Chapter 11 Treasure Cave
There are not many haunted places in Amber City.
Soren just took a little inquiry and determined the approximate location of the hidden treasure cave. There was a mass grave about one kilometer north of the Onyx River, and more than once someone saw traces of ghost activities there. This is one of the more obvious signs of the treasure cave. Lichs always like to arrange these caves closer to death.
"There are ghosts?"
"Then maybe a little holy water."
In order to ensure Vivian's safety, although Sauron was sure to explore the treasure cave, he was not sure how long it would take, so he planned to send her to the Temple of Morning Light for Pastor An Yali to take care of. It was the priest girl who had helped Sauron but always spoke coldly to him. There should be no problem with her taking care of Vivian. Of course, the Temple of Morning Light could not take in a little girl for no reason. Sauron had already prepared a sum of money to the Temple.
Temple of Dawn.
Sauron leaned slightly towards Pastor Fell of the abbot's temple. When the other party took the purse he presented, he heard a crisp and pleasant striking sound of Silver Deller inside, and immediately said with a full face: "No problem!"
"The Lord of the Morning Blesses all believers who believe in him, and this little girl can live in the temple for a while."
"Let her follow An Yali to train in the pastor."
This is a world that cannot be separated from money.
Even priests with powerful power are the same. They need to expand their faith in serving gods and absorb believers among the lower class of poor people. All of these things are inseparable from money. Maintenance of the temple requires money, donating believers requires money, and holding sacred rituals requires even more money. Now even most priests in the temple have begun to openly sell divine techniques to cure diseases and recover injuries, etc. in exchange for enough wealth to maintain the temple to expand its faith. What is the matter of just taking in a little girl for a few days, plus selling a few gallons of holy water?
The Temple of Morning Light is not very powerful, and can only be ranked below the second line in Amber City.
Therefore, there will always be better choices when offering sacrifices to the nobles, and the money offered by Sauron seems quite precious.
There are a total of sixty silver derrells.
It is equivalent to the offerings received by the Temple of Morning Light in half a month recently, and it allows Pastor Fer to replace the instruments that preside over the sacred rituals with one or two silverware.
After all, this is a silver coin created by the believer of the Goddess of Wealth, and twenty pieces weigh one pound!
"Thank you, Rev. Fair."
Sauron expressed his gratitude politely, and then smiled at Pastor An Yali beside him and said, "Vivian has troubled you these days!"
"snort."
The girl snorted softly, but did not refuse. Although she still didn't like Soren, she liked the little girl around her very much at first sight. Of course, An Yali knew that Soren's money was not clean, and she was probably either stolen or was related to the gang fights in the slums. However, Pastor Ferr had been preparing for her sacred ceremony for her to advance to the formal priest for a long time. Finally, Sauron was willing to contribute such a sum of money, and of course he had to take it over to prepare the sacred ceremony given by divine art for her.
If there are two formal priests, the Temple of Morning Light should be able to quickly enter the ranks of the second-rate Amber City!
"Vivian follows Sister An Yali first."
Sauron reached out and stroked the little girl's head, comforting her: "I'll come to pick you up in two days!"
He had already told the girl before he came.
Vivian did not object to Sauron's arrangement at all, but just nodded obediently: "Yes."
"Don't worry about me."
"Vivian is very well-behaved and will never run around."
Sauron leaned over her forehead and kissed her lightly, then picked up the holy water and walked out of the Temple of Morning Light.
Since the skinning incident has already happened, he needs to speed up.
Before the gods were forced to walk in the world as saints, the temple should be one of the safest places in Amber City. It is shrouded in the divine power gathered by faith and the guardian temple. There are not many evils who dare to easily enter. Even a second-rate temple like the Temple of Morning Light, in addition to a formal priest, there are six powerful temple guards.
The strength is basically above level two!
One of the temple guards even has the strength of level 3. Conservatively estimated that they have a level 10 knight attendant/level 10 knight/level 5 temple guardian, or a profession template for level 10 knight attendant/level 10 warrior/level 5 temple guardian.
The first occupation level above represents your basic occupation before you change your job.
For example, most indigenous wizards have the profession level of level 10 scholars, because they need to recognize words before learning spells and have a certain knowledge base. For example, many advanced warrior professions have the prefix of level 10 militia, which means that they are trained at militia level before becoming formal warriors.
As for Sauron's level 10 civilians, this represents the lowest level of pre-profession.
There is no weapon mastery attached to militia, nor the knowledge bonus attached to scholars. The only advantage is that you can obtain 25 skill points and advance to any profession at the same time.
As long as your talent attributes are sufficient!
The basic professions in the front generally do not add any attribute points, but there are still some differences depending on the focus. For example, the best predecessor in the melee system is the level 10 knight attendant, which can obtain an additional skill point with weapon expertise. But this is for the professional template that players have. If this template is replaced by the indigenous people, Sauron was born and was a civilian, and he received civilian education since childhood. The growth of his own attributes in childhood depends entirely on fortune. It is difficult to predict whether he becomes a genius or a mediocre person, until he advanced to become a thief.
The third-level Templar Knight received training from a young age as a knight attendant. He had already received combat training when he was young and had mastered most weapons. Therefore, some of his attributes were inherently much higher than those of civilians, whether in terms of strength or physique, etc., and it continued until he became a warrior or knight, and began to continue to improve his strength as a professional.
Therefore, in the past, players judged the level of the basic attributes of an indigenous people and saw their predecessor profession.
The civilian profession is average, the militia profession is slightly stronger, the comprehensive attributes of knight attendants are relatively high, and scholars have innate knowledge advantages.
To sum up.
That is the same second-level profession, and the temple guards are much harder to deal with than the wild road warriors.
The wild path warriors may have a lower attribute than theirs, and their ability to master is only basic swordsmanship, but the temple guards will have a higher attribute than some, and they will master more than three advanced abilities at the same time.
After mastering Cross Sword Technique, [Sword Strategy - Cross Slash] made Sauron deeply remember it!
……………………
Mass grave.
It was already afternoon when Sauron came here, and it took him half a day to find the entrance to the cave.
It was a simple concealed device, more like a trap mechanism.
As a rock near the mass grave was moved ten centimeters, a dark cave entrance appeared on the hillside not far away. When Sauron entered it, the rock immediately returned to its original place and the cave entrance disappeared without a trace. It is worthy of being made by a lich, and some arrangements are also extremely clever in the eyes of Sauron, the former legendary thief.
A piece of darkness.
There are damaged torches on both sides of the cave. If an ordinary person comes in, he may not be able to walk without ignition. However, as a half-elves with one-eighth elf blood, Sauron still has a certain ability to night vision. Therefore, he does not need to light the torch to roughly see everything in the cave. This is the key to his daring to explore the treasure cave alone.
Stealth + night vision = silent.
No lighting tools are needed to mean that monsters in the cave will not be alarmed.
The safety factor has been greatly improved!
Sauron's figure gradually merged into the darkness. As he awakened his professional expertise of "Shadow Mastery", he could already feel the existence of the power of shadow, which was different from the previous feeling. In the darkness, his figure gradually became hazy, as if it had disappeared into the shadow. Only when he moved can he vaguely detect the slight changes in the shadow.
His breathing, his heartbeat, his smell is covered by shadows!
"Cruff."
There was a sound of footsteps in front of him, and Sauron gently pulled out his dagger and hid in a corner of the cave and waited.
The treasure cave is quite large.
After all, it is impossible for the Lich to just dig a pit underground. There are many underground passages here, including many guardian monsters and the traps set up by the Lich.
A skeleton appeared in front of Sauron.
Its eyes did not have a soul fire, which means it was just the lowest level of resurrection skeleton. It might be because of the rich death energy here that it unconsciously guarded here. Such skeletons are easier to deal with, and ordinary professionals can deal with one or two, but it is impossible to kill a large group of people at will, because their strength is roughly equivalent to that of militia above regular training, and there are no fatal weaknesses on them. After all, skeletons are also one of extraordinary creatures.
Even if it is the lowest level of undead creature.
Sauron's figure approached quietly, and the unconsciously active skeleton did not notice at all. It held a rusty iron sword in its hand, which seemed to be the adventurer who had once explored here. The plot was no less than that of the players, and there were even many evil camps that cooperated with players and even sneaked behind the scenes to kill players. Anyone who underestimated the world of "The Battle of the Gods" would have to pay the price.
A cold light suddenly appeared in the darkness!
Sauron's figure emerged in the shadow, and instantly swung his dagger and stabbed the skeleton's spine.
"The shadows were hiding successfully!"
"Backstab starts!"
"Successfully activated the backstab*2, causing 18 (+1) damage to the target!"
"The target was seriously injured!"
……………………
This is the first time Sauron succeeded in backstabing but did not kill the enemy in seconds.
However, he was not surprised by this, because he was holding an ordinary dagger, without enchantment or extraordinary characteristics. It is difficult to achieve a one-hit kill against undead creatures. After all, undead creatures also have additional bonuses for extraordinary creatures. Although the challenge difficulty of skeletons is only level 1, their health is more than 30 points, and they are not flesh and blood, but they are more resistant to fighting than ordinary people.
Dangdangdangdangdangdang!
The skeleton's combat instinct was still there. After being attacked, his first reaction was to slash it with a sword, causing a sharp sound of breaking through the air. Sauron used a dagger to hold the attack, and his body sank for a moment.
"The strength is over 16 points."
Sauron dodged the second attack, then moved his slightly numb arm and said to himself: "It should have been an advanced warrior during his lifetime, otherwise it would not have been as powerful as it becomes a dead soul."
10 points of strength are the standard of ordinary people.
The power of 12 o'clock is equivalent to the coolie workers who work every day in the dock area.
14 points of strength is considered to be the most powerful among ordinary people.
16 points of strength are roughly equal to the weightlifter in his previous life.
The power of 18 o'clock is quite exaggerated. He can chop people with more than 100 kilograms of weapons in one hand, and this is the one who does not breathe after the chopping.
Generally, those who can reach 16 points or above are melee professionals who are specially trained.
Attribute points are the most difficult thing to improve. Only two profession levels can obtain a little free attribute. Even if you upgrade to level 20 and enter the legendary realm, you will only have 10 free attribute points. In this regard, Sauron has a relatively large flaw. His strength is only 12 points. Because he has never deliberately trained his strength when he was young, he is not a bloodline of the divine power of the gods, so his strength is only similar to the coolie who carries boxes in the dock area.
As for the extraordinary power of 20 points, you can give a simple example.
Hill giant.
A giant who is about 5 meters tall and weighs nearly half a ton, and usually uses a mace thick at the waist of an adult as a weapon!
That's right.
This guy is the standard of 20 extraordinary power!
If it weren't for the natural divine power, many warriors would not have extraordinary power of more than 20 points.
Chapter completed!
