In the bedroom, Phyllis and Darko sat face to face on the floor, staring at Darko's baptisted body. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Darko's cloak was hanging on a coat hanger beside him, and his previously bare skeleton was shining yellow from time to time, and it seemed that some kind of magic was attached to it.
"Extreme mana, can enchant this effect on bones, it seems that Owen still has some ability. Phyllis looked at it carefully for a long time and didn't see any clues, so she simply hugged a pot of strawberries and sat opposite Dakko, eating strawberries while doing research.
As the name suggests, enchantment is to add magic effects to equipment to increase all aspects of the equipment's attributes, and depending on the enchantment, the magic enhancement effect obtained by the equipment is also different. And now the enchantment on Darko's skeleton is an enchantment that increases mana, which is called extreme mana.
Since the beginning of a new era in the magical civilization, enchanting various equipment has become an indispensable part. No matter how famous a master forge, no matter how rare the materials used, if you don't enchant it, you can't call it a masterpiece.
Among the commonly used equipment, weapons, bracers, gloves, boots, capes, rings, and cuirass, etc., have different enchantment systems due to different materials. However, this is not to say that every enchantment can only be used on specific equipment, in fact, everything can be enchanted. However, due to the limitations of the enchantment formula, enchantment has certain requirements for the object model, and if you want to enchant a model with a large shape deviation, you must need very high skill and experience. For example, this extreme mana, which was originally used on the breastplate, was enchanted on Dako's chest skeleton during the baptism.
"Hmm. Presumably, Owen used to be poor, and he also worked part-time as an enchanter. Phyllis thus unscrupulously assumes Owen's past to justify this baptism, "But this cuirass can be used on bones, and it seems that the technique is not bad." Well, maybe he gnawed bones cleaner than the average person. I guess it's a poor poor thin man who can't afford to eat meat......"
"In short, you can't waste such a piece of kindness in Owen. It's just a cheap stall. Phyllis grummaged as she rummaged through the closet, and the voice coming from the closet echoed muffledly, "Darko, you're going to start practicing in the future!" Maybe in the future, your master and I accidentally killed the Pope of Light and his old man, and saved enough divine grace to help you shape your body!"
Darko listened to Phyllis and roughly understood the cost of reshaping his body.
Bang. A heavy black book smashed in front of Darko, the thickness of a full palm. Dakko opened the cover and found that the book was extremely heavy and made of an unknown material. There is no title on the cover, only the title page reads "Internal information, pay attention to confidentiality." ”
"It's all, don't look at it!" Phyllis flipped the pages to the back of the book at breakneck speed, "This is it, follow the breathing method above, absorb the free natural elements in the surrounding space." Phyllis turned to a certain page and began to read the above method to Dakko one by one, and Dakko hurriedly tried to enter with the method of resting, Dakko was an undead creature that did not need to breathe, and there was no difficulty in using the method of breathing, and he quickly entered the state.
When entering the state, Darko finds himself surrounded by various natural elements floating around. Upon closer perception, these elements have their own smallest units, roaming and dancing freely like fireflies.
The crimson fire element, the azure water element, the light gray air element, and the dim yellow earth element. Various elements float around in the space in an irregular manner, and the collision of each other will cause two different elements to join each other. A set of pairs of two elements is formed, new composite elements are synthesized, and they continue to float around. Fire and water compound into restless thunder, fire and wind form a shining light element, water and earth compound into a verdant green element, earth and wind compound into a turbid dark element, wind and water compound into a crystalline ice element, and fire and earth compound into a dull flame element.
At this time, a group of composite elements approached another single element, and the moment they touched each other, they suddenly became unstable, causing a disturbance, in which the composite elements were dismantled, and the three single elements flew in different directions.
Darko felt that the surrounding elements were constantly combining and dispersing, maintaining a state of dynamic equilibrium. The amount of each element fluctuates within a certain range, but the overall proportion is basically the same. Among them, the dark element accounts for the largest proportion, while the light element has the least proportion.
Some elements wander around Darko and merge into his body and become part of the mana in his body. But there are other elements that seem to be repelled by Darko's body, and are bounced off as soon as they get close. Unlike other elemental wanderings aimlessly, the Ice Elemental is spiritual, and is more easily attracted to the Daktronics to capture.
"This is probably the reason why the undead system is too yin. Darko conjecture.
Darko's spiritual power gradually spread, reaching out towards the vast elemental space, and in his perception, the walls and furniture around him were gone, leaving only the purest elemental sea, which was a sign of entering a deep state. In an instant, all the elements around him became active, constantly gathering from all around, merging into his body in large numbers. Among them, he has the strongest affinity for the dark element, a large number of dark elements are coming, but they are bounced away by his body, and can only hover around, very few enter the body, and the dark elements in the hovering keep colliding with other single elements, separating the air element and the earth element, whenever the air element enters his body at a very fast speed, and the earth element is still bounced away, continuing to wander around.
Darko felt it carefully, and realized that the amount of magic entering his body was in certain proportions. From the point of view of the number of single elements, the air element is the most, followed by the water element, these two elements together account for ninety percent of the total, and the remaining one percent are the two elements of fire and earth. These four single elements are ingested into one's body according to the proportion, and this ratio is related to one's physique and cannot be changed. It turned out that in his own magic power, the proportion of the fire element was so low, no wonder the fireball he rubbed out before was extremely powerful......
Because Darko has no physical body, a simple skeleton stores very little magic, and it quickly reaches saturation. At this moment, the enchanted light on the skeleton flickered and began to work, and a steady stream of mana continued to flow into Darko's body. After a long pause, Dakko calculated that the mana stored in his body was only enough to rub two fireballs, and now, the mana stored in this enchantment alone can release twenty-five fireballs!
When Darko finished, he found Phyllis lying on the bed, her arms and feet wrapped around a large pillow like octopuses, and she was sleeping soundly. Darko didn't wake his master, he looked at the magic clock and found that it had been the whole night, and it was already the next morning. Dakko realized that it was a wonderful thing, and it seemed to be very short in that state, but in fact it had been a long time.
Darko looked down and saw that the thick black book Phyllis had taken out was still on the ground, and the center title of the page was "Darkness". Darko thought to himself, the dark church uses dark magic, presumably this darkness is the strongest affinity for the dark element, no wonder the dark element is the most active at the time, but unfortunately due to his own physique, he can't make full use of the dark element, otherwise the speed of replenishing magic power should be much faster.
Darko thought as he flipped through the pages of the book at random, and found that the book was probably about the teachings of the Dark Church. From Joseph Owen's deeds as a mortal, to his path to godhood, to the development of the Dark Church over the millennia, every major battle, etc. These are all in the first half of the book, which is what Phyllis calls "". So Dakko also felt that these things were not pretty, so he skipped them directly.
The second half of the book introduces a variety of cultivation methods and techniques, including the cultivation of fighting qi, the use of martial arts on the battlefield, and battle formations. Darko flipped through the pages related to magic, and then he saw a syllable that channeled magic. He recalled that this syllable had appeared in many of the first-level magic spells that his master had asked him to recite, and it was marked that he could recite this syllable to guide the release of mana in his body to observe the proportions of the elements in his body.
Darko looked at it again and made sure that the process would not destroy the master's room like last time, before carefully chanting "guia".
Blue and gray bloom in the palm of Darko's hand, the water element and the air element, the two constantly changing forms, sometimes converging into dots of crystalline, sometimes separated. If you look closely, there are also wisps of red and yellow mixed in it, which belong to the two elements of fire and earth in very small proportions, and these two elements are also interacting with other elements, but because there are too few, it is difficult to be noticed.
"Well, yes, Darko, try to control the wind and water together. Phyllis woke up at some point, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, looking condescendingly at Darko's palm.
Darko was startled by Phyllis's voice and almost couldn't control the magic in his hands. Fortunately, he immediately smoothed out the magic power again, and carefully controlled the qi element and the water element according to the master's guidance, mixing the two elements, and gradually the crystal ice element became more and more, until finally, the water element had disappeared completely, and all of them merged into that little bit of crystal. At this time, Darko seemed to be holding a pile of crushed ice that was constantly wandering, and only a few wisps of gray, white, red and yellow mixed elements remained next to the crushed ice. This is excess air and a small amount of fire and earth.
"Uh-huh, the talent is good, and it deserves to be my Ice Saint Magister. Phyllis amused herself.
Darko was sweating profusely when he heard this, and he couldn't even pronounce a first-level Ice Moon Technique, talking about the Ice Saint Magister, but looking at the happy appearance of his master, he really couldn't bear to affect her mood.
"Darko!" Phyllis seemed to sense Darko's thoughts, jumped out of bed and picked up the book on the floor and closed it, her expression becoming serious, "Are you hiding something from me?"
"Lord?" Darko's heart sank, although Darko didn't have a heart, but at this time he also seemed to experience the feeling of his heart falling on his hip bone.
"Don't think I don't know anything. Phyllis turned up the corners of her mouth, squinting her eyes up and down at Darko like a lazy kitten, "What did you see when we came back from the temple?
"Master......" Darko was frightened and hurriedly explained to Phyllis. He didn't know what Phyllis was interested in, so he poured out all his experiences and feelings from the resurrection of Scott to the expedition to the hell of the dead to the baptism of the church.
"Your soul resonates with Selby's spear?" Phyllis opened her eyes in amazement, her mouth opening in an O-shape. Then she closed her eyes and thought about it for a moment.
"Hmm. In this way, your soul should be incomplete now, and the other half of your soul is in Selby's broken spear. "Phyllis is a necromancer, and she knows more about the nature of souls than ordinary people. After Darko's description, we can roughly know the cause and effect of the matter.
"Your soul is supposed to belong to some corpse in Scott City, but when did Selby get to Scott City?"
"Forget it, anyway, Selby's broken spear has half of your soul in it, it should be right!" Phyllis jumped up from the bed, her eyes shining with an evil light, "Magic metal strengthened, fight for the machine spirit, well! That's it! Anyway, Selby's broken gun is nothing to look at, it looks like a-digging stick, just help you snatch your soul and make it up!"
"Darko, let's go, go to the Temple of Sacrifice and give you a boost!"
Before Darko could figure out what Phyllis meant, he was pulled again and ran towards the Dark Lord Temple.
There are several temples in the main temple of darkness, among which the most central and largest temple is the sacrificial hall. As the name suggests, the sacrificial hall is a place of prayer and sacrifice to the gods. Believers make sacrifices to the gods, and if the gods are satisfied with the sacrifices, they give the gods, and the gods can redeem them for rewards and titles. As for what the content of the reward is and what is the use of the ban, there is no unified standard.
The most mainstream theory is that there are five grades of titles, and the rank represents the status of believers in the eyes of God. However, the content of the rewards is varied, some say that everyone sees different reward items on the charisma list, but if you get the highest level of the title, you can see all the reward items, and there is also a theory that the list of reward items of the gods is just a trading platform, and the items that can be exchanged on it are made of sacrifices offered by other believers, and the role of the gods in it is only a trading intermediary.
Phyllis pulled Darko through a side door into the temple, and then walked around the complex corridors for a long time. From time to time along the way, they could encounter the guards and clergy of the Dark Temple, and they saw Phyllis nodding or giving way sideways, obviously Phyllis was not inferior in status in the Dark Church.
The structure of the temple is complicated, and you have to climb the stairs at one time, and you have to go downstairs at the other, so that Darko doesn't know how many floors he is on. Upon entering a large, dark door again, Darko felt as if he was in the basement. All around is a black cloud that can't reach out and can't see five fingers, and in the clouds, the sound of killing can be faintly heard. Darko, who had just learned about darkness, felt that the dark element around him was unusually rich, and if there was a dark physique magician here, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.
Walking through a long corridor in the clouds, Darko found himself completely above the black clouds. Above the clouds there was a majestic altar, and shadows could be faintly seen flowing in it.
"Darko, don't be afraid! Phyllis was beckoning to Darko from the altar, pointing in one direction of the altar, "There are steps over there, and the steps in the temple are all nine, be careful." ”
Darko walked around to the side of the altar and went up the stairs, where he found other people on the altar besides Phyllis, some of them carrying heavy boxes of witches and some of them choosing between the list formed by the shadows. Darko noticed that a man placed a short sword with light attributes on the altar, and wisps of black gas began to emerge from the altar to wrap around the short sword, and after a few moments, the short sword disappeared like that.
Darko opened his mouth in surprise and stared blankly at the strange sight. Phyllis closed her eyes, then opened them again a moment later, and the dark shadows around her strangely overlapped in front of her to form a list. Phyllis took a quick look at it and then selected one of them.
Darko suddenly felt that the altar beneath his feet became a living thing, as if one eye was watching him. The dark shadows around him were layered over him, making him feel the urge to run away.
"Don't be afraid, it'll be fine right away. Phyllis reached out and grabbed the gap between Darko's ulna and radius, and although there was darkness around him, he felt his master smiling at him.
Darko calmed down, and turned to carefully observe the black shadow under his feet, the black shadow kept releasing wisps of mist, the fog did not fly, but little by little merged into Darko's bones, Darko's bones gradually turned from pale to gray, and then to a metallic blue. He could feel that as the color changed, the texture of the bones became harder and denser.
As the last wisps of mist melted into Darko's bones, the dark shadows beneath his feet spread out and became an embellishment around the altar. Phyllis lifted Darko's arm and burrowed her head into his chest again, spun around to take a closer look.
"That's good! Just as I envisioned!" Phyllis pulled Darko up and jumped off the altar, happily telling her story, "Sure enough, your bones can also be enhanced like a weapon! And the previous enchantment is not affected! So you can go and fight for the broken sword for the weapon spirit! Come on, Darko! I am optimistic about you! It's a pity that the divine grace is not enough, and I was going to change two pieces of equipment for you." Why didn't you bring back the corpse of that Bright Samurai in Scott City!It's all your fault, Darko! I thought you were going to die, how good it would be to pick up more sacrifices and run away......
Darko listened quietly to his master's whimsical words, and finally figured out Phyllis's purpose. She wants Darko to use this skeleton as a life box to compete with Selby's sword for the weapon spirit!
The first lichs were spellcasters who used necromantic magic to achieve immortality. They store their souls in ritual vessels, and as long as they are not destroyed, they can constantly recreate new bodies to resurrect themselves. This artifact that stores souls is called a life box.
If there is no life box, the soul will stay in the decaying body for a long time, and the spiritual power will slowly dissipate, and the wisdom will gradually degenerate, turning into a walking corpse no different from an ordinary zombie skeleton.
And Darko's skeleton is now strengthened by magical metal, and it has become a magic weapon, which just has the function of a life box, which can be used to preserve his soul for a long time. Expensive magical metal enhancement to a skeleton is arguably unprecedented. The principle of magic metal enhancement is to enhance the performance of the weapon by directly infiltrating rare metals into the structure of the weapon through the power of the law mastered by the gods, replacing the impurities in it, and repairing the unstable parts of the structure. Usually only weapons above the Superior level are used for this kind of enhancement.
From the beginning, Phyllis had been thinking about finding a magic weapon for Darko to preserve his soul, and in order to reshape his body in the future, she had the idea of directly metallizing Darko's bones. It's just that the necromancer's undead have never been treated as consumables, and there is no precedent for strengthening skeletons, and she's been worrying about whether this will work. But when Phyllis saw that Darko was enchanted, it was almost certain that Darko could be treated as a weapon. Coupled with knowing that Selby's sword hid the other half of Darko's soul, it finally prompted Phyllis to make this decision.
Phyllis looked at Darko, who was covered in a metallic sheen, and thought of her own divine grace that had bottomed out. I thought indignantly, "It's really a hassle to find someone to talk to!"
……
At the same time, Selby is using his own fighting spirit to suppress the power of the soul in his spear, he knows that his spear has the same effect as the magic weapon as a life box, and the difference is only in the relationship between the soul and the magic weapon, so he has never relaxed the suppression of the machine spirit. It's just that the soul in this shot seems to be very strong, and it hasn't been weakened much after a few days.
Selby originally wanted to ask Phyllis to help, after all, necromancers know more about the characteristics of souls, and if Phyllis intervenes, it will definitely greatly increase the possibility of soul and weapon fusion. It's a pity that Phyllis seems to be busy with something important and has never had a chance to invite her over. While Selby persistently suppressed his soul with his fighting spirit, he thought depressedly, "It's really troublesome to refine a machine spirit!"
The two of them are expressing the same sentiment for different reasons.
