What kind of Saint-level Sealed Artifact do I want to choose? Derrick Berg subconsciously examined his own needs.
Because the " The Sun " pathway has a certain advantage against Monster in the dark, and he also possesses " Roar of the God of Thunder," he doesn't crave attack or support-related Sealed Artifact. However, his experience of being beaten up while making friends made him subconsciously want a magical item that could provide strong defense.
In a flash, Derrick suddenly realized that the essence of the problem was not what kind of holy-level Sealed Artifact he wanted, but which holy-level Sealed Artifact he could use to exchange for the Creator's Cross from Mr. " The Fool ".
He hesitated for a moment, then asked frankly:
"Your Excellency, what are your comments?"
Colin glanced at him, left his original spot, walked slowly to the window, turned around and said:
There are four Sealed Artifact that are relatively suitable for you.
"The first item is called the ' Sword of Dawn Silver,' which was left behind by an elder who died 1,300 years ago."
"By wielding this straight sword, one can conceal one's malice and certain actions, effectively interfere with Divination and prophecy, gain exaggerated power, and bring the dawn of resistance against evil and Depravity to the surrounding area."
"It can also unleash a highly destructive Storm of Light, creating an invisible and solid defensive wall around the wielder. Whenever it connects with the earth, its protective power will be unshakeable."
"At the top of its hilt is a One-Eyed, giant mouth, a human head statue with living characteristics. Feeding this statue with corresponding herbs, essential oils, and potions will cause the ' Sword of Dawn Silver ' to produce different effects, such as Lightning Strike, Freezing, Purification, burning, rotting, and exorcism."
"This sword has strict conditions for use. Anyone under 180 centimeters tall cannot lift it, and anyone under 200 centimeters cannot unleash its full power. In addition, the One-Eyed, giant-mouthed human head statue at the top of the hilt is very talkative and always chattering. If the wielder does not respond to it, the ' Sword of Dawn Silver ' may suddenly give up resistance at a crucial moment and even attack its master. If the wielder is willing to talk to that human head statue, he will teeter on the edge of madness."
"This is exactly what I wanted, Sealed Artifact that excels in defense..." Derrick muttered to himself, not interrupting the chief's explanation, and quietly listening as he continued to describe the Sealed Artifact:
"The second item is the ' Twilight Mask,' which comes from the previous chief. It is a mask made from a skull that can conceal malice, thoughts, and behavioral tendencies, making the wearer appear like a mindless dead person."
"Once you put on this mask, you will have the power of a true Giant and the authority to rule over the dead. Any living being that makes eye contact with the wearer will die instantly. Even if it possesses divinity, it will suffer severe damage. Even without eye contact, any target that the wearer takes into their eyes will slowly wither away, as if crossing a river of death inch by inch."
"The person who wears this mask can also create a terrible ' Twilight Storm,' and anything that comes into contact with its dim light will decay, rot, wither, die, and lose its vitality."
Most attacks, except for Purification, are ineffective against those wearing the ' Twilight Mask,' just as no one can kill someone who is already dead.
"This ' Twilight Mask ' is extremely powerful, but also extremely dangerous. Even if it does nothing, just by being placed there, people around it will die one after another, inexplicably and suddenly. Therefore, there must be a proper way to seal it..."
"No matter who it is, once they put on this mask, they will constantly hear Scream and roars that seem to come from the depths of the Underworld. This is a mental attack that can drive people mad and cause them to lose their minds. Moreover, once they wear this mask for more than five minutes, they will irreversibly become its slave."
This Sealed Artifact is almost unusable. Although powerful, it can only seal... uh... Only a great being like Mr. The Fool can ignore its negative effects... Derrick opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Colin Iliad recalled the information and continued:
"The third item is called the ' Staff of Life '. It can drive supernatural beings with low Wisdom to reduce their madness for a short period of time. It can complete the ultimate ' Life Refinement ' with incomplete spirits and various materials. This can create ordinary humans who can exist for a long time, or create different Puppet for combat and various affairs, including stone golems, earth golems, and steel golems."
"Any creature struck by this cane will have an increased tendency toward madness and loss of control, and its body will also have a certain probability of mutating, growing things such as watermelons, mushrooms, and wheat. Of course, these are inedible and will cause pollution."
"Any creature touched by the staff, no matter how severe its injury, will be healed, except for those that have begun to lose control."
"This walking stick will fill the surrounding area with life, and both plants and animals will grow vigorously and reproduce rapidly. Unfortunately, it has no effect on our cursed land."
"People who carry the ' Staff of Life ' have a significant chance of experiencing physical mutations. The longer they carry it, the higher the probability. This can lead to the growth of extra organs or the replacement of certain parts of the body by various plants."
It sounded eerie... Derrick felt a sudden surge of fear, and finally, unable to contain himself, he asked:
What is the fourth Sealed Artifact?
"It came from a runaway Demon I hunted down; I called it ' The Fallen Flute '."
"This is a seemingly ordinary silver flute, but once someone plays it, all life around it will inevitably fall into a trance. Their anger, sadness, pain, Greed, vanity, Pride, melancholy and other emotions and desires will rapidly expand, either igniting their minds, destroying their reason, or leading to a loss of control."
"Near this ' Fallen Flute,' all living beings, except for the holder, will have their thinking abilities significantly reduced and will be prone to making mistakes."
"At the same time, flute players will be exceptionally sensitive to danger, sometimes even able to foresee things that may threaten their lives one or two days in advance."
"Where this ' Fallen Flute ' resides, people's hearts will gradually Depravity, various desires will dominate, beliefs will be discarded, and the holder will gradually become cold-hearted, unable to regain normal emotions. The more often it is used, the longer it is carried, and the deeper the degeneration. This is likely to contradict the original method or the corresponding role Acting, leading to an increased risk of losing control."
After recounting the fourth Sealed Artifact, Colin Iliad's Blue Eyes, seemingly brimming with stories, shifted as he looked at Derrick and said:
What are your thoughts?
"... I need some time to think," Derrick replied with considerable practiced ease.
"Indeed, this is a very important matter for you, and you cannot make a hasty decision." Colin nodded slightly. "We will be heading to the Afternoon Town camp in three days. Tell me your answer before then, and allow time for yourself to familiarize yourself with the Sealed Artifact."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Derrick bowed respectfully and left the room where the chief was.
He didn't rush home. He prayed to Mr. The Fool and planned to go to the training ground first to hone his various " The Sun " domain divine arts.
This is a habit etched deep in the blood of everyone in City of Silver; only the self-disciplined and hardworking can survive longer on this desolate and dark land.
In a dark alleyway in the Backlund Bridge Area.
Hugh encountered the Military Intelligence Section 9 agent with the gold mask who clearly showed him goodwill once again.
"The ' Judge ' Potion recipe might still be a while away," the man in the golden mask said.
This is because, although the investigation into Hugh was not continued, it was not declared over either.
Hugh pursed her lips, nodded, and said as if she had finally made up her mind:
I don't want that formula anymore.
"You... gave up?" the man in the golden mask asked, somewhat surprised but unable to hide his joy.
Hugh didn't answer directly, but glanced to the side and said:
"I'll exchange all my accumulated merits for gold pounds."
After hearing her answer, the man in the golden mask nodded with satisfaction:
"It's best that you can figure it out."
"Let bygones be bygones. You, your mother, and your brother will have a brand new and wonderful future."
"Well, if you convert your accumulated merits into gold pounds, it's about 2,000 pounds. I'll try to get you a little more. After that, you can continue to work as an external staff member for Military Intelligence Section 9. Having an official status is very useful for a wild Beyonder."
After a few seconds of silence, Xiu's lips moved slightly as he said:
"Thanks."
She could clearly sense the kindness of the person in front of her, so her thanks just now came from the bottom of her heart.
However, she wouldn't give up. The reason she chose the gold pound was because she had already reserved the " Judge " Potion recipe from "The World" Gehrman Sparrow. This mad adventurer also claimed to have the " Punisher Knight " Potion recipe.
At the same time, this apparent surrender could effectively dispel Military Intelligence Section 9's suspicions.
After briefly explaining the progress of the previous commissions, Hugh bid farewell to the man in the golden mask and left the alley.
On Tuesday morning, Fors once again set out early and arrived at the Hat Trick Inn in the Cherwood Borough, where he met his teacher Dorian Gray.
"These are the precautions for exploring the Spirit World, and this is a portrait of Botis." Dorian covered his mouth with his hand, yawned, and then handed a thick stack of papers to Fors.
Fors didn't rush to read the materials; he immediately turned his gaze to the portrait.
Above was a man in black robes who looked to be under forty. His brown hair was slightly curly, yet it gave him an unusually firm appearance. His dark eyes were so deep that they seemed to hold countless things within them.
This is the " Saint of Secrets "... Fors rubbed his fingers together and used his " Trickmaster " ability to burn the portrait.
"Good, very cautious." Dorian nodded approvingly.
He then picked up his suitcase and said to Fors:
"I need to go back to Pritz Harbor; staying in Backlund for too long will arouse suspicion."
Fors knew that the situation in Backlund was tense recently and wished her teacher would leave as soon as possible, so she did not try to stop him and watched him leave the room.
Then, using the " Door Opening," she made her way to the alley behind the hotel.
She had just figured out her direction and turned into a street when she suddenly saw a person wearing a black trench coat walking towards her.
The man glanced at her and then looked away, while Fors's back muscles suddenly tensed.
Her eyes already reflected the other person's image:
He was not yet forty, with slightly curly brown hair that seemed unusually strong, and deep, dark eyes that appeared to hold countless secrets.
