Chapter 174: Ancient Equipment
Hot air evaporates in the pool water, emitting lingering clouds and mist, like a veil, rendering the misty scenery.
Brian soaked his entire body in the hot springs that radiated warmth from the water fairy.
The rich fragrance of roses, accompanied by the refreshing fragrance of lavender, lingered in his nose, so comfortable that his body gradually relaxed and he was completely intoxicated.
He closed his eyes and let the fragrance and moist warmth wrap around his body.
Waves of hot air filled with magical energy seeped into his body, making him tremble uncontrollably. All fatigue and stiffness melted away, making him feel elated.
Then, under the influence of Chi Shui's own "Advanced Restoration Technique", the skin on his body began to shed, as if he had been purified from head to toe.
At the same time, traces of black substance began to seep out of his pores.
This is just the beginning.
Under the warm hot springs, all the hidden wounds and potential hidden wounds left on his body during his more than twenty years of adventure were repaired.
The more conspicuous scars on his chest and back gradually disappeared, and any diseases, injuries, and hidden dangers on his body were all completely repaired.
Obviously, his body is being purified and approaching its peak 100% state.
When it was all over, Brian's naked body stood up in the pool.
At this moment, his skin became fair and tough, and all injuries were completely repaired. It was as if he was reborn, and all hidden injuries had completely disappeared.
Even his slightly tired spirit returned to a full state of peace and tranquility.
With a wave of his hand, he evaporated the water stains all over his body, and all the clothes placed aside rose into the air and were put on him.
Last night, after he and Helist returned to the Supreme Palace, the other party returned all the items he had stored with her, including an ancient piece of equipment.
Thinking about the low-level ancient ritual of passing down ancient equipment, you need to find a natural and pure pool. The water in the pool is reflected in the starry sky, and the equipment is immersed in it until dawn.
The first place he thought of was naturally the hot spring in the Quiet Lily Temple, so he came to the magic hot spring where the Mizusawa Fairy lived, and activated the low-level ancient ritual properties of the ancient equipment.
"Bah, bah, bah!...Brian, what you lied to is not what you said at all..." At this moment, the Water Fairy emerged from the pool, shining like water. He said angrily with a hint of shame in his light blue eyes.
"You promised me that as long as I do what you ask, you will share that power with me. When will you give it to me?"
"Little girl." Brian glanced at With a shy face, she said to her while arranging her clothes:
"You have to know that any gift from fate has a price tag secretly. Don't you really just think that this This kind of power can be obtained by just opening your mouth."
The so-called power is the dormant divine power in his body.
As a water fairy transformed from the purest natural energy, even if his power is silent, it still has a natural attraction to the water fairy just like flowers attract bees.
Therefore, the seemingly innocent Shuizawa Fairy tried to attract him through her natural temptation ability, intending to feel this divine power that is closest to nature.
Recalling the other party's raw skills and simple and innocent character, Brian judged that the water fairy had not been in the material world for a long time, at most only about a hundred years.
"Then what do you want to do before you are willing to share this power with me." The Water Fairy was lying beside the pool, with a pair of innocent aqua blue eyes full of sadness.
"We'll talk about it after I get back." Brian ignored her acting skills, thought for a moment, and said what he was thinking, "So, you must go with me."
If When the water fairies move to a place with rich elements like the elemental pool in the mage tower, their original natural attributes will be converted into elemental attributes, and at the same time, the effect of the energy concentration of the elemental pool will be significantly increased.
Based on this alone, Brian would try every means to deceive her.
However, when he learned that his silent god-like power had such a strong attraction to Fairy Shuize, he suddenly thought of a more bold attempt.
Of course, the prerequisite for all this is to let her go with him.
"Okay..." A trace of hesitation appeared on Fairy Shuizawa's charming face, and then it was replaced by determination, and a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, "I am willing to go with you."
< br>"That's right." Brian brushed his hair back and smiled at her, "As long as you are obedient, the benefits I will give you will never let you down."
Upon hearing this, Fairy Shuize smiled sweetly, then turned into mist with satisfaction and disappeared.
Obviously, this simple water fairy has no doubts about Brian's empty promise.
Seeing this situation, Brian even felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, what he said was not a complete lie to her, otherwise, he would really feel a little guilty.
Then, he no longer hesitated, stretched out his finger, and a ring flashing with strong magical light came out of the pool water and landed on his open palm.
This is a white gold ring set with diamonds. The diamonds are surrounded by smaller blue and white gemstones. In a trance, these gemstones seem to be shining with bright starlight.
Looking at this familiar piece of equipment returning to its original owner again, Brian felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.
This ring was given to him by an elf mother-in-law who raised him before she died.
Although she said nothing and asked him to do nothing.
But he could clearly feel the attachment of this elf mother-in-law to the world of Atas, her hometown that she could not return to.
In other words, the elves in the small world he was reborn in actually came from the main material world of another Tianyu in the universe, crossed the crystal wall system, and came to Tianyu, a country centered on the world of Toril.
To put it simply, it means coming from one solar system to another.
Looking at the ancient ring in his palm, Brian seemed to hear the old elf mother-in-law who raised him before she died:
"Once, I Living in a world of fire and sand. The crimson sun eats away the lives of birds and animals, and sandstorms sweep away the plants on the barren land. This is a continent of blood and dust, where savage elven tribes plunder the lonely journey on the sand and salt plains. Troops, mystical singing winds summon people to slowly suffocate in the sea of mud, and selfish monarchs squander their armies to build luxurious palaces and tombs. This desolate wasteland is Athas, and it is my home."
In the end, this murmur with infinite nostalgia turned into poetry, beating Brian's heart like a drizzle:
It was a world of plenty.
Grass covers the wilderness, surrounded by clear springs.
Wheat fields stretch for miles, and sheep walking leisurely can be seen everywhere.
Oak and maple forests proudly guard their territory.
Happy people wander among the surrendered beasts.
What makes a warrior wield a sword?
Don't talk about greed when fighting in Moti.
The blood boils only because of the supreme glory and the beauty's handkerchief. For whom do great kings march, and for whom do brave armies fight?
The safety of the people and the belief in justice fill my heart.
Why did everything change suddenly in the blink of an eye, leaving behind waves of yellow sand and broken walls?
Everyone in the world has forgotten you, and only sad songs whisper:
When will you be able to regain your former appearance,
My Atas, my former home?
…………
Brian came back to his senses and sighed melancholy, feeling that the burden on him was getting a little heavier.
Because he not only wants to find a way to save the small world that is threatened by ancient evil creatures, but also takes the last wish of the elf mother-in-law and returns to Atta abandoned by the gods with Helist. world.
If necessary, he will even find ways to restore it to its former lush greenness.
He stopped thinking about it and looked at the new attributes obtained by this ancient ring after activating the low-level ancient ritual.

Symptoms: Although the ring fits the finger, non-elven wearers will always feel the ring is a little loose or tight, while elven owners will find the ring to be a perfect size.
(Explanation: This is an ancient piece of equipment inherited from the era of the High Elf remnants. Its first owner left a sentence before his death: I am on this side of the starry sky, and you are on the other side of the starry sky. The other end is far, far away, brilliant eternity, endless distance, never to be seen again)
…………
Looking at the attributes of the equipment, it seems like. Brian, a person with a calm personality, was also shocked. He immediately put on the ancient ring, hiding the flickering magic aura and twinkling starlight, and felt the power brought by the ancient equipment.
The so-called 'ancient equipment' means having a complete inheritance. As long as all the requirements of the ancient ceremony are completed, this piece of equipment can gradually develop new abilities as the character's level grows.
In other words, as long as the equipment fits your profession, it is a piece of equipment that can be used for a lifetime.
Although ancient equipment is relatively rarer than legendary equipment, Brian has seen many of them more or less when he was in the game world.
However, after comparison, he discovered that the growth potential of his ancient equipment was simply not comparable to any other ancient equipment he had ever seen.
Even the ability gained from the first ancient ritual that awakens this equipment is stronger than the few ancient equipment that awakens all three rituals.
This made Brian have to wonder whether this piece of equipment might be an artifact.
After all, this is ancient equipment inherited from the era of the elven remnants. It has experienced the world of Atas and the small world where he was reborn, and finally followed him to the world of Toril.
The most important thing is that when the ancient ritual has not yet awakened, the magic aura it imparts is only moderate.
Now with the activation of the ritual, not only has it become a high-level illusion aura, but the form spell composed of 6 charges has also undergone tremendous changes, and there is an additional +2 after the name of the equipment.
In Brian's impression, the best quality equipment is only +2, the extraordinary quality is +3, the excellent quality can reach +4, and the higher quality is +5 legendary equipment.
In other words, legendary quality equipment should ideally reach level 5 legend.
Brian's piece of equipment only gained level 2 attributes after awakening once. This means that if all the rituals are awakened, it will break through level 5 and reach level 5 or above artifact attributes.
Of course, this is just his unilateral calculation. After all, the world is so big, anything beyond imagination may happen.
Brian did not worry too much about the quality of the equipment, because no matter how much he thought about it, it was not as practical as finding a way to awaken all three rituals.
Then, he set his sights on the newly acquired ancient ability.
Needless to say the function of the first "Starlight Resistance". With this characteristic, any spells that need to be judged on will, toughness, constitution, etc. must be judged in front of him. Weak three points.
Although the second increase of "Starlight Power" is a bit biased, his best spell "Mayouf Micro Meteor" is exactly within the increase of this characteristic.
As the saying goes, ‘One trick can eat up everything’, Brian has long experienced the power of “Mayouf Micro Meteor” with the blessing of “Arcane Twins” and “Magic Rapid Fire”.
At the beginning, twenty bolides hit the Blue Dragon Lich, which was famous for its defensive power, and almost killed half of his life.
And from the elementary level dotted behind "Starlight Power", it can be seen that in the subsequent awakening of the ancient ritual, the additional damage it adds will be improved.
Brian did not release the third "Silver Starlight" and the fourth "Star Contract" tentatively, and the specific power is not yet clear.
But from the fact that these two characteristics are ranked before "Starlight Resistance" and "Starlight Power", we can see that this is by no means an ordinary skill.
As for the powerful dispelling magic attached to "Starlight Dispelling", he used his mind to drive it a little, and when he sensed a trace of magic aura overflowing, he guessed that it should be a stronger spell than "Advanced Dispelling Magic".
If it is a clear night, even the ordinary force field or gain magic cast by the legendary strong man may be touched.
It can be seen from this that this ring is worthy of being the inheritance of the high elves.
