Throne of Vientiane Civilization

After Zhou Xu returned to Black Moon City, he arranged the construction projects of the border fortress and the railway, and then turned his attention to the piled-up work in front of him.

This time he was away for a short time. He led the troops to the battle in the early spring. Now that he returned to Black Moon City, the season has not officially entered summer yet, so the piled-up work is far from much, and he quickly handled it.

On a new day, except for those important documents that he needed to personally review, Zhou Xu basically handed over the processing of other documents to Huo Qubing and Li Bowen.

After all, he has more important things to do in the next period of time, that is, to study the enchantment of the blood-drinking broadsword!

At present, only he can do this job. In comparison, Huo Qubing can actually handle all the work documents. Zhou Xu knows this better than anyone else, but some things involve too many things, and he must make a decision.

In this way, Zhou Xu quickly adjusted his work mode and generously gave the right to handle to Huo Qubing.

Behind this move, it represents a huge trust.

Huo Qubing, who knew this, was flattered. Counting the grace of rebirth for him in the early days, Huo Qubing's loyalty has now reached 95 points. He is a die-hard member, which also makes Zhou Xu completely worry-free.

As for Li Bowen, as a three-star level and excellent internal affairs talent with matching talents, his position in the Qinzheng Hall from the beginning was to help Huo Qubing share the work pressure, mainly responsible for handling some relatively simple documents.

Don't think this job is simple. In fact, among the documents sent every day, less than 10% are really difficult to handle, or even just a few. If Li Bowen didn't help Huo Qubing share the work pressure, according to Huo Qubing's physique, affected by his talent, once overworked, his physical fitness would take a sharp turn for the worse and he would soon collapse.

Considering this, Zhou Xu also attaches great importance to Li Bowen.

Fortunately, Li Bowen has not let him down over the years. Now slowly, this loyalty has reached 85 points, which also makes him completely trust Zhou Xu.

After arranging all these things, Zhou Xu quickly started to study the blood-drinking broadsword.

Unlike the "basic weapon blessing" that could be spread at will and allowed to be "copied", the level of this enchantment mantra is obviously higher, so it also has a defense mechanism.

This forced Zhou Xu to sort out the knowledge reserves in his mind. This part of the content was included in the inherited wisdom he had obtained before.

At that time, he was busy improving the triggering problem of the fire enchantment, so he only glanced at the other contents.

After that, he was busy with the war in the northeast. Such a huge amount of knowledge, he is far from digesting it.

[Take this opportunity to digest all the knowledge of "programming" first. 】

This whole process took more time than Zhou Xu expected.

This knowledge is equivalent to a book as thick as a dictionary. If you just want to read it carefully, you need to spend a lot of time.

The only thing to be thankful for during this period is that this knowledge has been sorted out in an extremely easy-to-understand way, so it is not difficult for Zhou Xu to understand it now.

But even so, Zhou Xu spent almost half a month to finally digest this part of the content.

Leaning on the recliner in his bedroom, Zhou Xu felt pain in both sides of his temples due to obvious overuse of his brain!

This forced him to rest for another day before he officially started researching the Bloodthirsty Sword.

This research had just begun, and Zhou Xu couldn't help but admire that his efforts in the previous half a month were not in vain.

At this time, he just took a rough look, and then compared it with the knowledge in his mind, and he could basically determine that the defense mechanism of this mantra was not very clever, and it was a relatively superficial method.

This also made it easy for him to crack it.

After easily solving the obstacles of the defense mechanism, a complete enchantment structure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Its complexity did not exceed his initial expectations, and it was within his current ability, which made Zhou Xu slightly relieved.

Thanks to the digestion and absorption of those knowledge, Zhou Xu was able to analyze these enchantment mantras with half the effort.

In this process, he soon discovered that there were many familiar mantra combinations in the mantras that made up this enchantment.

For example, ‘slowly absorb natural energy’, ‘toughness’, and ‘sharpness’ are all the enchantment effects included in the ‘basic weapon enchantment’.

Of course, these three effects are applicable to all weapons and are very versatile.

Now that these three effects were found in the enchantment of this blood-drinking broadsword, Zhou Xu was not surprised at all.

Based on the premise that ‘basic weapon enchantment’ is the most basic weapon enchantment effect, any other weapon enchantment may be an improved and upgraded version of this enchantment.

Just like the fire enchantment he had improved on the basis of this enchantment effect.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Zhou Xu. These familiar mantra structures can save him a lot of time and energy, and then he quickly focused his attention on the new mantra combination ‘drinking blood’.

It is different from the situation when he added ‘fire attack’ to the ‘basic weapon enchantment’.

If the operations I had done before were described as simple addition and subtraction, then in this enchantment mantra, the relationship between the effect of ‘drinking blood’ and other mantra effects is equivalent to multiplication and division.

In this enchantment mantra, ‘drinking blood’ has its own independent mechanism.

This mechanism is independent of other enchantment effects, but at the same time it maintains a smooth cycle connection with the entire enchantment mantra, ensuring that the effects do not interfere with each other and can work at the same time.

Similar examples have been mentioned in those knowledge, and Zhou Xu is not completely unfamiliar with this structure.

However, compared with simple written knowledge, this first actual operation is obviously not as simple as it is said. It took Zhou Xu a lot of effort to study that part of the mantra.

[So that's it, the so-called ‘drinking blood’ is actually absorbing the energy contained in the target's blood through a special mantra...]

Everything in this world has energy, even a blade of grass on the roadside has it, and naturally there is also energy in the human body. The main difference lies in the amount of energy.

These energies are spread all over the body, and of course they are also contained in the blood.

During the attack, when the blade touches blood, it will absorb the energy contained in the opponent's blood. This is the truth of "drinking blood".

This is essentially similar to the "energy absorption" of the wood elf wizard.

It's just that "energy absorption" has a wider range of application, while this mantra is limited to absorbing the energy contained in the blood, which is why it is called "drinking blood".
