Artificer Adventure Guide

"You want to refer to the method of the Mind Flayers to make slaves to control the Kelkin mud monster?"

After listening to Carl's method, Nia was a little surprised.

It's not that this method is not feasible, but it is surprisingly feasible.

Any life form may be controlled by psychic power, and the lower the intelligence, the easier it is.

But the Mind Flayers choose those with higher intelligence to work for themselves and serve as food reserves, while Carl does the opposite.

But this method is not without weaknesses. If the guys who master psychic power know about this, it is easy to trick Carl.

"Hehe, what if I also synchronize with the mud monster?"

With his hands crossed in front of his chest, Carl raised his head, looking like "I am so awesome".

"Hiss~"

Nia took a breath and looked at Carl with sparkling eyes.

Then, Nia asked with admiration:

"What if the opponent casts a relocation curse on you?"

Carl stopped laughing.

Looking at Carl squatting on the ground, Nia smiled secretly, stepped forward to comfort him and said:

"Hey! Isn't it just a little defect? ​​What can be perfect? ​​This is already very good!"

After a lot of soft and hard persuasion, Carl finally cheered up again.

Unfortunately, just when the two were about to carry out the next experiment, the trio of halfling, war forged and beastman came.

The dead war forged had been resurrected. Although his war forged body looked very strong, his life breath was abnormally weak.

"Manager! Thank you for saving my second brother's life!"

With two short swords on his waist, the halfling took the initiative to step forward to thank him.

The equipment on his body seemed to have dropped a grade directly. It seemed that this experience had caused them heavy losses.

"It's okay, I also do things for money. By the way, remember to come over after your body recovers. I am also going to let you experiment with the prosthesis for me."

After saying this to the war forged, the two sides chatted for a while, and then the trio left.

Judging from what the wolf-shaped beastman said, they seem to be planning to fight back and take revenge recently.

"Manager, can I go out and take some tasks when I have nothing to do?"

When the store returned to its quiet state, Ying came over carefully and asked Carl for his opinion.

"Of course!"

Carl still remembered the last time that Mitris had cheated him. He was already on guard against this drow and wanted her to leave his store right now.

The reason why he kept her was that Carl was afraid that the other party would be in trouble.

Of course, the other party's clumsy lifestyle was also one of the reasons why Carl was "soft-hearted".

He always felt that if the other party left here, he would have to sleep on the street.

Then, Ying stared at Carl straight, until Carl was scared, and he remembered that the other party's weapon was broken.

It didn't take much time, and Carl directly made a set of chain darts for Ying that were more convenient to use.

Watching the other party skillfully playing with this strange weapon, Carl suddenly felt a little itchy.

"Niya, do you want to go out with me and take an adventure? Don't worry, it's not far from the city."

Adventure and travel have many similarities.

Travel is not always smooth, and there will always be bad experiences, and the same is true for adventure.

But if you stay in the same place all the time, you always want to go to places you have never been to.

Looking at Carl's eager expression, how could Nia not know that Carl wanted to find a place to experiment with the effect of the metal slime monster.

After a moment of silence, Nia secretly noticed Ying, and then nodded and agreed.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the three appeared in the Adventurer's Guild in the city and formed an adventure team, preparing to go out of the city to hunt down the fugitives hiding in the nearby mountains and forests.

This is also a good opportunity to test Ying. If she has any plans, it will be easily exposed in the battle.

...

"Ga! Ga! Ga!"

In the evening, outside a village west of Akanix, Carl and the other two stopped at the entrance of the village, looking at the village with a blank expression.

There was a massacre here not long ago.

The dirt road was covered with dried blood, and carrion birds were pecking at the corpses, and the stench of corpses drifted far away.

Ying didn't react much to what she saw, she just kept staring at the fire in the village.

"What a bunch of beasts!"

Although he knew that things were not peaceful outside recently, Carl could never have imagined that it had developed to this point.

His face under the power armor was slightly distorted with anger. Carl took off his helmet and took out the can of metal Keljin mud monster and drank it all.

The cold touch went from the mouth along the esophagus to the stomach, and then quickly spread to the whole body.

The dragon pattern on Carl's shoulder emitted a more conspicuous light, and the Keljin mud monster merged with Carl in a special way.

With a thought, V completed the connection with the power armor, and a part of the liquid metal oozed out from Carl's skin, and then turned into two long swords in V's hands under the influence of Carl's psychic power.

This metal mud monster was destroyed by Carl's psychic power at noon, and now it obeys Carl's psychic power.

"Go!"

After exchanging a glance with Ying, the two with better mobility rushed towards the fire.

Carl's power armor was now in blue form, and he walked without making any sound.

As an assassin, Ying's movements were even more silent.

However, when the two approached, the bandits sitting around the campfire noticed their arrival.

The bandit leader who had just finished taking a rest drew his weapon and launched a jumping chop directly at Karl's hidden position.

But he chose the wrong opponent.

There was a "ping" sound, and a gap was made in the long knife that had been with the bandit leader for at least five years.

V, who was thinking in sync with Karl, stabbed him with a knife, stabbing him to the core.

The scene was extremely quiet. Neither party expected that the bandit leader would die like this.

"Leave no one alive!"

In the end, Karl, who was the first to react, said this to Ying, and then cut off the head of the bandit leader.

"Um."

After responding calmly and calmly, Shadow threw out his chain dart and instantly pierced the throat of a robber.

Her hands exuded faint psychic energy fluctuations. When a robber took advantage of her throwing out the chain dart to attack her, the psychic energy in her hands instantly transformed into a psychic blade, directly cutting the opponent's neck artery.

This battle did not last long, and the average level of those bandits was probably less than level 3.

"Wait a minute, something is wrong. The main force in this village should not be killed by this group of people."

When Karl and Shadow finished dealing with the battlefield, Nia, who was hiding in the dark, came over and reported the bad news to them.

"I found the footprints of a jackal nearby. This bandit might just be a subordinate of a group of stronger desperadoes."

Inexplicably, Karl thought of the battle that led to the death of the war warrior.

"There can't be too many forces outside the city, otherwise the city lord will directly ask for help from the academy. Maybe someone has already united those sporadic bandit forces. We can't go any deeper and go back to the city first!"

Making a quick judgment, Karl turned around and left with his two companions.

And things were roughly the same as they had judged. Not long after Karl and the others left, another group of bandits who were changing shifts discovered their dead companions.

They fled back to their current camp and informed their boss, a half-elf warrior, about the incident.

"waste!"

Slapping his palm on the table, the half-elf twisted his face in anger.

But what he was angry about was not that his men were killed, but that their lives were "wasted."

Behind him, a gnoll shaman was simmering a pot of something that smelled suspicious.

When he heard that the newly recruited men had died, a look of pity appeared on the wolf's face.

"If I had known earlier, it would be better for us to kill them directly. We still have more than ten lives left before we can start preparing for the sacrificial ceremony. Maybe if we are lucky, we can directly open the portal to a certain dungeon."

Saying this, the jackal filled a bowl of soup from the cauldron.

A robber leaned over to take it, and then forcefully gave it to a timid young man.

After the other party drank the bowl of soup, the robber carried him and walked down a newly excavated tunnel.

After a scream, the robber came up again and shook his head.

"We must speed up the progress! The forces from all sides are getting stronger and stronger against us. Now we are trapped here and unable to move. We cannot break out. If we want to survive, we can only try our luck and run to the underground city!"

After some calculation in his mind, the half-elf picked up the weapon on the side and called his men out of the camp.

He is a warrior with the Combat Master sub-professional profession. His absolute strength may not be as good as that of a champion warrior, but he is better at being able to cope with various environments and battle situations.

"How many villages are there around?"

Looking at his younger brother, he had a dull face and a cold tone.

"It's gone. All the ones we can find have been killed. The rest have either escaped or there are experts stationed here. We can't win..."

Before he finished speaking, the head of this level 2 warrior robber moved to another place.

The half-elf looked at the other subordinate and shouted: "Lead the way!"

Leading the way, naturally leads the way to those villages that are not easy to mess with.

The robber who witnessed the death of his companion was frightened, and then ran forward to lead the way with weak feet, fearing that the new boss would kill him if he disagreed.

Thinking of the days when he just relied on the terrain to collect caravan protection fees, the bandit couldn't help but feel sad.

"If I had known this was the case, I might as well have reported this murderer directly!"

He regretted and blamed himself, but the robber also knew that he could only think about it.

Soon, a group of people rushed towards a nearby village.

"Folks! The robbers have not been brought to justice yet. We must continue to strengthen our vigilance. Tonight, three of us brothers and sisters will guard the place. One person from each family will help watch. Once you find the enemy, shout quickly. The enemy is cunning and cruel. Don’t take it lightly!”

In the targeted village, the trio of halflings, war forged, and beast shifters were giving instructions to the villagers. Although the war forged was in poor condition, he still stood before the halfling with a big knife. behind.
