Chapter 1466 One Hundred Uses of Shields
Walking on the street, the two little girls followed closely behind Fangzheng, silent, as frightened as two kittens abandoned by their mother cats.
"Well... All in all, I should change your clothes first."
Seeing the ragged appearance of the two little girls, Fang Zheng also frowned. These are not clothes at all. Strictly speaking, they are no different from rags, and...
"Does it hurt?"
Seeing the two little girls stepping on the ground with their bare feet, Fang Zheng couldn't help asking. But hearing Fangzheng's question, the little raccoon and little white tiger were taken aback, and shook their heads vigorously.
"No, it doesn't hurt!"
Although their expressions were very determined, they could draw conclusions just by looking at the feet scratched by stones.
This made Fangzheng couldn't help but think of those cursed children. Those children were also like this. They would rather wrong themselves than make others feel that they are a burden.
After all, I am still a child.
Thinking of this, Fangzheng walked up to the two of them, and then hugged them one by one.
"ah!"
"Ugh?"
Faced with this sudden move, the two little girls were taken aback, but Fang Zheng didn't say anything, just glanced at them.
"Hold on tight, don't fall."
Then, Fangzheng continued to move forward with them in his arms.
A man walking down the street with two sub-human children in his arms is naturally very eye-catching. Many people cast puzzled and disgusted looks at Fangzheng. However, Fangzheng didn't care about the thoughts of these guys. After all, Fangzheng had seen this situation many times when he had just traveled into the dark world.
Soon, Fangzheng came to an adventure equipment store with the two little girls in his arms, opened the door and walked in.
"Welcome...yo, isn't this the Brave Brother?"
The bald boss standing behind the counter greeted him, and he couldn't help being taken aback after seeing Fang Zheng clearly, but he didn't show the cold or disgusted eyes of other people on the street, but laughed.
"I really didn't expect that the brave brother would come to my shop...... Do you need anything?"
"Give these two children a set of lightweight, more mobile clothing, and the price is not an issue."
"No problem, leave it to me."
The bald boss didn't seem to have any thoughts about the two sub-human children in Fangzheng's arms, he just nodded, then turned around, and quickly took out two sets of clothes behind the counter.
"How about this? Although it may be a bit lenient for two little girls, the adventure costume itself still has some protective capabilities and is also easy to move."
"Can."
Fangzheng glanced at the clothes brought out by the bald boss, nodded, and then motioned for the two little girls to take a set of clothes and go to the dressing room to change. Although a little puzzled, the two little guys still picked up their clothes and walked into the dressing room.
"Boss, it just so happens that I want to inquire about something."
Watching the two walk into the locker room, Fang Zheng turned his attention to the bald boss in front of him. This bald boss is different from the others, he is very forthright. Seeing this boss reminded Fangzheng of the Agil he had met in the SAO game...
But having said that, is it possible that all weapon dealers are bald and bearded?
What kind of curse is this?
In short, I will never do this in the future.
"Oh, Brave Brother, what do you want to ask?"
"The status of demihumans in this country seems to be very low. Is it the same in the whole world?"
"What? Brother, don't you know?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the bald boss showed a very surprised look.
"This country believes in the Sanyong religion, so it is not very tolerant towards Asians."
"Three brave teachings?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng suddenly remembered the group of guys dressed like cultists that he saw when he was summoned.
"That's right, demihumans were slaves of humans in the past, but according to the legend, the shield heroes of the previous generation helped demihumans rebel against humans and formed their own country. Of course, you also know that during this period, war must be inevitable. Later It has become what it is now..."
"I see………"
Hearing this, Fangzheng nodded. Although the boss's words were very vague, he still understood the meaning. Revolution requires bloodshed, not just marches and slogans. The previous generation of shield heroes helped the demihumans to form their own country, which meant fighting, war, and killing with humans.
And with the killing, natural hatred will breed and spread.
For human beings, it is an unforgivable crime for mere slaves to dare to resist and even kill them.
For demihumans, if they want to get rid of the plight of being slaves, they naturally have to rise up and kill, and those humans who once regarded them as slaves and squeezed them deserve what they deserve.
Both sides think that they are not wrong, both think that they are righteous, and both think that the other is evil.
As for the Three Braves, there is no need to say more, the Four Saints, but the sect on the human side worships the three braves. Combined with the attitude of the idiots before, it is obvious that the human side regards the shield brave as a traitor or a god of plague. things like that.
"So that means, there is now a demihuman country on this continent?"
"Yes, but how should I put it... Sigh, although I don't want to say anything, that country is not very friendly to humans. Brother, you should already know that in this country, the sale of subhuman slaves is legal, right? , and in demi-human countries, it is also legal to trade human slaves.”
Speaking of this, the bald boss spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, with an expression of "what's the matter?".
"……………I see."
Hearing what the bald boss said, Fangzheng was also silent for a moment, then nodded. From the perspective of sub-humans, there is nothing wrong with what they did. Both sides are retaliating against each other. Meg-Malo, who believes in the Sanyong Cult, is obviously a country where human beings are supreme. For them, using demi-humans as slaves is a "tradition" of human beings, and there is no need to change it at all.
And the demihumans obviously want to retaliate against the enslavement of human beings, so they enslave human beings in turn...
Fortunately, there is no such thing in the dark world.
Thinking of this, Fangzheng also heaved a sigh of relief. Human beings can only curl up in the gathering place to survive due to gastritis raging in the dark world. The external survival crisis is far greater than the internal one, and the cursed children have not assembled to take revenge on mankind.
However, I don't know what will happen in the future.
After all, according to the boss, the previous generation of shield heroes were willing to help the sub-humans resist human enslavement, so the original intention must be good.
However, even if it was him, I'm afraid he would never have imagined that he would become what he is now.
It seems that it is the best choice to place the cursed sons in the Heavenly Dao Palace.
Fangzheng also considered whether to build the cursed children's own home in the dark world, but the words of the bald boss reminded Fangzheng. In this world, where there is power, there will be struggle. Perhaps now under the threat of gastrulation, humans will not care.
But after the gastrulation is cleared, the humans in that world will definitely try to regain control of the entire earth, and at that time, they will inevitably have conflicts with the cursed children.
Indeed, the Cursed Sons are all good children, but even if they are good children, it doesn't mean that they won't fight back if they are beaten, and they won't take revenge if their companions are killed.
Didn't the shield heroes of the previous generation expect to become like this? Or thought of it but can't do anything about it? Or is it that in the long time, the sub-human country has forgotten its original intention?
It's all a headache.
Originally, Fangzheng wanted to see if the demihumans in this world were the same as the cursed children, then whether he should help them. But since the sub-humans already had their own country, Fang Zheng also changed his mind. The previous generation of Shield Heroes had already done what they were supposed to do, and there was nothing they could do about it becoming like this now.
Then just mind your own business.
"Wow."
Just as Fangzheng was thinking, the curtain of the dressing room was pulled open, and afterward, two little girls who had re-dressed came out.
The little raccoon was wearing a dark red adventurer's costume, while the little white tiger was wearing a pure white adventurer's costume. Although it looked a little roomy, at least there were shoes and other things, at least it was much better than the rags just now.
"By the way, what are your names?"
It wasn't until this moment that Fangzheng remembered that he still didn't know the names of the two little girls. Hearing Fangzheng's question, the little raccoon and the little white tiger looked at each other, and then the little raccoon said timidly.
"My name is Raphtalia."
"My name is Lyfana."
The little white tiger followed suit.
"Raphtalia and Lyfana? Then... um... what are your plans for the future?"
Fangzheng thought for a moment, then asked. Facing Fang Zheng's question, the two little girls were obviously a little surprised.
"Lord, master... what do you mean?"
"You are slaves...well, you were captured as slaves, so you should have your own home and family, where are they? If possible, I will send you home..."
"Woo..."
However, just as Fangzheng finished speaking, Raphtalia burst into tears, and Lifana, who was beside her, also bowed her head without saying a word.
"Uh...what's the situation?"
Looking at this scene, Fangzheng scratched his head. According to the classic routine, he should be weeping with joy at this time, but it seems that they don't look like...
"It is so, master."
At this moment, Rifana spoke.
"Me and Raphtalia's parents, when the first wave broke out..."
"........."
Speaking of which, the idiot king did mention that many people died when the first wave broke out, and Fangzheng only listened to it as a background introduction.
Now it seems that it is not only a background introduction.
"What's the matter, little brother?"
At this moment, the bald boss also spoke.
"Just take them with you. It's hard for two subhuman children to survive here. Besides, you have to fight against the waves. It's good to have a few helpers."
"Didn't it mean that demihumans are not good at fighting and heavy physical labor?"
It would be fine if the demi-humans were as powerful as the cursed sons, but when Fang Zheng bought them, the owner of the sunglasses told Fang Zheng that demi-humans were not good at fighting and heavy physical labor.
"Me, we can do anything."
Perhaps she mistook this sentence for Fangzheng's plan to give up on them, Lifana suddenly became excited.
"Please let us follow the master, we are willing to do anything..."
"Okay...you can follow me first."
Fangzheng didn't say anything, but waved his hand.
"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner first, and then... let's go out of the city."
After that, Fangzheng took the two little ones to a nearby restaurant for a meal, then left the royal city and headed for the nearby wilderness.
The reason for coming here is naturally... to see what the use of this broken shield is.
To be honest, Fangzheng doesn't like this shield at all. First of all, this shield is silly and small, which looks very stupid. And what makes Fangzheng even more unhappy is that, perhaps because of the internal "settings" of this world, he cannot use other weapons when he is equipped with a shield, whether it is Frostmourne, Restia or Esther, It cannot be picked up and used even if it is summoned.
Fortunately, Fangzheng can at least use his spells and Chuhuo...
That's me. I'm afraid I'm going to be cheated to death if I change to a brother who has no strength to restrain the chicken.
There is no way to equip weapons in your hands, you can only use magic and first fire. Of course, if you want to choose, you can naturally use the treasure of the king.
It's just that as a mage, I always feel a bit awkward without a big sword in my hand.
Um? What seems wrong?
Forget it, there's nothing wrong with it.
So Fangzheng at least has to test it to see what qualifications this shield has to make him give up Restia, Este and Frostmourne... At least you have to be an artifact above this, otherwise there will be a What the hell?
It's too hard to be a pillow.
If it doesn't work, just burn it with a fire.
It's just that during the experiment, Fangzheng was really surprised to discover the characteristics of the shield.
This shield absorbs everything and transforms it into special skills and abilities.
For example, if Fangzheng picks a herb and puts it in the green gem in the center of the shield, he will gain the ability to "harvest", and if he puts too much, he can also gain the ability to "reconcile" the medicine. The same is true for monsters. The monsters killed will also endow the shield with various powers due to their special characteristics.
It's kind of interesting, but it's just kind of... huh? and many more?
Thinking of this, Fangzheng's eyes suddenly brightened.
Since this shield can absorb everything and transform it into traits and abilities, then... how about this?
Thinking of this, Fangzheng immediately stretched out his hand, grabbed in the inventory for a long time, and then took out a soul stone.
Although it is also a soul stone, this soul stone has completely lost its brilliance and shattered into several pieces. This soul stone is nothing else, it is the soul stone of the star casting dragon king. After Fangzheng ran out of times, this soul stone was broken, and now it turned into a pile of useless stones.
After that, Fang Zheng also wanted to summon a soul stone of the same level as the Star-Forging Dragon King, but he didn't know whether it was because he ran out of luck before or for some reason. Not to mention the Star-Casting Dragon King, even the fantasy-level soul stone, Fang Zheng They were never summoned again.
As for this fragment, it was an accident. When Fangzheng originally designed the system, he didn't think about what would happen to the soul stone itself after the soul stone was used up. After all, the system only had a rough framework at that time, and such detailed issues were originally left to the meeting for each group to solve by themselves.
In the end, what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that after the soul stone was used up, the fragments remained in the inventory. He was so happy that Fang Zheng was still trying to recover it.
Finally, Fangzheng remembered...
Oh, I haven't done this setting yet.
So this thing is now kept as a souvenir.
"Master, what is this?"
Seeing Fang Zheng take out a handful of soul stone fragments, Raphtalia and Lyfana hurried over. Although they were a little afraid of Fang Zheng at first, perhaps because of Fang Zheng's kind attitude, the two This little girl, Fang Zheng was no longer so afraid.
"Do an experiment and wait and see."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng picked up a relatively small fragment and put it on the green gemstone in the center of the shield. The next moment, I saw the green gemstone glowing brightly, quickly absorbing the fragment, and then...
"drop."
With a soft sound, Fang Zheng soon saw a brand new branch option pop up on the skill tree of the shield in front of him.
It really works!
Looking at the branch in front of him, Fangzheng nodded.
Then let me see, what kind of skill is this...
"Boom!"
【Insufficient level, unable to activate】
"Aha?"
Seeing this, Fangzheng suddenly felt bad.
Want to upgrade? !
