Chapter 4 Artifact
Like a grain of "sand" in a clamshell that has been tempered for many years to become a dazzling pearl, a magic crystal mine that is as huge as a mountain and floats in the void of the astral world is blown into the land of God's Fall by a storm in the astral world, falling into the "God's Punishment Land". "Eye", like a grain of sand falling into a clam shell, after thousands of years of infiltration by divine power, the huge magic crystal ore is refined into a small magic crystal with a purity of 100%, which is called "God's Tears".
Whenever the "God's Eye of Punishment" wakes up, the "God's Tears" will be liberated and fly to a certain corner of the multiverse. Those who are lucky enough to pick up this artifact, if they are an arcane spellcaster, such as a mage or a warlock, may be recognized by the "Tears of God" and become the owner of this artifact.
...
Joan has heard of the mineral "magic crystal". It is said that it is a high-energy ore formed by combining the bones, spirits and leylines of ancient gods and demons. It can be used as energy to drive magic guides, steam engines and even guns. Alchemists and Warlocks have also created many novel devices using magic crystals as ingredients, so they are recognized as the most important mineral resources in the world of Vales. Joan's hometown, Yalfheim, has not discovered large-scale magic crystal rich mines so far, but it is said that Midgard in the north of Yalfheim and Jotunheim in the north are rich in magic crystal ore. It is famous that if the magic crystal mining, processing and export industries were not booming, the major colonial cities in the north would not be as prosperous and wealthy as they are today.
The magic crystal content of natural ore is very low, and the "industrial magic crystal" made after smelting and processing has a purity of only about 10%, and the price per pound is as high as 10,000 Gold Duga. Joan also heard that the most advanced magic crystal purification technology in the Vales world can only extract a magic crystal with a purity of about 20%, but the "Tear of God" in his hand is actually a magic crystal with a purity of 100%? !
is it possible?
He almost suspected that he was dreaming.
Qiao An weighed the spar in his hand, the weight was about one pound, and couldn't help but wonder how much it could sell for. At least it's worth a million gold durga, right? If someone really bought it, wouldn't he want to make a fortune, so why would he worry about the tuition fee of three thousand gold Dujia every year!
Joan shook his head, dispelling the idea of quick success. Through the spiritual resonance with the "Tears of God" just now, he vaguely guessed that the spar in his hand was a priceless treasure, and it would be too short-sighted to sell it for money, and he was destined to regret it.
"But if I don't sell it for money, what's the use of holding it?"
As soon as this question came to mind, Joan suddenly felt dizzy, and passively entered a state of meditation without external objects. Rows of glowing words appeared in front of his eyes, which felt like the "inner vision" had been activated. It's just that what is presented in front of him is not its own attributes, but an overview of the spar in his hand.

Tears of the Gods (High Artifact, Sealing)
·Limited Occupation: Arcane Spellcaster
·Enhanced Mana: Artifact holder's spellcasting attribute (Intelligence or Charisma) +2
·Mythological sensing: The holder of "Tears of God" can detect mythical creatures that exist around them. As the myth level of the holder increases, the sensing range also expands.
·Mythological power: The energy contained in "Tears of God" can be used to replace spell slots, super magic needs, mythic power, and drive magic tools. The current upper limit of mythic energy is 10 energy levels, and one consumed energy level is automatically restored every day. Each power level can replace 1 highest-level spell slot of the artifact master.
·The Philosopher's Stone: "God's Tears" is the first "Sage's Stone" born in the multiverse, and most of the other magical objects named "The Philosopher's Stone" are imitations. Soak the "Tears of God" in a cup of water for a few seconds, consume 1 energy, and get a cup of potion. As the holder's myth level increases, the potion produced by "Tears of God" will become more effective. The potion is only valid for the day, and it turns back to clear water after a day.
Current medicinal power: Secondary Restoration (effectiveness: relieve fatigue, restore attribute damage, delay the onset of toxins and diseases);
Path of Mythology: This function will be automatically activated after the owner of "Tears of God" completes the first stage of "Mythological Trial". At that time, the owner of the artifact will receive the "Mythological Master" career inheritance. Every time a stage of "mythical trials (by hunting mythical creatures)" is completed, the artifact will unlock a seal, providing the holder with more knowledge and power.

Qiao An hurriedly glanced at the introductory text that appeared in front of him. Many of the nouns were half-understood, and doubts inevitably arose. In order to verify that this was not a hallucination, Joan reluctantly suppressed his excitement and cast 0-ring inner vision. A string of Quenya spells with beautiful rhythms floated from his lips, and finally ended with a short and powerful character.
"Tercen!"
In the ancient elves, the word "tercen" has the meaning of "insight". Many divination school spells involving the function of "insight" use this word as the starting character of the spell, and "inner vision" is no exception.
When Qiao An successfully activated the "Inner Vision Technique", the scene in front of him changed completely, and the information about "Tears of God" faded, replaced by his own status introduction that clearly appeared in front of his eyes.
...
Occupation: Mage Level 0 (Apprentice)
Status: healthy
Attributes: Strength 10, Dexterity 12, Constitution 9, Intelligence 15, Wisdom 14, Charisma 16
...
The other attributes are the same as before, except that the intelligence attribute has changed from 13 to 15, which is enough to prove that the "Tear of God" in Joan's hand is not just a priceless magic crystal - this artifact can indeed enhance his intelligence Attributes!
Higher intelligence means more efficient learning ability and the opportunity to learn more advanced spells!
Qiao An couldn't help being elated, and tightly held the treasure in his hand. Even if someone put a golden mountain in front of him at this moment, he would not be willing to exchange "Tears of God"!
At this moment, he suddenly felt light in his hand, and the "Tear of God" seemed to turn into a cloud of air, disappearing from his palm without a trace.
Joan quickly spread his hands, but they were really empty. Is it just an empty rejoicing? His heart sank quickly, and disappointment rose like a tide.
However, at the moment when he was eager to find the "Tears of God", there was a coolness in the palm of his left hand, and that crystal clear and beautiful gem emerged from his hand again.
Qiao An was stunned for a few seconds, and gradually realized that this artifact could be absorbed into his body and stored away, and he could call it out with his mind when needed.
Joan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly replaced his disappointment with joy, and said softly to himself: "This is better, at least I don't have to worry about this artifact being snatched away."
Joan put away the "Tears of God", looked back at the unconscious girl on the sled, and felt a faint sympathy in her heart.
Through telepathy with "Tears of God", he now knows that this Asa girl is also a traveler passing by by chance. She saw the destructive explosion caused by the fall of "Tears of God" from a distance, and came to check out of curiosity. And he came into contact with "Tears of God" earlier than himself. It's a pity that this girl is not an arcane spellcaster, and cannot become the recognized owner of this artifact. She was rejected by the inner will of the "Tears of God", and fell into a coma after being impacted by divine power. It would be considered lucky to be able to recover a small life.
PS. Regarding the "mythical power" involved in this chapter, the relevant settings of "Pioneer PF" have been borrowed and changed.
