Chapter 1411 Liberating the Soul
Most of the goblin creatures do not leave a corpse after death, and the red hat is no exception.
When the common red hat is killed, it turns into a filthy pile of pitch-like residue that quickly evaporates in the sun.
The petrified body of the red hat elder was shattered by Joan's previous "fireball", leaving behind three magical items: a scythe, a pair of iron boots, and the red pointed hat on his head.
Joan put the three magic items left behind by the elder in the red hat back into the storage bag, then turned around and walked up to Martin, staring at him without saying a word.
Under his gaze, Martin couldn't help trembling again.
He knew Joan's intentions very well, so he quickly opened the storage bag, took out an amphora half a foot high and was carved from a whole piece of black agate, held it in both hands, and handed it to Joan with trepidation, but he didn't Dare to meet his gaze.
Joan took back the "soul-binding bottle", chanted the mantra taught by Master Rawls in a low voice, and checked the soul stored in the bottle.
Inside the soul-binding bottle, a total of 20 souls are imprisoned, of which 18 are the souls of domestic animals that died naturally, and the other two are the souls of humans.
Joan originally planned to release all the souls in the normal world, but he hesitated when the matter came to an end. He took a deep look at Martin who was frightened, and finally released only Master Rawls and the animal souls he had collected during his lifetime. However, only the soul of "Old Owl" Walter Lee was still sealed in the bottle.
19 liberated souls floated under the afternoon sky.
Among them, the light emitted by 18 souls is relatively weak, like a candle that is about to be extinguished, but the soul belonging to Master Rawls is extremely hot, like a burning torch, showing that he was in the middle of his life when he was brutally murdered. The most energetic stage should not have ended life like this.
Joan sighed softly as he watched the sky gradually fade away, heading for the spirit world or the soul of the kingdom of God.
He can only liberate the soul of Master Rawls, but he has no ability to bring the teacher back to life.
But Joan firmly believed that one day, he would finally fulfill the oath he made in front of the teacher's body and bring him back to the world.
Martin watched Joan's every move, especially when Joan released the soul in the bottle, Martin was so nervous that he almost passed out.
It wasn't until he confirmed that he hadn't released another human soul in the bottle that Martin breathed a sigh of relief as if he had escaped from the gallows.
Over the past year, Martin has spent a lot of time studying the soul-binding bottle, but he still can't tell which of the two human souls sealed in the bottle is Master Rawls and which one is Walter Lee whom he hates so much.
Even so, when he saw that Joan had only liberated one of the human souls, he guessed that it must be Master Rawls, and Walter Lee's soul was still sealed in the soul-binding bottle.
Joan has no grievances with Walter Lee, and there is no reason to treat them differently. Since he did not liberate Walter Lee's soul, his intention is self-evident.
Tears blurred Martin's eyes, and thanked Joan with a sob full of gratitude.
Joan turned to look at him, a little warmth appeared on his indifferent face.
"Senior Martin, please take care."
After a simple farewell, Joan put away the "soul-binding bottle", held Ruby's hand, and disappeared into a beam of teleportation light that soared into the sky.
A few seconds later, Joan and Ruby teleported directly to the door of their apartment.
When they came back, the landlady had just baked cookies and invited Joan and Ruby to tea.
The two only drank something at the tavern in Bucks Town at noon, and then they were busy dealing with the Red Hat Thieves. They didn't bother to eat lunch. At this moment, their stomachs were growling, so they sat down in the living room and drank tea with Mrs. Anderson eat dessert.
Mrs. Anderson chatted with them for a while, then took the three dogs for a walk, and asked Ruby if they wanted to go for a walk together.
As for Joan, the old lady didn't even bother to ask, anyway, this otaku would definitely not go for a walk with her.
Ruby has been running from morning to now, from Bailun Mountain to Buckstown, her legs are sore from exhaustion, she really doesn't want to go out and chase the dogs around, so she stays at home with the cats who don't need to be walked Play.
After Joan finished her refreshments, she opened the storage bag on the coffee table in the living room, and took out the spoils she got today to check them out one by one.
The scythe seized from the red hat elder is a very good magic weapon.
Joan used the No. 4 rune to identify it. In the terminology of the enchanting industry, this weapon is called "+1 Sharp Scythe".
The sickle is attached with a 3-ring "Sharp Edge Technique", which has the effect of temporarily making the weapon sharper and sharper, thereby significantly increasing the attack power during the duration of the spell.
The improvement effect of "Sharp Edge Technique" is different for different weapons. For sword-like slashing weapons and spear-type piercing weapons, the improvement effect is more significant, usually around 10% to 15%.
For example, the sickle seized from the elder of the red hat, after being enchanted with the "sharp edge technique", the average attack power of each hit has increased by about 13%, which is still very powerful.
In fact, Joan had seen the "Sharp Edge" scroll in the Arcane Library of Midgard University, but he was not willing to spend money to copy it, mainly because of two factors.
First of all, Joan himself is a mage, and he rarely fights people desperately with a knife. Even if he learns the "Sharp Edge Technique", a spell that enhances weapon damage, there is little chance of it being useful.
In addition, the "sharp edge technique" has a major flaw, that is, it is ineffective against "bludgeoning" weapons that are neither sharp nor sharp, such as sticks and war hammers.
For Joan, who is obsessed with obsessive-compulsive disorder who pursue perfection, this defect makes him feel that it is not worth spending money to learn this 3-ring spell.
Having said that, if it doesn't cost money, Joan is still willing to learn this spell. Even if he can't use it himself, it will still be useful when he helps others make magic weapons in the future.
Thinking of this, Joan spread out the spell book, unscrewed the pen, and copied the 3-ring "Sharp Edge Technique" that was analyzed from the sickle.
The next thing Joan identified was the "red hat" on the head of the red hat elder. Unlike ordinary red hats, this hat is actually a strange thing!
After the appraisal, Joan found that the elder's red hat was bound with some kind of supernatural ability, the effect was similar to the druid's 3-ring natural magic "rejuvenation", as long as it was worn on the head, it could slowly restore life and speed up the healing of wounds speed.
The last magic item left by the elder red hat is the spurs mounted on the iron boots.
Joan carefully removed the two star-shaped spurs with rollers from the iron boots. After identification, it was found that there was a ring of "jumping" on the spurs.
This spell can greatly enhance the jumping ability of the holder. Specifically, the long jump distance is increased by an additional 30 feet, and the jump height can be increased by 10 feet.
