Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 244



[Chapter 244 Closer Unity Around David]

Boom!

Bang Bang Bang!

Boom!

“Ah~~~”

David leaned against the stone wall of the cave, used the Holy Light to create a layer of “protective shield” on his ears to prevent himself from being affected by various terrifying noises, and quietly watched the performances of several women.

Speaking of which, David was not surprised that Eva had an outstanding performance. Even if she was a civilian officer, Eva was a soldier after all. She had received military training. After a period of adaptation, she quickly found the right rhythm.

The Garand rifle and the piano pistol were switched freely in her hands to ensure that the target could be eliminated at a safe distance.

So far, Eva has not used melee weapons – even if there is a problem occasionally, Eva, who has begun to learn Holy Light spells, can also use punishment to kill enemies that threaten her.

From Eva’s fighting style, David can be sure: Although Eva has a good physique and can easily move freely in a heavy armor, she probably can’t become a paladin.

Becoming a Holy Light Priest should be Eva’s best choice. In addition, her usual work is mostly staying in the rear. As long as she masters the various skills of the Holy Light Priest, she can protect herself well.

As for Helen, David felt that he might have underestimated this woman.

In the legend, Helen was like a beautiful ornament, being snatched away by people. Apart from her amazing beauty, she did not show any special talents.

But she was the princess of Sparta after all. From the fact that she determined her target and rushed forward firmly without considering the consequences, we can know what kind of character she is.

Therefore, when Helen held a sword in her right hand and a gun in her left hand, killing monsters in the evil cave, it was not surprising.

In comparison, Gwen’s performance was very consistent with her identity as an ordinary high school girl. When she was outside the camp, she could shoot relatively calmly because of the open terrain and few monsters. But after

arriving at the evil cave, her performance was… no performance at all.

Holding a gun and watching the excitement from the side was the best thing she could do, because once she panicked and fired randomly, it was very likely to accidentally hurt Helen who was rushing in front.

“I originally thought that Gwen was the most promising among the few people, but now it seems that this is not the case at all!”

Because Spider-Gwen has appeared in many parallel worlds of Marvel, David always felt that Gwen should have good potential and is worth cultivating.

Now it seems that he was thinking wrongly. Gwen does not seem to have any fighting talent. It can only be said that her mind is still clear and she knows that she should not make trouble in this situation.

But this won’t work! In addition to learning and understanding, the dungeon is already the simplest and brainless way to improve people’s quality.

If Gwen can’t improve here, then she can only hope that David will get some other strange props in the future to make her an extraordinary existence.

Just when David was about to point out and encourage Gwen personally, Laura had already made a move.

“Be confident, don’t worry about accidentally hurting Helen, Helen is wearing armor!”

“…”

Those who know are telling the truth, and those who don’t know think that Laura wants to take the opportunity to use Gwen’s hand to eliminate Helen!

“You can aim at those monsters on the periphery that are far enough away from Helen, especially those fallen demon wizards who hold magic wands and like to throw fireballs… Look, that guy.”

Bang!

Gunshots rang out, and the Fallen Wizard was still alive and kicking, throwing fireballs and resurrecting the fallen demons. Gwen didn’t know where the shot hit, but Laura still encouraged her: “Well done, don’t be nervous, they can’t threaten you, aim well… hold your breath… lock on the target… shoot!”

Bang!

The Fallen Wizard looked up and fell, and Gwen, who had accurately killed the target, also laughed. She glanced at Laura next to her, and then she felt that the scene was strange. If it was David who had just embraced her and taught her in a low voice, it would not be strange.

“Uh, cough!”

David coughed hard, and appeared beside Gwen at the right time, praising her performance. Looking at this ordinary high school girl, she gradually lost her nervousness and awkwardness, and gradually began to find the fun of this “game” – when Gwen kept feeling the improvement of her own quality, she also began to indulge in this monster-killing game.

In addition to the continuous successful kills, she accumulated some confidence and was no longer as timid as before.

Seeing that several people gradually found the correct rhythm of the battle, David no longer just watched the fun, and drew out his golden spear to join the battle.

As David and Laura began to take action, the monsters in the evil cave were quickly cleared out, and the originally gloomy and dark cave was no longer as dark as when they first came in. Everyone could clearly feel that their vision had expanded – it was not that everyone’s physical fitness had greatly improved, but that the dark power in the cave was gradually dissipating.

After the battle in the evil cave, apart from Helen and Eva, Gwen finally showed some combat talent: even in extremely chaotic situations, she was able to keep a relatively calm mind, carefully observe the surrounding environment, and avoid making wrong choices.

In addition, Gwen’s reaction is very good among ordinary people. Occasionally, when encountering some emergencies, she can also respond in time, and there is no need for David and Laura to act as a nanny to save her.

In this way, the efficiency of leveling and clearance of everyone naturally increased greatly. After completing the first task, they quickly completed the second task of eliminating the blood crow and the third task of rescuing Deckard Cain.

During this time, Helen, Gwen, and Eva were still responsible for clearing the monsters. David personally dealt with bosses like Blood Crow and Grace Walder.

To say that he personally dealt with them was just a headshot from a Holy Light Hunter and a chest shot from a Golden Spear. David didn’t have to put in any effort at all.

What made him very unhappy was that after three consecutive missions, he only got some junk equipment. There was no other use except to sell them for coins used in this world.

“Isn’t the equipment drop rate a bit wrong? Not to mention the gold equipment, I didn’t even see the blue equipment with attributes.”

After returning to the Rogue Camp again and selling all the odds and ends, David was a little suspicious whether this dungeon would not drop high-level equipment at all?

“Maybe high-level equipment is particularly rare?” Laura looked at the longbow in her hand. It was still a blank piece of equipment without any magic attributes, and it was completely incomparable to the bow she was using: “Or, high-level equipment will not drop in normal difficulty?”

“It seems that it is not impossible…”

Although at present, this world is basically the same as the game Diablo, it is not surprising that there are some differences. After all, there is no rule that the game settings must be copied completely.

“In that case, does the Horadric Cube also have three levels, high, medium and low?”

“It’s not impossible!”

David grinned speechlessly. When he decided to clear the normal difficulty, he wanted to get the Horadric Cube quickly. He felt that this thing would be of great help to him in using and practicing alchemy.

Now it seems that if you want to get the ‘real Horadric Cube’, you may have to wait until the Hell difficulty.

While the two were chatting, Helen, Gwen and Eva gathered together and talked about something. Then David noticed that several women walked into the corner. When they reappeared, their clothes had changed significantly.

Eva had taken off her heavy armor and changed into a lighter outfit; Helen put on full body armor, but her weapons did not change at all.

Gwen surprised David the most. Although she did not change her armor, she inserted a pair of short blades at her waist. Looking at her posture, did she want to try close combat?

“Continuous battles will change people’s mentality.” Laura looked at Gwen and was not surprised by her choice. She had experienced these things herself: “Gwen is a very strong girl. She will not be satisfied with hiding behind everyone forever.”

This is a good thing for Gwen. As long as she is willing to work hard, she can get more from Winter Town and David, not just a simple relationship with David.

“It’s also a good thing for you!” Laura glanced at David beside her. The more good things Gwen can get from Winter Town, the more she can’t leave David.

After all, at that time, it is no longer as simple as breaking up!

“Is this all in your calculation?”

“…” Laura looked up at the sky and pretended that she didn’t hear it.

Seeing that she was unwilling to say, David didn’t continue to ask. The temporary team composed of several people continued to set off for the next mission target.

According to David’s plan, he didn’t have to defeat Andariel today. His biggest goal today was to find the hammer of the blacksmith Chasi.

He remembered that after finding the blacksmith’s hammer, he could get a chance to enchant and strengthen the equipment. He wanted to see if this opportunity could be used on his own equipment? If successful, what kind of attributes can be obtained?

David soon got the answers to these questions. He used his own hunting bow to test it. Under the enchantment of Chasi, his hunting bow became a magical equipment and gained stronger attack power.

But that’s all…

“It’s really hard to get anything good under normal difficulty.”

David, unwilling to give up, finally went to kill Andariel again. This time, David deliberately let Gwen complete the final blow, wanting Gwen to “gain more experience.” Unexpectedly

, when Andariel, who was killed by Gwen, fell, a golden light flashed, and then a piece of black leather that looked ordinary but radiated golden light, just lay quietly on the ground.

“…”

Several women looked at David at the same time. They suddenly felt that the real reason why they didn’t drop anything after killing for a long time today was not the low equipment drop rate in this dungeon world…
