Lucky Coin (Seventh Update)
Arendelle, Land of Ice and Snow.
Princess Anna stood atop the castle, her beautiful figure overlooking the city. The temperature was beginning to rise, and the snow showed signs of melting. Arendelle was as bustling and prosperous as ever, but a tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated the Imperial Palace. This was unprecedented, yet now the entire castle was under heavy guard.
Because the Princess left.
If the Princess were still in Arendelle, it wouldn't matter if the entire Imperial Palace were Guard. But now that the Princess has left, the Imperial Palace's safety will require Guard. In fact, no one expected the Princess to leave so suddenly; even Princess Anna didn't expect that her Elder Sister would disappear without a trace after giving her a few simple instructions.
Nobody knows where she went!
She may no longer be in this world, but has gone to some place they don't know.
"My Elder Sister has been gone for three days!"
Princess Anna gazed at the distant harbor, then turned to look at the Captain of the Maids behind her, and said softly, "I wonder where my Elder Sister went. Why did she leave in such a hurry this time?"
The Captain of the Maids behind her didn't reply, but whispered, "Her Majesty the Queen's sudden departure must be for something important. Your Highness, there's no need to worry too much. After all, there are very few people in this world who can threaten Her Majesty the Queen!"
Princess Anna nodded gently and said slowly, "I know."
"I just miss my Elder Sister a little. I used to think that the person I missed the most was him, but after Elder Sister left, I realized that the person I cared about the most was still Elder Sister. When she was around, I felt very relaxed, as if I didn't care about anything. No matter what I did wrong, Elder Sister would take care of it for me. But now that she's suddenly gone, so many things are almost suffocating me. I'm worried that I'll do something wrong and make a mess of Arendelle."
The Captain of the Maids glanced at her and said softly, "Princess Anna has actually been doing very well."
Tap tap tap.
Just as she finished speaking, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside, followed by a panting voice saying, "It's bad, Your Highness! The pirates from Iceland seem to be making some unusual moves!"
"And the fleet from the Southern Islands also seems to have ulterior motives. They appear to be colluding and approaching our waters at the same time!"
Snap!
It sounded like something had hit the ground and shattered.
Then came a series of hurried footsteps, and soon several generals in full armor entered the Imperial Palace. About fifteen minutes later, the Court Wizard of Arendelle also gathered, and the Ice Witch entered the Imperial Palace hall one by one, seemingly arguing about something.
The Guard outside would occasionally eavesdrop.
Although he didn't understand much of what was said, and didn't hear the whole story, he sensed one thing: war seemed to be brewing in Arendelle.
It's been a full twenty years!
Since the birth of the Princess, no war has ever occurred in Arendelle.
The Princess has only just left, and the shadow of war is already looming.
This makes one feel uneasy!
Soren stood on the deck, gazing at the sea.
After a while, he took out a Gold Coin from his pocket and played with it. The Gold Coin weighed about the same as a regular Gold Daler. However, the design on it was different, as it depicted not the Goddess of Wealth but the ancient Goddess of Luck. As for the mysterious Rune on the back of the Gold Coin, Soren didn't recognize them at all. As a Wizard, he was far too unprofessional. He was only a dabbler in many things and simply didn't have enough time to accumulate knowledge.
However, Soren wasn't entirely without options.
He actually had an even simpler way to unlock the secret of the Gold Coin, but it would have cost him a little more.
"Pay 7000 Slaughter Experience points!..."
Soren knew from the beginning that the Gold Coin seemed to possess some kind of sealed power, but he was reluctant to give up so much Slaughter Experience. However, after careful consideration, he decided to pay for the Slaughter Experience anyway, as it should be a Legendary Tier special item. When Soren first touched it, he felt a kind of electric current, and he didn't know if it was related to the ' Blessing of the Goddess of Misfortune ' he possessed.
After all, the current Goddess of Fortune and Goddess of Misfortune originated from the corpse of the Goddess of Luck.
A faint glimmer of light appeared.
The Gold Coin in Soren's palm seemed to have shed a layer of mist, emitting a strange golden light before gradually returning to calm.
Item type: Lucky Coin (No. 3)
Item Tier: [Tier 3 Legendary Item]
Item Description: This is a very special Lucky Coin. Legend has it that it was originally created by the Goddess of Luck, and carries Goddess of Luck blessing, bringing good luck to its owner. There are 12 of these Gold Coin in total, and it is said that collecting all Gold Coin will reveal an even more astonishing secret. However, it seems that no one has ever collected all of these Lucky Coin Lucky Coin; only one or two occasionally appear, ultimately being obtained by other epic heroes.
These Lucky Coin seem to have some special connection with the legendary [Fate Card]. It seems that the legendary Archmage also extended their research into the mysterious realm of luck.
Equipment requirements: None.
Equipment Effect: [Heroic Luck], while in possession of this Gold Coin, any owner will receive the Feat Lucky Coin, Heroic Luck the owner 1 point of Luck permanently upon triggering any judgment—whether it be an attack, Dodge, hit, Saving Throw, Diplomacy, or any other area.
[Note: Legend has it that the Goddess of Fortune and Goddess of Misfortune are also searching for these Gold Coin. Giving them to the priests of the two goddesses will earn you their reward.]
Lucky Coin.
This document shows that it was identified after Soren broke the seal.
It seems to be a Legendary Item that doesn't significantly boost combat power, but its effects appear quite remarkable. In its simplest terms, this Lucky Coin provides a special 'Luck +1' effect. This luck bonus applies to everything—attacks, Dodge, Saving Throw, etc.—granting an extra point of luck. You might suddenly hit an enemy you couldn't Central Plains combat, or easily avoid an attack you couldn't dodge by tripping.
Who knows what luck is?
From a personal perspective, Soren think it should still be quite useful.
It's unclear whether the effects of these Lucky Coin can be stacked, since there are a total of 12 Lucky Coin according to the description. If the effects of these Lucky Coin can be stacked, then collecting them all would result in an additional 12 points of luck bonus.
This is a truly terrifying thing!
You could say he's incredibly lucky, a born protagonist, finding money wherever he goes, getting whatever he wants, and even randomly slashing at enemies who just happen to run into him.
It seems that only Deity who controls luck could elevate someone's fortune to such an extent throughout history.
"Based on past data, 2 points of Strength provide a 1-point attack bonus, 2 points of Agility provide a 1-point Dodge bonus, and 2 points of Constitution provide a 1-point resilience bonus. Following this calculation, all assessments would grant a 1-point luck bonus, making the actual conversion quite remarkable!"
Strength, agility, Constitution, perception, intelligence, charisma.
All six attributes affect the judgment effect. If we convert it this way, it's equivalent to receiving a judgment bonus of 12 attribute points.
Thinking about it carefully, the effect is quite amazing!
Soren toyed with the Lucky Coin in his hand for a moment, then carefully put it away. It seemed that both the Goddess of Fortune and the Goddess of Misfortune wanted this thing, and who knew what secret it held.
the next day.
Soren then arrived at Shipwreck Bay. Things weren't as complicated here as in Port Tyler. He came mainly to discuss the Slave Trade. There were too many Slave among the native inhabitants of the Overseas Islands. These natives were untamed and didn't know much about farming. If he wanted to expand and grow stronger, Slave from the mainland would definitely be more useful, since most of the Slave from the mainland were skilled in farming.
That is, meticulous farming.
The situation on the mainland has become increasingly chaotic recently. Many nobles and powerful families have taken advantage of the chaos to plunder and seize land, turning many Commoner originally owned land into the proletariat. Some have even been Slave. The Slave market on the South Coast is booming, with people selling themselves into slavery almost every day. In addition, the price of grain seems to have risen by nearly 50%. Many people have sensed something is wrong and are either frantically buying grain or stopping selling grain to hoard goods.
The price of even the most basic food items has increased by half, so the impact on the poorer classes is even greater.
Especially now, when there's a shortage of skilled workers!
Soren kept all these changes in mind, but he wasn't concerned about the food situation at all. He knew that food prices would rise as the Time of Troubles approached, so he had bought up a lot of food supplies in advance. The large-scale food transactions in Port Tyler some time ago were all bought by Soren's men, and he currently had enough food to last for a long time. After giving instructions about the Slave Trade, Soren continued his journey North by sea.
However, to his surprise and somewhat amusement, because he had brought many gifts for Goria on his trip to the North, and because of the assassination attempt by the Legendary Assassin, Soren was very careful not to reveal his identity when he went out.
Then he got robbed!
The pirates who wanted to rob them were the Northland Pirate, a fierce but poorly organized group of pirates.
The most formidable pirates in the North were in Iceland.
What Soren encountered were minor skirmishes, because the core of the North maritime Trade routes was Arendelle, which was the truly lucrative route.
