The mad dog tactic took effect again. Under the fearless charge and grapple of the ghoul, the one-eyed man was tied up and unable to escape.
When building a wooden stake that couldn't even be defended, Downton would not miss. He tore the dragon's teeth and struck repeatedly, bursting the soul shield, and beheaded the one-eyed head.
Whoa, One Eye activated the magic item he was carrying, and a shield popped out, blocking the battle axe.
"Let me go, I will pay the ransom!" Duyan begged for mercy. After all, he was a group leader, and he also had a defensive item that he spent a lot of money to buy, just to save his life. But now he can't escape, and the shield will be destroyed sooner or later.
.
"Sorry, I'm not short of money." Downton sneered, "Where did your domineering attitude go when we first met? Are you continuing to threaten me?"
"It's all because of my blindness, please let me go." The one-eyed man can bend and stretch. As long as he can survive, he will have a chance for revenge.
"Why not use soul talent?" Downton slashed harder, but he was also more careful, guarding against One-Eye's trump card.
"Please." Duyan saw cracks appearing in the shield and could break at any time. He was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. He struggled violently, but to no avail.
In fact, One-Eye is also very helpless. His talent is attack amplification. The effect of martial arts will be doubled, which is equivalent to the power of the fifth level of the soul. Otherwise, he would not have suppressed Downton in one fell swoop.
If the ghouls hadn't been wearing helmets, they would have torn the one-eye into pieces.
"I have a treasure, if you let me go, it will be yours." One Eye revealed his final trump card, but Downton's answer made him dumbfounded.
"If I kill you, it will still be mine." Downton was testing it. When he saw the one-eyed face looking ashen, he knew that the treasure must be with him, and he didn't have to hold it back.
Under the command, the demon servants grabbed One-Eye's hands, feet and head and tore him into large pieces.
"die!"
Boom, the battle ax struck down, and the sharp ax blade chopped the one-eye into two pieces without any resistance, and the internal organs and blood were spilled.
The barbarians also finished the battle and were looking through the trophies. Jackson didn't care about money, but secretly cut open the belly of a mercenary, devouring the internal organs while watching Downton.
Seeing his master looking over, Jackson immediately stood up, hid his entrails behind his back, hurriedly ran over, and flattered him, "Master, you are so powerful. I knew this kind of trash fish would never survive three minutes!"
"Throw away the entrails and get out of here." Even though Jackson was eating dead people, Downton was still not used to it.
"Forget it, let him eat it. It will increase his strength and it will be good for you." The magic book advised while absorbing the soul remains. "Even the soul level cannot be on the stage in this border. You can't even do it now."
I don’t have the strength to protect myself yet.”
Downton glanced at Arnold and lowered his head to examine One-Eye's body. Indeed, as far as he knew, Liszt was at the sixth level of soul. The Sheriff of Morning Mist Town was even at the war level. He wanted others to take him seriously, except for nobles.
The title must at least be upgraded to the war level.
"Thank you, Master." Jackson knew that this was the Master's acquiescence, and happily danced the palace waltz. "Oh, my brains are all gone, what a waste."
Dozens of meters away, ten of his henchmen saw Downton being suppressed and were hesitating whether to escape. However, the situation reversed in the next second and he killed One-Eye cleanly.
"Are those ghouls?"
The cronies have heard the rumors in the mines, saying that Downton's servants are undead creatures, but he is a paladin, how could he lead subordinates who belong to the dark camp, but there is no suspense now.
Jackson swallowing brains is undoubtedly the best proof.
Downton tore open One-Eye's leather armor and found a ring that could release the shield and a money bag.
"Didn't he say there was a treasure? Why didn't you see it?" Downton took off his one eye and found nothing. He sighed, "It seems he didn't bring it with him. I don't know who he was trying to take advantage of."
"Don't make a hasty decision, look at his necklace." Homer projected an arrow and pointed at the necklace around One-Eye's neck.
This is a jade the size of a cherry, wrapped in silver and made into the shape of a garland. There is nothing strange about it.
Downton was not interested in these ornaments and originally planned to give them to the barbarians. Even if Homer said so, he would naturally have to take a closer look.
"Boss!" Arnold finished cleaning the battlefield, walked over with the trophies, and piled them in front of Downton.
"It's all yours." Downton was very generous. According to industry rules, even though Arnold killed everyone, Downton, as his employer, had the right to share 30% of the spoils.
"Thank you, boss!" Arnold knew that Downton was not short of money, so he didn't show any pretense. After thanking him with a grateful face, he found a piece of clothing, wrapped up the loot, and carried it on his back.
The cronies were very envious, but after seeing Arnold's fighting prowess, they didn't dare ask him for it.
Several people died on the border that day. If no one reported the crime, the security team and the border army would not take care of it, so Downton asked his cronies to bury the bodies casually before continuing on the road.
After returning to the mine and asking his cronies to return the horses, Downton went directly back to the dormitory.
"What on earth is this?" Downton placed a black ball made of gelatin on the table, which he peeled off from the jade necklace.
"The black pearl is a rare item that only has a certain chance of being born among the thousand-year-old giant clams." Homer is indeed a big encyclopedia, and nothing can be difficult for it.
"What's the use?" Pearls are a bit soft and will deform if you squeeze them hard.
"No matter what state the magic user is in, after eating it, he will be directly promoted to the first level and will never fail." Homer Science said, "Of course, it will only take effect on magic users below the war level."
"So powerful? Then why doesn't the one-eyed man eat it?" Downton was surprised, "How much is it worth?"
"He is only the fourth level, and he is already at the peak. It would be too much of a loss to take it. Besides, every promotion to a major level is a process of narrow escape. Of course, magical items like black pearls should be kept at the most critical time.
Taking it will ensure the success rate." The magic book estimated, "The value should be about 10 million gold coins."
"Haha, you've given me an advantage." Downton was happy. The one-eyed man was too greedy, otherwise he wouldn't have stolen the chicken but lost the rice.
"In the magic world, you can't look at people with colored eyes. A down-and-out mercenary may be carrying legendary equipment that can kill people." The magic book estimates that the black pearl is either the one-eyed man's heirloom, or he is lucky.
It was obtained from somewhere, but it was a pity that it died in Downton's hands before it could be used.
"Hmm." Downton played with the pearl, hesitantly, "What should we do now? Leave it alone, or eat it?"
"Of course, eat it. You urgently need to improve your strength now. If you can't survive, everything will be in vain." Homer suggested, "Take a rest for two days, wait until the big library opens, and start attacking the fourth level of the soul in the dormitory!
"
Downton nodded, the dungeon was full of dangers, and the rules of rejection after promotion would definitely cause big trouble if Robinson or the black-robed mage were attracted again.
In the purse, in addition to dozens of gold coins, Downton also found a dozen gold tickets, totaling up to fifteen thousand gold coins. If you think about it carefully, the one-eyed Han soldier is not a poor man, otherwise he would not have wanted to spend it in the first place.
One hundred thousand gold coins bought the tearing dragon's teeth.
"What a pity." Downton sighed. Once One Eye died, the huge sum of money he had in the bank would definitely become ownerless, and he would not be able to get it anyway.
In the next two days, in addition to meditating in the dormitory, Downton also took Arnold to practice sparring.
The living environment of barbarians is very difficult, so their fighting skills are also extremely fierce. As long as they take action, they will be killed or injured. After all, if they miss during hunting, it means the danger of death.
Although Harley saw it with hot eyes, he did not take action. As a paladin, he believed that the war should be stopped. He was a complete pacifist.
Chief Engineer Ram has also launched an offensive. Anyone who favors Downton will be punished. He wants to use this method to cut off Downton's wings and isolate him.
Downton did not sit still and waited for death. After discussing with Dofink, he selected a group of magicians from mercenaries and prisoners to serve as overseers.
There is no shortage of speculators in this world, especially those who previously had a relatively low status. They finally found an opportunity and want to seize it.
Fighting continues, with dozens of incidents occurring every day, but the mining volume at the mine has not decreased, because both Ram and Dofink will fill their pockets with ore, so they will never let the miners rest.
I have to say that this is a huge irony. No matter who wins in the end, the situation of the miners will not be greatly improved.
In the evening, after making sure that the big library was open, Downton returned to his dormitory after eating something.
The grimoire took out a container and opened it, revealing the magic stone inside. Then he took out ten magic red diamonds and placed them on top.
"Let's get started. I've asked Arnold and the demon servants to protect you, so you don't have to worry about being disturbed." Homer held the black pearl in his big bronze hand and sent it to Downton.
"Yeah!" Downton jumped onto the container, sat cross-legged, and then swallowed the black pearl, began to take deep breaths, calm down the chaotic emotions, and performed the holy angel meditation method.
The white soul angel appeared in the room, and after absorbing it vigorously, magic energy like light spots surged from all around, but more of it came from the magic stone.
The black pearls enter the stomach and gradually melt, making the body feel like soaking in a hot spring. The heat is very comfortable.
Downton had just filled his soul seeds with mana, and was about to follow the previous pace and continue to draw mana for the next level, but Black Pearl suddenly exerted his strength.
There is no pain, no wailing, just like being catalyzed. As the magic energy infected by the black pearl impacts the soul seed, its shell and impurities are like ice and snow exposed to sunlight, completely melting away, leaving only the most original seed.
core.
"So simple?" Downton was stunned.
"Don't be stunned, the elemental strike is coming!" As soon as the text was projected from the magic book, an arrow of holy light broke through the window and shot in. (To be continued...)
