Chapter 160 Treasure (Five more updates, please subscribe for the first update)
As a mature red dragon, he occupies an important trade route to the prosperous city of Zhaze Sibo.
The treasures of Bertorgas are undoubtedly much richer than those of Vermes.
What's more, he also has unclear connections with members of the Dragon Worship Cult.
So the quantity and quality of magic items are also quite amazing.
There are an astonishing dozen of +1 and +2 magic weapons alone.
There is even a +3 frost mithril two-handed battle ax that is suspected to be made by the Northland dwarves. Not only does it only require half the effort of an iron weapon of the same size to swing, it can also cause additional cold damage when hitting. .
Similarly, there are also quite a few types of magic armor.
One of them was obviously a chainmail armor made by an elf blacksmith. Its defensive capabilities and exquisiteness even shocked Zuo Si, who came from a modern society on earth.
Because this armor weighs almost nothing when worn on the body, it is like wearing a light shirt, and it does not even affect the mage's various complex spell-casting movements.
But its amazing defense is enough to withstand the puncture of any non-magical weapon.
Even if the mail structure is damaged by a strong external force, it will automatically return to its original state within a very short period of time.
The most important thing is that the elf craftsman who made it was so crazy that he carved magic symbols on each lock and then pieced them together to create an effect that blends in with the environment.
Under the illumination of light, these patterns will constantly change with the surrounding scenery like a chameleon.
If the wearer wishes, it can also be transformed into various styles of exquisite dresses and skirts.
It is simply the dream armor of thieves, assassins, and bards.
"What an incredible piece of work! I bet it took a master craftsman and an arcane spellcaster at least four months to a year to create."< br>
Zuo Si gave an evaluation as a magic item maker.
As a typical pragmatist, he couldn't understand why the other party spent so much time and energy just to make this chain armor look more beautiful and exquisite.
If it is just to provide a better disguise, you can add transformation magic, or directly enchant an [Invisibility].
There is no need to carve each lock and each lock carefully.
Perhaps in the eyes of elves with lifespans of hundreds of years, time is really a very cheap and insignificant thing.
Because they have enough time to squander, enjoy, and pursue the beautiful things they are interested in and love.
“This Elf Chain Armor can be sold for at least tens of thousands of gold coins in the human world. Especially those nobles and wealthy businessmen who like to show off will fight for it.”
< br>Vilmes's eyes flashed with naked and undisguised greed.
Zuo Sishen nodded in agreement: "Of course!
Any piece of art produced by the elf masters can be sold for thousands of gold coins in the human world.
What's more, this is a very practical treasure.
But its significance to me may only be that it can be sold at a high price.
After all, I probably use it. It can be mass-produced at a cost of less than 1,500 gold coins.
As for the so-called art...
Sorry, I don’t have the cells to appreciate it at all.
It is better to leave it to the rich nobles to buy it back and enjoy the collection slowly. "
After hearing these words, Wilmes couldn't help laughing loudly: "Hahahaha! I knew you were a cunning bastard. Who doesn’t have the ability to appreciate art? You just want to squeeze more wealth from those stupid human nobles. In your eyes, they are probably no different from the fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered in the pigsty. "
"Don't say it so harshly. I didn't use violence to force anyone. It is they who are willing to pay a high price. Doesn’t the value of artworks, fine arts, and handicrafts depend on the recognition and pursuit of those rich people? By hyping up and collecting these high value-added things, nobles can build class barriers and gaps that ordinary people cannot overcome in their lifetimes. And I get more money. This is called each getting what he needs, or it can be called a win-win situation. ”
After that, Zuo Si casually stuffed the chain armor into the shoulder bag he carried.
He is going to find some time to write a heart-stirring and poignant love story for her. Then use the story together as a marketing tool to make a lot of money from the wealthy people of Amn's upper ruling class.
After all, they are both works of art, and the difference between those with stories and those without is not as big as that.
After counting the weapons and armor, Zuo Si began to identify small items such as rings, necklaces, and bracelets one by one.
After a while, he found three magic rings, an amulet and a bracelet.
The rings are:
[The Ring of Regeneration], which allows the wearer to quickly recover from injuries. The ring can even regrow broken limbs;
The [Ring of Free Movement] can ignore all immobilization and movement-restricting spells. With it, you no longer have to worry about being trapped by [Entangle], [Grease], and [Spider Web];
The [Ring of Fire Resistance] gives the wearer resistance to fire. Although it is not 100% immune to fire damage, it can at least guarantee that a fireball will not kill you.
The amulet is [Archer's Eye].
The wearer will gain two additional points of agility attributes, and at the same time increase the probability of long-range weapons hitting vital points (increased critical hit rate).
As for the bracelet, it is the [Energy Strike Ring], which can cause magic damage to designated enemies around you by releasing the stored energy.
The bracelet can restore one to three energy points per day, with a maximum storage limit of ten points.
When used, the wearer can choose how many points of energy to invest at a time.
The higher the number of energy points invested, the more powerful the magic damage will be.
Although it sounds similar to [Ring of the Ram], the difference is that one is force field impact damage, and the other is pure energy damage.
Zuo Si put the [Energy Strike Ring] on his hand without any ceremony.
Put away the other three rings for the time being, and wait until you return to consider which of your subordinates to equip and use.
As for the mountains of coins and trade notes on the ground, he just put the more valuable gold and silver into the dimensional bag.
Then he packed up the precious metals and magic metal ingots extracted by the kobolds and took them away.
Zuo Si didn't even look at the remaining ordinary metals such as copper, crude iron, lead, and tin.
On the one hand, the dimensional bag I brought can hardly hold it.
On the other hand, these things are really not worth much money, so there is no need to spend a lot of money on them.
But just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that Wilmes doesn't care.
After realizing that Zuo Si didn't like those copper coins, copper bars and copper ingots, the greedy red dragon immediately tried: "Don't you want these things?"
"No, it's not that I don't want them, but for the time being. Leave it here for storage first. I plan to make this place a secret base for conducting some relatively noisy experiments," Zuo Si explained meaningfully.
The more he learned about the huge dragon's nest that extended from the middle of the mountain to the ground, and the complex tunnels dug by kobolds below that were as intricate as a maze and stretched for several kilometers, the more he felt that this place had great potential.
What's more, the continent of Faerûn is not just the above-ground part, but also has an equally large and complex underground part - the Underdark.
If the kobolds can dig a passage connecting the Underdark, then Zuo Si can use this passage to get in touch with the underground world.
"Tch! Cheapskate!"
Realizing that he couldn't get any advantage, Wilmes immediately pretended to be disdainful and curled his lips.
However, as the time came to two o'clock in the middle of the night, Zuo Siye continued to bicker with the red dragon. After a little arrangement of their respective responsibilities for the summoned creatures, they immediately embarked on their return journey.
Because he had to return to Mylatma before dawn.
Otherwise, when the sun comes out, everyone will look up and see a red dragon flying across the sky.
At that time, let alone landing, even getting close will trigger a series of chain reactions.
Zuo Si didn’t want to try his best to clean up the mess, only to fall short because he didn’t calculate the time correctly.
