Scene 47 Babasha
Brando let the gargoyle loose its claws, and he and Charles fell to the soft meadow. In the quiet woods on the top of the mountain, what caught their eyes was a crooked wooden house—like a slum house, two stories high, with dim candle light shining through the gaps in the wooden boards.
"My lord, is this the Lvup place you mentioned?" Charles Songsong looked at the house in front of him carefully with his sore wrist from being grabbed, with a look of serious suspicion on his face: "I don't want to question your lord , but why do I look more like the place where the witches of Brunosson live."
"You read that right, this is the residence of a witch."
"Oh, witches do have some ways to temporarily increase their strength."
"No, temporary power is too fragile."
"Then, my lord, your goal is spiritism? Spiritualism is indeed an emergency method. But my lord, those evil spirits in the lower world are not easy to deal with. I have a few ways to deceive them, but I haven't tried it myself--" Brando walked towards the wooden house, and the young man followed him.
"Charles, remember to tell me next time, but this time we are here for business."
"Business?"
Brando had already walked to the door, he stopped, tightened his body and slowly adjusted his breathing.
Only he knew that the witch named Babasha living here was just a cover. When nobles design their family castles, they often leave a secret passage for emergency use. The original owner of Usson Castle, the Duke of Golan-Elsen, has made many enemies in the political field because he is a conservative diehard. It also avoids densely populated areas and has been repaired to this hill.
And Babasa, as the wizard advisor of the Duke of Golan-Elson, was here to guard the exit of the secret passage for the lord. This secret is a fact that the players only found out after finding the blueprint of the castle after repeated tug-of-war with Madara to capture Yusong Castle in the second Black Rose War.
Brando is also very familiar with this level 32 witch named Babasa. When he was leveling in Riedenburg, this was the only shop that sold mysterious items. At that time, Brando didn't have much experience in the game and liked to gamble on luck. As a result, the old witch swallowed a lot of hard-earned money.
But this is not the key anymore, the key is how he can subdue this ring of wizards so that the next plan can be carried out. One of his hands was always on the hilt of the sword, and his fingers were cold from being too tense.
He hesitated for a moment, then bent his fingers and tapped three times on the wooden board inclined at seventy degrees with two gaps, one long and one short.
A voice came from the second floor soon, shrill and old: "Who, if you want to divination, come back in the daytime."
"I don't divination, I bring something."
"You want to do business, do you know the rules?" The voice upstairs paused and asked.
"I have what you need, witch."
"Really? You'd better bring out what I want, or I'll dig out your heart and throw it to my dog." The sharp voice rang from the second floor to the first floor, accompanied by the thumping The sound of the building.
The door opened quickly, revealing an ugly old face. The witch looked at him for a while with the cloudy eyeballs under the hood, and said, "Say something quickly."
Without thinking about it, Brando pulled out the sword and put it on her neck. What he did was beyond everyone's expectations, and even Charles who was at the side was taken aback: Is there such a thing as doing business with people?
When he drew the sword, his whole body was like a string tightly twisted, so that after he succeeded, his whole body felt a little weak. He let out a breath, and the hand holding the sword trembled a little—as long as Babasha reacted so quickly by a fraction of a second, she would have more than ten ways to beat herself into flying ash with a single spell.
But luckily, this old hag is probably used to being pampered, and relying on the strength of a ring of wizards, she didn't take herself, a black iron low-level swordsman, seriously.
Perhaps Babasha still felt that even with the long sword, she had a chance, but for Brando, the outcome of the battle was already decided at this moment.
Charles, who was on the side, was also taken aback. He thought that escape from prison, or trouble with an earl, was trivial compared to this moment; It's a one-ring wizard, Martha, a high-level wizard like her can slap him ten times with one slap.
But the lord himself put the sword on the opponent's neck without saying a word.
"Young man, what do you want to do?" Babasha asked sharply with a cold face.
"Before your little finger of your left hand completes the third measure, my sword will pierce your heart. I heard the witch say that the heart is the source of a person's life, and it corresponds to the magic triangle. I have always wanted to practice whether this is the case." Brando replied coldly: "Of course if I were you, I would stop this stupid behavior immediately."
As soon as he said this, Babasha and Shire immediately changed their expressions dramatically.
Charles thought to himself that the old witch was actually casting a spell, but he didn't realize it at all. It must be a very profound advanced magic skill, but how did his lord recognize it?
And Babasha was even more shocked. A swordsman who obviously didn't have a trace of magic power on his body recognized her magic skills at a glance, and even called out exactly which spell stage she was in. Is this world turned upside down?
"What do you want to do?" Under the shock of her heart, she softened her attitude and asked.
"The Duke of Golan-Elsen doesn't seem to have any friends in the capital. It must be because the earl lent the castle of Hussons to the earl because he is a close servant of His Majesty. If that is the case, why would you die for a stranger? "
Although Brando said it with confidence, the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly. He was always paying attention to every detail of Babasha's movements and eyes, for fear that the other party would play tricks. Originally, level 3 and 40 wizards should have no secrets in his eyes, but his perception attribute is too low, and he can only guess and guess.
Brando felt that he was trying to be more daring now.
And Babasha's expression changed again: "What did you say?"
"My request is very simple. I want you to swear by your birth star that you will lend me the secret path of Yusong Castle once, only once, and I will not announce it to anyone."
The old witch looked at Brando like a monster, and she was the only one who knew the secret path of Usson Castle, except for the Duke of Golan-Elsen. Even the Duke was with him and his family didn't know about it. How did this young man know? Could he be the illegitimate son of the Duke of Golan-Elsen?
"I say no."
"I don't want to kill people."
It was only then that Babasha realized that he had no room to negotiate the price. She thought for a while, and had to give in, and tremblingly stretched out her fingers to the Witch Throne to swear, but Brando shook his head.
"Babasha, isn't your natal constellation Hydra?"
The witch shuddered, how did he know? She couldn't help looking into the dark eyes of the other party, as if all her secrets were exposed under the sharp eyes of the other party. The natal constellation is the biggest secret of a witch, and she only gave it to Duke Golan-Elson. To gain the trust of the other party. Babasa felt that Brando was more and more mysterious, so she didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and honestly swear by her natal constellation.
Brando breathed a sigh of relief, only feeling that his vest was completely soaked in sweat. He put down his sword and said to Charles beside him, "Char, go to the shelf at the back and take down the rightmost scroll in the first row. There is also the box in the middle of the second row, and the three leftmost scrolls in the third row. Reagent bottles. Don't touch anything else."
At this time, Charles has already admired his lord lord completely. He said flatteringly that Brando was unpredictable in the sky before, but now he really feels that the lord lord is a little unpredictable.
And at this moment Babasha felt that she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, this young man could tell which things on her shelf were really useful things and which ones were just a cover full of vicious curses without even looking at them. Knowing those things is a secret that only she knows.
However, when Charles opened the box, he exclaimed in surprise: "These are elemental crystals, my lord, take a moment to absorb them and use them directly!"
But Brando shook his head, walked over to pick up the bottom three dusty reagent bottles and asked, "Do you know what these are?"
Babasha also raised her head in doubt. This old witch didn't even know what was in the three reagent bottles, but at her level, she could instinctively feel the ripples of magic power emanating from some items, so she stayed ——After years and months, a thick layer of dust has accumulated.
Originally, reagents were not something that could be randomly experimented with, not only poisons would kill people, but also buff potions used in the wrong way would also cause people to die without illness.
Magic is inherently a powerful, mysterious and dangerous thing.
Charles glanced at it and shook his head.
"This is a mana potion, why don't you even know this." Brando wiped the dust off the bottle a little dissatisfied, revealing the light blue liquid underneath.
"Impossible!" Babasa and Charles looked shocked.
"Why are you so surprised, isn't it just a magic potion? I want to ask you now, these three bottles of mana potion can increase your mana by four times. Regardless of the change in magic power, you think you have four times the mana. What level of wizard is it equivalent to?"
"Intermediate wizard." Charles replied dryly.
"So, these are the three indicators I told you, the three bottles of mana potions, before you use them all, you will be an intermediate wizard. In fact, you are still just an apprentice now, understand?"
Charles nodded subconsciously, but it was a mana potion, known as the gold of wizards. This thing is a product born out of advanced alchemy, and it is no easier to produce than holy water - he himself has only seen it in sheepskin scrolls, so he just threw it to him so casually?
Brando picked up the long sheepskin scroll on the top shelf again: "This is the scroll that records the mystery of how ascetics compress the air on both sides of their blades to sharpen them. Skills are attributes Part of it. These are the three indicators, now do you understand what I mean by coming here to improve myself?"
"Practicing a skill doesn't happen overnight. Is it useful to sharpen a gun before the battle, the lord—" Shire said immediately, but he saw Brando opening the scroll, scanning it, and then throwing it away. The scroll fell to the ground with a hollow sound, and the latter stayed there for a few seconds. Then suddenly swung a sword with his backhand towards the door of the wooden house, with a 'click' sound, the door frame broke outwards three to five feet apart, and the door split into two pieces and floated out for more than ten meters before landing.
Charles opened his mouth wide and his jaw almost fell to the ground.
Brando frowned, just practicing this skill used up 153 skill experience points. This is not a cross-job skill, and the consumption of mid-level skills is too outrageous. It is said on the forum that this skill must be upgraded to level 25 at least, so the experience that will be spent is a fantasy.
But in his opinion, this is still worth it. After all, he only learned more than a dozen intermediate skills in his last life, and half of them are professional skills. This scroll was probably the mid-level skill that was closest to him in the early game, but it was a pity that he missed it due to a little luck.
So no matter whether you want to carry out the next plan or not, at least the skills on this scroll must be acquired. Now it's just on the way.
He put down his sword, turned his head and said to Babasha: "I'll borrow these things for you, is that okay?" It's like borrowing, but in fact it's almost the same as robbing. But this old witch is not a good thing, he has relatively no psychological burden.
But Brando just asked casually, but unexpectedly, Babasha knelt down with a plop, lowered his head deeply and touched the ground with his forehead: "The Black Prophecy says that only the Dragon of Darkness can see through everything about witches Secrets, any means are nothing but fancy tricks in front of you, you have insight into people's hearts and understand everything. The ancestors of the Min'er people, it turns out that you have returned—"
This time it was Brando and Xia Erqiqi's turn to be taken aback.
