Broad World

Touching the magic pearl, Henry felt the manic dragon soul inside. This powerful monster is now full of hatred, as long as the bearer has any negative emotions, it will be magnified countless times immediately. If the will is not firm, the dragon soul will take advantage of the vacancy to influence and control the master of "Heavenly Holy Wrath".

He carefully inserted the long knife into the sheath and said with emotion: "It is indeed a weapon made in Karatu. Faerun does not have such perfect craftsmanship."

Hina glanced at "Heaven's Wrath" and asked in surprise, "Karatu! Is it the distant eastern continent? Oh my god, I heard that the population of a single country there is more than the population of the entire Faerun continent."

"Yes. The Xianglong Empire there is the most powerful country in the world, and its land area is equivalent to the sum of the entire Faerun. They have a huge fleet composed entirely of magic ships, which can destroy almost any country. Moreover, the countries of Karatu believe in their own gods, so we know very little about it..."

As soon as Karatu was mentioned, Henry immediately started talking. For him, it can be said to be the only place that is somewhat similar to his hometown. He has been paying attention to collecting this information over the years, and he can be regarded as one of the people who know the East best in Faerun. The Xianglong Empire is very similar to the Tang and Song Dynasties in ancient China, while the other small neighboring countries are similar to Japan, Korea and so on.

Henry even planned to go to Xianglong Empire alone after Apodel's fate was completely decided. After all, it is only there that you can see a large number of black-haired, black-eyed, and yellow-skinned humans. This kind of intimacy from the soul is difficult to control. Maybe after seeing it, you can reduce some thoughts and emotions.

Just when the two were chatting. Shandier ran over with a gemstone that kept changing colors. "Look! I found a strange thief's stone. It has a very interesting spell attached to its surface. It seems to be used to open some kind of secret door or mechanism."

Henry hurriedly picked up the gem and observed it carefully. The discovery of surface light often forms words of the Common Language. After a few minutes, he memorized the words one by one. Together, it reads: "The bridge area of ​​Askatla, don't play any tricks with me."

"What does this mean? Could it be that these guys buried some treasure there?" Sandyr frowned and asked.

With a smile on Henry's face, he put the gem directly into his pocket. He knew very well that this was the key to entering the Magic Talisman Society, and it seemed that the "Staff of the Archmage" would be available soon.

"There is indeed a big treasure, but it is very likely to kill people. Don't think too much now, we can't deal with the enemies inside." Seeing the greedy eyes of the sorceress, Henry hurriedly warned.

Sandyle shrugged noncommittally. "Okay. But can you tell me what the enemies inside are? I can make some preparations in advance."

Seeing that the sorceress was still a little unwilling to give up, Henry couldn't help but sighed. "Hey! You will be killed by this greedy character sooner or later. Have you ever heard of the Talismans? That's their headquarters in Amn."

"I heard that right?!! The Talisman Society!! That is a secret group composed of undead spellcasters. Aren't they secretly manipulating the political situation in Calishan?" Sandyr hurriedly asked with a cold war.

There's a reason she's so nervous. The Talisman Society is also known as the entangled symbol. The purpose of these undead spellcasters to create organizations is not for any benefits and resources, but just to pass the boring time. To put it bluntly, it is to use the country of Calisan as a stage to let all the people living here perform human tragedies and comedies.

It has to be said that these undead are very evil, just for their own fun, the whole country has been in a struggle for power and turmoil. Their behavior is very secretive, and even many servants do not know how to contact their masters. Although the number of people in the organization is small, they are almost all powerful undead creatures such as liches and vampires.

Glancing at the sorceress who was sweating from fright, Henry nodded with a smile. "How. Now I know how to be afraid. Remember, there are too many powerful and mysterious creatures in this world. Sometimes even the gods will accidentally overturn the gutter. Let alone us mortals. But don't worry too much, the Talisman does not have as strong an influence here as Calishan."

The three men searched the entire building, sweeping up all valuables. Due to the abundant cash harvest, Hina received the first share of her adventure career, which was more than 500 gold coins. On the way back, she and Sandy walked around the shops on both sides of the road with great interest, and bought a lot of messy things in a short while.

Seeing the women acting like this, Henry shook his head helplessly. He didn't want to wander around the market with the two women, so after saying hello, he walked back alone. When passing through the bridge area, a black-haired man about two meters tall suddenly appeared from the corner of the alley. Judging from his appearance and attire, he was obviously from Karatu in the East.

The strange man bowed slightly, and then said, "I'm sorry to bother you. My name is Kuluoshan, a sword master from the far east."

After hearing the other party's name, Henry showed an imperceptible smile on his face, and then quietly hid his hands in his sleeves. He has been on guard for a long time, just waiting for this guy in front of him to appear. Last night, I specially prepared several chain spells, ready to kill them instantly with one blow.

"You seem to have a long knife called "Heaven's Holy Fury" in your hand. This is the pride of our country, so I hope you hand it over." Ku Luoshan obviously didn't notice the other party's small movements, and made a request on his own.

Henry took a playful look at the self-righteous Juggernaut, and asked with a smile, "Oh? What if I say no? Are you planning to grab it?"

Ku Luoshan's face immediately darkened, and he drew out the weapon at his waist threateningly. "I think it's best not to make such an unpleasant scene. Wouldn't it be nice to hand it over obediently?"

"It's really arrogant. You think you can beat me? Now let you see the gap between us."

As soon as the words fell, Henry first cast the "Catastrophe" and "Debilitating Light" in the "Spell Matrix", and then activated the "Spell Initiation", "Protection from Magic Weapons", "Weakened Resistance", and "Retarded Mentality". This is not over yet, he finally released the "Chain Accident Technique" directly, and three more "mentally handicapped techniques" were released on the enemy.

The poor sword master Ku Luoshan didn't even have a chance to react, and he became a fool in the blink of an eye. His eyes were glazed, and saliva trickled down the corners of his mouth. Henry looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he pulled out Darken's Seth knife from his waist, and pierced his opponent's throat with one stroke.

In order to avoid getting entangled with the guards, he simply searched the body after killing Ku Luoshan, and then quickly left the scene. As soon as I got back to the Garden Hotel, I couldn't wait to go back to the room to identify the three magic items.

Inertial Barrier Belt:

When worn, the belt creates an air current around the wearer. This air current provides excellent protection against fire and spell attacks. Judging by the burnt marks on the leather, the belt has apparently been involved in at least one battle against dragons.

Equipment capacity:

Any ranged weapon has a 1/4 chance of being bounced

All magic damage reduced to half

Long Knife: "Acid Knife"

Forged by a warrior of Karatu for his paranoid lord, this emerald long knife means "acid". Legends speak of the blade being quenched with the blood of a black dragon and hilted with the skeleton of a werewolf leader; the blade endowed that warrior lord with amazing regenerative abilities and would strike back at his foes with acid in battle.

Equipment capacity:

Immune to any acid damage

The bearer can gain the same regeneration ability as the giant werewolf

Combat ability:

Acid poison: each hit reduces the target's strong acid resistance within 18 seconds

Acid Feedback: Revenge those who attack you with deadly acid

Finally there is a pair of boots of evasion for dodging ranged weapons. Henry directly wrapped the "Inertia Barrier Belt" around his body, and at the same time inserted the "Acid Knife" into another scabbard. Before he got the Archmage's staff, he planned to keep equipped with double knives like this. After all, "acid knife" can greatly increase the survivability of the holder, unless he is hit by an instant death spell, he can survive no matter what.

As for the last pair of boots and the replaced puncture protection belt, Henry planned to wait for Sheena to come back and give her as a gift. Although the scales on the half-dragon are enough to defend against ordinary arrows and flame arrows, they are useless against other magic arrows. Especially after transforming, the oversized body can easily become the target of the enemy's long-range attack. These two pieces of magic equipment are designed for long-range attacks. As long as they are equipped, many arrows that are not fast enough will not be able to penetrate the protective force field at all.

After taking a shower, Henry lay on the bed alone and played with the Thief's Stone in his hand. He is considering whether to get the Talisman Club before Aberdell comes out, the Archmage's Wand is too tempting. You must know that this is a sub-artifact, not a product with only a few attributes like in the game.

According to the records in the books, this powerful staff can absorb magic power and transform it into its own energy. In other words, if the enemy casts a spell on you, it can be absorbed by the magician's staff. And it can also convert the energy inside into spells and release it, but it needs to consume the energy stored inside.

Just imagine, two mages of the same level are fighting a duel, and one of them holds a magician's staff, absorbing the opponent's attack and releasing it back at the same time. It can be said that as long as there are no major mistakes in tactics, they will be invincible. Of course, there are many disadvantages. For example, if the holder does not pay attention, it will explode on the spot when the energy absorption is full.

In Henry's view, this is not a problem, he has a system that can extract any energy. As long as you get this powerful weapon, apart from legendary spells, magic from level one to level nine won't be much of a threat. (to be continued..)
