Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 170: Each Takes What It Needs (2)
In order to avoid giving people a reason to criticize, the two artifacts, "Death Control" and "Eye of Glory", which have been missing for quite some time, are naturally not convenient to "appear" at the same time. There must be a "time difference" to "dilute" the relationship between the owners of the two artifacts, at least to prevent others from seeing through the "tacit understanding" at a glance. A little more time can lead to countless possibilities, and let those hostile people speculate. As long as they can't find substantial evidence, there is nothing they can do to us, and we can only accept this fact.
From the perspective of the transaction itself, "Death Control" and "Eye of Glory" are artifacts of the same level, and they were exchanged at equal value. Neither Real Madrid nor I gained any advantage. However, because I was able to put together a pair of artifact gloves with additional attributes, I actually gained a greater benefit from it. Therefore, after some negotiations, we had to make concessions on the "appearance" time of each artifact, allowing "Eye of Glory" to appear first and become the eighth artifact in "Tianxia".
After all the relevant matters were settled and there were no more disputes, they began to exchange the artifacts they had intercepted. On both sides of the three-meter-long "trading platform" in the center of the room, they chose the "barter" trading mode, put the items to be traded into the "storage box", entered the relevant transaction information, confirmed that it was correct, and clicked the "confirm" button together. After a flash of white light, the "Death Control" and the "Eye of Glory" exchanged positions and returned to their respective owners, completing the transaction safely. I took out the "Death Control" from the "storage box" and carefully observed and touched it. No matter the shape, texture, or color, it was almost exactly the same as the "Death Touch" on my left hand. Unfortunately, according to the setting of "Tianxia", artifact-level props and equipment have the feature of "automatic hiding". Unless you are the owner of the artifact, or have the permission of the artifact owner, you can't view the attributes of the artifact at all. The only thing that can be displayed is the level and name. Therefore, before I went through the "blood recognition" procedure and officially took over the "Death Control" for my own use, I could only worry in vain, but had no way of knowing the specific functions of the "Death Control".
After parting with Real Madrid, the system issued an announcement that day that the priest of light Olympia had obtained the eighth artifact in "Tianxia", "Eye of Glory", which immediately set off a sensation. In the eyes of players who did not know the details, this way, the professional players of light had three artifacts of light, and the momentum suddenly overshadowed our "Resistance Alliance". The originally not-so-famous cardinal Olympia, with the prestige of obtaining the artifact, under the hype of some "interested people", many previously unknown "glorious deeds" were quickly discovered, all showing that Olympia absolutely has the strength that is not inferior to the Holy Heaven. In addition, "Tian Media" followed the usual special interviews and reports on the artifact winners. In just a day or two, he jumped into the ranks of top players and became a strong man of the same level who can be compared with the Supreme Honor and the Holy Heaven. I don't know what , or what price he paid, so that he was lucky enough to win the qualification to become the owner of the "Eye of Glory".
According to the original agreement, six days later, the enthusiasm for Olympia's acquisition of the artifact "Eye of Glory" had just subsided a little, and I, who had been impatient for a long time, began to "drip blood to recognize the master" and officially became the owner of "Death Control". After the system announcement, it caused a greater sensation. Not only did it equalize the disadvantage in the number of artifacts with the light professional players and revive the prestige of the dark camp, but I also became the only owner of two artifacts in "Tianxia" so far. With the series of outstanding achievements I have made before, I am no longer just "the world's number one necromancer". More players think that I have the strength to challenge the highest honor and replace it as "the world's number one master". In addition, Long Piaopiao also mentioned in the special report published by "Tian Media" that "Death Control" is a right-hand glove. I have gathered a pair of artifact gloves, which will be able to play a greater role, which has further boosted my prestige. With the rising tide, the "Resistance Alliance" and especially the "United Alliance" have benefited a lot. If I had not participated in the activities of the "Resistance Alliance" ineffectively, my performance was unsatisfactory, my achievements were insufficient, and I had not been interested in it, and lacked the necessary planning and means, I would have had a great chance of setting up my own faction and becoming another force capable of competing with Long Xing Tian Xia, Dame Feiying and others.
Of course, these are all later stories. After going through the "Blood Recognition" procedure and becoming the master of the artifact, what I was most concerned about at the time was the properties of "Death Control". I didn't even have the mood to listen to the announcement released by the system. I couldn't wait and began to check the functions of the artifact. Name - "Death Control" (right hand glove); Level - Artifact (Assistance); Properties - The activity area of the undead creatures that can be directly controlled doubled (originally only increased by 75%, because the artifact is complete, it is additionally expanded to 100%); The success rate of "Soul Contract" increased by 25% ("Death Control" itself only increased by 20%, because the artifact is complete, an additional 5% of the "Soul Contract" success rate is added). The special ability, "Return in Wartime", can only be used in the human world, and can only be used on one undead creature summoned from the "Dead Space" at a time (either one's own subordinates or friendly forces), which can obtain the ability to urgently leave and immediately retreat to the "Dead Space" in a combat state, so as to protect some of the non-pet-like undead subordinates summoned by the necromancer from being killed in fierce battles, and to more effectively exert their combat effectiveness in some critical occasions. Of course, it is not completely unlimited. The success rate of returning to the "Dead Space" immediately in a combat state is 50%. The target undead creature that is cast with "Return in Wartime" can try once every 20 seconds, and unless the target undead creature successfully returns to the "Dead Space" or unfortunately dies in battle, the "Return in Wartime" ability cannot be removed midway to replace other targets. Therefore, not only must the target undead creature with the "Return in Wartime" ability be selected, but it must also be cast on the most critical situation first, and there is no guarantee that it will be able to escape successfully.
In addition, because of the complete set of artifacts, the function of the left hand's "Touch of Death" has also been strengthened, which can weaken the opponent's mental resistance or defense skills by 20%, and further enhance the ability to absorb their mental power. It may not play a big role against the overly powerful undead creatures in the "Dead Space", but it can be used against players, especially light professional players who can cast "Purification" and have "Holy Light of Protection" and other abilities to resist "Sperm Absorption|Marrow Devouring", and the role it can play should be more obvious.
