Chapter 200: Highest-Level

Gulp~

Ya La'er's silver-white pupils widened slightly, looking at the grain and baskets of wine barrels emitting the smell of alcohol in the gray dwarf treasury, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

These supplies, which had no value in Tang Zheng's eyes, were the real treasures for humans living in the Valley of Despair where food was scarce.

Instead, things like gold, silver, and gemstones were no different from ordinary stones in this desert, or perhaps, they just looked better.

Tang Zheng saw Ya La'er's dazed look and realized this point.

"Ya La'er, the underground cave here has become unstable; arrange for people to take these supplies out as soon as possible."

Tang Zheng continued to remind her in a stable tone: "There are also a large number of gray dwarf corpses that need to be dealt with; otherwise, these corpses are very likely to pollute the underground water source."

Ya La'er came back to her senses, a look of nervousness immediately appeared on her face; she raised her arm to wipe the sweat from her forehead and nodded forcefully.

"I will arrange it right away, Hero, my lord."

Ya La'er couldn't care about catching her breath, stepped out with her firm legs, and turned to leave in large strides.

Seeing Ya La'er's hurried personality.

Tang Zheng shook his head slightly; compared to Reynas and Yi Mi Na, Ya La'er's personality was clearly not stable enough.

However!

This was also related to the environment Ya La'er lived in; after all, there were only so many humans in the entire Valley of Despair, and everyone supported and helped each other, instead of having the thoughts and calculations between humans in the Northwest Continent.

"I wonder how things are on Reynas's and Yi Mi Na's sides?"

Tang Zheng whispered to himself softly.

The situation on Reynas's side didn't need to be too worried about, but Yi Mi Na, on the other hand, was in the dangerous organization "Eight Fingers."

As a necromancer hiding behind Yi Mi Na, if he didn't show his face, "Blood Moon Scimitar" Edestel and "Space Slash" Peshilian might not have no small thoughts.

However!

He specifically left behind a "Phantom Demon" Sahulont, which was also a disguised way of allowing Yi Mi Na to possess the power to contend with the other two members of the "Six Arms."

"With Yi Mi Na's personality, if she really realizes the danger, she will definitely ask Reynas for help; if it's even more dangerous, she will likely run away directly."

Tang Zheng thought of this, smiled lightly, and walked into the treasury, walking toward the direction of the broken weapons, armor, and various ores.

The Minister of Forging, under the "All-Race Charm," followed by Tang Zheng's side, occasionally opening his mouth to introduce these ores.

Tang Zheng had originally thought that there would be some relatively precious ore materials among these ores; after all, it was the treasury of the gray dwarf tribe.

It turned out that they were all a pile of ordinary ore raw materials.

According to the Minister of Forging, these ore materials were still collected with great difficulty from the underground veins in this desert.

Tang Zheng was uninterested as he scanned these ores, and his gaze landed on the armor and weapons; he sized them up seriously, and indeed, not a single one was complete.

"Is this all there is in the treasury of your gray dwarf tribe?" Tang Zheng asked the Minister of Forging.

"Yes."

The Minister of Forging nodded with a dull gaze: "The most precious things were the three gargoyles with powerful strength, but they have been destroyed by you, my lord."

Gargoyles?

The look of disappointment in Tang Zheng's eyes deepened.

Gargoyles were indeed a good means, with an average attack intensity above level 20, and with their special body structure, they could be immune to most negative effects and also had a certain resistance to physical attacks.

For the gray dwarves, they were indeed worthy of being called strong.

"What is going on with this kind of magic weapon, and why can it continue to be used?"

Tang Zheng flipped his palm and took out the magic gun.

He had already checked the attributes of this magic gun just now, and even Tang Zheng couldn't help but be surprised; unfortunately, these weapons in front of him were all in a damaged state.

Description:? Cannot be used!

This was the information detected by Tang Zheng using "Item Appraisal," a "Highest-Level" magic item, and also the highest-level weapon he had seen so far.

Equipment of this type like "Magic Gun" never had a low item level, and after seeing the effects, it made Tang Zheng even more certain that this was a player's equipment.

It wasn't in vain that he consumed a skill point to master the basic class 【Gunner】.......

'Skill point: 78→77'

Skill: Evasive Intuition

Consumption: 10hp

Description: As a gunner, possessing the amazing knack of avoiding long-range attacks, after observing the opponent launching an attack, one can dodge at the first opportunity.

This skill was the means by which that gray dwarf gunner had dodged his magic slash and the pounce of the goshawk transformed by the evil spirit dog from the sky.

This was the first time Tang Zheng had seen a skill that required consuming hp to activate, and it looked similar to the martial art "Mind's Eye."

In reality, however, they were vastly different!

"Mind's Eye" was a passive dodging means with a certain distance limit, while this skill was an evasive technique for dodging long-range attacks.

The only disadvantage was that it required discovering the opponent's attack in advance, which was relatively suitable for dealing with magic casters.

He came back to his senses.

What Tang Zheng was truly concerned about at present was that this magic gun actually showed "cannot be used" in the item appraisal.

But that gray dwarf gunner could clearly use it normally.

The Minister of Forging raised his head stiffly, his dull gaze looking at the magic gun and saying: "This is a legendary weapon inherited from the hands of the gray dwarf King II."

"It has been more than two hundred years since now, and the information recorded about this legendary weapon is very little; even His Majesty the King doesn't know much."

"After our gray dwarf kingdom was destroyed by the Troll Kingdom, although this legendary weapon couldn't be used, it had the significance of sacred inheritance, so His Majesty the King brought it out together."

Tang Zheng's gaze condensed slightly when he heard this.

Two hundred years ago was the period of the Thirteen Heroes, and also the chaotic period when a large number of demon gods descended on the entire continent.

Then the origin of the magic gun was worth thinking about.

Three possibilities!

It came from the hands of that human player among the Thirteen Heroes, or it could also be said to be one of the many magic equipment borrowed from the "Eight Greed Kings" guild.

The title "Thirteen Heroes" was what people living in the Northwest Continent called this hero group.

In reality, the number of these "heroes" far exceeded thirteen, but the Slane Theocracy and other countries deliberately selected a portion of them to spread because they thought it was not suitable to promote other races.

There was another possibility.

It was also the possibility Tang Zheng was least willing to speculate about, which was that two hundred years ago, besides that human player among the Thirteen Heroes.

Other players had descended on this continent, but they were not in the northwest corner where humans lived, but in this area.

As for the third possibility.

It came from those demon gods who descended; after all, they were some monsters in the game, and the appearance of humanoid monsters holding similar weapons also existed as a possibility.

Tang Zheng frowned slightly; if it were only the first or third possibility, it would be fine, but the second possibility was the most troublesome.

The current information was too little.

And it was something from more than two hundred years ago, and the gray dwarves in front of him didn't know much either, unless he investigated information from other countries in this area.

"Then why can this weapon continue to be used?" Tang Zheng stared at the Minister of Forging and asked again.

"This legendary weapon couldn't be used because it lost a key component."

"Since coming to this Valley of Despair, I have been researching, and finally, a few years ago, used the remaining mithril and blue steel to forge a suitable component, which allowed this legendary weapon to release its power again."

The Minister of Forging spoke expressionlessly.

Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows, looked at the magic gun in his hand again, and after observing carefully, his gaze landed on the gun stock.

To be precise, it was the magazine!

With a "click" sound, the magazine popped out.

The silver magazine, which was completely different from the magic gun that was mainly black and had wooden patterns, popped out.

Seeing this magazine, a look of realization appeared on Tang Zheng's face; this magic gun had lost its original magazine, no wonder it showed a "damaged" state in "Item Appraisal."

"Truly amazing, to be able to forge even this kind of thing."

Tang Zheng looked at the Minister of Forging seriously, and then laughed: "So, the bullets were also made by you?"

"Yes."

The Minister of Forging nodded: "According to the description in the legend, I used the power of Lu En characters to barely manufacture small iron bullets that could allow this legendary weapon to release its power again."

Tang Zheng now had to look at this gray dwarf craftsman who could use the power of "Lu En characters" with admiration.

To be able to rely on his own ability to make the damaged magic gun usable again, the other party not only possessed the class "Lu En Craftsman," but his level should also not be low.

Even higher-level craftsman-type classes probably existed as well.

To be able to rely on their own abilities to make a damaged magic gun usable again, the other party not only possesses the "Lu En Artisan" class, but their level should also be quite high.

They likely even possess even higher-tier artisan classes.
