Don't call me evil god

Chapter 269 [Animals Talking]

The five members of the Deep Blue team managed to hold back their laughter with great difficulty.

Although Petunia didn't admit it outright, they could all guess what had happened.

The weapons carried by the members of the Deep Blue Team all emitted a faint white light, representing their successful +3 enhancement results.

Seeing that Petwin not only changed his weapon but also had no light effects, it was not difficult for them to imagine what had happened.

[Equipment Enhancement] This magic started from the time when Maren discovered it, and there were more than just Pertwin in charge.

At the beginning, after learning this magic, Maren became a hot celebrity in the territory, and everyone ran to him to strengthen their weapons.

But Mullen soon became popular.

Because this magic requires believers to use it at the cost of consuming the legendary experience gained from destroying monsters.

Legendary experience cannot be transferred.

There were too many people coming to see Maren.

The legendary experience that Maren gained from finding someone to help him kill monsters was quickly used up, not even a drop left.

Fortunately, as more believers exchanged the knowledge of this magic from Nowen by spending their destiny points, the number of people who could use the magic of [Equipment Enhancement] quickly increased.

This magic is not complicated to learn.

It is also very simple to use.

Prepare the materials, recite the prayer silently according to the corresponding content, and then there is a ritual action of "swinging the forging hammer and smashing the weapon on the anvil".

It doesn't matter if you know nothing about forging.

The angle, timing, strength and other aspects of the strike have no effect on the result; it is just an action required by the magic.

The only hard requirement is to have a forging hammer and anvil that meet the requirements.

At that time, many believers were as obsessed as Pete Twain.

He bought the materials needed for strengthening from those believers who did purchasing on his behalf. Relying on his rich experience, he did not even bother to level up. Instead, he used the tools in the blacksmith shop to strengthen his equipment.

After many weapons were broken, many people finally became obedient.

If you don't have enough financial resources, just strengthen your weapon to +3 and increase its power.

Going further up, it’s best not to try lightly.

Although this thing can indeed be achieved as long as you work hard enough, it also depends on whether the result of the effort is worth it!

For most ordinary believers, it is definitely not worth spending dozens or even hundreds of gold coins just to upgrade their weapons to +9.

With this money, it would be better to find a way to ask someone to buy you a rare weapon enchanted by the gray dwarves. The effect might be even better.

It’s not that the weapons cannot be upgraded, but it’s more cost-effective to buy the finished products directly.

……

After checking the various supplies and emergency items needed to fight monsters, the captain of the Deep Blue Team did not leave the Siwei Territory directly with Petwin, but went to a carriage shop at the foot of the city wall on the south side of the territory!

Pete Twain was shocked.

"No, we're going to take a carriage?"

In all his life, this was the first time he heard that one could hunt monsters in a carriage!

When my older brothers and sisters used to brag about it at home, the environment in the dark forest hardly allowed for any means of movement other than walking.

On the one hand, there is the intrusion of dangerous evil spirits. Ordinary horses will become restless after crossing [Past Glory], and after a long time they will even be directly contaminated and degenerate into monsters.

On the other hand, given the terrible environment in the forest, it would be difficult to move around even on foot, so how could a horse-drawn carriage possibly run?

The middle-aged captain of the Deep Blue Team shrugged and said helplessly:

"There's nothing we can do."

"In this situation, other teams have all offered it. If we don't, it will be difficult to recruit clients like you." Petunia was puzzled: "Everyone offers it? What does that mean?"

The middle-aged captain explained: "The road outside the territory is almost finished, and it is ready for carriages to pass through."

"If we take the car to the deep forest, we can get ahead of other teams and destroy the monsters released today first."

"It also saves the energy consumed by walking on the road, and the combat condition will be better."

"Horses will be afraid and so on. Look, now in killing teams like ours, rangers are almost becoming a standard."

The captain said this, pointing to the stable not far away.

"They can use the Wild God's magic spells of [Talking with Animals] and [Calming Animals]. They just need to negotiate the terms with the horses."

Petunia looked in the direction the middle-aged man pointed.

One of the members of the Deep Blue Team, a young man using a dagger as a weapon, with a bunch of carrots in his backpack, was "communicating" with the horses in the stable.

First, take out three carrots.

Several sturdy male horses with white spots on their coats that came over snorted disdainfully, shook their heads and tried to leave.

The young man hastily added two more carrots and said something.

This time two horses stopped, but they still shook their heads in place, indicating that they did not accept his conditions.

The young man had no choice but to take out a raw egg from the side of his backpack!
The two stallions then neighed with satisfaction, indicating that the terms were agreed upon, and then they hissed again.

The young man had no choice but to break the eggs, pour the egg liquid into his palm, and let the two stallions that were going to be responsible for pulling the cart eat it all.

After enjoying the food they wanted, the two horses obediently allowed the young man to put on the harness for them, and then took the initiative to follow him out.

"These guys are getting more and more cunning. Five carrots can't satisfy their appetite!" The young man couldn't help but complain to the captain of the Deep Blue Team.

"I asked them."

"Three carrots is the starting price. We'll only be around the Siwei Territory. Five carrots will get us to the stables in the Qinar Territory at best."

"If you want to go deeper into the Dark Forest, they won't run without eggs."

"Hmph!"

The two stallions following behind suddenly snorted angrily.

The young man quickly covered his mouth: "Pah! I forgot, I still have [Animals Talk], they can understand what I say!"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. When you finish your run today, I'll come back and give you another apple, okay?"

The stallion then shook his head contentedly.

Pete Twain was amazed watching the whole thing.

Xiweiling is indeed a magical place.

As long as they are members of the Church of Knowledge, that is, official citizens of the territory, not only are they low-level spellcasters per capita, but even the coachmen are rangers who master divine arts!
In Petwin's opinion, only those with noble aristocratic blood should have the opportunity to be favored by the gods.

What he had seen in the Kingdom of Reyak in the past was basically consistent with this understanding.

The descendants of nobles often inherit the blood of their fathers and ancestors, are more likely to receive blessings from the gods, and become professionals following the same path.

Among the common people, only a rare few have the opportunity to change their fate.

Most of the descendants of commoners remain commoners.

But the theory of bloodline laws seems to be ineffective in the Church of Knowledge.

"Could it be that the followers of the God of Knowledge actually all have noble aristocratic blood?"
