I was imprisoned by witches

Chapter 103 The cunning bat staff

What surprised Linn was that there was an antler-shaped trial stone next to the ice armor magic book.

Why is there a trial stone in the magic book sales area?
In short, he first took a look at the details of the ice armor technique:

[Item: Ice Armor Magic Book]

[Quality: Blue Rare]

The selling price is .8999 gold coins!

Lin En's head was so heavy that he just gave up. With so much money, it's better to buy more equipment!
"What is the trial stone next to the magic book?"

I saw a vertical note on the right side of the antler test stone, which said, 'A certain mercenary team has developed ice armor skills from this kind of test stone, and it is currently selling for 1000 gold coins.'

The challenge level of the trial stone is 3, and the normal price is about 600 gold coins. If you put it here and sell it for 1000 gold coins, the premium is obviously higher.

But placing a book of Ice Armor Technique next to it made the trial stone's worth increase a lot.People who often gamble on stones will think that such trial stones are blessed by the goddess of luck and will increase their explosion rate today.

"1000 gold coins?"

Lynn hesitated for a moment.He still has 5724 gold coins left, and buying this trial stone is enough to buy a set of magic equipment.

Thinking of the sweet kiss on his forehead, he had been blessed by the Priestess, and he was lucky today. It would be an unexpected surprise if he used the ice armor technique.

"Xilai, I want to buy that." Linn pointed at the antler trial stone and said.

Hilley called a waiter from the trading house over. After Linn took out his savings card and paid, the antler trial stone became his.

The antlers were the size of a palm and were cold to the touch. Linn played with them for a while and handed them to Heeley to hold, then went to the third floor to buy magic equipment.

Once here, the flow of people suddenly surged!
The third floor sells magic books and potions, while the fourth floor includes equipment for all professions.

I saw that the walls were covered with all kinds of weapons and armors, and the shelves and counters were also everywhere.

Attracting customers one after another to stop and choose the equipment that suits them!
In addition to buyers, there are also some people who make a living by reselling equipment. In order to attract customers, Elk Trading Company will intentionally sell some equipment at a lower price.

Lynn's eyes were dazzled at first glance, all kinds of equipment released different magical rays, like a huge treasure house.

"Let's go shopping separately." Linn said to Hilley: "If there is any equipment that is cheaper, just come and call me."

After a pause, Lynn said again: "Mainly choose equipment that increases defense power!"

Then he plunged into the crowd and squeezed to the front of the shelf.

He mainly looked at those magical equipment that were good at defense. In terms of attack, there was the Water Ball Technique. Once fully understood, there was no shortage of damage.

On the contrary, it raises the defense very high, enough to withstand a blow from the warrior, which greatly improves the strength.

Linn glanced at the shelves and stared at a mage hat.

[Equipment: Thick black high-top mage hat]

[Quality: Blue Rare]

【Level: 4】

[Attributes: Defense +15, Magic Defense +30]

[Description: Can play a role in keeping warm in winter]

[Price: 500 gold coins]

This is a mage hat with very different attributes. Usually, the equipment on the head will add a lot of magic attack power, and the defense is weak. However, this hat has the opposite effect, making most mages who pursue attack power choose to give up.

Lin En took a fancy to this hat immediately and called the waiter from the store to buy it.

The savings card is touched on a square black magic stone, and the amount is automatically deducted.

Lin En took the mage hat and put it on his head, clearly feeling the magic power gushing out from it, forming a layer of something like a defensive barrier on the body surface.

After the double defense is improved, all attacks will be weakened to a certain extent before they can hurt him.

A system prompt popped up in front of me: [The equipment level does not match your own, and the attributes are weakened by 50%]

The mage's hat felt very awkward when worn on his head. It was extremely heavy and made Linn's neck sore from the pressure!

This is the 'level punishment' of this world. He is only level 3, so he skipped the level and wore level 4 magic equipment.

Lin En had no choice but to hold it in her arms first and wait until level 4 before choosing to wear it.

Currently he has two pieces of equipment, a hat and a spellcaster bracelet.

Open the personal panel of the system. There is a black human body diagram on it, with different parts corresponding to spaces, which means that it has not been equipped.

There is a space for each hand, and you can choose a one-handed weapon or a two-handed weapon.

For mages, they are short staffs, ordinary staffs, and magic staffs.

Among them, the magic short staff pays most attention to the casting speed, which can speed up the chanting and increase the mana value more.

Ordinary magic wands are relatively mediocre in all aspects.

The magic staff can increase a large amount of magic attack power, but the bonus on casting speed and mana value is very small, so it is suitable for standing output.

Linn has no followers to protect him, so he chooses a flexible and light magic short staff.

"The hands are missing one piece of equipment, as well as shoes, legs, and jewelry, a total of four pieces of equipment."

"2000 gold coins are used to buy the next three items, and all the rest are spent on the staff!"

After making up her mind, Linn walked towards the wand area directly north of the hall.

This is a shop specializing in the sale of magic wands. Lynn enters it and chooses from various magic wands.

The short staffs listed here range from level 1 to level 10. His level is 3, but he can quickly reach level 4 after entering the trial stone.

However, level 4 equipment is not much more expensive than level 3 equipment, but its attributes have improved to a certain extent, so he simply bought a level 4 staff directly.

Linn looked at a blue magic wand with a snake head on the top:
[Equipment: Snakeman Short Staff]

[Quality: Blue Rare]

【Level: 4】

[Attributes: Casting speed increased by 20%, magic attack power +20, mana +40]

[Description: Spell casting speed as agile as a snake]

[Price: 1000 gold coins]

Linn shook his head, thinking this was too cheap, and looked at the other short staff.

This container used to hold it is more upscale, with a rotating platform inside that displays the staff in all directions.

This staff is red and has a bat-shaped eye on the top.

[Equipment: Cunning Bat Staff]

[Quality: Blue Rare]

【Level: 4】

[Attributes: Increase casting speed by 30%, magic attack power +10, mana +60]

[Description: A collection of fanged bats, from a miserable mage]

[Price: 1800 gold coins]

"this is not bad."

Lynn's eyes lit up!
The 30% casting speed is very rare among level 4 staffs. Coupled with the 100% increase in the speed of his violent casting, it can almost make the water ball spell instantaneous.

"I want it." Linn pointed to the staff at the shop owner.

1800 gold coins were deducted from the savings card, and Linn got the cunning bat staff!

The store owner gave him a large storage bag. He put all the short staff and mage hat in it, walked out of the store, and continued to buy the remaining equipment.

In a blink of an eye, it was late at night.

Lin En and Heeley walked out of the business.

Lin En had a great harvest today, with 53 gold coins left, and she purchased four more pieces of equipment, namely:

[Equipment: Steele Boots]

[Quality: Green and Excellent]

【Level: 3】

[Attributes: Defense +5, Magic Defense +10, Agility +5]

[Equipment: black mage trousers]

[Quality: Blue Rare]

【Level: 3】

[Attributes: Defense +5, Magic Defense +15, Magic Attack +5]

[Equipment: Giant Bear Vestment]

[Quality: Blue Rare] [Level: 4]

[Attributes: Defense +10, Magic Defense +10, Strength +5]

[Equipment: Swordfish Earrings]

[Quality: Blue Rare]

【Level: 3】

[Attributes: Mana +10, Magic Attack +15]

Three of these four pieces of equipment are level 3, which can increase Linn's combat power as quickly as possible in order to clear the trial stone.

The remaining giant bear robes, thick mage hat, and bat staff are level 4 and need to be upgraded before they can be worn easily.

Lin En put on the level 3 magic equipment, and the surging magic power poured into his body, and his personal attributes also changed dramatically.

Magic attack power increased from 66 to 88!

Agility increased from 9 to 14.

Defense increased from 9 to 19.

Magic defense increased from 0 to 25.

Mana increased from 88 to 99.

In addition to the achievement completed when bullying Xi Lai, spreading seeds for the first time, an additional 10 points of mana were added.

That is 109.

All-round improvements have greatly increased Lin En's strength!

Now, he is completely confident to clear a level 4 trial stone alone!

He has the power to fight against ordinary level 5 warriors.

"When I reach level 4 and wear all the equipment, I will probably be able to defeat Bernice without relying on summoning Lan Yi."

After Linn reaches level 4, he takes up the staff, breaks through [-] magic attacks, and triggers violent spellcasting. The chance of defeating Bernice is very high.

While thinking, he and Hilley got into the carriage and returned to the orphanage.

Linn was very excited with the new equipment and asked Shilay to put on the collar and punish him before returning to his small dormitory with satisfaction.

"The calming spell seems to have failed on me."

Linn suddenly woke up.

Could it be that the later games had been suppressed for so long that he couldn't even control the wand.

"No, I have to use practice to eliminate distracting thoughts."

Lin En took out the antler trial stone he purchased with bright eyes.

He planned to clear the trial stone and see if he could unleash this [Ice Armor Technique] like that mercenary team.

Although it involved gambling, he was blessed by the Priestess today.

Linn said to himself: "The monsters inside should be enough for me to upgrade to level 4, so that I can wear a wand."

The cunning bat staff can bring a permanent 30% casting speed.

His current limit for releasing the Water Ball Technique is 1.5 seconds. After equipping the staff, it becomes 1.05 seconds. Add in the violent casting. That is 0.525 seconds, which is not much different from the instant cast.

Linn put the bat staff on his waist, touched the trial stone with his palm, and injected water magic power into it.

The familiar voice of the God of Courage sounded in his mind: [Challenger, do you want to enter the trial? 】

Yes!
Linn's body fell into a coma, and his soul came to the Antler Trial Stone.

This is a square lattice house covered in ice and snow, ten meters long and ten meters wide, with snow up to the ankles.

The icy wind was raging inside the house, and there was nothing else except a key used to open the door on the stone bench.

A ray of light fell and condensed into Lin En's shadow.

He enters the trial wearing all level 3 equipment.

A small gold swordfish earring hangs from her right ear, and she wears leather Starr boots.

Wearing black mage pants, the upper body is the cool linen clothes of the orphanage in summer.

The cold penetrated to his bones. Lin En quickly activated the water magic in his body to form a layer of protection on the body surface. In this way, the chill gradually receded.

Looking at the white surroundings, Lin En sighed: "The trial stone that exploded the ice armor technique is indeed related to cold."

Each type of trial stone has many identical types scattered throughout the world.

The mercenary team that sold this trial stone probably got two by chance. One of them exploded with ice armor. They didn't want to gamble on the second one, so they simply sold it at a premium.

This level 4 rare blue trial stone has monster levels 3-5, and the maximum number of people it can challenge is 3.

Lin En dared to enter alone because he had the trump card of summoning Lan Yi. If he was an ordinary level 3 mage, he would need at least two melee mages to challenge.

"I hope Anjie's kiss can bring me good luck."

Linn touched the place where he had been kissed on his forehead, picked up the key on the stone, and walked towards the wooden door ahead.

Push open the wooden door and enter it.

The 'grid' in front of me is much wider, as if a piece of the snowfield has been cut out and placed inside.

There are snow-capped mountains, pine trees, and frozen rivers in the distance.

The sun was hanging high in the sky, but there was no warmth at all.

Where is the little monster?
Linn walked forward cautiously.

One foot is deep and one foot is shallow on the snow, which is not conducive to movement. If it weren't for the agility added to his equipment, just walking would be difficult.

After crossing a small hillside, Linn saw three white bears on the edge of the frozen river.

Their weight is estimated to be over [-] kilograms, a bit like an adult male Siberian brown bear.

But the hair is pure white, and the canine teeth protrude from the mouth. It can easily cut through the tens of centimeters thick ice of the frozen river, catch the delicious fish one by one, throw them into the mouth and bite them.

Lin En recognized the origins of these white bears: the canine-toothed white bear, level 4, has rough skin and thick flesh, extremely high blood volume, medium fighting spirit and magic defense, and is a relatively troublesome kind of monster!
"Is the canine-toothed white bear a family of three?"

The largest one weighs more than [-] kilograms and is like a small chariot.

The half-smaller one should be the female canine-toothed white bear, and the smallest one in the middle is the cub.

Lin En hid under the hillside without outcropping. There was a distance of 200 meters from the three dog-toothed white bears, which was enough for him to release several rounds of water polo before the opponent rushed over.

"I see, this level is very cleverly designed."

If a fight breaks out between these three white bears in the narrow lattice house, it will be very difficult, exceeding the difficulty of the 'wooden door'.

The existence of the hillside is deliberately designed to hide the player's figure.

If there is a mage in the team that enters the trial stone, the blood volume can be greatly reduced before the canine-toothed white bear approaches, and the warrior is responsible for finishing.

As long as there is a little tacit understanding, this room is basically a reward.

Lin En is alone and must ensure that he kills three canine-toothed white bears alone!

"Summon Lan Yi and you can easily sweep away three white bears."

"But I can't rely on Lan Yi for everything. I also have to hone my fighting ability."

Linn thought.

He would only use Lanyi to push away monsters when he had to. If he relied too much on this magic, sooner or later he would suffer a loss and become a baby mage who couldn't do actual combat.

"The three bursts of water ball will consume 30 mana points at one time. My total mana is 99 and can be released 3 times."

Linn raised his palm and pointed it at the white bear on the edge of the frozen river.

In the blink of an eye, the spell was quickly finished!
Three blue water balls appeared, like three falling meteors, flying towards the canine-toothed white bear with their long blue tails.

They were still immersed in the deliciousness of the fish. By the time they discovered the approach of the Water Ball Technique, they had no time to escape.

With a bang, the thick snow on the ground was lifted up all over the sky by the bombardment, revealing the dark brown frozen soil underneath!

The larval Level 3 canine-toothed white bear died suddenly on the spot, and its head turned blood red.

The female white bear was seriously injured, but she did not die. Instead, she aroused fierceness and quickly locked on to Lin En behind the hillside.

"Ow!"

The largest male canine-toothed white bear, it reacted the fastest when the water polo technique approached, and was only slightly injured. At this moment, it stood up, beating its chest, and its hairs stood like steel needles. It moved toward the forest at a speed that was completely inconsistent with its bulky body. Come on!
"Water polo!"

At this time, Lin En finished chanting for the second time, and three water balls were shot out one after another, all of which hit the canine-toothed white bear's head accurately!
The first water ball stopped the canine-toothed white bear's attack, the second one directly knocked it over, and the third one hit it on its fragile belly.

The level 4 canine-toothed white bear was directly drained of its health by three consecutive shots of Lin En's water ball technique!
"If fighters of the same level go to kill the white bear, there will definitely be a fierce battle."

Lin En couldn't help but feel the superiority of the mage.
