Rune Staff of Strength.

A staff weighing no more than a few pounds, as smooth as black as inky jade, was topped with a glittering mystical gem inscribed with intricate arcane runes engraved inside.

The Rune Staff is another form of staff that allows the caster to consume spell slots equivalent to the Ring spell and cast spells engraved in the Rune Staff, which is equivalent to widening the spell slot limit for mages.

For example, the power rune staff in Zhao Xu's hand, which is worth about 60,000 gold coins, can use spells such as Ice Pick, Immortal Flame, Fireball Technique, Spell Void Enchantment, Monster Immobilization, Levitation Technique, Lightning Arrow, Magic Missile, Weakening Ray, Force Field Wall and other spells by consuming spell slots.

It's just that Zhao Xu has two major methods: versatile spellcaster and bizarre foresight, so it is not as significant as other spellcasters.

In addition, the use of the Rune Staff must be preceded by a "Tuning Ritual", and repeating this Ritual will only override the previous one.

Therefore, each person can only have one rune staff at a time.

The staff itself can be used as a +2 Refined Wooden Stick, and it also allows the user to gain Tier 2 Luck in Defense and Immunity, which is worth most of the Praise spells.

If it's just a +2 magic stick, there's nothing particularly out of the ordinary.

It can be treasured in the treasure room, alongside many artifacts such as Dragon Balls and Impermanence cards, mainly due to its other function.

The staff consumes a one-ring spell slot with a quick motion, so that for the rest of the round, the staff's melee attacks deal twice as much damage, and as triple as heavy critical hits.

This is extremely critical for melee output.

Next, Zhao Xu hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, and after carrying the brass box, he went all the way back to his tent.

After this turmoil, this fleeing team no longer dares to let people go out to die.

"President, do you recognize this stick?" Vivien said.

Zhao Xu nodded, and directly said everything he knew.

It's just that after Vivien listened, she smiled mysteriously, "President, do you know? ”

"Huh?"

"There are two versions of this power rune staff in the world."

"How?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It stands to reason that the treasure trove should be the best, and he didn't see any other version of those few power rune staffs.

Vivien bit her lip as if she sensed something strange about what was happening in front of her.

"The Rune of Strength Scepter is rare, but there are other mages who have managed to make it, but most of those versions are in the form of wooden sticks."

"There are only a few of them in the form of wooden sticks, and they are no different from the power of the wooden stick form, except that the shape of the weapon is inconsistent."

Wooden sticks and sticks are the weapons that a few mages have mastered, and they are both improvised weapons that have not yet reached the military weapon level.

Wooden sticks are often used in one hand, while wooden sticks are used in both hands.

Zhao Xu frowned slightly, "The producer is different?" ”

"Captain, you're really quick to react." Vivien immediately continued, "All in the form of sticks were created by my lord, for he liked sticks and didn't like them. ”

At this time, Zhao Xu looked at the wooden stick in his hand with some disbelief.

It seems that Ernest made more than a few "Rune Scepters of Strength" back then, but for some reason, one of them was actually left out.

During this period, he must have changed hands several times, until the package entered the brass treasure chest and entered the nest of the mutant scorpion.

Unexpectedly, it ended up in his hands again.

"Vivien, I'm afraid we'll have to go to the lair next." Zhao Xu Zhengse said.

In a mysterious lair, the treasure chest that he grabbed casually contained the runic scepter that Ernest had made, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Indeed, that lair is worth exploring."

It stands to reason that most of the magical items held by Arthur's monsters will match their identities.

Those who hold treasures that exceed their own level, the part that is filled with water in the middle will long be squeezed dry by more powerful adventurers.

A level 11 mutant scorpion may not attract attention, but with a nest with a lot of storage, an average level 15 adventure party will be tempted.

Especially the mutant scorpion actually had the ability to approximate "any door" that was not available in the racial ability, which made Zhao Xu curious.

It's also a shame that the mutant scorpion can't open the treasure chest and take out the wooden stick to swagger, otherwise it won't live to become a super giant insect one day.

"But the old man said that these adventurers who stole the treasure chest were in their own group, and they went out to hang out two hours ago, and outsiders didn't know their whereabouts at that time, and they ......"

The rest of Vivien didn't say any more.

After they killed the super giant mutant scorpion that devoured the adventurer, the other party's stomach was too strong to digest, and when everyone dissected the scorpion, only bones were left inside.

The spell of the dead talking naturally can't be used.

"No, Vivien." Zhao Xu lightly pointed to the brass treasure chest stacked in the corner.

This thing takes up too much space, and it is not easy to put it in his convenience bag with secondary space, but Zhao Xu still brought it back like a rag.

"With this treasure chest, we can use the item positioning technique, and the sensing is similar to that of a similar one."

Now Zhao Xu has a level 12 caster level, and the area of effect of his use of this spell is an area within a radius of 300 meters with himself as the center.

Those adventurers took two hours to go round trip, and even if they didn't have time to explore, they would walk for more than two or three kilometers for an hour at night.

In this way, his "object positioning technique" with a diameter of more than half a kilometer, as long as he used it three or four times, he could completely search for the target in the direction pointed by the old man.

And at this time, in the fleeing team, even if there were those who wanted to get their hands on the treasure of the nest, under the threat of the mutant scorpion, there were only a few people who dared to go.

Even because those adventurers had just brought back the calamity, they wanted to leave the treasure hunt, but they would be stopped by others.

Therefore, in the process of searching for the nest, they are unlikely to encounter interference from other people.

In this way, it is only those mutant scorpions that need to be considered.

Vivian looked at the smile on the corner of Zhao Xu's mouth and immediately understood what Zhao Xu meant.

"Master, if you can afford to support the nest of a super giant mutant scorpion, I'm afraid that the number of other mutant scorpions will not be in a small number."

She was a little worried about Zhao Xu's spell endurance.

Arthur's monsters don't line up to die.

Therefore, even if Zhao Xu washes the floor with fireballs, the effect is mediocre, and all kinds of mutant scorpions that continue to emerge from the nest are their headaches.

"Vivien, mages can also fight for a long time." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Energy Protection!

In an instant, Zhao Xu cast this three-ring spell that could only last for more than ten minutes, and it was immune to attribute damage, which was just right to match the next super magic control ability.

[Adventurer Midsummer, you cast the two-ring spell Blade Cloud (spell lasts), duration: 24 hours (originally 12 rounds)]

[Free release of a blade attack per round, range: 9 meters, attack power level 20 (caster level + intelligence adjustment), damage: 5-11 (1D6 + level/3)]

After being blessed with a sword qi coiled like a phantom mist on his body, Zhao Xu looked straight at the wooden stick in his hand.

In the past, after he was in tune with the Blazing Sky Gods, he directly held a giant scythe and slaughtered the Quartet, cutting the cavalry like cutting vegetables into a no-man's land.

At that time, he had the blessing of the Nine Rings Divine Technique.

Now, he's going to rely on the few spell slots he has left to stack up to become the number one melee powerhouse in the current player base.

Each level of a warrior needs to increase its own attack power, and generally a few levels of warriors have a base attack power of level 3.

And because of Zhao Xu's mage, now level 6 barely has the combat awareness of a level 3 attack, which is also the reason why he was a level 5 warrior in his previous life, so he doesn't need to waste time in melee training.

Otherwise, other mages, even if they don't like melee combat and want to improve the number of rings, will still receive basic physical combat training, and the requirements are much lower than those of warriors.

When you reach level 20, the Warriors, Barbarians, Paladins, and Ranger who focus on physical output are all full of 20 base attack levels.

The Poets, Priests, Wanderers, Druids, and Warrior Monks are around the 15th level.

As for the two rookies of mage and warlock, there is only a 10-level level, which is more than enough to bully an ordinary warrior, but compared to a warrior of the same level, there is a huge difference without spell blessing.

Zhao Xu glanced at the attack power on his character card, Rank 3 of Profession, Praise of Rank 3 Lucky, Rapid Acceleration Level 1, +2 Power Rune Staff +2 Order.

It adds up to a total of 9 levels.

It's just that when Zhao Xu first established the account, he didn't know that mages could also play physical output, so he chose civilian personnel to weaken the second-order attack, and at the same time, 8 points of strength not only could not bring an increase to the attack, but also brought a first-order impairment because of the small strength.

His current true attack output level is only level 6.

Fortunately, his professional ability and spell position are not vegetarian, and under the accumulation of various resources, Zhao Xu also has the ability to change his life against the sky.
