Chapter 25 Malik's Shadow (1)

Unlike in ordinary games, spending some money to learn a drawing, then reading a piece, BIU creates items at once, the manufacturing in the illusion is a real thing. Take forging as an example. Before the blacksmith + forging Gonzalez, he must complete every process step by step before he learns soul forging. Mining, smelting, pounding, tempering, tempering, and polishing, everything must be done by himself, and it is not careless.

Link chose props to be a professional not only because of Gonzalez and Su Wu's suggestions, but mainly because of the magical effect of having side jobs that can improve learning speed. At first, he found it quite interesting, but as the props require more and more skills, he began to question his decisions and even had the idea of ​​being cheated by the two.

Iron Forging, Civil Craftsman, Weaving and Leathering, Laundry and Slaughtering, etc. As the largest city in the southwest, Aiden City has all the handicraft workshops from the Middle Ages. They are either adjacent or divided into separate areas, making them the most lively and dirtiest neighborhoods in the entire city. Since life and work are not separated, many people live in the workshops downstairs and upstairs, and many businesses start working before dawn.

In the city block near the drainage ditch in the city, Link stepped on the leather soaked in a large tank barefoot for a long time. This was the last process before dyeing. Three hours of tanning destroyed not only his feet, but also his sense of smell.

Although I had seen ancient leather making methods on TV before, I had experienced it before knowing how hard this work was. I first soaked in a dyeing tank dominated by coarse salt for three days, removed the blood stains on the fur and the residual fat, soaked and tanned in a water tank mixed with pigeon feces, animal fat, fish oil, etc., and tanned it. The whole process was handmade. The physical energy consumption was no worse than wrought iron. The most serious thing was the pungent smell, which made Link feel that the odor of the dead body was not so difficult to accept.

"Okay, you can pick it up." The old cobbler who had been standing by and watching signaled that Link could pick up and dye the leather he had tanned.

After following the procedure, Link picked up the equipment placed in the corner of the wall and walked away from the leather making workshop filled with various dyed vats in his empty steps. Looking at his departure, the old cobbler still couldn't figure out why this young man came to learn leather making. Although the mercenaries lived a life of licking blood from the knife and exchanging their lives for money, they were much better than those of them, who were unsecured.

Hawke also couldn't understand it. When he heard Link learning from his skills everywhere in the Craftsman District, he was so shocked that his chin almost fell to the ground.

The son of nature, even if he is a clergy at the time of his election, why should he lower his status and do those dirty and tiring work? Experience the lives of poor people? He sent his subordinates to follow him for a month before he believed that Link was not trying to hide any ulterior motives in this way, but he was learning it sincerely.

Dragging his sore feet away from the leather workshop, Link passed through an alley to give himself a natural recovery of physical fitness, and he also rushed to the mercenary training site outside the city.

Because Aiden's Adventurers Union is located outside the city, there is no special underground training ground like the River Valley Town, but it simply draws out an area in the open space. In such an environment, Link certainly cannot use magical skills, and he cannot turn Jafar back into his body to train with him. Fortunately, it is common for a large number of mercenaries to compete and compete with each other. As long as it is in the prescribed area, the guards will not interfere. The last time they were chased was entirely because they were fighting near the union tent.

When Link went to the union to find a task that could be completed alone, he encountered a mercenary who recognized him, asked for a bare-handed fight, and asked for a formal duel, and several groups of people who wanted to integrate into the Aiden mercenary circle. After a while, the mercenaries stationed outside the city knew that recently an arrogant newcomer had come. Adventurers above veterans disdained to bully the small, and novices wanted to compete with him to see if the rumors were true.

In contrast to the magical technique you can learn, the learning of martial arts depends entirely on monotonous practice, repeated over and over again until the body is fully adapted and integrated, and you must be able to move your body as you move. As for how to use it in battle, it is a matter of experience. Thanks to these mercenaries who have nowhere to vent their energy, Link found a way to improve combat experience without worrying about his life.

As a fantasy enthusiast, Link also likes Cui San, who is dual-held, but Yuan Ye and Pane are both professions that can fight but not bear. At this stage, he is the only one who can act as a meat shield tank. In the end, he can only give up dual-held and follow the sword and shield route.

Edgar's setting also has a heavy armor punishment. Although Link's physical fitness has increased due to training, it is far from the level of warriors of the same level. The more space bags are placed, the more storage products it has soon affected his agility. He has to use a relatively light leather shield instead of the metal shield.

As a prop artist, Link changed the material from leather to rattan when he made it himself. Although it was time-consuming and troublesome, he was soaked in the oil for a long time after the knitting, but his defense was amazing, but unfortunately his weakness was too obvious.

From afar, Link saw a large group of people gathered in the mercenary training ground. Just as he was about to go over, he suddenly felt the breath of Jafar.

With the contract connection, the wolf easily found Link in the crowd, and then approached and said in a low voice.

"That thing has progressed."

Link paused and finally made progress...

It has been almost three months since I arrived at Aiden, and according to the time difference in the illusion, it is only ten days, but the main task has no movement.

Hull's order was to sneak into Aiden as a mercenary, secretly monitor the lord, and collect evidence of his collusion with the undead. During this period, Sherman has been huddled in the castle, and even the municipal council rarely attended. Seeing that there was no death penalty for January's novice period was about to end, Link was also very anxious, but Sherman just didn't make any noise.

In the Golden Rose Tavern, in the room where the soundproof barrier was displayed, in addition to the person in charge of Aiden, the man in charge of the spider web, there was also a young woman dressed in a maid. The esthetic silver necklace worn on the neck was slightly hot, and Link immediately realized that the man was a member of the spider web. Like Hawk's, the spider web emblem he held could also sense other spider web emblems within a 100-meter range.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, I heard that he had been in the industry for several years. He looked like a girl with freckles on his face brought a top secret message - Sherman was sick. From the beginning, he had just coughed a little, and had been in bed for a long time. He had been sleeping for a long time than he was awake.

Sherman's family was the twelve lords of the original empire. Until his grandfather's generation was replaced by stronger emerging aristocrats, the title was retained for some special reasons.

Hawke's point of view, this may be the reason why the lord colluded with the undead.

Link also felt that this kind of speculation was quite serious. Sherman was not very old, but he had always been weak. Although he had married a wife, he had no children. According to the system, if he had no heirs after his death, his title and territory would be taken back together, which was the most unacceptable for the nobles.

"I have a top-secret information here." He sent off his subordinates who were lying in Sherman's mansion. Hawke told Link that the Lord's name was Couns, and issued a commission at the union to collect experienced adventurers to explore the Olasio Mountains. Because Olasio is close to the Pillar of the Land, it is particularly noted that he should have experience in adventure in the mountains and forests, preferably a ranger or a mountain citizen.

"Don't you find it strange? If it's an ordinary adventure, why should we emphasize the ranger and mountain people?"

Link did not answer immediately. Hawke had a strong desire to show off, and he would answer it by himself.

"Obviously, his purpose is not just to plunder unguarded tombs, dig out the mineral veins on the exposed surface, and capture a few low-level magical creatures. His purpose is to guard the boundaries of the land. Only the mountain people and rangers living nearby know how to avoid traps in the forest and approach the border without disturbing the druids."

"Why did he go to the border?" Link was very puzzled. What did Sherman's move have to do with the collusion between the undead?

"Rumored that there is a lost holy object from the valley town to the northern border." The lost means that there is no owner, and anyone can own it. Hawke said: "Maybe Sherman is eyeing that holy object."

Obviously this explanation doesn't work. Since the legend has been around for a long time, why is Sherman looking for it now?

Link was puzzled.

There are undeads from the northern border of Hegu Town. Are they also interested in holy objects? The undeads are destroyed in the north, and even the coalition of nature and human forces cannot withstand it. What is the power of this holy object worthy of Frost Han? Moreover, holy objects are gifted by God, and only conversion can play a role. The most powerful confidant of the God of Death wants something from other gods?

"Do you need me to register for you?" Hawke asked, through the relationship between spider webs, you can directly join the team without having to participate in the screening.

"Another place is added, I will bring a helper." Link thought carefully and decided to bring Yuan Ye with him. This kid has been very motivated recently, and the skills of the bard are also good auxiliary. As for Jafar, Link was worried that his druid identity might be discovered by Sherman. After all, there is a bug that the Life Weaver is against the sky, so there is no need to worry about the identity of the Son of Nature being discovered by the God-Revelation Prophecy. By the way, he also notified Hull that no matter what Sherman intends to do, be prepared to defend first.

When the Adventurers Union tents gathered, Link unexpectedly saw Paine who had disappeared for a long time. Although they occasionally drank and exchanged information, they had never cooperated since their first team mission.

After asking, I found out that he had received the newly joined Assassin's Guild secret order and mixed into the adventure team of the lord's disguised identity group, waiting for an opportunity to regain the holy objects belonging to the God of Shadow.

Malik is the subordinate god of the Goddess of the Night. He is in charge of conspiracy and assassination and is deeply worshipped by thieves, assassins and politicians. If the sacred object is really the god, it is reasonable for the Assassin's Guild to take it back, but... why should a new member of the veteran rank?

Link tried his best to suppress his desire to turn around and avoid confronting the servant who followed the disguised Sherman. The beautiful boy who was jokingly called a man by other members was always watching him, full of inquiry and suspicion.

From the lord's intentions to the members who participated, the whole thing was full of fog, and Link had a very bad premonition about this so-called "adventure".
