Chapter 167: The Staff of the Hurricane
The three pieces of equipment, Wren fumbled for a moment.
He moved so many books in the Silver Star Library, and when he was still in Longshande, he usually flipped through books to learn rune knowledge by himself when he had free time, and asked Viola for advice, and mastered the preliminary identification ability.
First of all, the staff, the main material is the heart of the Mingfeng wood, the whole is pale cyan, the head of the staff is a whirlwind-shaped bifurcation, the surface is engraved with silver runes, the weight is very light, and you can immediately feel the existence of the surrounding wind elements when you hold it in your hand.
The staff has a small line of text on the staff, which reads: Staff of the Hurricane.
Wren identified the utility of the Staff of the Hurricane, which comes with the Five Rings of "Hurricane Magic", a large-area lethal spell that can be cast three times a day.
A caster holding the Staff of the Hurricane gains Wind Affinity, which increases power when casting Wind spells.
Finally, this staff has a cast acceleration effect, regardless of the type, all spells below the six rings can get a 10% speedup!
The combination of three enchantments makes this Staff of the Hurricane the ultimate staff.
"What a good staff!"
"No wonder Mytir casts spells so fast. ”
Wren exclaimed, it is worthy of being a legendary wizard's weapon, even among the best enchanted equipment, the Staff of the Hurricane is the top, if it can be improved again, there is even a certain probability of becoming an epic weapon.
Of course, this probability is very low.
Even so, the Staff of the Hurricane is a caster's dream staff, especially the Wind Elemental, which is tailor-made.
Putting down the Staff of the Hurricane, Wren picked up a ring set with purple diamonds.
He recognized it as a soul diamond.
The Soul Diamond is a very special gemstone, which can be used to store soul power and make a soul ring after being transformed by an alchemist.
This ring is undoubtedly a soul ring.
Wren tried it and found that the reserves of this soul ring were extremely large, and he couldn't fill it with his current soul power, and after some estimation, it should be able to store one-third of the soul power of a level 10 legendary wizard.
This is a very staggering reserve, and when worn on it, it is equivalent to a large increase in soul power in the air, which greatly extends the caster's combat endurance.
Wren decided to keep it for himself and immediately put it on his hand.
The last ring was what he was looking forward to the most.
The silver ring looks a little ordinary, like a metal ring made of Mithril, its weight is almost invisible, and on the inside of the ring, a circle of purple runes connected from end to end is engraved, with a faint shimmer.
Wren carefully identified it for a while, and probably saw the doorway of the rune.
Obviously, this is a ring with dimensional space attached.
Dimensional space is a six-ring arcane, and by holding it on a carrier, you can create a separate dimensional space for storing items.
Constant spells are extremely skillful, and the higher the number of rings, the more difficult it becomes.
Six-ring arcane, this is something that only alchemists can achieve, and the requirements for materials are extremely high, and the value of any space ring is far above the best equipment, comparable to epic equipment.
Wren put the dimensional ring on and concentrated, and an irregular strange space immediately appeared in his mind.
The space is five feet square, which is about three cubic meters.
There are quite a few things stored inside.
Wren counted books, potions, scrolls, alchemical materials, and a few magic seals, as well as some food and daily necessities.
These are Maitire's belongings.
A small pile of gold shields, numbering more than two thousand, was also found, and there was also a stack of golden tickets, all of which were worth one hundred gold, and there were hundreds in total.
"I'm going and getting rich!"
Wren was pleasantly surprised, the legendary wizard's net worth was really different, with more than 10,000 gold in cash alone.
The most valuable thing is the ring itself.
This kind of space ring has always been priceless, and there is no place to buy it if you have money, even if it is a ring with the smallest space, it can be sold for a sky-high price of forty or fifty thousand gold shields.
However, Wren had no intention of selling it at all.
He had long admired Viola's necklace, which was very convenient to use.
Now I finally have one.
Wren wore the ring, tried to put all kinds of things into the ring in the study, took it out again, cleaned out some of Mytir's things, cleaned up the space, and finally put the Rambo gun in.
Rambo's gun is more than 200 pounds, and it takes up very little space, so it is not a problem to put five or six guns.
After amusing himself for a moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Your Excellency. The wind elf Fabian knocked on the door and came in, holding a plate of sumptuous food in his hand, putting it on the table, and said respectfully: "This is the dinner I asked the chef to make especially for adults, please enjoy it." ”
"Well, you have a heart. ”
Wren smiled and nodded, and quietly opened the soul eye to observe Fabian's soul, confirming that he had no dissenting intentions and that the food was fine.
He quickly wiped out the dinner, and Fabi was standing by his side to serve.
This wind elf has the essentials of serving the higher-ups and has a good grasp of the scale, neither too close to the point of getting in the way of the meal, nor making Wren feel that he is just putting on a show, everything is just right.
If it weren't for Pian's appearance, Wren would have mistaken him for a human who had been a housekeeper for years.
Taking the glass wine glass handed over by Fabian and taking two sips of red wine, Wren glanced at him and said, "Fabian, what do you have to say?"
"Your Excellency sees it. ”
Fabian bowed politely, then took out an account book from his bosom and handed it over: "This is the asset table in the castle, I have counted it, please take a look." ”
"So fast?" Wren was a little surprised by the Wind Elf's efficiency.
He took the ledger and began to flip through it.
There are not many pages on it, but the assets of the castle are listed in great detail, including the number of people, food reserves, furniture and horses, cash stocks, etc., each of which is clear, and even the recommendations and budgets for the restoration of the castle and the recruitment of manpower.
After reading this account book, Wren was very satisfied, this is a talent!
With a smile on his face, he did not hesitate to compliment: "Fabian, you have done a good job. ”
"Serving the Earl, that's what I'm supposed to do. Fabian hurriedly got up, looking modest.
In Wren's soul eyes, he saw that the wind elves were modest on the surface and did not dare to ask for credit, but in fact, they were very proud in their hearts.
This is an ambitious man, no wonder he dares to take the lead in surrendering to himself.
He smiled secretly and asked, "With your work ability, why did you just work as a tax lieutenant before?"
Fabian's face was slightly stunned, and he replied after a few seconds: "I entered the Blue Water High Fort more than twenty years ago, and served three times, but I am an elf, so I ......"
He didn't say any more, the meaning was obvious.
Wren nodded abruptly.
The elves once ruled most of the world of Erenuse, but that was a very ancient history, thousands of years ago, and now the elves have retreated to the far western continent, and the glory of the past is long gone.
This is the age of human beings, and elves are just an alien race to people.
Most of the elves are more powerful than ordinary people, and people envy them for their long lifespans, beautiful appearances, and often seen in the Empire, without much mystery.
The attitude of the elves towards humans has always been arrogant and difficult to get along with.
Humans also don't like elves to integrate into their own world, and they may be able to work together, but the difference in appearance is always a reminder that elves are not their own kind.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
Alan Eus doesn't have this sentence, but he has a similar truth.
To put it bluntly, it is actually racial estrangement, not to mention it on the surface, but in actual work, there is an invisible glass ceiling.
Unless they possess extreme strength, it is difficult for ordinary elves to climb to high positions in the human realm.
Fabian's strength is good, but he can only be regarded as a mid-level demon swordsman, and the Modu nobles will not take him too seriously, maybe they will be on guard.
Wren closed the account book, straightened up, and said seriously: "Fabian, here I only look at ability, not background, as long as you work hard, I will not treat you badly." ”
Fabian was stunned.
Because Wren said the above words in Elven language.
"Lord Earl......" Fabian was excited, raised his right hand to make a strange gesture, and said with a solemn face: "In the name of the moon god Eluna, I, Fabian* light song, am willing to dedicate my loyalty and strength to Count Glamorgan, and never betray it. ”
Swearing by one's faith is a very formal oath, and while there is no real loss after breaking it, there are very few people in Ehrenus who break their oath of faith.
Wren saw that Fabian's soul fire was beating, and there was not a word of lie.
He also stood up and responded, "I accept your allegiance. ”
After the oath, Fabian was overjoyed, feeling that his relationship with the Earl was closer, and he regarded it as his own.
"Alright, sit down and talk. ”
Wren had already seen that Fabian still had something to say, and it wasn't as simple as sending the ledger.
Fabian pondered for a moment, "My lord, if you want to control the territory, it is useless to just occupy the blue water high castle, you also need more manpower, not only to protect the lord himself, to prevent the enemy's counterattack and assassination, but also to clean up the various forces in the territory, especially the two docks, where the guard force is not much worse than the castle." ”
Wren nodded, he had considered this question.
There is no need to worry about his own safety, as long as the Council of Six does not take action, and Osiria is secretly protecting, there is no problem.
The main thing is to find someone to rule the territory, and a team of silver knights is not enough.
How can taxes be collected in the territory without the backing of private armed forces?
He could ask the Duke of Silver Star for help and send a few more teams of Silver Knights, but it would take time, and doing so would be equivalent to luring a wolf into the house, and it would be very difficult to refuse the Duke of Silver Star to interfere in the affairs of the Glamorgan Territory in the future.
"What's your idea?" Wren asked.
Fabian said his thoughts: "Your Excellency may not know that there is one of the largest talent markets in Modu in the territory, gathering a large number of transcendents and alien masters, and there are many adventure groups and mercenary groups, as long as there is money, even legendary powerhouses can be hired. ”
