Chapter 49 The Frost Knight’s loot is really valuable
Ji Xun heard from the hunters that the nobles in the upper city were so rich that the salary of a casual guard was tens of thousands a month.
And there are hundreds of thousands of such elite guards in the Governor's Mansion.
You can imagine how wealthy the governor of the Cao family was.
So, the body should be very valuable...right?
Ji Xun walked all the way and saw that there were piles of skeletons in the passage and bone powder was everywhere on the ground.
Skeleton monsters are a very special kind of undead monster. As long as their heads are not completely shattered, they are still "alive" even if they are chopped in half.
At this moment, among the piles of bones in the corridor, there are many mutilated and severed hands, with short legs still crawling around.
Ji Xun looked at it and didn't feel panic at all, so he stepped on his bones and walked over.
As he walked, his eyes were carefully searching for something in the pile of corpses.
After walking a few corridors, Ji Xun suddenly stopped.
Because his eyes saw a metallic white color among the pile of bones.
That's a Frost Knight armor!
...
"I'm getting rich..."
Ji Xun's eyes immediately lit up as he looked at it.
As he expected, the group of people in the Governor's Mansion were busy running for their lives just now and had no time to collect the bodies of those who died in the battle.
Ji Xun walked over, opened the pile of skeletons, and saw a shriveled corpse.
The corpse was in a very strange state.
Although it had just died, it looked like a mummy with all its flesh and blood drained dry by some force.
Not even a single extraordinary characteristic remained.
If they hadn't known that the Frost Knight had just come in today, people would have thought that the corpse had been dead for many years.
Ji Xun looked at the traces of the battle around him and frowned: "There is no external injury. Then the [Secret Keeper]'s attack method is to ignore the physical and demon defense and directly devour the soul and flesh?"
"Hiss...it seems that this method is impossible to prevent."
He took a breath.
The Cao Family's Frost Knight is famous for its high-end armor, which has extremely high resistance to both physical and demon damage, and is basically harmless to bullets.
Ordinary small workshops simply cannot produce such fine armor.
Even for this basic soldier model, the reward price on the black market exceeds one million.
But now the armor on the mummy is well preserved, but the body has been drained.
This also proves that the attack method of the secret keeper is not a conventional physical and magical attack, but a mysterious method that is currently incomprehensible.
After Ji Xun examined the body and confirmed the cause of death, he didn't look at it any more.
After all, he had no intention of confronting an unkillable monster head-on. The method the monster used to kill was too important.
Anyway, you will die if you encounter it.
Instead of dwelling on a dilemma that cannot be changed, it is better to think of something happy.
Ji Xun optimistically took off the storage ring from the corpse's hand and muttered with a hint of anticipation: "Let me see if the guards at the Governor's Mansion are as rich as the legend says..."
After looking at it, I saw that there was half a square meter of space.
This space ring alone is worth a lot of money.
When Ji Xun saw what was in the ring, a hint of surprise appeared on his expression.
Frost Knights are all melee-type professions of the Order Path [6 of Spades - Punishment Iron Guard]. There are basically no messy things in the storage ring. They are basically various replenishing medicines.
These glass bottles also all have sterling silver nameplates "Produced by Alderaan Alchemy and Pharmaceutical Factory".
Potions are hard currency on the market at all times, especially the high-end products produced by these large alchemy factories. The potency is usually stronger than those sold on the black market in Innocence City, and the quality is more stable.
The corresponding price is also higher.
Just these medicines alone are roughly estimated to cost several hundred thousand.
"Tsk tsk...the guards at the Governor's Mansion are really rich."
Ji Xun sighed in his heart.
These high-end potions are rarely seen on the black market, and they are just right for him.
When exploring caves in the wild, medicine is the second life for hunters.
Looking again, there was a two-handed sword next to the body.
Ji Xun picked it up with great interest and tried it. It was very heavy, about thirty kilograms.
This sword is impossible for ordinary people to use.
【Frost Great Sword】
Quality:Silver
Detailed explanation: The exquisite knight's sword customized by the forge of Rox Blacksmith Workshop contains rich ice magic power; ice damage is 56%, sharpness 3. It comes with the skill [Frost Slash], which infuses magic power to slow down the target.
, stiff attack.
"Hiss... so sharp."
Ji Xun looked at the cold light on his toughness and sighed.
It is very rare for a two-handed sword to be so sharp.
And it comes with ice damage, which is no longer the category of ordinary iron weapons, it is already an enchanted weapon.
I guess...it can be sold for a very good price.
The sword is a good thing, but without a strength value above "10", the sword is completely cumbersome to use.
Ji Xun lost interest after trying it for a few times.
He took out two dark silver spell cards from the card slot of the corpse, held the six-pointed star on them and poured the spell power into them.
The blue light blooming from the card covered the big sword.
In the blink of an eye, the big sword was contained in the card and turned into a card with a two-dimensional pattern of a white big sword printed on it.
I have to say that the equipment storage card is not only magical, but also very easy to use.
Just like a special scabbard, you can easily put away this cold sword without any maintenance, and it can also keep it sharp at all times.
Easy to carry and easy to take out.
Ji Xun also used cards to put away the armor on the corpse.
He has no use for these things, but there are people who would dare to sell them on the black market.
If you really want to sell them all, you can almost get rich overnight.
It’s also enough for Ji Xun’s needs for a long time to come.
He could use the money to buy some high-end firearms, ammunition and mechanical equipment that he had liked but had no money to buy before, and some martial arts books. He could even go to the auction house to see if he could buy some expensive skill training cards.
Trophies of this value are rare.
In normal times, even if it was a Frost Knight who died in battle, these armors would definitely be recovered by other guards. Where would there be an opportunity for outsiders to pick up the corpses?
That is, in this maze.
Someone happened to want to ambush the Governor's group.
...
"The wealth of the aristocratic class is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people..."
Ji Xun picked up a corpse and was in a good mood.
This frost knight's equipment is a top-notch luxury item that many hunters can't afford in their lifetime.
This is just a guard.
The wealth that a true noble possesses is simply unimaginable.
It is said that the Cao family in Innocence City is only a branch of the Cao family in the Federation, and there are many such middle-class nobles in the Federation.
Ji Xun suppressed the emotions in his heart and carefully followed the corridor to look for it.
Thinking that the reorganization of the Frost Knight Legion in the Governor's Palace should leave more than one corpse.
Just keep walking and searching.
Ji Xun felt that he had carefully avoided almost all passages that he considered dangerous.
But fate often plays tricks on people like a clown, surprising or frightening people.
Before he found the second body, he heard the sound of fighting coming from the end of the corridor again.
Bang, bang, bang...
Ji Xun couldn't help but said in his heart: "Come again?"
But then I thought about it, this road was traveled by people from the Governor's Mansion before. Theoretically, that group of people shouldn't be back again.
Moreover, the sounds of the battle were not as exaggerated as before.
It should be everyone else who is lucky enough to survive.
I had the impression that there was no better hiding place for a long distance in the corridor behind him. Ji Xun didn't wander around, so he looked for a fork in the same spot and once again chose to lie down and pretend to be dead.
Not long after, a tide-like clicking sound was heard coming from the corridor, getting closer and closer.
The sound of leather boots in the corridor is easily distinguished from that of skeleton monsters.
There aren't many people, it seems like there are only two?
The two people who were chased by the monster were also very smart. They probably had the same idea as Ji Xun. If they ran along the passage that the group of people pushed through in the Governor's Mansion, they would encounter fewer monsters.
Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.
If there were just two of them, they probably wouldn't have offended the [Secret Keeper].
Otherwise he would have died long ago.
He looked over.
...
The two people who ran over in a hurry were both dressed in hunter attire, with gas masks covering their faces, and brown linen cloaks covering their bodies.
But the two of them were running ahead, and the army of skeletons behind them was chasing them more and more.
And it looked like one of them was seriously injured.
As he ran, he left a trail of blood behind him.
When Ji Xun saw this, he had no intention of meddling in other people's business.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the group of skeletons and saw no sign of the [Secret Keeper], so he calmly pretended to be dead.
At this time, the two of them happened to run to a T-intersection, and the movement attracted another monster from another corridor.
Like rivers converging, the skeleton monsters immediately formed an encirclement posture.
Seeing that he was about to be drowned by the tide of skeletons, one of the marauders shot out a few cards.
Those cards exploded in the air, and several zombies with terrifying faces were channeled.
As soon as a few zombies appear, the skeletons they attack will deal damage. They can be used as human shields, breathe fire, and spit corrosive acid... They also look very powerful.
Then, there was nothing more.
The skeleton monsters had absolute numerical suppression. Although the individual zombies were very powerful, they were instantly overwhelmed by the skeletons.
Ji Xun looked at it but wondered in his heart: "Mysterious sequence [Diamond 4 - Psychic]?"
This was his first time meeting a spell card master of this sequence.
...
"Psychic" is also a very popular profession among card spellers.
As long as they can find the corresponding devil contract and professional card, many hunters will choose to take this path.
Because this profession is really suitable for wild hunting.
This is a summoner profession.
Not only can zombies be summoned, but all kinds of aberrant monsters, monsters, evil spirits, and even disasters can be channeled.
As long as they can be contained and a psychic contract is signed, all monsters can theoretically become combat partners.
If you have a psychic to explore some dangerous places, you will be much less in danger.
But the shortcoming... is that the body is weak.
The psychic does not have the strong magic power protection of the pure magic spell master, nor does it have the physical strength of the melee profession.
But the psychic object is powerful enough, and its combat power is also impressive.
The only thing that wins is quantity.
The upper limit is very high.
Ji Xun had thought about this career route before. He was physically fine, and it was good to have a few summons.
Unexpectedly, I happened to see one right now, so I took a few more glances.
...
Both of them are not weak, and they seem to be official spell card masters.
He won't die for now, but that won't happen later.
Not to mention that if they keep running like this, there will be more and more skeletons.
The physical exertion alone can consume them alive.
And if you keep running like this, if you encounter a [Secret Keeper], you will probably burp on the spot.
"It's strange. He's not a field agent from Golden Oak, nor someone from the Governor's Mansion. Could it be the plunderers from before?"
Ji Xun looked at the two people's outfits and became more curious about their identities.
However, the next moment, the cloak of the man running in front was lifted a little by the strong wind, and suddenly a little of his flowing silver hair leaked out.
Ji Xun's eyes caught this point keenly, and his expression immediately became very subtle.
He had never seen anyone with silver hair.
If you just felt inexplicably familiar just now, then now you are sure that this is an old acquaintance.
Ji Xun was surprised: "Chujiu? Why is she in this maze?"
