Chapter 54: Even dogs don’t play attribute swords
Use a small brush dipped in soap, scrub carefully, and finally rinse away the moss, oil and dust stubbornly attached to the gaps with clean water.
After nearly half an hour of repeated brushing, this exotic gold coin, which was at least hundreds of years old, finally regained its original glory.
The abstract depiction of a certain evil dragon on the coin is exquisite and clear, and the whole is copper-yellow and shiny. It is very pleasing to the eye. Even Pork Chop, who has been tinkering with explosive bombs, can't help but get close to it.
“What a beautiful cat! Looks like a golden cat!”
Wipe off the moisture on the gold coins with a towel. Gordon tossed them around a few times and said, "The gold is softer and heavier than this, but after cleaning, it is indeed newer than I thought. The smelting technology of the ancients It’s really awesome.”
With that said, he rummaged through the box and found a strong animal sinew rope, passed it through the small hole on the gold coin that must have been drilled out by the Qimian clan with crude tools, and hung it around his neck.
The psychological effect was extremely powerful, and Gordon felt as if all his bad luck had been dispelled in an instant.
Intellectually, he knew that this was an illusion, but emotionally he firmly believed that if he was asked to touch the corpse of the Qimian Clan now, he would definitely not find any half-eaten dried mushrooms.
At least it has to be a complete one, right?
Just like that, Gordon fell asleep with infinite expectations for a good future.
There was everything in the dream, but it was just a dream after all. When morning came and Gordon sat up from the bed holding his hair, the good memories in last night's dream had almost disappeared.
There is nothing to feel sorry for.
Compared to the illusory dream, today is the day he participated in a three-star mission for the first time!
The reason why he left his hometown was to challenge new monsters and make himself stronger?
Picked up the pork chop that was still rolling in his den, quickly washed up, and changed into armor. It wasn't until he saw the empty weapon rack that Gordon recalled that his blasting knife was still under repair.
It was already in the afternoon when we gathered to set off, and my expectations were stuck in my throat.
In order to get the weapon as soon as possible, Gordon spent a whole boring morning squatting in the workshop. The owner of the workshop thought he was in the way, so he rushed a little, and then he was allowed to get the repaired weapon before lunch. Explosive Knife.
I have to say that to be widely recognized by countless hunters in a big city like Minagard, the craftsmanship of the workshop owner is absolutely top-notch.
The hook blade that was deformed and malfunctioned seemed to have been removed and re-forged, and there was no trace of bending anymore.
The extra 300 gold maintenance fee is well worth it. The mechanism inside the blade has been re-oiled, the blade is smoother when it pops out and is inserted into the chamber, and the metal friction sound is also much smaller.
The blood stains hidden in the small gaps on the blade have been cleaned up, the blade has been re-polished, and a thick layer of knife oil has been applied. The whole knife looks cold and shiny, no different from a new one.
Before leaving, the workshop owner, who was about to take a rest, suddenly stopped Gordon.
This old dragon man who seems to have a cold personality but is actually cold on the outside and hot on the inside crossed his arms and asked: "Boy, do you know the strengthening route of the blasting knife?"
Gordon was slightly startled when he heard this, but he still answered truthfully: "It says that it can be strengthened into the 'Explosive Knife Kai'. It seems that it requires chanchite and a high-grade ore called pylonite, right?"
The old dragon man threw a piece of tobacco into his mouth, chewed it, and said vaguely: "Yes, I heard that girl Fan Ti gave you half a star? She is very optimistic about you. As long as you make good use of this opportunity, participate more After a few three-star missions, your strength will improve quickly, and it probably won't be too long before you are truly promoted to a three-star hunter.
At that time, although the blasting knife is not outdated, it is still a bit, well, not good enough. I suggest you consider weapon enhancement as soon as possible.
The Exploding Knife is a good weapon. It weighs a little more than the Exploding Knife, but its sharpness and power are also greatly improved. It is stable for hunting flying dragons. "
Hearing the words of the workshop boss made Gordon a little excited. His strength has improved a lot in the past year, and the weight gain of Exploding Knife Kai is nothing to him.
“Actually, in addition to ‘modification’, the Exploding Knife has another branch, did you know?”
The workshop owner’s words made Gordon startled again, and then he shook his head.
He really doesn’t know this.
“There is a kind of flying dragon called the ‘Strange Dragon’. Using its materials, the Explosive Knife can be strengthened into the ‘Electric Dragon Chainsaw’, which is a big sword with thunder attributes.”
Gordon's eyes lit up when he heard this. Was he so close to the attribute weapon?
The experienced workshop owner immediately saw through Gordon's thoughts. He snorted coldly and said, "I knew that when you brats heard about 'property weapons', your soul would wander.
Boy, remember, don’t enhance the Explosive Knife into an Electric Dragon Chainsaw, it won’t do you any good. "
"ah?"
"Leaving aside attributes, the attack power of the Electric Dragon Chainsaw is at least 20% lower than that of the Explosive Knife Kai, and its cutting power can only be said to be average. As for the so-called attribute attacks, no one has told you that the big sword is not suitable for walking. The number of attribute attacks?"
Gordon blinked. Senior Yamos had really said something similar before - the attack frequency of the big sword was slow, and compared with the likes of double swords, the former had no advantage in attribute attacks.
"Strange dragons are at the bottom of the flying dragon species. Sometimes you can see them in three-star missions. Don't get some materials and just stupidly turn the explosive knife into an electric dragon chainsaw. , it will be too late to regret by then.”
Gordon nodded quickly.
Listen to people's advice, it's better to wait a little bit for the time being to have enough food and attribute weapons.
“Before I was promoted to a higher position, the only attribute sword worth using was the Fire Dragon derivative type. Hey, why am I telling you this?”
Seeing Gordon acting well-behaved, the boss of the workshop also became nagging, "Anyway, when you reach the three-star hunter stage, you will go to Latio volcano, get some pylonite, and change the explosive knife." come out.
It’s not a bad idea to go to the volcano just for this weapon, do you understand? "
Gordon nodded seriously again.
Having satisfied his desire to preach, the old dragon man patted Gordon's thick arm and signaled with a smile that he could get out of here.
After thanking him respectfully, Gordon left with the blasting knife on his back. On the way back to the assembly hall, he kept thinking in his mind.
When she travels, she is not like Hayata, who has a master by her side to guide her not to go astray.
Martial arts can be honed hard, hunting experience can be accumulated by oneself, but when it comes to the choice of armor and weapons, if you don’t know, you just don’t know.
Just like the electric dragon chainsaw the workshop owner said.
Stepping into this trap will waste not only money and materials, but also a lot of time in re-collecting materials.
It's better to find a way to build a good relationship with the workshop owner. When it comes to familiarity with armor and weapons, there is probably no one in the entire Minagard City who can match this old man.
As long as he is willing to mention a few words like today, he can avoid countless detours.
.
ˆ p.s. Although most readers may not care about it, I still want to mention it here.
Why the protagonist has to go to the Latio volcano (lava canyon) thousands of kilometers away for mining instead of the closer Old Volcano? It’s because the Old Volcano is too close to the ruins of Xiuret City. Considering the particularity of the ancient city, the Old Volcano This map will be sealed for now.
