier rushed forward with the breath of flames and inserted the blood-sucking sword into the upper jaw of Bertorgas.
Under the influence of the dragon's breath, the energy contained in the blood vessels around the upper jaw was many times greater than that in other places. In the end, it was a coincidence that led to this result.
Of course, the price is that the valuable blood-sucking sword was destroyed in the dragon flames, and now it has turned into a lump of cooled metal containing a little magic aura, attached to the sword body and hilt. All the magic on it is useless.
"Dragonborn? It sounds pretty good."
The soldier grinned.
But just a second later, he slowly closed his eyes and took his last breath.
Immediately afterwards, the bodies and equipment quickly turned into nothingness.
There will be no way to summon him for at least three days.
Since the card has entered the graveyard, Zuo Si cannot see the soldier's attribute changes for the time being, so he had to activate [Healing Hand] first and heal Rhett on the side.
When the dazzling positive energy entered the body and began to repair the damaged internal organs and broken bones, the half-orc immediately opened his eyes suddenly and subconsciously wanted to grab the weapons around him to fight.
However, when he saw Zuo Si's face clearly, he immediately relaxed his tense nerves and asked urgently: "Where is the dragon? Is he dead?"
Zuo Si smiled and replied: "Relax, Bertorgas has been skinned by me and is now in the dimensional bag. When I have time, I will use his skin to make you a red dragon armor as a reward."
"Red Dragon Armor?!"
Hearing this name, Rhett became excited instantly.
As a barbarian warrior, he knows better than anyone what it means to have armor made of red dragon leather, the most powerful of the chromatic dragons.
Not to mention the fire magic resistance brought by the dragon scale itself, its hardness is comparable to that of adamantine body armor, which is enough to render most non-magical weapons ineffective.
No warrior can resist such temptation!
"That's right. Red Dragon Armor. And I will make a new magic two-handed ax for you." Zuo Si promised without hesitation.
Through this dragon-slaying operation, Rhett has proved his bravery with practical actions, and at the same time won his trust.
After all, when most warriors see a mature dragon, it can be regarded as a pretty good performance if they don't turn around and run away in fear.
Not to mention rushing up against "Dragon Power" and tearing the dragon's wings apart with a magically enchanted axe.
From this moment on, this half-orc was officially accepted by Zuo Si and became a member of the future core team for training.
Ritter seemed to realize something, and immediately grinned and said: "Hey! Thank you, Master. From now on, my life will be handed over to you."
"You're welcome. I promise, you will soon have an enviable set of magic equipment."
After saying this, Zuo Si directly threw the almost full dimension bag to the orc and signaled He first returned to the city alone.
He took another empty dimensional bag, walked straight to Wilmes, and asked meaningfully: "You should know where Bertorgas' lair is, right?"
< br>
"Of course. What, are you going to loot his treasure?" Wilmes asked with eyes shining.
If there were not two injured people who needed care, she would have wanted to take practical action.
"You still need to ask? I hope the treasure in Bertorgas's lair won't disappoint me too much." Zuo Si said as he climbed onto the dragon's back and blessed himself with a link [Tolerate the Environment] 】.
“I will share half this time!”
Wilmes made the request with a greedy look on his face.
Zuo Si rolled his eyes angrily: "You are the only one who still has the face to share half of it?
Use your underdeveloped brain and think about it, everything I have done is Who are you wiping your butt for?
And when you were in the floating city tower, if you hadn't wasted a crucial minute with greed, would you have caused such a big mess?
I didn’t settle the score with you, confiscating the treasures in your lair is already an extrajudicial favor.”
"Damn it! I didn't instigate these troubles! It's all the fault of that thing you put into my head! It's all its fault!" Wilmes tried to shirk his responsibilities by shirking responsibility.
It's a pity that Zuo Si didn't take this approach at all, and simply refused: "Give up your heart as soon as possible.
You don't have a share in Bertorgas' treasure.< br>
If you make a mistake next time because of greed or other reasons, I will deduct it from your treasure according to the degree of the mistake.
But if you perform well enough, I will consider it from the loot. Set aside a portion for your personal gain.”
"Despicable! Shameless! How could you spy on the treasure that belongs to me?"
Realizing that the treasure he had collected over the years might change hands, Wilmes couldn't help but curse.
At this moment, the strange object suddenly asked through the spiritual connection: "Master, do you need me to shut her up?"
In an instant!
Only then did Wilmes recall that his life was still in the opponent's hands, and he immediately shut up and performed his "mount" duties honestly.
Seeing the "cowardly" look of this female red dragon, Zuo Si raised the corner of his mouth slightly with a joking expression, and responded casually: "Forget it. She is just talking about it anyway. I am still a person most of the time. Very tolerant. Oh, by the way, have you ever given yourself a name?”
“A name?”
Qiwu was stunned and quickly replied: “A name is just a code name. , a tool to distinguish each other. I am a tool, so I don’t need a name.”
“You think you are a tool?” Zuo Si suddenly became interested.
Because from the time he woke up to now, he has not had any in-depth communication with this strange object that is closely related to him.
I don’t even understand the other person’s thinking mode, as well as their understanding and values of the entire world.
"Yes! I am a tool created by you to control those more powerful creatures. My duty is to obey your orders and remove all obstacles and enemies on your way forward."
The strange object did not hesitate to express its knowledge of itself.
"Then what do you think about your ability to think about this matter? Don't you have self-awareness? Don't you want anything, or do you have any ideas about the future?"
Zuo Si continued to try to explore.
After all, since the strange object can strengthen itself by eating the brains of intelligent beings, he has already determined that this object has amazing growth potential.
Especially the psychic powers inherited from the Mind Flayer, when used properly they are absolutely a killer weapon.
Unfortunately, Zuo Si has no knowledge reserves about psychic powers.
Because apart from the mind flayers and Githyanki, only the gray dwarves living in the Underdark know a little bit about this thing.
Of course, if you are not afraid of death or becoming an idiot, you can also try to find a way to fuse your soul and consciousness with the mastermind lich, and become the only person in the entire Faerûn continent who can "dual cultivation of spiritual energy and arcane magic" "The great arcanist of Netheril - Iolum.
Only he knows how to advance to the special profession that combines arcane magic and spiritual energy - [Spiritual Arcanist].
In the real world, it is often very difficult to obtain hidden knowledge that is unknown to others.
This is completely different from how you can easily get the list of professions, specialties, and spells you want by just clicking the mouse when playing a game, or by opening a few expansions.
