Chapter 281 Dividing the Spoils
The holy light was so powerful that even in the dense forest, one could feel the movement more than ten kilometers away.
There were ogre tribes at the source of the Kaiya River, so Richard, Deng Lejin and others did not dare to stay here for too long. After cleaning up the battlefield, they immediately moved to the lower reaches of the Kaiya River.
There were dozens of magic equipment on the twenty or so necromancers, but some of these magic equipment were only for necromancers. The magic equipment for necromancers was to be handed over to the Dawn Church for destruction. The remaining ten or so magic equipment was not very valuable, and the total was only about one or two thousand gold coins. Richard asked the low-level magicians of the Dawn Church and the Harland Mage Association to divide it.
A complete space altar and teleportation gate were built on the seventh underground floor of the Mage Tower. These two treasures are priceless to a mage organization.
Although the Harland Territory has built two mage towers, there is no space altar and teleportation gate. Although Richard, Sophia and others have mastered the four-ring magic short-distance teleportation, they cannot open the portal without the space altar, and the effect of this spell is equal to zero.
This time, Savio was successfully killed and the complete space altar was seized. The intermediate magicians of the Harland Mage Association can use teleportation near the Mage Tower, which is equivalent to mastering a game prop return order.
With the space altar, there is an additional guarantee for safety, and the foundation of the Harland Mage Association has been strengthened.
In addition to the space altar and the portal, Savio also has a space magic equipment, the Glutton Stomach. This space magic equipment is also a legendary prop, with a space of 120 cubic meters. Unfortunately, the Glutton Stomach has a certain degree of corrosiveness inside, and long-term storage will corrode the stored items.
Compared with Richard's Starlight Bottle, the quality of this magic equipment is slightly worse.
In the Glutton Stomach, in addition to some magic materials, there are two legendary items.
The magic materials were divided equally between Richard and Deng Lejin. One of the two legendary treasures was the dragon crystal of the legendary first-level green dragon. This dragon crystal was also the energy core of Savio's construction of the Mage Tower.
The other was the Death Tower's most famous holy artifact, the Bone Flute of the Dead. This legendary magic equipment was made from the ribs of the Undead Lord and the soul fire of the legendary lich. Using the magic power of negative energy attributes to activate the bone flute, a large number of undead can be manipulated.
If it weren't for this magic item, Savio, a nine-ring necromancer, would never be able to control more than a thousand undead.
This legendary magic item is a powerful magic equipment of the legendary third level, which is a top-quality item for necromancers. Mastering this magic item is equivalent to a huge bonus for necromancers.
If it weren't for the Bone Flute of the Dead, Savio, a nine-ring mage, with some magic apprentices and low-level mages, could not fight against more than twenty mid-level professionals in the crusade team.
A legendary necromancer, using this magic item, can manipulate tens of thousands of undead armies, enough to compete with the main army of the Grant Kingdom.
The reason why the legendary wizard Talrasha of the Tower of Death was so famous was that the Bone Flute of the Dead was also a very important reason.
Talrasha was killed by Albert Sacco, the president of the Magic Council. Unexpectedly, this legendary magic equipment fell into the hands of Savio. It is rumored that Savio is Talrasha's illegitimate son, which seems to be true.
This powerful legendary magic equipment is well-known in the Magic Kingdom of Markholm.
Richard and Deng Lejin led people to walk more than ten kilometers along the lower reaches of the Kaia River, came to a safe place, and began to discuss the division of the spoils.
The Bone Flute of the Dead is a treasure that the Dawn Church must obtain. The church will never let this powerful legendary artifact fall into the hands of the necromancer, a public enemy of mankind.
Before organizing the crusade team, Cardinal Senna Walton personally instructed that once the Bone Flute of the Dead was seized, it must be taken to the headquarters of the Dawn Church for sealing.
Moreover, the Church of Dawn also played the most critical role in this battle. It was with the Holy Light Token that Savio and others were killed.
After discussing with Richard, Deng Lejin decided to take only the Bone Flute of the Dead, and the rest of the spoils would be divided between Richard and the officers of the Mad Lion Legion.
The commander of the Mad Lion Legion was Uncle Bernie, and of course he could not compete with Richard for the spoils. Moreover, the role played by the Harland Territory in this battle was far greater than that of the soldiers of the Mad Lion Legion. After all, the Mad Lion Legion did not send magicians to help. Without magicians, melee fighters alone could not defeat the plague food controlled by Savio.
Barely defeating the opponent would inevitably result in heavy casualties.
In the end, the Harland Territory was allocated the legendary green dragon crystal, the space altar and the portal, and the glutton stomach, a space magic equipment, was given to the Mad Lion Legion.
The Harland Territory has the Starlight Bottle, and the glutton stomach is like a chicken rib to Richard, basically useless. But for the Mad Lion Legion, this magic equipment is extremely valuable and is a strategic magic item.
The Glutton Stomach is a legendary first-level magic equipment with a space of 120 cubic meters inside, which can store hundreds of tons of baggage.
Hundreds of tons of baggage appearing on the battlefield can sometimes play a key role.
In the entire Grant Kingdom, there is only one space magic equipment that exceeds the Glutton Stomach. Most space magic equipment has an internal space of less than one cubic meter and can only be used by individuals. Wingdings: ♦︎♦︎⬧︎♦︎◆︎⌧︎♦︎♦︎□︎❍︎
Although the glutton's stomach will corrode the stored items, it is a legendary magic item after all, which can play a key role in war. For a country and a legion, its value is a few points higher than the legendary first-level green dragon crystal.
After dividing the spoils, Richard saw that the sky was getting dark, so he ordered to start camping.
Being in a dangerous environment, the team members naturally have to be cautious. In the camp, there are not only open sentries, but also dark sentries and mobile sentries. Even Richard, Deng Lejin and other senior officials have to take turns to be on duty.
Time passed very quickly. Richard slept for four or five hours and the magic alarm clock woke him up. He roughly estimated the time and it was about two o'clock in the middle of the night.
Richard woke up Sophia, who was sleeping in her clothes, and walked out of the tent together to take the place of Deng Lejin and Delian.
"You two should take time to rest. It's our turn in the second half of the night."
At four o'clock in the middle of the night, when people were most sleepy, Richard suddenly felt a little movement, as if some crisis was coming.
After his mental power broke through 20 points, Richard's hearing, smell, taste and other five senses all surpassed those of ordinary people. Even his mysterious sixth sense awakened the special talent of danger perception.
After noticing the abnormality, Richard immediately notified Sophia to be careful, and quickly came to the entrance of the camp to notify the sentry.
Everyone stared at the surroundings carefully, observing every move around them.
It didn't take long for Richard's nose to smell a strong fishy smell, which was exactly the smell of the ogre. Following the direction of the smell, Richard decisively released a powerful fireball.
The fireball hit the darkness fiercely, the ground shook violently, and an adult ogre was immediately hit by the fireball.
Richard is already a six-ring magician with 44 points of mental power, and his mental strength is far greater than that of a nine-ring magician.
When his mental power exceeds 30 points, Richard obtains a powerful spellcasting talent. When the same magic power is invested, the power of the spell is doubled.
When his mental power exceeded 40 points, Richard also gained the talent of magic doubling, and his mental power conversion into magic doubled. Although he and Sofia are both six-ring magicians, Richard's magic power is about three times more than Sofia's, and his combat ability is far stronger than Sofia.
Although he has not yet been promoted to a high level, Richard's magic power is stronger than that of ordinary nine-ring magicians. Unless the mental power of a nine-ring magician also exceeds 40 points and obtains three powerful talents, it is possible to defeat Richard by relying on the power of high-ring spells.
There are eight nine-ring magicians in the Grant Kingdom. The most powerful Pansy Grant has no mental power exceeding 40 points. It is rumored that he has obtained a powerful spellcasting talent, and he may not be Richard's opponent alone.
Some famous magicians in the Markholm Magic Kingdom have made great pioneering contributions to magic research. After entering the ninth ring, their mental power may exceed 40 points.
In the past few hundred years, the only magician with the same spiritual power as Richard is the Speaker of the Magic Council. After all, this legendary figure created classical mechanics and made a greater contribution to magic than Richard, and was favored by the will of the world.
Compared with ordinary magicians, Richard was favored by the goddess of dawn and illuminated by the holy light of dawn, and his spiritual power increased by six points compared with ordinary magicians. Richard resisted the soul erosion of the legendary lich, and his spiritual power increased by another four points. When he traveled to this world, the power of the God of Slaughter merged into Richard's soul, and his spiritual power increased by five points compared with ordinary magic apprentices.
Due to various coincidences, Richard's spiritual power was naturally fifteen points more than that of ordinary magicians. Moreover, in the process of learning magic, Richard pioneered the discipline of elemental magic, creatively invented a variety of spells, and created a groundbreaking special equipment such as magic armor, which touched the origin of magic, obtained extraordinary spiritual feedback, and increased his spiritual power by eight points.
The average six-ring magician has a spiritual power of about twenty-one points. Richard's spiritual power is twenty-three points more than that of a normal six-ring magician. Even if he was a legendary first-level magician, his mental power was just over 50 points after he advanced.
Although Richard's mental power was far behind that of a legendary magician, and he had not awakened his legendary talent, he was far from being a match for a legendary magician. However, the magic he released was far more powerful than that of a magician of the same level, even if he invested the same amount of magic power. Simply comparing the lethality of low-level magic, Richard could be used by two nine-ring magicians.
Normally, an adult ogre is generally fourth-level, and his body is much stronger than that of a human being, so he would not be killed by a fireball. However, the powerful fireball released by Richard was extremely powerful, and he invested more than five points of mental power. With the addition of the two talents of powerful spellcasting and magic power doubling, he used 120 points of magic power, which was equivalent to an ordinary magician investing 240 points of magic power to release a spell.
For a normal magician, the ratio of mental power to magic power is about ten to one. Richard's talent is higher than that of ordinary people, and the ratio of mental power to magic power is twelve to one. As shown on the attribute panel, his magic attribute reached 1056 points, which is almost equivalent to the level of a legendary first-level magician. However, a legendary magician has one more legendary magic talent than Richard, which can exert a more powerful magic lever, master a higher-level spell model, and the magic released is more destructive.
The spell released by Richard is equivalent to a magician with 24 points of mental power. It consumes all the magic power at once, and the fireball spell released is more powerful than that of a standard nine-ring magician.
After the huge fireball was released, it instantly blew the bodies of the four ogres into pieces, and an explosion like thunder sounded.
The ogres saw that their sneak attack was discovered by the enemy, so they immediately changed their strategy and launched a strong attack.
Although they were attacked by a powerful fireball and were instantly killed or injured, the remaining twenty or so ogres bravely rushed up, wanting to kill the terrible enemy in hand-to-hand combat.
Even the ogres knew that magicians were not good at hand-to-hand combat, and they had a chance to win as long as they got close.
Seeing the ogres rushing up, Sophia immediately released a powerful grease spell, and the seven or eight ogres in the front row slipped to the ground.
Seeing that the ogres had fallen, Richard released a chain lightning spell. Seven or eight lightning bolts hit the ogres fiercely, and they were charred in an instant.
Chain lightning is a six-ring magic, and the standard model has much greater destructive power than fireball. Although it was not a powerful spell this time, it hit seven or eight ogres at once and dispersed the power, and the ogres hit were still either dead or disabled.
The remaining dozen ogres rushed over, wanting to kill the hateful magician in hand-to-hand combat. Sophia immediately released a powerful spider web spell, trapping the seven or eight ogres behind, and the eight or nine ogres in front were blocked by Berman and others on duty, and could not break through the defense line of several mid-level warriors for a while.
During the day, Richard did not use all his strength to fight the necromancer, and his magic power consumption was negligible. The reason why he kept a hand was to guard against the legendary ogre and leave some strength to prepare for the battle with the legendary ogre. For this reason, Richard also brought a starlight necklace, ready to release the starlight bomb at the last moment, and Sophia, Wendy and others also knew this.
The fireball exploded, and the violent explosion immediately startled the people in the camp.
Everyone slept in their clothes, without even taking off their armor, and their weapons were on their pillows.
A dozen soldiers rushed out of several tents near the camp gate, and worked together with Berman and others to steadily defend the front line.
Although the team led by Richard and Deng Lejin only had 100 people in total, the quality of the soldiers was extremely high. There were more than 15 mid-level warriors, and the low-level warriors were also wearing enchanted armor, so their combat effectiveness was very impressive.
Even if it was a powerful ogre, if it lost its numerical advantage, it would be unable to break through the defense line they formed.
In just one or two minutes, the team members had organized themselves and formed a circle, with the warriors in the front and the magicians hiding in the back, surrounding the ogres one by one.
On average, seven or eight professionals had a 100% chance of winning against one ogre.
After writing it, I found that it was a bit dependent on the setting, so I slightly modified Chapter 204.
