Griffith glanced at the ancient book placed in the lead box. The navy blue paper cover had once been spattered with Aldus's blood, but now there was no trace at all.
"Lin Yuan Collection".
This is the first-level sealed object that Griffith came into contact with in Neopolis. When the pages were not opened, this ancient book seemed to be in no danger. It was an ordinary manuscript that would not cause the slightest anxiety, and it had no scratches or damage.
However, the pages of Linyuanji are filled with depravity and madness. It was from here that Griffith gained knowledge of the resurrection of the dead and the art of controlling the undead. The "Life Refining" and "Black Mud" I just learned also come from it.
Its negative characteristics will cause the holder to continuously lose sanity.
This dangerous sealed artifact once belonged to Milovan Neville, a member of the Arcane Council, and was believed to have been kept in Neopolis during January 1444, during the period when the Deathrattle Order first attempted to resurrect Krista. The cult's attempts were thwarted, and misfortune befell Elodie. There was no news of the theft of "Lin Yuan Collection" at that time, and it would be transferred to Beyeland officials for strict safekeeping later.
How could the Odessa people get it?
The sealed object "Ring of Life" is a ring made of unknown bones, with a small red gemstone on the ring holder.
Demon hunter Anton just obtained this sealed artifact. A simple record was seized with him so that Griffith could learn about it.
The Ring of Life can improve the holder's physique, strength, agility, perception and spirit. The blessings the holder receives are directly related to its own strength; the secret of the terrible "death entanglement" is hidden in the ring.
However, the holder will continue to lose his sanity; once the sealed object is removed, all the previous buffs will disappear. Bearers who have been blessed with powerful blessings will find it difficult to escape the ring's allure. In trying to remove the ring from the test investigator's hand, two support staff had their fingers bitten off and eventually had to kill the deranged investigator.
Its negative characteristics will also cause the holder to continuously lose sanity.
…
The two seized sealed artifacts need to be handed over to the official investigation, and Griffith cannot directly take them for himself.
Except for some extraordinary properties, most of the supplies he captured during the battle in Odessa were taken away by the authorities. The main reason is that the battle is not done by one person. Some of the spoils and harvests must be redistributed and appropriate compensation should be given to those combat units that have not been captured. This is an important rule related to fairness and collaboration, otherwise the units will fail when performing their missions. If you pick and choose, the army is not far away from disintegration.
The second reason is that sealed objects, sacred objects, and enchanted items are all dangerous and may be fatal if used rashly. Proper adjustments and seals are required.
Griffith retains most of the Extraordinary's extraordinary attributes, which are all in hard currency. As the reward for being number one on the list of military exploits, the most powerful trophy, the Lord of the Rings "Kazni's Miracle", was handed over to Griffith after inspection. The ring was examined and found to be not a creation of the Living Weave, but rather a part of the divine power exerted on a long-standing Lord of the Rings. Minos was not able to absorb the Sefirah from it.
After the advent of the evil god in Odessa, spiritual energy from another world seems to have penetrated into the real world through the cracks in the plane, and the mysterious power is increasing. Some powers and sealed objects that were very rare in the past were condensed and separated from the form that could not be embodied in the fabric of life.
Some miserable Beyonders obtained powerful sealed objects that were beyond their ability to bear by chance, but they did not know the risks involved. Soon, they died because they could not control it, or they were bewitched by the ravings and became slaves of the objects, causing destruction in their madness.
In more than a month, such tragedies occurred more than a dozen times, and the most serious one directly destroyed a team of Beyonders. After the officials reacted, they hurriedly took action on the danger level and sealing measures of the mysterious items.
One of the measures is to urgently standardize the classification of various weapons, armor, and jewelry. The Arcane Council has formulated new guidelines to classify different levels of sacred vessels, sealed objects, and magic items, and implement more stringent corresponding strategies.
Depending on the extraordinary characteristics, mysterious items of different levels will show different colors of spiritual brilliance under the identification of magical media. When the power is not released, it can only be viewed by the holder and those with the permission of the holder. If it is carried out in a battle, all parties present will naturally be aware of the power and level of the item.
Item levels are divided according to different colors from bottom to high:
The rippling light green halo is a mysterious item of "ordinary" level. The deep blue light that blooms is the "fine" grade, and the dark golden light that shines above it represents the "rare" quality.
Rare and powerful items have a noble purple brilliance, and their rank is named "Epic". The "legendary" rank represented by the dazzling golden light of the morning sun.
The more powerful the mysterious equipment, the more dangerous it is, and it may even contain a soul with will. After having a simple identification method, the holder can weigh what he should do next.
In addition, there is another level for reference - artifact. The official did not explain the appearance and characteristics of the artifact, but simply informed the Extraordinaries that if anyone is lucky enough to get close to the artifact and does not go crazy under the powerful radiation, then he will naturally know that it is the artifact.
Following this standard, Griffith checked his equipment.
The Eviscerate Dagger and Bolas are green common weapons. The Helm of Dominance and Judgment both appear dark gold. The most powerful ones are the miracles of Bloodthorn and Kazni. The lavender light is dazzling and even frightening.
The Yitian, Hanguang and Minos he looked forward to the most were only shrouded in a blue halo, probably because he did not have enough power to release the power contained within them.
The two newly captured sealed objects both possess an epic purple brilliance. The powerful aura cannot be hidden, and the officials will soon know about it and ask him to hand over the harvest.
However, the characteristics of Minos have given Griffith the new abilities of "Death Coil", "Black Mud" and "Life Refining". Even if he temporarily surrenders the capture, it will not be a loss, and the official will definitely give him corresponding rewards.
Griffith carefully put away the items, thought for a moment, and took out a small box.
The box contains a strange gold coin. The skull in the middle of the gold coins was staring at Griffith silently with empty eye sockets.
This is the only mysterious and extraordinary item left behind by the cultists during the Neopolis Incident. Its holder, Rebecca, a girl of unknown origin, relied on the power of this gold coin to transform into a fleshless skeleton, which greatly restrained Griffith's frost curse.
"Minos," Griffith called, "you said that this gold coin has a sefirot similar to that of the mysterious plant. You once advised me to avoid exploring its secrets. Now, tell me, this coin What is the connection between the gold coin, the sealed object in front of me, and the thread of life in the virtual realm?"
The bone ring responded slowly: "Minos analyzes matter and explores the origin. Combining clues from other sealed objects, Minos determined that this item is contaminated with part of the breath left by the thread of life in the virtual world. It is a clue to find the ancient mystery. ."
This clue must be in the jungles of the south. Griffith put away the gold coins and then asked:
"In other words, before the Deathrattle Order started the ritual in Odessa, their god had already tried to enter the world and left traces."
"It is very likely that the extraordinary power of the 'death' path is the embodiment of its authority and its branch in the real world. It requires a large number of extraordinary characteristics to be generated and combined."
"Are you one of them?"
"Minos is the creation of the hermit after analyzing the origin of this extraordinary characteristic. As long as the principles and structure are mastered, and there is sufficient psychic energy, the mystery can be copied.
"Every high-level sealed object contains clues to the supreme authority. Minos can reorganize it for you. Change it."
…
"Dong dong dong."
There was a rhythmic knock on the door of the commander's cabin. There is still time before the dinner on the Birren Hill, so someone should report on the work.
"Captain, Assault Squad Leader Gil de Ace, requesting a report."
"Please come in." Griffith put away the two sealed items and sat upright behind the desk. The meeting with the assault team leader was scheduled before the battle.
Giles de Es walked into the room and raised his hand to the commander.
"I heard that sailors are a little afraid of you these days?" Griffith asked the trainee knight, "What happened?"
As the chief officer of Storm Squadron, he is also responsible for everyone's ideological work after fighting. This kind of thing should have been handled by the standing officer, Lieutenant Ryan. After the lieutenant died in Odessa, the superiors had not sent a new replacement for a while, so Griffith and the commissioned officers at the second lieutenant level of each squadron could only handle it themselves.
I have to apply for a permanent officer as soon as possible. I spend a lot of time away from the soldiers, which will cause problems... Griffith looked into Jill's eyes, not missing a trace.
During the Odessa incident, Jill and the priests in the squadron unsuspectingly participated in the blessing ceremony hosted by Krista, and their minds may have been contaminated. According to small reports from people like Joshua, Desai and Paxiu, since then, Captain Gil of the Assault Squadron had lost control of his emotions several times; Karen responded that the sailors were afraid of Gil and whispered some frightening things behind his back. Discourse.
"It's nothing, captain, the sailors just misunderstood my work as a paladin because of ignorance and ignorance, just like the barbarians who have never seen iron armor and war horses will worship the knight in horror when they encounter it for the first time," Gill said methodically Said, "I have conducted some occult research in my personal time, all related to the Homemon Watts course. It is not surprising that sailors feel fear because of this. The unknown brings fear, which is very logical."
"What research did you do?"
"Combat buff blessings, summoning of magic familiars, intermediate advent rituals and alchemy experiments, captain," Jill replied helplessly, "you know, they are all commonly used abilities and experiments required by the courses in my path."
Griffith nodded and asked a few more questions. Jill answered them one by one. His logic is clear and accurate, his language is coherent, and he doesn't seem to be mentally disturbed.
I should ask the official to send a full-time Beyonder to check... After Jill left, Griffith was silent for a while. His research on occultism is only half-baked, and he usually lacks attention to the squadron. He really has no confidence in doing this well.
Griffith worried for a while and then started to work again, first sorting out today's combat log, and then preparing for the next intelligence review and tactical review within the squadron.
