Chapter 104: Artifact, Spear of Leonidas!

Xu Mu returned with all kinds of rich rewards in the shock of everyone.

I found a no-man's corner and quickly counted what I had so far.

After reaching level 15, there are 14 more skill points.

It has also undergone a major overhaul in terms of equipment.

The blue breastplate increases defense by nearly 50.

And the purple leg armor provides 100+ defense

Now if he encounters a guy of Clay's level again, even if he stands in place and fights him, he may not be able to break his defenses.

In addition, the purple boots are also a set, and collecting a complete set will trigger the Servant set effect, which increases the Warrior skill damage by an additional 20%.

Xu Mu knew where the other four pieces of the divine servant's suit (breastplate, handguards, helmet, and bottoms) were hidden.

You'll need to pick up other side quests on Kaia Island and complete them one by one.

However, for Xu Mu, such benefits are not large.

Other players have collected the Divine Servant Set, and with a little crafting, they can basically be considered graduation, and they can wear it from the beginning of the dungeon to the end of the dungeon.

Destroying the walled city is not a problem at all.

But Xu Mu knew a better equipment acquisition point, rather than spending time collecting the Divine Servant Set.

It's better to go to sea and touch the real set of gods after the new map.

Those gold-quality suits are incomparably powerful armor throughout the dungeon.

I looked at the gold coins in my backpack.

was originally poor and white, but after completing several important tasks in a row, it has skyrocketed to a small 8,000 gold.

At present, it is a good time for an average person to be able to spend 500 gold to buy a blue suit for himself.

8000 gold is undoubtedly a huge amount of money.

Xu Mu directly found the local blacksmith shop and arrogantly bought a few blue clothes from the blacksmith.

Replenish the defensive parts on your body, and spend all the money to forge all the equipment to level 15.

There is an equipment limit in Assassin's Creed dungeons, and the level of equipment a player can craft will follow the player's level, and cannot exceed this limit.

Even so, when a glance swept over its own attributes.

They have all grown into a boss-level character.

[Player: A]

[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey Dungeon Attributes]

[Attack: 117~151]

[Defense: 376]

[Life: 8396]

[Bonus: 50% Faction Bonus, 200% Assassin Mentor Position]

【Skill: Shadow Assassin】

[Equipment: Clay's Steel Dagger LV15 (Purple), Kaeya's Servant Shin Armor LV15 (Purple), Eagle Horn Bow LV15 (Blue), Mercenary's Delicate Breastplate LV15 (Blue), Mercenary's Delicate Helmet, ......]

……

150 points of maximum critical damage, combined with a triple assassination bonus, as well as faction and position bonuses, and a 40% damage increase for the Shadow Assassin.

A one-hit sneak attack can deal close to 2000 points of damage!

Looking at the 14 skill points in his hand, Xu Mu did not choose to fill all the assassin skills in one go.

The warrior line is just as important as the hunter line.

The first is the soul skill of the warrior department, Spartan Kick.

This skill is not very powerful, and it only takes 200% of the warrior damage when it is fully charged.

However, it is characterized by its ability to kick enemies out of the air.

If the battle location is along the coast or near a mountain cliff, no matter how much blood the opponent has, a single kick can kill them.

The difference between point level 1 and point level 3 is that in addition to increasing the damage value, you can also kick farther.

Must be full!

Then there is the Bull Charge, which charges forward for a distance and deals 250% Warrior damage to the target.

Xu Mu is used to pointing it out of the first level, as a mid-distance displacement skill.

This will allow you to quickly get into the enemy group.

Then there's the highlight of the warrior genre, the Circle of Chaos.

Similar to the war trampling in many game works in the previous life.

A single kick unleashes a concussive shockwave that stuns all enemies within a three-meter radius, as well as 150% Warrior damage.

After obtaining the corresponding Warrior set in the mid to late game, pull up the Warrior damage buff.

Find a place where there are many people, and the sourness of one foot down, whoever steps on it knows.

Don't hesitate to pull up again. (Skill level is level 3 or more, and 3 skill points are consumed)

Max Tier stuns enemies within a 10 meter radius and deals 250% Warrior damage.

After consuming 7 skill points in one go, Xu Mu quickly pointed out the hunter's signature life-saving skill - the sixth sense.

This skill is a passive skill that triggers automatically when it encounters an enemy.

As a result, when detected by an enemy, the passage of time slows down, and arrows that lock onto an enemy are bound to hit.

It is equivalent to a small lock, and when it is fully pointed, it can buy itself 8 seconds of adjustment time.

There are still 4 skill points left, and Xu Mu is all on the assassin department in one go.

Level 1 Rapid Assassination.

In his previous life, he was also nicknamed the Flying Thunder God by a group of players.

Lock onto distant enemies, throw your weapon, and teleport behind them to assassinate.

Life is not perfect without the Flying Thor Assassin.

The last 3 skill points, Xu Mu poured them into the core skill of the assassin department - Hero Strike.

Arguably, the Hero Strike is the most core skill that runs through the entire Assassin's Creed.

Its damage is calculated as a priority, above all damage.

To put it simply, after stacking countless buffs with this blow, if the player can reach 2000 damage.

Then, after launching a hero strike, you can directly increase the total amount of damage!

The max level can be doubled even more!

The damage is quite exaggerated.

And the most imba thing is that its effect can also be applied to Isu artifacts!

Of course, this hidden little mechanism is only known to Xu Mu.

Because the skill introduction is just a simple hint of 'dealing 100% assassin damage' on the surface.

Compared to others, it is often 200%, 300% bonus.

This 100% effect may seem insignificant.

During Xu Mu's previous life, he didn't click on [Hero Strike] at all for a long time.

It wasn't until he tried to point out a level 1 that he found that the damage had changed amazingly, and he knew how unnatural this skill was.

And in the quest against time, the day is precarious.

Xu Mu estimated that most players might not order this skill.

After all, a copy is not a game, and no one has so much spare time to try and make mistakes.

No one would risk their lives to do that kind of stupid thing that doesn't shine anywhere.

"This can be regarded as a kind of improvement for me from the side of the strategy." With a thought to himself, Xu Mu did not hesitate to decisively fill the [Hero Strike].

It also consumes his last 3 skill points.

"Tsk, skill points are still too scarce." Looking at the fact that there was still a large area of gray and unlit skills, Xu Mu smacked his tongue and sighed.

"Next, it's time to head out to sea for the next new map." After finishing everything, Xu Mu began to carry out the next stage of planning.

After a series of task submissions just now, Xu Mu roughly figured out the direction.

Although the player does not play the role of the protagonist in the game, Sister Ka, the important branch is still to follow Sister Ka's footsteps to complete those things that should be done by her.

"In other words, the big and important tasks are divided into three broad directions."

"The first one is to help Sister Ka find her relatives and find her biological mother and father."

"The second is to clean up the Kosmos cult and take back the political control of mankind from the theocracy."

"The third, look for artifacts, and then find Atlantis, an underwater palace that exists in myths and legends, and open all kinds of artifact treasures."

Looking at the core of Assassin's Creed, if you look at it from the player's perspective.

In fact, it is a war between man and god that lasts for thousands of years.

It is a hymn to human beings that contend and seize power from the hands of the gods, and are intertwined with blood and tears.

If you haven't played the full set, it's hard to spot this lurking very subtle core revelation.

Therefore, Xu Mu did not want to be on the side of the Spartan camp, nor did he want to be on the side of the Athenian camp.

What should be contended is the Cult of Kosmos and the Order of the Ancients, two organizations that hold divine artifacts and try to use divine power to retake over human society.

Including the original intention of the Brotherhood in the game, it is also aimed at 'liberating all mankind'.

And in the dungeon, whether the player who chooses the Peloponnesian League or the Delian League.

They are essentially one handful of humans against another.

The end result, whether Sparta won or Athens won.

It's all humans who lose.

Cleared your mind and confirmed what to do next.

Xu Mu got back on the road.

All the way unhindered, we came to the port of Kaeya Island.

I wanted to borrow a boat to travel.

But after the other party saw Xu Mu clearly, he waved his hand and said that he would not charge.

"On the island of Kaia, there will be no charge for a warrior like you, who is shrouded in the light of the gods."

"Basking in the light of the gods?" Xu Mu smiled faintly.

And this time I am going to slaughter the remnants of the gods!

Of course, he wouldn't say much to the boatman.

It's nice to be able to do it conveniently.

After boarding the ship, Xu Mu handed over the newly unlocked Phokis map to the captain.

The moment he took over the map, the old captain's face changed slightly.

"Warrior of the Gods, are you sure you want to go to this place?"

"This is the center of the war between Sparta and Athens, and it is in turmoil." He said worriedly.

Xu Mu smiled faintly and said casually: "Last night, the oracle entrusted me with a dream and asked me to go here to guide the peaceful handover between the two sides. ”

"I see! It turned out that all this was the will of the Greek gods! The old captain was immediately in awe, and immediately tore his throat and shouted: "All sailors, go full speed towards Fosky!" ”

……

The island of Kaia is not far from Phokes, about an hour's time by water.

However, when he was about to arrive at the port of Fokkis, Xu Mu improvised and asked the old captain to turn the bow of the ship.

Head to one of the Pirate Bays near the harbor.

In my memory, there are several pirate ships entrenched in the waters around here, the NPC's approximate strength is around level 10, and the pirate boss is only level 12.

They don't matter, what matters is who directs them behind them.

The forces from the Delian Alliance regularly pay the pirates to increase their efforts in the nearby seas.

As long as there are civilian fishing boats going out to sea, it is enough to directly kill innocent people.

Maximize the disruption of the Berti War. (Peloponnesian War, later referred to as Bertie)

And the reason why the Delian Alliance did this is that there is another layer of power behind it.

It is also the main hunting target of Xu Mu's trip - the Kosmos Sect.

When the old captain approached the Pirate Bay, sure enough, the pirates who were making waves sailed over.

Xu Mu jumped onto the thief ship, killed indiscriminately with absolute crushing damage, and finally cut off the head of the pirate leader and threw it into his backpack.

The whole process of explosion and killing, the old captain who watched was dumbfounded.

Until Xu Mu was sent to the location, he also led the whole crew to perform a kneeling ceremony on Xu Mu's back.

"He's definitely a god reincarnation! Our Greek realm is about to produce a true god! ”

……

After arriving at Phekis, Xu Mu did not stop and quickly found a piece of territory occupied by Sparta.

His goal here is simple.

Get close to the leader of Sparta and get the Spear of Leonidas, one of the most powerful Isu artifacts in the Assassin's Creed series!

There is more than one piece of equipment in any dungeon, but the Isu artifact series is unique.

If you are mistakenly hit by others, this artifact will have nothing to do with you.

"Stop! Mercenary boy, this is a military powerhouse! ”

As soon as Xu Mu stepped into the Spartan camp, a group of soldiers with spears surrounded him, more than 20 people.

At a glance, a group of people are all up and down level 15.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing golden armor and a red cloak walked through the crowd and stood still in front of Xu Mu.

"What's the matter? A mercenary from a foreign country. ”

"I'm looking for your leader, Niko." Xu Mu looked back at the man.

Stantoll.

In the original, he is the adopted son of Niko, the current leader of Sparta, and is a powerful but lonely warrior.

With a glance, Xu Mu couldn't see through his level, and his attributes were all ???

There's no way, the attribute detection effect that comes with the dungeon is still weaker, and it can only detect enemies within level 15.

In other words, the level of Stantor in front of him is at least above level 30.

"Looking for our leader?" Hearing Xu Mu's words, Stantol suddenly showed a scrupulous gaze.

After glancing Xu Mu up and down a few times, he clasped his hands on his chest and showed an arrogant attitude.

"You don't have that qualification, mercenary. Leaders are not for all wanderers. ”

"Unless you can prove yourself." Stantol paused and continued.

"There is a group of pirates in the nearby seas who have also intercepted many of our Spartan military cargo ships, but our attention is currently focused on the cunning Athenians, so we ......"

Xu Mu didn't wait for him to finish, he directly took out the head of the pirate leader from his backpack and threw it at Stantor's feet.

Stantor's gaze froze, and he looked down again to take a closer look at the skull's appearance.

Suddenly, his face changed.

When he raised his head again, his solitary attitude was slightly restrained.

"Looks like I'm looking away. You do have some strength. ”

"Still, you don't have the qualifications to see my father."

Xu Mu stood quietly in place.

In fact, what Stantor was going to say next, Xu Mu knew it in his heart.

It's just that this task needs to talk to him first to trigger, otherwise Xu Mu would have done it first.

"Next, you need to do one thing for me. Recently, a group of Athenian lackeys have been tipping off them, and we have put the tide of our war in a difficult position. ”

"I need you to find the Athenian lackey and come back to me with his head."

[You have taken on an important side quest - destroy the walled city of the lackeys of Athens!] 】

"It's simple, I'll get it done." Xu Mu glanced at the task prompt and said lightly.

As soon as the words fell, Stantoll suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Simple? Are you sure? ”

He wanted to remind him a few more words, but he felt that he didn't need to talk nonsense with a foreign mercenary like Xu Mu.

Ever since the start of the Burti War, there have always been mercenaries who have fished in troubled waters who want to reap some benefits from the war.

The mercenary in front of him, who was only level 15 and was dressed in tatters, was obviously among them.

These mercenaries have never been able to see their true strength, and there are not a few who have paid the price of their lives.

"Good luck then." Stantor lost his patience to talk to Xu Mu, and said with a bit of amusement and frivolity: "If you can return triumphantly, I believe that 'Blood Wolf Niko' will personally summon you, a great warrior, hahaha." ”

Xu Mu turned around and left, not bothering Stantoll too much.

Familiar with the plot, he knew that this Stantor was actually a good guy.

Except that the character is a little arrogant, there are no shortcomings.

On the battlefield, he has always been the first to charge, fighting bravely, and cherishing his subordinates very much.

He will be a great leader in the future.

……

"Lord Muluo, I've arrived at Phokis as you intended, what should I do next?"

Not long after Xu Mu's front foot left.

Another ship approached Phokys, and one of the players jumped off the ship and opened a separate copy call with Muro, asking in a low voice.

"Some of the mission rewards you just gave me are indeed very rich, and they have already raised me to level 10, and you are indeed the giant light of our Eastern Regions!" The player touted again.

"What you have to do is simple, find a way to get close to Niko, the leader of Sparta, and then take the Isu artifact in his hand, the spear of Leonidas!" Mu Luo changed her image as a naughty imp in front of outsiders, and at this time she whispered with a cold face.

"I'll give you a way to get close to Niko quickly, as long as you can get the spear in his hand, and then you can dominate the entire copy at will!"

"Really...... Are you sure? Is it so strong? The player's voice trembled a little, with a bit of greed.

Dominating in an S+-tier dungeon?

The benefits are too great!

"Okay, I'll follow your lead." He nodded in response.

"However, after obtaining the spear, I need you to help me do something. I'll tell you when the time comes. After Mu Luo finished explaining, she cut off the call.

At this time, she was in a dimly lit underground cave.

Bonfires are lit around the cave, but the surrounding walls and towering stone pillars show a sense of order that is very contrary to the cave.

This cave is obviously a secret base that has been deliberately carved and built.

Ancient and obscure patterns are listed everywhere and can be seen everywhere.

In the center of the circular altar is a triangular pyramid made of mysterious material, emitting an alluring orange glow.

The faction that Mu Luo added to this dungeon is the Cult of Kosmos.

And her status in the camp at this time is the high priest.

"God A, I want to see if your copy is more perceptive, or if I have the Oracle of the Floating Island and know some important strategies." Mu Luo sat on the throne of the Kosmos Cult, her legs folded and intertwined, her lips hooked into a dangerous sneer.

"The Eastern Regions is not a place for you to come and go wild."

In addition to the main character's necessary pushes and pretenses, I will also try to explain the general content of the entire "Assassin's Creed" in the plot, in fact, the background setting of this series of games is very interesting.

However, for many readers who have not played it, it is very difficult to complete the Assassin's Creed game series in one sitting, so interested readers can listen to it as a simplified version of the story to get a general idea of what Assassin's Creed is all about.
