Chapter 231: Counting the Harvest
According to the systematic description on the scroll and the mark seen earlier, it is deduced that this dungeon is indeed the dungeon of Vaolek, the leader of the Eight Masters in history, and even his last hiding place. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But his strength does not match the historical record, this is too difficult to manufacture with the scroll, the consumption of A-level, the effect is infinitely close to A, this kind of scroll is estimated to be only possible by people of Jace Kode's level, why can the head of the eight masters who can only release C-level spells in history make such a scroll?
In addition, there is also an unsolved mystery about the magic lock on the island, the Three Towers Alliance still does not know who arranged the magic lock on such a remote island for what purpose, if it is really done by Vaolek alone, his strength is immeasurable, at least Jeskode can't build such a big lock with the effect of reversing life and death with his own strength, maybe Nikolai can, he is good at alchemy.
Of course, it is also possible that after Vaolek gave up this dungeon, another powerful mage came to arrange the puzzle lock, to be honest, this possibility is too low, and it is too coincidental, and the coincidence is unbelievable.
If all this was Vaolek's arrangement, what was his purpose? Experiment?
The things consumed to arrange the magic lock are not to arrange a magic array casually, the materials and energy required are astronomical, and the magic lock and the magic array are the same, there must be a very powerful item as the array eye, this item must at least have an epic level to qualify, the era of Vaolek's life, magic is far less developed than it is now, and there are only a handful of items containing great power.
But he still did it, and successfully arranged the lock, and the effect has continued to this day.
With so much effort, you told me it was just an experiment?
An Yizhi said that he didn't believe it, Vaolek must have his purpose, mages are a group of guys who prioritize their sanity and efficiency, as the best among mages, Vaolek can't spend so much energy for experiments.
As for the purpose......
Leaving aside the secrets hidden on the island, the trio's search in the alchemy lab doesn't stop.
Getting the Returning Circle Scroll was a good start, and An Yizhi was looking forward to finding some other things to increase his strength, especially knowing that he would face an epic mission in a few days, and he might have to face the Demon Lord face to face, and he couldn't let go of anything that could increase his strength.
The equipment of this alchemy laboratory is very complete compared to the mages of Vaolek's time, in addition to a series of workbenches and utensils used to make objects, there is also a beautiful stone bookshelf more than one person high, but unfortunately, those magic books that may have recorded Vaolek's thoughts and even spells are now broken by time, and no one can restore them.
Secretly said that it was a pity, if there were one or two C or D-level skills in the bookshelf, even if they didn't come in vain, but now there was only a pile of fly ash left.
"Master, there's a word on it"
Hella reminded.
Got a word?
Ann froze, then looked at where Hela was pointing.
The line she said was on the partition of the bookshelf, surrounded by ashes from the pages so it was hard to read, and Hela had a good eye to see only a scaly armor.
He gently swept away the pile of ashes with his hand, and then whispered the words engraved on it:
"To my best friend, I wish you what you want"
The signature is Irma. Kuks.
One of the Eight Masters, John's ancestor?
The relationship between the eight heroes is indeed good, the Cooks family can find the magic book with the coat of arms of Vaolek, and the dungeon of Woolek can see the bookshelf presented by Kuks.
In this way, the magic book that John gave to Ann was not brought back by a certain generation of clansmen when they went out on an adventure, but it was originally something from Vaolek, which was given to Cooks as a gift, and the D-class spells of that era were still very valuable, so it can be seen that the relationship between the two may not be ordinary.
However, according to Helana's records, Cooks, one of the Eight Masters, is not married to Vaulek, so what is the story here?
While gossiping about this, Elph came over with a dagger.
"I only found this in the cabinet over there, and some metal ingots"
It was a strangely shaped dagger, more like a sharp metal thorn than a dagger, it was too narrow and thin to look like it could break at any moment, but the edge could still flicker in the light of the light spell, making people's hearts cold.
It's called Frostthorn, and it's an elite dagger that has a special effect that adds frost damage to hit the target, making it a very good weapon for a highly agile character like Appletea.
It's worth mentioning that although the effect of this dagger is relatively simple and general, the material of this dagger is very dick, and the description says that it uses cold iron from the dark region, so the basic attack power of this dagger is very high, and its toughness is by no means as fragile as it seems on the surface.
With such a dick of materials, the final product turned out to be just an elite level?
On second thought, this may also be the cauldron of time, and the lack of magic power replenishment for thousands of years has made the magic effect of this dagger gradually weaken, and now it has become an elite level, and when it was first forged, it may have been a perfect level.
Ann turned the dagger over with one finger, and he saw a Vallek logo on the hilt, and a line of text engraved on one side:
'To Misdr, friend of the elves'
"Take it, this is what Vaolek gave you tree elves"
Mi Si Zhuo is the Tree Elf Prophet, and besides, he really doesn't like this dagger with one finger, so he returns it to Elph, but he is more interested in the metal ingot that Elph mentioned.
Those things were placed under the enchantment table, a cabinet with a glass door, in addition to a few metal ingots, there were some half-finished weapons, but they were all unenchanted, so they became ornaments in the passage of time, and the wooden and leather parts had completely decayed, leaving only a metal blade, giving An Yi the illusion that he was looking at the unearthed artifacts.
In other words, from the perspective of time, everything in this is an unearthed cultural relic......
As for the metal ingots, this did not disappoint Ann Yizhi, who found two pieces of mythril, two pieces of pure gold, and a piece of meteorite iron through the introduction of the items that came with the system.
Mithril is a very rare metal, lighter than aluminum, but very tough and has excellent magical properties, this metal has appeared in many novels and works, the most famous is Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
When he first read the novel, Ann Yizhi wanted to see the Mithril shirt in particular, and Tolkien described it as 'light as a feather, tough as dragon scales, and as malleable as the finest fabric'.
These two Mithril ingots were similar to what Ann Yizhi thought, they were very light, and with his 2 points of weak strength, he could easily lift two pieces with one hand.
Mithril can make a lot of things, jewelry, weapons, wands, tiaras, of course, what Ann Yizhi wants most is the Mithril shirt in the Lord of the Rings, he also wants to try the feeling of invulnerability, even if the materials are not enough, it should be okay to make a vest, right?
However, it is not easy to make Mithril like that, blacksmiths who can do this kind of craft are not so easy to find, at least not in Amen City, and the current level of blacksmiths that players can access is estimated to not even know how Mithril melts.
Since Mithril is said, you can't ignore Adamantite.
Just as Mithril is not silver, Adamantite is not naturally gold, it is a silvery-blue metal with a certain sheen.
This metal is worth the same as Mithril, but its properties are almost completely opposite to Mithril, and what they have in common is that they are relatively light and very tough.
Adamantite has a very high resistance to magic, in other words, it is a natural magic immunity, and armor made of Adamantite can easily resist the attack of spells even if it is not enchanted (and it is usually difficult to enchant), like the previous trial in the Star Tower, the arrow that shot through the Book of Ann's Finger Shield was made of Adamantite.
If you add even a little Adamantite to your weapon, it will greatly enhance the performance of the weapon, and a weapon made of pure Adamantite also has an innate ability that can ignore metal protection, in other words, a Adamantite weapon and an ordinary weapon will go head-to-head, and ordinary weapons will be broken by Adamantite weapons even if they are of a higher grade.
Finally, there's Meteorite Iron, which, as its name suggests, is not mined in the ground like the first two metals, but is a matter of pure luck.
It can only be found for a short time after the meteorite falls, and if it hits the ground for too long and is not treated, the meteorite iron will turn into ordinary iron ore.
There is no detailed explanation of the characteristics of Meteorite Iron, because almost every piece of Meteorite Iron has different properties, some like Mithril and Adamantite Gold, and some have some magical functions.
For example, An Yizhi pointed to the piece in front of him, it was unusually light, if it weren't for the feeling of clenching the entity in his hand, An Yizhi would even think that he was touching a piece of air, as if he couldn't feel its quality.
As for what kind of function it has, it can only be known after it is made into equipment, and the item description of the system is only a short description, and the more detailed part needs to be explored by the player himself.
Of these five metal ingots, Ann Yizhi plans to make a robe out of Mithril, or at worst a waistcoat, the adamantite can be sold if it is not needed, and the meteorite iron can be used to make a staff, although only if he finds a blacksmith who can make them and a mage who can enchant them.
Enchantment is good, Nikolai is the strongest alchemist in the mortal world, well, there is no one this time, it shouldn't be a problem to let him help with enchantment the next time we meet, the main thing is how to make them into equipment, which is difficult.
Compared to many other cities in the game, Yamen City is only 200 years old, which is too young, and the result of the lack of historical accumulation is naturally that there are no hermits. Ann's quest to find a blacksmith with extraordinary strength may need to go to other cities with a much older history, and Ann knows that there is a place in the Overworld known for crafting weapons.
- The capital of the dwarves, the city of the pits.
