Green Monster Epic

Chapter 222: Armguards (First Update!)

Curiously, Allen picked up a piece of arm armor and slipped it onto his left forearm. The armguard easily attached itself.

Allen was slightly dissatisfied because the armguard seemed a bit too big. It wobbled on his arm, looking like it would fall off at any moment.

Just as he was about to take it off, the armguard suddenly flashed with light. With a click, the originally loose armguard instantly contracted and shrank, conforming to the lines of Allen's muscles as if it were custom-made.

"Amazing!"

Allen was surprised. He hadn't expected this piece of equipment to be so powerful. Overjoyed, he quickly put on the matching armguard on his other arm.

Allen's voice startled Salu. Seeing the pair of exquisite armguards that had suddenly appeared on Allen's arms, Salu's expression became complex: envy, regret, disappointment, jealousy, and so on.

"I didn't expect that there was a magical equipment hidden under this stone platform!"

Salu saw the hidden compartment revealed in the ruins of the stone platform and immediately understood where Allen's gain came from. He could only sigh inwardly at his bad luck and express his emotions through sighs.

"Oh, that's great. Can you help me see how to use the magic on this equipment?"

Allen was very happy. The only equipment he had that was related to magic seemed to be the heavy sword in his hand, which had a 'sturdy' attribute. It was said to be rare but not very powerful. Moreover, the owner of this heavy sword was the little girl, Cœur. He would have to return it to her when she grew up in a few years. Now that he had this pair of armguards, at least he wouldn't look so shabby.

When Salu saw Allen's eyes, he explained to Allen with embarrassment.

"It's difficult for ordinary people to check the attributes of magical equipment. I don't have that ability."

"The creators of the equipment stimulate the characteristics of the material during crafting based on the properties of the material, and then add a matching magic model to stabilize the characteristics. This is the principle of magical weapons."

"And according to the power attributes attached to the magical equipment itself, the equipment manufacturers divide these equipment into 6 ranks. The first three ranks correspond to the low, middle, and high ranks of our war occupations. It is only the characteristics stimulated by the material itself. Starting from the fourth rank, legendary equipment, there will be various magical effects, such as creating a pair of wings out of thin air for you to soar in the sky, allowing you to blend into the earth and shuttle freely, and so on. Above that are demigod artifacts and artifacts."

"However, when it comes to legendary equipment, although they are powerful and have magical effects, they also have various unpredictable risks while gaining magical effects. In the eyes of mages, this is the so-called equivalent exchange. There is never unprovoked power."

"Looking at the effect of the equipment in your hand, it is at least a middle-level equipment. There should be an additional effect and a middle-level magic with casting restrictions."

"As for the specific effect, you need to find experienced appraisers after you go out to check the material of the armguard itself and the magic model hidden in the pattern to obtain the magic activation incantation."

"However, the additional effect of the armguard itself has already taken effect, but you just don't feel it now. If you have time, you can experience it carefully, and maybe you will know what its effect is."

"Like my pair of Cold Light Daggers, the effect is sharpness, which strengthens the damage against defenses such as leather armor and muscles and bones."

"…"

Salu said a lot, and his hands didn't stop while he was talking. He took out the magic glands and pituitary gland from the black ape's body, collecting them with blood on his hands but very carefully.

When Allen heard Salu's explanation, he cherished the armguards even more, wiping the dust and traces on them, and fantasizing about the magic that the armguards themselves might carry. Would it be powerful or would it bless himself? Even his own body seemed to have undergone various changes. Did he seem to be a little stronger? A little faster?

They stayed on this isolated island for more than a day, and even ate up the bones of a black ape. Allen and Salu searched the entire island. Then they set off again, leaving the isolated island from the right passage of the entrance they came from.

Of course, the day's search was also valuable. Although there were no more precious gains like memory crystals and magic equipment, Allen and Salu also collected many valuable magic medicine plants from the lush vegetation around the island's buildings. Perhaps this island was once a flower garden where the goddess's dependents planted magic medicine plants, so this memory crystal related to magic plants was stored here.

The two of them had somewhat empty bags when they came, but now they were bulging again when they went out. Both of their unsightly faces were covered with bright smiles like the morning sun.

The maze was still the same. Since encountering this isolated island, the luck of Allen and Salu seemed to have been emptied all at once. Except for the harassment of various monsters that they could or could not name, in the next 5-6 days, the two never had any other valuable gains.

"Great Goddess of Luck, your sincere believer prays to you, begging you to guide the way for your believer!"

Seeing that the Moon of Radiance was coming to an end, Salu's gains, except for an iron lump full of unknowns, could only be said to barely meet his requirements for this adventure.

At this time, he murmured to himself. He was originally a believer of Guiren, the God of Tracking, but he actually prayed to the Goddess of New Luck. Fortunately, like Allen, he was only a shallow believer of the God of Tracking and had not received any feedback from the God of Tracking. Otherwise, the words just now might not only cause the God of Tracking to take back His gift, but might even bring down divine punishment.

Although Allen did not get what he wanted, the gains he had now were enough to satisfy him. Allen had already quietly taken out and checked the other crystal. It was a memory crystal that recorded 20 magic medicine formulas, which matched the crystal that Salu gave him, and would allow Allen to start cultivating talents in this area after he returned.

The prospect is beautiful, but it is also difficult. Magic alchemists are not so easy to cultivate. Just having magic medicine formulas is not enough. At the same time, magic medicine preparation techniques, magic alchemy equipment, etc. all need money and time to slowly explore. Especially in a place like the Green Field Tribe, which starts from scratch, they may not even be able to afford a magic alchemy equipment, let alone a qualified magic alchemist, who needs to consume countless magic medicine plants and materials to try and make mistakes before they can gain anything.

Along the way, Allen indirectly elicited information about magic alchemists from Salu. The shallow alchemy knowledge that Salu told Allen already made Allen feel difficult, let alone the actual cultivation of a real magic alchemist, which is far more difficult than Salu knew. Otherwise, those magical magic medicines in this world would not be so expensive and rare.
