The Dwarf Caravan

On the sixth day, Qin Muye, who had been in the mage tower for two days, followed demon blood spirit to fight monsters.

This time, 10 spirits were brought out to protect Qin Muye.

These spirits have enjoyed the attribute bonus of demon blood spirit.

Level 3 demon blood spirit with various equipment, has attack power of 22, defense power of 18, so spirit monster with 10% attribute bonus will have 2 points of attack and 2 points of defense, if there is any danger, they can also give him enough to escape.

Moreover, this 2 points of attack power doesn't include the blessings of Demon Blood spirit's intermediate offensive skills and primary tactics. At least for first-order monsters, as long as they are not elite, they can fight a wave.

However, he didn't expect these monsters to fight. It's enough to leave demon blood spirit to kill monsters. The level 3 demon blood is stronger than when it was the champion level.

In particular, there was an additional skill gained last night, but this skill is a bit weird. It is not something that could be shared with units such as offense and tactics, but an active skill similar to magic.

[Blood Rage: Reduces HP by 1% per minute after activation, increases ATK by 2% for 15 minutes]

This ability is the ability of the Berserker, which is just matched with the bloody battle, so that 1% of the health value can be exchanged for 3% of the attack power.

In this regard, Qin Muye also understands that for the skills of transfer certificates which were learned by demon blood spirit, can also learned by himself, but with his attack power of 0 points, not to mention 2%, even 200% increase will still be 0.

This skill is also suitable demon blood spirit, as long as he equips it with a healing treasure, it will greatly increase its strength.

From the current point of view, whether it is bloody fighting or bloody madness, it is all about using blood for attacks. Unfortunately, there is an upper limit, which is 300%.

So in general, it is probably best to ensure that the attack bonus is of about 150%, and reserve 50% of the health value.

Now Qin Muye has not allowed the demon blood spirit to activate his skill as there is no enemy that cannot be defeated. If he really wants to open it permanently, he has to find a treasure that can restore HP.

However, such treasures are not easy to find. Most of the treasures obtained now actually increase the attack power and defense power, and even the knowledge and magic value are relatively small.

[A crushing victory, you gain experience 82.5]

[You searched and got it]

[…]

Demon blood spirit slaughtered 10 kobolds, because the experience is divided equally between him and demon blood, so he got 50 experience points and demon blood spirit 50 points of experience, but due to his intermediate enlightenment and learning ability, he gains an additional 32.5 points of experience. Along with the experience, it's just some basic resources, and no special resources.

This journey is actually quite boring. If it weren't for the upgrade needs of the territory, he didn't want to come out. Basically, it's almost like an outing.

"Master, there seems to be a caravan ahead?" Demon Blood Spirit said suddenly.

At this time, Qin Muye regained his energy and looked at it from a distance. It was true, but he was a little puzzled, wondering if it was just a projection, a clone, etc. like the tree of wisdom.

"Go get in touch." Qin Muye said immediately.

Although it is a bit dangerous to rush into a group of aboriginal people, it is also an opportunity.

[You encountered a caravan]

Following the prompt, Qin Muye saw the caravan, and the other party also seemed to know Qin Muye's arrival.

A dwarf narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Muye, then jumped out of the carriage.

"Let me see, a chosen lord, do you need anything?" the other party said immediately.

[Molik Bronzebeard]

[Profession:? ? ? ]

[Talent:? ? ? ]

[Attributes:? ? ? ]

[Skill:? ? ? ]

[Magic:? ? ? ]

The reconnaissance technique that caught Qin Muye's eyes was full of question marks.

Except for the name, he thought that he had to turn the temporary reconnaissance technique into a formal one as soon as possible and then upgrade it again, otherwise he would not be able to view anything even after the higher order.

Obviously, this dwarf named Molik Bronzebeard is stronger than him, reaching the second order.

"It's very impolite. As it is our first meeting, I forgive you for your rudeness." Molik said with dissatisfaction in his tone.

Qin Muye smiled, "I'm sorry, but this was the first time I met a dwarf, and it is also a hero."

This Molik, with his reconnaissance technique, he could only find his name, but the wisdom tree was like a stone at the beginning, and his reconnaissance technique could not get any information at all.

"Okay, Old Molik has to go to other places, this damn rule, see what you need, just prepare gold coins." Molik's tone softened a little, but not much, but some information about the aborigines was revealed.

Like being bound by rules.

"Do you have any architectural drawings of the monster spirit workshop, or any knowledge of spirit transformation or magic?" Qin Muye asked directly instead of looking at the so-called caravan interface.

This made Molik a little weird, but he said straightly: "1,000 gold coins for the architectural drawings of the monster spirit workshop, 5,000 gold coins for the architectural drawings of the monster spirit factory, and a copy of the spirit monster's magic manual."

"There is also a detailed explanation of the basics for the apprenticeship of the Elemental Mage, but this requires 10,000 gold coins, it contains all the basic magic, that is, all the first-order basic magic in the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind in your mouth."

"As for the more advanced ones, you can't afford them."

There was a hint of anger in Molik's tone, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Qin Muye's delay on his time.

"Okay, I want the blueprints of the spirit monster workshop and factory. As for the magic manual, I really can't afford it. I don't know when Mr.Molik will pass here again?" Qin Muye operated directly on the interface and paid 6,000 gold coins, he didn't expect the architectural drawings to be this expensive.

There were actually quite a few architectural drawings that made him covet, but unfortunately he couldn't afford them. His gold coins were only enough to buy these two blueprints.

[You spent 6000 gold coins to buy architectural drawings: Spirit Monster Workshop, Spirit Monster Factory]

[You have obtained the Advanced Spirit Monster Experiment Manual presented by Molik Bronzebeard]

[Advanced Spirit Monster Experiment Manual]

[Research requirements: tier 2 territory, magic guild/mage tower and other related buildings]

[After using it, you will get three research technologies: spirit skill: luck, spirit skill: intelligence, spirit skill: magic defense]

"Next time? If you don't bind me with these damn rules, I'll be back in about a month." Molik said cursing, but truthfully.

"If that's the case, then I look forward to seeing Mr.Molik again." Qin Muye pushed aside and closed the shop interface.

"If there is a tavern or a market in your territory, I'd be happy to do business with you. I hope you've finished building it when I come back." Molik left without looking back, feeling very unlucky.
