Chapter 692 The Cursed Sword
Gao Fei unsheathed the scabbard from William.
He held the scabbard upside down and put the cursed rapier that fell on the ground back into the scabbard.
As long as you don't touch the hilt, you won't be cursed.
William was forced to let go of the magic sword, and the curse on his body automatically disappeared.
Next, Gao Fei helped the unconscious boy up and escorted him out of the bandit's nest.
Gao Fei can spend a star disk energy to skip the subsequent cutscenes.
The scene changed, and everyone had returned to Gordon's house.
At the same time, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng both received a system prompt:
Complete the main plot of this chapter, star disk energy +1!
Jiang Feng's "Temple of the Gods" has been upgraded to level 7.
HP +7 (52), sneak attack damage increased to 4d6.
Learned the professional ability "Listen to the wind and identify the position". With keen hearing, you can detect any movement within 60 feet around, which is equivalent to gaining the "blindsight" ability.
Level 7 Templar of the Gods can choose to take the first 3rd ring magic.
Jiang Feng chose the "Scorching Radiance" that she was most familiar with without hesitation. The glorious days of Yangyan Monk are back!
As a ray magic, "Scorching Radiance" can be used for long-range attacks, and can also be used in conjunction with Jiang Feng's "Magic Guide" to conduct through melee weapons to deal explosive damage.
Gao Fei's "Spell Thief" was also upgraded to level 7.
HP +7 (52), sneak attack dice 4d6.
Learned the professional ability "Flying over the eaves and walking on the walls", climbing rocks barehanded as if walking on flat ground.
After upgrading, Gao Fei can steal another spell of no more than 3rd level and save it.
What should he steal?
Gao Fei looked at his girlfriend naturally.
He already had "Scorching Ray", so he didn't really need "Scorching Radiance".
However, thieves are like fishermen, they can't return empty-handed.
In the current game scene, there are no other more practical 3rd level magic for Gao Fei to copy, so he can only reluctantly open it on Comrade Xiao Jiang.
Martin is promoted to a 7th-level ranger.
HP +9 (67), the connection with his animal companion is further strengthened, and they can share life with each other.
The 7th-level ranger also awakens the ability of "telepathy", which can communicate with other intelligent creatures.
In addition, Martin also learned the first 2nd-level natural magic, "resist energy damage", which is a collection of resistance barriers such as fire, electricity, acid, cold and sound waves, which is still very practical.
Martin's hound "landlord" has a life dice of 7HD and HP +8 (59).
Because the hound and Martin have established a life connection, these 59 health points are equivalent to Martin's spare health slot.
This chapter is passed perfectly, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng both get a reward profession, which is the "warrior" of the bugbear chief Qiqitak.
"Warrior" is a purer kitchen knife profession than the berserker. The biggest highlight is the core ability of "perseverance" that becomes stronger with more setbacks!
In reality, Gao Fei thinks that it is better to take "Warrior" as a second-tier secondary profession, upgrade it to level 5, and get "Perseverance".
When necessary, you can first make yourself have residual blood, and maximize the benefit effect of "Perseverance", attack roll and immunity resistance +5, weapon damage +5d6, which is quite cool.
Of course, the premise is to control the blood volume.
"Walking on the tightrope" on the edge of death is certainly exciting, but if you mess up, it will become a joke.
From this perspective, the "Standing Firm" feat chain is most suitable for the "Warrior" profession. Transformed into an indestructible "Xiao Qiang", the standard hot-blooded anime male protagonist style!
"Standing Firm" comes with a blood lock, which can save your life at a critical moment, making the "Perseverance" tactic more fault-tolerant and more practical.
The three candidate reward feats in this chapter are "Long-range Shooting", "Close-range Shooting" and "Mastery of Initiative".
First exclude "Mastery of Initiative".
The other two shooting feats have their own characteristics.
"Long-range shooting" doubles the range.
"Close-range shooting" gives an advantage to attacks launched within 1/2 of the range, and close shooting is immune to attacks of opportunity.
The specific choice should be based on the shooting weapon you are good at.
If Gao Fei uses a rifle, he is good at sniping from outside the enemy's line of sight and shooting in the head with one shot.
Then, he will give priority to "long-range shooting".
However, in fact, his usual weapon is a pair of pistols.
The standard range of a pistol is 180 feet (60 meters), and doubling it does not seem to have any essential changes.
In actual combat, Gao Fei often launches shooting within 30 feet in order to achieve a long-range sneak attack effect.
Obviously, for a combat style like his, it is more cost-effective to choose "close-range shooting".
In the game module "Harbor City Heroes", most of the battles take place in the city. The battlefield environment is complex and the space is relatively small. A 30-meter shooting advantage is enough.
Another benefit of learning "Close Range Shooting" is that you can shoot within the enemy's melee weapon attack range without worrying about triggering an attack of opportunity and having your fingers cut off by someone.
Jiang Feng fully agreed with Gao Fei's analysis of these two specialties, and he also chose "Close Range Shooting".
The protagonist group successfully rescued the kidnapped William and received gratitude and rewards from the Gordons.
In addition to the 3,000 gold Duga commission, Mr. Gordon also gave a set of +1 Mithril Chain Shirt!
The value of this set of equipment is at least three times the commission!
Gao Fei was in need of a set of high-end armor, so he took off his shabby leather armor and put on a light and handsome +1 mithril chainmail shirt with +5 armor defense.
Jiang Feng was very interested in the cursed rapier.
After asking Mr. Gordon, he learned that this rapier was a gift from Mr. Lucas to William when he was invited to a banquet at Lucas's house.
This rapier can glow in the dark, and under sufficient light, it can create a dark barrier.
As for the curse on the sword?
The Gordons and William himself were sure that there was no curse effect when they received this gift.
In fact, this is normal.
Mr. Lucas is a shipping insurance tycoon and a respectable man in the city. How could he give a cursed weapon as a gift to the son of the police chief?
This is not making friends, but deliberately making enemies!
A more reasonable explanation is that after William was kidnapped by the Blood Anchor Gang, the Twilight Sword fell into the hands of the mysterious "boss", who cursed it and returned it to William, designing a vicious trap to specifically harm rescuers.
In fact, Gao Fei almost fell into the trap.
William was knocked unconscious by the kidnappers at the school gate, and he had no memory of what happened afterwards, including being cursed and attacking Gao Fei with a sword.
Since everyone could not get more valuable clues from him, they asked the Gordons to take the cursed Twilight Sword and go to find Father Gallop.
