Chapter 389: Tears of the Dead, El Forest
Angus pulled out a key and inserted it into the hole.
"Click~"
The heavy iron door slowly moved open, revealing the empty world behind it.
Rows of wooden shelves are neatly arranged, with a variety of minerals and plants, as well as huge sculptures.
Some are hideous and terrifying birds of prey, some are lifelike flowers and vines, and some are all kinds of gods.
In the space behind the iron gate, there is a rich aura, as if you are in another world.
The air in this space is very turbid and oppressive, filled with a tyrannical manic flow of energy, similar to the miasma in the Elwyn Forest.
However, it is more viscous and dull.
"This is your hometown?" Li Ang looked around and wondered, "Why is it a little different from what I imagined?" ”
"It's called Alwyn's Forest, and of course it's not the same as the forest you remember." Angus explained, "This is the realm of the undead, and all life dies from the plague.
Although the Elwyn Forest has been destroyed, there are still many energy aftermaths left in the spatial rift, causing spatial disorder and continuous collapse, which formed this area.
The sculptures you see are guards and sacrificial items, as well as lockers filled with all sorts of precious resources.
Other than that, though, there's basically nothing in the space.
The only things that are worth it are the spatial rifts I just mentioned, and this mountain range. ”
Li Ang nodded thoughtfully, "It turned out that the space was collapsing, no wonder we were trapped." ”
Angus looked at him: "Do you have anything to gain?" ”
Li Ang spread his arms, "Nothing, but I came across a few skeletons and a group of rotting animals, and it smelled disgusting." ”
The two walked over to the shelves, rummaging through the bottles and jars, looking at their materials and textures.
Leon picked up a strange crystalline piece of black metal at random and asked, "What is this?" ”
"This is the 'Tears of the Dead', a very precious elixir."
Angus explained, "The effect of this Tear of the Dead is very powerful, it can increase the physical and mental strength of the user, and it is especially useful for necromancers. ”
Li Ang frowned when he heard this, "Since it can increase the energy and physical strength of the necromancer, it must be much stronger than ordinary potions, right?" Why are you reluctant to use it for yourself? ”
Angus smiled, pointed to the jars and jars, and said, "Because these are not real tears of the dead, but fakes made from dead bones."
True Tears of the Dead need to be extracted by the hands of an alchemist to be most effective, and this is not a suitable place for alchemy. ”
Leon shook his head, tossed the 'Tears of the Dead' aside, and continued to check the items on the shelves.
The goods on these shelves are varied, and most of them are alchemical products, except for some antique jewelry.
Among them, some are some kind of ore or plant sap, roots, leaves, branches, some are alchemical materials or some kind of organs, internal organs, and some strange handicrafts.
In general, these are not entities, but merely illusions created by alchemists using magic.
As for the value of these apparitions...... Hehe!
Leon pursed his lips and sneered, he now knew what these phantoms represented.
Phantoms, like in the game
PC the same.
Each upgrade is refreshed and then adjusted to the player's liking.
When the player needs the Phantoms, they can carry them with them and summon them in case of danger to help them defend themselves against attacks.
At the same time, each time the phantom is spawned, it will record the map the player is on, and teleport the phantom back to the respawn point in the main city, and then re-dispatch it.
When the Phantom is depleted, the player will also need to resummon or buy a new Phantom card from the system - just like buying equipment in the game.
To put it simply, after the player has these phantoms, it is equivalent to mastering the coordinates of this world, and at any time they can find a random location to stand, and they can teleport back to the respawn point of the main city, or land directly somewhere near the main city.
However, the Phantom is also flawed.
First of all, phantoms are virtual items that shatter when attacked, turning into pure spiritual energy and dissipating and cannot be re-summoned.
Secondly, the summoned phantom must match the player's aesthetics and characteristics, if it is too ugly, obscene, or too weird, it is better not to summon.
Thirdly, the combat effectiveness of the Phantom is extremely low, only equivalent to a weapon.
If the player is attacked, the phantom shatters instantly, unable to help the player's defenses, and only regains its cohesion before dying.
Finally, the Phantom's combat power will increase as the player's strength increases.
These apparitions exist for 24 hours, after which they disappear as pure spiritual energy.
The longer the phantom exists, the less spiritual energy it consumes, and the more powerful it is.
Moreover, the combat power of the phantom is fixed, and no matter how strong the player's strength is, it cannot be changed.
For example, the phantom summoned by Leon is only as strong as a second-order zombie, and it can't defeat a fifth-order zombie or a fourth-order zombie, and it can't even interfere with the zombie's behavior.
However, if the player who summoned the phantom himself reaches the sixth or seventh order, the phantom will gain terrifying strength far beyond that of ordinary second-order zombies.
"Looks like these apparitions are really good for combat."
Leon groped his chin and muttered, "If the strength of the phantom is set at the 5th order, it should be comparable to an ordinary 6th order powerhouse.
Let's say that the Phantom is set at the peak of the 7th order...... Hiss~ That's not invincible! ”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little eager to try.
But after thinking about it carefully, Leon shook his head again.
The role of the Phantom is to protect the player from a desperate situation.
If he summons a bunch of Tier 6 or even Tier 7 Phantoms, who will protect him?
He didn't want to be like Spider-Man, where a Tier 8 red spider suddenly popped out and bit him.
"Hmm...... There's no hurry, it's idle anyway. Li Ang said: "I'll see if there is anything that can quickly improve its strength." ”
Angus didn't speak, turned and walked down a narrow alleyway, heading deeper.
"Hey! Where are you going? ”
Leon hurried to catch up with Angus.
"We're looking for something that will improve our strength." Angus said without raising his head: "You want to learn alchemy?" It's impossible, it requires a huge amount of technical accumulation, and your talent is not enough to support your research. ”
Li Ang shrugged his shoulders and said disapprerovingly, "Do you think my level of wisdom is not as good as those old stubborns? ”
"Huh?" Angus was slightly stunned and turned his head to look at him in surprise.
"You don't really think I can't even understand the basic length of Alchemy, do you?"
