Chapter 120 Dragon's Stone Guard
“Take it, can’t you take it back?!” Gordon looked in disbelief.
"Don't forget, after we got off the mine cart, we walked for two days before arriving at the camp here. You dug such a big bag on the first day. It is conservatively estimated that the mine just now can be dug for three more. Four days, can you bear it?"
Weighing the huge suitcase weighing dozens of kilograms on his back, Gordon slumped his shoulders and said, "It seems to be a bit too much. I don't think I should throw it away. It's a pity."
Anhill, who has always had a big wallet, does not have Gordon's mentality that is at best "thrifty" and at worst "petty".
“Most of them are made of earth crystals and iron ore, right? In the future, the equipment will get better and better, and the demand for the quality of materials will also become higher and higher. Just collect the rough stone, Linghe Stone, and Huilong Stone.
If these basic ores are not very useful, don't bring them with you. If you really can't bear to part with them, you can throw them in the storage box. Although the settlement price is relatively low, you can always exchange them for some money. "
"It can only be the."
Gordon's first serious excavation trip was forced to end on the third day after arriving at the lava canyon.
There is no other reason, the cold drinks have been exhausted
The temperature in the lava canyon was higher than they expected, and heavy physical work like mining would also speed up the consumption of cold drinks. They originally prepared enough cold drinks for at least a week, but in fact they only lasted less than half of it. time.
Gordon originally wanted to try to see if it was possible to adapt and overcome with perseverance, but the facts proved that this was a delusion.
He suffered from heatstroke less than half an hour after leaving the camp, and his skin even showed symptoms of low-temperature burns. He would probably be roasted alive if he stayed any longer.
In desperation, the two of them and the cat set out on their way back to the village.
On the small mine car driving to Naguli Village, Anhil, who was motion-sick, was vomiting as usual, while Gordon happily inspected the harvest.
There are eleven rough stones in the stone guard. These rough stones alone made Gordon's nose bubble with joy.
Coupled with a large number of high-quality metal ores such as Linghe Stone and Phalenite, Gordon and the others spent a lot of effort to move these things from the lava canyon to where the mine carts can reach.
There should be no need to worry about ore materials in a short period of time.
After returning to Naguli Village, Gordon couldn't even wait to put his luggage, and went to find the village chief with Anhir, who was turning blue on his back.
Everyone in the village knows that the best stone guard appraisal and polishing master in Naguli Village is the Tulong village chief himself.
The village chief happily accepted the job, but Gordon was a little disappointed. The matter of identifying the protective stone was not as simple as he thought, and the result could not be obtained with a "swish". (?)
Only after careful cutting and grinding, and removal of impurities and rust stains, can they reveal their original appearance. As for identification, it comes after that.
Seeing that he couldn't get the result right away, Gordon had no choice but to drag Anhil, who was still a little uneasy, to the assembly hall to hand in the task, and at the same time looked forward to the arrival of the agreed next day.
The two of them had a big meal with one cat, soaked in a hot spring and got a good sleep - a whole night of silence.
At noon the next day, Gordon and Anhill, who were in a completely new mental and physical state, rushed to the workshop excitedly, looking forward to good luck.
Along the way, watching Gordon take out an ancient gold coin from his collar as he walked, holding it in his hand and mumbling something, Anhir couldn't help but curiously asked: "Is this gold coin your amulet?"
“Well, it was given by a very lucky friend. I hope it can bring some good luck to her.”
“Oh, ‘her’?” An ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of Anxier’s mouth.
Gordon glanced at him helplessly, and after getting along with him for a long time, he realized that this man was actually a rather sultry guy. Yesterday, he heard from Miss Marian, the waitress, that a girl sent this guy a letter from Dondoruma. .
“Do you want to take a look and pray? It’s quite effective.”
"Is that okay?" Anhil was a little surprised and took the exotic ancient coin handed over by Gordon. He actually didn't believe it, but there was no need to offend his partner's kindness.
Putting the ancient coin in the palm of his hand, he clasped his hands and bowed casually, and Anhir returned the ancient coin.
They had also arrived at the door of the workshop at this time.
Seeing the arrival of the two men, the Tulong village chief yawned and lifted a wooden tray padded with velvet onto the table. Eleven shimmering protective stones were quietly arranged in it.
"Hahaha, you are here!" The Tulong village chief laughed as usual and started chatting, "All eleven protective stones have been identified. You are very lucky, boys. There are two very good ones. We are all jealous after seeing them. Na!"
Gordon and Ancil looked at each other in surprise, and couldn't help but look at the ancient coin on Gordon's chest.
Is it really that smart?
The Tulong village chief stroked his beard, touched the protective stones with fingers as thick as a normal human wrist, and introduced them one by one:
"The seven protective stones here are the most common soldier protective stones. They only have a little bit of attribute resistance added, two for fire resistance, one for lightning resistance, one for ice resistance, two for sleep resistance, and one for paralysis. Patience, to be honest, these patience bonuses are too small to be of any use.”
Gordon and Gordon both ignored these and looked at the remaining ones.
"These two are just so-so. One of the 'Knife-Napping Techniques' can slightly speed up the action of holding the sword. It is useful for swordsmen who like to use swords to cut. It is a warrior-level protective stone and can be used for transition."
A ‘Quick Eat’, eh, can make you take medicine and eat food a little faster. It’s not very useful, but it’s more interesting? "
Gordon: “?”
Eat a little faster? What is the principle of this stone-protecting power?
“The last two are the finale!”
The Tulong village chief’s big hand pulled aside the previous “junk protection stones” and pointed to the last two most shiny protection stones and introduced:
“This one is undoubtedly the best among the batch of guard stones. It belongs to the dragon guard stone. Even high-level hunters will be very greedy. I haven’t seen such a great guard stone for a while!
It has two effects, 'precision shooting' and 'weak point effect'. The former can greatly improve the accuracy of ballista shooting, and the latter causes greater damage (critical hit) when attacking the monster's weak point.
For shooters who are good at sniping, it can be said to be the best protective stone. If it is sold at auction, it can be sold for a very high price. Do you need me to help introduce it?"
"No need! This protective stone is mine! No one can take it away!!" Ancier's face turned red with excitement. He grabbed the king's protective stone, yelled, laughed wildly and punched as hard as he could on weekdays. Elegant and reserved?
Gordon also glared at the Tulong village chief with a face full of enthusiasm.
The latter always introduces the protective stones in order from worst to best, so the quality of the last protective stone will only be better? If that protective stone happens to suit you very well
“This last protective stone is very interesting. Although it is just a knight’s protective stone, its effect is rare!”
ˆ Gordon: "."
Why is it several levels worse than the previous one? ? ?
The Tulong Village Chief held up the protective stone and said infatuatedly: "Its effect is 'cold resistance'. Normal cold-resistant protective stones are not uncommon, and are on the same level as the previous soldier protective stones.
But the cold-resistant effect of this protective stone is very outstanding. As long as you wear it, you will not freeze even if you wear single clothes in the snowy mountains! "
ˆ Gordon: "."
It’s useless! !
ps. Regarding the level of stone protection.
(mh3) The grade of the stone protection after identification is divided from high to low into - soldier's stone protection, warrior's stone protection, knight's stone protection, city protection stone, queen's stone protection, king's stone protection, dragon's stone protection, hero's stone protection, legend Protective Stone, Protective Stone of Heaven.
The above ten levels may seem average (and difficult to remember), but they are orthodox level divisions that have appeared more than once in the Monster Hunter series.
In the official Monster Hunter novels, this scale is also used to classify hunter levels (soldier level hunter, queen level hunter, hero level hunter, etc.—!).
I initially considered using this rating classification, but it was too difficult to remember, so I used the simplest few stars emmmmmmm
ps2. In this book, in most cases, mixing and matching equipment will not be considered. After all, it’s just in the game. In real life, you have to at least dress like a person, right?
Hence, the attribute selection of the protective stone will also be biased towards versatility. After all, unlike in the game, you only need to move your fingers to brush the protective stone.
In terms of stone protection skills and effect settings, the mh3 series and the mhw series are mixed together, and they are as numerical as possible.
