Chapter 448: The Crown of Karsus

"This is... the crown of Karthus."

Next to a large piece of minced meat of the mastermind, Nohir discovered the biggest treasure of the trip, which was the root of all this. The powerful treasure sought after by the world and ambitious people, the legendary artifact, the crown of Karsus. Floating so quietly on the master brain's corpse.

The moment he saw this artifact, Nohir suddenly felt a little dazed, because this crown was telling him clearly and straightforwardly that the future he knew had completely changed.

From now on, he will face a completely unknown world. He will lose his intelligence advantage to a great extent. The cultists he offended have also completely noticed him. What awaits him next will be One thrilling crisis after another, but...

‘…but that’s what makes it fun, isn’t it? ’

Nohill smiled suddenly. He never lacked the courage to face the unknown and danger, otherwise he would never have broken into hell when he was still a fledgling. His bones were filled with the blood of explorers. Then The so-called unknown is just another round of novel challenges, and the adventure in the world will never end like this.

Nohir, who no longer hesitated, stretched out his hands towards Karsus' crown, reaching towards the three floating iron pieces that emitted red light and were larger than Nohir himself. When Nohir himself Hill's hands were close to the three suspended iron pieces. These three iron pieces seemed to be attracted by Nohir himself and floated directly towards him.

During this process, the crown itself is also rapidly shrinking until it becomes a size that can be worn by ordinary humanoid beings.

"This is - an artifact. It's incredible. Even if it's just held up like this, you can still feel the huge energy emitted by this artifact. Although it still lacks the Neisser gem as an embellishment, even so, the main body of the crown is definitely not empty. It has no effect, I just don’t know what the specific effect of this thing is..."

As a key item in the entire plot of Baldur's Gate 3, Karthus' crown exudes a mysterious color from beginning to end. Even after the game is cleared, the character controlled by the player cannot know the identity of this artifact. What effect does it have.

But now, this artifact has finally been obtained by Nohir, and he also has the means to identify the ability of the artifact. Now his curiosity is almost overflowing! And he didn't mean to suppress his curiosity.

Nohir held up the crown with his left hand, and lightly touched the surface of the crown with his right hand. However, perhaps because of the special power of the artifact itself, the panel that could have obtained the results in an instant was actually exploring the surface of the crown. The specific ability took an extra five or six seconds.

This time difference undoubtedly aroused Nohill's curiosity even more. After the panel listed all the abilities of the crown, he immediately opened a detailed report about the crown.

[Artifact abilities: Divine power granting, magic power granting, Thousand Mage Meme, Self-control (ability error), Incomplete Karthus Magic Network]

[Divine power endowment: This crown contains a trace of divine power generated by Karsus after he briefly ascended to god. If the wearer is aware of the existence of this divine power, he can draw this divine power and attach it to himself or the crown. On its own ability.

Divine power has many uses, and no matter how it is used, it can greatly enhance the original ability of the attached ability. Its power and magical uses are infinite, but the divine power itself is too rare. Currently, only the divine power currently exists in the crown. Can be used three times by the wearer. ]

[Magic Endowment: Instantly imparts powerful magic power to the wearer. Even if the wearer is out of the magic network, he can still cast magic with the powerful magic power attached to the crown itself. The wearer of the crown will receive 3 additional nine-ring spell slots.

The user can also break down the total magic power of these three nine-ring spell slots into 6 eight-ring spell slots, 12 seven-ring spell slots, 24 six-ring spell slots, 48 ​​five-ring spell slots, and 96 four-ring spell slots. There are 192 third-level spell slots, 384 second-level spell slots, and 768 first-level spell slots. When these spells are exhausted, the user must rely on the gems inlaid on the crown to draw the magic power from the world to replenish it. ]

[Thousands of Spells Meme: The crown stores thousands of spell models, and the wearer can also continuously input new spell models. After wearing this crown, the spell caster can freely select the spell models inside to release.

No materials are required to cast these spells, the speed of casting these spells is greatly increased, and the power of casting these spells is greatly increased. ]

[Self-control: A qualified mage must understand his own body well so that he can maintain his own health in day-to-day magic experiments, and this crown can give you this ability.

The wearer of the crown will be able to perfectly control himself, be able to clearly understand his own changes, see the blood, muscles and even nerves in his body, and even guide his body to evolve in a positive direction. However, this enchantment was blocked by the big devil. Due to Mephisto's destruction, Mephisto placed a counter-spell on the crown, which allowed the wearer of the crown to be manipulated by the gem's controller, and the ability to control himself was completely disabled, but his ability to evolve himself was still was retained. ]

[Incomplete Karsus Magic Web: The crown stores a part of the alternative magic web created by Karsus during his brief ascension to godhood. Although this magic web has become incomplete due to the failure of his ascension to godhood, the magic web itself still possesses some of the abilities of a normal magic web.

This part of the magic web can carry a large amount of magic power and a part of divine power. If the wearer has a certain understanding of divine power, the magic web can also be decomposed into divine power. If the wearer has the desire to become a god, this part of the magic web can be used as fuel for the wearer's ascension to godhood, but other than that, the magic web itself has no other use. ]

"... outrageous things."

Noshil sighed from the bottom of his heart. For a mage, this thing is a meaningless artifact, but unfortunately, Noshil's profession is a barbarian.

Most of the abilities on this crown are meaningless to Noshil.

Even if he is a magic barbarian who relies on beast spirits to gain violent power, a barbarian is a barbarian, which is a world away from a normal spellcasting profession.

Once in a rage, he cannot cast spells. This professional characteristic of the barbarian directly abolished the most powerful enchantment ability of this crown, but the crown was not completely useless to him.

"Divine power... interesting."

Noshier had a hunch that the most valuable part of this crown was not its ordinary spell ability, but the most valuable part of this crown should be the Karsus magic network stored inside the crown.

It can be decomposed into divine power. Even gods might be tempted by this feature. If he wants to become a god in the future, this crown will definitely provide great help.

"The goal of becoming a god seems a bit too far away, at least not in the short term. It seems that this crown will not be used for the time being. Put it away and keep it well. Let's talk about it after collecting all the gems."
