Chapter 68: Pervert
Due to their different properties, the colors of magic crystals were not the same, and their purity also varies depending on their level.
The colors of the magic crystals were: yellow for earth, green for wind, red for fire, blue for water, purple for thunder, and there are also rare light and dark types.
The front and back of this goblin armor each had five sockets, with yellow, green, red, blue, and purple colors.
In other words, this goblin armor required two magic crystals of each of the five elements to activate.
Qi Bei inserted ten magic crystals of the five elements into the ten sockets, and suddenly the goblin armor lit up, but then immediately dimmed.
“What’s going on?” Qi Bei was stunned and rubbed his chin, falling into thought. At this moment, his gaze fell on the three lines carved outside the sockets. If the colors of the magic crystals were to indicate their properties, what did these lines represent?
Could it be the level of the magic crystal?
Magic crystals were divided into low, medium, and high levels. Could it be that this goblin armor requires ten high-level magic crystals? The levels of the magic crystals he just inserted were not all the same.
Fortunately, Qi Bei was not short of magic crystals and quickly found ten high-level magic crystals of different properties to insert.
At the moment the last magic crystal was inserted, the whole goblin armor emitted a faint light, and the once dim patterns on the armor became bright.
Qi Bei eagerly put it on, and his heroic spirit was immediately evident. However, at this point, the light on the armor gradually faded away, but the patterns on it still shone.
Qi Bei reached out his hand, and a black long sword appeared in his palm. He used his Wild Dragon Battle Qi Technique, and struck his arm which was covered in armor with golden battle qi. Of course, he only used a third of his strength and also used internal energy to protect himself. Who knew if this armor was really effective or not? He couldn’t afford to injure himself.
When the golden battle qi touched the armor on his arm, a layer of light appeared on the armor, and the golden light bounced off of it.
“Haha, great stuff.” Qi Bei was a bit excited. He then tried with different levels of power, from half power, to three-quarters power, and finally full power, and the goblin armor blocked them all. However, the magic crystals embedded on it became a bit dimmer.
At this point, Qi Bei suddenly discovered that there was a mechanism on both sides of the wrist guard of the armor. He lightly touched a protrusion, and a thumb-sized metal tube extended from the wrist guard.
Involuntarily, Qi Bei remembered the Energy Tube that the Goth Princess held in her hand, whose power was like a laser, leaving a deep impression on him. Could it be that the metal tube on this goblin armor can also emit such an energy beam?
Qi Bei aimed the metal tube at the ground and clenched his fist. Suddenly, a dazzling white light shot out from the tube and pierced through the thick bluestone slab, disappearing into the ground without a trace.
“Damn it, with this armor, even ordinary people can compete with high-level warriors and mages. This is too powerful,” Qi Bei was truly shocked. Based on the defensive test, he estimated that he could match a King-grade warrior’s battle qi armor. As for attack power, the energy beam emitted by the metal tube was comparable to a single-target high-level magic spell, and it didn’t require a long chanting time.
At this moment, about one-third of the energy from the magic crystal on the goblin armor was used up. This may be the only flaw of this armor. If facing a powerful enemy, both defense and attack would not last long since the energy consumption was too great.
Although Qi Bei could easily produce a lot of high-level magic crystals, ordinary warriors and mages had probably never even seen one. The ten magic crystals embedded in the goblin armor were worth tens of thousands of gold coins, making it a luxury item.
If mass-produced, even equipping a battalion would be a huge challenge for an empire like the Golden Leaf Empire. The high-level magic crystal in one armor cost 300,000 gold coins. For a battalion of 400 people, it would cost 120 million gold coins. Moreover, the cost of this armor would likely not be less than 300,000 gold coins and may even be higher.
Thinking of this, Qi Bei’s excitement gradually subsided. Although this thing was good, it was too expensive.
It was still better to get stronger naturally. The evolution of a species ultimately relied on itself rather than external things, or perhaps this was the reason for the downfall of the goblin civilization.
“Lord,” a loud voice came from outside the door.
“Come in,” Qi Bei said.
Lie Feng pushed the door and walked in. When he saw the armor on Qi Bei’s body, he exclaimed, “Lord, this armor truly looks good on you, even more impressive than those knight armors of the Light Temple.”
“Enough flattery. How did things go?” Qi Bei asked.
“We accomplished the mission successfully,” Lie Feng smiled and recounted the story.
Just then, Qi Bei heard Xiao Jiu’s voice in his ear, “Master, two people followed Lie Feng and they’ve sneaked into the courtyard and are hiding behind a big tree.”
“As long as they don’t hurt anyone, don’t bother them,” Qi Bei said calmly.
Lie Feng took out the bag of gold coins he had obtained from Qingmu and was going to hand it over to Qi Bei.
“Take it, and remember to treat the brothers to a drink,” Qi Bei said with a smile.
“Thank you, Lord,” Lie Feng smiled widely. The bag of gold coins contained at least a thousand pieces, enough for them to enjoy for a while. A normal family with a dozen or so members could not earn as much gold coins in their lifetime.
The two scouts sent by Qingmu took a tour around Du Shou’s yard and found that this was indeed just a caravan that came to trade with the Blood Wolves. They then quietly left.
Qi Bei walked out of the house and entered a tent in the yard, which originally belonged to the Goth Princess. Not only could it isolate the aura, but it could also withstand attacks from magic arrows. Three elven girls were locked inside.
As soon as he entered, he heard a few panicked screams. Qi Bei then came out with shining eyes, apparently seeing something he shouldn’t have seen.
After a while, Du Shou’s sister, Du Ling, came out and gave Qi Bei a cold snort, “Pervert”
Du Shou was a bear-like guy, but his sister was a spicy pepper. Even though she knew Qi Bei’s identity and that he had rescued her from the wolf’s claws, after taking care of the three elven girls imprisoned by Qi Bei, who knows what the elven girls said about him, and she didn’t have a good face when she saw him.
Elves prefer to be all clean and tidy. Just now, the three elves asked Du Ling to help them wipe their bodies, and when she was wiping Yan Ling, Qi Bei rushed in. As a result, he saw an enchanting scenery.
Qi Bei didn’t bother to explain. If he really coveted the beauty of the three elven girls, he would have devoured them already.
