Chapter 4 Potion and Scroll
If Rollin still regarded this as a game deep in his heart, then now, when he saw Viana, he knew that he was going to do his best.
But first, he had to pay back the usury from the villain Malfoy, which required money and twenty silver coins.
This is completely different from the game.
In the game, even in the beginning of the game, this money is a little bit of for Rollin.
At that time, he was a formal soldier at birth and had a complete set of basic equipment. Although his things were not good, his swords, shields, mails and so on were all complete. His whole equipment was worth more than one gold coin. He was a tall, rich and handsome man at the time of birth. Below the warriors, there was a large number of working people... And he now belongs to this type of working people, and he is also the lowest-level settlement among the public. His assets are now negative.
What should I do?
Don't pay back the money? Leave the debt? Then Malfoy will definitely fully demonstrate his villain nature, throw him directly into the sea water and soak him for three days and three nights, and then sell him to Chunlou as a pet child... This guy is definitely doing this kind of thing!
Going to work as a small worker at the dock? You can earn fifteen copper coins a day, and less than five silver coins a month. This method is also unreliable.
He has to find another way.
Luo Lin sat on the stone railing next to the pier and thought about countermeasures.
Going to do tasks to earn gold coins? He remembers that there are several tasks in the game that are rewarded with great rewards. These classic tasks that were of great help to him in the early stages, Rollin's memory is quite profound, and he can probably think of some details at this time.
But he immediately denied this idea because he did not have the ability to take on tasks.
In the game, when he takes on these tasks, the lowest level is also level five.
A level five warrior can be regarded as a well-known figure. When the orcs invaded, he was even valued by Lord Primo at level 15 and was praised as "although his power is not particularly powerful, he is one of the few smart people." This can be seen from the fact that he can get a position on the retreating sea ship.
The game is more realistic. It is precisely because he has the strength that others will give him corresponding tasks.
Now, he is just an unknown man, and no one cares about his death one day. Who would pay attention to him?
So the path of doing high-paying tasks is not feasible for the time being, at least not now.
Then go to search for treasures?
The precious treasures are also in dangerous places in the wetlands outside the city. There are extremely dangerous people or monsters next to them. He can't remember many details anymore. Now he is just seeking death.
"If the difficulty is compared, I am definitely playing in hell mode now!" Luo Lin complained secretly in his heart.
After thinking about it, Luo Lin couldn't find a way. The game is full, but the reality is very backbone. Any opportunity to make progress has a lot of people to compete, and there are very few opportunities left for him.
"Maybe I should find a dagger and secretly slaughtered Malfoy in the middle of the night." Luo Lin, who was desperate and had a dark road ahead, really wanted to do something.
Just then, a conversation came over.
"Hey, have you heard of it? The Homlin hit a rock in Mali Bay and sank all over the ship."
The news immediately made Rollin's ears erect, and he knew that Marie Bay was outside the Port of Vandom.
"I deserve it. Who told the captain to go out of the boat when it fogs... Now that Homlin's wealth-guarding mist must kill that guy."
"That's not our business. I heard that Homlin was looking for someone to reap goods, and the reward was good. He picked up a container and gave a silver coin. You have such a good water quality, why don't you do it?"
"I won't go. The water in Mali Bay is at least twenty meters deep, there are sharks and deadly seaweed under the water. I have my wife and children to raise, so I don't make this life-long money."
The two dock workers were talking, and they walked while talking, without even noticing Rollin's existence.
Luo Lin's eyes lit up: "Go to the sea to retrieve goods? One silver coin trip... the water is too deep, dangerous, no one goes, no one can find... the alchemy potion."
One by one, one word jumped out of his mind and quickly formed a plan. His alchemy will make contributions this time!
"Underwater breathing sol." An alchemy formula jumped into his mind, an extremely basic alchemy potion that could be ground and mixed with several herbs.
Of course, Rollin did this in the game, and he didn't know whether it was feasible here.
"Intellectual brain, is alchemy useful?" He had to confirm this. This breathing sol was the key to whether he could salvage the treasure chest.
"In alchemy, the basic alchemy simulation level without the participation of mysterious magic is close to 100%, and the level of magic assisted alchemy simulation is unknown."
It seems that the elites on Earth have not yet understood the mages and arcane in this world, but having the first one is enough, because breathing sol does not require any magic at all, just some simple techniques.
Luo Lin is a warrior, but his major is alchemy and has already practiced to the master level. This simple potion is not difficult for him at all.
There are not many materials needed for underwater respiratory sols, only two, salmon algae and sponge.
There are many of these two things in the sea. Luo Lin doesn't even need to go to the sea to catch them by himself. When fishing at the seaside, the fishermen often fail to catch fish, but catch the nets of seaweed. He just needs to go to the fishermen's doorstep to get some. No one cares about this seaweed, because this thing is useless except feeding pigs.
After strolling around the fishermen's homes near the port, Luo Lin secretly collected these two materials while no one was paying attention. Not many, each of which was half a pound enough.
After obtaining the materials, Rollin recycled the shelter and prepared to dry it well and get the breathing sol as soon as possible.
"Rolin, I'm back." The old man before talking to him.
His name is Arat, and he is a poor man. He was originally a fisherman and had a son. But when he was fishing, he encountered a storm. His son, who was just eighteen years old, was swept into the sea. He himself was also hit by fragments of the fishing boat in a fight with the waves. After he was injured, his leg was disabled and he could no longer catch fish.
After that, he moved into the shelter and made a living by the church's alms and begging. After Rollin came here, he would occasionally give him some food, so the two of them were quite familiar with each other.
"Yeah." Luo Lin responded, feeling a little surprised. At this time, shouldn't this old guy beg on the street?
"Your adoptive father has something to leave for you." Arat said again,
"Oh, what is that?" Rollin was indifferent, and he completely counted on the old alcoholic to leave him something good.
The old man stood up from the wet pile of thatched trees, limped to the corner of the wall, reached into a mouse hole for a while, and then took out a short black stick... Oh no, it should be said that it was a leather scroll that was too dirty to be dirty.
"This is what your adoptive father told me before he died. He said he was sorry for you and there was nothing left for you except this scroll."
Arat handed over the scroll, and Rollin reached out to take it. The thing was greasy and black outside, and the corners were gnawed by rats. It was no different from garbage when thrown on the ground.
Arat continued: "Your adoptive father also said that this scroll can bring strength to people, but it will also bring disaster to people. Those who use him will suffer bad luck, just like himself. If you don't want it, don't use it and throw it away."
While he was talking, Luo Lin was trying to open the scroll. Hearing him, his hand trembled and almost threw the ghost thing out. This old guy died and left him such an unlucky thing.
However, Luo Lin was very curious in his heart. What kind of scroll is this that can actually bring power to people?
Power, what he lacks the most now is this thing. Because he has not had much time, only one year left!
"Thank you, Arat, I will use it with caution." Rollin continued to open the scroll, believing that even if the scroll had curses or something, it would not be powerful. If it was really powerful, it would not be hidden in the broken mouse hole.
"Haha, your adoptive father is right. He said you will definitely choose the path of strength, just like when he was young. He hopes you don't regret it in the future...Okay, it's not too early, old man, I have to go to get the relief porridge today."
The old man Arat had already seen things about the world, and his expression was always calm. After saying that, he limped away, leaving Rollin alone in the shelter.
Rollin untie the dirty cotton thread that had become black in circles, and then slowly spread out the scroll. The content on the scroll surface appeared bit by bit, which was painted with a large number of characters, patterns, lines, and these things formed a mysterious and mysterious sword.
This "sword" exuded a sharp edge. Luo Lin only watched for a few seconds and felt as uncomfortable as a needle prick, so he had to look away.
"I think this is a good thing. It turns out to be a basic weapon scroll." Rollin breathed a sigh of relief. Ames's last words were so mysterious and quite intimidating that he thought it was an evil thing like a soul scroll used to connect to the demons.
Weapon scrolls, commonly used by warriors, can increase the attack power of weapons after use, and will usually be invalid after ten times of inspiring the effect.
Rollin used to use this thing often and was very familiar with the scroll. He looked at a row of sword-shaped runes on the corners of the scroll, a total of five, and explained that this scroll could be used five times, but now, the four runes on it have lost their luster, which means that the scroll has been used four times, leaving only once.
There is still one left, not bad, but why didn't Ames use this last time? Rollin recalled the past memories of his body, and from the clues, he introduced the general reason.
It turns out that this old guy is afraid.
Arms was just a reckless man. His martial arts were extremely bad and he could not be the guard of Vendorm at all. He didn't know where he got the scroll. He relied on the strengthening of the scroll and allowed him to sneak into Vendorm's garrison.
It was exposed. He used the scroll carefully and carefully kept the secret. He used this point to escape the slash in several critical tasks and spent a full ten years.
However, the number of times the scroll is used is limited. When the last time is left, he is reluctant to use it. He is inevitably exposed and applied for retirement. After retiring, he is also middle-aged and loses his source of life. As a result, his wife, who was originally a secret prostitute on the dock, could not bear the difficult life, and took away all the property in the family and ran away with him. He himself was in a slump and began to drink.
"The so-called bad luck is not caused by this scroll, but the evil consequences of deception. Alas, ignorant people." Luo Lin sighed and rolled up the Sword Wen scroll again.
This is a good thing, no matter whether it is useful to him or not, it can at least be sold for a good price.
Putting away the dirty scroll, Rollin began to do his own business. He picked up the salmon algae and sponge, and began to tinker with the alchemy technique he remembered.
First, mash the salmon algae and grind it into a fine paste that cannot be fine, then mix the sponge and stir, stir, stir, stir, stir for nearly three hours. When all the pastry that Luo Lin ate in the afternoon was digested, the ball of salmon algae puree was finally successfully stirred into a green, slightly translucent thing like glue.
"It's done." Luo Lin was so happy. Zhibu was right. The simulation level of basic alchemy is indeed very high. The appearance of this thing is exactly the same as in the game.
Then, Rollin put the ball of glue into a piece of rag, and a simple underwater breathing cloth bag was successful. As long as the cloth bag was stuffed into his mouth and inhale with his mouth in the water, the breathing sol would filter out the air like the fish gills to allow him to breathe underwater.
Such a thing can probably maintain an ordinary person’s underwater breathing time for three hours.
For insurance, Rollin experimented specifically in the water. After ensuring it was effective, he went out excitedly and rushed towards the dock.
