Chapter 258: Red Leaf Lord's Glorious Sword (First Update)

In the underground research institute of Red Leaf City, in front of Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, there are a bunch of treasure chests.

Among them, there are more than twenty ordinary level bronze treasure chests, seven elite level silver treasure chests, and the most conspicuous ones are three gold treasure chests, which are the inheritances of the three undead legion leaders.

The first thing Bai Xiaowen opened was Lord March's golden treasure chest.

After touching the treasure chest, Bai Xiaowen got a hint:

"Your squad contributes 81% of the kills to the Red Leaf Lord March, and the rest is the damage caused by the Spirit Realm characters, and the loot score is reduced accordingly. ”

"The battle is rated B, and you get two draws that don't have a bye. ”

"You got 4050 psionic points. ”

Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the score drop is not very serious." "Red Leaf Lord Ma Qi is a level 5 leader, Bai Xiaowen is a level 3 hero class, and the B-level rating is relatively normal.

Before drawing the loot cards, Bai Xiaowen also got a special item from March's treasure chest.

[Fiefdom Order (Momiji Collar): This is the Plantagenet Empire fief contract that has been passed down from generation to generation by Momiji Collar. This item is guaranteed to drop and will not be counted in the loot draw list. 】

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi each drew once.

Bai Xiaowen drew a "Four-Star Equipment Enhancement Card", this thing he had drawn before, and it was very useful when rushing to key enhancement levels such as +7.

Of course, this thing is very useful for the Awakened who are rich in wealth, but it is basically not useful for the Beginner Awakened who lack psionic energy points. Fortunately, it can be traded and can hold its value to a certain extent.

Li Shuyi drew a long sword.

【Red Leaf Lord's Glory Sword】

[Quality: Heroic (Gold)]

[Equipment position: one-handed]

[Equipment requirements: 15 points of base strength, 20 points of basic agility.] 】

[Attribute: Bonus Attack 8~16]

[Skill: Drain Blood: Drain the blood of enemies, deal magic damage based on their level*5, and heal themselves by the same amount of HP.] 】

[Durability: 37/40]

[Note: The first generation of Momiji lords presided over this sword to expand the territory, but in the hands of the last Momiji lord, it was just a ceremonial sword.] 】

"This sword is so strong!" Li Shuyi's eyes widened when she saw the incidental skill [Absorb Blood], and let out a voice of regret, "Damn, why can a mage boss burst such a good thing......!" What a pity. ”

Li Shuyi shook her head again and again, stroked her towering chest and sighed.

Bai Xiaowen carefully looked at the name of the sword. His eyes widened, too.

"Wait...... Wait a minute," Bai Xiaowen patted Li Shuyi's shoulder, "Don't be in a hurry to be sad yet...... Look at this sword again, what's so special about it?"

"Don't look at it, don't look at it...... The more I look at it, the sadder I become. Li Shuyi sighed.

"Stupid, the back of this sword is not marked 'bind after picking'!" Bai Xiaowen knocked on Li Shuyi's head, "Moreover, there is no indication of 'binding after equipping'! This is the best gold equipment that does not need to be bound!"

Li Shuyi let out an "ah", and looked carefully at the [Red Leaf Lord's Glory Sword], and there was indeed no binding explanation behind it.

Bai Xiaowen assigned this sword directly to Li Shuyi. It wasn't until Li Shuyi got the spiritual reminder message that "You have obtained the golden equipment [Red Leaf Lord's Glory Sword]" that she came back to her senses from the surprise.

"Great, I can equip this sword in my right hand, and the original [Refined Spike Sword] in my left hand. Li Shuyi said with a smile.

There are two types of weapons: two-handed weapons (which require two hands to fight) and one-handed weapons. Generally speaking, a weapon of the same quality in a dimensional world of the same difficulty will have a lower additional attack power than a two-handed weapon.

However, there is also an advantage to equipping a one-handed weapon, which is that you can wear a light, medium shield on your off-hand to block enemy attacks. Many tank-type classes do this.

If equipped with a two-handed weapon, the attack speed is relatively slow, but the single damage is high, resulting in a high chance of maiming and instant kill. In addition, skills such as Whirlwind Slash have a greater range and higher damage. Finally, two-handed weapons are also more convenient for parrying enemy melee attacks, making them an excellent choice for violent warriors.

As for the agile warrior or assassin, there is another option, that is, "dual-wielding one-handed weapons"! Just like Li Shuyi, he attacks with a one-handed weapon in his left and right hands.

In doing so, some defense is sacrificed (weak parry, low chance), and the accuracy of effective attacks (i.e., the proportion of attacks that are not dodged, parried, or blocked by the enemy) and the accuracy of vital attacks are affected and decreased. These declining stats will not be reflected in the battle panel, but the impact will be real.

However, dual-wielding weapons also have the advantage of increasing attack speed accordingly! Each level of combat perk can increase attack speed by 5%.

With Li Shuyi's current advanced level 5 one-handed swordsmanship, if you dual-wield a one-handed weapon, your attack speed can be increased by 25%, and the first attack on the target can cause two damages.

Although it has a negative effect of decreasing hit rate and vital attack rate, it is for enemies in a normal state. If an enemy is hit by a controlled ability and becomes a fixed target that cannot be resisted or dodged, these negative effects do not exist.

Therefore, Li Shuyi's choice of dual-wielding weapon combat style is an inevitable path.

Next, Bai Xiaowen opened the golden treasure chest of the lich Abizel.

The team's kill contribution rate is 73%, and Li Shuyi's output exploded because of the reason for opening the Demon Fire Dance, reaching 39% of the kill contribution. This is also her first boss battle, and her kill contribution exceeds Bai Xiaowen's.

Although the 27% of the Bandit contribution in the plot reduces the combat evaluation, the Lich Ebyzer is a level 6 boss, and the combat evaluation is increased compared to Lord March. After coming and going, the battle score still stayed at B and did not decline.

It is worth mentioning that the Lich Ebyzer also has a special item that is guaranteed to drop: the Necromantic Plague Plan.

Bai Xiaowen opened the plan and looked through it slightly, which was roughly the same as he guessed, which was quite grim. The residents of the Red Leaf Collar, whether in the Red Leaf City or in the countryside outside the city, have the necromantic plague virus lurking in their bodies. Once it erupts, the entire Momiji Collar will become a paradise for the undead.

And the humans killed by the necromantic plague will lose consciousness and be controlled by the mysterious "ruler" after becoming undead. Boss-level lichs like the Lich Ebyzer will have second-level control, and people like Jericho and March will have third-level control.
