The Righteous Player(s)-Chapter 752: The Surprises On The Other Side

Ah Dian sat in the subway that was gradually slowing down, with a light in her eyes.

She was very excited.

Finally…

They could finally leave that dark underground world!

Of course, there was nothing wrong with the underground world. But, she wanted to take a look at the sun in another world…

This experience of traveling to another world was unique. They spent half a month digging for gold in the Cinder Barren for half a month and leveled up to the peak of an ordinary person.

Then, they went to Sporeggar Mill. Under Nefertari’s guidance, they completed the rank advancement, filled in four or five spells in the spell slots, exchanged the dug gold for a large number of silver coins and paper money, and purchased a set of equipment.

…Now, they finally left Beginner Village and headed to the ground.

While learning spells and rituals did have its ritualistic aspect, Ah Dian still felt that letting them go fight monsters, complete tasks, and run errands first, and then returning to such activities when they realized their proficiency wasn’t enough, was probably more enjoyable.

How can anyone not play the main storyline at the beginning and then go crazy on grinding the skill books later?

After finally leaving the beginner village, Ah Dian looked back and felt that it was pretty good.

Especially when they had a starting capital and didn’t have to worry about spending money, that felt the best.

“Mr. Alfonso, we are almost there.”

Thirteenth Fragrance put down the book in his hand and made a voice that was quite youthful, but at the same time had a sense of maturity beyond his age.

The man with red hair and red eyes sitting opposite him nodded and subconsciously looked at Thirteenth Fragrance.

…He is probably the most normal person in this team.

Alfonso thought.

Thirteenth Fragrance’s naturally curly hair was fluffy and disheveled. His slender body was draped in a red and black wizard robe. In Husky’s words, this outfit made him look more like a master thief.

This robe was not the “school uniform” of any wizard tower.

Because of Nefertari’s warning, the three of them did not go to Bone Healer Seti to learn spells.

This was the “newbie gift bag” that Thirteenth Fragrance bought with their money. In particular, it was his own money earned from being a gold miner.

This was a robe sewn by Nefertari himself. It was a powerful curse vessel in itself… and it was also a piece of fashion with a unique style.

The left sleeve was longer than the right sleeve.

Because on its left hand, there was a half-fingerless glove—three rings adorned the middle, ring, and pinky fingers. The rings were attached to the sleeve itself, turning the end of the long sleeve into a half-glove. However, the index and thumb were left exposed.

This robe contained three Instant Spells from the Shaping School [Scorching Ring]. Every time it was used, one of the rings lost its heat. It could summon a scorching fire ring with an invisible force field somewhere, and tighten it immediately. freewebnove(l)

If released skillfully, it could bind multiple enemies together and burn them. It could also cooperate with the terrain created by Husky to control the enemy.

This could be regarded as a supplement to the ability of Soul Snatch Wizard, who lacked the ability to fight enemies at Bronze Rank. The approach to recharge the magic was not complicated… it did not require any influence. It only required a curse vessel, which was not particularly expensive and could be charged through ritual.

Ah Dian purchased a dreamcatcher-like necklace from Nefertari… This purple necklace could amplify the [Healing Touch] spell, doubling the effect when she treated a sleeping person, at the cost of having nightmares the next time she fell asleep.

It was not like falling into a nightmare world but just having a nightmare.

However, she wouldn’t sleep in this world, so it didn’t matter.

Paired with the bracelet she bought, there was a silver bell with a slight hypnotic function and a standard white crystal ring that could slightly enhance the healing effect. This was a pretty powerful novice healer outfit. 𝑓𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝑚

On the other hand, Husky seemed to be extravagant in equipment.

She had no money left.

When leaving Nefertari, she exchanged all her money for items, leaving nothing behind.

In Husky’s words, “This looks like a premium store. We may not have access to these things when we return.”

The silver-haired girl spoke confidently.

She was dressed in an extravagant white gown that resembled a wedding dress. It wasn’t a creation by Nefertari but a deity-named curse vessel seized from the Pale Princess’ believers.

This curse vessel was called [the Pale Princess’s Gentle Touch].

While its effects were quite potent, the curse was exceptionally powerful as well. It rendered the wearer of this garment unable to accept healing from others, causing any healing received to instead inflict harm. However, when the wearer inflicted harm on others, they could heal themselves at a rate of one-fifth, and all self-inflicted healing effects were increased by 50%.

In other words, it was equivalent to a 30% boost to all lifesteals.

As a Shaping Wizard, she was the most traditional mage in a sense.

Three bottles were hanging on her waist — inside were Black Fire, water, and acid. In the course of this half-month study, she successfully learned how to use “strong acid arrows” with acid… and immediately thought of the special use of “black fire arrows”.

She could also protrude rock spikes from surrounding structures or use the power of the earth to create a protective barrier around herself. The “Geo Strike” used by Wandering Child was the “warrior version” of the Shaping Wizard’s ability.

The control efficiency of the Shaping Wizard wasn’t as fast, and their range wasn’t as extensive. However, they excelled in handling intricate details, such as turning water into sharp blades or using the earth to create coffins to encase people.

In case of a spreading fire, they could also freely grasp flames and condense them into fireballs for attack.

The spell slot mechanism of Shaping Wizard was rather strange.

Their Guided Spell parts were fixed.

For example, ‘solid-liquid transformation,’ ‘elemental solidification,’ and so on. The higher the level of the Shaping Wizard, the more types of “Shaping” it could perform… and except for “Guided Spell”, all other spells were used to store “models”.

For instance, ‘sphere,’ ‘blade,’ ‘pillar,’ ‘coffin,’ ‘shield,’ and so on. They needed to create a model in advance and store it in a spell slot during their free time. This way, when they needed to use it, as long as they met the minimum requirements of that model, they could ‘generate it with a single click’.

The lower the precision, the smaller the volume, and the faster the shaping speed.

The Shaping Spell only used time as the basis for mana consumption… This meant that the more refined and reasonable the model was, the better the effect would be.

She also bought a set of “anti-cut gloves” — because in principle, the Shaping Wizard could directly liquefy and reshape any metal they touched. This meant that the Shaping Wizard were the natural counters of swordsmen.

As long as she touched the opponent’s sword, she could make the opponent realize in confusion that all they had left was the handle.

Moreover, the “metal” that had been drawn away could still be controlled for a period. Of course, sustaining control also consumed mana, so it was often more effective to counterattack immediately.

However, considering that as a modern person, she might not have the exceptional reflexes required to fight smoothly with blades. So Husky spent a lot of money to customize a set of “anti-cut gloves”, whose main purpose was to catch swords in the air.

To prevent the tragedy of “Shaping Jude” that had been circulated among players for a long time from happening to him… and to resist flashes that he could not nullify or defend for the time being, Husky also bought a knight helmet equipped it what lenses that Nefertari made from smoky quartz.

So, when she was fully armed, her image became…

A silver-haired girl wearing a fully concealed knight’s helmet, a somewhat revealing white wedding dress, and heavy anti-cutting gloves that covered half of her lower arms, enhanced with metal wires and iron plates. She had a bunch of bottles and containers hanging from her waist, and she held a shield in her left hand.

“—This is just like a pervert.” Thirteenth Fragrance commented, “It feels embarrassing.”

“But it has great attributes!” Husky argued, “Isn’t it better to avoid damage altogether?”

Thirteenth Fragrance thought about it and felt Husky was indeed right.

So he ignored her strange behavior.

When they first met Alfonso in their fully armed attire, Husky’s appearance left the other side in a daze. However, the effect was quite effective. Alfonso was the first person they had encountered who was so peculiar that one had to hesitate before attempting to attack.

It was during this moment of hesitation that Thirteen Fragrances, who had captured the opponent’s emotions, immediately prevented this unnecessary battle. Husky had directly recognized the other’s identity – he was the “Thief Saint,” Nefertali’s older brother.

After identifying themselves, they quickly shook hands and made peace.

Alfonso was heading toward the Frostwhisper Province… He had something to discuss with the new Austere-Winter’s Grand Duke. Neither his teacher nor Nefertari knew about this.

Although the saint had a high status, Alfonso had never seen Austere-Winter’s Grand Duke and had never been to the world above round. At this time, Thirteenth Fragrance and the others volunteered to take over the mission to lead him.

…Of course, they had never been to the world above ground.

However, who would care about such detail?

As long as they checked the information quickly enough, Alfonso wouldn’t be able to tell that it was also their first time…
