Life span.

is a particularly sensitive hidden property.

Before that, Roger didn't even know that there was still this attribute!

But now.

The naked data was laid out in front of him.

He was a little unsettled.

It doesn't matter what is the life of the preset.

One Jonny turtle equals an extra year of life!

It's heartwarming to think about.

"I'm done with your brother!"

Roger's eyes grew firm.

He trotted over and took Jonny's body into the only space in the storage bag.

Then he walked away briskly.

……

Night. Charcoal Inn.

Full of wine and food.

After declining the warm invitation of two ladies and a handsome and lovely gentleman.

Roger Schran returned to his single room.

The carcass of the Jonny turtle was too large to be disposed of, so it could only be put on hold for the time being.

He took out the "Developing Potion" from the cauldron, and together with the "Forbidden Identification Scroll", he began to identify the gargoyle statue.

In the absence of Qi Vision, identification is actually a very troublesome task.

In Mystra.

All items have a hidden property called "Detection".

The corresponding is people's "cognitive number".

When your "cognition" exceeds the "detection value" of the item, the item does not need to be identified.

A person's "cognitive number" depends on the composition of multiple aspects of knowledge:

Ethnic knowledge, regional knowledge, vocational knowledge...... Wait a minute.

The "inspection value" usually depends on the rarity of the item.

The more common the item, the lower the inspection value; For less popular items, the inspection value may be very high.

Here's an example.

The inspection value of everyday clothing is infinitely close to 0.

This means that individuals can understand its meaning and value, and use it proficiently.

However, the inspection value of props such as whips, candles, and handcuffs may be higher.

There will be a significant number of people who will not fully understand the full meaning of this.

As for items such as books, weapons, artifacts, etc.

The inspection value is even higher.

Ordinary people have to improve their cognitive numbers through means such as education in order to recognize and use them correctly.

……

In the process of identification.

The role of the identification scroll is equivalent to providing an additional "number of cognitions".

The effect of the Developer Potion is to reduce the "Detection Value" of the corresponding item.

The combination of the two swords can get twice the result with half the effort.

As soon as Roger tore off the third "Forbidden Identification Scroll", the gargoyle statue in his hand trembled involuntarily!

The glow of knowledge symbolized flashed.

The true face of the forbidden object is about to come out.

……

"Gargoyle Statue (Broken Forbidden Item 1/3)"

"Rating: S"

"Seal: An elite LV29 gargoyle is sealed inside."

"Unsealing method: Quin's Blood Curse (mastered)"

"Remaining Part Tracking: Not Activated"

……

The so-called "Kun's Blood Curse" is the set of blood confessions.

It's a well-known thing in Mystra.

Roger didn't hesitate, cut his fingertips directly, and squeezed a drop of blood on it.

A faint mist rose from the statue.

Meanwhile.

A series of prompts also appeared on Roger's record bar.

After the seal is unsealed, the system provides four ways to deal with it.

The first is "surrender."

That is, to show obedience to the elite gargoyle in the statue.

In this case.

Roger needed to give the gargoyle a daily ration of human and animal blood as a tribute.

At the same time, he has to take on the task of an elite gargoyle - to find the two remaining parts so that it can be completely freed from the statue's seal.

The advantage of surrendering is that you may get the help of a gargoyle when fighting.

and a "+50% Movement Speed" buff.

Naturally, there is no need to talk about the shortcomings.

……

The second way to deal with it is "slavery".

After choosing to enslave, the gargoyle will temporarily unblock and jump out of the statue to fight Roger.

If it loses, it willingly becomes Roger's minion.

The advantage of enslavement is that this level 29 elite gargoyle can be ordered to work for him at any time.

The downside is that if you can't beat it, you may die.

……

The third is "destruction".

That is, forcibly destroying the statue with external force.

But this is not a low requirement of external force, after all, the material of the statue is good, and it may be difficult for ordinary blades to destroy it.

After a successful destruction, Roger has a chance to get a portion of the loot that the gargoyle devoured during his lifetime.

……

The last option is "Sacrifice".

Whether forbidden or curious, they are the favorite of gods and other great beings.

Roger could choose to sacrifice it to a god in exchange for a divine favor or something else.

System prompts.

There seems to be a lot of divine grace that gargoyle statues can be exchanged for.

……

Read the instructions.

Roger didn't say a word, and chose "enslavement".

The gargoyle statue in his hand trembled.

A black mist suddenly rose and permeated Roger's side.

He took a step back and grabbed the Frog Sword.

In the black mist, two scarlet lights faintly lit up.

A monstrous gargoylee flapped its misshapen wings and flew out of the fog!

On the data bar, the flow of information falls like a waterfall.

……

"Gargoyle LV29 Magical Beast/Elite"

"Life 220 Defense 24"

"Trait 1: Supersonic Flight"

"Supersonic Flight: Elite gargoyles have unrivalled flight speeds, often outpacing the speed of sound propagation in short- to medium-range bursts."

"Trait 2: Specialized Intuition"

"Specialized Intuition: Elite gargoyles have legendary intuition that can easily discern the strength or weakness of an enemy."

……

It's too late to take a closer look.

Roger clenched the sword in his hand and prepared to meet the enemy.

Who knew that the gargoyle flew halfway through and suddenly landed on the floor with a pop!

The misshapen wings tucked meekly to the sides.

The gargoyle rubbed Roger's trouser leg flatteringly with his pointed head.

That demeanor is very similar to that of a dog.

Roger was slightly stunned.

……

"You succeeded in enslaving the elite gargoyles"

"Any instructions it gives to you must be obeyed unconditionally."

……

"Is this 'specialized intuition'?"

Roger shook his head with a wry smile.

Put away the Frog Sword.

He grabbed two handfuls of gargoyles' heads.

Aside from the two goat horns, the gargoyle's head was bare and a little slippery......

In short, it feels good.

Roger tried to send some simple instructions to the gargoyle.

Gargoyles' comprehension is pretty good.

Soon.

Don't talk about the basic actions of "opening the door" and "pouring water".

Even complex commands such as "beating the back" and "massage" are executed in a similar manner.

"It's fast, it's defensive, it's a bit like Jonny Turtle."

Roger thought so, and suddenly had an idea.

He gave an order to the elite gargoyles -

Hunt Jonny Turtle!

Complex thoughts are transmitted to the gargoyle through a contract of servitude.

The gargoyle was stunned for a moment.

Roger took out the body of Jonny Turtle and showed it it, and made several more kill gestures.

The gargoyle then flew up and out of the open window.

Minutes and seconds passed.

It was late at night.

Roger was so sleepy that he yawned.

A belated kill hint only appears in the stat bar.

……

"Your minions killed 1 Jonny Turtle"

"You gained 5 XP"

"Your lifespan has increased by 31,536,000 seconds."

……

"Perfect."

Roger smiled and gave the gargoyle an order to continue working.

Blow out the candle.

I went to sleep by myself.

……

Early the next morning.

Roger left the Charcoal Inn in good spirits.

The gargoyle followed him listlessly.

He's going to the town to gather some information about the Jonny Turtle.

By the way, look for a long-term place to stay.

After all, you can't stay in a hotel all the time, right?

Even if the wallet can stand it.

The ears can't stand it either.

I remembered the strange noise I heard in the middle of the night last night.

Roger couldn't help but shake his head.

……
