Chapter 30 'Broken Peak' Mo Knife

ps: In the revised wording, thank you for the monthly votes of "Altar Fat Biao" and "Happy Brother".

"Ancient Weapons - Broken Peak? Are you sure you will give me this precious weapon, a rookie who has just stepped into the red iron ranks, Lord Earl? "Barrett almost hit the ground with his jaw right now. No matter how much he guessed his gift before, Barrett didn't expect that he would be able to obtain an ancient weapon.

"That's right! Ancient Weapons - Broken Peak. Hopefully, it will shine in your hands. The Earl of Boram let go of his grip on the hilt of his sword.

Barrett pretended to stammer, "However, with my current strength, isn't it a bit too advanced to use such a weapon?" ”

"Nope! No! No! You can rest assured of this, in fact, the lower limit for using ancient weapons is generally the peak of limestone, and you can already exert its effects when you have stepped into the hematite rank. "And you don't have to worry about someone coming to snatch it, because if you don't know the ritual steps and the unique rituals that make offerings to it, the ancient weapon is just an ordinary magic weapon in their hands." ”

Only after the user has completed at least one Ritual of Passing the Passage of an item in their hand will they be able to use the item's abilities that match their character's level. That's right - using it doesn't give you all the abilities that an archaic weapon can have at once. Rather, it is gradually obtained as the level increases and the subsequent rituals are completed.

Normally, after completing the most basic rituals at level 5, the user is able to establish a connection with the Ancient Weapon and gain the 'Beginner Ancient Ancestry' specialty. At this time, the user will not be able to open the item, which requires a character level 6 or higher. However, once used to gain a level on any class. When the character's level reaches the level required by the corresponding ability, then he will be able to use the primary ability of the Ancient Transmission Weapon.

When the user's character level reaches level 11, the only way to obtain the corresponding 'Secondary Transmission' specialty is to know and perform the secondary Transmission Ritual of the selected Ancient Artifact. in order to be able to further obtain the secondary ability that can be given by the Ancient Transmission Weapon.

The final advanced ritual is held before levels 15-17 due to the different weapons. It is possible to obtain those advanced ancient abilities.

Barrett still asked with some trepidation: "But don't most of the ancient weapons have a very famous history?" For those who specialize in this area. If you want to find the right ritual and sacrifice method, I'm afraid it's not so difficult! ”

"You're talking about the kind of situation that can only be found when you are out there and have experienced the ancient weapons of many masters. And this 'broken peak' is the product of the side branch genius named Electra in the family 130 years ago, with his own life. At this point, the Earl of Boreham said with great certainty, "Even those scholars can look at the life of Mr. Electra." Find out the right ritual by trying many times. However, the unique sacrifice of offering weapons is only something that we can master in the Bolim family, and without this, they would not be able to exert the ability that 'Broken Peak' should have. ”

The lack of ritual and ritual artifacts is nothing more than an ordinary low-level magic item, which makes those who peek at the artifacts weigh whether they need to risk offending the Bolum family. On the other hand, only by being loyal to the family can you further unlock the follow-up abilities of the Ancient Weapon. It can be regarded as a means of controlling subordinates!

"I really didn't expect that this is actually a treasure left by the ancestors of the family!" While saying this. Barrett's expression on the Mo knife also changed.

It can be seen from the expression of the Earl of Boreham that he is very satisfied with Barrett's performance. Then he stretched out his left hand and patted Barrett on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Don't just see the glorious achievements of your ancestors. If you have ambition, maybe in the future, those juniors will also have the opportunity to admire the ancient weapons you left behind, Barrett. ”

'Earl, isn't that joking!' Where is the ancient weapon so easy to forge, unless there is some secret method on the path of the Boreham family...... even Barrett himself was taken aback when he thought of this, and at the same time looked at the Earl of Borem with a hint of hope in his eyes.

As if he had guessed Barrett's thoughts, Earl Boreham deliberately betrayed him: "After you reach the black lead rank and choose an advanced class." You'll know what you need to know. ”

"I'll be patient until that moment!" Immediately after that, Barrett pretended to be a monkey and asked anxiously, "Then when can I perform the first elementary ancient ritual." ”

"It's been 50 years since this 'broken peak' left its previous owner. Before the ritual can be carried out, it must go through a short period of sacrifice. The Earl of Boreham, touching his chin, said. It will be three days at the earliest! Before I do that, I'll explain to you what you need to pay attention to when using ancient weapons. Although, normally, the abilities it grants will persist while you wear or carry an ancient artifact. However, some abilities require you to swing or use them to make movements, or use objects to perform other actions. And when you lose this item, you immediately lose all the benefits of the Ancient Legacy. At the same time on the other hand. If you want to use the ancient weapons that have been handed down, you will have to pay a certain price. ”

Barrett nodded very calmly: "Is that the legendary personal price?" I've just been mentally prepared for this. There is no such thing as unearned in this world. If you want to gain great power, you naturally need to pay something. ”

In addition to performing a ritual and sacrificing ancient artifacts. The user must also pay some personal cost to use the Ancient Ability. All Legacy items come at a substantial personal cost, meaning that it becomes a vital part of the user and unlocks its full potential. At the same time, the user must voluntarily make these sacrifices to create a connection between the wearer and the item - those personal costs are permanent, and can range from the loss of health to the loss of mana slots.

The user will pay the price as soon as they reach the corresponding strength (level). Of course, the user can also choose not to pay the cost (e.g. you didn't get the required spell level), but then they won't get the subsequent ability to pass the ancient ability until the user pays the cost. And unlike the ability to pass on the ancients, the personal cost is permanent. It doesn't matter if you own the item or not. The only way to undo the cost is to destroy or abandon the Archaic item

"For example, this 'Broken Peak' Mo Knife, according to your current strength, after establishing a connection, you will immediately lose a certain (4 points) of vitality (value) in order to obtain the ability to pass on the ancients. As your strength increases, it will also have an effect on your reaction speed (Reflection Immunity). "The Earl of Boram began to point out the price to be paid for using this 'Broken Peak' Mo Knife.

Barrett smiled and responded, "But compared to the abilities gained." It's all worth it, isn't it? ”

"Although that's right! However, there are still people who will choose to give up the ability to pass on the ancients. Earl Boreham said and gave Barrett a slightly meaningful look, "though I don't want you to be that kind of giveaway at the moment. However, if you are able to have your own ancient weapon in the future, this former blade will lose its value. ”

Giving up antiquities is a difficult choice. However, some people feel that the ancient items they have equipped are too expensive, or they have found a new equipment and want to replace the original one. In this case, the original owner may relinquish his connection to the heirloom if he wishes.

This requires a ritual that lasts 24 hours and the preparation of ritual materials that are worth a lot of money (at least 1,000 gold coins). After this ritual. The user will lose all of the rewards awarded to the artifact (Primary, Secondary, Advanced).

From now on, the item is no longer an artifact for the user, and he loses all of the abilities he previously acquired. However, this will allow the user to recover all of the personal costs they previously paid (such as lost health or other impairments). But he won't get back the money he paid for the ritual.

Therefore, the Earl of Boreham did not want to see Barrett choose to give up the ancient weapon in his hand, of course, it is another matter to obtain the ancient weapon forged with his legendary experience. Unlike the use of ancient weapons handed down by others, this kind of crystallization forged by its own great deeds, because it is obtained by itself, does not need to pay the so-called personal price - more importantly, it has the ability to pass on the ancients, which is often very compatible with the creator himself. However, there are not many people who want to do this, and it can be seen that the Earl of Boreham is quite promising for Barrett's future.

"Do you have your own ancient weapon?" Barrett was stunned for a moment, then smiled embarrassedly: "When you say that, I suddenly feel like I'm under a lot of pressure. ”

Once again, the Earl of Boreham put his hand on Barrett's shoulder: "Although I hope you can take that step. But that's a distant thing after all, don't let it affect your mood now. ”

"So is there anything else I need to pay attention to when using ancient artifacts?" Barrett then asked, pretending not to understand.

The Earl of Lem, who touched his chin, emphasized: "If you really want to say it." Although archaic artifacts are far stronger than regular magic items, they can still be damaged or even destroyed. Of course, as with magic items, a broken Ancient Artifact can usually be repaired. It's just that the price is not small, so don't be too careless when using Barrett. If something really happens, remember to bring back the fragments of 'Broken Peak', which is the key to its resurrection. ”

Whether it's spells or physical attacks, it's not easy to have an impact on ancient artifacts. And even if an Ancient Artifact takes damage (either due to a failed immunity or a direct physical attack), it is more robust than a normal item. But that doesn't mean there's nothing you can do.

Although a damaged Ancient Artifact can still be used. But once it is destroyed, then the Ancient Transmission ability will be gone. Fortunately, no matter what, a destroyed artifact always leaves behind a tangible fragment - a fragment of the blade. The metal head of the staff, etc. Even spell destruction such as Dissociation still leaves fragments behind, a trait unique to ancient artifacts.

"There are grandmaster-level craftsmen in the family who can restore ancient artifacts." Barrett asked eagerly.

Damaged ancient artifacts (which cannot be destroyed) can be repaired using Craft Skills or fully repaired, as if it were a non-magical item. Destroyed archaic artifacts require reforge with their fragments, which requires more effort - but the treasures that accompany the saga are difficult to fully restore by magic.

The Earl of Boreham suddenly reached out and patted Barrett on the head: "Don't think that this is a back road. It's easier to just restore an ancient artifact. If you want to reforge it, you'll have to be prepared to pay for it. ”

Recasting antique artifacts is a time-consuming and laborious undertaking. If the original owner of the destroyed artifact wishes to reforge it, the user must re-perform the highest level of the Artifact Ritual they have previously completed. He had to re-pay for the materials for the ceremony. At the same time, the object must be successfully repaired (or replaced) within a week before or after the completion of the ritual - the original material, the skilled craftsman, and the appropriate tools are all indispensable.

"I'm just saying that just in case. If you can, no one wants the weapon in their hand to be damaged by accident. Barrett said with certainty.

Count Borem nodded: "Since you are prepared for this, it is good. That's right! Let me remind you, although the cost of the first ritual and sacrifice is paid for by the family. But you'll need to work on it yourself in the future. If I'm not mistaken, the cost of the 'Broken Peak' Modao's secondary ancient transmission ceremony is about 12,000-13,000 gold coins. You can pay cash, or use a family contribution instead. ”

"I understand! I'll raise the funds before then. Barrett said, patting his chest. But then he asked, "That's right! Lord Earl, what will be the first Ancient Transmission ability that I will be able to obtain after establishing a connection with this 'Broken Peak' Mo Knife? (To be continued)
