Chapter 34: statue (below)

By the bonfire, Barrett stared at the bust, and with the previous experience, he is now more able to do it. It is indeed a bit silly to look at something without blinking, and it is also a bit strange, but fortunately there is no one around to observe him at this time.

When Barrett was on an adventure before, he encountered a companion who could sleep with his eyes open. When the barbarian first discovered this matter, the strange state of the companion really startled him.

And when he had been with that companion for a long time, and gradually got used to it, that strange feeling still lingered, but it became stronger and stronger. So much so that when his companion was bitten off by a beast's neck later, Barrett looked at the corpse with wide eyes and felt in a trance that he still seemed to be alive.

After a while, those strange words lived up to expectations and jumped out and floated above the statue.

To Barry's surprise, the text that appeared this time was much longer than that displayed when observing the item before. It was not simply a one- or two-sentence description of the item. Insect" task, spread the long text in front of him.

There is actually a ballad at the beginning of the text. The ballad is not like the cheerful and seductive melody sung in the tavern, but like the bard in the square playing the lute and singing with a clear voice. That kind of love song:

["You lightly embrace my waist with both hands

Leaning over and whispering softly in my ear:

'When the golden ears of wheat gradually wither,

I will return from afar with the harvest';

But the newly planted apricot trees are already plentiful,

But you and I are still separated by sky and water;

I don't want to be able to wear a gold-rimmed wedding dress,

I only wish you would wear a camellia for me.

......"]

Below the ballad there is a long passage that reads:

[An ordinary adventurer who can no longer be ordinary, poured his overflowing nostalgia into this small statue carved from fir branches when he carved it. Sadly, the statue was not finished and will never be finished. But this kind of regret that can never be completed makes the feeling of missing become like substance.

Equipment: Wearing the statue on the body (except in space equipment) can increase the perception by 2 points. - Missing is a very mysterious thing. "

Quest "Homecoming": Return the statue to Doris in Moya Village, Griffin Kingdom, and get 50 soul energy. - Here I am, waiting for me, in the birch forest. "]

Barrett looked at the wooden statue over and over again, and his doubts deepened. This thing is actually like a magic jewelry, and it can also enhance the owner's perception?

The barbarian and the mage have actually had a lot of dealings. He knows that most magic accessories can only provide some tricks such as "casting light once a day" and "casting acid splash once a week". After all, the mental power of ordinary people cannot control high-level spells, even if they are cast through magic accessories.

Only those rare and expensive high-level magic accessories can change the owner's physique, and can provide the wearer with some strange and powerful abilities.

In the Bay of Pigs, there was an adventurer called "Grizzly Raul", who had a pair of metal gloves with spikes. Whenever "Grizzly Raul" wears gloves, his strength will become much larger than usual. He punches hard and even a steel sword can be easily broken, which improves strength, physique, and combat power. Very obvious.

But after wearing gloves for a long time, 'Grizzly Raul' likes to eat food with honey more and more, and his temper has become more and more irritable.

Later, in an ordinary quarrel, he brutally killed 4 adventurers who quarreled with him, and then broke through the siege of other adventurers who came to hear the news, escaped the Bay of Pigs in the dark, and disappeared in the In the vast world, no one knows where he went.

Of course, more magic accessories for ordinary people won't provide as much effect as "Grizzly Raul" gloves, and its implied side effects will also be less serious. After all, the main purpose of making magic jewelry by the mages who are proficient in alchemy is to sell them for money. While earning thousands of times of huge profits, they also help ordinary people to realize their dream of casting spells, not specifically to harm magic jewelry. user of .

Eh, it doesn't rule out the bad tastes of individual mages.

Could the statue in front of you be a magical ornament made by a mortal? Barrett looked at the statue in his hand and couldn't help but wonder. But what puzzled him even more was how much change could the so-called "2-point perception" bring? He'd never heard of "feeling" being quantifiable.

Does this mean that as long as he carries this bust with him, he can see farther, hear farther, and smell more sensitive?

If this is the case, then the function of this statue is still very practical, but it is not very convenient to carry - according to the description of the text, if you want the statue to function, you cannot put it into the space equipment.

Holding the statue in his right hand, Barrett straightened up, looking beyond the "Ogre Gate" to the darkness outside the cave. After a long time, he did not find that he could see further. Where the dark is still dark, the dark is still dark.

He knew that this did not mean that the words deceived him, nor did it mean that the statue did not work, but because the scope of observation brought by night was not determined by vision, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com instead depends on how far the light source can bestow.

But not without any changes. When Barrett focused his attention on other senses, he finally noticed something slightly different from before.

Barbarian found that his sense of smell seemed to be sharper than before - the smell of those buried food scraps, through the compacted soil, was transmitted into his nostrils. He could even make out the distinctive aromas of goat cheese and black pepper in that nuanced scent.

If he wanted to do this before, he could only put his nose close to the soil and smell hard like a dog. It's nothing, he used to do it all the time.

In the pursuit of prey in a foggy forest, hearing is often the most useful, and vision is the least useful.

Of course, this is not the norm. When Barrett isn't paying full attention, those breaths are simply ignored by the brain. Because these scents are not dangerous, years of adventurous life allow Barrett to subconsciously refine those dangerous elements in the environment, without needing to be in a state of concentration at all times.

In addition, the so-called "soul energy" once again appeared in the reward, but the amount was less than half of the task currently being done.

Is this determined by the difficulty of the task? Barrett doesn't know, he can only guess. And what exactly this soul power can be used for, Barrett is not clear at all. In the meaning that the strange words instilled in him directly, this kind of thing is a kind of energy on the soul level, that's all.

Now that he has no clue, Barrett chooses to shelve the problem again. After Old Will's mission is completed and he gets the reward, it shouldn't be too late to think about it carefully.
