Chapter 52: The Necklace of Thorns

In the year 1457 of the Starfall calendar, the first heavy snow of the spring season ended.

The Lenwall Mountains, covered in snow and surrounded by silver peaks, are like a world of jade, and the same is true of Fort Wowo, located on the outer side of the mountains.

After his workout at the training ground, Modrian walked through the streets of Fort Dig in civilian clothes, and the eaves of the surrounding buildings were already hung with icicles, reflecting the cold sunlight in the sky, which was quite magnificent.

All the way back to the main castle, Modrian found that Crane was already waiting in the council hall, spreading out the notepad, summarizing and sorting some information in detail, and sometimes picking up a white quill to make notes.

"Lord Modrian." Hearing footsteps, Crane looked up to see Modrian speak respectfully.

"Is the budget for Valhalla's construction out?" Modrian nodded slightly, sat on the wooden chair and asked softly.

It had been a few days since the end of the war at the Aaron Hills, and Fort Dig had been in a state of recuperation, after all, it had been a war with heavy losses, and it would take some time for both the army and the soldiers to repair and recuperate.

During this time, Modrian came up with the idea of building Valhalla, which would place the ashes of fallen soldiers or a tomb of their clothes, as a supreme glory and a trace of existence in the world.

According to the temple of the continent of Karadimos, he and everyone in the Noxus Empire are visitors from another world, heretics, and should not exist in the world.

But they eventually made it to the continent of Calradimos, and declared their existence in a bloody and violent war.

Death is not the destination, existence is the foundation, maybe this is the heroic soul of Noxus that Kevin once said.

Crane closed the notepad and said helplessly on his face: "The budget has come out, but according to the current financial situation of Fort Digwo, it is no longer possible to provide a golden shield to complete the construction." ”

"Don't worry, the funding problem will be solved soon, build Valhalla first, and in a few days, someone should send a golden shield to Fort Digwo." Modrian said with a smile that there are a lot of loot harvested in the Aaronse Hills, and many nobles should be very interested.

From his bosom, Modrian took out a simple and rugged dark green necklace, the texture of which seemed to be some kind of wood, but it was extremely hard, the shape was similar to a thorn, and a slight tingling sensation could be felt when the right hand rubbed it.

【Thorn Necklace】

[Item Rarity: Low-level Magical Items]

[Material: Life Branches, Pure Gold, Secret Silver]

[Weight: 0.5 kg]

[Thorn Aura (Passive only): It can make friendly troops within 900 yards surrounded by a shield full of thorns, and when attacked by melee, it can return a certain amount of damage to the enemy. 】

[Note: The pride of an alchemist, the aura ability it bestows may give the Grand Knight a certain chance of breakthrough.] 】

......................

【Ding.......... Discovering the source of energy, does it allow the system to decompose? 】

......................

[No! 】

Shaking his head to reject the message sent by the system, Modrian carefully looked at the necklace that shimmered green, with a surprising passive attribute that could give a great knight the ability to have an aura.

This attribute alone can make a lot of people crazy.

The power of the aura is the power that belongs only to the knight chief.

There is a little information in Modrian's memory, the knight commander, as the last step in the knight system, has excavated the life energy in his body to the extreme, and is pursuing his own path of truth, showing his inner belief in the form of a halo.

It is also for this reason that the knight chief is a high-end combat power possessed by top nobles, and even one of the heritages.

When each knight leader leads the cavalry legion under his command to fight, the aura ability released can greatly improve the combat power of the cavalry under his command.

This is the case with the Iron Thorn Cavalry of the Jeffrey family, if it weren't for the existence of the Thorn Aura, the Noxus Imperial Cavalry would not have suffered such heavy losses in the Battle of the Aaron Hills.

As for Darius, Modrian had asked him what kind of aura power he had gained.

But unexpectedly, Darius told Modrian that he didn't gain the power of aura, and after breaking through to the Knight Chief, Darius seems to have unlocked his own ability in his body, which is very similar to the passive ability in the League of Legends game in his previous life - the power of Noxus.

When Darius deals damage to an enemy, it causes the enemy to fall into a [Bleed] state, which can be stacked. If the enemy dies as a result, Darius will gain the status of [Blood Fury], which greatly increases his damage ability.

This is the approximate ability that Darius has explored on his own after returning to Fort Digva, and it is not fully effective, and it seems that it is still to be developed.

Compared to the power of aura, Modrian values Darius's own special abilities.

The thorn necklace was clasped in the palm of his hand, although he also wanted to keep this low-level magic item, but the financial situation of Fort Digging was indeed overwhelmed, and he was waiting, waiting for the right person to buy this necklace, after all, the battle in the Aaron Hills was taken into the eyes of many sentinels.

"Lord Modrian, the Rivoldine Blacksmith is asking to see you outside Fort Vovo, saying they want to negotiate a deal." Gregory walked in from outside the council hall, his momentum more consolidated after the bloody battle in the Aaronse Hills, and he was about to take the most crucial step.

"Rivoldine Blacksmith! Looks like our first guest is here, let them in. Modrian said with a smile, motioning for Gregory to come over.

Goblins?

Looking at the two figures entering the council hall, Modrian raised his eyebrows slightly, one was the red-bearded dwarf Bayer Rivoldin, who he had seen in the city of Edalas, and the other was a goblin, with green skin, a short figure, and wearing a gorgeous robe, which looked a little nondescript.

"Lord Bayer, I didn't expect you to come to visit me, thank you for your weapons and equipment last time." Modrian stood up and said, with a false smile on his face, like a friend he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Necklace of Thorns?"

A shrill voice snapped into the conversation, and Modrian looked at the goblin behind Bayer, who was staring at the dark green necklace in Mordrian's hand with his eyes shining.

"Knight Modrian, this high-level magic item is available at the Vodin's blacksmith shop, you can give a price." The goblin stepped forward, his breath filled with the smell of nonchalant.

"High-level magic items?" The smile on Modrian's face disappeared, and he glanced faintly at the goblin in front of him and brushed the thorn necklace.

"Lord Bayer, why don't you introduce this goblin?"

"Veblen Wiebud Walker, High Alchemist, is the Honorary Elder of the Rivoldine Blacksmiths." Bayer touched his thick red beard and said with a slightly embarrassed face.

"Oh, it's Lord Veblen, Jiuyang, can he speak for the opinion of the Levaldine Blacksmith?" Modrian continued, his tone becoming more and more flat.

"Of course!" Bayer said in a deep voice, his eyes also on the thorn necklace in Modrian's hand, with a deep longing.

"Now you can make an offer, right? Moderian Knight! Veblen lifted his haughty chin and looked at Modrian with some contempt in his eyes.

"Very interesting!"

Modrian's eyes swept over Bayer, that rich life energy is at least the strength of a great knight, and Veblen should be a professional magician, it seems that the Rivoldine blacksmith is prepared this time.

But they forgot that this was Fort Digwo, not the Rifotin Blacksmith's shop.
