Chapter 299 The Oath of Ebon Front (2 in 1)
At the end of the dark treasure chest, there is a quest item that must be dropped: Absolen's head, this item is not included in the drop list.
Overall, the benefits of this parallel treasure chest far exceeded Bai Xiaowen's expectations, and Bai Xiaowen did not expect that he would be able to draw a piece of dark gold equipment from such a small probability.
It is conceivable that if the Awakened's own power is used to kill Abu Solan, the benefits will be so rich - after all, he is a high-ranking lord. Even though there is only one level difference between level 7 and level 6, the difference in strength is huge.
Back at the Black Rock Fortress, Bai Xiaowen found Nicholas immediately and chose to submit the mission.
"You can really kill him!"
After seeing Absolen's head, Nicholas was shocked. He and Absolen had just had a confrontation. Of course, he knew how terrible this lord-level powerhouse was.
After being stunned for a while, Nicholas's expression changed from surprise to joy.
"A-level hero mission: Kill the enemy chief has been submitted, complete evaluation: pass."
"You have obtained Merit Points of the Human Alliance Army*10000."
Just a reminder, no other rewards.
It stands to reason that the rewards of A-level hero quests should not be so small. Bai Xiaowen previously completed the B-level hero quest "The Truth of the Plague". In addition to rewarding merit points, he also rewarded a special item "Broken Oath".
However, Bai Xiaowen knew in his heart that he killed Abu Solon by means of a trick. The mission evaluation was good enough. The final reward must not be compared to the completion of the mission with a real knife and a real gun.
10,000 Merit Points is also very good, equivalent to a piece of semi-gold equipment.
Later, Nicholas said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the war to defend the Black Rock Fortress ended in this way."
With this sigh, Bai Xiaowen received a second prompt:
"S-level main mission: Black Rock's War has been submitted. Mission evaluation: good."
"You have obtained the Merit Point of the Human United Army*1500."
"You got the Broken Oath*3."
"It is detected that you have Broken Oath*7, and the side quest: Ebon's Oath Completion Condition has been fulfilled. Submit?"
"submit."
Bai Xiaowen suppressed the joy in his heart, and finally got the seven broken oaths, and he could form a permanent team building item.
"You lost the Broken Oath*7."
"You have obtained the Oath of the Ebon Blade*1."
Bai Xiaowen looked at the description of the oath of the black front, and it was exactly the same as the description of the task, so there is no need to repeat it.
As for the bonus effect after the actual team building, the captain needs to extract it when building the team.
After getting this permanent team building item, Bai Xiaowen's heart was completely settled. This trip to the world of Kane's plane, even if you only gain this oath of the black front, it will not be in vain.
It should be noted that the "below level 6" limit of the Oath of the Ebon Front is only for the level of the team leader and team members. That is to say, before level 6, Bai Xiaowen can choose to build a team at any time, and he can also absorb Awakened players below level 6 into the team.
As for after joining the team, it will not have any effect if some players are upgraded to level 7 or higher.
"Dior, Job and Ferdinand reported to me that the undead plague-infected and plagued undead all over the northern region have been forcibly transformed into zombies... This is also your plan, right?" Nicholas said, "You once asked I promised to destroy all the undead creatures transformed by the necromantic plague in the northern border area..."
Bai Xiaowen nodded.
Literally, all the plague undead in the northern Xinjiang have turned into zombies. This is another sense of "elimination", and it should also be regarded as Bai Xiaowen's completion of the task.
Nicholas smiled bitterly: "No wonder the Umbrella Project is so well prepared, you must have been brewing this crazy idea at the time."
Bai Xiaowen nodded again.
"I really don't know how to describe my current mood,
"Nicholas shook his head and laughed at himself, "Perhaps in the eyes of a smart person like you, I, and him, are just pawns? Nicholas pointed to the hideous head of Absolen Hazlit on the table, "I should be glad that you chose the human camp. "
"His Royal Highness, I want to correct a little," Bai Xiaowen said, "I chose the human camp because I am a human race, not an orc or a troll."
Nicholas waved his hand: "Forget it, you don't need to say so much, you killed the commander of the enemy army, no one in the human coalition will doubt your loyalty. And I, with this guy's head, return to the imperial capital. If so, we can finally make a difference..."
After a pause, Nicholas continued: "Your meritorious deeds in eliminating the plague undead in the northern border should have been commended by the imperial officials, but the way you used is undoubtedly unacceptable to the public, and the official should also take care of the public's emotions. So , let me grant you the reward in my own name."
Bai Xiaowen could understand what Nicholas meant. In fact, this can be seen as a punishment for completing the S-level hero task [Fighting the Plague] by tricks.
The official reward is definitely much better than the private reward. If Bai Xiaowen kills the plague undead and heals the infected people who have not yet mutated, he can get the official reward.
However, Bai Xiaowen took a shortcut and turned all the infected and the undead of the plague into zombies, cutting off their hope of being rescued. Such behavior must be mixed. Even if the imperial officials support Bai Xiaowen's actions in their hearts, they will not reward Bai Xiaowen.
However, after all, it is an S-class hero mission, even if the reward shrinks, it will not be much worse.
Nicholas said: "I give you two choices..."
Spiritual world rules prompt information:
"S-level hero side quest: Fight against the plague has been submitted. Quest completion rate: 44.95% (unqualified)."
"Please select your reward plan from the options below."
"Reward plan A: White Stone collar permanent fief order *1."
[Permanent fief order of Baishiling: Use Baishiling as your permanent fief. You can view and manage your territory at any time through the Lords page (whether you are on the plane of Kane or not). 】
"Reward plan B: Merit points * 12000; you can also choose two pieces of gold equipment from quartermaster Basil Heber as your additional reward."
Bai Xiaowen's slender eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Of the two reward schemes, scheme A is a bit vague. What is a permanent fief? There is no such information in Bai Xiaowen's memory, and the "permanent fief order" given by the rules of the spirit world only says that the territory can be viewed and managed, and it does not say where the specific benefits are.
Plan B is the complete opposite, directly giving the income content, and it is quite generous.
12,000 merit points is equivalent to two pieces of gold equipment, not to mention the two additional pieces, adding up to four pieces of gold equipment! What's more, these golden equipments are all optional, and you can choose according to the vacant equipment slots on your body, which is an immediate reinforcement to the team's strength.
However, since two alternatives are given, one point is proved.
Plan A and Plan B should be close to the same value - at least, the permanent fiefdom order of Plan A will not be much inferior to the four pieces of golden equipment of Plan B.
The careful Bai Xiaowen also noticed that the prefix of the permanent fief order is "Baishi Collar", not "Baishi Town"!
Don't look at the difference between the words, the white stone collar is the first generation of fiefs hundreds of years ago. It has not been reduced by successive inheritances.
"I choose the first item, Baishiling's permanent fiefdom order." Bai Xiaowen said.
Nicholas nodded and said: "My magic advisor and chief of staff, after knowing your identity as a visitor to the alien plane, are opposed to giving you this permanent fief, and advocate replacing it with the second reward. But I think... the current northern border , needs a stronghold of human beings, just an isolated and helpless Black Rock City is not enough. Although this attack of the remnants has been destroyed, the threat of the northern border is still there."
"Is His Royal Highness ready to leave?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"Yes, I am going to lead the army to break through the zombie group and return to the imperial capital." Prince Nicholas said.
"I hope to walk with His Royal Highness, we are going to Hongye City." Bai Xiaowen said.
Although Bai Xiaowen has "WD-03 camouflage liquid", it is not only him and Li Shuyi who want to return to Hongye City, but also the soldiers of the Baishi Army under his command, as well as the knights that Cecilia left him to command. .
With Nicholas' Imperial Legion in front, and rushing out, it can save a lot of energy. Of course, Bai Xiaowen will not miss the opportunity to rub the car.
In this regard, Nicholas naturally has no objection.
Going back to rectify the troops, Li Shuyi whispered: "I didn't expect that the S-class hero mission could be completed by tricky methods, and Nicholas was actually willing to admit it."
"Probably has something to do with the mainstream concept of the world of Kane's plane," Bai Xiaowen said, "After coming to Kane's plane, I have concluded that the mainstream concept here attaches great importance to 'contract'... which is often said in the West. The predecessor of the contract spirit. Regardless of the process, as long as the result meets the contract requirements, it must be fulfilled.”
Li Shuyi recalled for a moment, nodded and smiled: "It's a bit like the world of the Three Kingdoms plane, and it pays attention to faith."
"It's a bit similar, but there's still a big difference," Bai Xiaowen explained, "The Faithfulness of the Three Kingdoms Plane World is morally abiding by the principle of not violating one's own moral conscience. The Kane Plane The world's concept of contract is to keep the contract from the legal level, and the principle of not violating the law... However, when making a contract, you can play with words and take advantage of loopholes, just like modern commercial contracts. "
Li Shuyi nodded and said, "When I first came in, the black-hearted butler Jobe I met used a contract to actually occupy the silver mining rights in Baishi Town... It seems that the concept of faith in the Three Kingdoms plane is better."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for the time being... I have already got the permanent team building props, so let's build the team now."
Bai Xiaowen took out the oath of the black front and chose to use it.
"You used a special item: Oath of Ebon Frontier. After testing, the rarity of Oath of Ebon Frontier is: Elite."
"You created an elite squad. The maximum number of people the squad can currently hold is (2), and the level does not exceed (6)."
"Please draw the bonus effect of the elite squad. You can draw three times, and finally choose two of the bonus effects."
Bai Xiaowen sighed to himself that he had worked so hard to get the oath of the Ebon Blade, which was made up of 7 pieces of the broken oath, but it was only the rank of the elite team. Think about it, how rare should the team building props for the hero squad be?
Bai Xiaowen chose to extract.
"Additional effect item A: Toughness: Passive, increases the HP of all members of the squad by an additional 30 points."
"Additional effect B: Cruelty: Passive, which increases the critical strike rate of all members of the squad by an additional 5%."
"Additional effect item C: Traction: Active skill, which can immediately pull a team member within 100 meters to your side. The cooldown of this skill is 8 hours, and all team members can use it and share the cooling time."
The so-called shared cooldown means that one of them uses the traction skill, and during the 8-hour cooldown period, other team members can no longer use the skill.
All three additions are good. But the headache is that one must be ruled out.
"Item A is basically a must to increase your health..." Bai Xiaowen said, "Item C can save your life when dealing with dangerous bosses, so you must choose it as well. In this way, you can only give up item B... It's a pity , the crit rate bonus of item B is very helpful for your output."
Li Shuyi's current output, in addition to eating attack speed, also relies heavily on crit.
The first is the +4 special effect of the Demon Fire Jade Pendant, which is scorching hot, and doubles the additional fire damage during a critical strike. In addition, after the occupation level is raised to level 4, the newly added occupation skill passive "Mark of Thunder" requires a crit to stack the number of layers. The higher the crit rate, the faster the stack.
After thinking for a while, Li Shuyi put forward her opinion: "Xiaowen, I think it is enough to choose one of the three bonus effects in terms of life-saving. My current survivability is not bad, and I have your summoned creature protection. "
Bai Xiaowen pondered for a while. The reason why he chose AC is mainly for the safety of Li Shuyi's melee output. As for himself, with life sharing, 30 health points doesn't make much sense.
You must know that there are many equipments that increase physique and health, but very few equipments that increase critical strike rate.
Moreover, the team has just been established, and the level is only LV1, and the team can also be upgraded in the future. After the upgrade, the bonus effect of the squad will be improved, and the additional crit added by the "brutal" effect will be higher, and the growth curve is better than simply adding some health.
"Then choose BC. Item A is excluded." Bai Xiaowen made a decision.
After confirmation, a prompt message came from the rules of the spiritual world:
"You have established an elite squad, and the confirmed bonus effects are: brutality, traction."
"The current total number of squad members is: 1/2. You can invite an Awakener below level 6 to join your squad."
