Chapter 662: Shadow Realm (IV.)
"Ronnie, of course you have the right to keep your secrets, and I have no intention of intruding into your privacy, but if you want to stay in this small adventure team, I must understand your true strength before I can give you a mission that can make the most of your strengths in the next adventure.

Her Royal Highness the Black Princess of Parnia noticed that Roland's face was serious, as if a mouse had seen a cat, and bowed her head to say that she must explain it truthfully. As he spoke, he activated the "Magic Bracelet", and the heavy swords in the armor and hands on his body all disappeared in the sudden burst of magical aura, and there were two small pendants on the bracelet, which were vaguely miniatures of the armor and heavy sword.
"I don't have anything else to hide except this 'magic bracelet' that collects armor and weapons, oh yes, there's also a swordsmanship that I don't usually use." Veronica held the "magic bracelet" in front of Roland with both hands and obediently handed over the basics to him.
"What swordsmanship?" Roland took the bracelet and played with it, and asked her casually.
"The Secret Three Absolute Swords of the Palnia Royal Family, the Sun, the Moonlight and the Meteor, I only inherited the ...... of the 'Moonlight Secret Sword'" Veronica hesitated for a moment, revealing Parnia's royal secrets to Roland with the "Psychic Connection", "The Three Peerless Swords of Parnia are a bit like your divine power specialty, but instead of being activated with the positive energy of dispelling the undead, it uses a kind of life energy called 'True Qi'. ”
“KI?” Roland repeats the pronunciation of the word "true qi" in the local dialect of the Far East.
Veronica nodded, "Usually only transcendent professions such as warrior monks, ninjas, and sword saints that focus on combining martial arts and spiritual cultivation can open up a pool of qi in their own bodies - we Parnias call it 'the sea of qi', condensing the seeds of true qi, meditating and nourishing over the years, so that the true qi continues to grow and become stronger day by day, and the legendary figures who have reached the peak of martial arts cultivation only need a short breath to refill the depleted true qi, and the cycle is endless...... It's a pity that there is no such martial arts master in the world today, and our Vlad royal family has only retained a few pages of the ancient martial arts classics, from which three swordsmanship techniques have been sorted out, and the power of the true qi is endless, take the moonlight sword I have mastered, a breath of true qi can make all the next melee attacks cause maximum damage, although it can only last for a few seconds, it is enough to kill a strong enemy in one go. ”
Roland's heart fluctuated as he listened.
As a time-traveler from a country in the east of the earth, he has been influenced by martial arts, cultivation, fantasy and other novels since he was a child, and his true qi and martial arts are all too familiar to him. Traveling to the fantasy world of Vares, where "sword and magic" are nominally equally important, in fact, the status is far from the same.
The number of casters is small but influential, and the elites of all walks of life are probably capable of casting spells, while the knightly class represented by the "sword" is in an awkward position, with new technologies and weapons increasingly replacing their function on the battlefield. If the caster class, as the backbone of civilization and progress, has an increasing social influence, the knight class has come to an end due to the decline of the Cold Weapon Age, and the sword in its hand has gradually become dull.
The root of all this is that the two powers represented by "sword and magic" are not equal: high-level spellcasters can easily call the wind and rain and fly hundreds of miles in an instant, but very few people can practice the powerful martial arts of hurting people in a hundred steps and swinging the sword to break the flow.
It is precisely because of the above mentality that after listening to Veronica's narration at this moment, Roland couldn't help but have a strong interest in the "Moonlight Sword" that skillfully uses true qi to increase lethality.
The so-called "maximum damage" is, in in-game parlance, "the damage dice are forced to take the maximum value". In the world of "Dungeons & Dragons", the damage of most weapons is not certain, but there is a range that fluctuates up and down, for example, the damage dice of the long sword is 1D8, that is to say, the damage fluctuates randomly between 1~8, and the floating range is shocking, and the final ability to hit a few points of damage largely depends on luck.
That's right, Varess is a world that places extreme emphasis on luck, and when heaven and earth work together, heroes are not free.
Is there a trick to get rid of the luck component and make the attack hit the maximum damage dice constantly?
Yes!
The most well-known is the supermagic specialty "Spell Extreme". Extreme spells can always deal the highest damage, but that's the prerogative of the "mage", and you, a "foot man" who wields a knife and wields a sword, also want to maximize the damage of your weapon?
I'm sorry, where to stay where it's cool!
As far as Roland knows, the ability to achieve the extreme effectiveness of weapons can be said to be rarer than that of giant pandas, and it is said that the Sword Master has a stunt called "True Qi Slash" that can do it, but he has traveled to the world of Varess for almost two years, and he has never seen a Sword Master in the Far East, God knows if this transcendent inheritance has been extinct.
That's why he was so shocked when he learned that Parnia's Moonlight Sword could make weapons extremely effective, and he became more and more curious about the semi-vampire city-state located on the eastern coast of the Far Eastern Province.
"Ronnie, if a person is not from a half-vampire royal family, and he does not have a profession of True Qi, is it possible to learn the Moonlight Secret Sword?"
"Well...... To be honest, I don't know, but if you're really interested, you might as well come and visit us in Parnia when you have time in the future, and I'll introduce you to meet your father, and then you can ask him for advice yourself. Veronica replied with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation.
Roland nodded, "I can't get away now, but I will definitely visit His Royal Highness in the future." ”
"Well, if you join the Vlad family as a condition, my father will be willing to teach you the Three Absolute Swords as a dowry for his daughter, anyway, they are all a family!" Parnia's "Black Princess" is starting to think about it again.
Roland gave her a blank look, and opened the "Pupil of Destiny" to identify the Mithril bracelet in his hand.
The "Magic Bracelet" is an ingenious artifact that can be hung on a weapon or armor that can be shrunk and hung on, and can be automatically redressed with a single password.
Veronica hung two pieces of equipment on the bracelet, one of which was the "Black King's Armor", the symbol of the crown prince of Parnia.
This artifact is equivalent to a "+8 Full Body Armor", with a terrifying defense of up to 16, and even more amazing in that it is made of ancient black dragon skin, which weighs only as much as the lightest leather coat, has no agility cap, no armor impairment, and does not hinder the casting of arcane.
The "Black King Armor" has a constant 8-ring protection arcane "psychic barrier", which can shield all magic and supernatural forces that are harmful to the mind and emotions, and is also immune to prophecy and detection spells, so it can be said that this "psychic barrier" alone has abolished most of the spells of the two schools of "confusion control" and "prophecy".
In addition, the "Black King Armor" can also stimulate the "Divine Power" and "Righteous Qi Like a Rainbow", two signature magic techniques used by the priests to improve their melee ability, which can be maintained for up to 20 rounds per day, which can be discontinuous.
After looking at the attributes of the "Black King Armor", Roland checked the golden heavy sword again.
System Prompt: Discover the Legendary Yang Yan Sword! Discover the enchanted crystal "Ghost Strike"!
"Legendary Yang Flame Sword?" Roland wondered secretly.
He knew the "Yang Yan Sword", but it was only a high-level magic weapon, far from reaching the legendary realm, could it be that Veronica's Yang Yan Sword was different?
