through the dark road

Chapter 174 The Phantom in the Sunset
"Then how can we further repair this staff?"

When Mo Bei saw the attributes of this staff, he felt that it was worthless for Perona's consumption of mental power, and then he heard Kane's whispering, and suddenly felt that this was reasonable.A group of big bosses who follow Tal Rasha to tear up the Three Demon Gods with their hands should not take such a thing that even he despises as a treasure.

Then isn't this a growth-type artifact with one sword?He really wanted to ask what the original attributes of this staff were, but he held back immediately.

The charm of a growth artifact lies in its unknown growth!Knowing the upgraded attributes in advance is more painful than being forced to listen to spoilers.Of course, those who like to hear spoilers or like to be tied up may not agree with this metaphor, but it is more or less what it means.

Kane took the staff from his hand, looked at it for a moment, and frowned deeper.

"It doesn't seem to be because the structure of the staff has been damaged, it is very likely that the power in it has been forcibly extracted."

Several people present were all stunned upon hearing this.

Extracting the power from the equipment is simply unheard of, who has such an ability.

"I'm afraid you're not crazy. Is it possible for this kind of thing to happen?" The strange old man Lei Shande said angrily.

"Of course other equipment can't do this, but this Horadric staff is a very special piece of equipment." Kane began to talk without paying attention to the sarcasm in Lysander's tone.

"Back then, Tal Rasha led a group of strong human beings headed by the Seven Heroes to defeat Baal, the King of Destruction, in the depths of the Aranok Desert. However, the soul stone used to seal Baal's source of destruction was broken in the battle, although Absorbed Baal's soul with one of the shards, but couldn't seal it away for long."

"Tal Rasha had no choice but to embed the soul stone into his body, using his body and will as a cage, hoping to imprison Baal for a long time. His own soul was torn apart by the force of backlash on the spot , suffering unimaginable pain."

"The necromancer who was traveling with him collected the soul fragments that were pulled out of his sea of ​​consciousness, thinking that after finding other sealing methods, Tarasha could recover the soul fragments. But we also know the final outcome. I, together with Barr in my body, was sealed in the most secret corner of the ancient tombs, and used magic to hide that space."

"After all, the seal is not completely wiped out. At that time, the strong Horadrim used Tal Rasha's soul fragments as the core to create this staff, so that it would have the ability to find and enter that space, waiting for them to find a way You can find it when Baal is completely destroyed. Tal Rasha is the most powerful mage of the Horadrim family. Even a ray of soul fragments has extremely powerful spiritual energy, so it also endows the staff of Horadric with great power .”

"However, in the following time, the Horadric family not only failed to become stronger and found a way to completely eliminate the demon king, but now there is only one old man left. Although the Horadric staff has been restored, it contains The soul power in it is already negligible. Although it still has a certain guiding ability, it has lost most of the soul power, and this staff is no longer as powerful as it used to be."

"Then... is it still possible to get back that shard of soul?" Mo Bei is naturally concerned about how to make this magical weapon with the spirit of the weapon stronger again. .

"If the shard of soul is not completely wiped out, it may be possible to recover it again. But I think this possibility is too low..." Kane glanced at Mo Bei, and a thought flashed in his mind.This staff is in his hand, at best it is a crutch, let these three young people try to see if they can turn this tiny possibility into reality.

He handed the staff back to Mo Bei seemingly casually, and then said:

"If you take it with you, it still has a weak sensing ability. Maybe when you get close to the soul fragment, it will sense it. But you must be careful, where the soul fragment should also be lurking. danger."

"Then...then let's try our luck!" Mo Bei would not be polite, and directly handed over the staff to Perona. up.

Seeing Perona's drooping eyelids and a somewhat fatigued look, she remembered the purpose here, and immediately asked Kane.

"This cube consumes too much mental and physical energy when using it. Is there something wrong with the way we use it?"

Kane was also looking at the wilted Perona, and said with a smile:
"This is normal. Although the Horadric Cube has many magical functions, it still cannot break the basic rules of this world. Synthesis naturally requires a certain price. The main consumption is actually mental power. In the case of insufficient mental power Only then will a large amount of physical strength be drawn from the user as a supplement. Therefore, the most suitable people to use this cube are mages. For you now, the consumption is a bit high, but when your mental strength becomes stronger, this This kind of consumption may not be a big deal."

When Mo Bei heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He didn't know how long it would take until they were strong enough to use them at will.And by that time, there will be no such thrill of taking off in place.

"Don't be dissatisfied, there is a tool that can quickly consume mental power, and you will soon realize the benefits of it." Lei Shande saw the disappointment on Mo Bei's face, and felt that this kid was too greedy. Wai, also want to use unlimited.

He was so envious that he was about to scratch his head, because he had been trying to synthesize the vitality potion all his life, but the more he experimented, the more he found it impossible. It seemed that the extraordinary potion could not be made from surviving materials at all, but This Horadric Cube can easily do it.

Mo Bei was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood the meaning of Lei Shande's words. The repeated and rapid consumption of mental power, just like the physical training at the beginning, should exercise the mental power, so it is really a powerful side effect. Function.

"That's true, but when you go out to practice, you shouldn't be able to use this thing. So I have a request. When you go out to practice next time, can you leave this thing in the Mage Guild and let us study it. "

Kane sincerely put forward his request, which shocked Mo Bei. Only then did he realize that Kane not only gave them the Horadric Staff, but also completely acquiesced in the current ownership of the Horadric Cube.As a true Horadrim, the legitimate owner of these two things, this old man really doesn't have the slightest bit of selfishness.

Mo Bei was moved and nodded again and again.

"Before we go out, we will definitely send it over!"

His words made Leisander beside him very excited. It seems that he can also try this legendary artifact.
-
When they walked out of the compound of the Mage Guild, it was already dusk outside.The three of them stood and walked on the street, and when they crossed the city wall, they could still see a sliver of the setting sun, which stretched the shadow of the house very long.

There is no obvious seasonal change in Lu Gaoyin, which is almost the same throughout the year.

But at the Rogge camp, it should be midsummer now.

Mo Bei quietly looked at the setting sun in the west, a little lost in thought.

When walking through an alleyway connecting the main road of the city, Mo Bei, in a silent trance, turned his head and glanced in, but saw the other end of the alleyway, and a person just turned his head and looked over.At that moment, he felt that the sunset seemed to have a magical power, which could conjure up what people thought.

He stopped involuntarily and looked at the person at the other end of the alley.

The armor was almost falling apart, with blood stains that could not be wiped off clearly visible in the gaps, stained with a thick layer of wind and sand.The dazzling fiery red hair was tied behind his head, and it was inevitably covered by sand and dust. His face was a little dirty, but the agate-like pupils were still clear and bright.

"I don't know if this girl is going to die after practicing again, why even what she sees in the hallucination is a mess." Mo Bei murmured, hoping that Milor and Perona would wake him up later .

A head wearing a flying eagle helmet like a pheasant's head moved closer to the figure, looking into the alley, the tiredness on his face suddenly turned into surprise.

"Mo Bei!! It's really Mo Bei! Hahahaha! Are you here to pick us up?"

Alvin quickly crossed the alley and gave Mo Bei a big hug.

"Huh???" Mo Bei was completely dumbfounded.
