Lord of War

Alfred actually wanted to persuade Sean to quit, but now that Sean insists on moving forward, and Cecilia agrees to continue, he knows that he can't say anything else.

In the deepest part of this crypt, there must be something precious enough to attract these two, otherwise, they will not be so moved.

If Alfred is not curious, then it is naturally impossible, but no matter how curious he is, he will not ask questions, which is due to his character. So since Sean and Cecilia also insisted on moving forward, Alfred stopped talking and walked towards the second tunnel from the left with no wind.

Holding the long sword in his hand tightly, Alfred felt a strange force emerge from the sword, and then passed into his body. This peculiar feeling made him feel that his strength was increasing, and his reaction ability and physical fitness were also strengthened to a certain extent. The whole person seemed to have become much stronger. At this moment, Alfred knew that in his hand This long sword is definitely a magical weapon.

Only magic weapons can enhance a person's fighting ability.

Alfred tied this long sword to his back. He was not very good at using this kind of weapon. If he could, he would actually prefer to use his fist to solve the problem. Fortunately, after putting the sword on his back, Alfred did not feel that the constant influx of power from the sword disappeared, which reassured him a lot. After all, fighting with unfamiliar weapons is any A problem that a combat profession will try to avoid as much as possible.

The small team of Sean continued to move forward in this slightly strange atmosphere.

As the team continued to progress, Sean needed to stop and rest more and more often. At this time, Alfred and Cecilia have already seen it. When dealing with the Old Demon Spider just now, Sean must have used some powerful secret skills that they didn't know. Such a fierce and terrifying fighting ability, but this secret technique also has very powerful side effects, and now it is time for the side effects to take effect.

Adrenalin stimulation, this is not a difficult skill to acquire, but it is only for players. For the people on Miracle Continent, any skill that can improve personal combat ability in a short period of time is a special secret skill that cannot be declared. Generally, only those ancient wealthy families have it. Therefore, Alfred De and Cecilia think that Sean is using a secret technique, which is naturally reasonable.

"Let's rest here." When the team came to a small cave, Alfred finally said, "When your condition is better, we will move on. Now you are not suitable for continuing exploration. , and if you encounter danger in the narrow tunnel, you will not be able to protect you at all."

For Alfred's statement, Sean could only nod in agreement, his current situation is indeed a burden.

And this kind of situation happened, but Sean didn't expect it.

In his impression, the adrenalin skill will indeed produce a "tired" DUBUFF after being used before level 3, but the duration of this DUBUFF is only one hour. However, more than an hour has obviously passed since the DUBUFF effect was produced, but the effect has not yet ended. This is indeed beyond Sean's expectations.

On the personal panel, the DUBUFF located in the abnormal status column does not have the countdown timer that should appear in the general DUBUFF in the game. It was only at this moment that Sean realized that in the real world, many abnormal conditions could no longer be dealt with with the experience in the game. For DUBUFFs like "tiredness", I am afraid that they really need a good rest before they can recover.

That's why Sean agreed with Alfred to rest in this small cave.

He didn't want to be a drag on the team.

A 70% drop in all abilities due to fatigue can be a very serious consequence, and after Charles's sword was lent to Alfred, his overall abilities dropped even more severely. Now Sean's strength and stamina are only four points, and his agility is only three points. In this case, let alone the spider, even Cecilia, without magic, just raise his fist and beat it, theoretically it can be Beat Sean to death.

Sean put down his backpack and took out a piece of food from it.

The food is very simple, only a pack of compressed instant dry food and a small bottle of water and a few sugar pills.

Compressed instant dry food is an alchemical product, somewhat like the compressed nutrient solution of the earth. It is only two fingers thick and about two centimeters long and looks like a piece of meat. The food energy it contains is almost equivalent to what an adult needs in a normal day. serving size. However, the taste of this kind of thing is similar to chewing wax. Not only is it bland and tasteless, but it is even easy to be thirsty. Therefore, it is equipped with sugar pills to adjust the taste and a small bottle of water to moisten the throat.

This kind of configuration is a relatively common fast food product on Miracle Continent. Compared with pure dry food, this kind of food takes up less space and has a sufficient portion. It is usually the standard equipment of the military of various countries. However, some wealthy adventurers or medium and large mercenary groups will also purchase such materials for equipment in case of emergencies. Of course, the price of each standard quota is naturally not low.

Alfred glanced at the backpack, and it was full of more than 30 servings. It seemed that Sean's ten-day serving was not a joke. However, to purchase these thirty or so meals, at least four Portoroa gold coins are needed. In Alfred's view, Sean is really not ordinary rich, and this also strengthens Alfred's idea. The deepest treasures are absolutely very precious.

At least, Alfred had never heard of it before, three people dared to explore the underground passage, and even prepared such a large amount of compressed instant dry food. Generally, to explore an underground passage, no matter what the situation is, it will inevitably be a complete standard team of ten people. The most important thing is that there must be one or two defenders, at least one thief, and one hunter. A demon hunter from the Demon Guild and a magician with extensive field combat experience, and then there must be a person with expertise in map drawing, and the remaining few places will be considered for other combat occupations.

But Sean, not to mention defenders and thieves, doesn't even have a map drawing expertise, so even if the treasure is found, how will he leave this underground passage?

Just now, Alfred has carefully checked the way forward. This underground passage is definitely the product of the dungeon ethnic group, and it may even be the result of cooperation between multiple ethnic groups.

Judging from the excavation traces, it is very similar to the handwriting of kobolds, and the smooth stone walls on both sides of the passage should be the secretions from the cave demons, and the structural blueprint of the crypt passage should be from the dark elves or the crypt demons. , and only these two races will dig underground passages two meters high, after all, the height advantage is there. However, from the analysis of the existing clues, Alfred is more inclined to the latter, because the cave demon is the domestication of the cave demon.

If Sean knew of Alfred's conjecture at this moment, he would definitely be in awe, because the truth of the facts was indeed almost guessed by him. This is enough to prove that Alfred's previous years as the head of the regiment were not a joke, but had real facts. At least in terms of understanding of dungeon products, Alfred was far better than the average person. And this point cannot be easily summed up without the experience of long-term combat with dungeon creatures.

But Alfred didn't say it, and Sean naturally didn't know that after he insisted on eating his instant compressed dry food, he fell asleep. The effect of fatigue was too much for him now. deep.

After seeing Sean falling asleep, Alfred said helplessly: "This underground passage is not easy, we still have time to turn around."

"Sean won't agree." Cecilia ate the dry food silently and shook her head, "There are things that must be obtained in the deepest part. And we have come here and exposed our whereabouts, if we are now If we leave, maybe those who follow us will take advantage of the fisherman."

"You already know?" Alfred frowned slightly.

"Sean discovered it long ago." Cecilia said softly, "He originally planned to use this underground passage to completely bury these people here."

Alfred is a little awe-inspiring, and Sean's hand is not only big enough, but also ruthless. He couldn't help feeling sympathy for those who followed Sean, but in the end, it was those people who were greedy. If it wasn't for Sean's wealth, the mercenaries in Cerroda would not have acted like this. .

However, this has long been an unspoken rule in the industry. Many mercenaries may turn into robbers and bandits if they turn around. Not to mention the looting of business travel, even other mercenary groups may start. Anyway, as long as it is handled cleanly and no one reports it, the mercenary guild will not come to investigate the tricks in it - this kind of problem, not only There are mercenary guilds, adventurers guilds and demon hunters guilds.

The only one that can be called absolutely clean and disciplined is the Pioneer Guild, because this is a guild that is really working hard to save the world.

"Alas." Alfred sighed, "In fact, my eyelids were twitching that night. I should have known that something bad would happen to join your team, but I didn't expect it to come. So fast. . . . There are crypt demons in this underground passage, right?"

"Well." Cecilia didn't deny it, "Sean said that the deepest dwellers were a group of crypt demons, but they were expelled and belonged to rebels, and the number was not very large, only about a dozen or 20. Well. But the real trouble is that they have three cave worms. According to Sean's meaning, they want the 'tail' to be used as a bait, and we will take action after we have both lost."

Alfred's eyelids twitched a few times, more than a dozen or twenty, which is not much?
