Chapter Ninety-Six: Runes
Lan Wu had a strange expression, looking down at the black pattern condensed on his chest and was silent.
Runes, a unique system in the game. A single rune has different attributes, and a specific number of runes embedded in the grooved equipment will form a unique piece of equipment. This is the language of the runes. Most rune words are not very useful, not much different from normal gold or dark gold equipment. And a few runes have unparalleled attributes, comparable to artifacts.
It's just that...... Lan Wu was a little dazed. These patterns that appear on your body are runes? Aren't the runes in the game gray stones?
The black runes continued to condense, and soon they were dense on his chest. The runes were like living creatures, dense on the chest and then spreading to the back. In a short moment, a circle of runes also appeared on the adjacent forearm.
Although he was reminded by Rodament, Lan Wu didn't see that the closely connected runes on his body were the kind of runes in the game. As time passed, he could see that the so-called runes were gradually simplifying, forming a simple pattern like the one on Rodamant's chest.
"Uh...... Is this a rune? Lan Wu looked up, a puzzled expression.
At this time, Rodament also came to his senses. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and gave an explanation that made Lan Wu stunned: "I can recognize thirty-three runes among them, how many runes are still hidden...... Sorry, my experience is limited. ”
"Thirty-three runes?" Lan Wu was stunned and nodded at the black pattern on the skin on his chest that had already formed a straight line.
"Runes contain great power. When the strength is insufficient, the runes will form the lowest form on their own. Rodament nodded happily.
Lan Wu was speechless. Well, straight lines are the lowest and most basic form compared to crooked lines. Compared to this, how to upgrade other skills is the focus.
"With this rune, you can upgrade your skills?" Lan Wu decisively asked the question he wanted to know the most.
"I can't." Rodamant shook his head.
Lan Wu was immediately deflated. Other skills can't be upgraded, and they can't increase damage at all, so it's okay to say, but what about arriving at Kurast Harbor, Monster Fortress, or Harlogas in the future? With just this little bit of basic skill damage, a mob is enough to choke.
"You still need to keep upgrading." Rodamant's next sentence left Lan Wu with a black line.
"That's the only one?" Lan Wu was skeptical, lest he experience another great joy and sorrow.
"Of course." Rodamant smiled, his eyes visibly softening.
"Really?" Lan Wu was still suspicious, squinting at the demonic qi that was about to be carved up not far away. So far, he hasn't felt much different from before.
Rodamant shrugged helplessly: "According to the laws of this world, the runes have just been activated, and it will take a little time to get used to your body. I think it will take about half an hour. ”
Lan Wu is as good as a stream, and he is no longer entangled. As long as you can get a way to upgrade your skills, let alone wait for half an hour, you can wait for a day. Of course, only if it works.
Half an hour later, Lan Wu clapped his hands and beckoned, "It's time for us to leave." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was surprised to find that Flora and the others looked strange, and they didn't move for a long time, but just looked at themselves. He smiled faintly, and casually stuffed the leather armor he took off into the space bag: "It's hot, so cool." ”
"There's something wrong." Flora pulled Erin and grunted in front of her.
Lan Wu smiled and ignored it. Rodament is a strong hole card. Such a good thing naturally has to be kept from anyone, so as not to be inadvertently leaked by them and cause unnecessary trouble. After all, Rodamant is a member of the Hradim clan, and all kinds of information and information at hand are fragrant.
The group began their journey of monster farming again. At this time, the consequences of Rodamant's lack of possession were fully manifested. Avila and Lan Wu were still strong with their blood and agility, stubbornly blocking the flaming skeleton attack. But Xiya's output is really a bit impossible to look at.
Rao was assisted by Lanya and the three skeletons, and it took nearly twenty minutes to kill the first skeleton. As soon as the broken bones landed, Rodamant had already floated away to complete the possession. With his joining, the efficiency of the team has suddenly improved a lot.
"Lord Benefactor, I've seen it many times, but I have to say that the spells of this skeleton mage of yours still surprise me." Avila took two steps back, looking at the skeleton in front of her with a look of amazement.
The skeleton was now completely green, apparently poisoned. Its right leg and knee sneered, and its steel-solid bones were decaying at a rate visible to the naked eye, as if they had been poured with concentrated sulfuric acid. Losing the support of its right leg, it tilted its body and tried to keep its balance, forgetting to chase the human in front of it.
"Thanks for the compliment." Lan Wu grinned, bared a few fangs, and casually slapped the hapless skeleton into the air, sending it flying on the spot.
Rodamant rejoined the clan and immediately received full support from the team. In addition to Lan Wu, the three skeletons such as Avila and Lan Ya have quite good combat awareness. Wherever the poison goes, a dense stream of skills will come immediately.
Chain Lightning, Blizzard, Poison Gun, Charged Hit...... Even without Lan Wu's reminder, the women still burst out of their most powerful skills at the moment when the target was poisoned. With full cooperation, in less than a minute, a burning skeleton will fall.
Soon, the small group of about twelve or thirteen flaming skeletons turned into a pile of broken bones, lonely and decomposed into demonic energy. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lan Wu walked over to the demonic qi condensed in mid-air, and lowered his head to carefully examine these so-called runes on his chest.
The slightest trace of demonic qi submerged into his body, and Lan Wu's eyes suddenly lit up. As the demonic qi was inhaled into the body, the pattern on his chest gradually glowed with a faint gray light. The originally straight lines gradually became distorted. All the broken bones on the ground were disintegrated into demonic energy, and the twisted patterns suddenly formed strange runes.
"Sure enough, it's a rune." Lan Wu's eyes flickered. He also recognized the runes that had emerged from his chest. Al, Ed, Terr, three runes, a total of thirty-three runes appeared on the chest, connected by the remaining twisted lines, forming a strange pattern.
The runes flickered, and the warm current flowed through the body with the absorption of demonic energy. Lan Wu felt more comfortable than ever. The whole person seems to be gently kneaded by a pair of tender little hands, indescribably relaxed and indescribably comfortable. Gradually, he was completely immersed in this indescribable pleasure.
"Big ...... Uncle. ”
Suddenly, Flora startled him with a frightened cry. When he opened his eyes, he saw Flora looking at himself with a pale face and tears in the corners of her eyes. He was stunned and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
Flora didn't make a sound, just bit her lip tightly, her face was frightened, and even Erin on the side showed a rare trace of panic and confusion.
"The Benefactor." Avila's pretty face was snow-white, and she wanted to stop talking. His eyes were full of sorrow.
"Huh?" Lan Wu sensed that something was wrong. Not only the three of Flora, but even the Xiya sisters were also white-faced, with a touch of despair in their eyes.
"What's the situation?" Lan Wu was taken aback by the expressions of several of them.
"You...... You've just absorbed all the demonic energy. Avila explained the reason, and the whole person seemed to collapse, and let go of the javelin in her hand in despair.
When Lan Wu heard this, he was immediately startled. He's not a rookie anymore. The most basic laws of this world are not to say that they are memorized, but at least they are familiar, and they come as soon as they open their mouths.
Some of the most talented humans are able to increase their mana level by absorbing demonic energy decomposed by demons or undead creatures. But any human being who can absorb demonic energy has a widely spread name - mercenary.
Mercenaries learn a skill by absorbing demonic energy. They are stronger than normal humans and are able to fight demons or the undead. But it is far inferior to the profession. The real dividing line between a mercenary and a professional is the degree to which they absorb demonic energy.
If you use a metaphor, it is that ordinary human beings are a bottomless barrel full of holes, completely unable to contain demonic energy. Mercenaries are slightly better barrels, capable of absorbing demonic energy, but unable to effectively accumulate demonic energy. And the professional is an intact barrel, able to fully absorb and use the demonic energy.
Although the professional can fully absorb the demonic energy, it is still affected by the body. Each professional's body has a limited amount of demonic energy. Only step by step, gradually absorb the demonic energy, and constantly temper the tenacity of the body, this is also the so-called upgrade. If the level is not enough, and you forcibly absorb too much demonic energy, the final result will be like a balloon that is overblown and inflated. It exploded with a snap.
No one can be fat in one bite. This is one of the most basic rules.
"I just absorbed all the demonic energy?" Lan Wu asked rhetorically in disbelief. But as soon as the words came out, he shut up.
The demonic aura that was originally quite strong in front of him had disappeared without a trace. The ground was clean, not to mention the equipment, not even a single gold coin was seen. If it weren't all absorbed by himself, it would be impossible for these demonic qi to disappear without a trace so quickly.
"This is the Benealent." Luo Damente's voice suddenly sounded in Lan Wu's heart, and he was very emotional: "All the divine benefactors engraved with the runes can easily absorb no matter how much demonic qi they have before they reach their own limit. ”
Lan Wu fell silent.
Rodament fell silent as well. This is the luck of the benefactors, but it is also unfortunate. All the charismatics are left alone and wandering. No friends, no companions, just endless loneliness until that day......
After a long silence, Rodamant comforted him: "My friend Neve once came up with an idea. He firmly believed that his research would free the benefactor from the shackles of fate. It's a pity that I've been demonized and turned into a mummy mage, and I can't wait for the day when he succeeds in his research. If his lab hadn't been discovered, I think the answer could have been found there. ”
"Can you take me to the ruins of Nevere?" Lan Wu raised his head.
(I'm sorry.,There's a party tonight.,Just got home.,There's no time code for the second chapter.,Forgive me...... )
