Bracer of Power

Hogg, of course, did not manage to fulfill her dream of taming a succubus as a mount.

As for Landen...

Well, even though the beautiful succubus who called herself Lilith said in a charming voice, "Come on, ride me," our Lord decisively chickened out.

In the end, the matter concluded with Lilith temporarily following Landen.

As for Hogg's mount, Lilith turned and jumped into Withered Wood Lake. A few minutes later, she returned with a turtle behind her.

It was, of course, no ordinary turtle. Its head, like a lion's, with a sharp beak, and four strong legs covered in sharp feathers like steel daggers, all proclaimed the turtle's true identity.

The Vulture Turtle, an extremely rare creature, also known as the Aquatic Griffin Beast. Although it lacked a pair of wings compared to a Griffin Beast and thus lost the ability to fly, its shell and the gills on its face allowed it to live in water.

The Vulture Turtle's limbs were extremely developed. Even with such a heavy shell on its back, it moved with incredible speed. It could even compete with a cheetah in a race, let alone half a turtle.

Its webbed, sharp claws and equally sharp beak gave it considerable combat power. More interestingly, its shell, though naturally formed, could be shed like taking off clothes when needed, to defend or evade danger. And the combat instinct deeply etched into their souls gave them the ability to use this heavy shell for attacks.

The overall evaluation is that the Vulture Turtle is very strong. And the one Lilith brought out was particularly strong. The shell on its back alone had a diameter of several meters, meaning it was at least several years old.

As soon as Hogg saw it, she fell in love. Landen couldn't understand such aesthetics. After much thought, he could only attribute it to the "turtle complex" that people in the World of Warcraft had. Although this wasn't a sea turtle, it would have to do...

Although the entire process had gone beyond Landen's control and nearly cost him his life, the final outcome was good. Landen had gained immensely!

Landen didn't know how to evaluate Lilith, this witch. She didn't appear in the Lord System, meaning she hadn't joined Landen's faction. Moreover, Landen's life was entirely in her hands; if she were displeased, he could lose his life.

However, from another perspective, having a powerhouse of the Silver domain by his side greatly strengthened Landen. After all, there was a very fragile agreement between them. In times of need, Landen would certainly not miss the opportunity to use this agreement. Since Lilith had spared Landen's life and even stayed by his side for the sake of that thing, it showed how much she valued it.

Besides that, the biggest gain was undoubtedly the random chest awarded for completing the quest.

Lilith had at least Mid-tier Silver strength, so it was no wonder the final reward was Blue instead of the first-tier Green.

At this moment, the chest was in Landen's hands. Landen sat on his exclusive swivel chair, having sent everyone else, including Hogg, out. Of course, Lilith was "invited" out.

The chest was not large, a rectangular prism, only a little over twenty centimeters long, appearing very petite. The lid and the four sides of the chest were exquisitely carved, looking like paintings or some ancient script that Landen didn't recognize.

Landen raised his hand to pick up the lock on the chest, curiously wondering where the key was. As soon as his finger touched the lock, it melted away like snow meeting water.

Landen had anticipated such a situation. With a system in place, he wouldn't be surprised by any magical item.

Opening the chest, a bracelet lay quietly inside.

The bracelet was made of an unknown metal, its body a burnished copper yellow, yet imbued with faint, blood-red threads like meridians. The overall craftsmanship of the bracelet was not exquisite but possessed a wild, primitive beauty.

Landen picked up the bracelet, and a string of data immediately appeared before his eyes.

[Bracer of Power]

[Type: Wrist Accessory, Unique Equipment]

[Quality: Fine? Blue]

[Effects: Strength+, Constitution+, Agility+, Intelligence+, Willpower+, Attack Bonus Damage+]

[Description: Bracers are a common choice for enhancing defense and extending lifespan.]

[Usage Requirements: None]

[Special Note: This item is a crafting material for other items. If not used, please do not discard it carelessly.]

Landen fiddled with the Bracer of Power, shrugging subconsciously, "So, last time it was World of Warcraft, and this time it's Dota? But aren't the stats of this Bracer of Power a bit too overpowered?"

All stats+, an additional Strength+, for ordinary races and professions, such attributes would require at least level 5 to obtain. For Landen's profession, Dark Elf, especially the most common Sword Dancer among male Dark Elves, obtaining such stat bonuses would require leveling up a full 10 levels.

Furthermore, no amount of leveling up could grant the Attack Bonus Damage+ attribute. That attribute was usually attached to weapons. For weapons of the same type, an additional bonus damage of +10 would increase their value several times over. This point alone was enough to show the rarity of this attribute.

And these attributes appeared on a basic crafting item from Dota. Landen could hardly imagine that if this bracer could be further crafted into a Drum of Resilience, as in that game, he couldn't even fathom how powerful the stats would be.

Moreover, a Bracer of Power with such powerful attributes was only Blue quality. Then...

What about a Holy Sword?

An Artifact?

Landen began to fantasize about wielding a Holy Sword and slaughtering his enemies...

He put it on his wrist, took it off, put it on again, took it off again, put it on again...

Landen, who was generally decisive, spent over ten minutes this time, looking at the Bracer of Power with extreme indecision.

Then, he finally took it off his wrist and, at the same time, called Hogg in.

"Hand over your hand!"

"Oh."

"Not both, just one hand. The one you don't use as often."

"Oh."

Click~

"Wow, what is this?" Only at this moment did this Beast-eared Cutie show behavior befitting her appearance and age. Looking at the Bracer of Power fitting perfectly on her wrist, the girl's mouth hung wide open, revealing two small, sharp, cute fangs.

"How does it feel?"

"I feel... my body is full of power!"

Hogg waved her hand in surprise, Slam!

The most luxurious piece of furniture in the bunker besides Landen's bed, Landen's desk, met its fate. The corner of the hard wooden desk was as easily sliced off as a piece of tofu under Hogg's claws
