Chapter 169: Coming Around and Around, Finally Together Again (4/4)
At night.
A restaurant in the backyard of the temple.
Xia Lina drank a large mouthful of potato and mutton soup, sighed in satisfaction, and asked, "Rosen, I heard Sister Vina say that you slept for a full day after you came back?" It makes her worry about it. ”
Lawson was nibbling on the steak, and when he heard this, he winked at Vina, who was sitting across from him, with a grateful expression.
"Thank you Sister Vena for your concern, I'm fine."
Vina nodded to Rosen in response, and then immediately lowered her head and ate her dinner seriously, like a frightened quail.
Rosen then explained: "Actually, I slept for more than two hours, and I have been studying spells since then." ”
"Well, your obsession with spells is unimaginable."
Rosen raised his eyebrows: "To be precise, what I'm obsessed with is not spells, but the power that spells bring me."
Xia Lina frowned slightly: "This sounds a bit dangerous, and many mages have fallen into the devil's trap because of this."
Rosen wiped his hands with a napkin and began to cut the steak.
At the same time, he added: "To be precise, I am obsessed with the power that I have created myself, not the spells given by others."
Xia Lina was immediately relieved: "This sounds really arrogant. But if it's you, that's a bit reliable. ”
With that, she pulled out the Wraith dagger and handed it to Lawson.
"This dagger has been purified, and the original name is not good, so the priest of Senge changed it to the Holy Spirit Dagger without authorization."
"What a good name."
He quickly tested the performance, and the treasure trove was updated with the information.
Holy Spirit Dagger (sanctified necromancer relic)
Effect 1: Intermediate Guide.
Effect 2: Advanced Focus.
Effect 3: Holy Spirit Blessing. When cast, there is a 50% chance to trigger the Holy Spirit's Blessing, increasing the caster's mana power by 50% for the next 5 seconds.
Lawson watched the dagger turn bright purple and emerald green, and his heart moved slightly.
It doesn't seem to be an alloy, but it's under the influence of an evil force. ’
It's funny how simple force can change physical properties without changing chemical properties. ’
Once again, Rosen deeply felt that there was a lot to be done in refining the weapon!
Back to business.
Examining the dagger carefully, he asked, "The Holy Spirit blessing won't consume my vitality, will it?"
I'm afraid that I will only change my name.
Xia Lina glared at Rosen hard: "How is it possible?" The wisdom of the Golden God is unmatched by that of the Necromantic Monarch. ”
"But power doesn't come out of nowhere."
"What is this out of nowhere? It's nothing more than a randomly triggered master-level mana focus effect. ”
After a pause, her face was filled with contempt.
"Van Delong also has this ability, since it is a magic weapon for his own believers, he can simply get a controllable trigger, or 100% trigger. It's not harmful to make a random trigger and absorb life vitality. ”
"Oh~ You're very right." Lawson was completely relieved.
But he still didn't plan to use this Holy Spirit dagger, but took it back and dismantled it and studied it carefully.
Because he really doesn't like this kind of randomly triggered effect, it is too easy to disrupt the rhythm of the battle.
After another bite of the fatty lamb chops, Rosen asked, "What is the baron's attitude towards the necromancer?" ”
"I'm a little happy, but I'm also worried, I'm afraid that the Ice-Blood Warrior Regiment will rush over to take revenge on him."
After a pause, a solemn look appeared on Xia Lina's face.
"Speaking of which, the Ice-Blood Warriors may be more difficult to deal with than the Necromantic Army."
"The current news is that those warriors at least have the strength of low-level warriors, and even more sorcery bestowed by the evil god Rada."
"The regiment commander Canretto was originally a mid-level peak warrior, and the elites he took away were all mid-level warriors."
"After becoming a believer in the evil god, his strength has increased greatly, and Canretto has directly become a high-level warrior."
"Among the 30 elite henchmen under his command, three of them have been promoted to the high rank, and the rest are also mid-level, or even peak strength."
Listening to this, Lawson suddenly felt that the lamb chops in his mouth were a little tasteless.
"That's a bit of a big deal."
In the face of such a samurai army, the necromantic army can perfectly restrain it, because the samurai rely on close combat, and once they get close, the necromantic golem can use a terrifying blood explosion to defeat both sides.
Perhaps the Ice-Blooded Samurai will still be able to achieve final victory, but they will definitely suffer heavy losses and lose their threat to Whitehorse Town.
But such an ice-blooded warrior regiment poses a huge threat to mortal armies, especially to mages.
Rosen can still vividly recall Angrul's sharp three arrows last night.
And there is definitely no shortage of people in the Ice-Blood Warrior Regiment with amazing archery skills, and if they really fight on the battlefield, he may not even dare to show his face.
Xia Lina spread her hands and sighed softly.
"Now the situation is that the Ice-Blooded Samurai could attack Whitehorse at any time. According to Pesse's estimates, she will come as early as the night after tomorrow. ”
Rosen was stunned: "The day after tomorrow. How did she estimate? ”
"The distance, the speed at which the news spreads, and the in-depth knowledge of the situation of the Ice-Blooded Warriors, especially the character of the leader Canreto."
As she spoke, she handed a report to Lawson.
"Oh~ This is the analysis report she gave."
Rosen took the report and read it carefully, then nodded.
"If Pesie's information is correct, then I agree with her analysis."
I couldn't help but be greatly moved in my heart: "If I had an intelligence officer of this level in Silvermoon Castle, it would be much better than me asking around alone." ’
However, how to help her get rid of her guilt and how to accept it is not yet available.
Back to the Ice Blood Warriors.
Rosen asked, "The reason for the Ice-Blooded Samurai Order's attack on Whitehorse is that Canreto is avenging the woman. Can you hand over the Baron to Canretto? ”
Seeing Xia Lina's speechless look, he also spread his hands.
"Sacrificing a baron for the safety of the townspeople is worth it."
"Moreover, in this way, the temple can take the opportunity to occupy the power gap left by Baron Morey and deepen its control over Whitehorse."
Xia Lina thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case, but there were also many concerns.
"There are two points."
"First, the Baron has many loyal men who will never agree to hand over the Baron."
"Second, after all, the Ice-Blood Warrior Order has followed the evil god, and handing over the baron is to surrender to the evil god, which will damage the prestige of the god."
Rosen smiled: "When the red moon is good, everyone is naturally loyal." ”
"But when the army is overwhelmed and the head is not protected, the number of loyal people will fall off a cliff, especially when you know that this disaster was caused by the baron himself."
"As for your second point, that's a problem. I have an idea. ”
Xia Lina hurriedly asked, "What do you think?" ”
Rosen beckoned to her: "Come here, I'll tell you quietly." ”
Charina got up and walked over to Rosen.
Rosen leaned into her ear and whispered his thoughts.
Xia Lina's eyes showed a slight look of shock, and then said: "This method is okay, but it is very difficult to implement. ”
Rosen smiled: "Take one step at a time, what if the opportunity arises?" ”
Xia Lina nodded in agreement: "You're right. ”
Later, Rosen reminded: "The baron is very shrewd, we can think of anything, he must be able to do it, we have to be careful that he jumps off the wall in a hurry." ”
"Dog anxious. Jumping off the wall haha. So how does he jump? ”
"There are many ways to do this. The baron himself is also a mid-level peak samurai, and more than half a year ago, he didn't get two ash bird feathers, what happened to those feathers? ”
"Give it to the temple to purify into the feathers of the immortal bird. One returned to the temple and sent to Winterfell. One goes to the baron, at his disposal. ”
"Did he use it?"
"At the moment, it seems to be useless."
There is a difference between coarse and fine use of this thing, and coarse use is like Cyrus, and fine use is much more exquisite.
To choose a person, the selected person also needs to carefully adjust his body to the best state, and he also needs to ask a famous alchemist to help him refine it, and it is possible to delay it for a year or two.
Rosen said, "If he uses the Feather of the Immortal Bird, his strength should increase significantly, break through to the high rank, and become a powerful Immortal Bird Warrior."
"That being said, if you are not prepared to use it by force, it is a big risk, and you may also burn yourself into ashes."
"I bet he'll definitely use it for his life!"
"Even if he uses it, it's still not enough to deal with the Ice-Blood Warrior Order."
"But you can greatly increase your prestige, and if you play a drama of repentance for your mistakes, you will definitely be able to win forgiveness and sympathy, and then you won't be able to hand him over for his guilt."
Xia Lina chewed the potato cubes in her mouth and nodded slowly.
"With the shamelessness of a baron, there is no moral pressure to do these things. So how to deal with it? ”
"Find Lady Pessy, maybe she'll have a way to steal the Immortal Feathers."
"I don't think she's that capable."
"Ask, and don't lose anything."
So, the two of them quickly finished their dinner and moved to the courtyard where Mrs. Pesy lived.
After hearing this, Lady Persie covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Aha~ You're really here, look, what is this?"
She pulled out a beautiful box made of Sergein and gently pushed it in front of the two of them.
Rosen gently opened a crack, and a fiery red shimmer suddenly appeared in the box, making people feel a little scorching warmth.
Xia Lina was shocked: "The feather of the immortal bird?!" How could it be with you? ”
A cold glint flashed in Lady Pethie's eyes: "Miss Summera, don't underestimate my determination to take revenge. ”
"After the death of the necromancer, I have been thinking about the Baron's approach, and it just so happens that I have also placed a few very loyal chess pieces in the White Stone Castle, hehe~~"
Rosen's heart shook slightly, and he realized that he had once again underestimated Mrs. Pethie, a woman who had more means than he had imagined.
After thinking for a moment, he handed the box to Summera.
"The Baron has lost an important means of survival, and he must be furious in the castle at this time."
"Giggle~ He will also fall into the abyss of despair. It would be even better if, in desperation, he turned to the devil for relief. ”
Lady Pesy smiled happily, her green eyes glinting with schadenfreude.
Xia Lina handed the box back to Lawson: "You are a flame mage, this immortal bird feather should greatly increase your strength." ”
Rosen was indeed quite impressed.
When Cyrus absorbed the power of the Ash Feather, he almost overturned the high-ranking samurai Shabolai.
If he could absorb the feathers of the immortal birds, his strength should also be greatly increased.
It's just that this thing is very precious, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it, and I give it to him directly, it doesn't seem to fit the procedures of the temple?
He spoke straight to his thoughts.
Charina is also very crisp.
"Strictly speaking, it's not procedural, but since it's in my hands. I can use it for whomever I like. ”
"I'll love it for you now."
Rosen was shocked and looked up at her.
Xia Lina also looked up at Lawson, her golden brown eyes looked straight ahead, and the depths of her eyes revealed five points of stubbornness and five points of obsession, like a coquettish girlfriend.
Rosen immediately understood that this big sister not only belonged to him in body, but now even her soul almost belonged to him.
He reminded in a low voice, "Marina, you are the blade of the gods, and your soul belongs to the gods. ”
"God cares for you, so I take extra care of you according to God's will, isn't it?"
This seems to be true.
Rosen was already very impressed by the feather of the immortal bird, so he no longer refused.
"Then in that case, I'll take it."
Rosen took the Therguin box, and when he opened it, he saw a fiery red feather about 20 centimeters long and 5 centimeters wide, with a faint light of fiery red on the feather, which was very delicate and gorgeous.
He thought back to the alchemy book he had read, "Transcendent Things".
'The Immortal Bird is an extremely powerful and transcendent race. During the transcendent judgment of that year, it took the Golden God a full 100 years to completely banish the King of the Immortal Birds. ’
Its feathers contain the power of pure fire, which can be swallowed and absorbed directly, or it can be refined into a potion to absorb it. ’
'Absorbing directly will give you the greatest effect, but if you miss the pool, your body will burn to death. ’
'The refining elixir is safe and stable, but there will be a great loss of strength, and the technique is not good, and there may even be no one in a hundred. ’
'After absorbing, the mana will be greatly increased, and it will be dyed with extremely high flame polarity. ’
Lawson carefully observed his situation, and after careful consideration, he reached out and grabbed the immortal bird feather, kneaded it, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and swallowed it.
"Ah~~~ You don't want to die!"
Xia Lina was startled, and it was too late to stop it.
Lady Pessie's eyes were bright, and she flashed with admiration.
Because Rosen did this, it was certainly not the ignorant recklessness of an ignorant teenager, but a well-thought-out adventure, which required great courage.
In her opinion, this is also the moment when the man's charm is the strongest.
