The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 053: Macho Belt

night.

The backyard of the Charcoal Inn.

The place was bustling with people.

The elegant and clear scale of the lute, accompanied by the crackling sound of the campfire and the sizzling sound of the barbecue, seems to bring a touch of the salty and sweet flavor of fireworks.

Barrels of beer were carried out from the cellar by the waiters.

People in different clothes cheered and celebrated this rare night.

In the corner.

Next to a separate barbecue grill.

Large pieces of beef and a whole rack of lamb were constantly being turned over.

Roger skillfully coated the ingredients with honey and sauce.

There was a gurgling sound of swallowing saliva coming from the side.

"I think it's ready to eat."

Rachel looked around for a moment, then whispered with a serious expression.

"Here, eat this first."

Roger didn't make things difficult for the hungry girl and handed her a sausage.

Rachel bit off half of it in one bite.

The sweet and greasy yellow juice splashed out and splashed onto her face. The girl nimbly stuck out her tongue and licked it clean in no time.

After eating a whole sausage, Rachel looked at .

Roger smiled and advised gently:

"Wait a little longer."

“This just came out.”

Rachel's cheeks puffed up slightly, but she nodded seriously.

In the backyard, the bard holding the lute raised his hand.

The style of the music suddenly changed from melodious to cheerful.

Some people dressed as adventurers whistled, and some danced wildly.

Even Roger couldn't help but speed up his skills.

Everything seemed so cheerful.

As if she had noticed Roger's change of mood, Rachel took the initiative to speak:

“Paramount Manor is a great place.”

Roger nodded.

He already felt it.

“Can you tell me the story of Paramount Manor?”

"And there is the lord that everyone praises so highly."

Roger asked quietly.

Rachel looked at the rosy white lamb chops and said with a serious face:

"Then I'll give it a try."

Through the girl's unique and straightforward narration, Roger got a general understanding of this land.

…

Paramount Manor consists of more than twenty nearby farms and the "Dawn Town".

The lord's name is "Alan Dominic", and he is recognized as a hero by the local residents.

From an existential threat perspective.

The abundance of magic here is about the same as that in Tongma Town. It is a rare magic depression in Mistra - this means relatively few monsters and suitable water and soil for living.

It also means that this area can support a larger population.

From a geographical point of view.

The manor is separated from the Gem City by only a river to the south.

The north borders on sparsely populated swamps.

To the northwest are sparsely populated mountains.

To the east is the bustling "Knights Avenue".

All the adventurers from the north gathered here.

They needed to cross the bridge over the Serra River to reach the Gem City.

This created the necessary conditions for the prosperity of the manor.

…

"Anyway, everything is good here."

After finishing a piece of lamb chop, Rachel carefully licked the honey on her fingers before continuing:

"Except Jonny Stottle."

"Jonny Turtle?"

Roger took a sip of the hotel's homemade tree-infused drink and couldn't help burping several times.

"A very troublesome monster that you can easily encounter."

Rachel grabbed another piece of lamb chop and started to eat it happily.

Roger laughed and asked casually:

“Since this place is so good, why don’t you consider settling here?”

Rachel answered vaguely:

"If I settle here, what about the adventurers who pass by Yellowstone Island?"

“There’s no one to pick them up.”

Roger's heart moved:

"You plan to stay on Yellowstone Island?"

Rachel said "uh-huh" in affirmation.

Roger was a little surprised, he thought Rachel would leave with Cindy and the others.

"That's my home."

The girl finally opened her mouth to speak.

Roger nodded slightly and put down his cutlery.

The atmosphere in the yard became more lively.

It seems that a young man proposed to his childhood sweetheart.

The crowd laughed and cheered, surrounding the two of them.

Listen to other people's descriptions.

The girl with the red face is the niece of the owner of the charcoal inn.

The young man is the second son of the owner of Tiger Farm.

I just passed the knight certification assessment in Shuguang Town a few days ago, and my future is bright.

The two finally hugged each other and kissed deeply.

The atmosphere reached its climax.

"I'm stuffed."

Rachel looked at the bustling crowd expressionlessly, her hands involuntarily rubbing her bulging belly.

After a while.

She looked at Roger with her bright eyes and said:

"You are the first adventurer to treat me to a barbecue."

"Thank you."

Roger stood up and smiled:

"You're welcome."

…

Late at night. In the hotel room.

Placing the huge crucible at the head of the bed, Roger began to move things out one by one.

He is on the road these days.

Only at this point did he have the chance to count the remaining spoils.

Compared to other refugees from the marshlands, Humphrey was extremely rich.

Roger found three gold discs, 135 silver coins, and a large number of copper orders in his bedroom.

The conversion is based on the ratio of 1 gold disc to 10,000 copper tokens.

Roger is now considered a wealthy adventurer.

But monetary resources are only the tip of the iceberg of Humphrey's impressive wealth.

In the big house, Roger found a lot of equipment and props.

After careful selection.

He took away 2 rings, 1 set of heavy armor, 1 belt, 3 books, a bundle of "Forbidden Item Identification Scrolls", and some other miscellaneous items.

These spoils took up most of the storage bag in the Crucible, forcing Roger to sigh, "It turns out that a backpack is not enough no matter how many slots there are."

First, the two rings.

Even in the dim candlelight, Roger could see the simple arcane runes on the ring.

…

「Asgard Ring (Set 1/6)」

「Rating: SS」

"Attribute: Charm +1"

"Special effect: All damage you take is reduced by 4%"

…

"Ring of Scamora"

「Rating: SS」

"Attribute: Intelligence +1"

"Enchantment: Summon Venomous Snake"

"Summon poisonous snakes: A second-level spell. You can summon a large number of poisonous snakes in a designated area to attack the enemy. The type and grade of the poisonous snakes depends on your intelligence."

…

They are all top-notch rings.

In Roger's opinion, no matter what their special effects and enchantment effects are, as long as they are equipment that directly adds attributes, they can be directly raised to the S+ threshold.

What's more, the effects of both are not bad.

Although both use the Ninth Spell of Mystra as activation force, the "Ring of Skamora" is much more reliable than the Suicide Ring.

Not only can you summon poisonous snakes repeatedly, but you don't have to worry about whether they will turn against you.

The enchantment takes half an hour to charge.

This meant Roger could play with the snake when he had nothing else to do.

The effect of the "Asgard Ring" is even more addictive.

"Comprehensive damage reduction is too overbearing."

"After assembling the six-piece set of the Asgard, you can get a 40% overall damage reduction."

“I just don’t know where to find the remaining parts.”

Roger put on the two rings without saying a word.

One on the left and one on the right is just right.

Next comes the thick belt.
