The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 27 The Early Bird Flies First
There is no time to check the changes in the data column.
Roger rolled over and jumped down, pouncing on another gray dwarf.
Although the previous assassination attempt on Gray was sufficiently covert, the latter's violent struggle immediately attracted the attention of his companions - this shows that the gray dwarf itself possesses extremely high toughness.
The other gray dwarf held a short crossbow in his hand.
Seeing Roger rushing towards it, it raised its hand and shot an arrow without saying a word!
But the distance between the two sides was too close, and the arrow hit nowhere.
The gray dwarf anxiously and clumsily pulled the trigger, apparently trying to load another crossbow.
But Roger won't give him another chance.
He adjusted the angle in mid-air, and then raised his hand -
A bundle of magic ropes was thrown out from his palm and quickly circled around the gray dwarf several times.
Accompanied by a simple short spell.
The magic rope automatically tied up the gray dwarf like a python.
This bundle of magic rope was obtained by Roger from the blood mage apprentice.
The spells used are also from the series "Mystra's Popular Spells and Spells".
The only difference is that the ring uses the ninth spell, while the magic rope uses the fourth spell.
Seeing that the control of the magic rope was very effective, Roger did not hesitate. He pulled the end of the magic rope around a branch on one side and then jumped under the tree.
The gray dwarf let out a terrible wail and was immediately hung on the tree like a smoked duck.
The sound soon alarmed the gray dwarves on the shore.
Roger stood firmly on his feet and tied the magic rope to the locust tree.
Then he took out the "little finger".
Fill it with pebbles, draw the bow gently, aim at the duergar's mouth, and let go.
This series of actions can be said to be done in one go.
The next second, the barely audible sound of teeth breaking was heard.
The gray dwarf's cries also became fragmented.
Having achieved his goal, Roger climbed up the old locust tree again from the other side.
He chose a relatively hidden branch and activated the skill "Hide".
…
On the shore, the three gray dwarves were a little confused.
Their eyesight was very poor, and they could not see their companion's specific situation at all from this position. They could only hear him shouting.
Unfortunately, this guy had a loose tooth, so even from a distance, I couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.
The three of them were annoyed by the shouting and decided to go over to see what was going on.
If you go by land, you have to go around a long way.
The irritable gray dwarves naturally prepared to swim over.
The gray dwarf hanging on the tree saw this scene in a daze and shouted even more anxiously!
Unfortunately, his companions could not understand his anxiety. Instead, they swam harder because of his roar.
Roger's figure quietly appeared on the old locust tree.
In his hand, he held the short crossbow he had picked up from the dead gray dwarf.
The next second, he lightly pulled the trigger of the crossbow.
With a "whoosh" sound, it successfully took the life of a gray dwarf.
The crossbow was slowly stringing, but Roger was not in a hurry.
He sat on the tree and slowly tuned the string.
At this moment, the gray dwarf in the water had realized that something was wrong.
But they have no way out!
If we continue forward, we will undoubtedly become a sitting duck.
Going ashore was also a joke.
It is in the torment of this death choice.
Roger killed all the gray dwarves easily.
…
Then comes the wonderful loot collecting time.
The most valuable items on the gray dwarves are the crossbows and crossbow arrows, and their properties are as follows:
…
"Gray Dwarf's Simple Crossbow"
「Rating: A」
「Texture 3 Elasticity 7 Toughness 6 Balance 3」
…
"Simple Piercing Arrow (Poisoned)"
「Rating: A」
「Texture 3, Piercing 6, Durability 2, Balance 4」
…
Roger found a total of 4 crossbows and 18 poisoned piercing arrows.
If this were sold in Tongma Town, it would definitely fetch a huge sum of money.
This short crossbow has a very low entry threshold.
Even a beginner can use it to shoot and kill an adventurer who is many times stronger than himself.
At medium and short distances, the crossbow's lethality is extremely terrifying, not to mention that it is poisoned.
The only downside to this thing is that it's too bulky.
If you are not an experienced person, it takes one second to shoot an arrow and half a minute to load a crossbow.
"Rachel was lucky. The one who attacked her was a refugee. He must have just received the crossbow and piercing arrows from the gray dwarves and had not had time to poison them."
Looking at the slightly green color on the arrow in the moonlight, Roger became more cautious.
The duergar of the marsh are indeed a powerful group of prey.
The fact that almost everyone can own an expensive short crossbow shows that their tribe has rich mineral resources and mature smelting technology.
Consider also the mobilization and execution capabilities demonstrated by setting up outposts around Yellowstone Island.
This is far beyond the level of ordinary monsters.
Roger even began to hesitate whether to upgrade his level.
…
Apart from crossbows, the most valuable item is the tumor on the gray dwarf's body.
Roger patiently cut out each tumor.
This thing is a bit similar to the parotid gland of the Demonic Exploding Frog.
He planned to collect them and see if he could make something similar to the "Element Bottle".
After all, this is a long-term battle.
In this battle, some of the element bottles on him will definitely be consumed.
We can't just sit back and enjoy our savings forever, can we?
…
After collecting the spoils, Roger finally had time to check the prompts in the data bar.
He researched it and found that there was a change in the "Milestone" category.
"What are milestone points for?"
Roger was curious.
In his opinion, milestone points can only be used to redeem specific "titles".
Only after you have unlocked the relevant milestones can you redeem the corresponding titles with milestone points.
For example.
The milestone of "Yuntaishan Frog Hunter" corresponds to the title "Natural Enemy of Frogs".
The equipment effect of this title is "Damage to all frog creatures is doubled."
To obtain this title, you need to consume 1 milestone point.
When he first saw this effect, Roger smiled and shook his head.
If the damage to all amphibians was doubled, he would consider it.
Frogs...
I wonder if there is anyone who would sit there and kill frogs for no reason?
I'm so bored.
The rest of the titles are equally outrageous.
…
"Trial your hand" corresponds to "confident novice", and the effect is "your self-confidence increases by 5%."
…
"Grind the bones and scatter the ashes" corresponds to "vicious killer", and the effect is "you will smell like ashes."
…
"Assassin's Creed" is better, the corresponding one is "Cold-blooded Assassin", and the effect is "Your body temperature will not be detected by infrared vision or similar spells."
…
Roger doesn't want to redeem any of them except "Cold-blooded Assassin"!
So his milestone points have been saved until now.
Perhaps it is because the milestone points have accumulated to a certain number, triggering the prompt.
Now Roger is told that he can use the milestone points to redeem other things!
When Roger carefully read the instructions of that thing, his eyes suddenly lit up!
