"What? Are you waiting for me in the competition hall?" Upon hearing this, D'Artagnan was immediately stunned, and then hurried away.
When they came to the stone hall, they saw Julob and Moriarty waiting, and on a shelf beside them hung the large, ultra-thick wrought copper armor.
However, compared with three days ago, the refurbished armor already exuded a new light and a more delicate and unique flavor, which firmly attracted d'Artagnan's eyes: the shiny yellow armor surface seemed to be shining with gold.
Bright; the newly repaired armor eaves and copper collar are perfect in every detail; the left and right shoulder armors are newly inlaid with spikes in the shape of imitation horns, bringing a full sense of violent beauty; and...
"Huh? What is this?"
Finally, when D'Artagnan's eyes came to the totem of the breastplate, he was surprised to find that not only had the original "corners of fire" been re-outlined and embedded with a layer of fluorescent red trim, but also on the "crossed corners"
There is a circle of simple but elegant cloud patterns around the "flame", and at the same time, there are delicate silver threads extending from the cloud patterns and reaching into the "corner of fire" in the center.
"This is?"
D'Artagnan pointed to the new cloud pattern on the large wrought copper armor and looked at the human mage questioningly. Although it didn't understand enchantment at all, it also guessed that the lace reflecting the dazzling silver light should not be just a pure decoration.
.
"Would you know if you try it on?"
Without waiting for Moriarty to reply, Jourop spoke directly. Immediately, d'Artagnan excitedly put on his armor.
"Try your 'Fire Horn Charge' again."
Looking at the young tauren behind the armor who couldn't hide his excitement, Moriarty pointed at another half-man-thick iron pillar ten meters away.
"good!"
D'Artagnan roared. The bull's eyes turned red, and the power of the totem immediately exploded, and a brown-red flame emerged again. Immediately, the flames penetrated into the breastplate totem, and the "Horn of Fire" became red and bright.
Then, through the connected silver threads, the surrounding cloud pattern also began to show a beautiful silvery red color.
"Sure enough, that is also a place of enchantment." Looking at the lit up cloud pattern, the Torch Prophet nodded repeatedly.
Then, Dartagnan's horns ignited fire, and the "Fire Horn Charge" was launched. He lowered his head and sprinted towards the target designated by the human mage.
"boom!"
There were still violent impacts and explosions. The iron pillar was completely bent. But at the same time, within a ten-meter radius directly in front of D'Artagnan's horns, a violently churning brown-red flame exploded.
It covers an entire space.
"this!?"
Looking at the sudden appearance of a large area of flames, the old tauren's expression finally changed. He was a knowledgeable person, so he naturally understood what the new enchantment effect was. It was actually the totem flame that triggered the original "Fire Horn Charge"
, causing it to explode in a range at the end, causing collective damage. This also means that "Fire Horn Charge" is suddenly changed from a single-target attack skill to a "single-target + group attack" comprehensive skill, which can be described as a qualitative change and leap.
"This...this..."
Seeing the flames exploding in front of him, Dartagnan was even more stunned. Although he had already imagined how the armor refurbished by human mages would be improved, it was only when he saw it with his own eyes and experienced it that he understood
The original guess was still superficial and pitifully thin. With such a super totem armor on his body, the young tauren can almost be used as half a close-range magic warrior, which can be said to be a great increase in strength.
"I named this bronze armor: 'Horn of Fire Cloud'. I think it will help d'Artagnan reach a higher level in his subsequent martial arts performances."
After demonstrating the new power of the armor, Moriarty smiled at the Torch Prophet.
In fact, the newly added silver moiré in that circle is a set of "energy shock and explosion" alchemical arrays. It is the latest research result of Hockenheim Institute in the past ten years, and it was also redeemed by Moriarty before.
What connects the outer moiré and the core totem array are slender but strong silver wires. These silver wires are combined to build another classic connection array, which is where Moriarty started from in his early years.
The "Bridge" found in this "Arcanist's Notebook". With the "Bridge" as a circulation channel, the huge power originally wasted by the "Fire Horn Charge" can be collected and reused by the "Moire Pattern", and then
It bursts out in a concentrated manner, forming a group attack effect of flame explosion.
"Master, thank you very much."
There was nothing more to say, and Zhu Luobu was extremely satisfied with the new "Fire Cloud Horn". Moreover, this was a completely unplanned "net profit" income, so the old tauren was naturally overjoyed.
At the same time, Dartagnan also ran back quickly to express his gratitude to the human mage.
Moriarty did not take credit for this, he just smiled and said that this was a normal friendship between friends. Hearing this, the old tauren also laughed heartily.
But at this moment, another tauren hurriedly walked into the hall.
"Master Prophet, the cavemen at the foot of the mountain have sent a warning message." The tauren said directly.
"Warning signal? What warning signal?" Zhu Luobu immediately put his smile away and asked in a deep voice.
"Half a day ago, some cave ogres attacked the caveman tribe, killed many people, and captured a group. The farmers suffered heavy losses, and that Tartar came to ask for help from us."
"Hmph, it's just a few ogres, they are really making a fuss out of a molehill." After hearing the report, the Torch Prophet snorted coldly, seeming a little dissatisfied with the "fuss" made by his family members.
Obviously, in the eyes of the old tauren, the death of some cavemen was nothing at all, just like wind and rain, and it was just and natural.
Seeing Julob's attitude, Moriarty gained an intuitive and profound understanding of the real relationship between the cavemen "Greyback Tribe" and Tao's "Furnace Tribe". It turns out that in the eyes of the tauren, the people under the hills
The cavemen probably have a humble status like semi-serfs. As long as there are not a large number of casualties, which will affect the wheat harvest and food supply in the coming year, the few cavemen are not even a topic of after-dinner chat for Niutou.
The wind blows through your ears.
"But according to that Tartar, there was a 'two-headed matriarch' among the group of attacking ogres." At this time, the tauren who came to report suddenly added.
"Oh? Two-headed cave ogre?"
Hearing this, Zurob and Moriarty were stunned almost at the same time. Finally, a serious look appeared on the old tauren's face.
Speaking of ogres, it can be said that they are a kind of savage species with extremely strong survivability. They are widely distributed throughout the Antagrich continent. However, most of the wild ogres are not intelligent enough.
It is wild and difficult to tame; it is also very gluttonous, and in extreme cases cannibalism will occur. Therefore, in the eyes of civilized races, this species is regarded as a beast rather than an equivalent intelligence. There are only a few cannibals.
Demons may have normal rationality and intelligence in a small probability, such as the ogre shaman Old Gordon who Moriarty once killed, is such a special case.
Compared with the innately deficient mind, the ogre's body is overdeveloped. Not only is it strong and powerful, but it also has an almost perverted recovery ability.
In many adventure stories, the protagonist clearly has the advantage, but finds that he cannot kill the ogre, and in turn is almost dragged to death. The reason is because of the opponent's incredibly powerful wound recovery speed. There is a famous joke.
It is: "You can only stab the ogre once, because when you take out the dagger and want to stab the second knife, the edge of the first knife has disappeared." Therefore, except for professionals above the intermediate level, ordinary people and low-level people
No level warrior can be the opponent of the ogre, but on the contrary, they will become the opponent's unpicky delicacies.
To deal with ogres, purely physical attacks are not the first choice. The reason is very clear, it is because this kind of monster is very durable and can be dealt with. But on the contrary, spells such as acid and fire have a very good damage effect on ogres.
, and can effectively restrain their regeneration and recovery capabilities. Therefore, almost all ogres, who are pure warriors, often suffer one-sided defeats when facing powerful enemies led by magicians.
But there is only one exception, and that is when a "two-headed matriarch" appears among the ogres.
Similar to the early biological social forms of most civilized species, the power structure of ogres is also matrilineal. In addition to males and children, every ogre family is led by a female ogre as the "parent".
Everything, but also has the only "legal" reproductive right.
Usually, the matriarch is stronger, crueler, and greedy than ordinary male ogres. But she is also a simple warrior. But when the matriarch breaks through the middle level and enters the high level, she will slowly grow longer on her shoulders.
A new head will be born. And the head will gradually become larger and mature as the matriarch's level increases. Until it enters the realm of the extreme, the new head will be as perfect as the original head, and
They will have unprecedented high wisdom and powerful magic-like abilities. Of course, in the high-level stage before advancing to the extreme realm, although the new head is still immature, it has already given the matriarch some wisdom and innate magic-like abilities. And this
The female ogre leader with such strength has become very terrifying, and even a mid-level magician may not be able to defeat it.
"Did Tatar say anything about the size of the 'two heads'?"
If it is a nearly mature "two-headed matriarch", it will be a sufficient threat to the Tauren tribe. Even if the Torch Prophet faces off, he may not be able to do well. Therefore, Zhu Luobu can no longer treat the opponent as nothing, but
Take it seriously.
"According to the cavemen, the matriarch's second head is almost half the size of the first, and her eyes have been opened," the minotaur said immediately.
"Open your eyes!?" Hearing this information, the old tauren couldn't help but be shocked, and his eyes finally showed a solemn look. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
