Chapter 319 Cursed Item

What he said before was concise and concise, and he downplayed the origin of the demigod's severed hand. He did not intend to conceal it, but thought that August and the others had already explained this matter to the Grand Inquisitor Valon in their letters.

Vallon activated the god-given skills for himself as soon as he got started. Gavin thought that he valued the ability to destroy evil and used it to win over himself.

Who would have thought that the other party didn't know about this at all.

From this question alone, we can know that the Grand Inquisitor knows the true God far better than August and Darnell, and cannot be easily fooled.

After thinking for a while, the maxim said appropriately: "A broken limb is still a broken limb, especially the immortal Nemesis who is in a special situation now. Her soul was seriously injured due to the battle with the demon lord Orcus and has been in a coma.

This severed limb is used to take back one's immortality and heal injuries.

It may be that the divinity was expelled from the severed limb and had the opportunity to be completely destroyed. "

It is one thing to expel the immortal divine nature, and another thing entirely to absorb it.

Even if Gavin believed in the character of Valon, Darnell and other paladins, he would not dare to reveal easily that he could absorb immortal divinity. It would be better if he died in his stomach. How many people would fight for a little divinity? , and break the brain matter.

If he knew that he held the immortality in his hands, countless cultists and undead creatures would come to kill him.

Wallon not only did not question this explanation, but also believed it because it was the most reasonable. It would be unreasonable to say that Gavin had the ability to absorb the immortality.

Besides, if he had immortality in him, even if he couldn't sense it, the Hammer of Justice would have reacted when he guided the Hammer of Justice to bestow god-given skills on him.

"Why do you know so much about the Immortal Vengeance?" Wallon quickly raised a new question. After all, she is an evil god or a drow evil god. There are very few people on the ground who believe in her, let alone other people. God's whereabouts have always been secret, how could a mortal know it so clearly?

Darnell explained to Gavin on the side: "The ghost incident at Wezeme Manor was caused by the immortal goddess of revenge. After Mr. Gavin broke through the realm of immortal revenge there, he was targeted by the evil god with a twisted psychology. Marking him as a blasphemer, he sent his own followers to hunt him down.

As a result, Mr. Gavin accidentally used a trap to kill a wave of people. One of them was the priest of the Immortal Vengeance. The presiding judge also knows the temperament of drow. For his own benefit, everything can be sold, including his own beliefs. of gods. "

"So that's it." Wallon couldn't help but look Gavin up and down again, as if he wanted to get to know this man again, "What about the god-given skill to destroy evil? It should belong to the ability of the good god, and it is related to the good of the forging-related priesthood. God’s power, but I’ve thought about all the gods and I haven’t heard of any one who possesses and can bestow this power.”

Of course Gavin couldn't say that this was the result of the accumulation of the power of destiny and the combination with the magic network god. He said vaguely: "I can't explain this matter clearly. After cleaning up the Vizeme Manor, where After sleeping for one night, I found out the next day that this ability may be related to destroying the realm of undead revenge, which is an evil existence after all.”

"The abilities and behaviors of the gods are indeed beyond what we mortals can fathom." Wallon did not raise any more questions about Gavin's explanation, but said excitedly, "No matter which god gave it, It’s a recognition of you and I hope you can shoulder more important responsibilities.”

Turning to look at Darnell, he said: "The cooperation you are talking about doesn't mean that you want Mr. Gavin to use this ability on those sealed evil weapons, right?"

Darnell nodded repeatedly and said, "Teacher August and I both have the same intention. This can not only reduce risks, but also enhance the power of kindness, killing two birds with one stone."

The Grand Inquisitor did not make a decision immediately, but walked back and forth: "In our monastery, there are only a few evil weapons sealed and shelved, and most of them are cursed items. I wonder if they are within this range?"

Gavin answered truthfully: "I don't know about this matter either. It's best to test it myself."

Cursed items are magical items that have negative effects.

This negative effect is divided into strong and weak. Some only cause inconvenience and will not cause substantial harm. For example, a powerful magic battle ax will cause the user to continue to lose hair or become uninhibited by women while holding it. Wait, as long as you stop using it, this side effect will disappear automatically.

There are also some side effects that are relatively powerful and even fatal. Even if you give up using them, the side effects will continue until you use magic such as removing the curse to cure them. Some powerful and vicious ones even require the use of prayer.

There are many reasons for the occurrence of cursed items.

Making magic items is never an easy task. The process is delicate and complicated. A slight error does not mean that the item failed to be made, but that it produced a magical effect beyond the control of the creator. If this magical effect is benign , it is a qualified magic item, if it is malignant, it is a cursed item.

Even if it is a normal magic item, it does not mean that problems will not arise in the future. Time will change everything, even magic is no exception.

The rules of magic are not static. Regardless of other things, the goddess of magic is already the third generation.

Do you still expect the magic today to be the same as it was thousands or even ten thousand years ago?

Magic items themselves are subject to magic decay, the influence of powerful magic fields, the distortion of powerful creatures, etc., which may cause them to change and become cursed items.

When it comes to the distortion of powerful creatures, the deformed giants are the typical example. Any item in their hands must become that deformed and distorted appearance.

The last type is those crazy and evil spellcasters or creatures that are deliberately created to harm people. This type is the most terrifying. They are no longer simply cursed objects, but evil objects, and they have a special name—— Evil weapon.

The ruined gold crown and the evil god's emblem ring both belong to this category.

While exploring the difference between cursed objects and evil weapons, Gavin and the others, led by Wallon, passed through the dark underground tunnels and arrived at the secret basement of the monastery.

This secret basement is located under the main hall where Gavin previously received divine grace. Based on the direction and distance of entry, it should be directly under the statue of Tyr and the Hammer of Justice.

Standing outside the door of the sealing room, you can clearly feel the rich and cold atmosphere emanating from inside.

Not simply evil, more ominous.

After Valon opened the three layers of protection including trap, magic and physical, everyone was able to enter the room.

The room is not small, but there are not many items. Counting them next to each other, there are only about a dozen items.

Most of them looked ordinary, but there were only a few pieces that exuded a strong evil aura. The one placed in the middle was a war hammer.

There is a strong aura of death attached to the surface of the war hammer, and even with a powerful seal, there is no way to completely stop it.

The first time Gavin saw him, he couldn't move away.

It's not that he knows this war hammer, but the aura exuding from this war hammer. He is too familiar with it, the divinity of death!

This is clearly a warhammer defiled by a death god Zhuan.

Feeling Gavin's gaze, Valon explained: "This weapon is called the Warhammer of the Rising Sun. It is a powerful paladin warhammer. It once belonged to the founder of the Hammer of Justice Monastery, but it was used against the evil followers of Melkor, the former god of death. At that time, he unfortunately died in battle. Although this warhammer went through all kinds of hardships to find it, it was tainted by evil and has never been purified. "

Gavin couldn't help but ask: "In that case, why don't you pray to the God of Justice to take action himself?"

"I have tried it a long time ago, but my Lord did not answer the prayer. Maybe my Lord has other arrangements for this matter." Wallon made excuses to excuse the God of Justice.

Gavin is not surprised. Excusing one's own gods is a necessary skill for every qualified clergyman. The more advanced the clergyman, the higher the level of this skill.

They cannot say that their gods are not omnipotent.

If those gods are really as omnipotent as their believers think, not to mention the entire Faerûn, even the entire multiverse will be in peace, singing and dancing, and there will be heaven on earth everywhere, without disputes or wars, just peace and tranquility.

Let’s just say the gods are busy.

Busy dealing with more powerful opponents, busy scheming, busy fighting for more believers to enhance their own strength, busy being jealous, busy talking about love.

Although he was itching and wanted to take advantage of this war hammer that contained the divinity of death, he already had his own ideas about how to deal with this weapon.

This weapon is difficult to purify, ultimately due to its immortality.

As long as the immortality is extracted, there is no need to destroy evil at all. It is estimated that this war hammer can return to its original appearance.

All right.

No more pretending, he admitted.

In fact, he is the god of death who is greedy for it.

After knowing the use of the divinity of death to Vizeme Manor, he kept scratching his head, where to find the divinity related to death.

I had been thinking about gods with the priesthood of death before, but I had forgotten about it.

Divinity is not necessarily only found in gods. Some powerful items related to gods, especially artifacts, will definitely have divinity.

That is the key to why artifacts are artifacts.

Of course, artifacts cannot be obtained casually.

But at least there is a way to think of it. After all, many artifacts are not in the hands of the gods, but in the hands of mortals. Some of them have even been lost and are gathering dust in some abandoned dungeon.

It's fine now. Before I could look for it myself, something came to my door.

But you don't need to ask to know that Valon will definitely not allow himself to directly touch this weapon. After all, he has not seen the ability to destroy evil with his own eyes.

All I know about myself is from the letters between Darnell and August.

Step by step, as long as everything else is resolved, don't worry if the other party doesn't take the initiative to bring it up.

Gavin said relatively conservatively: "Although I have had experience in destroying several evil weapons in the past, it was only when I knew the basics. Wait a moment, and I would like to ask the Grand Judge to explain their capabilities and origins in detail. , it is best to find matching attachments so that they can achieve maximum effectiveness.

To be on the safe side, we’ll start with the cheapest and weakest. "

"Why don't we start with these." It was Darnell who spoke, pointing to the three brooms. "These three beating brooms were seized from a swamp hag. Although they are not the least valuable here, they are It is also the most useless.

If you use the identification spell on them, it will show that it is a flying broomstick, but when the actual equipment is used, it will activate, knock the user out of the sky, and attack the user.

If you are hit by the broom, you may be blinded for a round. "

After listening to Daniel's introduction, Gavin, who was already unsure, became even more unsure.

Whether it is the deformed golden crown or the evil god badge ring.

Although they are evil, their abilities are very biased.

You can just make a guess based on this bias.

But these three brooms in front of you sound chaotic.

It's not evil, but a production failure, with magical effects that shouldn't exist.

Whether I can destroy these magic items by destroying evil is a question.

If they are destroyed, whether I can extract useful properties from them is another new question, after all, the next step is not within my control.

Seeing that Gavin didn't speak, Daniel took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Gavin, do you have any other questions?"
