Chapter 19: The Holy Sword Upgrades
As the intimate guardian of the spellcaster, the gargoyle can be said to be the favorite of all mages, but since it is a mage, most of them will choose to make the best use of it, although the gargoyles as guardians are not bad, but it is a huge waste to be used as a bodyguard alone, so for many mages, gargoyles can be used as a ——— safe in addition to being used as a guard.
The same goes for these two gargoyles.
In their fragments, Rhodes found a lot of good things, as a level fifteen rare elite, the gargoyle's "drop" is really worthy of their rare elite status, in addition to gems, crystals and a part of the gold coins, Rhodes also found three magic items in it.
Ice Charm [Elite Item]: When attacked, it can automatically trigger the Ice Shield, which blocks 50~150 damage and is immune to water attacks.
Oath Keeper [Excellent Item]: Holders can increase Spell Effect by +5 and Spell Resistance by +5.
Ring of Mist [Excellent Item]: Activates a "Transfiguration Spirit" every 10 calendar days for half an hour
It's a very good spellcaster's equipment, and if you sell it to an auction house, you can definitely get a lot of money.
But alas, it's all the caster's equipment.
Eventually, the equipment was given to Lijie by Rhodes, who, as a spirit master, was not an offensive spellcaster, but it was a buff for her, so Rhodes gave her the Ice Charm and Oath Keeper, leaving the Ring of Mist himself. In the game, the skill possessed by this ring is quite helpful for people who farm alone, so Rod unceremoniously kept it.
However, Li Jie was very surprised and surprised that she had not done anything and had received two pieces of equipment for nothing, you must know that in the general mercenary group, although they will also get a lot of magical equipment when they go out on adventures, these equipment are generally handed over to the head of the group to sell, and then get money to maintain the operation of the entire mercenary group, and it is very unimaginable to directly distribute it to others like this.
The gap between NPCs and players can also be seen here. As a member of this worldly realm, the ultimate goal of the mercenaries is nothing more than to make money to earn a living, so even if they find rare equipment, most of them will not leave it behind. In fact, many small mercenary groups rarely take on those difficult tasks, and they even spend their lives doing third-rate missions that are not very good in the eyes of players, because the goal of these mercenaries is to make money and make a living, and that's it. And those who are eligible for magical equipment are generally highly respected and skilled figures in the mercenary group. As for the mercenaries who are not strong? Just look at the drooling.
But players are different, their goal from the beginning of entering this world is to have better, more, higher, stronger, better equipment, more experience, higher prestige, and stronger characters, which is what players are pursuing. Therefore, for them, magic equipment is actually not a rare commodity, and for players, they don't have to worry about rotting in their hands——— anyway, they can sell it when they find a better one.
It's like the three pieces of magic equipment in front of him, in Rhodes' opinion, this kind of thing is also level 10~15 transitional equipment, and then it doesn't make much sense, although the attributes of the ice talisman are good, but Rhodes doesn't need it, if he can have a high-level summoning elf of the water element, then he can also get the effect of immunity to water attribute attacks, so it is not a big deal for him to allocate this "low-end" equipment. He would not consider it unless he opened a legendary, pseudo-legendary, or ancient-level item such as "Sky Sword" and "Sage's Heart".
But in Lijie's opinion, these equipment are simply very "high-end", you must know that even if Lu Dao is the leader of a medium-sized mercenary group, the magic equipment on his body is only three or five pieces, and the magic equipment of the mage is more, but as an auxiliary profession, it is difficult for the spirit master to obtain equipment. And in terms of their position and nature, they generally don't need to. And now, as a spirit master of a small mercenary group, she actually got two good pieces of magic equipment in the blink of an eye? …,
This even made Lijie wonder if she was dreaming.
However, compared with Lijie, Mace on the side saw more from it.
As a businessman who travels from south to north, Mace can certainly understand how valuable a magical equipment is, especially these magical equipment, in Mace's opinion, even if it is auctioned at the most prosperous Carragher port in the Northland, twenty or thirty thousand gold coins are not a problem, but Rhodes gave these away, calmly as if he had a piece of bread in his hand instead of equipment, this calm is not the kind of young man who deliberately shows it in order to pretend to be cool in front of a beautiful girl, but from the heart——— that is, Rhodes really didn't pay attention to these magical equipment.
This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, Mace has dealt with many people, including mercenaries and nobles, but for them, these magical equipment are also quite valuable, and few people will throw them out so casually, and they will not be like Rhodes, as if they don't take these equipment into their eyes at all.
What does this mean?
This meant that in the eyes of this young man, this kind of magical equipment was not worth mentioning at all. And this performance can also be seen that this young man is likely to be from an extraordinary background.
If Metz had only regarded Rhodes as an ordinary member of the countless nobles on the continent before, then now he had begun to associate this young man with those long-established nobles or royal families, and only that kind of family would have a lot of magical equipment, and only that kind of family would look down on these things so much——— just like a person with countless wealth would not care about the gain or loss of a little money, although it may be a huge amount of money that ordinary people cannot obtain in their poor life.
This kind of thought made the fat merchant excited for a while, as a small businessman, he usually didn't have much chance to meet those long-established nobles, after all, those big nobles had powerful helpers, and a small chamber of commerce like him couldn't be eyed at all. And now that he has such an opportunity, if he can take advantage of it, maybe there will be some hope.
But this kind of thought is also fleeting, thinking about his pig-like performance along the way, although the young man didn't complain too much, but the fat businessman himself also understood ———that he didn't show anything worthy of the other party's attention at present, which made him can't help but be deflated again.
Rhodes really didn't care about those three pieces of equipment, in fact, what he cared about most now were the two heart-shaped gems in his hands.
Gargoyle Heart.
Artificial soul condensation aggregates.
This may seem a bit complicated, but if you think of a gargoyle as a robot, then the Gargoyle Heart is the chip in it.
The value is self-evident.
In the Dragon Soul Continent, alchemy creatures are very high-end skills, and creating life is the patent of the gods, even mages can't violate this, and artificial souls are their helpless choice under the push of the second. Because of this, complete artificial soul cores are very rare, and not every mage is able to learn them. But for mages, having an artificial alchemical lifeform is one of the highest goals they chase——— just as a handsome man must have a sports car to prove his worth.
This kind of thing is generally very tightly watched by mages, and there is very little circulation in the market, and the manufacturing volume is also very small, so the price is naturally very high. In a normal auction, more than 100,000 gold coins can't run, and if it's on the black market, it's even higher, according to the quality of the condition, the best artificial soul core can even be sold for millions, which is even enough to buy a lot of territory.
What's more, mages are very rich. ..., but Rhodes doesn't care much about the money, and his years of experience as a player have taught him a truth, money can be earned at any time, and no amount of money is enough.
But there are some things that money can't buy.
Another ability of Gargoyle Heart, for example.
Forced Boost: Summoning Elves Evolution +1.
The experience of the summon is shared with the wielder, and in general, if Rhodes gains 1000 experience points during battle, he will only actually get 700 points, and the remaining 300 points will be gained by the elves in battle. Although this one-third of the experience does not seem to be too much, it adds up to a tower of sand, which is also the reason why summoning a swordsman for what is going on makes it more difficult to climb to the top than other classes. In fact, according to the rules of the game, if Rhodes is another class, then his experience of eating a tenth-level five-person copy of an eighth-level profession should have been at least promoted to the twelfth or third level by now, but because he was shared by the blue bird and the star mark, Rod was only in his early tenths until this time.
As for his summons......
[Eternal Sword 10th place: Star marks, no attributes, can be fused ——— dust of history can not bury its dazzling brilliance.] Lv: 5, Glory of Victory Courageously Forward, Blade Characteristics]
The maximum level of the summoned spirit is level ten, and after level 10, you can get a chance to evolve. After evolution, not only will they change, but the level cap will be increased by ten levels again until the third evolution arrives. And the Gargoyle Heart's ability is that it can forcibly raise the level of the summoned elves to level 10 once, and then start the evolution. This will not only allow you to have more experience points left, but also reduce the time it takes to level up.
What can't money buy?
Time is something that money can't buy.
Rhodes didn't know what the level limit of the Star Scar of the Path was, but in his experience, the level of the summon card at the end of the deck was generally not too high, and three evolutions were the limit. If you smash all the two gargoyle hearts in your hand, then at least when fighting monsters of the same level, the Holy Sword that has been forcibly promoted to the rank will no longer rob Rhodes of experience.
But............
Rhodes pondered for himself, this set of Sacred Sword cards was very unique, and when he received it from the president of B&M, he was told that it was the only card in the world. At the time, Rod didn't take it to heart, but now that he thinks about it, he feels a little strange.
The only one?
In the previous system prompt, he was clearly told that he only got 1/10 of the Eternal deck, how did it become the only one? So what's going on with the remaining 9 cards? And this is the tenth, which is the last one, and there should be nine cards in front of it.
However, there is no such thing as this set of cards in the game, because it is just a souvenir in reality, and in the background of the game in the Dragon Soul Continent, Rhodes has not heard of any information about the Holy Sword deck. And it can't be hidden in the game, because this set of cards was born after he won the competitive tournament, because the guild he formed was called Starlight, so the company specially designed such a card for him as a prize and souvenir. It's impossible to add this kind of temporary product to the game system.
But give it a try anyway.
Thinking of this, Rod stretched out his right hand and held one of the gems in the palm of his hand, and soon, a line of system prompts appeared in front of his eyes.
[Discover the Gargoyle Heart (magic item), do you want to use it?] ]
Use.
Rod answered inwardly.
And with Rod's answer, the summoning circle that appeared on his right palm immediately flashed a vague glimmer of magic, and then, the dark red gem shattered under this light, turned into powder and disappeared. Soon, new information appeared in front of Rod's eyes again. ..., [Goal?] ]
Star marks.
Rod lowered his eyes and replied inwardly.
[Target—Star Mark—Forced Evolution]
[Level Up Complete]
[Is it evolutionary?] ]
Be.
The white and immaculate card appeared in Rod's hand again, and the brilliance it emitted made Lijie and Mace on the side look at it curiously.
And at this moment, a system prompt was also emerging from Rod's eyes.
[Evolution Complete]
[Eternal Sword 10th place: Star marks, no attributes, can be fused ——— dust of history can not bury its dazzling brilliance.] Lv: 10, the glory of victory marches forward bravely, the blade trait.
Snow-white wings protect all things and protect characteristics.
Holy radiance dispels darkness, piercing properties]
[Attachment Skills: Blade Technique, Wing Guardian, Star Vanity.] Can be used up to 3 times per calendar day]
Not bad!
Seeing this system prompt, Rod nodded with satisfaction, Star Scar has three special skills, and these skills are attached to weapons, that is to say, casting these skills does not need to consume Rhodes' soul power. And the number of times it is used three times a natural day is also considered to be of the highest quality, and it is conceivable that it will be able to play a great role in battle.
But the next system prompt made Rod slightly stunned.
[Mana condensation detected] ......,
