Due to last night, the monsters in the Whispering Forest are still in a state of panic. Even the most common goblin footprints on the road have disappeared without a trace. The forest is even more terrifyingly quiet, except for the occasional bird call.
, nothing else.
The Furious Winter Merchant Group also marched in silence in full compliance with Commander Cecil's orders. Their mission today was to leave the Whispering Forest before the next morning, arrive at the Golden Valley, and then set up camp there. At that time
Only then can you rest on the spot.
But these have nothing to do with Woody. What he is observing more now is the lines of data that pop up in his retinas after he leaves the territory of Green Creek Town.
The battle has been settled.
"The battle is over."
"After a night of high-intensity fighting, your various skills have been improved to a certain extent."
"Swordsmanship +2, Dodge +2, Stealth +3, Movement +4."
…
It’s not a very rich set of values, but there are only two real battles with Woody. One is with the flying ape, which is a crushing game and has no empirical significance. The only one that can be called high-intensity is with the abyssal ape.
The battle with demons was passionate and hearty enough, but Woody still hopes to encounter less of this kind of thing. After all, demons and demons, these things don’t give much, and their bones are hard. In addition to those that can promote the same kind,
Except for the soul, most of the things in the summoned demon are far from its challenge level.
You know, even the kobold camp has a few pieces of kobold gold and broken agate that are not of high purity.
But fortunately, the harvest last night was much more than that.
In addition to the 3200 experience points that have been met for upgrading, the four items, except for the goblin's pistol, which is used to make up the numbers, can be regarded as rare items that he could only come across at this stage.
Not to mention the ancient weapons given to him by the Star Princess Lani, the tactical goggles harvested from the goblins are enough to make his battle tonight not in vain, not to mention that there is also one that can solve the spider divinity on the nature shrine.
Soul Crystal.
But having said that, he just tried the virtue ring that Lani gave him while there was no one in the carriage, and tried the weapon forged in his mind with faith, but the result was not satisfactory. I don’t know if it was because he did not complete the basic test.
Due to the refining process, the process of forging weapons of faith is not only slow, but also has limitations.
For example, it cannot create standard weapons beyond conventional standards. The electromagnetic pulse rifle he imagined in his mind when serving in the interstellar battle group. Even though he knows every part of the rifle very clearly, it is still difficult to reproduce it. It has not yet been
After completing one-fifth of it, the gun body made of faith collapsed.
Moreover, when the weapon disintegrated, the impact on the human body was not small. He just felt clearly depressed and lost his mind for a moment.
Feeling his own condition, Woody gritted his teeth and decided to try again, this time to see how the cold weapon would fare.
With the previous experience, Woody seemed to be more familiar with it. He didn't even need to touch this exquisite gemstone ring. The finger with the ring was slightly raised, and the thought came to him. This princess of the stars gave it to him, a ring called Virtue.
It began to emit a thick white fluorescent color visible to the naked eye, like ripples on the water, quickly distorting the outline of a weapon in the air.
But the next moment, for some unknown reason, it stopped here. No matter how Woody tried to shape it, he could never shape this weapon into the appearance of the legendary long sword "Conqueror's Lament" that he remembered.
It seems there are other restrictions.
Woody's mind suddenly turned, and he saw that the power of faith provided by the ring could not shape the long sword in his imagination. Before it collapsed, he converted it again. This time his target was his most commonly used curved sword, which looked the same as in his hand.
The extraordinary curved sword is exactly the same, but the length has been slightly adjusted. Compared to curved swords of the same length, Woody still prefers one long and one short, so that he can fight as he pleases with ease.
Of course, this is also his personal habit. As far as he knows, there are many legendary warriors who love to use giant swords the size of door panels as dual-wielding weapons. The terrifying lethality is combined with the warrior's skills to whirlwind and slash, let alone the giant dragon.
Its scales can be cut directly through even two-meter-thick granite. Many players jokingly call this type of warrior a specialized "golem-fighting Noble Phantasm."
In front of his field of vision, the glistening white light that was about to take shape had collapsed and reshaped like a sand tower under Woody's will, and soon transformed into the shape of the curved sword he was most familiar with, with a thick back, a thin blade, and a long and slender blade.
It is curved and has an extremely sharp edge. If it were not for the essential difference in color from that extraordinary curved sword, it would easily be mistaken for a weapon of the same standard.
It seems that I can only imitate the weapons that are available now, or that I have personally touched them?
It seems that I still need to experiment.
The thoughts in Woody's mind shuttled around like fishes, and thoughts kept emerging one by one like bubbles. The weapon made of faith in front of him instantly collapsed again, like a shape-shifter, rapidly changing in the hazy smoke and dust, sometimes
Knives, sometimes wooden sticks, sometimes long swords, sometimes daggers, and finally, a glistening white stream of light shot into a golden stream of light outside the carriage, transforming into a spring wheel gun that he was very familiar with, but it was originally mahogany color.
The butt of the gun is now almost the same color as the barrel.
Can this also be converted? Can it be fired?
The shape of the spring gun surprised Woody a little, because he originally just wanted to try it and had no hope at all. After all, the two weapons are not essentially the same kind. The difference between hot weapons and cold weapons is the same as that of dragons and cold weapons.
The reproduction of different races is the same. Although they are essentially half-dragons, can the dragon-veined creatures produced by drow and illithids be the same?
He tentatively used his finger to pull the trigger of the weapon of faith. He only heard a crisp click sound, and aimed at the muzzle outside the window, a white electric light spurted out. It was accurate and efficient at a speed that was unfathomable to the naked eye.
It hit a big tree in the forest ten meters away. The big tree, which was enough for three people to surround it, immediately made a dull low sound, and at the same time sawdust flew. Soon, a hollow cavity the size of a bowl appeared.
In Woody's field of vision, it was obvious that the shot just now penetrated the tree directly. If it were narrower, it might be able to interrupt it directly.
But the aftereffects of this shot were also extremely strong. The originally solid gun of faith had become somewhat transparent due to the previous firing, like milk mixed with water. It had become thin and difficult to sustain for several times.
It is estimated that the burst can only be fired three times at most.
But this discovery is enough to make Woody overjoyed. After all, this is only the early stage. This ancient weapon called Virtue has not been completely lifted. If it is lifted, how much power will it increase by then?
Moreover, the spring wheel gun is the earliest invention of goblin technology. If this can be imitated, it also means that other weapons can also be shaped. When Woody thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the group of people he saw in his previous life.
The green-skinned man was dumbfounded by the black technology.
What kind of goblin rocket launcher, goblin Kaboo machine gun, goblin happy cannon...
For a moment, all the messy pictures were crowded into his mind, so much so that he briefly imagined the scene when he started to sweep away the group of abyssal demons with the heavy firepower created by his faith.
Although in his previous life as a player, he had always maintained a close-combat attitude in pursuit of excitement, but as a soldier trained by an interstellar battle group, he still subconsciously felt that hot weapons were more effective than cold weapons when facing danger.
higher and safer.
The cannon in the sentence "The truth is always within the range of the cannon" is actually the same when converted to other thermal weapons.
But before Woody could continue to think about it, the sound of horse hooves was heard. It was the caravan guards who were attracted by the sound of shooting.
"The people inside come out...ah, it's..."
The guards' expressions were still a little wary at first, but after seeing the handsome black-haired face exposed at the window, they all calmed down and spoke in a friendly and respectful tone.
"Master Woody, what happened? Do you need my help with anything?"
Today's Woody's status in the business group is second only to Cecil and other leaders. Businessmen in other business groups also greet him with smiles when they see him. It is not that the guards are grateful for his action, but that
Not only did he save Captain Sengu, but he also helped His Highness Cecil. His performance in Green Creek Town was particularly outstanding. In addition, his own skills were not bad, so it was natural for him to be respected.
After all, the strong can have a place no matter where they are.
"Nothing's wrong. I just experimented with a new spell and disturbed you. I'm sorry."
Woody explained with a smile that as long as someone paid attention just now, they would naturally know that the sound came from this carriage, which is why these guards came to ask him immediately.
Of course the guards wouldn't ask any questions after hearing the explanation. After knowing that Woody made the noise, let alone him hitting the tree, even if he dismantled the carriage, they would just pretend they didn't see it and even help him.
dismantle.
After all, His Highness Cecil emphasized the status of this black-haired young man.
Although many guards said that His Highness was attracted to him, no one said that he was a pretty boy or looked down upon him. After all, they understood in their hearts.
Essentially, he is stronger than most people in the business group.
In the North, or the entire Asenland and even the multiverse, strength is the best way to gain respect without any consequences.
At that time, the scene of him fighting the abyssal ape demon alone was seen by more than one person. The terrifying pressure was frightening just thinking about it, let alone facing it in person and killing it with a sword.
Died.
After the guards left, Woody also stopped trying to get the virtue ring. The faith consumed by the shot just now was not low. He wanted to see how long it would take to recover. This was different from the previous one that collapsed. The former only had a mental effect.
There is some influence, but the latter comes from the source.
Just like water scooped out of a pool and water that has been muddied, although both have an impact on the pool, they are essentially different.
And this time, if the recovery time is short.
Then it is enough to become one's trump card, or a trump card against some more flexible enemies, especially in this plane that essentially jumps back and forth between the Middle Ages and the Steam Age. In the shadow of the caster, they are more afraid of the magic wand released.
Spells, rather than an inconspicuous mechanical creation, that's when they will probably truly feel that sentence.
Sir, times have changed.
…
I don't know when, it started raining outside the carriage window, and the rain hit the countless leaves in the forest, making a splashing sound, which was particularly spectacular.
Woody, who was wiping sword oil on his weapon in the carriage, stopped what he was doing and frowned slightly, because the rain meant that the speed of the caravan would be reduced, and it would be affected by the rain in the next few days.
The rain in November was extremely cold. Before the rain got heavier, there were already many coachmen outside braving the light rain to feed their horses. Some pharmacists developed medicines specially used to protect livestock from the cold, and there were also many merchants.
The team members are checking the stability of the originally reinforced tarpaulin.
After all, the road ahead will definitely become very bad due to the rain.
As expected, half an hour later, three carriages carrying goods got stuck in the mud. Woody got out of the car to help once. After all, a carriage weighing more than a thousand kilograms and the muddy ground would make it difficult for them to survive.
At 20 o'clock, you may not be able to pull out the fully loaded carriage alone.
This time everyone's forward speed will also be affected, but this still does not stop Cecil's determination to leave the Whispering Forest overnight.
After her order was issued, although some people felt sorry for the livestock, they still followed Cecil's order and marched forward in the rain honestly. The influence of the Thousand Towers Society in Navia is not inferior to that of some of the religions of the southern kingdoms. Their
The order is never questioned, after all, the power and mystery of the spell caster have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
But Woody understands why Cecil did this. The Whispering Forest is located on the edge of the west coast, with low terrain and abundant rainfall. Before Palermo was established, large swamps and lakes were formed, which was usually fine.
, but if it rains, this dense water network will easily connect with each other due to the sudden increase in water levels, and then form the famous forest flood. At that time, it will not be that simple to leave the Whispering Forest.
In this way, the Nudong Merchant Group walked dozens of miles with bumps and bumps along the way. Although it was slower than expected, they were able to leave the Whispering Forest and head to the Golden River Valley before noon the next day.
However, that night, under the bright magic lamp, the business group who had been traveling all day stopped, because the water in front of them originated from Kamala Mountain, the highest mountain near the Whispering Forest, leading to Green Creek Town.
The creek had already swelled to several times its previous size due to a day of rain. Someone had just tried it, and the deepest part could even cover a horse's head, not to mention the deBUFF that also has the property of rapids.
At this time, the rain... was still falling.

I'm glad to have saved a chapter. I'll see you at noon tomorrow.
