Fortunately, the Harper's side has very comprehensive information, and the drawings of the perforated stone pillars are directly available in the prestige store.
With 50,000 reputation and 30,000 gold coins, Sherlock gritted his teeth and bought it after thinking about the benefits of becoming a voter.
After giving so many thumbs up to the reputation, he originally saved it to exchange for the large piece of green dragon skin. Now that he had changed the blueprint, it would take a long time to save the rest of the reputation, so he simply exchanged it for a bottle of Skill Oblivion.
Potion.
After leaving the pharmacy, he hurried to the stone shop.
There is also a life occupation of stonemason in the game, but except for decoration or on rare occasions, it does not produce any benefits.
Therefore, players rarely learn this skill, and even if they do, it is just for fun.
It is definitely not possible for ordinary people to create something as exquisite as a perforated stone pillar. Bakola, the owner of the Bakola stone shop that Sherlock found, is the highest-ranking stonemason in Weplintala according to the data.
"If it is made according to the drawings, Bakola will take at least a year." Bakola, a barbarian, stared at the drawings for a long time before saying, "And that doesn't include the time needed to find stones."
"Why does it take so long? Is there any difficulty, or is your level not high enough?" Sherlock asked puzzledly. He couldn't wait for a year for a voter task.
Bang!
Hearing his question, the barbarian hit the ground with a hammer and shouted loudly: "There is no more powerful stonemason than Bakola in the entire Agolalon. If you don't believe in Bakola's ability,
Just don’t come to Bakola.”
Barbarians, a race with generally low emotional intelligence, have never had the concepts of customer first and hypocrisy. They will show it directly when they are angry.
Sherlock also realized that his tone was a bit anxious. For professional NPCs, it would be a great insult to question their professional abilities.
"Bakora, I believe in your ability, but I'm really anxious. Isn't there a faster way?" He explained immediately.
With the exception of humans and halflings, barbarians rarely question what other races say.
As soon as he said he believed in his ability, Bakola's mood immediately calmed down. After drinking two glasses of lava sally, his anger completely disappeared and he began to explain the difficulties of making stone pillars in earnest.
At this point, Sherlock realized that he had underestimated the difficulty of making this perforated stone pillar.
When Bakola said it took more than a year to complete, he only meant one piece, and even the simplest piece requires at least five musical scales, so that means at least five stone pillars are needed, which means it takes five years.
In five years, the game might have gone out of business. Why would he still need this thing? He could only continue to ask.
"Impossible, in the entire Desperate East Region, you can't find anyone who can build five of these things within half a year, unless you can get enough blueprints and then find several masons with similar strength to Bakola
Participate in its creation.”
This one drawing used up all his savings, but there were still enough drawings that Sherlock felt a sense of despair after hearing it.
"or……"
"Or something!"
"Maybe you can ask my teacher to help you." Bakola said his teacher with a face filled with respect.
"Didn't you just say that no one can do it?"
"My teacher is not a human being."
On the continent of Faerûn, in a broad sense, elves, dwarves, half-elves, and even orcs are actually within the category of human beings.
Bakola continued: "Bakola's teacher is a red copper dragon. They live in seclusion in the Dragon Jaw Mountains. Ten years ago, Bakola was accidentally buried under the stone when he went up the mountain to collect stone. He is the teacher.
Only by rescuing Bakola and teaching him special stone-shaping skills can Bakola achieve what he has achieved today."
Metal dragons are all from the good camp and have a very high reputation in Faerûn, especially the silver dragons.
Compared to their original appearance, silver dragons prefer the human body shape, and usually turn into fair-skinned girls.
They like human food and human lifestyle, and they even have a stronger impression of humans than their own kind.
Therefore, the story between silver dragons and humans has always been a favorite of troubadours, and many humans are proud of capturing the heart of a silver dragon girl.
In addition, the golden dragon's pursuit of justice, the bronze dragon's intolerance to kill and curiosity comparable to a cat, and the talkative brass dragon who will get angry if you don't chat with him. Metal dragons are a bunch of weirdos anyway.
As for copper dragons, they are representatives of wit and fun. Jokes, stories and puzzles are what they are eternally pursuing.
At the same time, they are also the ones who like to engage in some life occupations among all the dragons. Their long life and strong strength give them enough time and energy to study this profession carefully.
Therefore, all older copper dragons actually have good life skills.
If anyone can build seven perforated stone pillars in a short period of time, it must be the copper dragon.
"Bakora, can you introduce me to your teacher?" Sherlock said sincerely.
"Teachers don't like outsiders to disturb them. Even Bakola can only see them at the annual joke competition." Bakola said.
Well, a joke contest does seem like something a copper dragon can do.
"This year's competition is on the 18th in Japan and China. You can go with Bakola then. I can't guarantee whether the teacher will help you Bakola."
Japan and China are August 18th, 818. These copper dragons are quite knowledgeable.
The summer heat has just passed, and there are still less than four weeks until the competition date. At this time, he just happened to resurrect Lan first.
After taking out four more bottles of wine as thanks, Sherlock said goodbye to Bakola.
After going back and forth so many times, I finally implemented all these important things. The next step is to strengthen my own strength.
The first step is to use two bottles of skill forgetting potions.
Level 5 Magic Claw and Level 2 Provocation, these two skills can't even be called useless now.
The former has his mind and Yuhu Fist is naturally no longer needed.
For the latter, as long as he doesn't encounter a violent elemental spell like Dark Phoenix, he doesn't have to worry about hatred at all with his current output.
Including the plot evaluation reward and the 14 points returned from the previous configuration prophecy, he now has a total of 35 skill points.
35, which sounds like a lot, is actually not prohibited at all.
Natural Transformation, Tree Skin Technique, Swallow Return, Enhanced Swallow Return, Silent Step, Enhanced Silent Step, Wild Intuition, Primitive Senses, Beast Essence, Water Healing, these can be said to be must-orders.
Scimitar Mastery, Dual Weapon Mastery, Melt into Water, Strengthen Melt into Water, Listen, Spell Identification, Wood Escape, Wooden Stick Mastery, Oak Stick Technique, and Healing Technique are also points you can get.
