Chapter 333: The Great Master's Background, Three Epic Items! (5800)

"Holy crap! This is actually a Haoyue treasure chest!"

Because the natives of this world cannot open the treasure chest.

Even if they saw these treasure chests in the wild, they would be of no use to them. At most, they would take them back to their homes and put them as decorations, just like this great wizard did.

The Church of Light also ignored this treasure chest.

This is a good deal for Cao Xing.

And this was also the second Haoyue treasure chest he encountered in the wild.

Cao Xing was very much looking forward to what would be found inside.

He clicked 'yes' without hesitation!
[Open successfully. 】

[Obtain: Ice Tornado Storm Skill Book (Orange)*1]

[Obtain: Advanced Elemental Arrow Tower Construction Drawing (Gold)*1]

[Obtain: Hengjin Ingot*27]

[Obtain: Mithril*65]

[Obtain: Magic Pattern Stone*23]

[Obtain: Large resource pack*6]

[Obtain: Expert-level elemental crystals*17]

...

At this moment, Cao Xing's pupils suddenly shrank!

What did he see?
An orange skill book!

It looks like he used it himself.

"The last time I got an orange skill was because of the reward for first killing a commander. I didn't expect that I would get one now!"

"Comfortable!"

Look at the properties.

[Ice Tornado Storm (Orange): Frost Mage Exclusive Skill Book]

[Skill Effect: Generates a magic circle covering 100 meters, summons two powerful ice dragons, which rotate in place for 3 seconds, making the enemy unable to move, and causes ice damage of 12 attack points * 154% to the enemy. Cooldown time: 3 minutes.]

...

"What a large range! What a terrifying attack coefficient!"

It doesn't look as large as the 500-meter range of [Soul Withering].

But the damage of [Ice Tornado] is much stronger than that of [Soul Withering]!
This skill can rotate for 3 seconds and deal 12 levels of group attack damage.

This can be said to be the group attack skill with the highest damage coefficient that Cao Xing has ever obtained!
"Not bad, not bad. This trip was really worth it!"

With a look of satisfaction.

Cao Xing clapped his hands and directly learned this skill book.

In an instant, a large number of memories flooded into my mind.

It was not until three or four minutes later that Cao Xing completely digested these memories.

In addition, there is a drawing of an arrow tower.

Cao Xing also unfolded it and took a look at the attributes.

[Advanced Elemental Arrow Tower Blueprint (Gold)]

[Blueprint effect: You can upgrade the intermediate element arrow tower in the territory to an advanced element arrow tower]

[Attack power: 1893~1982 (with a 30% chance of adding 660 points of elemental damage)]

[Attack interval: 1.5 seconds/1 time]

[Maximum range: 2000 meters]

[Armor: 500 points]

Durability: 15500/15500

【Area: 47 square meters】

【Building height: 28 meters】

[Materials required for construction: Level 5 Lord's Mansion, Intermediate Element Arrow Tower, Wood*4000, Stone*2000, Iron*600, Mithril*20, Advanced Element Crystal*5]

……

"It's OK. Compared with the intermediate arrow tower, the attack power has increased by almost three or four times. The cost performance is still very high."

"Of course, the resources required for this upgrade are a bit outrageous."

I put it into my backpack, and the harvest in this Haoyue treasure chest was cleared.

This magic tower doesn't look like it has much to gain.

But out of caution, Cao Xing confirmed it again.

And this look really made him find some extraordinary places.

He was under a lampstand and felt a familiar wave.

I got closer and took a look.

[Hidden space grid: 4 cubic meter]

Current status: Closed

(Note: A hidden space that may contain something.)
...

"Oh? Another space grid?"

"And it looks like it hasn't been searched yet!"

With a look of joy, Cao Xing took out Vivian's hairpin from his backpack and poked it directly.

"Boom!"

There was a sound like bubbles bursting.

In front of Cao Xing, a space window appeared out of thin air again.

And when he looked through the window and saw what was inside, he felt his breathing quicken again.

There is a full four cubic meters of space inside, filled with a large number of magic crystals and magic scrolls!
There are also some props that exude a powerful aura and look very precious just by looking at them!

Cao Xing was shocked.

"Oh my god, there are so many things hidden in here!"

"The background of the great wizard is so terrifying!"

"Great! This place hasn't been searched!"

He reached in without hesitation and took out everything inside.

[Obtain: Magic Crystal (Blue) * 3523]

[Obtain: Magic Crystal (Purple)*1117]

[Obtain: Magic Crystal (Gold)*252]

[Obtain: Blank Magic Scroll *54]

[Obtain: 4th level 'Wind Wing' spell scrolls]

[Obtain: 3 Tier 'Eye of the Storm' spell scrolls]

[Obtain: 2 level 'Wind God Shield' spell scrolls]

[Obtain: 2 level 'Wind Beacon' spell scrolls]

[Obtain: Genadi's Dead Soul Bag (Orange)*1]

[Obtain: Genadi's Spell Manual (Orange)]

[Obtain: Moon Crown Orb Fragment (Orange)*1]

...

As things were taken out one by one, his breathing became more rapid.

At the end, I just screamed out loud!
"Wozhi, this is too outrageous!"

"Not only are there so many magic crystals and spell scrolls, but there are also three orange items!"

"What's even more outrageous is that there is also a fragment of the Moon Crown Orb among them."

At this moment, Cao Xing admitted that he was shocked.

He never thought that he could get so many things in this magic tower.

As expected of a great wizard, this is too terrifying!

Of course, Cao Xing also knew that this was because the great wizard was the city lord's bodyguard and had a large amount of resources in his hands.

If he were an ordinary wizard, he would definitely not be as rich as him.

So this time, he can be considered to have found a treasure.

With excitement, I started to check them one by one.

[Magic Crystal (Purple)]

[Item effect: In the 'meditation' state, spend 1 hour to absorb the magic contained in it, increase 10000 experience points, and improve magic affinity. Daily usage times: 5]

...

[Magic Crystal (Gold)]

[Item effect: In the 'meditation' state, spend 1~2 hours to absorb the magic contained in it, increase 10 experience points, as well as a large amount of magic affinity, increase spell damage by 1% (up to 50%), number of uses per day: 1]

...

"Brilliant!"

At this moment, Cao Xing could only sigh.

"This golden magic crystal has a terrifying effect on mages!"

"One can increase 10 experience points and 1% spell damage."

"If there are enough of them, and they work with the Mage Tower, they won't have to come out to fight. They can just keep absorbing these magic crystals in the tower and become stronger."

Cao Xing continued to check.

[Fifth- and Sixth-Level Blank Magic Scrolls]

[Effect of item: A sixth-order archmage-level existence, which can imprint fifth-order and sixth-order magic on it.]

...

[Level 4 'Wind Wings' Spell Scroll]

[Item Effect: Use a certain amount of magic power to activate the spell in the scroll, causing yourself or a friendly unit to grow a wing of wind, increasing the flight speed by 20% for 10 minutes]

...

[Level 5 'Eye of the Storm' Spell Scroll]

[Item Effect: Releases a large amount of magic power, creating an 'Eye of the Storm' in front, forcibly sucking in all enemies within a 200-meter radius, and causing multiple wind damage equal to 37% of the attack power, lasting for 5 seconds]

...

[Sixth-level 'Wind God's Blessing' spell scroll]

[Item Effect: Uses a large amount of magic power to add a layer of Wind God Shield to yourself or friendly units. The shield durability is fixed at 20000. After the shield is broken, it will cause 50% blasting damage to enemies within a 188-meter range.]

(Note: This skill is a spell created by Grand Mage Genadi.)
...

[Sixth-level 'Wind Beacon' spell scroll]

[Item Effect: Use some magic power to add a layer of Wind Beacon to the target unit, sensing the opponent's position. The duration is 3 hours, and the maximum sensing distance is 3000 kilometers.]

(Note: This skill is a spell created by Grand Mage Genadi.)
...

Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

"These magic scrolls are indeed the magic imprinted by the great wizard. The effects are more outrageous than the last!"

The effect of the 'Eye of the Storm' is similar to that of the [Original Cube].

However, while gathering monsters, it also takes into account the effect of damage.

Another sixth-tier spell, 'Wind Beacon', has an effect almost equivalent to 'Hunting Mark', except that it lasts a little longer.

What Cao Xing was most concerned about were the two auxiliary skills, 'Wind Wings' and 'Wind God's Blessing'.

Cao Xing pondered, "This 'Wind Wing' can be used on friendly units, giving them the ability to fly and increasing their movement speed."

"Then this friendly party should also include Baymax, Blue, and the Earth Dragon Mecha, right?"

“It has just been confirmed that the spells in this scroll can also be blessed by the power of eternity.

"Then can I release the 'Wind Wings' scroll to Xiaolan, so that it can become a flying moose, and then release the skill 'Frost Breath' in the air?"

Cao Xing's pupils shrank.

Obviously, his idea is feasible. In this way, Xiaolan becomes a flying frost moose, and his lethality on the battlefield will increase dramatically!

As for the other two sixth-level shield scrolls.

Cao Xing used one on himself first without any hesitation.

As a large amount of magic power was injected, he felt his spirit being drained in an instant!

A strong feeling of dizziness came over me.

At the critical moment, he directly drank a drop of top-quality tree sap, which replenished his energy and avoided the consequence of fainting!
Cao Xing exclaimed: "That was a close call!"

"Damn it, there's no note on it. If you use this spell scroll, there's a risk of fainting due to your mental energy being drained!"

He took a long breath and sighed again: "It seems that even if there is a sixth-level spell scroll, it cannot be used casually. It requires a large amount of magic power."

"If a wizard below the fourth level uses this scroll, his spirit will probably be drained instantly, causing the scroll to fail."

At the same time, the scroll in front of him seemed to have finally absorbed enough magic power, and a vast and heavy breath of wind emerged from it.

Then, this ball of wind appeared directly beside Cao Xing, forming an invisible wind shield.

It only becomes visible when attacked.

A system prompt appears.

[Successfully activated the [Sixth-level Wind God's Blessing Magic Scroll], you have gained a shield effect that lasts for 60 seconds. Affected by the talent [Eternal Power], this skill has become permanent...]
(Note: In the permanent state, after the shield is broken, it will be regenerated after 120 seconds.)
...

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

This is equivalent to directly increasing his health limit by 20000 points.

And once it is broken, it will cause an extremely high coefficient of group attack damage.

"This skill is really good. If it can be applied to all the subjects, maybe a new style can be developed, the Shield Blast Style!"

"Just stand in the middle of the enemy. If you dare to break my shield, I will blow you up!"

"And the 'Wind Wings' spell is also very powerful. Combined with the [Eternal Power], it can give all my subjects the ability to fly."

"It's a pity that the great wizard Genadi is dead. Otherwise, I could have thought of a way to fully master these two skills."

Cao Xing felt a little regretful.

After all, [Blessing of the Wind God] was a spell created by the great wizard Genadi. After his death, this skill was equivalent to being lost.

In his hand, a dark green book appeared again.

It contained strong magical fluctuations, and had several large words engraved in gold-inlaid fonts.

[Gennadi's Magic Handbook (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Item effect. It records some of the cultivation experiences of the great wizard Genadi, including some of the advanced spells he has mastered. Through continuous practice, you can learn the spells of this great wizard.]

[Learnable spells: Multiple Wind Blades, Wind Blade Sweep, Flying Wings, Wind Chains, Eye of the Storm (Advanced Spell), Blessing of the Wind God (Master Spell)]

[Requirements for learning: Magic affinity, magician who controls the wind element]

【Time required for learning: unknown】

(Note: Depending on the wizard's talent and efforts, the time required to learn the various skills recorded in it varies. If you get stuck, finding a highly accomplished mentor to answer your questions will be much easier...)
...

After seeing the effect, Cao Xing was stunned again.

This spell manual actually contains six skills.

Among them, there are four enhanced versions of wind magic, one advanced magic, and one master-level magic!

It can be said that any wind mage who obtains this manual will regard it as a treasure.

If he could learn all of them, he would be able to become a new wind wizard!
And the most important thing is that the two magical skills that Cao Xing wanted, 'Wind Wings' and 'Blessing of the Wind God', are actually in it!

Cao Xing said in surprise: "Hahaha! I just said that the skills of the great wizard Genadi were going to be lost, but I didn't expect that he actually recorded them in this magic manual."

"Great!"

He treated the magic manual as a treasure and put it into his backpack.

At the same time, I secretly set a goal.

Later, I will try to bring back a wind mage and let him learn the above skills as soon as possible.

Then, another thing appeared in Cao Xing's hand.

This looks like a black sack, and it contains a strange spatial fluctuation.

[Gennadi's Dead Bag (Orange): Special Item]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect of item: You can collect some undead units that have lost their ability to resist, or friendly undead (all units without life characteristics are undead units), into the undead bag and move it with you.]

【储存空间：1000格（每格空间只能收纳一名身高不超过2米，体积不超过2立方的单位，每超出1米将额外占用1格空间）】

(Note: Genadi spent all his assets to ask a necromancer to make a necromancer bag for him.)
...

"Wow! A dead body bag with 1000 spaces!"

Cao Xing was startled for a moment.

This was the first time he had encountered something that could be used to store military equipment.

If this thing is used well, the effect is even better than legendary equipment.

Although it was mentioned above, it can only hold inanimate units.

But except for the Undead, those mechas and robots are inanimate units and have a lot of room for operation.

And something else made Cao Xing even more curious.

Are those undead belonging to the necromancy unit?
If the undead are also counted, then can we discuss with Duke Palatine later and let him take his undead army into the undead bag for a while?
"Given my friendship with Paladin, he shouldn't refuse, right?"

Cao Xing was delighted, then happily put it into his backpack.

Although, the previous gains are already amazing enough.

But there is another important gain this time.

That was a fragment of a gem!

[Lunar Crown Orb Fragment]

After taking a look at the properties, Cao Xing thought to himself, "Sure enough, the properties are similar to the gem I got last time."

"Each of them increases spell power by 20%. Only when all are gathered can the full power of this legendary gem be unleashed."

Cao Xing didn't have much expectation for the task of collecting the 12 gem fragments.

Unexpectedly, I got the second one here.

It can be said to be a coincidence.

A smile also appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

“This harvest is really good.”

If the materials in front are used for the development of the territory later.

So now what can be obtained from the space grid of this great wizard is to greatly enhance the combat power of the territory and enhance Cao Xing's own survivability.

Cao Xing also seemed more confident about the next search.

After confirming again that nothing is missing.

With excitement, Cao Xing left the great wizard's magic tower.

...

...

"call--"

The streets were empty late at night and the cold wind was blowing.

Cao Xing was standing in front of the magic tower at this time, watching the scene around him.

At the same time, I also started thinking about the next plan.

According to the previous idea, I originally wanted to return to the outer city area to search.

But he had just been on the top floor of the Grand Wizard's magic tower, and saw a building in the center of Lake Duolun City through the window.

There stood a magnificent mansion.

It covers a very vast area, almost as large as Cao Xing's entire territory.

There are three big characters engraved on the plaque at the entrance of the mansion.

【City Lord's Mansion】

Obviously, that is the most important building in the entire Duolun Lake City.

Speaking of which, as the lord of a city, the lord of Lake Duolun City is also a nobleman with the title of earl.

The territory under its jurisdiction includes not only Duolun Lake City, but also a large number of surrounding villages and towns.

It is more than ten times larger than a baron's territory.

Over the years, these villages and towns under its jurisdiction have also generated a lot of tax revenue for him.

Coupled with a prosperous Lake Duolun City, the revenue brought in almost every day is astonishing.

There must be a lot of resources in his mansion.

The most crucial thing is that the resources plundered by the Church of Light in the central urban area may also be concentrated in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Moreover, Cao Xing also vaguely felt that there was some strange aura in the City Lord's Mansion.

"This trip into the city, in addition to plundering resources, is also to see what these guys are doing in the city."

"So far, I have been in the city for such a long time, and apart from the red-robed bishop who just returned, I have not met any other important people."

"Where have all those people gone?"

Obviously, the answer is obvious.

There is definitely something wrong inside the City Lord’s Mansion!
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go over and take a look.

Cao Xing walked along the central street.

The closer you get to the City Lord's Mansion, the more patrolling cultists you will see.

Cao Xing even saw the figures of several white-robed priests.

His heart was slightly moved, but he still approached gradually without showing any sign.

The patrolling cultists did not react when they saw Cao Xing in disguise as the team leader.

He just asked him what he was doing here so late at night, and Cao Xing made up an excuse and got away with it.

After all, a commander-level disguise is not so easy to see through.

So he had almost no obstruction and arrived near the City Lord's Mansion.

However, the door was closed at this time.

There was a group of cultists guarding the door, and they looked like they wanted to keep strangers away.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing did not approach, so he decided to enter from another place.

After all, the city lord's mansion is quite large.

With the current manpower of the Church of Light, it is definitely impossible to defend in all directions.

Cao Xing moved forward along the wall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon they arrived at a relatively remote area behind the City Lord's Mansion.

Cao Xing squatted in the corner like a thief, always paying attention to the movements around him and listening to the movements inside.

Through the wall, Cao Xing felt a strong evil aura!

In addition, there is a lot of footsteps.

"Huh? There are still so many people in the City Lord's Mansion in the middle of the night?"

Cao Xing decided to sneak in and take a look.

He carefully climbed over the wall, then jumped down and landed in a patch of grass.

[You have entered a special area: City Lord's Mansion...]

[Attention! This area has been occupied by the Church of Light. It is extremely dangerous. Please be careful...]

...

"Is it fatally dangerous?"

Cao Xing's heart moved slightly, which made him even more curious.

After confirming that there was no one around, Cao Xing walked out of the bushes and slowly walked forward.

After stepping through a door, when he saw the scene inside, his pupils suddenly shrank!

Because he saw, at this moment, there were a large number of pale figures standing in the City Lord's Mansion!
