The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 056 Elite Gargoyle
life.
It is a particularly sensitive hidden attribute.
Before this, Roger didn't even know that this attribute existed!
But now.
The naked data was laid out before him.
He was a little uneasy.
No matter what the preset lifespan is.
One Jhony Turtle equals one year of extra life!
It’s exciting just thinking about it.
"I'm determined to make you my brother!"
Roger's eyes gradually became firm.
He trotted over and put Jonny Stottle's body into the only empty space in the storage bag.
Then he left briskly.
…
Nightfall. Charcoal Inn.
Full of food and drink.
After successively declining the enthusiastic invitations from two curvy ladies and a handsome man.
Roger returned to his single room leisurely.
Jonny Stotle's body is too large to handle, so it has to be put aside for the time being.
He took out the "Developing Potion" from the crucible, and with the help of the "Forbidden Object Identification Scroll", he began to identify the gargoyle statue.
Without the ability to observe qi, identification is actually a very troublesome task.
In Mistra.
All items have a hidden attribute called "Observation Value".
Corresponding to this is people’s “cognitive number”.
When your "recognition number" exceeds the "inspection value" of an item, the item does not need to be identified.
A person's "cognitive number" depends on many aspects of knowledge:
Racial knowledge, regional knowledge, professional knowledge... and so on.
The "inspection value" usually depends on the rarity of the item.
The more common the item, the lower the inspection value; while the less popular the item, the higher the inspection value may be.
For example.
The detection value of everyday clothing is infinitely close to 0.
This means that everyone can understand its meaning and value and use it skillfully.
But the detection value of props such as whips, candles, and handcuffs may be higher .
There will be quite a few people who will not be able to fully understand its full meaning.
As for books, weapons, cultural relics and other items.
Its detection value is even higher.
Ordinary people must improve their cognitive abilities through education and other means in order to correctly recognize and use them.
…
In the process of identification.
The function of the identification scroll is equivalent to providing additional "recognition points".
The effect of the developing potion is to reduce the "detection value" of the corresponding item.
Only when the two swords work together can we achieve twice the result with half the effort.
As soon as Roger tore off the third "Forbidden Object Identification Scroll", the gargoyle statue in his hand began to tremble involuntarily!
A flash of light symbolizing knowledge.
The true identity of the forbidden object is about to emerge.
…
"Gargoyle Statue (Incomplete Forbidden Item 1/3)"
「Rating: S」
"Seal: A Lv29 Elite Gargoyle is sealed inside."
"Unlocking method: Kun's blood curse (already mastered)"
"Remaining Parts Tracking: Not Active"
…
The so-called "Kun's Blood Curse" is a method of acknowledging one's master by dropping blood.
It's something everyone knows in Mystra.
Roger didn't hesitate, he just cut open his fingertip and squeezed a drop of blood on it.
A faint eerie mist rose from the statue.
at the same time.
A series of prompts also appeared on Roger's record column.
After the seal is unlocked, the system provides four processing methods.
The first is "surrender".
That is, to show obedience to the elite gargoyle in the statue.
in this case.
Roger needs to provide the gargoyle with a certain amount of human and animal blood as a tribute every day.
At the same time, he has to accept the mission of the elite gargoyle - to find the remaining two parts so that it can be completely freed from the seal of the statue.
The benefit of surrendering is that you may get help from the gargoyle during the battle.
And a "Movement Speed +50%" Buff.
Needless to say, there are many shortcomings.
…
The second way of dealing with it is "slavery".
After choosing to enslave, the gargoyle will be temporarily unsealed and jump out of the statue to fight Roger.
The temporarily unsealed gargoyle has 40% of its normal strength.
If it loses, it will willingly become Roger's servant.
The advantage of slavery is that you can command this level 29 elite gargoyle to work for you at any time.
The downside is that if you can't win, you might lose your life.
…
The third is "destruction".
That is, to destroy the statue by force.
But this requires a lot of external force. After all, the statue is made of high-quality materials and it may be difficult to destroy it with ordinary weapons.
Upon successful destruction, Roger has a chance to claim a portion of the loot that the gargoyle devoured during its lifetime.
…
The last option is "sacrifice".
Whether forbidden or rare, they are all favorites of gods and other great beings.
Roger can choose to sacrifice it to a god in exchange for divine favor or something else.
System prompts.
It seems that there are quite a few divine favors that can be exchanged for gargoyle statues.
…
Read the instructions.
Roger chose "Slavery" without hesitation.
The gargoyle statue in his hand trembled.
A cloud of black mist suddenly rose up and filled Roger's side.
He took a step back and grabbed the Green Fly Sword.
Two scarlet lights faintly appeared in the black fog .
A hideous gargoyle flapped its deformed wings and flew out of the fog!
On the data bar, information flows like a waterfall.
…
「Gargoyle Lv29 Magical Beast/Elite」
「HP 220 Defence 24」
「Trait 1: Supersonic flight」
"Supersonic Flight: Elite Gargoyles have unparalleled flight speeds, and in short to medium range bursts, their speeds can easily exceed the speed of sound."
「Trait 2: Specialized Intuition」
"Specialized Intuition: The elite gargoyle has a legendary intuition that can easily tell whether the enemy is strong or weak."
…
No time to take a closer look.
Roger clenched the Green Fly Sword in his hand and prepared to meet the enemy.
Who knew that the gargoyle would suddenly land on the ground with a plop when it was halfway through its flight!
The deformed wings folded meekly at the sides.
The gargoyle rubbed its pointy head against Roger's trouser leg in a flattering manner.
That expression is very much like a dog.
Roger was slightly stunned.
…
"You have successfully enslaved the Elite Gargoyle."
"It must obey any orders you give it unconditionally."
…
“Is this what ‘specialized intuition’ is?”
Roger smiled wryly and shook his head.
Put away the Green Fly Sword.
He scratched the gargoyle's head twice.
Aside from the two goat horns, the gargoyle's head is bald and a bit slippery...
Anyway, it feels good.
Roger tried sending some simple commands to the gargoyle.
Gargoyles have a pretty good understanding ability.
Very quickly.
Not to mention basic actions like "opening the door" and "pouring water".
Even complex instructions such as "back massage" and "massage" are executed very well.
"Fast speed, high defense, somewhat similar to Jonny Stottle."
As Roger was thinking about this, an idea suddenly occurred to him.
He gave the elite gargoyles an order—
Hunting Jonny Stotle!
Complex thoughts are transmitted to the gargoyle through the slavery contract.
The gargoyle stood there in a daze for a while.
Roger took out the body of Jonny Stotle and showed it to it, then made several killing gestures.
The gargoyle then took flight and flew out of the open window.
Time passes by every second.
It was late at night.
Roger was so sleepy that he yawned.
The kill notification finally appeared in the data column.
…
"Your minion killed a Jone Turtle."
"You gained 5 XP"
"Your life span has increased by 31,536,000 seconds."
…
"Perfect."
Roger smiled slightly and gave the gargoyle instructions to continue working.
Blow out the candle.
He went to bed happily.
…
The next morning.
Roger left the Charcoal Inn in high spirits.
The gargoyle followed him listlessly.
He was going to the town to gather some intel on Joni Stottle.
By the way, find a long-term place to stay.
After all, we can't always stay in a hotel, right?
Even if your wallet can bear it.
My ears can't stand it either.
Recalling the strange noise I heard late last night.
Roger couldn't help but shake his head.
…
