Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 476: Vivian's Principles
Good stuff.
Not only are the basic attributes ridiculously high, the magic power is as high as 99 points, and the weapon special effects are even more amazing.
Especially the special effects of this 'Shadow of Myrgos'. You should know that the Shadow of Myrgos is exactly the same as the original body in appearance. Raise your hand to summon a world-class third-level big BOSS. Who wouldn't be afraid? This thing is absolutely intimidating to use.
Although the Phantom Dragon only has 10% of the damage of the original body, it is still very powerful when using AOE skills and various functional magic.
The second item was a magic book.
【Dragon Language Magic Notes (Knowledge Book)
Study: Allows you to learn skills - spell upgrade: Dragon language magic.
Learning requirements: Intelligence 120 points, Dragon Language expertise.
Item Description: Milgos recorded his understanding of arcane magic and dragon magic in this notebook, which contains profound spellcasting techniques. This technique allows you to upgrade a spell you have mastered to dragon magic. Dragon magic is extremely powerful, but it also consumes more mana and takes longer to cast. 】
Murphy is very aware of the power of Dragon Language Magic. This thing is equivalent to a small hero skill.
Although more mana is required, for high-level mages, mana is not a problem at all. Learning this thing is equivalent to having an extra powerful skill. Although its value is not as good as legendary equipment, it is quite valuable.
The third item was a turquoise crystal sword.
[Azure Fury (One-handed Sword/Epic)
Attack: 33-57.
Weapon Effect 1: Azure Blade. Your attack deals 10 points of arcane damage (this damage is related to your intelligence, and each point of intelligence increases the arcane damage by 1 point).
Weapon Effect 2: Arcane Fire. Summon a ball of arcane fire around you. The arcane fire will automatically attack enemies within a 30-yard range, causing 45 points of fire damage per second to any enemy it touches.
Item Description: A magic sword forged from arcane crystals, with powerful magic damage attached. The sword is light and suitable for most people to use. Due to its special weapon enchantment, it can also allow the caster to gain powerful melee damage. 】
This thing is definitely a magic swordsman's magic weapon. The higher the intelligence, the higher the damage. It perfectly makes up for the magic swordsman's shortcomings of insufficient agility and strength and inability to hold heavy weapons.
If the intelligence exceeds 100 points, the additional damage alone will be higher than that of ordinary epic weapons . Although it is only an epic weapon, it is definitely the top one in the epic class.
However, this thing is not easy to get. In the early stage of the game Sky World, there were indeed many magic swordsman-type players. However, this type of profession is relatively weak in the later stage, and it seems that it can only be kept for now.
The fourth item was another staff.
As expected of the blue dragon clan that guards the magic net, all the items dropped are magic equipment.
[Staff of the Spellweaver (Two-handed Staff / Epic)
Attack power 32-48.
Spell Power +60.
Weapon Effect 1: Energy-saving Casting. Reduces the mana consumed by 30% when casting spells.
Weapon Effect 2: Extremely Effective Spellcasting. Consume extra mana to store energy for the weapon, enhancing the power of the next magic you cast. Consume 100 mana points per second, and store energy for up to three seconds.
Item Description: The iconic weapon used by the Blue Dragon Weaver. The Blue Dragon Weaver is an expert in maintaining the magic network and managing arcane energy. The use of magic power has reached a superb level. The Weaver's Staff is a special weapon specially built to cooperate with their control of the magic network. 】
This thing is a little worse than Milgos's Dragonspine Staff, but it's still pretty good.
It can save mana and increase burst damage.
The fifth item is a blue bottle.
[Vassel of Arcane Energy (off-hand item)
Drink: Restores 100 mana per second (this item is not subject to the cooldown of mana potions).
Magic capacity: 3000/3000 (automatically recharges when approaching a magic network node).
Item Description: This magic container made by the blue dragon clan can directly extract magic from the magic network for storage. It was once the iconic equipment of blue dragon spellcasters in ancient times. However, due to the excessive demand for magic by some blue dragons and the uncontrolled abuse of the bottle of arcane energy, this equipment has gradually been eliminated from the standard equipment of the blue dragon army. 】
A good thing to replenish mana.
Now I don't have to worry about lack of mana anymore.
The next two items surprised Murphy a little.
[Dragonmaw Warlord's Armor (Chest/Epic).
Armor +188.
Equipment Effect: Supervisor. Grants the troops under your command 5 extra morale points.
Item Description: Armor worn by a general-level commander of the Dragonmaw Clan. The Blue Dragon Legion participated in the Battle of the Dragon Islands. Although the dragon clan possessed great power, they were still defeated by the might of the artifact Dragon Soul. This is the armor of an orc commander that Milgos killed during his retreat, and it is also one of his most proud collections. 】
【Dragon Hunting Axe (Two-handed Axe/Epic)
Attack power: 79-185.
Weapon Effect 1: Demonic Iron Blade. Deals 175% additional damage to spell shields.
Weapon Effect 2: Dragon Sawtooth. Causes 133% extra damage to dragon creatures.
Item Description: A weapon used by the Dragonmaw Orcs to hunt giant dragons. The axe blade forged with magic iron can cut through dragon scales. It is regarded as a threat by all major dragon tribes. Milgos collected this weapon to remind himself to be vigilant against the threat of orcs at any time. 】
Huh? The Dragonmaw orcs actually fought against the dragon army, and actually won?
This surprised Murphy. Although the Dragon Soul was indeed powerful and had miraculous effects on dragons, the entire dragon army was no match for the Dragonmaw Army. This was truly unexpected for him.
And looking at the description on the equipment, the Dragonmaw Orcs went directly to the Dragon Islands to hunt dragons. Are they so arrogant?
He had fought against the Dragonmaw Orcs before, and it felt similar.
I can’t quite understand it.
What's left are some blue equipment, nothing special.
Murphy felt a little regretful. There were so many drops, but not a single one was usable.
It cannot be said that there is no such thing at all. The Bottle of Arcane Energy is pretty good.
It's just useless for improving combat effectiveness.
As for how to distribute——
After thinking for a while, he made a decision.
Vivian and Asona are both his subordinates, so naturally he has to divide the money among them.
Angus was sent by the Dragon Cult, and his loyalty cannot be guaranteed, so I won’t give him to him for now.
Jaina is a potential stock. Give her some attention. Maybe she will come in handy in the future.
After figuring out the distribution method, Murphy said.
Aidan (Captain of the Dragon Knights): "Asona, this Dragonmaw Warlord Armor and this Dragon Hunting Axe are now for you to use. I hope you can serve me well in the future and don't always think about dying in battle."
"Thank you, Lord Aidan!" Asona excitedly took the dragon hunting axe and put on the Dragonmaw Warlord's armor, which was much better than his previous mammoth leather armor.
[System prompt: The loyalty of your subordinate Asona (War Envoy) has increased and is now 85/Trustworthy. ]
Aidan (Captain of the Dragon Knights): "Vivian, I'll leave this Dragon Spine Staff to you."
Vivian reached out her hand to touch it, but then suddenly pulled it back. She was shocked by the power of the staff, but a look of indecision appeared on her face.
The more powerful he is, the less likely she is to accept it.
Vivian Nightsong (Ancient Mage): "But Your Highness Aidan, I didn't contribute much in this battle. This staff is so powerful, I'm afraid I don't deserve it."
Angus nodded hastily after hearing this, "Yes, yes, sir, let me use it."
He was envious of the powerful staff shaped like a dragon's spine.
Murphy ignored him.
Aidan (Leader of the Dragon Knights): "You should take it if I tell you to. You have already decided to serve me, right? I will not mistreat my own people. With this weapon, I think you will be able to perform your magic better , right? Or are you still unsure of your sense of belonging in the Dragon Knights?"
Vivian then took a deep breath and solemnly took the staff with both hands. Immediately, powerful arcane energy was transmitted from the dragon bones to her body. A whirlwind blew up around her out of thin air, and the energy cyclone formed by the arcane energy surrounded her, making Vivian moan with pleasure. After more than ten thousand years since leaving the Well of Eternity, she finally obtained enough arcane energy to satisfy her desires.
[System prompt: The loyalty of your subordinate Vivian Nightsong has increased and is now 60/obedient.]
Murphy couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this, this night elf mage is really arrogant. He only increased his rank by 20 points after giving away a legendary weapon. Does he have to be so difficult to raise?
The loyalty of the lord's subordinates is divided into five levels.
1-30 rebellious, 30-50 uncontrollable, 50-70 submissive, 70-90 trustworthy, 90-100 loyal.
Different loyalty levels will have completely different reactions to the lord's orders. In a rebellious state, there is even a high chance that they will leave. Even if the loyalty level is difficult to control at 30-50, there is still a small chance that they will run away.
If the lord does something that his subordinates agree with, their loyalty will increase, otherwise it will decrease. Therefore, training subordinates is actually a very troublesome thing, and different subordinates have different personalities.
If they are not trained well, they might run away and all the previous investment will be wasted.
The easiest way to increase loyalty is to give gifts.
But not everything can be given as a gift. If you give the wrong gift, it might even cause a loss of loyalty.
Murphy thought that by giving away a legendary weapon, the loyalty would be raised to 80, but he didn't expect it to only reach 60, which made him happy and worried.
The good news is that generally speaking, the slower the loyalty increases, the greater the potential of the hero.
What worries me is that I can’t even pull up the legendary weapons, so what can I give away in the future?
But with a loyalty of 60, at least you don't have to worry about her leaving.
In comparison, Asona is much easier to raise. He can reach level 85 directly with two pieces of epic equipment.
Aidan (Captain of the Dragon Knights): "Jaina, you have put in a lot of effort in this operation. Although I agreed not to give you any spoils, I am generous. I will give you this staff. I hope you can learn magic better.
"Me too? Thank you, Your Highness Aidan." Jaina rarely showed a serious expression and carefully took the Staff of the Weaver.
The little girl was so happy as she waved her staff and cast a few spells.
[System prompt: The loyalty of your subordinate Vivian Nightsong has dropped and is now 59/obedient.]
Um?
Murphy was slightly stunned, thinking, what the hell, you are not happy even if I gave Jaina a piece of equipment?
It seems that you don't agree with my approach.
Do you think I'm too generous?
He said nothing, but kept it in mind.
Murphy turned and looked at Angus who was staring at him eagerly.
Aidan (Leader of the Dragon Knights): "As for you, Angus, you are a member of the Dragon Worship Cult. I am afraid it is not appropriate for me to reward you. This will arouse the suspicion of your archbishop. He may suspect that I want to bribe you secretly. I hope you can understand."
Angus was stunned.
"But……"
Aidan (Leader of the Dragon Knights): "Unless you have made up your mind to leave the Dragon Cult and become my subordinate?"
Angus was speechless.
Murphy knew very well that even though Angus said nice things and sang praises louder than anyone else, whether the NPC was one of his own would depend on the game's judgment.
There is no such guy among my subordinate heroes now. His identity is shown as an ally rather than a subordinate.
This means that the other party ’s reliability is absolutely the lowest.
If you want benefits, that's fine. Just swear allegiance to me and let me see how loyal you are.
[System prompt: The loyalty of your subordinate Vivian Nightsong has increased and is now 61/obedient.]
Murphy was immediately happy. He probably understood Vivian's character.
He should be the kind of person who is very strict and principled, and likes to do things according to the rules.
It seems that I need to be more careful when getting along with this girl in the future.
Then Murphy gave another three thousand gold coins to the three adventurers and added them as friends.
"Take your men back to Dragonslayer Castle. I have things to do. See you later."
As he spoke, he transformed into a giant dragon, spread his wings, and flew into the air.
The place where Mo Fei was going was Tongtian Peak.
The Ice Rift map is not too far from Skyreach. They are both part of the Alterac Mountains and can be reached by flying in a few hours.
As he approached the huge storm surrounding Tongtian Peak, Murphy suddenly had a feeling that this storm - was alive!
Not only was it alive, he felt that he could communicate with the storm, as if he was communicating with a giant beast. This feeling had never been experienced before. It seemed that this must be a hidden ability he gained after advancing to the Storm Dragon.
As soon as he thought about it, the storm automatically rotated away, revealing an entrance like a vortex of air flow.
Murphy was a little surprised. Although he was not afraid of dragon thunder, he could still feel a little bit of threat when flying in and out.
At this moment, the storm seemed to be connected to his will, which was very magical.
This is probably the effect of the power of the storm.
Murphy didn't hesitate and flew all the way to the top of Tongtian Peak without any hindrance. The storm surrounding him made him feel like he was back home.
As I landed in the Dragon Feast Ceremony Hall, the mysterious voice immediately rang in my ears.
Mysterious Voice: Welcome back, Dragon Feast! It seems that you have made new gains. Are you ready to perform Dragon Feast again?
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "That's right, but before we start the dragon feast, I have something to ask you."
As Murphy spoke, his eyes scanned the surroundings, but suddenly stopped behind the altar.
Behind the altar is a statue of an ancient dragon, in the shape of a crouching dragon, with its body forming a semi-circle surrounding the altar.
In the past, Murphy had never paid much attention to it. He just thought it should be a decorative sculpture in the Dragon Feast Ceremony Hall. It was reasonable to have a dragon statue in such a mysterious place.
But ever since he acquired the body of an ancient dragon and had the ability to turn into a stone statue, which he even triggered once in battle, he began to have some suspicion in his heart.
Could this thing be transformed by an ancient dragon?
But on second thought, it seems unlikely. The ancient dragon was huge, and this stone statue is only a dozen meters long.
Besides, it’s impossible for this guy to have been lying on the top of Tongtian Peak for thousands of years, right?
He turned his eyes away without leaving a trace.
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "Do you know the scourge dragon?"
Mysterious voice: "Disaster Dragon? Of course I know. How come you encountered a Disaster Dragon? Did you get its heart?"
