Li Huailin did some research. Although there were more than a dozen items on Rogera, there were only two types. One was potions, and the other was equipment. First of all, potions. With his current Friendly Favorability, he could buy Fire Resistance Potions, which were exactly the same as what he had obtained from Night Flight. As mentioned before, these things were useless.
Above Favorability, there were also Fire Resistance Potions, Firepower Potions, and so on. After reaching Worship, he could buy the recipes for these potions. However, Li Huailin looked at them and found that they had nothing to do with him.
As for the equipment, many of them could not be used by Li Huailin because they were all leather and cloth armor. There were only three pieces of equipment that could be worn. One was a Plate Armor Belt. It was a Level 50 Blue equipment that increased Fire Resistance. The best was a Level 50 Gold helmet that increased Fire Resistance, but it did not seem to be of much use.
After thinking about it, this NPC was probably placed here to help the team clear the Instance Dungeon. This was because this guy was selling the items needed for the Instance Dungeon. Even if they could not defeat the Boss at the start, they could just farm the small monsters to exchange for the Core. After gathering a set of Fire Resistance equipment, they would be able to fight the Boss. That was why many people said that the difficulty of this Instance Dungeon was lower than that of the temple.
"You can talk to him now?" Night Flight walked over and asked curiously. He did not understand the previous conversation. This Boss was very happy to praise Li Huailin because Li Huailin had once killed his good brother. How did this logic change? However, Rogera was indeed talking to Li Huailin, and he seemed very happy.
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded. "His Favorability suddenly increased. I saw what this guy is selling."
"What's for sale?" Night Flight asked immediately. Until now, no one in Rebirth had raised this guy's Favorability to Neutral.
"Uh, a lot of Fire Resistance Potions, Fire Resistance equipment, and some recipes." Li Huailin casually showed everyone in the chat box.
"This Fire Resistance equipment is pretty good." Night Flight immediately said, "It's much better than what I have. Unfortunately, I need to worship to exchange it. This guy's Favorability is just too slow. It's not worth it."
"Yes." Behind them, Firehead also nodded. "Although the item is not bad, if we need to farm favorability and cores, it is indeed not worth wasting so much time. Huailin, can you trigger any quests?"
"Quest?" Li Huailin nodded and said to Rogra, "What quests do you have here?"
"Mission? My mission now is to investigate this place. " Rogera replied, "This is Salent's territory, which makes it our next target."
"Salent?" Li Huailin asked.
"After Lord Balagoda's death, our elemental army split into two factions. One is the Salen faction led by Salent, and the other is the Gelkin faction led by Lord Gelkin. Our current goal is to unify the elemental army. This is the birthplace of the Salen faction's fire elementals, and also our next target," Rogra replied.
Since Rebirth had not farmed any neutral people before, they had not spoken to Rogera. They had only found out about the background story of this Instance Dungeon now.
"Can you help us fight the boss?" Li Huailin asked.
"The leader of this stronghold is Salent's subordinate, the Balrog Eglon. He is very powerful. My current mission is only to investigate, so I can't expose myself. If you humans want to go in and take the risk, you will have to do it yourself," Rogera said.
"It seems like he's just an NPC for exchange," Night Flight said after some thought.
"What a waste of time." Li Huailin raised his sword and said, "How about we just kill him?"
"Eh …?" Everyone was stunned. What's going on with you killing an NPC?
"It's not like he's exchanging anything good anyway. Who knows, he might even drop more items than what he exchanged for," Li Huailin said.
"That … makes sense." Night Flight nodded. This guy needed to farm affinity to exchange for equipment, so it was better to just kill him and get a few items. Who knows, he might even drop more. Because of Night Flight's negligence, after Gerkin's stronghold was opened, the Rebirth team suffered greatly.
Night Flight did not think too much about it. After considering the pros and cons, he felt that killing the NPC wasn't a bad idea, so he agreed. The Rebirth team began to use their buffs and prepared to attack. As the main tank, Night Flight, had changed his Fire Resistance equipment, his total HP was slightly lower. Now, he only had 12000 + HP. However, his Fire Resistance had stacked up to 150 +, which was enough to block a lot of fire damage.
"We're attacking. Everyone, pay attention." Night Flight confirmed with the team, then walked to Rogera's side and prepared to attack.
"Foolish human, you actually dared to attack the great Rogera. I will make you pay for this!" As soon as Night Flight attacked, Rogera chanted a bunch of lines, then punched at Night Flight. As he was a ball of fire, even his physical attacks were of the fire attribute, so he still had to deduct Fire Resistance and not Physical Defense.
"2000 + Basic Attack," Night Flight immediately reported. Of course, this was the situation when he hit Night Flight. He was the one with the highest Fire Resistance in the team, so if he hit someone else, he wouldn't have this number.
"Heroic." Li Huailin did not even wait for Night Hang to pull his AOE properly. He immediately used a Heroic Strike, dealing 5,472 damage. Furthermore, it was not a critical hit. Normally, this attack would have caused an OT. However, the problem was that Rogera had a Favorability setting.
System Notification: As you have attacked Rogera, Rogera's Favorability towards you has increased by 30 points. Current Favorability: Reverence.
System Notification: As you have attacked Rogera, your Favorability towards Gerkin's Elemental Corps has increased by 5 points. Current Favorability: Cold.
The others in the team naturally received the System Notification as well. However, their Favorability was deducted. Rogera, who was originally Cold, had now become Aggro. They would not be able to communicate with him in the future.
As Rogera's Favorability had changed to Reverence, Li Huailin would not cause an OT at all. Hence, he immediately used all his strength to attack. Li Huailin's current full strength was very terrifying. Even without using skills, his main hand had 5000 Attack Power and his secondary hand had 3000 Attack Power, which was very frightening. A critical hit could easily reach tens of thousands. Li Huailin could not see how much Rogera's HP was because his name was green. However, Rogera's HP was dropping rapidly. The other damage dealers had not even started attacking, and Rogera's HP had already fallen below 80%.
"Hey, Huailin, are you okay?" Seeing Li Huailin's damage output, Night Flight hurriedly pulled aggro as he asked.
"No problem," Li Huailin replied casually and continued to attack the Boss. The party leader, Fire Head, was also slightly nervous. However, seeing that Li Huailin did not cause an OT, he relaxed a little. Seeing that it was about time to pull aggro, he called for the damage dealers to start attacking.
This Boss's HP was dropping rapidly. He basically did not even have time to cast a skill before he was about to die. When his HP fell to 45%, the Boss finally used its first skill, Fireball.
It looked similar to a Mage's Fireball, but the size of the Fireball was a few times bigger. Moreover, the target was not the main tank, but a Hunter at the side. The Hunter's face immediately darkened as his HP fell by 5000. There was also a burn damage effect, and he was almost killed.
"Hurry up and heal Young Strong (This Hunter is called Young Strong Not Working Hard, hence Young Strong)'s HP immediately rose," Fire Head immediately shouted. Fire Head immediately shouted. Fortunately, the Hunter was equipped with some Fire Resistance equipment. Otherwise, he would have been killed instantly.
Unfortunately, this Boss's skills were cast according to time. However, the party leader, Rebirth, did not give him any chance to perform. This was because the entire boss battle lasted for a total of 48 seconds. After that, the Boss's HP was emptied. During this time, other than throwing two Fireballs, they did not see anything else before he fell.
"How … how could this be … Lord Golkin, I actually failed …" As he said this, Rogera slowly disappeared in the air, turning into spots of red light.
System Notification: Because you have killed Rogera, your Affinity with the Golkin Elemental Legion has increased by 5 points. Current Affinity: Neutral.
After this guy died, Li Huailin received another System Notification. His Affinity with Golkin had increased to Neutral, but he did not know what it was for.
"That's it?" Fire Head could not believe it. He had not done anything, and the Healers had not even used their mana, but the Boss had died just like that. He turned to Night Flight and asked, "Any notifications?"
"No." Night Flight shook his head. "It seems that this is not considered a Boss in the Trial of Fire. There is no notification. What a pity."
"Let's see if there are any equipment drops," Fire Head said.
"Okay." Night Flight said as he extended his hand towards Rogera's corpse. However, this guy did not drop any equipment. Instead, he dropped a strange item.
Salent Elemental Legion Badge: After wearing it, you will look like a member of Salent.
"Eh? What's the use of this thing? " The entire party looked at the item in confusion. Not only did it not add any attributes, but it also had a description. They could not understand it at all.
Just as everyone was studying the item, a System Notification suddenly appeared, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
System Notification: Congratulations to party "Gods" for successfully passing the Trial of Fire's fourth Boss, Mikaert. Party Members: Gods – Counter Front (Leader), Gods – Sleeping In Dreams, Gods – Ice King, Gods – Cameraman Kevin … Reward: 100000 experience, 10 gold coins, and will be recorded in the Glorious History of the mainland.
