Chapter 452 Crystal Amulet
Joan took the lost and recovered "Branch of Irminsur" back into the storage bag, staggered back the same way, and stopped until he reached the body of "Shepherd" Idar, tore it off and hung it on the The animal skin bag around the neck of the corpse.
He had long seen that the animal skin pocket hanging around Idar's neck was actually a storage bag, and after tearing it off and holding it in his hand for a little analysis, he deciphered the activation spell and poured out all the items in the pocket.
Dry food and worthless sundries such as water bottles were thrown aside, and Joan picked out five things from them - a money bag, a sealed copper bottle, a crystal talisman, a book, and a book stolen from the Rawls Laboratory. "Clockwork Module".
Joan first opened the purse and looked at it, and visually estimated that there were forty or fifty gold coins and almost the same number of silver coins.
He stuffed the money into his pocket, thinking that primitive believers who aim at restoring ancient times carry coins circulating in modern society with them, which can not but be said to be a great irony.
Joan then picked up the "Clockwork Module".
This is a cube with a side length of half a foot, made of countless copper sheets stacked, each copper sheet is a "spring", engraved with 1-2 ring spell configurations, used to strengthen low-level constructs . These copper pieces are magnetically attached to a "hub spring" located in the center of the cube.
The appearance of the "hub spring" is similar to that of the "sub-spring", it is also a boxy metal plate, but its material is not brass, but a pure gold plate mixed with special magnetic materials, and its thickness is equivalent to that of "zi-fa". three times the size of the bar".
The golden board of the "Hinge Clockwork" is engraved with complex charms and geometric figures. Joan knew that this was the spell configuration of the 4th ring "Secondary Commanding Spell", but he was still unable to learn this spell, so he put the "clockwork module" into the storage bag and took it out to study when he was free.
"Shepherd" Idar's copper vase, Joan, is no stranger. He knows that there are dormant insect eggs in it. It is certain that they are "earth-digging insect eggs", and there must be "big stag beetle" and "bomb beetle". "Egg.
How do these eggs hatch?
Does it need to be injected with natural magic, or will it break out of the cocoon by itself after being exposed to air?
Joan didn't have enough awareness of this, so for safety's sake, it's better not to move around, so he tightened the copper bottle storing the eggs, stuffed it into the storage bag, and then picked up the crystal-carved amulet.
The talisman was about the size of a playing card, half an inch thick, with irregular edges and crude carving.
From the perspective of identifying works of art, this thing is neither good-looking nor expensive, and it costs more than a few dollars, but the essence of the talisman lies not in its appearance, but in the spell configuration engraved on it.
After some inspection, Qiao An confirmed that this crystal talisman was enchanted with 2 rings of "Fire Resistance Barrier". A level of fire energy damage.
If the damage is continuous, such as being in a fire, then the amulet will also continue to absorb high temperature damage, absorbing an energy level per second on average.
A person is tied to the stake, and the burns he suffers are almost 1 energy level/second.
Qiao An weighed the heavy fire-resistant talisman, and suddenly realized why Idar was able to safely escape the fire caused by the "fireball technique" and "alchemy bomb", and why he was not afraid of the "scorching rays" fired by his prosthetic eye.
A "Scorching Ray" can only cause 4 energy levels of fire damage, and cannot penetrate the fire-resistant barrier formed by this crystal amulet at all.
"It's a good thing."
Joan stuffed the amulet into his pocket. Whether it is arcane or divine, powerful and lethal magic is mostly of the fire attribute, and Joan's trump card—the treant transformed with the help of the "Branch of Irminsur"—is most afraid of fire, so with this Crystal talisman, you don't have to worry too much about fire attacks in the future.
Idar's last relic was an Upanishad written on a scroll of parchment, transcribing a metamagic art called "Silent Spell". After mastering this super magic skill, the caster can release the spell without having to chant the spell aloud at the cost of increasing the spell level of the 1st level.
Magic is divided into many subcategories such as divine arts and arcane arts, but metamagic skills are not divided into categories, and they are equally effective for both divine arts and arcane arts.
This super-magic upanishad was written in the "Wood language". After reading it, Qiao An breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he had learned the "Wood language", and there was no obstacle in reading it.
If Idar used the "secret language" invented by the druids to copy this upanishad, it would be a disaster. Joan didn't know how many brain cells would have to be exhausted to decipher that extremely anti-human code.
In any case, this incident validated the credo he has always advocated-knowledge is power. There is no harm in learning another language.
Joan put away the Upanishad of "Silence of Spells", cast "Mage's Assault Palm" and dug a big hole on the spot, threw Idal's body in and buried it, so as not to be found by passers-by and cause trouble.
After slapping Idar's grave with his palm, Joan turned into an eagle and soared into the air, turning around and flying to the Wrangler Valley. On the way, I saw two small figures walking towards this side, both holding shotguns in their hands.
Joan recognized Rebecca and Azhi, so he folded his eagle wings and landed.
Rebecca and Ah Zhi were looking for Joan, and they were all relieved to see him fall from the sky and he seemed to be fine.
"Joan, as long as you're fine, did the 'Shepherd' run away?" Ah Zhi asked eagerly.
Joan shook his head and replied calmly, "I killed him."
Azhi was stunned for a moment, unable to believe that he could kill Idal with his own strength, out of politeness, he didn't question him face to face, nodded and said: "That's good, we can rest assured now."
"Let's go back quickly. I don't know what's going on with Sister Meow. Brother Jack is dead or not."
Seeing that Joan was safe and sound, Rebecca's long-hanging heart fell to the ground, and she hurried back to the Wrangler Valley to join other companions.
"Azhi is too slow to travel on foot, and Rebecca's 'flying technique' is not as fast as mine. I'll take you back."
Joan spread his arms, hugged Rebecca and Ah Zhi respectively, and flew into the air with wings flapping.
Fortunately, both of them were relatively light, so Joan didn't feel too much effort, and flew back to the sky in less than ten minutes.
"Oh, poor big banyan tree... I knew it would be like this."
Rebecca looked at the gunpowder smoke rising in the valley and the big tree lying in the fire, her eyes were a little lonely.
Joan couldn't say anything, so he landed straight down.
"Hi! You all came back safely at last, but we are worried to death!" Thomas was the first to find Joan, and greeted him overjoyed.
Joan put down Rebecca and Azhi, turned back into a human form and asked Thomas: "I have already killed Idal, how is the situation on your side?"
"We killed Big Jack and captured Little Jack alive!" Thomas said cheerfully.
