Chapter 67: Circlet of Wisdom
Doom's body has the dark brown thick hard skin common to ogres, and it also exudes a natural disgusting body odor. It is difficult for ordinary weapons to cause obvious damage.
When Brandon chopped it with the inferior dagger in his hand, he barely made a cut.
Fortunately, with the anger bonus power of [Heroic Strike], this attack still produced enough effect. Doom cried out in pain and tried to retaliate against the "little guy" who dared to hurt him.
After all, although Brandon is more than 1.9 meters tall, in the eyes of a guy like the ogre Doom who is nearly 3 meters tall, he is indeed a "little guy".
Brandon did not give Doom the opportunity to hurt himself. After hitting him with one blow, he retreated decisively and gave up the position he occupied during the attack.
The next moment.
The warrior believer holding the pot cover shield was stuck in position and faced Doom's heavy punch head-on.
"Bang!"
If it fell on an ordinary person, this punch would directly hit the person's head.
But this time, the one who resisted the attack was a warrior believer who majored in shields and allocated his free attributes to physique, strength and will as much as possible!
His level of resistance to attacks is much higher than that of the same level 1 professional!
Relying on the damage reduction provided by [Shield Mastery-Basics], he exerted his whole body strength and steadily took on Dum's attack!
The priest believers behind him flipped the scriptures.
"Lord, please bless me and heal the pain!"
[Secondary Healing] took effect, and the damage he suffered was quickly healed.
When Dum's attack ended and he didn't have time to adjust his center of gravity, Brandon took advantage of the situation and found an opportunity from another angle, and chopped down two more swords!
"...Ah!"
The more the ogre Dum fought, the more frustrated he felt!
He had already discovered that it was the little thing called "Brandon" who was constantly causing damage to him, but every time he tried to knock him down with one punch, the guy holding the pot lid would always get stuck in his way.
When the attack hit the pot lid, his brute force was not effective, and he would be hurt by the recoil.
And at this time, Brandon would most likely find an opportunity to chop him twice.
The angry Doom couldn't understand why this happened. His attacks never worked, and the increasing injuries on his body, although not fatal, hurt!
After several rounds of fighting, Doom finally couldn't help but wail.
He held his head with both hands and squatted on the ground.
"Woo... Stop it... Stop it!"
He was hired by the goblin boss as a bodyguard, not to sell his life!
Doom really felt the danger.
These "little guys" were obviously no match for him in a one-on-one fight, but when they worked together, Doom couldn't find any flaws.
Seeing that he couldn't win, the ogre's fearful nature when in danger made Doom surrender on the spot.
"Doom... Doom! I give up!!"
Suddenly, the workers around him cheered loudly.
"We won!"
"Brandon! Awesome!!"
"You can actually beat Doom!"
"Fuck! So professionals are so powerful? This is an ogre!"
The ogre supervisor Doom used to bully ordinary people working in the rolling bolt workshop.
Relying on his large size and strong force, he would order this and that at any time, and buy him food without paying.
Everyone was holding back a lot of resentment, and seeing Doom being beaten and begging for mercy, they finally let out their anger.
Feeling the respectful eyes and flattering words of his former co-workers, Brandon felt comfortable all over, which was more refreshing than drinking a large glass of iced drink in this midsummer.
The fatigue brought by using [Heroic Strike] many times just now seemed to disappear.
Why did he want to become a professional?
It was because the powerful power of professionals allowed him to use his own power to solve the things he didn't like, and to make his own deeds and reputation!
Didn't the legendary heroes sung by the bards in the tavern also start by solving various incidents and gradually leaving their own legends?
In the previous fight against the Bloodfang Gang, he and other believers relied on ambushes and gang beatings, which was ultimately an unfair victory.
This time, it was a real head-on victory!
This battle might be the starting point of his Brandon legend.
Brandon has made plans, and he will prepare a small notebook later:
"On a certain day of a certain month in the new Huili calendar, Brandon defeated an adult ogre head-on in the lower city of Green Harbor, please know!"
He has even thought of the name of the notebook.
It's called "The Legend of Brandon Robert"
In the future, when he becomes a famous hero on the continent, the bards will just brag about what is written in this notebook.
"Ahem, I just played at my normal level," Brandon said indifferently, "It's just a small ogre, it can be easily solved!"
He said it very modestly, but he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.
He slapped the shivering ogre supervisor on the ground twice.
"Go in and call out that old profiteer, and make him pay the wages he owes everyone!"
Doom responded aggrievedly, and when he stood up, the wound on his body caused by Brandon's beating was pulled, and his dirty head shook.
"Dang."
A slightly delicate silver ring-shaped object fell out from Doom's greasy and tangled hair.
The object fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Brandon bent down and picked it up.
The silver object was in the shape of a headband, made of silver metal, with beautiful patterns engraved on the surface. It felt cool in the hand, very light, and almost weightless.
In the middle of the headband, corresponding to the forehead, there was an emerald leaf-shaped gem inlaid.
On the inside of the headband, Brandon noticed the words "B·F" engraved.
"What is this...?"
Judging from the fine workmanship, this thing is obviously not something that can be made by an ogre.
With Brandon's knowledge, he couldn't recognize it.
But it doesn't matter. Now he has the God of Knowledge. If he doesn't understand something, he can pray for help from Norwen!
"Great Lord of Enlightenment, please witness and reveal the secret!"
The oracle came down immediately.
[Believers' demands detected]
[Suggested strategy: Immediate identification]
[Requirement: 4 knowledge points]
Four knowledge points are less than the cost of using a level 1 practice simulator.
Brandon can still afford this cost.
