Chapter 513 Allies
The plot of "The Orphan of Zhao" is truly a timeless classic and will last forever.
After listening to the whole story described by Sarah, Gothe couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It is no wonder that "cutting off the grass and rooting out the roots" is regarded as the principle of the world.
But it is impossible to say that Davy Jones, who has done many evil things, does not understand this truth.
The fundamental reason is that he is too confident.
In his eyes, even the Holy Empire has nothing to do with him and cannot do anything to him. How can an alchemist's underage daughter pose a threat to him?
The other thing is that Davy Jones has done too many evil things, and murder and looting are commonplace for him.
How can he be busy if everyone cuts off the roots?
Compared with eradicating the roots, it is better to spend your energy on improving your own strength and influence.
This idea is actually not fundamentally wrong.
After all, how many characters like Sarah can there be in the world?
Furthermore, even if the talent and mind are as outstanding as Sarah's, if "good luck" hadn't happened to Gao De, wouldn't the final outcome be a failure?
「与你说得如此详细，」莎拉眨了眨眼睛，一直紧的眉头微微舒展开些许，「是因为我还有个冒味的请求......」
「明白。」不用等莎拉说完，高德已经干脆利落地伸手往怀里一掏。
An enchanted gun twisted like a dragon appeared in his hand.
【Topaz Annihilator】.
"The property returns to its original owner." He handed the [Topaz Annihilator] to Sarah.
This was completely beyond Sarah's expectations, and she stared blankly at the [Topaz Annihilator] handed over by Gothe.
She had thought that Gothe could guess her intentions, and she had also thought that Gothe would eventually agree to "return" the [Topaz Annihilator] to her.
But I never thought that Gaode would be so straightforward and "return the property to its original owner" without any conditions.
This is an extraordinary combat artifact, not some cabbage on the roadside?
"What, you don't want it anymore?" Gao De teased when he saw Sarah didn't respond.
"Thank you." Sarah was not a shy person. She was just too sudden and didn't react. Now she immediately took over the [Topaz Annihilator].
Gaode was very free and easy, not distressed at all, let alone playing hard to get.
One is that he himself is a mage who does not take the enchanted gun route.
His main magic weapon is [North Wind], and he may add a staff in the future, but Gothe doesn't have much idea about the enchanted gun.
His own spell arsenal is extremely extensive, and with Wind Spirit Yueying by his side, the spells he masters are often more special and powerful than others.
There is no doubt that Gaode's advantage lies in spells, and the most suitable magic weapon for him must be a staff that increases the power of spells.
Giving up one's own advantages for the sake of the strength of [Topaz Annihilator] would be picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.
Another point is that after obtaining [Topaz Annihilator], during the gap time, Gaode has already identified [Topaz Annihilator] through [Appraisal Technique +].
【Topaz Annihilator】：
Producer: Lola needs synchronization before use.
This magical long-range weapon does not use ammunition, but uses a piece of topaz dragon crystal that is constantly growing in its core. When you use the energy contained in the topaz dragon crystal at one time, you need to wait until the next dawn before you can use it again.
This weapon has a regular range of 200 feet and a maximum range of 600 feet. When it hits the target, the bullet will be annihilated, producing topaz crystallization and extracting the target's moisture and life energy.
If this damage drains a creature or object of life energy, the target will turn to dust.
[Topaz Annihilator] is a very powerful and extraordinary combat item that has two special effects: "infinite bullets" and "annihilation".
The significance of the former needs no introduction.
No matter what world or power system you are in, infinite bullets are a rare term.
Of course, the "Infinite Bullets" of [Topaz Annihilator] is the youth version.
its infinity is conditional, it means the total amount is limited and the recovery is infinite.
That is to say, if the total energy in the Topaz Dragon Crystal is used up, it will have to wait until the next day to recover.
But for automatic recharging, if nothing else, the "ammunition cost" saved over the years is an extremely exaggerated astronomical figure.
As for "annihilation", it is a special attack entry.
Under the mage's power system, it is also a very practical special effect.
After all, undead creatures or creatures with the ability to resurrect are not uncommon in this world. These enemies can often resurrect after being defeated on the physical level, dragging mages into an endless war of attrition.
And "annihilation" can break this cycle.
Especially when dealing with Necromancers, "Annihilation" is even more effective.
Of course, there are also disadvantages: just like against ley line creatures or sea monsters, the annihilation special effects will cause side effects.
You have worked so hard to kill them in order to collect the extraordinary materials from them and make a fortune. Once the [Topaz Annihilator] is shot, only ashes will be left...
However, the flaws cannot be concealed. The [Topaz Annihilator] is still a powerful strange item that can change the situation of the battle.
But there is a very fatal problem - this is a strange object that needs synchronization.
The so-called synchronization refers to the process in which extraordinary items require the user to establish a special spiritual connection with them to activate their special abilities. It is a prerequisite for the use of certain extraordinary items.
Synchronization generally requires focusing on items for more than an hour. During this period, you cannot be distracted or cast spells in combat, and a mage can synchronize up to three items in most cases.
In essence, it is somewhat similar to the “equipment binding” in Gaode’s previous game terminology.
Synchronization has some special features compared to "binding": First, the synchronization of some items needs to meet specific conditions and additional conditions.
The former is more typical of what level of mage is required, what level of mental strength is required, what bloodline is required, etc.
The latter are all kinds of strange things, and they even include many negative costs. Some require long-term feeding of blood, and some require the user to carry them closely for a long time otherwise they will suffer bad luck and so on.
Another point is that many extraordinary items are easy to synchronize, but it is very difficult to desynchronize them.
Especially for symbiotic extraordinary items, they often require "remove curse" spells to force separation and cannot be removed automatically.
Hence, if you don’t understand the synchronization conditions of an item, it’s not uncommon to rush into synchronization and then step into a big trap.
There is a mage who has synchronized evil objects of the necromantic system, and his body began to undergo changes, but he was unable to actively remove the synchronization. In the end, he was tortured to the point where he became inhuman and ghost.
The strength of [Topaz Annihilator] is too high. A Gothic second-level mage who casts [Identification +] can only barely identify its basic attributes, which is not enough to identify its synchronization conditions.
Are there any side effects that he cannot accept? Does it satisfy the homology condition?
These are all unknown.
In this case, he would definitely not dare to synchronize with [Topaz Annihilator] rashly.
An extraordinary magical weapon that I am not good at and cannot use for a foreseeable period of time.
Even if it is an extraordinary level combat artifact, to Gothe, it is ultimately useless and can only gather dust most of the time.
From this point of view, it is better to return it to Sarah.
Finally, free things are often the most expensive.
Him Again, compared to one or two valuable enchanted guns, the value of Sarah itself is much higher than them.
Selling another favor to Sarah, the final return must be much higher than a [Topaz Annihilator].
Sarah took the [Topaz Annihilator] and gently rubbed the obsidian gun body with her slender fingers. She didn’t know what she was thinking.
This strange object made by her mother finally returned to her hands after nearly a hundred years.
After a moment, Sarah suddenly took out the [Good Luck] and [Bad Luck] from her side with some difficulty.
Her movements were obviously sluggish due to the fatigue caused by the damage to her soul.
Sarah handed the two guns to Gothe and said softly: "You choose one."
"Huh?" Gothe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Although their value is not comparable to the [Topaz Annihilator], you can't take it for nothing. This is not my character, so just treat it as partial compensation."
"Also..." Sarah paused and smiled: "I only have two hands and three guns, so I can't use them like this... Gothe looked at the persistence in Sarah's eyes and understood.
He immediately fell into thinking
No matter how useless the enchanted gun is to him, there is no reason to not want to use the high-level magic weapon for free, right?
< br/> He quickly made a decision, and his eyes fell on the more simple-looking [Doom].
This was the work of Sarah’s mother, and the craftsmanship value contained in it should outweigh the [Good Luck].
“Just take it, this way your luck will be better in the future.” Gothe said with a smile as he took away [Misfortune].
In addition, [Doom], as a traditional magic fire gun, is limited to a single shot, which means that it can only be used as a surprise move in most cases.
But this is in line with Gaode's fighting habits and can be used as a supplementary fighting method outside of his spell system.
Sarah was not surprised by Gothe's choice, she had even guessed it.
She reached out and took out a delicate tubular brass cartridge from her arms and handed it to Gothe.
This cartridge was about the length of a palm, with non-slip spiral patterns carved on the surface. One end was closed, and the other end was equipped with a tightly fitting screw cap.
Gaode unscrewed the lid and looked inside, and found four projectiles of different shapes lying quietly in the velvet lining:
One projectile was completely blue, and a weak electric arc could be seen at the warhead;
One projectile had subtle, constantly vibrating ripples on its surface;
The last projectile is even more strange, its color is like a dull lead mass, and it looks extremely heavy.
The capacity of the entire cartridge is five projectiles when fully loaded, but there is now an empty position.
· Needless to say, the empty position should be the Soul Eater projectile that Sarah regarded as her ultimate move but was decoded by Davy Jones.
"These four projectiles are special projectiles made by our Tierha family. The process of making ordinary projectiles is not complicated, but the requirements are relatively high."
"First of all, we need to build a casting tower that is at least 60 feet high, and build a cold pool at the bottom of the tower, and the cold gathering rune array must be engraved on the bottom of the pool. The molten metal solution is poured into a special funnel embedded with a filter. The metal solution will drip down the diamond-shaped hole at the bottom of the funnel, naturally forming the shape of water droplets during the fall. "
"The casting tower must be built high enough so that when the metal solution falls, the surface can first contact the cold air and condense into a shell, and it will not collapse and deform when it enters the cold pool.
The temperature of the cold pool is even more critical, because the melting points of some special metals are extremely high. If the cold water is not warm enough, the pool water will boil the moment the solution falls into it, and you will end up with a pile of twisted metal slag. "But this is just the manufacture of ordinary projectiles. The manufacturing of special projectiles is not only demanding, but also a hundred times more complicated."
· "Each special projectile can be regarded as a separate alchemy product. It uses expensive materials and requires many skilled workers, a suitable environment, and alchemy machines to assist in its production."
"Since the workshop was burned down by David, I have used all the stockpiles produced before, one less, so there are only these."
Gothe slowly tightened the screw cap and said to Sarah at the same time: "Perhaps, you can rebuild the workshop in the Blue Flame Islands."
Sarah suddenly raised her head when she heard the words, a trace of surprise flashed across her pale face, and then an unconcealable heartbeat flashed across her eyes.
"David is dead, and the entire City of Black Sails will think that you personally ended his rule," Gothe emphasized: "It is reasonable to say that as long as you are willing, you are the best candidate for the next uncrowned king of Black Sails City, and you are very likely to take charge of this city."
"Of course I am willing." Faced with Gothe's gaze, Sarah replied.
"Whether I can take over David's position or not, you will always be my Sarah Fortune, the core and most important ally of the gold coin hunters. I will do my best to meet all your needs. This is my promise to you." She paused and said to Gothe very solemnly.
After hearing this, Gaode couldn't be more satisfied.
Isn’t it just for this that he has done so much?
Fortunately, he did not misjudge the person. In addition to Sarah’s outstanding talent and strength, she also has structure and integrity.
"After I have calmed down a little and no one can see that I am weak, I will let the Fire Knife carry Davy Jones's body back to the City of Black Sails." Sarah said again, a sharp light flashing in her eyes.
This is a critical period.
The Iron Crown fled in panic and returned to the City of Black Sails. News of Davy Jones's death would soon spread throughout the city.
At this point, in this way, Sarah brought Davy Jones's body back to the City of Black Sails with the attitude of a winner, instantly establishing prestige and reputation that no one could match in the City of Black Sails.
This reputation can even allow her to take most of the assets of the Bloodsail Pirates without a single blow, and make many gangs that adapt to the situation surrender to her.
In addition, over the years, Sarah has a lot of backbones around her, and she is a force that cannot be underestimated.
Must seize this "window".
"That's what I said, but now," Gothe looked at Sarah's pale face and said helplessly: "You'd better have a good rest first."
"I have a spell that can help you speed up your recovery, don't resist." He thought for a while, whispered to Sarah, and activated the spell model.
The next moment, a layer of firefly-like light spots emerged from his palm, carrying warm energy fluctuations and drifting towards Sarah's body.
Integrate into her body the moment it touches her body.
【Comfortable Sleep+】.
The [Comfortable Sleep+] added by Fengling Yueying, although it is still a first-level spell, can also increase the natural recovery speed of soul damage. It is incredible, and it is suitable for Sarah's current situation.
