Chapter 12: The Horse of Bones
"Two elemental resistance, one frost rune, one lightning rune, all four runes are built. β
Ron walked out of the room satisfied, and in just one day, his strength was already earth-shattering, because the laboratory had accumulated a year before, and only this time had he accumulated a lot.
Ron called up his attributes.
Carrier: Ron Whiteman
Constitution: 4.3
Power: 4.1
Dexterity: 4
Spirit: 2.9
Elemental Resistance: 2.1
Physical Resistance: 1.1
Status: Healthy
The four basic witchcraft runes not only raised the spirit to 2.9, but also improved several other physical indicators, what made Ron care most was the increase in elemental resistance, the effect of elemental resistance runes was surprisingly easy to use, and the elemental resistance of 2.1 had reached the minimum requirements for zero-order offensive witchcraft exemptions, and some of the more powerful zero-order witchcraft could resist most of the damage even if they could not be exempted, which gave Ron another life-saving hole card.
As the oldest inheritance in the Star Continent, wizards are not the most powerful or dazzling among them, but in the historical trend of tens of thousands of years, those powerful, weak, dazzling, and humble professions have all dispersed like clouds.
The Titan of Destruction, which once represented the strongest strength in the Star Continent, was cut off due to the depletion of bloodlines.
The Spirit Masters, who once occupied eighty percent of the continent's population, quickly disappeared after the True Spirit Realm fell into the realm of chaos.
The Lich, Beamon, Colonists, Enchantments, Stormbringers, Warven Swordsmen, Metal Masters, Elemental Spirits, and many other once-powerful professions are now gone.
Only the sorcerer has been passed down to the present day, and many new classes such as puppeteers, psychics, mages, knights, and rangers have been separated.
Not only because of the wizard's strange methods, but more importantly, the wizard's long lifespan, although the wizard is difficult to advance, but each advancement means the extension of life.
This allowed some wizards to escape the calamity by sleeping through the many shocks and crises in the Star Continent.
According to historical records, the most dangerous severance of the wizard's inheritance was the Titan disaster 30,000 years ago, when the Titan of Destruction, which fell into the depletion of blood, launched a crazy slaughter on the Star Continent, slaughtering more than half of all the creatures on the Star Continent, and the top powerhouses were killed and injured.
Live longer, and that's where the wizard attracts Ron.
After a hearty dinner, Ron made his way to the quest collection area in the public lobby on the first floor.
"Oh, dear RoβUh-huh, are you going far away?"
Locke, who came out of nowhere, danced around Ron with his own aria.
Ron greeted, "yes, I don't want to be punished for not completing my mission. β
"King Locke will miss you!"
Locke landed directly on Ron's head, but the hat was too big and almost put Ron's entire head inside.
"Don't make a fuss, go find Roy, a box of bait worms, put on my account. β
Ron picked it up, apparently already knowing its purpose.
"Ron, you're so cute, I'm going to enjoy my delicious snack, you don't want to die outside, I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death from Roy's dead fat man!"
King Locke, who was in a good mood, ran rampant through the crowd with a strange smile, startling a group of people to dodge in all directions.
After beating the noisy Locke away, Ron said to a flying elf, "Get the first-level apprentice mission, release it within a month, don't fight." β
"Yes, Lord Ron!"
Released within a month, many of the remaining puzzles can be eliminated, and the risk of the mission is minimized, and Ron is not willing to have any surprises in such a simple mission.
The elf flapped its wings and flew near a huge crystal ball, and after flying around the crystal ball, it flew back with a parchment roll.
"This is the task you need, Lord Ron. β
"Thank you very much. β
Ron took the parchment scroll and unfolded it, seeing that it was listed with dozens of tasks.
"Find clues to Mira's disappearance, investigate the fog of the Horal Forest, capture a Gollum, collect ten Grimace ......"
After going through all the missions, I chose the easiest thing to look at to investigate the fog of the Horar Forest.
Once the quest is selected, all other handwriting on the parchment scroll disappears except for the Mist of the Horar Forest, and is replaced by an introduction and notes for the Mist of the Khorar Forest quest.
After carefully skimming through the mission description, Ron rolled up the parchment, which needed to be written on after the mission was completed before the mission was completed.
In the corner where Ron wasn't looking, a pair of eyes had been staring at him secretly, and they didn't disappear until he had chosen a mission.
The Horal Forest is not far from the Nightmare Tower, if you borrow the Bone Horse, you can reach it in one day, and most importantly, the Horar Forest has a low concentration of elemental particles due to the growth of a large number of Silent Trees, and the Silent Tree absorbs the elemental particles in the forest, resulting in both witchcraft and spells being weakened in the Horar Forest.
For Ron, who has a high physique, strength, agility, low spirit, and no memory of any offensive spells, Horal Forest is his natural home turf.
Ron found the keeper of the stables, an apprentice under the name of Wizard Nikolai, and after decades of hard work, the old man, who still had no hope of breaking through the third-level apprenticeship of a formal wizard, became a stable keeper in frustration, dealing with those mounts every day.
"The first apprentice, Ron, has applied to rent a bone horse. β
"Five magic crystals, more than five days, one more magic crystal every day. The old man said dryly.
Ron scanned the old man's body data with his True Eye.
Target: Human
Constitution: 4.5
Power: 4.0
Dexterity: 2.7
Spirit: 9.6
Elemental Resistance: 3.1
Physical Resistance: 0.1
Status: Healthy
The spiritual attribute of up to 9.6 means that the strength of the peak of the third-order apprentice, but unfortunately it stops here, and he can't get one step closer and break through ten points.
The lifespan limit of a third-level wizard apprentice is around 150 years old, and the old man in front of him who exudes a dull twilight aura is at least 130 years old, and he has reached the age where he may leave at any time.
Ron maintained his basic respect and drew five magic crystals through the magic crystal card.
In terms of practicality, the rental of the Bone Horse is indeed not cheap, it costs five magic crystals, and most apprentices are reluctant to rent such a mount that has no combat power and can only save some time on the road, unless it is a long distance, because for them, the magic crystal will never be enough.
For Ron, time is the most precious thing, at least for now, he has no shortage of magic crystals.
After spending ninety-eight magic crystals and buying a dagger that enchanted a first-order sharpness, he still had eighty-seven magic crystals on his magic crystal card, which was enough to squander for a while.
The old man took out a bone horn and blew it vigorously.
"Whew-"
The horns of the length of the arm, carved from the bones of an unknown giant beast, opened at the end of a beast with an open mouth and hideous fangs, and with the sound of whining, the black eyes of the beast's skull lit up with two faint green lights.
A war horse more than two meters tall and covered with white bones appeared silently through the black mist, and the black mist escaping from the depths of its eye sockets indicated its identity - necromancy.
"It's called Mills, put your hand between its eyes, and you can manipulate it with your mind. β
Ron stepped forward, and under the command of the old man, Mills obediently lowered his head, so that Ron could reach the center of his eyebrows and smoothly planted the spiritual imprint.
