Chapter 285: Charging Magic Power

Yang Yi got the [Tide Stone], and through the Lord's Eye, he knew that this stone could give the user the power to control water.

He tried it immediately, but found that he could not trigger the effect of the item.

"Does it mean that if you want to use this Tide Stone, you must use a special method to trigger the effect?"

Yang Yi looked at it carefully again and found that there was no special description on the item information.

"If this sea giant Dagun really summoned the tsunami with this Tide Stone, then he must know how to use this stone."

It's a pity that Dagun was unconscious at this time, and Yang Yi couldn't ask him even if he wanted to.

Yang Yi had no choice but to figure it out by himself. He held the Tide Stone in his hand and looked at it carefully. He found that this blue stone had nothing special except the floating milky white lines that made people feel strange.

"Wouldn't it be a gem used to be inlaid on equipment?" Yang Yi guessed randomly.

Yang Yi heard that there are some equipment in this world that can improve properties by inlaying various gems, but he has never encountered such equipment once.

Yang Yi tried to put the [Tide Stone] against the [Sea Monster Harpoon].

Buzz...

The white lines floating on the Tide Stone glowed white and gradually brightened.

"It's possible. The white light from the stone must have triggered something." Yang Yi was surprised.

But what exactly the white light represented, Yang Yi couldn't tell for a while.

Yang Yi tried to keep the Tide Stone away from the Sea Monster Harpoon, and the white light on the stone disappeared immediately. When he put the Tide Stone against the Sea Monster Harpoon again, the white light lit up again.

"It seems that it is the effect triggered by getting close to the equipment, but I don't know what the white light is for."

Yang Yi was studying the effect of the white light on the Tide Stone, and he suddenly found that the Sea Monster Harpoon that was close to the stone had also changed.

As a high-quality equipment, the Sea Monster Harpoon originally had a metallic luster at the tip, and it was very sharp at a glance.

At this time, in just a short period of time, the metallic luster on the harpoon had obviously dimmed, and the entire harpoon seemed to be aging rapidly.

Seeing this, Yang Yi quickly separated the Tidestone from the Sea Monster Harpoon.

"It turns out that the white light on the Tidestone is because it has absorbed the 'energy' of the Sea Monster Harpoon."

Yang Yi was thoughtful, and he remembered the worn-out equipment and pearls in the big wooden box he had found before.

"It seems that the reason why all those equipment and pearls were damaged was because of this Tidestone. Thief Eye said that Dagun liked things with magic power. Could it be that he wanted the Tidestone to absorb the magic power from those things?"

In fact, potions, food, beverages, equipment, etc. with various effects are called magic items.

For example, alchemical potions are called magic potions, and Pandaren wines such as [Lao Chen's Storm Liquor] are called magic wines.

Therefore, equipment that can improve character attributes or have special effects is also called magic equipment.

[Sea Monster Harpoon] is naturally also a magic equipment, so it must have magic power.

"So this Tidestone is charged by absorbing the magic power of magic items. Only when the energy is charged to a certain level can it be used."

Yang Yi guessed that he felt that the method of using the Tidestone must be almost the same as what he guessed.

Yang Yi put away the Tidestone. He looked at the cave and felt that there was nothing else valuable, so he planned to go back.

"Little Naga, I don't know if this sea giant can wake up in three to five days. Let's go back." Yang Yi said.

"Mayor, little Naga performed very well this time."

"You performed very well. I will reward you with a few more bottles of [Autumn Acorn Wine] when I go back."

"Hehe, the mayor is really a good fishman."

Yang Yi and the little Naga rode on the head of the sea monster Tesser and returned to Ratchet Town.

After returning to Ratchet Town, the first thing Yang Yi had to do was to test the Tidestone.

To test the Tidestone, you must first have enough magical items. Yang Yi thought about it. He was reluctant to take the equipment in the town and let it be sucked away by magic and become waste. He decided to use pearls for experiments first.

The pearls in Ratchet Town are basically obtained from shellfish farms, so Yang Yi didn't feel so bad about using them.

Yang Yi asked the fishmen to take out all the pearls in the town.

As the scale of shellfish farms became larger and the levels increased, the amount of pearls harvested in Ratchet Town also increased greatly.

At present, the pearls harvested in Ratchet Town are mainly divided into three types. The first type is rough and ordinary quality pearls, the second type is level 2 excellent quality [glossy small pearls], and the third type is level 3 excellent quality [colorful pearls].

The number of rough and ordinary quality pearls accounts for the majority. This type of pearl can only be sold to the natives or made into handicrafts for the fishmen.

Level 2 excellent quality [glossy small pearls] are the main harvest of Ratchet Town. This kind of pearl can often be opened in [small clam shells]. Yang Yi took a rough look and saw that there were about three thousand shiny small pearls in front of him.

Level 3 excellent quality [Colored Pearls] have a small chance of appearing in small clam shells, mainly from [Hard Shell Clams]. The harvest of this kind of pearls is not large, only more than 600.

"Because of the influx of adventurers, prices have been rising recently. The price of a shiny small pearl is about 16 to 20 silver, and the price of a colored pearl is about 60 to 80 silver, so these two excellent quality pearls together are about 1,000 gold coins." Yang Yi simply estimated the value of these pearls.

Yang Yi first took rough and ordinary quality pearls to test. As expected, [Sea Tide Stone] had no reaction at all when it approached these pearls.

After that, Yang Yi took a small shiny pearl and placed it on the Sea Tide Stone. The milky white lines floating on the Sea Tide Stone immediately lit up.

The Sea Tide Stone absorbed the magic power from the pearl. The shiny small pearl of excellent quality gradually lost its roundness and luster and turned into an ordinary quality pearl.

"It really works."

Yang Yi saw that the Sea Tide Stone had reacted, so he simply put the Sea Tide Stone in the wooden barrel filled with shiny small pearls, allowing the Sea Tide Stone to fully absorb the magic power.

After about a few minutes, all the shiny small pearls in the wooden barrel turned into ordinary quality pearls.

"It seems that it takes time for the Sea Tide Stone to absorb magic power, rather than absorbing it instantly."

After that, Yang Yi put the Sea Tide Stone in and out of the barrels filled with pearls one by one, absorbing all the magic power of the pearls in the barrels one by one.

The milky white lines on the Tide Stone became clearer and brighter, and Yang Yi felt more and more heartbroken.

This sucked away not only magic power, but also money!

After half a day, the Tide Stone was finally full of magic power, and it no longer reacted when it approached the pearl.

"One thousand gold coins! There are a full thousand gold coins in it!" Yang Yi held the Tide Stone in both hands and shouted silently in his heart.

Yang Yi originally planned to try it in the Ratchet Bay immediately after the Tide Stone absorbed the magic power. He hesitated after knowing that the cost of using it once might be one thousand gold coins.

"This Tide Stone is simply a stone of ruin!" Yang Yi felt more and more heartbroken the more he thought about it.

"Forget it, let's observe whether the magic power of the Tide Stone will gradually decrease over time after it is full of magic power." Yang Yi found a reason to comfort himself, and then he put the Tide Stone away with peace of mind.

Then Yang Yi stayed in Ratchet Town.

Soon, a new month arrived, and Yang Yi got another new chance to draw a lottery in the early morning.

This time, Yang Yi drew the construction blueprint of the town's level 1 Murloc Temple.

Yang Yi was very satisfied with the result. The last thing that Ratchet Town lacked was construction workers, so there was no fear that the construction task would not be completed.

After dawn, Yang Yi asked Old Blind to arrange for the Murloc construction workers to upgrade the Murloc Temple.

The Murloc Temple is a special building of the Murlocs. According to the requirements on the construction blueprint, the Murloc Temple requires a Murloc statue, and the effect is unknown.

Yang Yi had previously found a [Rough Murloc Statue] at the Murloc gathering organized by the Blackfin Clan and placed it in the Murloc Temple. The only known effect is that the pond in front of the temple can enhance the Murloc's "Flowing Water Element" expertise.

This was an uneasy day.

Yang Yi got the news from the Holy Sword Knights in the evening that a great battle between the Horde and the Alliance took place in Ashenvale today. The final result of the battle was that the Silver Wing Sentinels of the Alliance Night Elves defeated the Warsong Clan of the Horde Orcs.

After getting the news, Yang Yi immediately connected to the forum to check the news.

In order to compete for the land of Ashenvale and its timber resources, Grom Hellscream, the chieftain of the Warsong Clan, once fought a world-shaking battle with Cenarius, the demigod of the Night Elves. In the end, Grom Hellscream drank the blood of the Abyss Lord Mannoroth and killed Cenarius.

Since then, the Warsong Clan of the Orcs and the Silverwing Sentinels of the Night Elves have been fighting for many years.

The surviving clan of the Warsong Clan built a huge fortress and named it the Warsong Lumberyard, where they cut down trees on a large scale to raise war resources for the tribe.

In order to stop the orcs from continuing to destroy the fragile ecological environment of Ashenvale, the elite Silverwing Sentinels of the Night Elves launched an attack on the Warsong Lumberyard and established the outpost Silverwing Fortress.

The two sides have fought many times, but it has always been difficult to determine the winner.

Each battle usually only involves the Warsong Clan occupying one of the other outposts, or the Silverwing Sentinels destroying several of the other outposts, and it is difficult for both sides to achieve significant results on the other side.

But on the first day of the new year, the Silverwing Sentinels used a trick to lure the Warsong Clan into an ambush, defeating their opponents with a small force.

Even though the orc shaman forcibly summoned a huge lava elemental in the end, causing Ashenvale to fall into a sea of ​​fire, it was eventually destroyed by the wrath of nature guided by the druids on the side of the Silverwing Sentinels. .
