Chapter 127 Hero’s Protective Stone
Recalling Lan Long's majestic figure like a god, Gordon immediately deleted the plan to build the "Ancient Blade" from his itinerary.
First make a rusty sword from a plate-shaped rust block as a backup weapon. As for when you can make the ancient blade, let it happen.
After entrusting the rust piece to the Tulong village chief, Gordon turned around and left, but before he could walk out of the workshop gate, he turned back.
“I almost forgot when I got distracted. The reason I came here to see you this time is to ask you to identify this rough stone.” Gordon smiled and took out the heavily weathered rough stone from his arms.
The Tulong village chief, who was always smiling, became serious the moment he saw the rough stone in Gordon's palm.
“Weathered talisman.”
"What?"
The village chief opened his huge palm, carefully took the rough stone, and explained: "This is a very, very rare rough stone that protects the stone. If you have to classify the rough stone, it is a very high-end one.
After processing and identification, it is very possible to create a hero or even a higher level protective stone. "
Hearing this, Gordon almost smiled crookedly.
Sure enough, we found something good!
Looking up at Gordon, the village chief said seriously: "We will identify it as soon as possible. Brother Gordon, please go back and wait for the news. I will notify you as soon as the results come out."
Gordon almost jumped out of the workshop.
There is no need to worry about the safety of the stone guard. The credibility of the Tulong village chief is absolutely guaranteed.
Jogging all the way to the assembly hall tavern, after telling Ancil and Pork Chop the good news, they unanimously decided to have a big meal to celebrate the completion of this mission.
Eat a big meal, soak in hot springs, and sleep in.
This seems to have become a regular routine for their team to relax after returning from the hunting ground.
However, this time, the process does not seem to be going very smoothly.
After soaking in the hot spring, Gordon returned to the rental house. Not long after he lay down, he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
The knocker was so strong that Gordon suspected that if he knocked a few more times, the wooden door would be smashed.
Open the door. The person outside the door is the village chief.
The old man grabbed Gordon's hand and shook it vigorously, "Heroic stone protection! It's really a heroic stone protection! Little brother Gordon, do you know what effect the stone protection is? You have made a great contribution this time!"
Gordon, who was a little dazed in his sleep, was naturally happy when he heard the words "heroic stone guard", but he really couldn't think of anything to do with "meritorious service".
At this time, Pork Chop, who liked to sleep naked, and Anxier, who was wearing silk pajamas, also came over. They were not deaf, so they were naturally awakened by the knocking on the wall.
"The attribute of the stone guard is the very rare 'miasma resistance'. It is the highest level. Wearing it can completely ignore the erosion of miasma!" The Tulong village chief said, waving his big hand.
“Huh?” Gordon felt that his face must be green at this time.
He doesn’t even know where the miasma is.
Anhil was also waiting for the village chief's explanation with a strange expression on his face.
He had told Gordon before that a lucky man once dug up a top-level protective stone that could neutralize any poison. The two should have the same purpose.
The problem is that there are many monsters with poisonous attributes, so the protective stone has a wide range of applications, but this "miasma resistance" is something I haven't heard much about.
“Oh, I forgot to explain!” Noticing that Gordon and others were not very interested, the Tulong village chief smiled and said: “It is indeed rare to see a miasma environment on this continent, but there is one in the New World!
According to the report returned by the third phase of the New World Survey Team, they discovered a huge canyon shrouded in miasma, which was named the ‘Valley of Miasma’.
Once humans come into contact with and inhale miasma, they will immediately be eroded by it. The miasma deep in the Valley of Miasma is particularly strong. If no response is taken, one will die in just a few minutes after entering. No matter how powerful the hunter is, he cannot resist this kind of force. The erosion from the inside to the outside can only be resisted by constantly drinking recovery medicine.
Hmm, please keep the following information confidential.
Through the risk-taking reconnaissance of several high-ranking hunters, the investigation team confirmed that there is a certain kind of ancient dragon living at the bottom of the Miasma Valley, and the formation of the Miasma Valley may be related to it.
In order to ascertain the intelligence of the ancient dragon and avoid causing a larger-scale ecological disaster, the third phase of the investigation team developed new equipment and medicines while sending a request for assistance to the Hunter Guild, hoping to find a way to combat the miasma.
The guild has been troubled for a long time and has never been able to find a breakthrough, and now, this protective stone is the breakthrough!
As long as an elite hunter wears it and goes deep into the Valley of Miasma, he will have the opportunity to see the true face of the mysterious ancient dragon, ascertain its ecology, and prepare for everything that may happen next! "
Gordon scratched his neck.
He understood it. In short, this hero-level protective stone was of no use to him, but it was very useful to the Hunter Guild and the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team.
No wonder the Tulong village chief said that he had made meritorious service.
Gordon is willing to suffer some losses and make some contributions to the guild, but after all, this is a top-level stone guard
Seeing Gordon's hesitation, the Tulong village chief said quickly: "Of course the guild will not ask you to hand over the guard stone unconditionally. You can choose to settle in money, and the reward will definitely satisfy you.
If you are not that interested in money, you can also choose a protective stone of the same grade from my collection of protective stones in exchange. Hey, I am not bragging, our collection of protective stones is unmatched by anyone in the entire continent! "
After hearing what the village chief said, Gordon was completely relieved.
What is there to hesitate about?
“When can we pick up the protective stone?” Gordon asked impatiently.
The Tulong Village Chief's face froze, and his facial features were wrinkled. "If you don't mind, you can do it now. This miasma-resistant protective stone needs to be sent out as soon as possible. Following the principle of exchange, you can choose it now."
The pressure has been put on the Tulong village chief. He is willing to accept it, and his heartache is really heartbreaking.
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
Although it was late at night, it was obviously impossible for Gordon to go back to sleep and wait for dawn. Not to mention his client, even Ancil hurriedly went back to change his pajamas and planned to go there together to consult with the staff.
He excitedly followed the Tulong village chief to the workshop. The latter entered the inner room with a grimace on his face, and came out holding several huge wooden boxes.
Anhil was the first to raise his hand, "Can you take back the guard stone used by the shooter first? You probably won't be happy to sell it, so that I won't feel bad when I see it but don't get it."
Hearing this, the Tulong village chief smacked his lips and put away some of the wooden boxes, and then opened the rest.
The brilliant luster of the numerous top-grade protective stones almost blinded Gordon. This has been collected by the Tulong village chief for more than a hundred years.
"Little brother Gordon, the protective stone you contributed is a hero-level one, so we won't respond to you with an inadequate protective stone. Every protective stone here is at least queen-level, and the highest one is Hero level.
As for the legendary stone guard, hahaha, that’s at the bottom of the box and I can’t give it to you. "
“A heaven-level protective stone?” Gordon asked out of curiosity.
“There are only two heaven-level protective stones. One is enshrined in the temple on Sky Mountain and is kept by the great monk Zheng, and the other is in the East Doruma Grand Hall and is held by the great elder of the Hunter Guild.
You little bastard, stop dreaming! "
Ps.mh There are differences and even conflicts in the settings of each work. I will try my best to rationalize these differences and then integrate the characters and events of several generations of works.
