Chapter 238: Lion Rush! (The third watch is over, ask for recommendation votes)
"Oh? Is the lion totem really so powerful? Roland looked curiously at the statue of a lion totem warrior modeled after Beowulf himself, and opened the "Pupil of Destiny" to observe the special abilities granted by the "lion totem". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The first ability is "Fly", which increases running speed by a quarter and looks ordinary.
The second ability is "Alert", and the listening and detection skills are +2 enhanced, which is not very good.
The third ability is "+2 damage when charging", which is very good, and it is very suitable for the melee class of the charge stream.
The fourth ability is "Sense of Smell". Similar to the nose of a hunting dog, it can smell subtle scents that ordinary people cannot perceive, which is very good.
Just looking at the first four abilities of the lion totem, they are just decent, obviously not as powerful as the bear totem and the dragon totem, Roland can't figure out how it dares to be called the "strongest totem"?
However, when the last ability of the lion totem comes into view, everything changes.
Roland suddenly held his breath, his pupils contracted violently, and time seemed to stand still at this moment—he could clearly hear his pounding heartbeat, and the blood all over his body suddenly rushed to the top of his head!
The last ability of the lion totem is the ...... "Lion Charge"!
Lion's Charge, referred to as "Lion Charge", is commonly known as "swoop" and "meow pounce".
Whatever you want to call it, this is the last ability of the lion totem, which makes Roland so excited that he can't help himself.
"Viglaf, my dear friend, please tell me, what price do I have to pay to obtain the Lion Totem?"
"As long as you renounce the Sindra faith and take refuge in our lord Kord, I believe that Lord Beowulf will be happy to tattoo a lion totem on you."
It was the first time Viglaf had seen Roland lose control of his emotions, which made him feel amused and affectionate, which proved that Roland was also a normal man and had a fanatical side.
"No kidding! I can't betray the faith, so can't you offer a more reliable way? Roland glared at him in annoyance.
"Well, there is still a ......" Vigraf forced a smile and whetted his appetite before he continued: "If you can win the championship of the tournament and win the lord's appreciation, even if you are not a believer in Kord, you can ask him to give you the lion totem, as for whether the lord agrees or not, it depends on his mood." ”
"Excellent! I've got the championship trophy! Roland punched his palm, his eyes lit up with fighting spirit.
In Vigraf's eyes, Roland was always so unhurried, like a calm sea, that no one could get a glimpse of his depths.
However, he can also understand why Roland is unusually passionate at this moment, because he is a knight, a knight who takes charging as his fighting creed, how can he resist the temptation of "lion charge"?
Normally, the charge is a full-wheel action, which means that you spend a lot of energy on a long run, and you can only make one attack with all your spare strength.
The so-called "Lion Charge", to put it bluntly, can hit multiple attacks after the charge, and each attack receives additional hit and damage bonuses from the charge.
According to the set data in the game, the number of attacks per round is determined by the basic attack bonus (BAB), and in the real world, the so-called "basic attack bonus" is the comprehensive embodiment of combat skills, which occupies an important position in the evaluation of professional levels - only when the comprehensive combat skills reach a certain level can they be promoted to the corresponding level.
Roland is now a level 8 Destiny Samurai, and his basic attack skills are also +8, and he can only perform 1 attack when he charges, but if he obtains the Lion Totem, he can make 2 consecutive attacks after the charge!
In the future, the level will increase, the basic attack bonus will be increased simultaneously, and you can launch 3 or even 4 attacks in one charge, which is simply the rhythm of killing the enemy group!
The facilities inside the Great Church of Kord are not very interesting. Roland had wanted to buy some Upanishads, but unfortunately it came too late, and it was already snapped up by the adventurers who came first. There were quite a few other magic items, but he didn't have the equipment he desperately needed, so he only bought a few bottles of common potions and two dozen blank scrolls.
Leaving the Great Sanctuary of Kord, Roland, accompanied by Vigraf, went for another tour of the temple dedicated to the Old Gods.
Today, most of the places of worship of the old gods have been abandoned, and only one temple is still open to the public, dedicated to Mokesh, the "goddess of fate" of the old gods of the Northlands.
Mokoшь is a goddess with a bull-headed body and a spindle in hand. Compared to other goddess figures, Mokesh's bull's head reflects a view of life about the head—that is, the head is the soul to which it depends. Mokesh's spindle is entwined with the "thread of fate", and her will is unknown, so the people of Kitlander often say that "fate is unpredictable".
In the traditional beliefs of the Kitlanders, Mokesh is a very contradictory goddess who is the patron goddess of family happiness and prosperity, but also has a violent moody personality and is very cruel to those who try to rebel against the mercy of fate.
Today, Mokesh is the last old god in the Northland who can bestow divine graces, and has a lot of influence in Kitland, and Sergei and his son are her devout disciples, and they have also received Mokesh's divine graces.
Mokesh's charisma includes a series of special abilities: immunity to disease and fear, charisma modifiers count towards immunity, and finally, one "Delusional Slash" per day, which is similar to the Paladin's Evil Slash, but the target of the attack has nothing to do with good or evil, and only targets heretics who refuse to worship Mokesh.
However, even Mokesh was unable to bestow divine magic on his followers, indicating that the last remaining god of the old god was weakened to the point of collapse.
The first time Roland saw the statue of Mokesh, he knew that this evil god who was dead but not stiff was in conflict with Sindra's priesthood.
The two goddesses also have the priesthood of fate and the realm of fate, and aside from the position of good and evil, their biggest difference is that their attitudes towards fate are diametrically opposed.
Sindra's kingdom is located in the "mechanical realm of clocks", and she represents the idea that a person's fate is difficult to predict accurately in the short term; However, in the long run, there are laws to follow in both the trajectory of individual destiny and the fate of social groups as a whole.
Sindra believes that people can create favorable conditions to change their living environment through their own efforts, and then control their own destiny to a limited extent.
Sindra also believed that great men could and should use their influence to change the fate of others, thereby leading to social progress and moving the course of history forward.
Overall, Sindra leans towards the camp of order and is the embodiment of agnosticism.
Mokesh, on the contrary, was born into the "Limbo Chaos Sea", a utter deity of chaos, the embodiment of agnosticism.
Mokesh rejects all attempts and means to foresee the future, and her own personality is as unpredictable and unpredictable as the tides of the Chaos Sea.
Roland had a hunch that perhaps this was a revelation that Sindra had conveyed to him: if he could destroy Mokesh's last temple on the main physical plane, he would create an opportunity for Sindra to seize her godhead and unify the destiny of the Far East.
If this scenario came to fruition, Sindra would be able to elevate herself to at least a first-order godhead, and thus her status in the Varess lineage.
This is also very good for Roland himself.
By elevating Sindra's godhead, he can share more divine magic and divine grace from the goddess, after all, he is Sindra's chosen one, and she is the spokesperson for her interests in the main material plane. (To be continued.) )
