Chapter 8: Get Ready

Chapter 8: Get ready for battle He

showed no joy on his face.

"These things of yours are more useful than a stick I picked up from the roadside."

Levi looked at the pile of junk on the ground with an embarrassed look on his face.

William could not argue for a moment, he just picked up a sword and waved it a few times, saying: "Well, sir, you see, they are at least useful, right?"

Levi was slightly surprised. What surprised him was not that William was thick-skinned, but that his sword moves seemed to be quite methodical and had some substance.

“You’ll definitely need it.”

"Are you so sure?"

"This is the intuition of a retail merchant, sir." William smiled ingratiatingly.

Interesting, there are indeed some magical people in this world.

Just like a wizard.

It's not just those five wizards who possess magical powers. There are still some talented people all over the world.

William's eyes blurred, and he saw a small piece of jewelry with a simple shape and exquisite workmanship appear out of thin air in Levi's hand.

This is the smallest piece of jewelry that can be picked out from the pile.

"I don't have any cash on me, how about paying with this?"

hiss--

William squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. It felt like this thing had an unusual origin.

"Will you sell it to me, sir? It will certainly be enough to exchange for these 'equipment'."

William carefully took the jewelry, took a look at it, and his pupils dilated slightly.

This is not just an ordinary work of art, it is an antique, and a very difficult to discover one.

Some big shots would be happy to pay for such rare old items.

It’s not a loss. Although the item is a bit small, there is still profit.

etc…

William suddenly stared at the little gadget in his hand for a long time.

This style?

If I read it correctly——

William suddenly raised his head and looked at Levi, always feeling that there was something special about this person.

He killed those things!!

This was snatched from that thing!

——A corpse demon, and an elite among them!

Damn, that thing is not something that ordinary people can touch.

Moreover, this old man doesn't look like he's been poisoned or cursed, which means that it might not be difficult for him to deal with the corpse monster.

The expression on William's face was a little stiff. Oh no, he met someone he couldn't deal with.

Levi didn't pay attention to William's little action, but just looked at William's reaction. He knew that the little gadget he took out should be valuable. At least it would be enough to exchange for the mountain of "equipment".

He continued to demand: "Pack these things for me."

The packed items can be counted as just one item, which can save some space.

William, who suddenly became a little dazed, nodded repeatedly, then went to get the rope and began to sort and tie up the rags.

After a long time, looking at the whole row of "packed junk" in the backpack, Levi nodded with satisfaction.

William was not curious about where the junk he had just packed had gone.

It is not normal for someone who can kill a witchcraft creature like a corpse to have some magical means.

After collecting all the necessary things here, Levi planned to say goodbye and find a place to synthesize the anti-smelting furnace.

The crafting of the anti-smelting furnace requires an iron ingot, but there is no iron itself.

But it doesn't matter, you can use the furnace to burn some out first, and then synthesize the anti-smelting furnace.

The loss of equipment in a furnace is ridiculously high. If you throw an iron sword in, only an iron nugget will be left after it is burned.

However, using an anti-smelting furnace can produce 1-2 iron ingots.

Levi was originally prepared to throw a pile of junk into the furnace to burn out some iron, but who knew that collecting junk could actually unlock the "anti-smelting furnace".

What a surprise, this is a surprise.

Levi was about to leave when William stopped him.

"Wait a moment, sir."

William walked quickly forward and took out a long object wrapped in cloth from his waist.

"This is for you."

Levi took it, unwrapped the cloth, and saw what was inside. He immediately became interested.

[Iron Dagger·Attack +3, Attack Speed ​​+50%]

"Special entry: Sharp, attack power +1."

[Unlocked synthesis formula: Dagger (type)]

"How much."

If there was something good, Levi would naturally plan to buy it directly.

"No money."

"oh?"

William said seriously: "I hope this can serve as a testimony to our friendship."

"You want to be friends with me?" Levi asked playfully.

"Yes."

Levi did not answer, but just said: "This dagger is good, I accept it."

His friendship is not cheap.

At most, he would help out a little in the future because this guy helped him unlock an entry.

William was not annoyed, he just smiled.

A scrap dealer may not have money, but he must have good eyesight.

Even if you can't make friends with such people, it's good to get to know them.

We did not stay in Bree for long.

After returning to the inn and replenishing a large amount of food, Levi continued his journey eastward.

Levi, wearing ordinary cloth clothes and without any weapons to protect himself, walked out of the east gate.

As soon as I walked out of the door, several big men with beards and scruffy faces gathered in the alley beside the door.

They looked at each other and knew clearly what to do next.

Fat sheep.

Pop.

A hand was placed on one of their shoulders.

The big man was not panicked, he just turned around and looked at the person in the shadow: "William? Why, you want to come too?"

"No, I'm just here to tell you that it's best not to do anything to him. He's not an ordinary character."

Several people seemed to be thinking about something.

As old villains who have survived to this day, they all have their own way of survival.

Several people dispersed and went home.

The odd-number merchant has never been a popular character.

They are not innocent.

…

After leaving Bree, Levi found a sparsely populated place. He took out the workbench and the furnace, and patiently burned the garbage until he collected nine iron nuggets and synthesized an iron ingot.

Then, the synthesis reverse smelting furnace.

Throw in charcoal and garbage and keep burning.

When the first piece of tattered armor was directly smelted into three iron ingots, Levi knew that he would not be too short of iron in the future.

Three more anti-smelting furnaces were built.

Half a day had passed by the time all the bundles of rags in the backpack were burned.

Levi looked at the 13 iron blocks in his backpack and felt satisfied.

He immediately made a set of iron armor, a set of iron tools, and a wooden shield.

Then he looked at the newly unlocked dagger recipe. A wooden stick plus an iron ingot can be synthesized into an iron dagger.

The new dagger still has three attack damage and an attack speed +50%, but it no longer has the sharpness attribute.

But it doesn't matter.

I'll make an enchantment table when I get a chance in the future and make a sharp and fragrant one.

I just don't know if enchantments and special entries can be stacked. If they can, I'll have to study the entries carefully...

After putting on the iron suit, Levi only felt that there seemed to be a little more burden on his body, but it had no effect on his actions and movement speed.

Obtained the achievement [Ready to Fight].

The appearance of the iron suit only gives people one feeling, that is, white, silver, and smooth. Different from the square frames shown in the game, the iron armor looks beautiful and is much more protective.

The iron sword in his hand is made of the same mold as the stone sword and wooden sword. It looks slender, solid, and sharp.

Hold a large wooden shield in your left hand.

Full of security.

But you don’t have to wear it normally to avoid scaring people. Just put it in the backpack when not in use. It will be convenient when you need it. Anyway, the equipment synthesized on the workbench can be put on in an instant, so there is no need to worry about being too late.

After making all preparations, Levi hid all traces of his activities here and continued on his way.

One day later.

After leaving the Forgotten Inn, the last settlement on the edge of the wilderness, and walking for a while, Levi stood at the border of Bree and looked around with emotion.

From here on, there is nothing but wilderness ahead, and you probably won't see anyone for a long time.

Except, some guys with ulterior motives.

"Come out."

Levi shouted.

No movement.

Levi was a little annoyed.

The sight is too obvious.

As early as when he went to William to buy something, he found someone peeping at him.

I thought they were just some local hooligans or thugs who were curious about outsiders so I looked at them a few more times, but I didn't pay much attention to them. However, all the way to the Forgotten Inn, the feeling of being watched had not disappeared.

After following him this far, it's more than just curiosity.

As expected, wealth should not be shown publicly.

Because they were still in the Bree area, a human settlement, they did not take any action.

Similarly, it was not easy for Levi to take action.

Now, beyond the border, there are no rules that apply here.

It's about time.

Brush.

The bushes rustled.
