After distributing all the points, Søren began to clean up the battlefield.
There wasn't anything good on the kobolds, so Søren began to look for boxes. These creatures liked to hide the good things they collected, and most of them were hidden near their gathering place. Since they were only about one meter tall, kobolds usually didn't carry any loot with them. First, he rummaged through the Kobold Sorcerer's corpse and found some random items. Unfortunately, they were all trash.
Søren then began to observe the surroundings, and soon found a stone that was a little different.
The ground nearby had been dug up.
He pulled out his curved sword and began to dig. He directly lifted the stone and found a wooden box buried below. It looked very simple, but when he took it out, it was heavy. He opened it with the hilt of his sword and looked inside. It was full of gold sand. He didn't expect these kobolds to be so rich.
Gold sand was an unrefined gold ore. It was actually gold with very low purity.
It could be exchanged for Kindler in the temple of the Goddess of Wealth. Most of the priests of the Goddess of Wealth took this job, and it was generally fair. Søren reached his hand into the gold sand and felt around. He found a piece of agate, a small piece of obsidian, three pieces of opaline, and one or two stones that he couldn't identify. Kobolds had a talent for mining, and they also liked to live in caves. Even in the wilderness, they could occasionally find some good things in the caves.
If they defeated a creature, the nature of the low-level dragon bloodline made the kobolds automatically collect the shiny objects.
"Not bad."
Søren carefully poured the gold sand into the multi-dimensional bag, and then put the stones inside. He muttered to himself, "Looks like it's worth about a hundred Kindler."
Twenty Kindler weighed one pound, and the gold sand just now should be worth about sixty or seventy pieces.
There were more ores in this world, and these stones were worth about thirty Kindler. However, if he wanted to sell them, he would have to find a jewelry merchant, and the price might be lowered. Normal kobold tribes wouldn't have accumulated so much loot, but it was probably because of the kobold wizard. Wherever there was a wizard, the loot would always be higher.
If they killed the Spellcasters, stripping them naked was a very normal thing!
The Kobold Sorcerer was only around level 2. It didn't have anything good on it except for the 'Ebony Staff + 1'.
This was the least valuable rare grade equipment.
It was made of a special kind of wood that was relatively sturdy. It was like ironwood and didn't have any additional effects. However, it was very hard and could be used to block weapons. It was about ten Kindler's worth.
It was about the same price as Søren's scimitar, but not many people were willing to buy it!
The low-grade Druil would like to carry it with them because it would not affect their spellcasting. It could also be used as a spellcasting material at critical moments because it was made of wood.
Søren took the valuable items and quickly left.
The smell of blood was very likely to attract nearby beasts, including wolves, ogres, gnolls, and other creatures. If he stayed here, he might run into them.
He had suffered a lot in the past. He was almost turned into dumplings by the gnolls who were attracted by the smell of blood!
It was very difficult to keep these corpses for more than two days.
Other creatures would probably be attracted by night. If he was strong enough, he could wait for them to come. Unfortunately, Søren was still injured.
It would be fine if the wolves were attracted, but if the gnolls were attracted, he would be screwed!
Gnolls had a monster level of 3. If they had an advanced profession, their monster level and their profession level would be equivalent to a level 5 Warrior.
One or two gnolls would be fine, but the problem was that gnolls usually moved in groups of three to five.
…
"If I want to become a wizard, I'll just need a spellbook."
Søren returned along the way he came. There was a human village nearby. He wanted to see if he could spend the night there. It was too dangerous to sleep alone in the wilderness. If he was ambushed in the middle of the night, he would be done for.
Moreover, it was difficult for him to sleep well. He basically couldn't fall asleep in the wilderness.
At most, he could only take a nap.
Spellbooks were not cheap. If he was a wizard, he would naturally bring one with him. However, if he wanted to advance, he would have to spend money to buy one.
It was worth about 150 Kindler coins.
This was the most common spellbook. A special spellbook could be worth thousands of Kindler coins.
"Bang!"
The dull sound of a gunshot suddenly spread far and wide in the wilderness.
Søren was a little dazed when he heard the gunshot. He quickly hid in the shadows and rushed in the direction of the gunshot.
Was it a gnome or a dwarf?
Primitive firearms rarely appeared among humans. Alchemy products were strictly controlled, and it was very difficult to buy them in the black market. The power of firearms was not as great as people thought. They were good against ordinary people, but not so good against professionals. Even sniper rifles made by alchemy were not as useful against high-grade professionals as people thought. It was even more difficult to deal with spellcasters.
Some people once joked that if they did not make nuclear warheads, they would not be able to threaten legendary spellcasters.
Of course, this was just an exaggeration.
The churches of the gods had very strict restrictions on alchemy products, second only to the taboo research on life creation. It was said that this was to avoid the catastrophe of the Arcane Empire.
There were records that the floating fortress of the Arcane Empire broke the continental shelf into eight pieces.
Even the largest nuclear weapon was not that powerful. Even if nuclear weapons were to be used to destroy the earth, it would at most destroy humans and creatures. It would not be a big problem for the earth itself. However, there were spells and alchemy weapons in this world that could directly destroy a plane. They could even sink a piece of the continental shelf to the bottom of the sea. Of course, that was during the Arcane Empire. It was several eras before. The arcanists of that time were very powerful, even more so than the wizards of today.
The golems (robots?) that the wizards made now. They were the descendants of the Arcane Empire's magic-powered constructs.
Søren had seen them when he was exploring the ruins at the bottom of the sea. If someone told him that they were super-powered armors made by humans in the interstellar era, they would have believed it. They had almost been wiped out. At first, it was strange to see them, but they gradually got used to it. If Søren remembered correctly, the dwarven alchemists of Toldre had already started to research rocket technology. In the end, they accidentally injured a black dragon and brought about a devastating disaster.
Alchemy products were still very strictly controlled at this time.
Since the gods had yet to descend and the churches were unprecedentedly powerful, there were not many people who dared to use alchemy weapons.
"Grey dwarves?!"
Søren's pupils shrank as he hid in the shadows.
About a few hundred meters away.
A group of grey dwarves was attacking a wizard. Some of them were holding primitive guns as thick as bowls. This was what attracted Søren's attention.
The wizard was surrounded in the middle. There were more than ten grey dwarven warriors around him.
* Bang bang bang! *
Three consecutive gunshots rang out. The bullets were fired at the wizard, but when they were about a meter away from him, the stone pellets were deflected and flew in another direction. Otherwise, they would have exhausted all their kinetic energy and landed directly at the wizard's feet.
"High-grade Mage Armor?!"
Søren stealthily snuck in. His expression was serious. This was the first time he had seen high-grade wizards fight.
A Grade 3 wizard.
His profession should be at least Level 10. He didn't seem to be a human wizard.
A group of grey dwarven warriors attacked him, but no matter if it was swords, axes, or bullets, they were all blocked at least a meter away from him.
This was a wizard's defensive forcefield!
Defensive forcefields were divided into two types: Armor and Deflection. Armor was used to block the attack from the front, while deflection was used to deflect the attack. The Level 1 Mage Armor had a defensive strength of 20, which wasn't enough to withstand one strike from Søren. However, the defensive strength would increase according to the wizard's level and strength. If a high-grade wizard cast Mage Armor, it could at least block three strikes from Søren.
Since he didn't have any Rare-grade weapons, his strike could at most deal 20 damage.
At that time, many melee professions called it the "AT-type Forcefield" and complained that the wizards were indeed cheating.
