Chapter 52 Harvest 1
With the death of the blue-robed mage, the battle between Rhodes and the merchant group was completely over.
At this time, the information from the spiritual imprint made Rhodes understand that the vampire's health was running out.
In the original battle, the vampire was seriously injured by the spell of the blue-robed mage. In addition, he suffered several attacks from the dagger in succession. The state of the vampire at this time was even worse than when he was captured by Rhodes.
The vampire pulled the dagger out of his body, gestured to Rhodes, and began to devour the flesh and blood of the blue-robed mage on the ground.
Since the blue-robed mage was beheaded, even if Rhodes intended to make him an undead creature, it would be difficult to achieve, so he did not stop the vampire.
Rhodes came to the corpse of the blue-robed mage, picked up the dagger, and at the same time took off the package on the back of the blue-robed mage, and took out the remaining scrolls in the blue-robed mage's pocket. In the process, Rhode also found a pendant worn by the blue-robed mage.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Rhode searched around the blue-robed mage's body again, and finally found a space ring next to the broken finger that the blue-robed mage took out the dagger for the first time.
Rhode knew that this space ring contained a large number of soul crystals that were real items delivered by the business group on this trip.
The space ring, coupled with these soul crystals, is the biggest gain of this trip. Compared with it, other gains seem to be less important.
Rhode wore the space ring on his left hand. Since there is not much mana at present, Rhodes did not rush to open it, but planned to count other items.
Without opening the package on the blue-robed mage for the first time, Rhode was obviously interested in another item.
Rhodes held the dagger previously used by the blue-robed mage in his hand and began to check the system log.
…………
【Magic Dagger】
Quality: treasure
Type: magic weapon
Equipment requirements: none
Basic attributes: damage +5, durability?
Special Attribute: After absorbing blood, the magic dagger will become extremely sharp.
Comments: This dagger has a long history, but with your current knowledge, it is difficult to discover its hidden secrets.
…………
Rhodes frowned as he looked at the system log.
Treasure-type magic items, as long as they have a certain history, and the player's special skill mystery level is not enough, it is impossible to identify the true function of the treasure.
For example, the [Thinking of Elliot] that Rhodes had previously obtained, since this treasure was originally created by the will of the hero Elliot, there is no special history, and Rhodes can directly identify its function through the system log.
Because Rhodes' mysticism level is not high, the system log only provides a partial description of the dagger, briefly explaining some conditions of the dagger.
These conditions provided by the system are also ordinary people's perception of this dagger.
Looking at the dagger, Rhode knew that the blue-robed mage regarded the dagger as an appearance provided by the system. It was only at the last moment that the dagger showed its true function, out of the control of the blue-robed mage.
Rhodes realized that the blue-robed mage didn't think about fighting with the dagger completely at first, but just wanted to use the dagger to parry the vampire's attack, and the main fighting method was still relying on his own magic.
Just for some reason, the will contained in the dagger almost completely drove the blue-robed mage into madness.
Rhodes understood that most people could not judge the true function of this dagger. If anyone can easily see the strangeness contained in the dagger, this dagger will not come to the hands of the blue-robed mage.
Thinking of this, Rhodes intends to give it a try.
Rhodes came to the corpse of the blue-robed mage, and ignored the vampire who was biting the corpse, but dipped the blood of the blue-robed mage on the ground with a dagger.
As Rhodes thought, the dagger didn't respond.
The blood of the blue-robed mage flowed down the dagger, not even leaving any traces on the dagger.
Rhodes continued to try, cut the tip of his left index finger with the dagger, and smeared the blood on the dagger with his left hand. Suddenly, a burst of red light appeared on the dagger.
Rhode waved the dagger, but he didn't feel anything, and his combat experience didn't improve in any way, as if the dagger just became sharp after absorbing his own blood, just as the system log said.
Rhode knew that in the previous battle, the blue-robed mage turned around without even looking at it many times to block the sneak attack on the side. This was not achieved by the blue-robed mage's original fighting consciousness, but more because the dagger took the initiative to bring the blue-robed mage's body to fight.
The control of the dagger to the blue-robed mage also has limitations. In the previous battle, the blue-robed mage was more wielding the dagger, rather than taking advantage of the extremely sharp edge of the dagger, to make a close attack. If so, Rhodes couldn't dodge easily.
As time passed, because Rhodes provided too little blood, the red light on the dagger soon dimmed.
Rhode observed the dagger again. At this time, its appearance was no different from the daggers commonly used by thieves. It only showed abnormality after absorbing blood.
Thinking of the previous battle with the blue-robed mage, Rhode knew that the dagger was not so simple, but for a while Rhode could not judge its true function.
Due to the variety of treasures in the game, treasures with various functions exist. As introduced on the surface of the dagger, Rhodes has also seen a weapon that absorbs blood and becomes sharp.
Therefore, Rhodes could not judge the true efficacy of the dagger based on his own experience alone. You can only know its true effect by raising your own mystery level, or by going to a magic guild to find someone for appraisal.
After checking the function of the dagger, Rhode turned his attention to the pendant worn by the blue-robed mage.
…………
【Elementary Magic Amulet】
Type: pendant
Equipment requirements: Max mana greater than 30
Basic Attributes: Regenerates an additional 0.5 mana per hour
Evaluation: The first magic amulet, suitable for mage apprentices to wear.
…………
Due to the lack of quality, Rhodes knew that the [Elementary Magic Amulet] was only an ordinary item in the pendant category, and was not considered a treasure.
Wearing the [Elementary Magic Amulet], Rhodes continued to check the next item.
Rhodes opened the package on the blue-robed mage. There were three books and some pure gems in the package, but Rhodes did not see the gold coins.
Due to the haste when escaping, the blue-robed mage did not bring all his items, but quickly selected some high-value items and books he needed.
Rhode knew that what these books recorded should be the skills that the blue-robed mage did not master, and the magic book of the blue-robed mage was also among these three books.
