chapter 13 treasure

The light in the forest gradually dimmed, and dark red blood flowed freely. Among the broken limbs and bones on the ground, only one person stood with his sword in hand, and the fishy smell lingered in the sky for a long time.

After killing the magic apprentice, Rhodes used his remaining strength to clear away the few undead creatures on the battlefield.

Without giving himself any time to rest, after killing all the undead creatures, Rhodes began to clean the battlefield and count the spoils obtained this time.

During the previous battle, Rhodes did not see the undead creatures carrying anything similar to luggage, so Rhodes focused his search on the apprentice's body.

The mana forcefully exploded inside the body, and the apprentice's body after death was riddled with holes. It seemed that the body parts could be easily separated by just pulling hard.

This also made Rhodes sigh that the heroic corpse was damaged like this. If it hadn't gone through this kind of transformation, this heroic corpse might have many uses.

If a hero-level corpse is used to transform into an undead creature, it will have an inherent advantage over ordinary undead creatures. After going through some rituals, he is qualified to transform into a death knight.

In the production of some powerful treasures, the corpses of heroes are also needed. The person who makes the treasure doesn't care whether the hero's body comes from a human race or a foreign race.

Therefore, hero-level corpses are of high value. Even if the Freelance Chamber of Commerce explicitly does not accept hero-level corpses, the price on the black market has remained high.

Of course, living heroes are more expensive.

What makes Rhodes a little regretful is that the apprentice-level corpse is so damaged that basically all subsequent additional values ​​are gone, and even undead creatures cannot be transformed.

While searching the apprentice's body, Rhodes found a pendant in his clothes. The pendant was soaked with some blood, giving Rhodes a strange feeling, and he held it in his hand. Then he found an ordinary ring on his bloody finger. If Rhodes hadn't paid special attention to this place based on past experience, he might have ignored it.

Apprentice-level necromancers are still having trouble obtaining gold coins, and it is difficult to say that they should spend their attention on such decorations, whether it is a pendant or a ring.

Holding the ring, Rhodes made some attempts. Feeling that his mana tended to flow into it, Rhodes knew that he had found the right one. It was a space ring.

Space rings are expensive, far beyond what the apprentice level can afford. Rhodes guessed that the Necromancer Apprentice obtained the gold coins after selling the captured heroes. This also shows that the hero he wants to rescue is in a safe place for the time being.

Rhodes recalled that opening a space ring generally requires 10 mana points. After that, even if the space ring is lost, no one else can open it and use it until the mana injector dies.

After injecting all the remaining mana into the space ring, Rhodes felt it, but there was no response from the space ring. Since the current mana value did not meet the minimum standard for opening the space ring, Rhodes didn't care about it and just put it away.

According to his habit of holding weapons with his right hand, in order to prevent the ring from affecting the weapon during battle, Rhodes wore the space ring on his left index finger.

Then, Rhodes began to examine the pendant. The pendant was in the shape of a rhombus, with layers of yellowed and black cloth on the outside, now stained red with blood, and a hard object wrapped inside.

Unable to judge its function from its appearance, Rhodes looked at the system log.

Through the system log, Rhodes learned that the pendant was a hero-level pendant treasure. Pendant treasures usually come with some special bonuses.

Various bonus effects attached to the pendant may exist. The most practical effect is to increase the mana recovery per hour. The attributes attached generally have nothing to do with direct strength in combat.

A player can equip up to three pendants at the same time. When the number of pendants exceeds three, the pendant worn last cannot have special effects and can only be used as a decoration.

Rhodes recalled that when three pendants are equipped at the same time, an achievement can be obtained.

After checking the properties of the pendant, just when Rhodes was about to close the system log, he noticed an inconspicuous place in the system log, which was the name of the original owner of the pendant.

"Elott..."

Rhodes had heard of this name in his previous life.

The hero Airot was active in the first few expansion packs of the game, and especially shined in the Death Shadow expansion pack.

The origin of Eliot is a mystery. No one knows his life experience. The earliest records about him can only be traced back to the Black Crow Necromancy Academy in Dia. He joined the battlefield as a necromancer, and it didn't take long for him to become one of the powerful undead lords at the time with his superb spells and ruthless methods. He later disappeared when he had a premonition that the entire campaign was going to fail.

The information from the previous game flashed through Rhodes' mind, and he took a deep look at the mangled apprentice's body on the ground.

The hero who was destined to achieve great things was killed by himself before he could grow up. He had more or less changed the plot trend in the game.

In other words, the plots that happened in the previous game will generally remain unchanged, but they will not be reproduced exactly the same. My gaming experience in my previous life can only be used as a reference, rather than completely believed. In the future, when dealing with some tasks, you will need more of your own judgment.

Looking at the pendant in his hand, Rhodes had some thoughts.

The bloodline perception attribute added by the pendant is of little use to ordinary people, but it is different for Rhodes who has a soul mission. Bloodline perception is an attribute that Rhodes needs to use.

Before, Rhodes was still worried about how to find traces of his sister Rowling. After obtaining this pendant, Rhodes can sense as long as Rowling appears within a certain range around Rhodes.

Rhodes put on the pendant. Bloodline perception needs to be effective within a certain range. Wearing the pendant did not make Rhodes feel anything.

Since Ellot's other items are stored in the space ring, Rhodes cannot open it with his current mana. He can only wait until his mana increases before trying again.

It's getting dark.

Perhaps it was due to the cover of the trees in the forest, or perhaps it was due to his full concentration in the battle. Rhodes didn't notice at all when he was fighting the magic apprentice. After Rhodes finished counting, he realized that it was difficult to see. When he looked up, the sky had turned dark.

Due to the fishy smell all around and the dim light inside the tomb, Rhodes returned to the tree trunk where he was observing the apprentice, preparing to meditate in order to get enough mana to activate the space ring.
