Chapter 43: Graybeard's Treasure!

Glax City.

The city is not very famous in the Dark Regions, and perhaps its lords are more familiar to the people of the Dark Regions than this rather majestic gray dwarf city.

- Graybeard!

This is an outstanding figure that is rare to see in a century.

There will always be some outstanding heroes in each race, such as Eugene of the orc, Cui Special of the Drow Elves, and the Griffon King among the humans. Graybeard is one such character, he was born in the grass, his father and mother are said to have been slaves controlled by the Mind Flayer Elders, and he spent his childhood as experiments under the control of the Mind Flayer. This torture changed his mind, causing him great pain while also allowing him to advance to a powerful psionic sorcerer.

Maybe it's a little sad.

The fate of the grey dwarves has been a difficult one, they have been enslaved for a long time, and although they eventually rebelled and defeated the Mind Flayer, this tragic history still brought many wounds to their race. The minds of many gray dwarves have been so distorted that there are often evil lunatics within this race.

Graybeard is one such product.

But his talent was amazing, and this painful experience eventually made him what he did!

Graybeard endured for a long time under the control of the Mind Flayer, until he was strong enough to free the enslaved Grey Dwarves and lead them into battle head-on with a powerful Mind Flayer's lair.

Graybeard fights to fame!

Not only did he destroy this evil Mind Flayer base, but he also managed to kill those Mind Flayer Elders.

Of course.

The cost is also very serious.

Graybeard's mind has been devastated, and his mind occasionally descends into a terrible state of madness, leaving two permanent scars on the back of his head, wounds from the Mind Flayer's tentacles. The Mind Flayer Elder tried to suck Greybeard's brain, but before it could succeed, Greybeard suddenly went berserk and split open his skull with his battle axe.

Since then, there has been an additional Grey Dwarf Psionic Warlock in the Dark Realm.

Graybeard is not only a Legendary-level psionic sorcerer (class level 21 and above). He is also a part-time level 5 berserker and a level 5 wizard at the same time.

I don't know what kind of abilities the Mind Flayer's torment brings him, but there is no doubt that he will be a very dangerous enemy!

Glax City.

This majestic city of gray dwarves was carved directly out of the ground, and the population here is not very large, about 10,000 or 20,000, but there are a large number of slaves of other races.

This is a tradition in the Dark Regions.

Any city in the Shadows likes to capture slaves, for whom slaves are free labor and consumables.

The city of the Grey Dwarves is a bit of a mess.

This is similar to other dwarves, because dwarves like to drink, they like to be boisterous, they like to fight, as long as they don't cause trouble. No one cares if you drink in a tavern and get beaten and your nose and face are swollen. Most of the dwarves were rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and fighting was nothing, and Sauron had just passed by a tavern when he saw a drunken gray dwarf being thrown out. The Dark Regions are quite rich in products, and the gray dwarves live relatively well on the arms trade, and Sauron knows that Glex City is actually very rich.

The reason is simple.

There's a vein of Mithril here!

Thinking of this, Sauron couldn't help but look up at the city lord's fortress in the distance, where there was a furnace erected, and a dazzling fire could be seen in the distance.

The fire here hasn't been extinguished for more than a decade!

About a decade ago, the city's Grey Dwarves discovered a vein of Mithril in significant quantities while mining minerals. That's a pretty amazing amount of money. If it leaks out, it may even attract a frenzied attack from the Drow Elves. Therefore, the ruler of Glex City, [Graybeard], blocked the news for a while, and restrained all the gray dwarf craftsmen who knew the truth from leaving. Since then, the furnace of Glex City has never been extinguished, and Greybeard is forging a powerful piece of equipment from these Mithril ores.

An artifact-level Mithril chain mail!

Mythril production has always been very low, and it is quite difficult to refine. Even Greybeard, who controls a vein of Mithril ore, has only recently completed the crafting of this equipment. [Note: The Mithril chain mail worn by Frodo in the Lord of the Rings is almost equivalent to the reserves of a dwarven kingdom for hundreds of years. 】

Graybeard's ambitions are still great.

As a spellcaster, part-time berserker, he always wanted to bring out his best powers!

But.

This is very difficult to achieve in a normal environment. Because he can't pierce armor if he casts a spell. And if you pierce the armor, you will have a very high chance of casting failure.

Plate armor has an 80-90% chance of casting failure, half-armor has a 60-70% chance of casting failure, and chain mail has a 40-50% chance of casting failure. Even leather armor has a 20-30% chance of casting failure.

Once the cast fails!

It is directly to bear the spell backlash, which can be understood as transferring the spell damage to one's own body.

So.

Very few spellcasters can cast spells with armor, and it is because of this that Sauron never wears leather armor.

This is a congenital defect.

Graybeard faces the same problem as Sauron, no matter what, he can't bring out his best strength, he can't wear armor if he wants to cast spells, and he must rely on strong equipment protection if he wants to fight in close combat. To this end, Greybeard expends a lot of energy to solve the problem, defeating the Mind Flayer's Lair, gaining knowledge of an ancient empire from it, and finally finding a little direction.

Mind Flayer Empire!

An ancient, ruined interstellar empire!

The Mind Flayer has also created a glorious psionic civilization, and their innate psionic energy (called "Ghost Energy" during the Mind Flayer Empire) has established an interstellar empire that spans many planes of the Astral Sea.

This empire may have been more civilized than the Giss Yankees, and the Thursilver Age probably hadn't even begun at this time.

The evil nature of the Mind Flayer has brought destruction to them.

The ancient empire did not leave many clues, and disappeared into the sea of the astral plane, and it is said that the destruction of this empire is related to a kind of astral beast in the astral realm that can never be killed.

Even!

The materials required to seize the divine power of the goddess of magic in the Thur Silver Age are also related to this astral beast.

The Mind Flayer went into decay.

Now the Mind Flayer of many planes has almost degenerated into a primitive race. They only rely on their innate psionic abilities to fight, and their research on knowledge has long been bottlenecked. That's how Graybeard got a little bit of knowledge from the Mind Flayer's lair, some very old psionic knowledge. He plans to enchant the Mithril Chain Mail with psionic energy, completely eliminating its interference in the casting process.

According to the original history, he actually succeeded in the end!

Moreover.

The time period is now.

The entire Glex City is very well defended, Graybeard has been preparing for this for more than ten years, and now that the artifact is almost complete, I am afraid he will be even more careful.

Sauron's disguised gray dwarf had not yet approached before the guards were alerted.

However, he pretended to pass by, and walked directly past the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion, which was quite heavily guarded, and Sauron found at least a dozen patrols with god-level perception.

And that's not even counting the enemies lurking in the shadows!

Where the Furnace Fire was lit, Sauron could sense a hint of psionic energy fluctuation. There seems to be a spell trap inside.

"It's a little hard to do."

Sauron also had a slight headache at this time, but he quickly thought of a way.

He's going to move up a level!

As his strength grew stronger, Sauron needed more killing experience to increase his professional level, and at his current level, he could no longer increase his combat power much by relying on his professional level alone.

All abilities are almost comprehensive, and the combat power of the god template is even more important.

That's a watershed moment.

Only when Sauron's class level was raised to level 30, or even above level 40, would he clearly feel that the power of the class level had gradually caught up with the power given by the gods.

Sauron currently has nearly 2.3 million killing experience saved!

This killing experience was only enough for him to raise the Arcanist class level by one level, but it allowed him to raise the Rogue class level by two levels.

Rogue boosts require a lot less experience to kill!

A row of data comes to mind:

"The Rogue class has been upgraded to level 9."

"Gain 45 (agility 36 + (intelligence 27-10) * 0.5) skill points, and increase health by 15 (class health 6 + (constitution 27-10) * 0.5)."

"You've gained a specialty point!"

………………

"Thief class level increased to level 10."

"Gain 45 (Agility 36 + (Intelligence 27-10) * 0.5) Skill Points. HP increased by 15 (6 class health + (CON 27-10)*0.5). ”

"You've gained a free attribute point!"

………………

No doubt.

Sauron added his free stat points to his agility, and his agility had reached 37 at this point.

As for this specialty, Sauron had little to think about, and directly chose the passive ability [Legendary Reflex].

"Legendary Reflexes [Epic Feat]: You have unimaginable reflex abilities. This ability allows you to gain an additional 4 reflex bonus against any attack, whether magical or physical. This ability stacks with any Reflection feat, automatically replacing the effect of Lightning Reflection. Any evasion ability will gain an extra bonus! ”

"It's finally done!"

After gaining this legendary feat, Sauron couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Legendary Evasion, Legendary Reflexes, Legendary Skills, Epic Agility, Reflex Evasion Mastery, Intuitive Evasion, Roll Dodge, Movement Agility......

With the exception of the most difficult [Sixth Sense], Sauron has almost exhausted all of his passive dodge specializations.

"It's just [Sixth Sense]!"

Sauron looked at his properties page. I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh, if the wanderer's dodge expertise is all taken up, to use a data-based analogy, it will be to superimpose the evasion value to more than 95%!

Of course.

Reaching this high level requires either the [Sixth Sense] specialty or the [Super Sixth Sense] specialty.

Sauron can't do it yet.

If all of his evasion perks were to be digitized, his current evasion rating would be around 75-85%, with his strong agility providing an additional evasion bonus. If he completes the [Sixth Sense] specialty ability, then his evasion value will almost certainly reach more than 95%!

Basically, dodging to this extent, physical attacks are basically not a problem, and even spell attacks can be dodged by him.

"Sixth Sense!"

"How can a wanderer acquire the specialty of the sixth sense? There's no way to train this thing! ”

Sauron looked at his own specialty, then turned his attention to something else.

For now.

Sauron's dodge ability should be the top of the material plane, and there shouldn't be much higher than his dodge in the multiverse.

It's too difficult to stack to the limit, so you don't need to put too much effort into it for the time being.

Because combat effectiveness is not only reflected in dodging!

"Stealth is currently 415 points."

Sauron quickly focused on his stealth, which was meant to steal rather than fight, so he didn't hesitate to put all his skill points into stealth.

At his current level, it is already very difficult to improve his basic skills on his own.

Currently, it can only be improved with skill points.

As if at a tipping point, when Sauron's stealth skill reached 500, the space around him seemed to distort slightly, and then returned to normal.

The power of the shadows!

When the stealth broke through the threshold of 500 points, Sauron seemed to disappear.

No.

He didn't disappear, not even in stealth.

Sauron was still standing in place, and the others could see him with the naked eye. However, unlike before, Sauron could be seen, but not felt.

All the breath is gone.

There was almost no way to feel his presence in any way, and the 500-point stealth had reached a level so unbelievable that even the gods could hardly detect Sauron's presence.

"Finally a basic skill has been increased to 500 points."

Sauron sighed softly and disappeared in place, without a trace or noticeable change, as if he didn't exist.

500 base skills is a watershed.

Any basic skill that reaches this level is equivalent to stepping into the [Divine Realm]!

Looking at the entire multiverse, only certain veteran gods can be promoted to this level, and the limit that mortals, even if they are legends, can reach more than 400 points.

Sauron was completely gone.

No one can perceive his presence, and even the Lord of Shadows is now difficult to spot Sauron in his stealth state.

He passed through the guards' protection as if no one was there.

Sauron quickly approached the location of the Furnace Fire, all the guards were an ornament to him, and the only thing to be wary of now was the spell trap.
