#2672 - Scepter
"Yes."
Fang Heng nodded lightly, raising his head to look at the remaining large portion of the ice shards.
A dark scepter and a slightly yellowed book were still sealed within the majority of the ice.
Fang Heng slowly walked forward, flipped his wrist, and the Divine Greatsword appeared in his palm.
"Bang! Bang, bang!!!"
The Divine Greatsword smashed fiercely against the ice shards several times.
Instantly, ice crystals splashed everywhere.
After hammering out a dent in the remaining ice, Fang Heng reached out and first picked up the scepter from within the ice, examining it in his hand.
[Hint: Player has obtained item - Persephone Empress's Scepter].
Type: Sub-artifact.
Description: The scepter used by Persephone Empress when studying necromancy, it has been with the Empress for many years, imbued with the Empress's icy power.
Explanation: Using this equipment will increase the player's physique by 20 points, spirit by 20 points, and strength by 20 points.
Explanation: Using this scepter to cast spells will additionally add 20% of mental power as ice attribute damage and 20% as netherfire attribute damage. Using the scepter for melee attacks has a chance to inflict a netherfire effect on the enemy, and a very low probability of freezing the enemy's soul.
Too bad.
It's just a sub-artifact.
Fang Heng thought it was a pity.
He originally thought it was an artifact, so he felt a bit disappointed.
But it doesn't matter.
At least the weapon's effect is not bad, and he is in need of a necromantic attribute weapon.
He'll just use it for a while.
Fang Heng tried to weigh the scepter in his hand.
Not bad, not bad, it's quite heavy.
Fang Heng put the scepter into his backpack and turned his gaze back to the book in the remaining ice.
The outer layer of the old, yellowed book was shrouded in a faint dark mist.
A necromantic attribute dark mist.
It doesn't look ordinary!
As soon as Fang Heng took the book in his hand, the book suddenly trembled violently, as if struggling, and a large number of ice crystals even appeared on the surface.
Not good!
Fang Heng frowned slightly and immediately switched to the Nether God form.
Whoosh!
The dark aura overflowing from the book seemed to sense the power from Persephone Empress, and soon merged with the aura released by Fang Heng, becoming quiet.
Game hint appeared.
[Hint: Player has obtained item - Persephone Empress's Notes * 1].
[Item: Persephone Empress's Notes].
Type: Artifact.
Explanation: Legend has it that Persephone Empress recorded some experiences in the book while exploring the path to advanced god-level necromancy. After obtaining this book, players can trigger a special task - The Road to Godhood (Necromancy).
Explanation: This item will definitely drop after death.
Explanation: This item has unknown hidden usage conditions.
It's really an artifact!
Fang Heng's pupils suddenly shrank.
And it's exactly the same as what the high-level members of the Necromantic Council had guessed!
The book hides guidance to the path of god-level necromancy!
[Hint: The player has met the pre-requisite conditions, the player has triggered a special advanced task - The Road to Godhood (Necromancy)].
Task Name: The Road to Godhood (Necromancy).
Task Type: Guidance Task.
Current Guidance Description: Please go to the Necromantic Council and strive for the assistance of the Necromantic Council to jointly decipher the contents of the book (players can also find other ways to complete the task objective, abnormal behavior will lead to uncontrollable events).
Fang Heng raised his head and looked at several mentors.
Under the expectant gazes of the mentors, Fang Heng nodded slightly, "Yes, the mentors guessed correctly, this book does contain information about advanced god-level necromancy."
Wow...!
High-level members of the Necromantic Council.
Although they couldn't hear what Fang Heng was saying through the mirror, seeing Fang Heng nod, the entire Necromantic Council hall was immediately filled with a noisy heat wave!
The council mentors had also lost their usual composure at this time, with excited faces, discussing loudly with each other.
They did it!
The path to advanced godhood!
They also found it for necromancy!
"The specific contents of the book are not clear, and some translation of the content is needed. I will take the book back to Miskatonic immediately and start working with the Necromantic Council to translate the book."
"Okay, Fang Heng, let's act separately."
Several mentors quickly discussed it. Since the few of them were still in a soul state, returning directly would damage their souls. Although they eagerly wanted to follow and see, they gave up.
"Let's go back together."
Fang Heng nodded to Ji Xiaobo, preparing to take everyone out of the special space.
"Wait."
Nortal reached out to stop Fang Heng and asked, "Mr. Fang Heng, does this book contain any instructions on how to deal with the disaster?"
"Not sure yet." Fang Heng shook his head lightly, "If there is, I will tell you immediately."
"Okay, this is very important to us, please."
Nortal nodded lightly, looking at Fang Heng's leaving figure, standing there silently for a moment.
Humans!
He never imagined that a human could seal Sulhog and find the inheritance of Persephone Empress from the ice shards.
It's really terrifying!
Now, he needs to inform the empire of this news as soon as possible.
Although the possibility is very small, he still hopes to find a way to deal with the disaster from the records left by the Empress.
...
Abe Chiye's magic circle slowly rotated.
Fang Heng and the two returned to Zombie Apocalypse, and immediately rushed to Miskatonic.
The high-level members of the Necromantic Council had been waiting for a long time.
While they were dealing with Sulhog, the Holy Court had made a lot of moves.
In response to the destruction of the relic world by the undead, the Holy Court immediately reacted, sending out news to counterattack the worlds where the undead are located, and even putting pressure on federal governments at all levels in the real world.
In addition, it is said that the Holy Court is preparing to urgently open the God's Domain descent channel.
After a period of time, the army of God's Domain can enter the lower realm battlefield at any time through descent.
A purge operation against the undead is about to begin.
However, the Necromantic Council doesn't care.
The focus of the entire Necromantic Council is on studying advanced god-level necromancy.
Compared to advanced god-level necromancy, what is the Holy Court?
They don't care at all!
On the player side, Shi Lipeng led the player team to fully shrink their defenses.
Anyway, they have already made a fortune from this wave.
As long as they can find the path to god-level necromancy, the costs that are about to be paid are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the undead camp!
The most important thing now is advancement!
Everything else will be said after the matter about Persephone Empress's advancement book is settled!
In the hall, seeing Fang Heng return, all the mentors stood up together, casting their gazes towards Fang Heng and Ji Xiaobo.
