Chapter 193 Baby
Zhao Mai was overjoyed to receive eight destiny gold coins again. Taxis can be upgraded with some functions, but none of them are currently in extremely short supply, so after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Mai decided to resist the urge to spend and save these gold coins for emergencies. In case some unimagined situation needs to be solved, these "reserves" may be able to respond to emergencies.
Once you enter the treasure house, there is no reason to leave empty-handed. Zhao Mai took a small box and filled it with gems and some jewelry. He didn't know anything about gem identification except for the color. He didn't know how much the handful of diamonds he grabbed was worth or how to sell them. But one thing he still knew was that he must have become rich overnight.
If there are only thirteen countries in the world, each country has only one king, and each king has spent thousands of years accumulating wealth, then Zhao Mai just robbed such one. He suspected that the Witch King Karak had other treasure rooms. Taixi'an either concealed them, or he didn't know about them. Of course, he might not have found them. Maybe... Many fights over the division of spoils start with the word "maybe". Zhao Mai looked at the full box in front of him, weighed it, then closed the lid with satisfaction, leaving "maybe" behind.
"Shadili, I found a very beautiful necklace. Although it has no magic or psychic effects, it will look good on your neck." Zhao Mai did not forget to lend flowers to the Buddha, and took the time to make the beauty happy. Shatiri accepted with a smile, left a kiss, and then began to decorate Xiaowei with various gems, just like playing with a doll. Finally, under the water of freedom, victory and love, she regained a normal life belonging to a young person, and she is enjoying it now.
Weapons, armor, and magic equipment needed to be appraised centrally, so they were taken away by the Masked Alliance first, and Shadiri sent them back to him a few days later, with Cotander's naming and function description attached. After selection, Zhao Mai chose a hunter's blood spear as a weapon, tireless leather armor as a coat, and a hidden bracelet tied to his wrist.
The Hunter's Blood Spear is a short spear full of original handmade style. It is slightly longer than Zhao Mai's arm, so it is suitable for him to hold with one hand. But the maker of this spear - most likely a halfling - needed both hands to use it, so he polished two holding points at the front and back and a throwing point just at the center of gravity. About one-third of the front end of the weapon is a metal spear tip. The faded metal surface is mottled with rust marks and dried blood stains, but these marks cannot be wiped away with anything. Cotander pointed out that this spear requires psychic powers to communicate, and its true power can only be exerted after becoming familiar with the user. When Zhao Mai can make the hunter's blood spear emit a light blue halo, he will understand how terrifying it is: as long as he is injured by the blood spear, it will cause a bleeding wound; if this spear is thrown, it will It will continue to drill into the wound, continuing to increase the speed and extent of bleeding. Even if the prey pulls it out with force, the wound will expand again and the scene will be very bloody. As long as it is not trying to enlarge the wound, this hunter's blood spear will obey the call and fly back to the owner's hand, looking forward to the next hunt - it can definitely be called a murder weapon.
The Hidden Bracelet is a wristband made of animal sinew wrapped around a small obsidian ball. Cotande identified that the bracelet has a total of six obsidian balls, so it can hold six separate objects, and it also has limitations in terms of weight and volume. Since it can only be placed according to the smallest unit of objects and cannot be packaged, if you put sand, you can only put six beads; a pair of gloves takes up two beads, so it is not as easy to use as items such as dimensional bags and storage boxes. The only advantage is that it does not use space magic and does not conflict with other dimensional bags, and wearing it on the wrist means it is more convenient to access items. Zhao Mai can just put weapons, shields, etc., and they can be used at any time.
Compared to the first two items, the Tireless Leather Armor is much quieter and low-key. It is made of the skin of the black-scaled ghost lizard. It is bright black all over and has a simple and smooth shape. It can be worn as a vest. This is what Zhao Mai fell in love with at first sight. In addition to its good protective capabilities, this leather armor is particularly lightweight and has magical effects specially designed for long-distance travel. Wearing it to participate in marathon running will save about 70% of your physical strength than usual. If used in race walking events, the effect may be improved. Anyway, that’s what I said, go up to the fifth floor in one breath, your waist won’t hurt and your legs won’t hurt…
Shadiri very considerately recommended several pieces of armor and shields, but the Atas people prefer to wear metal, which will interfere with Zhao Mai's natural force and affect his ability to cast spells. In the Witch King's collection, almost all armors and shields were made of metal, with only three leather products and one wooden shield. After Zhao Mai thought about it, in order to reduce the load and save energy, he only chose the Tireless Leather Armor and put down the shield.
So Zhao Mai carefully selected psychic powers and magic accessories. Wearing a chameleon ring on his left hand allows him to better integrate with the surrounding environment, making it harder to be discovered when hiding, and he can also change his appearance at any time, which is very convenient. The other is a telekinesis ring, which can enhance the effect of the user's psychic powers in manipulating objects and help exercise other aspects of manifesting abilities.
These two rings are not the best in the Witch King's collection, but they are the least tainted with evil. Cotander noted that some magical rings and trinkets were within the range of Karak's magic and psionic powers for long periods of time and were affected by his influence. These effects will slowly disappear over time, but before that, the consequences of rash use will be to affect the mood, and in severe cases, it will affect the mind. The old man with white eyebrows wrote in a joking tone: If Zhao Mai is confident that he is mentally tougher than the Witch King, there is no need to worry about this impact.
Zhao Mai killed the Witch King, but that doesn't mean his power has surpassed that of the past. So even though there was such a good thing as the "Regeneration Ring" in front of him, Zhao Mai wisely chose to give up, leaving it to the mages of the Masked Alliance to slowly eliminate the influence of Karak on it.
Kharak is proficient in magic and psionics, and most of his items are related to these two. Zhao Mai is a druid, so magic-related staffs, wands and scepters are either unusable or poorly adapted. However, among some inconspicuous items, Cotander found some good things that Zhao Mai missed and gave them to him. An "extraordinary mind headband" looks like a sports sweat-absorbent headband, nothing special about it. But in fact, it has several psychic gems embedded in an inconspicuous place on the inside, which can greatly enhance the effect of psychic powers. Users will also have clear thinking and high energy, making them appear confident.
The only downside is that I look a little silly wearing it. However, Cotande's kindness could not be wasted, so Zhao Mai still followed his kindness and tied a supernatural spiritual headband on his forehead. This portrait made Shadili laugh non-stop until she told Zhao Mai that the extraordinary spiritual headband can be effective as long as it is on the head, so it can also be used to tie hair. Therefore, this thing became a good helper for Zhao Mai in dealing with long hair.
Another piece that looks a little silly but works great is the "comfort cape". In the extreme desert climate of Atas, what people here dream of is a comfortable cloak. This brown linen cloak with a hood allows you to always adapt to the surrounding environment and not be harmed by the heat. The impact on people will also be reduced because of environmentally caused diseases, excessive fatigue, and toxins in the natural environment (such as miasma). As a druid, Zhao Mai has very good adaptability, and adding such a cloak will be even more powerful.
"Why don't I leave this cloak to you." Zhao Mai looked up and said to Shatiri after reading the instructions left by Cotander.
"I have something better, so don't worry about it." The girl's eyebrows were arched, obviously very happy. "Most of the treasures have to wait until the influence of the Witch King slowly fades away. What you have here is only a small part, so you can take it with confidence. Cotander said, if you are not in a hurry..."
At this point, she smiled apologetically. After all, both of them were avoiding this topic, but since it has been mentioned accidentally, let's talk about it: "What Cotande means is that you are the one who killed the Witch King." ,should……"
"Actually, I don't care what Cotander means. I got involved in the whole thing just for you..."
Shatiri rolled her eyes and shook her slender index finger. "Do you think I will believe it? Anyway, if you dare not come back, I will...hehe, I won't tell you, I'll leave it to you to imagine."
"I will come back and try my best." Zhao Mai covered his forehead and restrained his imagination from running on this matter. With a sly smile on her face, Shadili was very satisfied with what she had caused.
