Chapter 57: Forgotten Tower
"Hello, friend. My name is Tiger, and these are my brothers Big Bear, White Ape, and Jackal." The knight came up and greeted Tiger in a friendly manner, and the four of them expressed gratitude to Ma Yingjie.
"Hello, my name is Shadow, nice to meet you."
"Shadow, thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, we would not only fail to defeat the boss monster this time, but also lose our level. To express our gratitude, please accept this robe." The knight said sincerely.
System prompt: Player Tiger requests to trade with you, do you accept?
"You're welcome." Lu Hao generously clicked to accept. He helped them a lot, so it was not too much to take a piece of equipment that he could wear. Besides, there were two pieces of gold equipment.
Seeing that Ma Yingjie did not refuse but accepted it very generously, several people had a better impression of Ma Yingjie.
He immediately took off the Purple Star Robe on his body. Although it had not been identified yet, its attributes were already quite good. Compared to the low-level Purple Star Robe, this could be considered a top-grade item.
"As it should be, the four of us at level one are not worth even one piece of gold equipment." The white ape said, he was very curious about Ma Yingjie: "By the way, are you the necromancer who caused a lot of noise on the forum some time ago?"
"It's me. I just taught a few people who were plotting against my brother a lesson. Who would have thought that some bored people would make a video of it and upload it to the forum." Ma Yingjie spoke the truth. He didn't have a good impression of these groundless war correspondents.
"Haha, you haven't shown off yet. You were only at that level, and yet you single-handedly challenged several people." Knight Tiger laughed.
"By the way, this place is so dangerous. Your team doesn't even have a priest, so why did you come here?" Lu Hao felt strange. Which player would come to a map like this where ordinary monsters are more than ten levels higher than players for no reason?
"We have accepted a troublesome mission, which requires us to kill the Undead Dance Ninja at the end of the mission. If we had known it would be so dangerous, we would have waited a while before coming back." The Assassin Jackal said bluntly.
"So that's how it is. I wish you good luck." Ma Yingjie consciously did not ask any further questions. This was a taboo in the game. It was better not to ask about secrets that others had not revealed on their own initiative.
"Shadow, how did you appear here? You must have just changed your job, right?" the white ape asked doubtfully. In the attack just now, Lu Hao did not use any job-changing skills, but he was able to equip the level 40 equipment immediately after getting it. It should be that he had just upgraded not long ago and had not had time to complete the job-changing task.
"Help a friend do a special task." Ma Yingjie said with a little concealment, but he didn't say who the friend was or what the task was.
"That must be a great mission, coming to the Land of the Dead." The Assassin Jackal interrupted again, but was interrupted by a cough from the Knight Tiger.
Although Ma Yingjie had just saved them, he still couldn't talk to people he wasn't familiar with. If he wanted to completely integrate into a team, he had to be fully recognized by everyone in the team.
System prompt: Player Tiger requests to add you as a friend, do you accept?
"Accept it." Looking at the happy faces of the Tiger brothers, Ma Hao chose to accept it. He went forward to join in the fun just to get to know these people. As for the golden robe, it was purely an accidental gain.
"Shadow, we have to go back to hand in the mission, what about you?" Big Bear said carelessly, his armor shining with metallic luster looking a little psychedelic in the dim sky.
"No, I'll upgrade my level."
"If you don't mind, you can come to us if you need any help in the future. We will do our best to help you." Tiger looked at Ma Yingjie sincerely and said.
"Yes." Ma Yingjie nodded.
After bidding farewell to the four people, Lu Hao continued his adventure. Since the speed and density of the Shattered Warriors inside were much higher than those outside, Lu Hao's pace of going deeper gradually tended to be slower.
Lu Hao continued to do the work of a nanny, and after casting the Weakness and Slowness spells, he used the Light of Death to kiss the Shattered Warrior. After replacing the Devil May Cry Staff, Lu Hao's single-target magic attack power reached 510. With the bonus of the Devil May Cry Staff and equipment, Lu Hao's single-target attack using the Light of Death broke through the 700 mark.
The attack is high enough, but the mage's fragile defense is also fully reflected. So far, Lu Hao's defense plus all equipment bonuses is only about 50. After removing the % immunity of the ring, each attack will still take away more than points of Lu Hao's blood.
You have to know that Lu Hao, who has never added any strength, has only just exceeded 600 health points. If a thief gets close to him, he will die after a few skills.
After the Black Knight shot a Shattered Warrior, Ma Yingjie came to a small earthen slope. Through the dim air, he could vaguely see a tall tower standing obliquely not far away.
With an idea in his mind, Ma Yingjie cleaned up in the direction of the high tower. After entering the area where the high tower was located, he received a special message from the system.
System prompt: You discovered the Forgotten Tower, gained 5000 experience and 200 reputation.
Looking at the tower that appeared in front of me, the tower body was tilted greatly, and the tall spire was inserted obliquely into the dark clouds. The original color of the tower body could no longer be seen. In the relatively well-preserved areas, there were some incomplete wall paintings that seemed to be some kind of ancient spells and various styles of magic circles.
It turns out that this tower is called the Forgotten Tower. Looking at the standard equipment of a magician's monastery, Ma Hao felt that this should be a magic tower. As for why it is called the Forgotten Tower, it is just like the names of people, each has its own meaning.
There were many Shattered Warriors wandering on the road leading to the entrance of the Forgotten Tower. Lu Hao commanded the puppet team to clean up these moving warriors. After clearing out these Shattered Warriors that were hindering the movement, Lu Hao came to the tower gate.
The closer he got, the clearer it was. The floor was paved with some unknown stone, but it gave him a cool and refreshing feeling when he stepped on it. There was a magic circle engraved on the ground that Ma Yingjie didn't recognize, but judging from the refreshing coolness of the ground, it should be some kind of ice magic.
The two tower doors were swaying in the smelly wind, and there were a lot of spider webs gathered on the door knockers. Judging from these scenes, no one has been here for a long time.
With a creaking sound, the dilapidated door of the Forgotten Tower was pushed open, and a desolate scene came into view.
A large number of human skeletons were lying on the ground in all directions. Judging from the fact that they were spread all over the first floor of the tower, there were at least hundreds of them.
There were some weapons around them, a few of them were holding a staff in their hands, and some skeletons were covered with a layer of armor.
Ma Yingjie reached out and grabbed a piece of armor that was shining with golden light, and silently prayed to Satan in his heart: "Golden equipment, it must be golden equipment."
As soon as his fingers touched the glittering golden armor, it turned into dust and filled the air.
It turned out that the armor had decayed after years of erosion. When Ma Yingjie touched it, it could no longer maintain its original shape and turned into ashes.
"Damn it, I was so happy for nothing, it turns out it's made of foam." Lu Hao cursed in a low voice and casually reached for the staff next to him. What made Lu Hao happy was that the staff did not turn into ashes like the armor, but the empty attributes on it also made Lu Hao lose interest in picking it up again.
[Staff of Triumph] (Quest Item) The equipment of the Royal Guards of Korthus City. Prince Korthus spent ten years of tax revenue from Korthus City to equip his Royal Guards with a full set of gold equipment. At that time, it was known as the most powerful army on the continent.
Later, during the dark invasion, the Castle of Korthus was besieged by the Undead Legion. Prince Karsas, who was outnumbered, led 800 guards to defend the castle to the death, but they failed in the end and perished in the Forgotten Tower. This once world-famous Guards Corps disappeared from the sight of the world.
No wonder the system was confident in placing so many gold equipment here. It turned out that these were just used as scenes, which made Lu Hao happy for nothing. If these gold equipment were not all quest items, Lu Hao could become rich and well-off by relying on the gold equipment in this tower.
Ahem, let's find out if there is anything we can take away. The system is not an idiot and will certainly not do such a thing. Right now, there are only a handful of gold equipment produced in the entire Chinese region.
At this moment, a sound that made people's ears numb was heard, and the door leading to the second floor was pushed open from the inside. Ma Yingjie looked in one direction and saw a skinny figure swaying in the candlelight on the wall.
