Chapter 340: Olihakang (Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
Facing Roland's puzzled eyes, Natasha smiled mysteriously, took out a helmet from the dimensional pouch and held it up for everyone to see. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The helmet is forged from metal, with a simple and domineering shape, and a ruby the size of a thumb is inlaid in the center of the forehead. Rather than this gorgeous and dazzling gemstone, Roland cares more about the metal that forges the helmet. It looks like brass in color and texture, but when sunlight shines through the window and hits the helmet, the light is weirdly deflected, which is obviously not the characteristic of brass.
"This legendary helmet, named after the material it forged, is called 'Olihakang'."
After listening to Natasha's introduction, everyone couldn't help but be amazed and shocked by the word "legend".
There are many kinds of magic items in the world of Vares, the number of magic items of different levels varies greatly, secondary magic items are not rare, they are sold in slightly larger towns, and medium magic items are relatively scarce, only in big cities like Kitland, it is possible to buy them, as for high-level magic items, they are basically not for sale, and legendary items are even more rare and invaluable, each of which is a priceless treasure.
Roland was also fascinated by this legendary helmet, especially when he heard the word "Olihacon", and couldn't help but be moved.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that "Olihakon" was just a fictitious metal that existed in myths and legends. It is said that this metal looks a lot like ordinary brass, has the wonderful property of deflecting magic rays, and is very rare in production, worth a thousand times the same weight of gold, and more expensive than pure gold and mythril.
Roland visually measured the weight of the helmet, not counting the value of gems and enchantments, just the cost of forging this helmet Olihakon would cost more than 200,000 gold coins, and when people measure whether a magic item is eligible to be classified as legendary, one of the conventional criteria is to see if it can be worth more than 200,000 gold coins.
"Four years ago, Beowulf and I returned to our hometown to spread the Kord faith after returning from our trip to the New World, which coincided with the jousting tournament held in Kitland, and we decided to participate in that event in order to open up the situation as soon as possible." Natasha held the legendary helmet and slowly told her where it came from.
"At that time, Oleg's father Sergei also participated in the tournament, and he has always been Beowulf's old enemy, the two have fought each other in the tournament before, the result is that Beowulf wins, if Sergei wants to sit on the throne of the new lord of Kitland, he must defeat Beowulf to prove that he is the strongest man in Kitland, and in the end they meet in the final, this duel will not only affect the reputation of the two of them, but also determine the succession of the lord of Kitland, and whether the Kode faith can take root in this land."
Speaking of this, Natasha smiled slightly, revealing her pride in her husband: "The duel that day was very exciting, Beowulf defeated his old rival Sergei again to win the championship, and thus became the new lord of the Kitlanders, you all know this, but you may not know the details of the game. ā
"Details about the Helmet of Olihakon?" Lyudmila asked.
Natasha nodded, and continued: "The origin of this legendary helmet is no longer traceable, it has existed since the followers of Mokesh set foot on the Northlands, and the Kitlanders have always regarded this helmet as a symbol of Mokesh's authority in the world, and only the leaders of the followers of Mokesh have always been qualified to wear it, you might as well compare it to the seal of the king and the scepter of the pope." ā
"The last person qualified to wear the Helmet of Olihakon was Sergei?" Roland asked.
"Yes, at that time, Sergei was the leader of all the Mokesh believers in Kitland City, and he was also the bishop of the Old Gods Priest, although he was no longer able to obtain divine magic at that time, his strength was still the best in the city, until Beowulf returned and shattered his myth of invincibility."
"Lady Natasha, since the Helmet of Olihakon is a sacred relic for the followers of Mokesh, how could it fall into the hands of the lord?" Veronica asked curiously.
"It's actually quite simple, because of a gamble." Natasha smiled lightly, and then said: "You should know that Beowulf's famous weapon, the Sword of Naphiri, is also a legendary piece of equipment, and Sergei has coveted this famous sword for a long time, and just before the final of the tournament began, he proposed to him to use this sword as a bet, if he defeats Beowulf, he will win this sword, and conversely, if he loses to Beowulf, he will also lose this 'Helmet of Olihakon'. ā
Roland nodded thoughtfully, finally figuring out Natasha's intentions.
The Helmet of Olihakon has a distinct symbolic meaning in the hearts of the Kitlanders, it is not only a legendary equipment, but also a sacred relic for all Mokesh believers, when Sergei lost to Beowulf in the jousting tournament, this helmet became the opponent's trophy, so the face was greatly damaged, and all the Mokesh believers in the city were also hit hard, and even doubted the faith.
It was with that victory that Beowulf gained his current status, and the Kord faith he advocated took the opportunity to take root and flourish in this strange land, replacing the Old Gods as the mainstream faith of Kitlanders in just four years.
When it comes to matters of faith, most people are utilitarian. If you want to change people's old beliefs, the most direct way is to prove that the gods you worship are more powerful than the gods they worship, and can give them more blessings and more protection. It is impossible for a god to clash directly in front of mortals, so how to measure which god is more powerful? The answer is naturally to be found in believers on both sides.
As the propagator of Kod's faith, Beowulf openly defeated Sergei, the leader of the Mokesh followers, at the tournament, which is a manifestation of Kode's strength over Mokesh, and also a clear proof that Kode's faith is superior to Mokesh's faith. Originally, those ordinary people who believed in Mokesh were eager to get more comfort, more glory, and more sense of belonging from their faith, and witnessing Beowulf defeating Sergei naturally had the idea of converting to Kord.
The same principle applies to this tournament.
This afternoon, Oleg's "Mokesh's Fury" defeated Natasha's "Hammer Star" in front of more than 40,000 spectators in the Colosseum, and people not only wondered: What does it mean for Kod's followers to lose to Mokesh's followers? Does it mean that feng shui is turning, the Kode faith is about to go downhill, and the Mokesh faith will rise again to glory?
Once such a mentality spreads, people's faith will be shaken, and the tide will turn in favor of Sergey and Oleg.
In fact, just after the afternoon game, the temple of Mokesh, which had been full of people, suddenly became full of incense, and many people who never showed up ran to burn incense and worship, openly and secretly showing that they had not betrayed the Kitlander goddess of fate, and were still her devout disciples. This has not happened for many years, and it is clearly a very dangerous signal for Beowulf and Natasha, forcing them to fight back as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
