  Chapter 13 treasure

The rays of light in the woods are fading, and the dark red blood flows freely. Among the broken limbs and bones on the ground, only one person stood with a sword, and the fishy smell floating in the sky lingered for a long time.

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

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

During the previous battle, Rhodes did not see the undead creature carrying something similar to a bag, so Rhodes focused his search on the apprentice's corpse.

The mana forcibly exploded inside the body, and the apprentice's corpse was riddled with holes.

This also made Rhodes sigh, the heroic corpse was so damaged. If it hadn't undergone this kind of transformation, this heroic corpse would probably have a lot of uses.

Heroic corpses, if used to transform into undead creatures, have an advantage over ordinary undead creatures on Innate. After some ceremony, it is more qualified to transform into Death Knight.

The corpses of heroes are also used in the production of some powerful treasures. The people who make the treasure don't care whether the hero's corpse comes from Human Race or an alien.

Therefore, hero-level corpses have high value. Even though the Freelance Chamber of Commerce on the surface does not accept heroic corpses, prices in the black market have remained high.

Of course, living heroes are more expensive.

It is a pity for Rhodes that the apprentice-level corpse is damaged in such a way that basically the subsequent series of additional values ​​are gone, and even the undead creatures cannot be transformed.

In the process of searching for the apprentice's body, Rhodes found a pendant in his clothes. The pendant was soaked with some blood, giving Rhodes a strange feeling. Rhodes held it in his hand. inside. Then on his bloody finger he found a flat ring that might have been overlooked if Rhodes hadn't paid attention to the spot based on past experience.

The apprentice-level undead mage is still struggling to get gold coins, so it's hard to say that he spends his time on this kind of decoration, whether it's a pendant or a ring.

Holding the ring, Rhodes tried it out. Feeling that his mana had a tendency to flow into it, Rhodes knew he had found the right one. This was a space ring.

The space ring is expensive, far beyond what an apprentice level can afford. Rhodes speculates that the undead mage apprentice is the gold coin obtained after selling the captured hero. This also shows that the hero he wants to rescue is temporarily in a safe place.

Rhodes recalls that it usually takes 10 mana to open the space ring. Even if the space ring is lost after that, no one else can open it until the mana infuser dies.

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 does not meet the minimum standard to open the space ring, Rhodes ignored it and just put it away.

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

Then Rhodes began examining the pendant. The pendant is in the shape of a diamond, with layers of yellow and black cloth on the outside, which has been blood dyed red at this time, and a hard object is wrapped inside.

Rhodes looked towards the system log as it was impossible to tell what it was doing from the outside.

…………

[Elliot's thoughts]

Quality: treasure

Type: Pendant

Equipment requirements: none

Basic attribute: bloodline perception +3

Evaluation: The things that entrust the hero's will will undergo incredible changes.

Whether you are the angel of the church, the ancient Spiritual God, or the evil spirit of hell, or the evil dragon of the abyss, please take away my thoughts, so that I will no longer doubt or be hesitant. ——Elliot

…………

Through the system log, Rhodes knew that this pendant is a hero-level pendant class treasure. The pendant class treasure usually comes with some special bonuses.

Various bonus effects attached to the pendant may exist, and the most practical effect is to increase the mana recovery per hour. The attached attributes 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 last pendant worn cannot have special effects and can only be used as decorations.

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

Checked the attribute of the pendant. When Rhodes was about to close the system log, Rhodes noticed an unremarkable place in the system log, which was the name of the original owner of the pendant.

"Elliot..."

Rhodes had heard of this name in a previous life.

The hero Elliot has been active in the game's first few expansions, especially in the Shadow of Death expansion.

The origin of Elliot is a mystery, no one knows his origin, the earliest records about him can only be traced back to Dia's Dark Raven undead spell Academy. He joined the battlefield as an undead mage, and soon became one of the powerful undead lords at that time with his superb spell and very ruthless means, and then disappeared when he had a premonition that the whole battle was going to fail.

The data from the previous game flashed in Rhodes' mind, and Rhodes took a deep look at the tattered apprentice's corpse on the ground.

The hero who is destined to do something is killed by himself before he grows up, and he has more or less changed the plot trend in the game.

In other words, the plot that happened in the game in the previous life will generally not change, but it will not reproduce exactly the same. The game experience of one's previous life can only be used as a reference, and cannot be 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 not very useful for ordinary people, but it is different for Rhodes who have soul tasks. Bloodline perception is the attribute that Rhodes needs to use.

Before Rhodes was still worrying about how to find the trace of younger sister Rowlin. After obtaining this pendant, Rhodes can perceive as long as Rowlin appears within a certain range around Rhodes.

Rhodes puts the pendant on. Bloodline sense needs to be within a certain range to work, and wearing the pendant didn't make Rhodes feel anything.

Because Elliot's other items are stored in the space ring, Rhodes can't open it with the current mana value, so he can only try it after the mana value increases.

It was getting dark.

Maybe it was because of the trees in the forest blocking it, or maybe it was the concentrated attention completely during the battle. Rhodes didn't notice it at all when fighting the magic apprentice. It wasn't until Rhodes finished his inventory that he found it difficult to see. When he looked up, the sky had turned dark.

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