Artificer Adventure Guide

"Puff! Damn! It's too heavy!"

The ordinary wild boars in this forest are 1.6 meters tall when they are on all fours. Although the skeleton wild boar king, which is bigger than them, has only a little meat on his body, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and its weight is still not comparable to Carl's.

After a short stalemate, Carl was pushed away by the opponent.

The shock absorption system of the power armor reduced the impact force Carl suffered to the minimum, but Carl still felt a little uncomfortable in his internal organs.

Lisanna and V in the distance also launched an attack on the skeleton wild boar king at this time, but this guy's resistance to frost energy is too high, and V's attack is not very effective.

"Lisanna! You find a way to deal with those wild boar corpses first, and leave this guy to me!"

As he said, Carl chanted a spell.

Emerald green flames emerged from the long sword, and Carl embedded the long sword into the shield with a "click", and the flames immediately expanded to the entire shield axe.

The atmosphere in the forest became much more tense, and even the sound of flying birds disappeared around, as if only Carl and his friends were left in the entire forest.

A dead leaf from last year fell from the sky, and Carl and the Skeleton Boar King ran out with all their strength as if they had heard the starting gun of track and field athletes.

"Clang!"

The shield axe burning with emerald flames was dragged on the ground, and the friction sound of stones sounded from time to time, making people uncomfortable.

In the blink of an eye, Carl and the Skeleton Boar King were about to collide again.

However, Carl abandoned defense this time, and the shield axe dragged on the ground was swung out by him with the power armor.

This was the special skill of Guan Erye that he had seen in the novels of his previous life. Although it was not used with the Red Hare, Carl felt that the power of his power armor could make up for it a little.

"Ping!"

The shield axe made of the material of the fire giant armor was of amazing quality. The axe blade actually cut off one of the tusks of the Skeleton Boar King directly, and continued to lift it from the lower right to the upper left with an unstoppable posture.

The effect of the 0-level spell Emerald Flame Sword erupted at this moment, and the emerald flames began to spread along the position where the axe blade split, almost covering half of the Skeleton Boar King's body.

Unfortunately, Carl's caster level was only level 4.

The flames burned quickly and disappeared quickly.

After burning most of the skeleton of the Skeleton Boar King black, they disappeared.

First, the fangs were cut off, and then they were burned by fire.

The ferocity of the Skeleton Boar King was almost boiling at this moment.

If he was still alive, Carl would be able to see a huge wild boar spewing white mist from its mouth and nose, staring at him with bloodshot eyes.

"Sure enough, offense is the best defense. I already have this power armor for protection, why do I need a shield!"

Seeing that his tactics worked, Carl's face was happy.

During this winter vacation, he also took the time to learn the training techniques of [Giant Weapon Master] from his father, but learning this "non-basic expertise" is much more difficult.

Just as Carl was happy about the success of his tactics, the Skeleton Boar King, whose skull had a gap, stomped heavily on the ground.

The thumping sound spread far through the ground, but nothing happened around.

"Playing tricks!"

Carl activated the dragon crystal and jumped high with the help of the jet.

After performing the Thunder Sword trick in mid-air, he canceled the fire element jet and chopped at the Skeleton Boar King with the help of gravitational potential energy.

This undead was also stubborn. Seeing Carl attacking, he didn't even avoid it.

The axe blade chopped down, and its skull was split in half.

The soul fire dissipated, and the huge body suddenly turned into a pile of skeletons.

On the other side, Lisanna's battle with the wild boar corpses was about to end.

The movements of these corpses were far inferior to those of ordinary wild boars, but they didn't have many vital points, so it took Lisanna a lot of effort.

When Carl joined the battle, the two quickly won the final victory.

"Huh~, this is killing me. I wasted so much energy on these money-losing things. I've used up all my spell slots!"

Wipe the sweat off her forehead, Lisanna lifted the body of the wild boar corpse, very angry.

"Then you're wrong.

V! Put them in this dimensional bag and sell them to the Necromancer School as experimental materials when you go back!"

Taking out a new dimensional bag from the power armor, Carl didn't even let go of the skeletons and mummies.

"Do necromancers take these?"

"Of course! Animating corpses is a third-level spell. Before that, they have to find suitable materials to practice! These beasts are good practice materials."

Hearing that these things can be exchanged for money, Lisanna helped V stuff the remaining wild boar into the dimensional bag.

This dimensional bag is also the type with a larger opening. Carl always makes the opening of the dimensional bag very large after what happened in the dungeon to prevent the stored items from not being able to fit in.

"Then do we need to go back to the farm?"

"No! Let's go back to the city. The association will be responsible for counting the prey and settling the rewards. Why go back to the farm?"

Controlling V to turn into a motorcycle again, Carl sat on the seat again and drove Lisanna towards the city of Akanix.

Behind the trees in the distance, several pale translucent figures watched Carl and the others leave without any reaction.

Their figures were slightly glowing, vaguely reflecting their characteristics when they were alive.

The disheveled hair covered her face, and her body was surrounded by fluttering rags.

Banshees, the remnants of an undead creature of the elves.

They were once blessed with moving beauty, but failed to bring joy to the world with this talent, and instead used their beauty to corrupt and manipulate others.

Apparently, the Skeleton Boar King was not shaking the ground in incompetent rage just now, but to keep them away from the battlefield.

After confirming that Carl had left, several banshees floated back to the depths of the forest.

There, female skeletons equal to the number of banshees were used as nodes to outline a kind of magic circle, and a coffin was half buried in the soil, shaking from time to time.

…

Back to the Adventurer's Guild in the city of Akanix, Carl handed in the mission target, and then received a reward of 2 gold coins and 60 silver coins at the price of 20 silver coins per wild boar.

The receptionist who was interested in Carl before had changed shifts. After handing in 13 fangs as proof, Carl left the association with Lisanna.

"By the way, Brother Karl, weren't you worried that the Emerald Claws were causing trouble in the forest? Why are you leaving now?"

"Because according to the Emerald Claws' style of doing things, if they create undead, they must create Karrnath Undead Soldiers or Skeleton Knights. The wild boars are obviously infected by negative energy and transformed naturally."

"What should we do with those farmers?"

"What do you mean? I've told them everything I can think of. Do I have to help them search the entire forest? We are not babysitters. We can just remind them if we see something wrong. Why are you still in charge? How can you be so carefree!

Besides, we have been away for so long, they have plenty of time to go to the association to change the task and increase the reward, but the price of a wild boar is still 20 silver coins.

See! This is their little trick.

If we had gone to the farm to submit the task before, maybe those wild boars would have been left behind."
