Mount & Blade: Wind of War

The demon tide has risen again, and the extraordinary era has returned. Although the overall probability is very low, with a sufficient population base, there will still be many wild extraordinary beings who awaken their abilities.

For example, the Hart family, an ancient oriental family from which Rhodes was born, masters the basic knight breathing method. Such a family has a high chance of having an extraordinary knight appear.

There are also some who accidentally purchased mysterious books, such as the wild mage Caitlin of Lonely Mountain Castle.

There are also some who have reached a certain hidden upper limit in one of their skills and then exceeded it, such as James, the healer, and Artiman, the engineer.

After these people master powers beyond ordinary people, they will naturally gather in large cities, but not all extraordinary people have enough ability to contact the real powerful class.

After all, the age of extraordinary beings has just begun, and many extraordinary beings are no more powerful than two guards, or even stronger than one guard. Therefore, in the royal capital of Fastel, a secret gathering of wild extraordinary beings naturally appeared.

They exchange information with each other and share what they have.

Marquis Angel introduced this kind of place to Rhodes, but he belonged to the real aristocratic class, so the level he could access was relatively higher.

The Royal Capital Secret Arts Training Society, this extraordinary organization even has court mages, members of the Royal Knights, and even senior priests of the national religion joining in. Basically everyone has inheritance and treasures, but it is difficult for ordinary extraordinary people to come into contact with them. .

In the early morning of this day, Rhodes woke up from his bed after sleeping soundly all night.

For breakfast, Kress made braised noodles with basil pesto sauce, lavender bread, and fried tiger-striped preserved eggs for his master.

Rhodes was stunned for a moment while eating. He saw Kress sitting on a small bench, looking at him with bright eyes. His little nose wrinkled because of a little nervousness. He couldn't help but smile and said: "It tastes good." , Kress is so awesome! But you didn’t use force to force others when you were studying, right?”

"No, sir, I paid him money and promised not to pass it on to anyone else within twenty years, so that master was willing to teach me."

After breakfast, Rhodes waited in the room for Andre, the silver-haired young man in black robe whom Angel called his nephew, to pick him up and go to the Royal Capital Secret Art Training Center.

Andre was also a member of this secret gathering, so he had the authority to temporarily take people there.

While waiting, swipe your finger to open the system panel.

This is a habit that Rhodes does basically every day. He checks the system stores. Sometimes there will be some good and cheap things in the stores. If you buy them, you will make money.

Although in the past few months, either no good products have been released, or the items are too expensive, the price is higher than the value, but Rhodes still checks it every day.

After all, this was the shop that had produced the "Cloak of Death's Shadow", even though the price of that item was so high that Rhodes couldn't afford it even now.

After several months of accumulation, since there was basically nothing to spend, after deducting the soldiers' salaries, Rhodes now had 64,210 dinars stored in his books.

The troops leaving the city received full wages, while the wages of the troops defending the city were reduced by half. However, territorial taxes and wages were paid once a week.

Opening the system store, I found that the goods inside had been refreshed: the first item in the inventory was a luxurious enchanted full-body armor.

Luxurious, sturdy, even decorated with gold jewelry patterns, priced at 82,490 dinars, it is definitely the choice of the nobility.

What is nobility?

Don't buy the best things, only the most expensive ones.

Of course, objectively speaking, the performance of this armor is indeed the best. The full-body heavy armor also comes with magical enhancements. But two columns down, the non-enchanted full-body heavy armor only costs 8020 dinars. The performance of the armor is at most better than It is less than half as strong, but the price difference is more than ten times.

Not to mention this luxurious enchanted full-body armor, Rhodes would never buy it, nor would he buy the non-enchanted full-body heavy armor below.

Gushan Castle was founded in the military industry. If it is discounted for four thousand or two thousand dinars, Rhodes might consider it.

"A total of 80,000 dinars, this money is enough for me to raise another army. Am I crazy, buying such a piece of broken armor? The performance may not be as good as my dragon scale armor."

Rhodes took a closer look at the equipment introduction, and sure enough:

The steel used to make this set of armor is forged by a special process and is covered with subtle patterns, making it stronger than ordinary armor. The complete set is divided into four pieces, including armor, leggings, gauntlets, and a helmet. The equipment resonates with each other. , can strengthen the defense effect.

"Even if it is strengthened to a certain extent, to what extent it can be strengthened. At most, it can be a little more durable, but it is not as good as my bright dragon scale armor that can store bright fighting spirit."

After feeling strong contempt for his own poverty, Rhodes exited the weapons and armor inventory, and then saw an extraordinary item that seemed to be of good quality in the sundries shop:

The ancient sacrificial diagram is connected to the ancient scroll of the Snake Demon Cave.

According to old legend, the snake demon will grow an extra pair of arms as its strength increases. With each additional pair of arms, the snake demon's level will be improved. Two arms, four arms, six arms. Under normal circumstances, a six-armed snake will grow. The devil is already the limit. As for the more powerful eight-armed snake demon, it can already rival the legendary level. Under normal circumstances, the appearance of the eight-armed snake demon means the arrival of the abyss lord.

You can make sacrifices to summon a snake demon to come. The quantity and quality of the sacrifice will determine the strength of the summoned snake demon.

Extraordinary item, priced at 50,000 dinars.

There is no bargaining in the system shop. If you want to buy, you buy. If you don't want to buy, you don't buy. Looking at the ancient scroll and the relevant system description, Rhodes rubbed his chin and had some thoughts in his mind.

Sacrifice to summon soldiers to fight. This is an innovative way of playing that appeared after the holographic virtual era in Mount and Blade War Wind.

If used well, it is completely possible to severely damage lords who are stronger than oneself with very little value.

For example, by sacrificing a large number of peasants and slaves, the powerful creatures summoned can directly destroy or even destroy the army that a lord has spent tens of thousands of dinars to build, and occupy everything of the opponent almost without bloodshed.

However, using this kind of thing seems to have a certain damage to the reputation of the camp (the light camp) and the reputation of the people. It is a double-edged sword that is best not to use lightly. Because it hurts others and yourself.

At this time, Cress came in from outside and said, "Master, Mr. Andre, the nephew of Marquis Angel, is here to pay a visit. He is waiting for you in the living room."

"Oh, I see, Cress, I'll go there right away."

Rhodes responded and chose to buy the ancient sacrifice map. With a loud noise, 50,000 dinars were gone, and an ancient scroll fell into the void.

"In any case, this is a treasure worth buying, especially for the current Lonely Mountain Castle. In many cases, it is better to lose some reputation to achieve the goal. I am not yet at the point where I can ignore the benefits and cherish my reputation."
