"Always be ready!" Downton made a fist, bent his arm, and showed off his muscles.
"With your current soul seed strength, the released soul power can completely control three ghouls. Four can barely control it, but there is a risk of rebellion at any time." Homer reminded, "I suggest that it is better to be safe.
"
"It's better to have four. Even if they rebel, they are just trash fish and not much of a threat." Downton calculated the benefits of bringing four ghoul servants and found that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, so he rejected Homer's proposal.
"Whatever!" Homer just reported the hidden danger. As for the choice, it was in Downton's hands, and bringing a 'ticking bomb' would also make him more cautious.
"Three of them wear heavy armor and are used as human shields. One wears leather armor to ensure sufficient movement speed and is responsible for filling in for emergencies!" Downton thought about how to maximize the value of the demon servants.
"If you are a supervisor, you must be the most evil-minded. It would be unlucky for a ghoul to meet a master like you." Homer teased and urged, "Hurry up and tell a story!"
Grimoire has a literary style in his heart, and he is completely a poet, so he is very fond of and obsessed with "Romeon and Juliet".
"Don't worry, there are still questions." Downton's answer made Celes pouted in dissatisfaction, "The equipment in the weapon shop is still not good enough. The road to the armory has not been opened yet, right?"
The quality of the demon servants themselves has been finalized. In order to increase their combat effectiveness, Downton can only find ways elsewhere. These unintelligent guys can't use magic accessories, so the only thing left is to replace them with better armors and hooks to make them more powerful.
Durable.
The equipment in the weapon shop is too small, there is no choice at all, and there is no maintenance. Although it is a sophisticated grade, if you really want to calculate it, it is not up to this level.
Every city has an armory. In addition to dealing with the daily training losses of soldiers, it also has to prepare reserves for a sudden war, so a large amount of armor and weapons are generally stored.
With Celes as his guide, Downton's search for the armory was as easy as crushing an ant, but the ghouls on the street were more annoying.
Downton needs to kill them in advance, otherwise he will definitely get dumped if he lures nearby undead monsters into the armory and encounters a battle.
"It's been cleaned up," Homer informed. "By the way, the road to the bank is basically open."
"After getting the equipment, go to the bank." Downton brought lunch, "Eat quickly, and take action after eating."
"But what about Juliet?"
Although the cooked caviar and candied foie gras were so delicious that Celeste almost swallowed them when she ate them, the story was still going on when Romeo walked through Capulet's orchard and fell in love with Juliet at first sight. The Banshee of Death couldn't wait to know what happened.
Will lovers stay together?
"After I finish conquering the bank, I will tell you about it for three days and three nights. By the way, I will also tell you about "The Count of Monte Cristo". I guarantee it will be super fun."
Downton quickly swept away the food and made his promise. In fact, he had nothing to do, time was too tight.
Through Celes' inquiries, Downton learned about the Robinson trio. They were attacking the Mage Tower. After killing the three constructs guarding the tower, they had captured the bottom three floors and were currently preparing to move towards the tower.
Head to the top of the tower.
The towering Mage Tower is very gorgeous. Just looking at this appearance proves that its owner is extraordinary. As for its own value, it is at least worth one-fifth of the city's wealth.
If the Robinson trio hadn't been distracted by the prospect of taking down the Wizard's Tower, Downton would have been discovered long ago even if he had chosen to stay away from the city to kill the ghouls.
Once the three Robinsons' offensive is frustrated, they will definitely turn to other valuable buildings to try. Then Downton will inevitably fall into crisis, so there is not much time left for him.
"I must save enough money before them. Not only must I protect myself, but I must also turn the tables, kill them, and take over this dungeon." Downton put down his knife and spoke firmly, cheering himself up in his heart.
If you don't want to live like a humble ant, you must seize this opportunity and fight hard!
"I will help you!" Celes was infected by Downton's statement. She looked at him sitting there with his upper body straightened and his lips pursed. She felt that he was simply full of charm.
"The mentality is good." Homer agreed, "But after all this is over, you have to compensate for at least two stories, and the quality cannot be lower than Hamlet."
"You might as well kill me." Downton wailed. If he hadn't read some classics in his dreams and memorized many of them, he would have been unable to cope with the grimoires. This guy's demands were too high.
The armory is in the south of the city, about twenty minutes away from the bakery where Downton is hiding. Although the ghouls wandering on the road have been cleared away, he is still cautious.
Celes held the grimoire to her chest and floated fifty meters ahead, acting as a scout.
Downton held an oil lamp in his left hand and an ogre saber in his right hand, leaning against the wall, moving silently like a wild cat.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
On the dim underground city street, Downton's figure was illuminated by the oil lamp and fell to the ground, shaking in the dark like a ghost.
Downton memorized the route and was wary of the surroundings. He was already used to the smell floating in the air.
Celes suddenly stopped at a fork in the road. After observing for a few seconds, she took out a luminous stone and drew a large circle.
Ghouls are very sensitive to sounds, so Downton and the Death Banshee have agreed on a number of secret codes, which represent the discovery of enemies.
Without hesitation, Downton ran over and saw the wandering ghoul. He quickly handed the weapon and oil lamp to Celes.
After softly chanting the incantation of repentance for the dead, Downton raised his left hand, and a golden long bow appeared. With his right hand, he pulled the bow string into a full circle, and the light spots immediately condensed into a long arrow.
Phew, the arrow shot out and hit the ghoul in the head.
Downton quickly picked up his saber to deal with the undead monster who failed to repent.
The imaginary running attack did not come. After being hit by the arrow, the ghoul froze on the spot.
"The success rate seems to be higher?" Downton gave the order and called the ghoul over, "From now on, you will be number five."
Taking out a spare set of armor, Downton armed No. 5 and turned it into a tin can.
"Your soul power has increased, so you can naturally suppress it a little bit when dealing with these miscellaneous fish." Homer's common sense.
"Then can I confess to being a low-level ghoul? It doesn't have to be too strong, just equivalent to the first level of the soul." Downton felt that the oil lamp was too bright, so he made the flames inside smaller.
"The failure rate will be very high, and the chance of rebellion will be too high." Homer does not advise Downton to play with fire. In a dangerous dungeon, such hidden dangers may cost him his life.
Downton gave up, and then asked Number Four, which was almost used up, to follow Celes in order to cope with sudden crises and at the same time exert its last remaining value.
After passing through some crossroads and walking through more than a dozen silent streets, the uneven civilian buildings suddenly disappeared from Downton's field of vision, and were replaced by a large warehouse area, neatly arranged, like soldiers waiting for review.
.
The armory has arrived!
Due to their long disrepair, these buildings without exception have a dilapidated atmosphere, with the walls peeling off, and only the vines spreading everywhere still have a trace of vitality.
After spending a little effort, Downton found the rusty iron door. He didn't push it open, but climbed up the wall next to it.
"Found a ghoul!" Celes was floating beside her. Just as she was about to point out her hand, Downton held her head and pushed her down.
"I saw it, be careful!" Downton took off his backpack, which was bulging with supplies, and took out a crossbow from it. He was stringing it while observing the environment.
This is a rectangular camp with a bluestone floor. The two-story wooden building on the left should be the residence of the guards. Directly in front is the warehouse, nearly fifty meters away from the iron gate.
There were twenty-six ghouls wandering in the camp, and they were naturally transformed by the dead guards. Some of them were still wearing armor, which was obviously not taken off when they died.
"There are three low-level ones, which are quite troublesome, so be careful." Homer released the magic detection and reported the level. It judged that the strength of the three should be around the second level of the soul, but it did not say it out.
This value is just a prediction. Even with the experience and power of the grimoire, it cannot be accurately estimated. Moreover, even at the same level, the strength will vary greatly, not to mention that even among the Warcraft, there are some that can be killed beyond the level.
The powerful presence of the enemy.
Homer doesn't want Downton to develop the habit of relying on it. The real battle should be to encounter the enemy, and then use various means to test and obtain as much information about the opponent as possible. Based on this, he can judge the opponent's strength and then make a decision.
Fight or retreat, and what tactics to use to win or escape safely.
Of course, it is easier said than done. After all, the battle situation is changing rapidly. What is tested at this time is the overall quality of the magic user.
"Got it." Downton showed no intention of backing down and immediately thought about how to break the situation.
"At all times, you must have a trump card." Homer, who is indeed the perfect textbook, took the opportunity to teach, "In many planes, there are always some insidious and cunning beings, such as the God of Shadows, the Queen of the Spiders, and those
The devil in hell likes to hide his strength and hides all kinds of trump cards, which will never be revealed until the moment of life and death."
Celes was very nervous. She had killed low-level ghouls before, but not more than two, and their strength was low. This was the first time she encountered this situation.
"Celeste, your mission is to slow down those miscellaneous fish ghouls and buy me time. If they all surround me, try to disperse them as much as possible." Downton began to assign the task, "You must remember,
It must be suspended in the air, and no matter what happens to me, I am not allowed to get close to support me!"
