Chapter 36 The Rose and the Vicious Dog (Part 2)
"The Lady of the Great" is a camp mission reward obtained by Kaserba after the end of the "Death Battle". In order to "redeem the active heroines in the war (there are rumors that it was fought for by the princes, and there are rumors that it was the emperor himself)", His Majesty Gorderand Mecarid ordered it to be taken out from the royal treasure house. His Highness Vidland Villeon personally awarded Kaserba. The golden sword is divided into several pieces, and each piece is inlaid with different colors of gems at the end. From top to bottom, there are emeralds that symbolize keenness, sapphires and rubies that symbolize courage. Legend has it that this is the relic of the famous heroine "The Punctured Baron" in the history of the kingdom, with rare ancient magic attached.
This weapon was also included in the "Advanced Equipment Catalog" spontaneously established by the famous player "Horus" in the forum, and evaluated it as "one of the most historical and political weapons owned by the player". However, this is also because Kasper himself did not publish the weapon attributes and its enchantment effect, so there is only such an evaluation. People's understanding of this weapon is unknown except for the relevant background introduction, which is also one of the reasons why this weapon was quickly forgotten after the "death battle".
But this does not prevent it from becoming one of the love swordsmen of the fast swordsman Kasperba. "Madam Gui" is a high-level weapon whose sharpness and attribute bonus are not comparable to weapons made of ordinary materials. Although Madam Kasper himself has found the chief craftsmen of the Stone Burrow to identify this weapon, even as the chief craftsmen of the Stone Burrow, they cannot read their information about the material or forging method through the "identification" stunt; and the most powerful thing about Madam Gui is that the three ancient magics attached to it: "Light" enchantment can increase the movement speed of the holder; "Echo" enchantment allows Madam Gui to continuously automatically restore the weapon durability value; "Brutal" enchantment makes the weapon have the probability of directly piercing or destroying weapons and equipment with a hardness lower than Madam Gui.
In today's "Adam", enchanting weapons are rare treasures, and the "Naughter" who has a triple enchantment is the treasure among these treasures. This is also one of the reasons why Kassabah is unwilling to publish weapon data and panels, because rare weapons may attract some people with ulterior motives. In "Adam", there is a kind of person - in the game, perhaps anyone around him may become such a person, that is, equipped with robbers. They maliciously launch PVP for the equipment or props on a player, and their behavior is no different from robbers. Although this behavior is disgusted by most players, this kind of incident has never been reduced.
At first, some people thought that the "mad dog" was such an equipment robber. Although he did take away the equipment of the attacked person, people later realized that this guy was not attacking people for equipment, but what was the purpose, maybe no one except him knew.
But Kasper herself never considered this issue. Just as when she first met the "Demon of Lake Fran", she didn't care about why she did that, but admired her figure when she acted, and then she subdued the "Demon of Lake Fran" like a beast. "I like you very much," Kasper told the "Demon" at that time, "Come to my command, but it means you have to say goodbye to the freedom you do whatever you want."
For some reason, when I saw the mad dog, Kasperba actually had the same emotions as that time. Unfortunately, that guy was a man. Kasperba thought of it with a little regret, but this was also good, there was no stop, only killing and being killed.
With this idea, Kasperba started hunting for the mad dog, but in fact it was not as smooth as she expected. Even Kasperba, who had the "light" enchantment, did not quickly catch up with the mad dog. She was always quite complacent about the points of her attributes and the movement speed brought by her equipment, but at this moment, the mad dog was pulled a certain distance away, which made Kasperba change the legendary "mad dog" again.
His level may be similar to me. Kasperba thought seriously, and it may even be higher than me. Kasperba's level is level 87. Generally, players will have a much lower level after reaching level 60. And players who can reach level 80 are rare. If the level is higher than Kasperba... they can only be the legendary level 100 player. It can almost be said to be an urban legend, and it can only be mentioned on the forum. The most famous one is the president of the Gargoyle Group.
One of the 100-player internal test players is said to have reached a high level of 101 when he was "fighting to death". When facing the siege of powerful enemies from five principalities, he can resist alone to support his teammates. It is rumored that the five people are all high-level players above level 60, and one of them has even reached level 80. In "Adam", the level cannot make you invincible. The sword that can stab a level 1 player can naturally stab a level 100 player to death. However, the time for the final death after stabbing is different, but in fact, it will not be too long.
What makes high-level players stronger than low-level players is not only relying on a little attribute, but also the experience and equipment accumulated through their long-term survival, and even the connections they establish, are all the strengths that high-level players rely on.
If the mad dog can reach the speed that Kaserba, who holds "Naughter Madam", can't keep up with the speed that Kaserba is a hundred people who don't believe it. What methods must have been used by this guy? Kaserba judged that it was enchanting equipment? Special stunts? Or... magic?
In this way, Kasperba's curiosity about this "mad dog" has become even stronger. Could this bloodthirsty "madman" or a mage who can use acceleration magic?
"Hmph, interesting." Kasperba raised the corner of her mouth uncontrollably. Her next step suddenly stepped out, and her heel stepped on the stone floor made a crisp sound. Obviously, the mad dog in front also noticed the abnormal movement behind him, and then a sound of shaving the air was heard, just like the sound of breaking through the air when the bow and arrow left the string, but there was a little difference.
The mad dog turned around and saw that Kasperba had already pulled a lot closer. The red and blue cloak she was wearing was waving like wings. She herself leaned forward, and the two thin swords in her hand drew two afterimages in the air.
The special skill "Silent Body" is an extremely rare and extremely difficult movement special skill, which can make people move forward for a distance at an inhuman speed. This special skill does not mean that the skill proficiency can be used more easily, but requires the player's own operational technology to keep up with the skills before it can be used. The higher the skill proficiency, the higher the technology required. "Silent Body" is therefore rated as a "useless rare skill" by many players, because many players cannot use this skill even if they have learned this skill, which makes its practicality in combat basically zero.
But Kasper herself honed the skills of using "instant body" to perfection. She can be said to have completely mastered the characteristics and shortcomings of this skill, so she was able to use this skill accurately at the moment she needed it most. This is also the truth about her "slashing six people in three seconds".
The danger suddenly approached, and the mad dog responded immediately. He turned around almost instantly. The sharp spear tip of a spear stabbed out from the shadow of the cloak. The black triangular spear tip mixed with the spear body, as if the whole spear was cast in shadow. In a trance, Kasperba actually thought that the gun was temporarily created by some kind of magic that drove the shadow, but the metallic luster on the tip of the spear woke her up. She immediately turned sideways, and the black spear stabbed her cloak and scratched her waist to the left side of her waist. The triangular spear tip teared open her leather armor and cut a blood mark. The pain made Kasperba alert.
"Madam Gui" broke through the air like a rifle with the momentum of Kasperba's sprinting. The golden sword tip pierced at the mad dog's body. The sword tip tore the cloak and pricked the flesh and blood. In an instant, through the touch of the sword blade, Kasperba felt that there was only a thin layer of leather armor under the mad dog's cloak, or that was not even leather armor at all, but leather jacket...
No, no, Kasperba suddenly realized that things were not that simple, either leather jackets, but fur. Kasperba suddenly recalled the scene when he faced the wolf pack of the robber tribe in the Valley of Wind.
The golden spear tip pierced into the left shoulder of the mad dog, and an undetectable muffled groan came from under the cloak. Then he held the black spear in both hands and pushed Kasperba towards the left. The huge power of the mad dog made Kasperba a little distracted in an instant. She directly hit the wall of the alley on her right side. The golden sword "Madam Gui" also pulled out of the mad dog's shoulders. Blood dripped to the ground. The mad dog took several steps in a row, then raised the black spear and stabbed Kasperba who had not yet recovered his balance. Kasperba, who reacted quickly, immediately turned around. This time the gun blade only tore through her cloak without hurting her, but also brushed a string of sparks on the wall.
The mad dog was not in love with the battle. He forced Kasper to retreat with one blow and immediately retreated, and overturned a large pile of abandoned wicker boxes and wooden barrels. A burst of dust rose up. Kasper retreated, watching the tall figure of the mad dog disappear at the corner of the alley. She looked serious, then lowered her head to look at the blood stained on the blade of "Madame Gui" and the blood stains of the mad dog on the ground. She took out a white silk from the pocket of the cloak, wiped the blood off the blade of "Madame Gui", then stared at the blood stains on it, and finally put the silk stains back into her pocket.
"Tsk." Seeing the raised dust still falling, Kasperba took two steps back. At this time, the tingling sensation from her waist made her frown slightly, "I haven't been injured for a long time." She reached out and touched the wound on her waist, and her own blood stains were stained on her hands, which made her feel helpless.
"Go to find Meka first." She turned around, after all, the road ahead had been blocked.
...
When Joel saw Simoken running to tell him that Anthony was back, he had a bad premonition.
Joel immediately followed Simoken to the room upstairs. Anthony had been helped to lay down on the bed, and the bandage Alps had worn on his head was wrapped around his head, and the blood was oozing out, and the robe that had always been clean was stained with blood, but his still undulating chest proved that he was still alive, which made Joel breathe a sigh of relief.
"What the hell happened?" Joel looked at Feiyu beside him, and Simoken told him that Feiyu was helping Anthony approaching the tavern.
"Mr. Drake was attacked by a mad dog." Feiyu said in a terror, "President Kasperba chased after him alone..."
"Kassba?" Alps next to him asked in surprise after hearing the name, "Is it Kassba, the president of the Ghost Sword Brigade?"
"Yes, I followed her into the alley...and then saw the mad dog attacking Mr. Anthony and some other masked people..." Feiyu recalled hard.
"Masked Man?" Joel frowned, and he looked at Anthony who was lying on the bed. According to the old ghost, the mercenary had the blessing of the god "Sword Swallowing Snake" and could quickly recover from the pain to a state of being able to fight. So Joel came to Anthony's side, and Simoken was wiping away the dust and blood on Anthony's face with a clean towel.
"How is he?" Joel asked in a low voice.
Ximoken replied worriedly: "It seems..."
"No, I can't die." Anthony, who closed his eyes, whispered. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone around him became quiet, because his voice was too small, "Well, it's just... dizzy."
"Anthony, have you met a mad dog?" Alps asked when he walked to the bed.
"Um... It seems that I suddenly came out halfway." Anthony reached out and covered his forehead, with a look of pain on his face, "Uh, I want to vomit, is this a concussion?"
"No, it's just a negative effect, hold on." Alps said calmly, as if he didn't care about Anthony's injuries at all. "If you explain what happened, please explain it to me."
"Sir Al, I think... it's better to let Mr. Anthony take a good rest first..." Ximoken said timidly.
Joel gently patted her on the shoulder, "It's okay, the mercenary is not that fragile."
"Hey, you guys... I'm hurt now." Anthony, who was lying on the bed, retorted weakly.
"Simoken, let's leave it here to us," Alpine took the towel from her hand, "Go and get some honey for us, that thing can relieve pain." As Alpine said that, she put two silver coins into Simoken's hand, she lowered her head and looked at the silver coins in her hand, then showed a confused expression, then stood up and walked towards the door.
But when she reached the door, she turned her head again: "Mr. Anthony... please don't force it."
"Don't worry, no problem, go." Alps said cheerfully.
"Hey, she is talking to me!" Anthony said with some dissatisfaction, and then Simoken turned his head and left the room. When the wooden door was closed, everyone's eyes focused on Anthony again.
"So what happened, you'd better organize the language." Alps replied seriously.
"Hey, I'm a victim. Don't do it like interrogating a prisoner?" Anthony opened his eyes, and his right eye was still covered in blood, looking very embarrassed.
"Masked man?" Joel asked straightforwardly, looking at Joel's serious gaze, Anthony swallowed.
He was silent for a few seconds, as if trying to recall, and it was obvious that the impact on his brain affected his usual flexible brain. "Yes, masked man," Anthony nodded slightly, but immediately closed his eyes in pain because of the wound on his head, and his brows frowned, "After we came back from the mercenary camp outside the city, we were targeted..."
"We?" Joel asked again.
"Yes, we, me and...Waring, yes, that's the name." Anthony replied recalling.
"Varin?" Alps was stunned when he heard the name.
"You know?" Joel looked at the Alps.
"Ah, well, that's right," he then looked at Feiyu again, and looked at Anthony again, "Where are others?"
"Killed by the mad dog," Anthony replied.
"Oh..." Alps raised his head, obviously this answer surprised him a little.
"Do you know something?" Joel asked in confusion.
"Hmm? No, I don't know." Alps decisively denied, and then he continued to look at Anthony, "You continue to say that you were targeted after you left the mercenary camp."
"Yes, we're being targeted." Anthony nodded slightly, "We were led into the alley by something-we didn't even realize we were walking into the ambush, and then masked men appeared, they... were very professional, and Walin and I almost fell into their hands."
"Npc? Or player?" Alps asked in confusion.
"npc." Anthony opened his eyes again, and he looked at the Alps, "Then the mad dog was killed when we were hunted - I think his appearance may be just a coincidence. Although he was unwilling to admit it, his appearance could be said to have saved my life. As expected, he attacked all the people he saw, and those masked people were also attacked by him."
"Then I went into the alley with President Kasperba and I followed the traces of the mad dog. I heard from the people next to me that they saw the mad dog entering the alley, so President Kasperba insisted on hunting him." Feiyu continued Anthony's words, "Then when we arrived, we happened to see the mad dog slaughtering the masked people."
"Who are those masked people?" Joel, who had been listening to their narrative quietly, asked at this time.
"I don't know," Anthony confessed, "there is no time to investigate, but I think... they are people from the Beggar Brotherhood."
"Brother Beggars?!" Alps and Feiyu exclaimed almost in unison, and then they looked at each other again.
"Why are you so responsive? What do you know?" Anthony frowned and looked at the two of them.
"I heard a lot about the Beggar Brotherhood from Valin." Alps honestly said.
"I...I heard something mentioned by an NPC... Brotherhood, I was wondering if it would..." Feiyu said hesitantly.
"Who did you hear?" Joel asked at Feiyu, his serious gaze made Feiyu feel a little uneasy.
"A black tree party," Feiyu replied nervously, "but he is dead."
"Black Tree Party?" The other three people in the room suddenly fell into silence again.
