Lost Narrative Poetry

"It's better than slowly adding it back on his own. The time and resources spent are very uneconomical... If not, he may never get up again."

Dikun shook his head.

"Are you sure you really want to order a potion for him?" Xia Ran nodded thoughtfully and asked.

This tone... It seems that making gold-level strengthening potions is not a problem at all. This mage is indeed proficient in alchemy, and what he said before is that there is a high probability of failure and it will only be a waste of materials. Is it really self-effacing?

Di Kun's heart moved slightly, and he looked at the magician wearing a bronze mask opposite with a very complicated look.

It's a pity that the other party seems to have no intention of joining the team that he and others are about to form. Otherwise, it will be an unimaginable huge help. But this time is not the time to dwell on such things.

He nodded vigorously: "That's right, I can't just give up on him... As for the materials, there will probably be a dragon on the cold peak on the top of the mountain. Let's rest for a few more days, and the lost person who will take the mission later will still be there." They will come one after another, and we can finally kill it..."

"The material is not a problem... In fact, I have a copy of dragon blood here." Xia Ran shook his head, "The real problem is actually another aspect."

"Don't worry about this, your reward will not be small. If you are worried, you can pick out a few trophies now, and we will release the allocated things..." Di Kun frowned slightly and simply said He stood up and went to the edge to pick up the light spot.

Others seemed to have no objections, and quickly took out their assigned items and displayed them publicly——

In addition to the dragon roar skill scroll about "Unbreakable Power", there are also a series of melee skill scrolls, such as "Iron Fist", "Battle Stance", "Mastery of Two-Handed Weapons", and "Dual Wielding Fury". "……Etc., etc.

What's left is a complete set of heavy armor, which is clearly the one worn by the Lord of the Dead, including dragon scale armor, dragon scale bracers, and dragon scale boots...

The entire set is made of silver-grade components, including the pitch-black sword.

It's actually a dragon scale suit. No wonder the corpse king is so hard. I'm afraid he didn't actually slay a dragon in his lifetime.

However, that big sword is no longer a derivative of the Dragon Bone and Dragon Scale series, but its name is "Steel Sky Furnace Sword", which can be said to be very powerful. Armor-breaking, sharpness, and magic-breaking, this series of characteristics are all very focused on defense, and there are also additional characteristics such as endurance and magic absorption.

Especially the additional attribute "Magic Absorption". The other attribute bars are all shining with silver luster. Only it and the attribute bar below are flowing with the light of gold——

"Incomplete Legend: The precious weapon forged through the Sky Forge, although in the end it did not fully become a true legendary quality, it has reached this level in some aspects."

Although each component of the dragon scale suit has different characteristics, including strengthening defense, improving physical strength, and increasing fire resistance, almost every component has an attribute such as "magic absorption".

Generally speaking, after the same attributes overlap, the effect will not be simply 1+1. Xia Ran has already known this before.

But because this set of dragon scale equipment belongs to a whole set, and the set attributes are like this -

"Set (2): Greatly strengthen physical defense and resistance to fire"

"Set (4): You can choose an additional attribute to lock, so that its effects can be superimposed almost losslessly."

You don't even need to think about it to know what additional attributes this set of equipment has locked, so it is quite easy to understand what happened before. Xia Ran felt sour just looking at this set of equipment. It was too targeted for a mage like him. .

He can't fight in close combat, nor can he fight in long-distance combat, but his own strength is extremely high, and his attack power is extremely high... This kind of Dragon Roar Warrior is really terrifyingly simple and terrifyingly powerful.

But these things were of little use to him, and he didn't intend to change his route, so he just shook his head: "It's useless for me to choose. In fact, none of the things from the Ghoul King are suitable for me. You should divide the spoils between you." , just compensate me with the corresponding points crystal..."

Then, Xia Ran thought for a while and added:

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want the lion to open his mouth, I just want to remind you that I am not absolutely sure that I can make a gold-level strengthening potion. Once it fails, the materials will be wasted. This is an inevitable risk. I It’s impossible to give you any guarantees.”

"That's enough." Di Kun suddenly smiled. "If it really fails, we can only say that we are unlucky. It has nothing to do with you, Master. All losses will be borne by us."

It seemed that the other party didn't open his mouth because he saw that he was in urgent need of that medicine, but was very cautious and unwilling to take unnecessary risks.

He could understand this, and decided to take a gamble. After all, gold-level strengthening potions could not guarantee 100% success. He was very clear about it, even if the other party was very sure, with a 70% to 80% probability.

What if you are unlucky and encounter the remaining 20 to 30 percent of situations? So no one dares to guarantee it.

Di Kun felt that such a high success rate was enough to take a gamble. If they still failed, they could only say that their luck was too bad... Everyone briefly discussed it, and as a senior person, their wealth was pretty good. Yes, after working together, the points crystallized were supplied to Xia Ran.

However, these are compensations for the previous trophies, because Xia Ran, as a pure magician, has no use for these melee equipment, melee skills and so on.

The dragon blood should remain with Xia Ran, because at this time, there is no point for this group of people to buy it. To strengthen the bloodline, they need to return to the white space for production, and various conditions are required for making potions.

They are still trapped in the collapsed tomb, and Gouzi and the Xueman City guards staying outside don't know how many days it will take before they can dig out a road. It is obviously impossible to make alchemy at this time.

Xia Ran finally got enough of the B-level Karma Crystal he owed before, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling like he was debt-free and light-hearted.

Although the contract in the white space took effect instantly and his B-level crystal was directly deducted, it also meant that the contract was completed. It will not be because he failed to fulfill the contract after this mission, and the Dragon Sacrifice Mask will be taken away the moment he returns.

After taking a look at his current points, he decisively replaced them with free attribute points, and then combined with the six points exploded by the corpse king, Xia Ran once again allocated points to his own attributes——

After the perception attribute reaches 49 points, start adding spirit and intelligence to let it break through the 50-point mark.

There is not much change in the three dimensions of physical strength. His main attributes become 55 points in spirit, 50 points in intelligence, and 49 points in perception...

His mental strength, which had bottomed out, suddenly recovered a lot, making his condition much better. At the same time, the thinking in his mind seemed to be clearer and more active, and he could turn around dozens of thoughts in an instant. And think about it to a certain extent.

My perception is still a little hazy. I always feel that as long as I pierce a layer of window paper, I can gain the powerful skill of mental scanning. But the problem is that I can't pierce that layer of window paper. It always seems to be so bad. A little bit.

Three months to go...

It's not enough. Maybe it's time to pick up Mephala's Ebony Blade. After all, this matter can't be escaped.

Xia Ran wanted to rub his eyebrows with some worry, but was blocked by the bronze mask. A sense of urgency inevitably arose in his heart, and he felt that it was time to make a decision.

Because it was impossible for him to fight against the devil, he had to get the knife sooner or later... Maybe there might be an accident that allowed him to escape by chance, but the probability was too small. There was no hope at the moment, and he didn't want to take a chance. .

After all, if he fails, he will still take the magic knife back. It is even very likely that he will not be able to withstand its power in the real world, and will be corrupted and backfired, setting off a terrifying bloody storm.

It is better to try to control it while you are still in the mission world and see if you can withstand the power of the gold-level magic sword that has not yet been opened...

Let yourself be mentally prepared first. No matter what the problem is, at least you can still find a solution in this world.

He originally thought that this problem was not a problem, and he would just sell the knife directly after returning. But after thinking carefully, he felt that Mephala must have a more comprehensive plan than him.

And to take a step back, if he is really bewitched by the magic sword, it is still uncertain whether he will be able to make the choice to give up the magic sword at that time. This kind of thing is a bit too taken for granted.

After the people around him took a breath, they began to bandage themselves to heal their injuries, or eat and rest, returning to their sluggish state.

Xia Ran was no exception. He found a corner by himself and closed his eyes under the protection of the spiritual shield and the Frost Spirit.

Breathing brings an inexplicable rhythm, and thinking gradually becomes as smooth as a mirror, and no more complicated thoughts arise. He entered a state of meditation to quickly restore his exhausted mental power.

The concept of time was not clear in this state, and he did not know how long it had passed. He opened his eyes again and found that his consciousness had once again entered a spiritual space, and an old ray appeared in front of him. wooden door.

The magician took several deep simulated breaths, then pushed the door open and went in: "Madam, I've thought about it..."

"..."

"..."

"Oh? It seems like you noticed something happened?"

Probably shocked by Xia Ran's sudden neurotic generosity, the deep female voice was silent for a while before speaking with a slightly hypocritical smile.

"Then, go pick up my artifact. It will belong to you from now on. Don't resist its power..."

The scene in the surrounding magic classroom changed. On a table that seemed to be enshrined in a shrine, the ebony blade that seemed to be made of ebony and covered with scarlet rust appeared again.

"What can I gain?" Xia Ran took a few steps forward, looked at the knife, and said in a deep voice.

"My power, and what I promised before... I will let you gain the wisdom of magic. At least in this world, this vast field will have no secrets for you."

Mephala gave Xia Ran a prospect, "Even transcending the mortal world is completely possible. As long as you are willing, I will help you..."

"..."

"..."

This time it was Xia Ran's turn to be silent. After a long while, he suddenly said: "This kind of thing is too illusory and illusory, and it is not enough to really move me. I will not believe in such false and empty things as transcending the mortal world." statement."

The brave will be overpowered to death, and the timid will be starved to death. Not to mention that Xia Ran does not have a long-term vision, but he knows very well that at this time, only tangible and tangible benefits that can be obtained immediately are truly valuable. Guaranteed remuneration.

He didn't believe any of the other statements that showed prospects and told him that the future was promising, but they were only in the future and not in the present. He seriously suspected that they were empty promises... As the most powerful being in the world, if Mephala gave him directly He had already wavered in preparing a complete set of golden holy clothes.

It's not like he can't do it. It's too stingy for the majestic Demon God to promise such a blank check.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. As long as you pick up my artifact, you will understand that I didn't lie to you." Mephala said.

"If it was just like this, I wouldn't pick it up..." Xia Ran shook his head.

"...Do you want to go back on your word?" Mephala's voice suddenly took on a hint of coldness.

"Madam, I took a big risk. I have already investigated how terrifying your magic knife is. If you want me to pick it up... I have to pay more." Xia Ran was not afraid. , argue with reason.
