Chapter 259: Whispering Magic Tome (2 in 1)
"This necromantic plague plan can be used as a kind of evidence when submitting a mission. I estimate that it should be able to exchange for some merit points and the like," Bai Xiaowen said, "It can make the upper levels clearly understand the necromantic plague. In serious cases, take appropriate countermeasures.”
After putting away the plan, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were once again alone, taking out the golden treasure chest of Lich Ebizer.
Li Shuyi drew a quaint scroll.
[Withering Mist Scroll: S-level item, after use, it creates a fog with a radius of the user's spirit * 10 (meters). All lifeforms within the range of the Withering Mist will accumulate "Withering" layers over time. Each layer of wither effect will reduce its all attributes by 10%, stacking up to 5 layers. 】
After the reel description, there is a line of small print. To use this scroll, you must have the Meditation perk of Advanced Level 7.
"S-level items are really powerful. Unfortunately, it requires advanced level 7 meditation, and I don't meet the conditions for using it now." Bai Xiaowen said.
Bai Xiaowen's current advanced meditation is level 4, and he can break through to level 5 in a short period of time. At that time, under the title of "the strongest scholar", you will be able to reach level 6, but it is still one level short.
It takes a lot of time to exercise combat skills, so don't be in a hurry. However, Bai Xiaowen is very talented in meditation. He is a spiritual awakener, and he has a super brain. The width, breadth and duration of each meditation are far more than ordinary mage, and he will improve very quickly.
This [Withering Mist] scroll is most suitable for large-scale battles. Once used, it is enough to rewrite the outcome of a war.
Then, Bai Xiaowen drew the last trophy card from the Lich Ebizel's treasure chest.
The golden light flickered, and the pattern of a book appeared on the front of the card.
"Is it a skill book?" Li Shuyi said first, and after seeing it clearly, she shook her head and smiled, "Okay, it turned out to be equipment, I read it wrong."
This is a book-shaped piece of equipment called the Whispering Tome.
[Magic Tome of Whispering (binding after pickup)]
[Quality: Heroic (Gold)]
[Equipment position: Deputy]
[Equipment requirements: none]
[Attribute: Spirit +3]
[Additional skills: raving: designate a target (whether friend or foe),
Roll the dice to cast a random spell on the target. The more points you roll out, the higher the star level of the spell. Cooldown time 24 hours. 】
[Durability: 42/45]
[Note: It's all about technology! 】
"This equipment is a bit special. It seems to be very good. It also adds attributes and skills. These are the characteristics of super high-quality gold equipment," Li Shuyi said. "It's just that the additional skills are a bit confusing."
Bai Xiaowen read the text of the additional skills twice, and his face was a little weird.
"This babbling skill... Under normal circumstances, it's better not to use it."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head, "There are too many uncertain factors. Specifying the enemy as the target, what should I do if a BUFF-type spell is randomly cast... The mechanism of specifying the target first and then randomizing the spell is too tricky."
Li Shuyi understood.
The additional skills and random spells of this [Magic Book of Whispering] are not controlled by the wearer of the equipment. For example, Bai Xiaowen designates an ally as a target and wants to roll out a BUFF-like spell. What if he rolls out "Pyroblast"? The basin-sized fireball is no joke. And if you designate the enemy as the target, if you roll out a buff such as "Blessing of the King" or "Saint of Protection", it will be quite frustrating.
Sure enough, like the previous [Decision of the Adjudicator], a super-superior gold necklace can be encountered but not sought after.
"It's okay, this off-hand item is good as a normal gold outfit with +3 spirit," Bai Xiaowen said, "In a critical situation, you can designate the enemy as the target and try your luck - usually It is said that the proportion of damage and weakening spells is much higher than that of BUFF spells.”
Bai Xiaowen's Desert Eagle is a one-handed long-range weapon, which can be equipped with this [Magic Tome]. However, when using the additional skill of "Burst Mode" of the Desert Eagle, if the strength is lower than 20, you need to hold the gun with both hands, and then you have to take back the equipment of the deputy.
There is no problem switching weapons and equipment in combat. However, there is usually a little distraction when switching weapons and equipment, and if you do this in a fierce battle, you may be killed by monsters.
The treasure chests of the two bosses have already been opened. Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi are both outbursts of character. This kind of lightly watered treasure chest has opened a drop that exceeds the average value.
Finally, there is the treasure chest of the Dread Knight Commander Jericho. The team's kill contribution rate is 89%, of which Li Shuyi accounts for 64%, which is surprisingly high.
I have to say, "Zhao Yun's mark" is really powerful. Jericho has been riding on the skeleton horse, slashing vertically and horizontally, and the crowd's siege has done little damage. It wasn't until Li Shuyi activated Zhao Yun's mark, knocked him off his horse, and cut off Jericho's arms and legs within 30 seconds, that Jericho could only be slaughtered. Therefore, Li Shuyi's 64% kill contribution is normal.
Also, Jericho's battle rating is A, meaning a full 3 draws.
"You got a special item: Jericho's Journal. This item is guaranteed to drop and does not count towards the loot list."
An old diary appeared in front of him. The style is somewhat similar to Ian's journal.
"What is this?" Li Shuyi was curious.
"Don't look at it, I've already guessed it," Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "Jerico, it should be Ian's comrade-in-arms, a knight of the Ebon Front Adjudicator Force. He may have discovered the problem of Red Leaf City and came here to try to find out. The truth, but was calculated by Lord March and Lich Ebizel, infected with the necromantic plague, and became the Commander of Terror Knights."
Li Shuyi glanced at the log, and sure enough, it can be roughly confirmed with what Bai Xiaowen said.
"Fortunately, Bonita is gone, otherwise she will definitely be sad." Li Shuyi sighed.
Bai Xiaowen also had an indescribable emotion in his heart. He shook his head and said, "Okay, this is not reality, but the spiritual world... Let's see what's in Jericho's treasure chest."
The three drawing opportunities were used up in turn, and the spiritual world prompt message came:
"You got a special item: Broken Oath."
"You got the prop: the cry of the dead."
"You have acquired elite blue equipment: Knight's Bracers."
The Broken Oath is another temporary team building item. It is still limited to Awakeners below level 6 (including level 6). Two people team up to explore the spiritual world. In any case, the value of this thing will not be worse than a piece of gold equipment, of course, the best gold equipment that is bound is not necessarily.
[The cry of the dead: A-level item, after use, an elite horror knight will be summoned to fight for you for 600 seconds. Elite Dread Knights have Charge, Sweep, and Enslavement skills. Currently available 2/2 times. 】
The value of this item is close to that of [Bronze Man Command], and it is extremely effective when used at the right time. Needless to say, this kind of summoning props are most suitable for Bai Xiaowen.
The last [Knight Bracers] is a blue outfit, with only one simple attribute, +2 strength. This attribute is also relatively affordable, and Li Shuyi just used it.
After the boss's treasure chest has been opened, it is the turn of the elite treasure chest. However, these elite treasure chests are heavily watered, and the robbers' contribution to killing often accounts for 40 to 80%!
The reason for this is because Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi focus on three bosses. For elite undead soldiers and elite horror knights, they basically hit a dozen when they pass by, and it is reasonable to have a low contribution value.
With so many elite treasure chests, only two pieces of blue equipment were opened.
[Knight-style Greatsword] is a two-handed weapon with a high attack power. The extra 15% parry rate is the highlight, but the attack speed is a flaw, too slow. The second piece of equipment was called [Smooth Bone Shield], which was a light shield that could block a certain amount of physical damage, and was allocated to Li Shuyi as a spare.
Ordinary treasure chests are even more lackluster, and can basically be regarded as a small purse containing only psionic power points...
After opening the treasure chest, the power points on the two of them skyrocketed by nearly 20,000. Bai Xiaowen's loss of using Orochimaru was basically made up, and the total amount of power points returned to the early 60,000.
The excitement and excitement of the continuous lottery made the exhausted spirit of the two men recover a little after the battle.
"Come on, there's still a lot to do."
Hongye City has been occupied, but the city is far from peaceful. The surviving undead legionnaires had no commander and fled everywhere. Witnessing this terrible war, the ordinary human residents of Hongye City are in great panic.
Yes, Bai Xiaowen advanced all the way to the lord's mansion, and what he faced was basically the undead army. But it doesn't mean that the residents of Hongye City are all undead - you must know that there are tens of thousands of people in Hongye City, and if they all become undead, even if one person throws a bone, it can drown Bai Xiaowen's troops.
Those undead soldiers usually disguised as human figures, maintaining the fragile and false appearance of Hongye City.
After Bai Xiaowen invaded Hongye City, the undead soldiers tore off their disguise. The residents of Hongye City were originally frightened by the robbers under Bai Xiaowen. At this time, when they saw the familiar guards, they became undead monsters. Hongye City staged a big show of robbers fighting the undead. How to do.
Many Hongyecheng residents have chosen to run softly.
In fact, these people have already been infected with the necromantic plague, but the degree is relatively shallow.
The first batch of infected people in Hongye City were the officers and guards under Lord March. According to the description in the [Necrophobic Plague Plan], the lich Ebizel was also very cautious when spreading the plague. , spread slowly, try not to attract attention.
Even so, the abnormality of Red Leaf City still made Jericho, the judge of the Ebon Blade, puzzled, and this led to the follow-up incident.
Bai Xiaowen and the two walked out of the underground research institute and began to reward the robbers with meritorious deeds and settle the residents of Hongye City.
Bai Xiaowen canonized Kitts as a knight, and the fief was an abandoned farm in Baishi Town. This made Kitts overjoyed. He originally thought that the canonization of knights mentioned by the lord boss was just a talk, but he did not expect it to be realized so quickly.
A bandit turned into a knight, something Kitts never imagined.
As for which part of the fief is a place where birds don't shit, Kitts doesn't care at all. In any case, Lao Tzu is also a nobleman now.
The other robbers were all envious, jealous, and hated, especially the elite robbers who thought their strength was not weaker than Kitts, and their eyes burned with jealousy.
"Kitts' canonization is only the first step," Bai Xiaowen's indifferent voice suppressed the robbers' discussion, "In the next half month, I will confer the second batch of knights. Fight bravely under my command, I don't care. Whatever your background, if you make merit, you will have the opportunity to be promoted."
"Within half a month?"
The robbers were all surprised, this time, it was just within reach. This is also in line with the psychological characteristics of the robbers who are eager for quick success, which immediately makes many robbers glow.
Generally speaking, lords are very cautious when conferring knights. Because to be a knight means to give a fief, to divide a small part from one's own territory.
Bai Xiaowen then rewarded the wealth of Hongye City from the search to the robber guards in batches. It is true that Hongye City is much richer than Baishi Town. Bai Xiaowen only took out a small part of the gold coins in his inventory, so that every robber's pocket was full, even his hands were full.
Next, Bai Xiaowen wrote an announcement and began to settle down.
In the announcement, Bai Xiaowen wrote that he was ordered by the empire to come to Hongye City to destroy the undead lord Ma Qi and destroy the undead's lair. Anyway, it is not the first time that the tiger skin of the empire has been pulled over.
However, after the announcement, Bai Xiaowen told the truth about the plague of undead, and bluntly stated that the residents were likely to have been infected and would become slaves of the undead after death.
The reason for Bai Xiaowen's blunt statement is to find volunteers for the human experiment of the necromancer plague.
In the announcement, Bai Xiaowen detailed some symptoms of infection in the early, middle and late stages of the necromantic plague, and explained that scholars in the empire are now stepping up research on the treatment of the necromantic plague, requiring different stages of infection to do experiments.
After this announcement list was posted, not only did it not have the effect of calming the people, but it made the residents of Hongye City even more panic. No one wants to die and become mindless servants of the undead.
There was a slight riot in Hongye City. Some thugs felt that they didn't have many days to live, so they began to beat, smash, loot, and even murdered and set fire. However, Bai Xiaowen had already ordered the robber guards to be broken into pieces and patrolled everywhere. He caught a group of murderers who beat, smashed and looted, tied them all, and sent them to the underground research institute.
Two days passed, and Dr. Zombie had enough samples. Of course, not all of these samples were murderers, and there were several volunteers who volunteered as samples for human experiments.
Wherever there are noble people, there are also mean people. Bai Xiaowen could only ask Dr. Zombie to take care of those volunteers as much as possible, and not let them do experiments with too high a risk factor.
In the afternoon two days later, the robber guards were patrolling the city head of Hongye City. Suddenly, a sharp alarm bone whistle sounded.
