Chapter 356: Runes of the Dark World

After arriving at the Rogue Camp, Richard said goodbye to everyone and started to wander around the Rogue Camp. At this time, a large number of professionals gathered in the Rogue Camp. Of course, if it were in the game, they would be the people of destiny.

The camp is divided into four areas. The largest part is the gathering place for ordinary people. These people fled here from all over the place after the invasion of hell. They reclaimed the land in the camp, raised livestock, and provided logistics for the Rogue Camp.

Of course, they alone could not supply the Rogue Camp, so every three months, Warriv would go to other places to deliver supplies back, mostly potatoes, dried meat and dried fish.

On the left side of the area where ordinary people live is where professionals live. Blacksmith shops and shops are mostly gathered here. Opposite to it is the camp where Rogge trains. Next to the camp is the Sisters of the Blind Eye.

There were many people wearing black cloaks on the street. Richard could sense the power of the dead from them. It was obvious that they were all necromancers. Even in the Rogue Camp, necromancers did not seem to be very popular. After all, the weapons they used were either heads soaked in preservative liquid or dried heads.
This style of painting can be regarded as a horror movie.

However, these people should be quite strong. After all, when Richard played games before, the favorite of novices was the sea of ​​skeletons. A large group of skeleton warriors and skeleton mages, so they didn't have to fight by themselves.

Richard discovered that these necromancers were obviously richer than other professions. Of course, if it were a game, it would be fine, but reality is not friendly to necromancers, after all, there are heavy-tasting equipment such as corpse armor.
In addition to the Necromancer, the style of the Druid is not much better. After all, the Necromancer uses dried or preserved monster heads, while the Druids use fresh ones.
Except for Druid and Necromancer, the other professions are much more normal, and the most popular one is undoubtedly Paladin. Compared with Necromancer, Paladin is simply the chosen one, handsome, good-looking, polite, and the spell aura effect makes them very popular.

All I can say is that we are all destined to be people, but some are called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, while others are called Malo.

Richard wandered around the market for a while and soon discovered that the enchantments on the equipment here were very different from the enchantment knowledge he had mastered. The closest thing was the various rune enchantment knowledge in World of Warcraft. Perhaps these two worlds have some similarities.

In addition to this enchantment knowledge, the alchemy technology here is also very unique, especially those purple potions, which are rare instant recovery potions. Unfortunately, they are expensive. Richard wants to buy them and study them.

By the way, although his gold coins could not be circulated here, the magic gems were not affected. Richard stored a large number of magic gems in his personal space. He took out a few of them and exchanged them for tens of thousands of gold coins. Then he ran to Kidd to prepare for a "gamble", of course, the kind that was sure to win.

At this time, Kidd, who came here with the caravan, had already set up his stall: "Take a look, freshly arrived magic equipment!"

"I guarantee that they are all magic equipment, and there is a high chance of getting bright gold or dark gold equipment!"

"Five thousand gold coins each, five thousand each, five thousand each!"

"Five thousand won't buy you any loss, you won't buy you any fraud! But you can bet on a divine weapon once!"

Kidd was surrounded by a wide variety of equipment, all of which were uncertified and suitable for all kinds of professions, which attracted a lot of people.

Many people looked at the various equipment around Kidd and were hesitant. Richard walked forward and prepared to choose.

"Master Richard, do you want to buy one? If you buy a magic weapon, you can kill everyone!" Seeing Richard, Kidd hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, with a gleam in his eyes. Hehe, as expected, mages are all rich people. Those who said they have no money on the road are all lying. Now they can't help it, it seems that they will make a lot of money today.

"Let me take a look first. These are five thousand each, right?" Richard looked at the smiling Kidd and laughed secretly in his heart. This time he will make you lose everything to avenge the game that year.

Kidd had a lot of goods, but most of them were ordinary enchanted equipment, which basically sold for a few hundred gold coins in the blacksmith shop. But Kidd was very cunning, and he would prepare one or two bright gold and dark gold equipment every time.

So he didn't lie, but he prepared one dark gold item and ninety-nine pieces of junk equipment. He was a complete profiteer.

Soon Richard saw a necklace on Kidd's stall. The properties of the necklace were very simple, all skills +5, all resistances +10. Amazing, this necklace is completely worthy of graduation, Kidd was willing to put this necklace here.

Except for this necklace, all other equipment is garbage.

Richard didn't hesitate and spent 5,000 gold coins to buy the necklace. He then went straight to the appraisal and saw the dark gold light on the necklace, and Kidd's face turned green. This time when he bought the goods, he prepared a dark gold equipment, but it was bought by Richard right after the opening.

But the product has already been sold, so we can only rely on publicity.

"Dark gold necklace!"

"I told you there are dark gold equipment here, why are you still hesitating!" Kidd shouted.

Those who were still hesitating saw the dark golden light and were immediately tempted, and they all stepped forward to buy. Richard did not stop, but patted his butt and left.

Next he was going to meet Sister Akara who had the blind eye.

Sister Akara lives in a tent near the training ground of the Rogue Camp. She is the spiritual leader of the camp. Some medicines, vision scrolls and return scrolls are sold here.

"Stranger strong man, welcome here." After seeing Richard, Akara immediately felt the powerful magic in him and thought that Richard was a strong man from another place.

"Hello, Sister Akara." Richard looked at the nun in front of him. Akara looked to be in her thirties, with a kind face. She looked ordinary, but she could make people feel warmth and light.

"Stranger, can you tell me your name?"

"You can call me Richard." Richard looked at the furnishings in the tent. There were a large number of various potions and a lot of books on the bookshelf next to it. Richard's eyes lit up. These books were exactly what he needed.

Although Akara is a nun, she has deep knowledge of various potions, alchemy and enchantment. She can feel the amazing magic power contained in Richard's body.

"Sir Richard, as you can see, we are now invaded by demons and can only hide in the Rogue Camp. I would like to ask for your help in dealing with those demons. Of course, we are willing to pay you." After seeing the powerful magic power in Richard, Akara suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. It seemed that there was a force guiding her. The wizard in front of her was their hope.

It was like a ray of light suddenly appeared in the darkness, piercing through the darkness of the early morning and bringing the dawn.

"What can you offer as a reward?" Richard asked. "Whatever we have will do." Akara said.

Richard glanced at Akara, then said, "I need your enchantment books, as well as various knowledge about magic, potions, and alchemy."

Akara was very excited when she heard Richard's words, and she said quickly, "No problem. As long as you are willing to help us, we can give you all our enchantments, magic, potions, and alchemy books and knowledge."

"It's a wise choice." Richard said with a smile.

Then Akara told him all about the situation around the Blood Wasteland, as well as the information and maps of the cathedral and the boneyard. She also handed Richard the books on enchantment, alchemy, and potions in her hand.

Richard looked through these books and scanned them into the system's soul library. Akara's books contained basic knowledge of magic, runes, alchemy, etc. In addition to this knowledge, there were two very special kinds of knowledge, amulets and rune stones.

However, she only had intermediate and low-level knowledge, and it was not complete. The demon invasion was too sudden, and when they fled, they did not take many books with them.

Many books are still in the monastery, and Akara tells Richard where the books he wants are in the monastery.

"It's a pity that it was left in the monastery. I hope those demons can take good care of it." Richard said.

"Sir Richard, those demons are not interested in these books. The books should still be there."

"I'll go talk to those demons." Richard left the tent. Since he had already promised them, he naturally had to fulfill his promise.

Richard was playing with the dark gold necklace in his hand. He tried wearing it and found that the power on it could indeed bless him, but it could not bless spells that did not exist in this world.

In other words, the necklace's all-skill +5 effect can only enhance the skills of this world. Spells that do not exist, such as Hand of the Mage and Eternal Blazing Sun, are ineffective.

However, Richard not only mastered the skills of a mage, he also mastered the skills of other professions in this world, and modified and integrated them with the rules of this world, and then he found that these skills also gained bonuses.

Just like the skills he mastered, such as summon skeletons, summon skeleton mages, thorn halo, and brilliant aura, all got bonuses.

In this world, although Richard is a mage, many of the skills mastered by the arcane master are considered to be the skills of other professions. For example, the spells of the School of Necromancer are classified as the skills of the Necromancer, the aura skills are classified as the skills of the Paladin, and the nature spells are classified as the skills of the Druid.

After the system tower spirit terminal parsed part of the rules of this world, Richard modified some spells so that they could be cast in this world.

All levels +5 are effective for these spells, and according to the rules of this world, the power is increased by +5 levels.

Richard studied the runes on the necklace, but due to the lack of a lot of key knowledge, the analysis progress was very slow. As for the remaining resistance +10, it was elemental resistance and toxin resistance, and had no bonus effect on willpower and toughness.

But even so, the effect of this magic necklace is very good.

Richard left the Rogue Camp and headed towards the evil cave in the Blood Wasteland. After analyzing the rules, Richard directly summoned twenty skeletons and twenty skeleton mages.

In fact, Richard could continue to summon more skeletons, but forty skeletons could basically clear the first act.

Richard made a belt that automatically picked up money and equipment, and then led the mighty skeleton army into the bloody wasteland. Whether it was the hard-haired rats or the fallen demons, including the zombies, they had no power to fight back under the attack of the skeleton army. They were directly pushed flat by him.

With the map in hand, Richard soon arrived at the Evil Cave, an abandoned mine located in the Blood Wasteland. The cave was filled with a strong smell of death and sulfur, which was obviously the breath of the devil.

Richard led the skeletons into the cave and cast a light spell, and the monsters in the dark immediately launched an attack. However, these monsters could not even deal with the outermost skeletons.

The skeleton army quickly cleared out these demons, and a large amount of gold coins and medicines fell, which were then picked up by the belt. The skeleton army advanced all the way, and soon Richard saw a group of fallen demons dancing around a big pot.

There was a corpse of a Rogue boiling in the cauldron. Richard frowned upon seeing this and threw an ice storm over there. In an instant, dozens of Fallen Demons and Fallen Demon Wizards were all frozen into ice sculptures, along with the cauldron and the flames.

The next second, all the ice sculptures were instantly shattered into countless ice chips.

After dealing with these Fallen Demons, Richard sped up his pace and soon the entire mine was cleared out. The angry corpse faced twenty skeleton mages and was beaten into pieces before he could even take the second step.

Although he died miserably, his corpse still left behind some things: a large amulet and two pieces of bright gold equipment, but their attributes were average.

One of the two amulets increases HP by 10 points, and the other increases ice resistance by 5 points. Although the effect of the amulet addition is not very good, the enchantment technology used for this amulet is very good. Richard asked the system tower spirit to scan it and then conduct deduction and analysis.

After he flattened the evil cave, the dark and evil forces that originally surrounded the place began to subside.

However, in order to prevent these dark forces from making a comeback, Richard thoughtfully set up a rune array in the dark cave. With this rune array, it would not be so easy for those dark evil energies to invade again, unless their power exceeded Richard's.

After solving the evil cave, Richard then headed to the place outside the blood wasteland. He planned to complete the first act as quickly as possible. Then he went to the cathedral and Tristram Abbey to look for those books.

Oh, and there's also the Horadric Cube. Richard is still very interested in the most special treasure in the world, the Horadric Cube. This box was made by an ancient alchemist. As long as you follow a certain formula, you can perform enchantment, alchemy, and medicine.

Even if you don't know alchemy, you can still become a master alchemist. Richard doesn't want to miss this treasure.
