NOVEL NEXT Chapter 100: The Old Thief
The day and night of the Red Mouth dungeon are two different difficulties.
It is not that the night will enhance the strength of the Red Mouth monster, but because of the appearance of [Level 25 Lantern Red Mouth].
It is similar to the big halo auxiliary, and can cause ranged continuous damage when protected by companions.
After Zhou Yuan found that there were Lantern Red Mouths in the surrounding mountains and fields, he gave up the plan to continue the strategy and directly killed a Four-sided Red Mouth, triggering the exit condition.
What he didn't expect was that after killing the Four-sided Red Mouth, he did not directly exit the dungeon.
Instead, the Four-sided Red Mouth broke away from the rocks and cracked, revealing a huge hole with a constantly rotating black and red portal inside.
In addition, the Four-sided Red Mouth also exploded a Red Flame Stone, which can amplify the flame when forging weapons.
In view of this, Zhou Yuan killed all five nearby Four-sided Red Mouths and harvested five Red Flame Stones before exiting the dungeon.
Bang.
Since the dungeon exit is at the top of the back door of the guild hall, Zhou Yuan naturally slid down when exiting the dungeon.
At this point, he suddenly landed in front of two unsuspecting guards, causing them to stare at him.
Zhou Yuan had the "Skin of the God of the Market" on him, and he looked like a kind old man, so he was not afraid of being exposed.
The two guards looked at each other first, and then shouted excitedly.
"You old thing are so bold that you even stole things in the official residence.
You dare not climb over the wall, but climb up the door and jump in front of us brothers.
I think you don't take us two guards seriously. It's too humiliating. Don't leave. Let me see how capable you are."
"I just got the red mouth with the top of the Xinyuan list today, and I didn't expect good luck to come this time.
Brother Yu, you left and I right, take this old thing and get the reward for merit."
For the two guards who rushed up, Zhou Yuan controlled his strength and kicked each of them, knocking them to the ground.
"The old thief is fierce. Brother Yu, please ring the gong to wake him up and let the generals from all states come out to deal with him."
When the clang clang clang gong sounded, Zhou Yuan had already disappeared into the streets and took off the "skin of the god of the streets" and put on the prop [Painted Skin Rogue].
Since it was still during the New Year's Day, there was no curfew in the capital, and pedestrians and vendors would come and go in the streets from time to time.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan only walked two streets and disappeared into the crowd of night walkers.
When he had breakfast the next day and returned to his original appearance, he found that the two soldiers on duty last night had not gone back to rest, but instead switched to guard the main gate.
"Hey, Captain Zhou is back, go back to your room and see if you have lost anything."
"You don't know, a veteran thief broke into the hall last night.
That guy quietly climbed onto the roof of the back door, and jumped down openly, kicking each of us brothers."
"It's so hateful, only he ran fast, otherwise the soldiers in our hall would attack together and cut him into pieces."
The military officer of the hall knew that ordinary soldiers could not defend against warriors, so he symbolically punished the two of them by not allowing them to rest and continue to guard the main gate.
Therefore, when the two of them saw someone they could talk to, they couldn't help but confide a few words.
Zhou Yuan, the instigator, could only comfort them with a few words and said that he would patrol at night in the next few days to prevent the thieves from coming again.
Back in the room, he first counted the property, and after making enough gestures, he informed the military officer of the hall that no property had been lost.
At this point, the incident of the old thief entering the hall was gradually calmed down.
But although this matter is small, it involves candidates from various states, and the court still has to express its attitude.
At noon, a military officer from the School Affairs Office came to explain that it was the work of spies from other countries, and asked everyone not to put important documents in the guild hall.
After the military officer from the School Affairs Office left, the Generals' Guild Hall was completely quiet and returned to its previous holiday leisure state.
However, Zhou Yuan, the top of the Xinyuan list, could not be idle anyway. Just after lunch, he was surrounded by six failed archers.
"Captain Zhou, our archery skills are not good, and we failed in the spiritual test. In order not to repeat the same mistake, I would like to ask the captain to guide us in archery.
I wonder if the captain is free today. If he is free, we will definitely repay him."
Regardless of whether to repay or not, Zhou Yuan, the top of the list, needs to show some moral gratitude to the failed archers of the same class.
Therefore, he agreed and prepared to instruct the failed archers.
Unexpectedly, they really kept their word and gave Zhou Yuan a handwritten copy of [Rapid Archery].
Simple guidance seems a little insufficient when it comes to a set of archery.
For this reason, Zhou Yuan also explained his own continuous archery, so that everyone can gain something.
However, few people may be able to learn his archery. After all, this thing is not a normal martial art that can be understood, but the accumulation effect of archery skills reaching the maximum level.
This kind of accumulation is not suitable for warriors who have multiple martial arts choices, but more suitable for ascetics who have no martial arts practice.
Fortunately, this path is right. Zhou Yuan's explanation made the unsuccessful archers understand their shortcomings and find new directions for adjustment.
Therefore, they were very satisfied with Zhou Yuan's guidance. When they were about to leave, they thanked him and said that they benefited a lot.
After they left, Zhou Yuan was free and had time to buy some things he needed.
Because it was difficult to explain the things he needed to buy, he chose to put on the [Painted Skin Rogue] props and go to the Lingzhenfang in the West City.
Lingzhenfang is not a store, but a market with many stores gathered.
Zhou Yuan's corpse refining plan is now lacking a kind of evil spirit. He doesn't know when he will encounter similar evil spirits, so he chooses to go to Lingzhenfang to find and buy.
As a trading place for spiritual treasures in the capital of the Wei Dynasty, Lingzhen Square has a complete range of items.
As soon as Zhou Yuan, the swordsman disguised as a "painted-skin scoundrel", entered a shop called Ruyige, a waiter quickly greeted him.
"What does the distinguished guest need? If you don't know its name, you can also roughly describe its effects."
"I'm going to buy a copy of Evil Spirit. I wonder if your store has it."
"What did the distinguished guest say? Evil spirits are not uncommon, and they are naturally present in our store.
However, there are many types of evil spirits. We only have some ordinary evil spirits, but there are no precious health-nurturing evil spirits. "
Knowing that Zhou Yuan needed to complain about the evil spirit of death, the waiter led him into a private room and asked the warrior in charge of evil spirit treasures to entertain him.
After the two handed over, the warrior Chaofeng immediately opened the cupboard and selected three thumb vials for Zhou Yuan to check.
These are obviously very small trial sizes, but they are enough for selection.
"Dear guest, please take a look. This is the written record of these three evil spirits."
Zhou Yuan first took the document and looked at it carefully, then opened the three thumb vials in order to verify the actual objects.
[Black Corpse Evil], [Dead Evil], [Grudge Evil]
Through the name information, he simply determined the type he needed and asked.
"What's the price of this evil?"
"The distinguished guest has chosen Yin Death Evil, and requires seven bottles of Qi replenishing spiritual objects, or other treasures of equal value."
"It's expensive. This thing exists in a special environment in the secret territory, so the output must be quite large."
"What your distinguished guest said is absolutely true, but where the secret place is, you don't know and I don't know.
Even though it produces a lot, it is still worth the money for those who need it.
In addition, the original price of this evil spirit is six bottles of energy-replenishing spiritual substance. Seven bottles are collected because a small amount of each bottle is required to verify the authenticity. "
