Chapter 448 The Crown of Karsus
“This is... the crown of Karsus.”
Next to a large piece of minced meat of the mastermind, Nohir discovered the biggest discovery of the trip. The treasure, that is the source of all this, the powerful treasure sought after by the world and ambitious people, the legendary artifact, the crown of Karsus is just floating quietly on the body of the mastermind.
The moment he saw this artifact, Nohir suddenly felt a little dazed, because this crown was telling him clearly and straightforwardly that the future he knew had completely changed.
From now on, he will face a completely unknown world. He will lose his intelligence advantage to a great extent. The cultists he offended have also completely noticed him. Waiting for My own life will be one thrilling crisis after another, but...
‘…but that’s what makes it fun, isn’t it? '
Nohill smiled suddenly. He never lacked the courage to face the unknown and danger, otherwise he would never have broken into hell when he was still young. His bones were full of With the blood of explorers, the so-called unknown is just another round of novel challenges, and the adventure in the world will never end like this.
Nohir hesitated no longer and stretched out his hands towards Karsus' crown, reaching out to the three pieces that were floating, emitting red light, and larger than Nohir himself. Iron pieces, and when Nohir's hands came close to these three suspended iron pieces, these three iron pieces seemed to be attracted by Nohir himself and floated directly towards him.
During this process, the crown itself is also rapidly shrinking until it becomes a size that can be worn by ordinary humanoid beings.
“This is the artifact. It’s incredible. Even if it’s just in vain, you can still feel the huge energy emitted by this artifact. Although it still lacks the Neisser gem as an embellishment, even so, the crown The main body is definitely not useless, but I don’t know what the specific effect of this thing is..."
As a key item in the entire plot of Baldur's Gate 3, Karthus' crown exudes a mysterious color from beginning to end. Even after the game is cleared, the character controlled by the player cannot know the identity of this artifact. What effect does it have.
But now, this artifact has finally been obtained by Nohir, and he also has the means to identify the ability of the artifact. Now his curiosity is almost overflowing! And he didn't mean to suppress his curiosity.
Nohir held up the crown with his left hand, and lightly touched the surface of the crown with his right hand. However, perhaps because of the special power of the artifact itself, the panel that could have obtained the result in an instant unexpectedly It took an extra five or six seconds to explore the specific capabilities of this crown.
This time difference undoubtedly aroused Nohir's curiosity even more. After the panel listed all the abilities of the crown, he immediately opened the detailed report about the crown.

Divine power has many uses, and no matter how it is used, it can greatly enhance the original ability of the attached ability. Its power and magical uses are infinite, but the divine power itself is too rare. Currently, only the divine power currently exists in the crown. Can be used three times by the wearer. ]

If the wearer has the desire to become a god, then this part of the magic net can It can be used as fuel for the wearer to ascend to the gods, but other than that, the magic network itself has no other uses. ]
"...an outrageous thing."
Nohir sighed deeply from the bottom of his heart. To the mage, this thing is a meaningless artifact, but unfortunately, Nohir's profession is barbarian.
Most of the abilities on this crown are meaningless to Nohir.
Even if he is a magical barbarian who relies on animal spirits to gain violent power, a barbarian is a barbarian, which is very different from the normal spellcasting profession.
Once violent, he cannot cast spells. This professional characteristic of the barbarian directly abolishes the crown's most powerful enchanting ability, but the crown is not completely useless to him.
"Divine power... is a bit interesting."
Nohir had a hunch that the most valuable thing about this crown is not its ordinary magic ability, but the most valuable thing about it. It is the Karthus Magic Network stored inside the crown.
It can be decomposed into divine power. Even gods may feel moved when they see this feature. If you want to become a god in the future, this crown will definitely be of great help.
"The goal of becoming a god seems a bit too far away, at least not achievable in the short term. It seems that this crown will not be used for the time being. Put it away and keep it safe until all the gems are collected."
