Chapter 269: The Law of the Scepter, the Ghost Fire
Leon squinted slightly, and his gaze passed over the figure of Gouland, and landed on the inner level of the castle, in a gloomy room.
On the bed in that room lay a skeleton covered in black robes, its chest collapsed, its skin charred and it was no longer breathing.
The skull has a dagger stuck in its head, and a parchment scroll hangs from the top of the dagger.
"Huh?"
Li Ang frowned slightly, feeling a burst of discomfort, as if some danger was approaching.
He gathered his thoughts, stared at the ghostly fire burning on his fingers, and exclaimed, "Come out, I can feel you." ”
The ghostly fire fluttered, as if it had heard a call, slowly merging into his palm and burrowing into his right arm.
At his elbow, a bronze ring slipped from the cuff and rolled onto Leon's knee.
It was a bronze ring.
The ring face is engraved with a circle of simple and complex patterns, and a faint mist lingers in it, which seems to contain an indescribable majesty and domineering, which is solemn and solemn.
Three short curved arrows are carved in the center of the ring, and on the left is a hovering and flying green dragon.
“…… This is the Dragon's Vein Scepter. ”
Gouland's voice rang in his ears, interrupting Leon's musings.
"Huh?"
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, looked at the ring, and his eyes flickered.
"It's a treasure lost in the dust of history."
Goulander walked up to him, stared at the silver bracelet in his hand, and said seriously, "You can call it the 'Spirit of the Dragon' - it is a unique material with extremely strong life energy.
In the architectural layout of this ancient castle, a large number of dragon vein spirits are stored, and they have been artificially cultivated and compressed into a ring, maintaining their original appearance. ”
Li Ang picked up the spirit of the dragon vein with great interest and rubbed it a few times, "Since the spirit of the dragon vein is such a precious thing, how can it be passed on to modern society?" ”
"Because, the effect of the dragon vein spirit is too rebellious,"
"According to rumors, a god once fell to the top of the world, and the spirit of the dragon vein was born in the depths of the ruins of the temple.
The original owner of this ring was a knight, and he was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to explore the temple, but found this dragon spirit.
With the help of this knight, His Majesty the Emperor gained great power to conquer the world, unify Europe, and establish a kingdom.
However, when he returned to the castle, he was shocked to find that the palace where he had lived for 200 years had long since fallen into ruins, and the temple had disappeared.
The spirit of the dragon vein is also gone.
His Majesty suspected that the man he had met was the one who had stolen the spirit of the dragon vein.
The knight followed the clues and eventually found the place and found the spirit of the dragon vein in the ruins of the temple. ”
Leon nodded silently, "You mean, the thieves used the spirit of the dragon vein to transform the temple's mechanism, making it stronger, and ambushed the guards here. ”
"yes, I guess that's it."
Goulander nodded and said, "I know that the guardian here is named Arthas Chromie, and he is a very powerful gladiator. But he didn't steal the spirit of the dragon vein, but only took the ring made of the spirit of the dragon vein. ”
Li Ang touched his nose and asked with a smile, "So, if you want to make a deal with me tonight, do you want to partner with me to snatch that ring?" ”
"That's right."
Gulander said sincerely: "Although I admire your courage and strength, if you alone, you will not be able to regain the spirit of the dragon vein no matter what, and you will even have to worry about your life!"
Moreover, after all, the spirit of the dragon vein is a treasure treasured by the royal family, and it should not be revealed to outsiders, if you are willing to sell the spirit of the dragon vein to me, I promise that you will definitely pay a good reward afterwards to make up for your losses. ”
Leon shrugged his shoulders, "Well, it seems that this deal is a sure deal."
I have two other questions, though. ”
Gooland said, "Please speak." ”
Leon continued to ask, "Is the effect of the Dragon Vein Spirit limited, I need to determine if it can really improve the quality of human or monster physique. ”
He remembered that in the plot of the movie, the spirit of the dragon vein can improve the quality of people.
For example, attributes such as strength, speed, agility, precision, and stamina are all doubled.
For example, intelligence and reflexes are all doubled.
Also, resilience.
If the effect of the Dragon Vein Spirit is only once, then Leon would rather choose to increase his strength, speed, and reflexes than choose to enhance his own quality.
Goulander replied, "Theoretically, the spirit of the dragon vein can improve the human constitution and the qualities of demonic monsters.
However, you should be clear that this kind of thing is only for the transcendent.
For example, the strength and speed of ordinary humans, under the improvement effect of the dragon vein spirit, can reach a 2.5 times increase, but it is absolutely unable to carry a 4 times increase, at most 3.7 times;
If it is an Extraordinary, it will be reduced to 0.6 to 0.8 times.
On top of that, the Dragon Vein Spirit only produces an effect every fifteen seconds, and after using it, it can no longer be activated. ”
"Oh, I see."
Li Ang nodded suddenly, then raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and frowned, "The time is almost up." ”
Gulande was stunned and asked, "What time is coming?" ”
Li Ang spread his hands, "During our conversation just now, there were footsteps outside, and it is estimated that those guards are about to rush in." ”
Guland's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Don't panic, it's the secret defense device of the ancient family, controlled by a special person, unless I destroy it myself, there is no way to stop it." ”
Leon sighed, "I know that this defense device was left behind by ancient magicians, and was only designed for ancient wizards and the Black Death.
According to you, you are the Black Death patient of that ancient family, right?
You built this castle? ”
"Not bad."
Goulander said frankly, "I'm the captain of the guard here.
This is the castle left by my ancestors, and it is also the Holy Sepulchre left by the ancient wizards, and many defenses have been arranged around the Holy Sepulchre, which is enough to ward off any invaders. ”
Leon pursed his lips, "It sounds like a turtle shell~"
"It's not a tortoise shell, it's a defensive device."
Goulander corrected: "Our Ancient Witchcraft Research Institute was an ancient magic school before World War II, and our students are all elites, with strength far beyond the limits of human beings. ”
"How did you come up with magic?"
Leon looked at Golander in amazement.
"Uh...... I don't know magic, but I can only tell you that we don't learn in the same way as other wizards. ”
Gulander scratched his hair, coughed dryly, and said: "In short, our ancient wizards are a group of crazy scientists, who have found ways to combine alchemy technology and alchemy from ancient texts and materials, and have created various powerful alchemy items.
