Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!
Accompanied by the sound of metal weapons colliding, in the training room on the lower floor of the mage tower, the dwarf berserker Korgan was sparring with the tabby cat hunter Abala.
Because both parties have very high professional levels.
Therefore, whether it is strength, speed, skills and experience, they are all displayed vividly in the battle.
Sometimes the two of them swing their weapons too fast, even causing visual afterimages in the air.
The former's fighting style is obviously very wild, and he often abandons defense in pursuit of injuries in exchange for lives. As a result, many opponents will be frightened by his desperate posture. As a result, the more timid and hesitant he is, the faster he will die.
According to the description of the half-orc Rhett, Korgan's highest record was when he rushed into the goblin community with all his might and killed more than thirty hobgoblins and hundreds of ordinary goblins with his own strength.
When the battle was over, the whole person seemed to be bathed in blood, and the armor was covered with plasma, minced meat, internal organs and intestines.
Many poor guys were chopped alive by sharp magic axes and turned into corpses of different sizes.
Abala's fighting style is just the opposite. He likes to look for loopholes in his opponent's defense. If he doesn't take action, he will kill him with one blow.
So it is that kind of calm hunter, with two sharp eyes always watching every move of its opponent, just like a big cat chasing its prey.
In addition, the weapons are metal arm guards and gloves with adamantine added, so the speed of swinging the arms is obviously faster than that of Corgan, so he does not suffer in a head-on confrontation.
Especially the sharp metal claws at the front can even tear open most non-magical metal armor as easily as opening a can.
Once you get close, you are definitely one of the most dangerous enemies.
It was obviously the first time for the little werewolves watching nearby to see such a high-level warrior competition, so they all opened their eyes wide and wanted to learn from it to increase their own fighting abilities.
Among them, the fighting style of Abala, the spotted cat man, is basically the same as if they maintained their half-human, half-animal form. They are simply the most ideal learning object.
As the leader of the clan, the werewolf girl Fangus would make secret gestures to herself from time to time, her pupils flashing with excitement.
"Where did you find him? I have never heard of such a race on the continent of Faerûn." The half-orc Rhett asked in a low voice.
Zuo Si touched his chin and replied: "Because Abala is not a native race of the Faerun continent. But it does surprise me that his martial arts skills have reached this level. How about it? What is your evaluation of it?"
"A very good warrior. If I guessed correctly, it should be very good at using throwing weapons, right?" Rhett quickly gave his own evaluation.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Well, yes. Abala is a hunter, so he is also very good at throwing javelins or spears. I created a magic weapon for it that can automatically return to the holder.
Javelin, so that you can take into account both long-range and melee combat."
"Sounds really good. It reminds me of Korgan's throwing axe. There once was an unlucky goblin shaman who was hit in the head by his throwing ax and died on the spot." Rhett sighed with a smile.
While the two were talking, the discussion between the dwarf and the spotted cat man finally came to an end.
Korgan's ax was seen resting on Abala's neck, and Abala's claws were pressed against the dwarf's defenseless throat.
Just a second later, the former was the first to take back the ax and couldn't help laughing loudly: "Hahahaha! It's so fun! Old Cogan likes you, big cat."
"Thank you..."
The tabby cat man responded in a slightly stiff common language.
You don’t need to ask to know that it is blessed with the art of glib at the moment, otherwise it would not be able to understand what the other person is saying.
"How do you feel? Are the arm guards and gloves comfortable to use?" Zuo Si asked with interest.
"It's great. It fits perfectly on my palm. It not only increases protection, but also makes the claws sharper. If it were in the tribe where I live, just such a weapon can get the best hunter
Loyal." Abala praised without hesitation.
After hearing the tabby cat man's words, Zuo Si immediately showed a satisfied expression: "As long as you like it. I'm going to go to the Northland next. Do any of you want to sign up?"
"I! Master, I am already a warrior and ranger with a professional level. I will definitely be able to help you during your journey." Fangus was the first to jump out.
Zuo Si did not give an answer immediately, but turned his attention to the half-orc Rhett, the dwarf Korgan and the half-human and half-scorpion Mural who usually provided combat training to these young werewolves.
In the end, it was Mural who spoke first: "Master, Fangus is indeed a qualified warrior and ranger. Coupled with the physical bonus after the werewolf transformation, most adventurers with low professional levels can really
She is no match for you. If your trip is not particularly dangerous, bringing her with you to gain some experience will definitely be much better than staying in the tower all day."
"Okay, then I'll take you with me. But as I said before, you must stay alone in Waterdeep City for a few days. I have some things that require me to go to the depths of the Lost City." Zuo Si stared into the eyes of the werewolf girl and said.p>
"No problem! I promise to obey your orders 100%."
Fangers clenched his fists tightly, almost jumping with joy.
After all, as a werewolf, her nature prefers to run in open forests and fields to chase prey.
Although it is safe to stay in the Mage Tower and the city, and food and accommodation are guaranteed, the blood of adventure is always rushing through the girl's veins, as if there is a voice calling in her mind.
"Go and prepare. Bring all the weapons and equipment. We will set off in ten minutes."
Zuo Si smiled and flicked the werewolf girl on the forehead.
"As you command!"
Fangers' body expanded rapidly, thick hair grew from the surface of his skin, and he soon turned into a half-man, half-wolf. He raised his head and let out a piercing howl, then took steps towards his room as quickly as possible.
Rush away.
You don't need to ask to know that her transformation this time was entirely due to her excessive mental state.
"What...what's going on?"
The spotted cat man's eyes widened with an expression of extreme shock.
It was obviously the first time it had seen a werewolf, or someone infected with lycanthropy, so it had no idea why a human would suddenly transform into a wolf.
"Relax, big cat. Those little guys are all werewolves, a special group of people who can freely switch between wolf, half-human, half-wolf and human forms. They are different from you. They are still humans in essence, but they are cursed.
, of course it can also be said to be a blessing." Old Corgan muttered in a low voice and explained.
Although he himself is of the chaotic evil camp, both bloodthirsty and cruel, he is still quite friendly and respectful to those powerful warriors.
In particular, most tabby cat people are in the neutral camp and do not have any obvious concepts of good and evil. They are not as prone to violent conflicts of ideas as the good camp.
"Werewolf?"
Abala repeated the word "side", and the furry cat's face revealed an expression of interest.
As a very curious race, once he becomes interested in something, he can't help but want to find out what's going on.
However, Zuo Si did not care about Abala's reaction, but continued to ask several other subordinates: "Where are you? Is there anyone else who wants to come with me?"
"Me me me!"
Pyromancer Alaina eagerly shouted to sign up.
Seeing how active this troublemaker was, Zuo Si couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly, and questioned with a serious expression: "Are you sure? You must know that you must abstain from drinking when traveling with me."
"No problem. I swear that I will never touch an alcoholic drink until I get to a safe place." Alaina assured her.
Of course, as a person from the chaotic camp, the credibility of her words has to be put into question.
Because maybe the statement you make now is from the heart, but you will definitely regret it before long.
"Count me in."
The half-orc Rhett hesitated for a moment before choosing to join.
After all, Wenrou Township is the grave of warriors. He still wants to improve his combat skills and professional level as much as possible while he is young and his body has not started to decline.
Warriors are not like mages. As long as they stay in the tower and do research, they can improve their perception of the magic network, obtain higher spellcasting levels and master more spells.
The only way for them to improve their strength is to keep fighting and fight against powerful enemies or monsters.
Seeing that the two drinking buddies and adventure partners had joined, the dwarf berserker said without hesitation: "Take me with you too. Old Cogan's ax will help you chop up any enemies that dare to block our way forward."
”
"In this case, the team has been decided. You should go back and prepare quickly, and then we will teleport directly to Waterdeep City."
After that, Zuo Si walked straight towards the teleportation room.
Abala, who didn't need to prepare anything at all, followed behind, looking around at the strange creatures, constructs and magic devices around him.
Because it lived entirely in the primitive tropical rainforest, magic is quite strange and unbelievable to it.
Occasionally, I will be startled by the magic bat that suddenly appears next to me.
However, the tabby cat man soon discovered that these little dots had no ill intentions and were just playing pranks to make themselves happy, and he couldn't help but laugh along with them.
In about ten minutes, when everyone arrived at the teleportation room, Zuo Si immediately activated the teleportation door and sent everyone to the basement of his house in Waterdeep City.
