Is this what the Staff of the Tour is really about?
Looking at the spear in front of him, which was completely different from the previous Staff of the Ring and looked like a burning flame, Jenn couldn't help frowning. After that, he and Elise brought the unconscious Sofina and the spear back to the hotel in Phantasmal Star City, according to Elise's account, the signals and seals that were originally attached to the Staff of the Tour to track have disappeared, so Jenn is not afraid that the Tour de France will come to the door again, but then again, even if they do come to the door to ask the teacher, Jenn is also very doubtful that they will be able to recognize the spear in front of them as their "Staff of the Ring".
Then again, what's going on?
Sofina was unconscious, and the result of Elise's examination was that she was injured and had consumed quite a lot of strength, so I was afraid that she would not wake up in a short time. But even if she woke up, Jenn would probably find it difficult to hear any valuable information and clues from the mouth of Her Royal Highness, a princess who only likes to speak the four-word truth. Luckily, he had another subordinate to help solve the problem, and in fact, not long after returning to the inn, Jenn contacted Agatha, who was in charge of running a qiē in his dungeon, through Guò Psychic Connection, and explained the cause and effect of the incident. What Jenn didn't expect was when he heard him talk about the staff. Agatha also expressed considerable surprise.
"You mean to say that Sofina awakened the Scepter of Fire? Is that so? Your Excellency? ”
"Flame Scepter?"
"It's what your lordship calls the Staff of the Ring."
Luckily. Agatha didn't have the fault of Her Royal Highness, soon. She gave Jenn a detailed account of the origin of the Flame Scepter.
"The Scepter of Fire is a sacred artifact in our world, a powerful weapon that only the most powerful and worthy of respect and recognition of dragonborn warriors can possess. It's just that a long time ago, because there were some problems within the dragon clan, the flame scepter was lost, and since then, the dragon clan has been sending people to find the flame scepter. He also made a promise that whoever regains the Scepter of Fire will regain that glorious position. ”
At this point, Agatha paused, then continued with some hesitation.
"Actually, before Sofina and I came here, we were looking for the scepter in the same way..............."
I see.
Hear here. Jenn finally understood why Sofina was looking for the Staff of the Rings, and why the system was releasing the quest. It seems that the system is well aware of their relationship with the staff, and although Agatha doesn't say it explicitly, Jenn can tell from her attitude that they must have gone through a rather unpleasant journey of exploration before this, and eventually failed to die for some reason, so they were summoned.
But what made Jenn a little puzzled was listening to Agatha's words. This flame scepter doesn't seem to be an evil thing, but judging from its characteristics in the Demon Realm, it's basically useless for the dragons to ask for this thing. And in the face of this question, Agatha also gave an answer. It turns out that the true ability of the Flame Scepter is not to sacrifice numerous lives to increase the cast level. Instead, it has the property that it can draw the power of those who are attacked by the Fire Scepter and then strengthen the wielder. This means that the Flame Scepter kills and kills every enemy. Its owner would be able to gain access to the enemy's power.
It's just that this kind of thing sounds beautiful, but there is also a considerable flaw -- the power that can be drawn is unlimited. But there is a limit to what everyone can endure. It's like pouring a bucket with water, and it will definitely overflow in the end. And in Agatha's world. The dragon clan also has the ability to pursue the strongest way. So the strongest of them are qualified to take up the scepter, and in fact, the scepter is not only an honor, but also a test. The test begins when they pick up the scepter, and ends at what time they die. If those powerful dragons can't digest the power that floods their bodies in time, they will end up dying in an explosion. In fact, the previous accident was that the strongest of the dragons thought that they could obtain the full power of the Flame Scepter, and made a wrong judgment. Eventually, he couldn't bear the power and died, and the Flame Scepter disappeared in the explosion, and Agatha didn't know why it appeared in the Demon Realm and why it became like this.
Hearing this, Jenn finally understood the ins and outs of the matter, and finally understood why the Staff of the Tour had become the way it was. According to Agatha, this scepter could only be used by the purest and noblest bloodline of their dragon clan, and there would certainly be no such thing in the Demon Realm. However, the demons who originally picked up the staff of the ring must have also noticed this, so they modified the characteristics of the staff of the ring to transform it into a tool that the demons can use. It has modified the characteristic of the ring scepter to absorb the power of others to enhance itself, and this has become the current magic weapon that needs to absorb the souls of tens of thousands of people to activate the enhancement effect -- I have to admit that this is really the style of the demon race.
After figuring out the ins and outs of the whole thing, Jenn finally put his mind at ease, since this is not a sudden trouble but a historical problem, it is much easier to solve. In Jenn's system panel, it also marks that this task has been completed, but this task does not have much benefit for Jenn's dungeon, and the only benefit is the addition of a "strengthening slot" in the library. It allows Jenn to designate a magic equipment or prop with a "buff" effect to place in the library for "research", and the magic items placed in the library will bring a certain amount of improvement to the entire dungeon system, just like the flame scepter in Sofina's hand now, if Jenn designates it to go to the library's enhancement slot, then he will get the benefit of [summoning fire elemental creatures as a booster +1 and stat +3 when used as a booster]. However, Jenn didn't plan to deprive Sofina of it for the time being, in fact, after he heard Agatha finish about the flame scepter, Jenn immediately understood that in the game, this was actually an artifact item that multiplied the experience points, but there were restrictions on the user.
So instead of eating ashes in the dungeon, it is better to let Sofina take the rising experience, to be honest, Sofina's current silver level is too low, with the bonus of this flame scepter, she should be able to rise to the gold level in a short period of time - according to the strength division of the Klein Continent, it is to enter the legendary realm.
After finishing a qiē, Jenn returned to the Golden City with the unconscious Sofina and Elise, and he handed Sofina to Elise to take care of, the former was unconscious and could not take on the task of guarding the Golden City for the time being. The latter, on the other hand, had gained some understanding from the previous battle with the Storm Giant, and hoped to find a good place to meditate -- of course, this was Elise's statement, according to Jenn's opinion, the experience given by the Storm Giant this time was enough, and Elise should probably digest the experience and prepare to upgrade.
But it's no wonder, although it didn't kill the storm giant completely, defeating him was an experience. And what made Jenn speechless was that he went out this time and the credit was someone else's, and the hard work was his own. But this can't be helped, he is the master of the dungeon, and if the dungeon is not upgraded, he will not be upgraded, even if he kills more guys outside, the experience points will only be scattered to his combat units and not to himself.
Luckily, however, his battlefield is about to take shape.
Just as Jenn settled Elise and Sofina and returned to his territory in Passus, he quickly received a piece of information from Enoa, who had been waiting there, that the Glitter Empire had finally set its sights on him.
Pastan's fiasco can almost be said to have taken the whole Shining Gold Empire by surprise, they originally thought that a front-line division could even be used to kill a small border like Passus, but they didn't expect that the reality was completely opposite to what they imagined, the front-line division was completely wiped out, and there was not even a single living mouth left. Patilina's shelling almost blasted the battlefield outside Passus into the air, leaving nothing left. And this sudden scene made the Shining Gold Empire shocked and angry, like Pastan, they couldn't understand why there was such a strong combat power in this kind of border land, and what made them even more incomprehensible was why the Skar Federation had such a powerful force, but they didn't show it all the time, not only did not put it in those important areas for defense, but threw it in a wild place like Passus......... What the hell is the Skar Federation?
Under these circumstances, the Shining Gold Empire had to temporarily slow down its invasion of the Skar Confederation and send troops to the Passus region again to check on the situation. Judging from the information Enoa has obtained, this time the Shining Gold Empire is obviously planning to take this place seriously. Not only did there be a whole elite division, but even three cavalry battalions and the 3rd Guards Brigade.
It seems that the other party is determined to attack Passus.
"I really don't know whether to live or die."
After reading the information in Enoya's hand, Jenn snorted coldly. Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head to look at Enoa.
"By the way, have you already submitted the protest I asked you to convey earlier?"
"Of course, master."
Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Enoa smiled slightly.
"According to the time estimate, I think the protest should have been on the table of the Flash Gold Empire's front-line headquarters by now." (To be continued......)
