Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 42: Desire to Win (1)
The crown did not emit the colorful divine light that many players dreamed of. It was obvious that this was not a divine weapon. Fortunately, I did not have high expectations for the result. I just "praised" that Long Kong would not get it cheaply again. If the equipment was still the equipment of the magic knight, he would probably be able to collect a set of holy weapons soon. It was like using my merits and face to seek "benefits" for him. What I expected was just to get one or two holy weapons suitable for the use of the necromancer to increase the upper limit of mental power. The crown made of bones and the faint red, yellow and blue halo radiating from its body clearly indicated its "true identity". Therefore, I did not feel any loss, but breathed a sigh of relief. After working so hard for so long, I was lucky enough to get something. It was not in vain.
As long as it is a holy weapon exclusive to the necromancer, it will generally have the attribute of increasing the upper limit of mental power. The only difference is the amount of increase. I suppressed my excitement and picked up the white bone crown on the ground. I carefully checked its attributes - "Dragon Bone Holy Crown", a high-level holy weapon, increased the upper limit of mental power by 60%, and had the ability of "concentrating the mind to ward off evil spirits". Once activated, it will continue to consume mental power, but the resistance to various negative abnormal states such as poisoning and paralysis will increase by 30%. Well, I finally got what I wanted. I completely eliminated the last bit of worry and immediately put on the "Dragon Bone Holy Crown" on my head, replacing the original thief's broken hat, and threw it to Afeng on the side - although it was just a low-level heavenly weapon that was not worth much, it was also the collective property of the Tongxin League and needed to be "turned in".
Except for the high-level holy artifact "Dragon Bone Holy Crown" and the "Holy Magic Crystal", the other two dropped items are raw materials, not equipment. This is also normal. Generally, when a holy beast is killed, at most two low-level holy artifacts will be dropped. If there are mid-level and high-level holy artifacts, usually only one will be dropped. This is why the holy artifacts in "Tianxia" are so "scarce" at this stage, and the prices have always been high. Otherwise, I would not have been wearing "rags" until today - both thieves and magicians' general equipment, a complete "ragtag army".
Although I'm wearing the "Holy Crown of Dragon Bone", the effect of casting "Summoning the Undead" is far below my expectations - even with an increase of 60% in the upper limit of mental power, I can only just summon an intermediate-level eighth-level Wu Ma or Kitray. I can't even "match" a terrifying ground dragon knight. Even a lower-level eighth-level terrifying flying dragon knight can only summon two at a time. The gap between "ideal and reality" is really too big.
I can't blame myself for being "greedy". Before I received the reward for defeating the "law enforcer", I was able to summon two terrifying ground dragon knights at a time when I was in the state of "blood transformation". After increasing my basic mental power by about 15%, I was able to summon a terrifying flying dragon knight of the eighth level, which jumped more than two levels at once, and even surpassed the "level difference limit" between the seventh and eighth levels in one fell swoop, which surprised me. By analogy, it is said that this time the mental power limit has increased by 60%. Even if I can't summon the ninth-level lower-level Khufu, I think it is enough to summon the eighth-level middle-level Wu Ma and Qi Te Lei at the same time. I didn't expect it to be such a result. I can't help but feel disappointed.
But even though I was very confused, I had no examples to refer to or learn from. Except for me, no other necromancer had the ability to subdue the undead creatures with the strength of level 8, and there was no experience in this regard. In desperation, I contacted Qingwu Feiyang, who was the closest to me in strength, to discuss with her. After combining her actual situation and the relevant information I had, I concluded that the number and especially the level of the undead creatures summoned by "Summoning the Undead" did not only depend on the amount of mental power limit, but also had a close relationship with the basic mental power. It should be a relationship of mutual complementation based on the basic mental power. If the value of the basic mental power was relatively "lagging behind" and could not keep up with the speed of the mental power limit, it would also be impossible to summon too many or too high-level undead creatures. This is probably also a restriction or "protection" of the system on the profession of necromancer, to prevent some players from simply relying on the best equipment that increases the mental power limit to "run rampant", while ignoring the role of the basic attribute value, and "slipping" when completing the promotion task, and refusing to "work hard" to challenge the difficulty of high levels.
In fact, with my current strength as a level 7 necromancer and a level 5 thief, I can summon two level 8 lower-level or one level 8 mid-level undead at a time, which is already quite powerful. Unless other players use artifacts or "pseudo-artifacts", or are equipped with a good set of holy artifacts, no one will be my opponent in a head-on confrontation. If I become stronger, I will probably become "invincible" - of course I really hope so, but from the perspective of professional balance , the system should not allow this to happen.
This challenge to the great demon can be said to have been fruitful, but the price paid for it was also high, and the effect of equipment on improving my strength is not very obvious, so at this stage there is no need to invest too much in this area, and I should invest the limited funds that can be used on me into challenging the Golden Dragon and the Black Tortoise. After all, the unlocking of the "Scepter of the Dead" will be of much greater help to me.
Because the "Dragon Bone Holy Crown" is a high-level sacred artifact, after returning to the Eastern Continent, I immediately rushed to the mercenary union in the city to declare my ownership of it. According to the newly promulgated "Tianxia Equipment and Props Management Measures", all artifacts used by players and high-level and mid-level sacred artifact-level equipment and props must be reported to the mercenary union for filing in order to facilitate system control and management. Random sales, loans and other "illegal transactions" are not allowed. On the one hand, it is easy for interested parties to use it to "disrupt the normal market order", which is not conducive to a reasonable judgment and measurement of the actual value of high-level equipment and props. On the other hand, it is also to protect the normal interests of players - high-level equipment and props are generally valuable, and formal transactions through the "exchange" established by the system can effectively avoid fraud and avoid risks.
