Chapter 782: Ancient Equipment

Carefully recalling the other party's every move when entering Anka Manor, they suddenly discovered that the other party neither showed much surprise nor much excitement from beginning to end.

This is very different from the previous trialists - whether it is the young people from Sambia who came on their own initiative or the trialists they selected, they have been very excited since entering Anka Manor and are eager to obtain Anka's inheritance. Full of expectations.

When Gavin arrived, the situation was completely reversed. He did not actively seek for the other party to enter Anka Manor to start the trial, but they pushed the other party to go, giving people the impression that they could not wait to pass on Anka's inheritance. The feeling of giving away.

Gavin was so smart, he understood what was going on in an instant, and said solemnly: "I think the elders have misunderstood, and I don't mean any slight.

I am just stating my truest thoughts, because I am not doing this to gain inheritance, but I am prepared to do this..."

"Hahahaha..." Anka laughed loudly, "Sir Gavin, you don't need to explain. Your current situation is the most rare. It perfectly matches my inheritance. If I don't choose you, I think I will regret it for the rest of my life.

Brothers, there is no need to fight anymore, I have made a decision. From now on, he will be your new lord. I hope you can help him realize our dream. As long as it can continue, I will live forever. . "

As he spoke, Anka had floated to Gavin's side, "No matter how far you go in the future, I hope you will never forget your original intention today, and we will walk with you."

Then it turned into a shadow and penetrated directly into the shadow cloak behind Gavin.

"Now that the lord has made his choice, we will definitely follow him."

"We armed cloaks will always be with the lord."

"I am coming."

The ghosts of the cloaked warriors also stood up one after another, followed closely behind Anka, and submerged themselves into the ghost cloaks.

As the last cloaked warrior ghost disappeared, Gavin felt that the scenery in front of him changed again. There was no lord's hall in front of him, only stone coffins, placed in the same position as the previous ghosts.

have to.

Illusion.

Everything is an illusion, including the return to three hundred years ago, the battle with the Necromancer and the Dracolich, and the conversation and meeting with Anka and a group of ghost-cloaked warriors.

From beginning to end, Gavin didn't use any of his abilities at all.

wrong!

Not everything is fake.

Gavin immediately took off the ghost cloak behind him and saw that it was indeed the case.

Both sides of the ghost cloak were black, turning one side red and the other black. The magic fluctuations flashing on it were different from the original ones. It even had its own exclusive name, opening up a series of new abilities.

Ankh's legacy.

You have been recognized by Ankar and his caped warriors, and you have inherited their legacy. Their thoughts will always be with you. This equipment is your exclusive equipment and cannot be used by others.

Ankh's Legacy (Special Ability) - When the decisions you make are in the interests of the people in the valley, you will be able to gain the favor of more people in the valley, and more people in the valley will be willing to follow you.

When you do something that goes against the interests of the people in the valley, you will receive (1-36) D12 mental whiplash. This is real mental damage, ignoring all damage reduction. The severity of the whiplash is closely related to the nature of the matter.

The favorability of all Sambia people will be greatly reduced. The better and louder your reputation in the valley, the lower your reputation in the Kingdom of Sambia.

The favorability of the Dragon Cult towards you is reduced by one.

Granting the title of Caped Warrior (Special Ability) - For every hundred people who recognize you, you can grant the title of Caped Warrior to a soldier. This soldier will gain the characteristics of loyalty and bravery, and they will move forward bravely when facing danger. , it is easier to resist various temptations, especially the coercion and inducement from Sambian businessmen. They will have a great advantage. This ability is only effective for people who have survived in the valley for more than ten years.

Exclusive equipment (special ability) - This equipment is exclusive to you. Others cannot use Ankh's legacy and title of caped warrior to grant abilities. Although it will be broken and can be destroyed, it will repair or reshape itself after a few days. .

Shadow Walking (Special Ability) - You can use Shadow Walking three times a day. The effect is equivalent to the spell of the same name. The duration is 1 hour/professional level. The target is the creature it touches/each level. This spell must be in a dim environment. When cast, you and the subject will follow the path formed by the shadow and enter the junction of the material plane and the shadow plane. Your movement speed here will be increased five times.

Spiritualization (Special Ability) - If you wear the cloak inside out with the black side facing out, you can enter the ghost state as long as you are in the shadow. In this state, you can only walk, cannot run, sprint, or launch attacks. This ability can be used at will.

Ancient equipment.

This is clearly an ancient piece of equipment.

There are many types of items in Faerûn.

One type is mundane objects, which are the most ordinary items that do not involve any magic. Their upper limit in all aspects is limited by the laws of physics.

When this restriction is broken, magic items are divided into five levels according to their own quality, from +1 to +5. As the level increases, the abilities they have will naturally become more powerful and diverse.

Above +5, new branches begin to appear. If it is just to strengthen magic attributes, it is legendary equipment. Whether it is +6 or +8, they are just more powerful magic items, and they are still mundane magic items in essence. .

But once it is injected with divine power, even if it is only +6, it will transform into an artifact, although it is only a sub-artifact.

In terms of overall attributes, artifacts are not necessarily more powerful than legendary equipment, but the exclusive abilities of artifacts are usually extremely powerful.

Between legendary equipment and artifacts, there is another type of equipment, which is legendary equipment.

This kind of equipment is essentially legendary equipment, but it has certain characteristics of an artifact, absorbing faith and belief for its own use, and even making itself stronger.

But it doesn't have the divine power injected by the gods, so it can't be considered a divine weapon.

Behind every legendary piece of ancient equipment, there is bound to be a historical story that has been sung for a long time and is widely recognized in a certain region. Therefore, this kind of equipment has a strong regional symbol and is no less rare than an artifact.

This characteristic means that in a certain area, it is comparable to an artifact and even has special abilities that are not possessed by artifacts. Outside of this area, it will be worthless.

This is obviously the case with Ankh's inheritance now.

Shadow cloaking and spiritual transformation are the abilities of the Shadow Cloak itself, but they have been further strengthened. Ordinary shadow cloaks can only cast shadow walking once a day, and they can only be used on themselves, and there is no way to bring others with them. .

Ankh's legacy, the title of Caped Warrior, and exclusive equipment are the newly opened abilities.

The core ability is naturally Anka's legacy.

This ability is a goodwill amplifier, which will make your development in the valley twice the result with half the effort, make it easier to win people's hearts, and make some plans easier to carry out.

As for the series of side effects of this ability, Gavin ignored them.

The valley will be an important foundation for me. It’s too late for me to benefit the people in the valley. How can I make a foolish decision that harms the people in the valley?

As for attracting the hatred of the Sambia Kingdom and the Dragon Worship Cult, it was inevitable.

Make friends at a distance and attack at close range.

The geographical location of the two destined them to be competitors and enemies, and it is impossible for them to become close partners.

As for the Dragon Cult, even if the two sides do not conflict now, Gavin will take the initiative to cause trouble for them after Gavin completes his layout in the valley, because this cult organization, under the leadership of their founder Sammaster, will Ten years later, the Dragon Madness War began.

This is also a disaster that affects most of Faerûn. The dragons affected by the dragon's madness will wake up from their slumber and violently destroy everything around them, including those kind-hearted metal dragons and neutral gems. dragon.

The title of Caped Warrior gives this ability, which is an ability that every lord likes and loves. Who doesn't like subordinates with loyalty and bravery attributes?

Especially when facing those merchants in the Kingdom of Sambia who are good at corrupting their enemies with money, this noble quality is more useful. Compared with their own possessions, this kind of binding ability given by magic is more trustworthy.

This ability is a typical pseudo-belief ability, which is closely related to the number of people who support you. Rather than giving these soldiers this noble quality, it is better to say that the beliefs and beliefs of the people who support and trust you are blessed by the owner.

In other words, this ability will expand with the expansion of one's own strength, and will complement one's plan in the valley. It will be truly finalized when one becomes the true king of the valley.

This is another characteristic of legendary equipment - its growability.

Exclusive equipment characteristics, just like the indestructible characteristics of artifacts, are possessed by legendary equipment, which means that they have been separated from ordinary equipment and integrated with beliefs.

Faith is immortal and equipment is not destroyed.

As long as the people of the valley still believe in Anka's unification of the valley, Anka's inheritance will exist. Even if Gavin fails and his soul is gone, it will find a new inheritor.

This is how the ancient equipment that has been passed down to the world come from.

"I knew you could do it." A perfect face with a bright smile appeared in front of Gavin. Who else could it be if it wasn't Regina?

"I need to thank you and the lord for this. If it weren't for your selfless recommendation, I would never have the chance to inherit." Gavin sincerely thanked me.

Regina was the one pulling the strings in this matter from beginning to end, including the one who sent her information to Anka and the undead. Ninety-nine percent of it was her, not Lord Ilmet.

"I just did what I should do." The excitement flashed in Regina's expression, just like it was not Gavin but her who received Anka's legacy. "This is what you deserve. If you Without making a series of extraordinary actions before, even if I wanted to introduce you to the cloaked king, there would be nothing to say. From now on, everything you do in the valley will be upright. When you raise Ankh's flag, there will be countless people from the valley who are willing to gather under your tent and serve you."

Gavin shook his head and said: "The timing is not right. Raising the flag hastily will easily misunderstand many people in the valley. After all, Lord Scarred Gulashan has learned from the past. Many people are now not full of expectations for the unification of the valley, but fear and fear." "Disgusting, let's first unite other valleys around the Battle Valley to seek common development. When the time is right, it won't be too late to take Ankh's banner."

He would not easily change his development plan for the sake of an ancient man from three hundred years ago.

The time to unify the valley is not yet ripe. To succeed, the time, location, and people must be perfect. If any of the three are lacking, it is possible to follow in the footsteps of Lord Anka and Rashan.

Tianshi is the overall situation of the entire Faerûn continent, which requires a complete and unified valley.

Due to the favorable geographical location, the three major external forces that hinder the unification of the valley, the Kingdom of Sambia, the Zhentarim and the Kingdom of Cormyr, are overwhelmed by themselves. They don’t need all of them, just two. If this is the case with all three, then there will be no need for them. Nothing better.

Human harmony requires Gavin to have the highest reputation and connections in the valley, even far surpassing Anka's reputation and connections.

To put it bluntly, Gavin and the others do not possess all three of them now. Even the last one. Gavin can at best be in Battle Valley, Misty Valley, Deep Forest Valley, Feather Valley and Plowing Valley. These once had direct or indirect intersections. He is a little famous in the valley, but there is still a long way to go before he can be answered by a hundred people.

Valleys such as High Valley, Bow Valley, Taser Valley, Shadow Valley, Dagger Valley, and Scar Valley, which have not yet had much intersection, are probably only heard of at best. Even with the blessing of the Ankh inheritance, they will not be able to play a significant role. Quite limited.

Three centuries is a long time even for those long-lived species, let alone short-lived species like humans. This is enough for them to pass on to more than ten generations.

Many times, legends and stories are just legends. How many people will really take them seriously?

With a legendary story that has been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, you want to attract a response from others. It is an unrealistic fantasy story that can only be found in biographical novels.

In reality, I'm afraid only a few people can respond. I'll just treat you as a chuunibyou.

But if you have extraordinary status and reputation, if the cassock of legends is added to you, it is equivalent to being plated with a layer of gold, and your whole person will shine with gold, so that you can maximize its value.

"You are as calm and rational as ever, and I think so too." Regina's beautiful eyes were full of cunning, "But we can build momentum in advance, just like we did in Dalauma before, through some Obscure hints, gossips, and speculations will bury the seeds of you as the heir of Ankh's legacy deep into the hearts of those valley people. When the rain and dew of the grace you created for them comes, they will take root and sprout. Wait until the time you say. When the time comes, everything will fall into place.”

As always, Regina started with her best professional mouth.

She was not as deep as Gavin thought, but in the past six months, she had benefited from the publicity and instinctively wanted to maximize the benefits of this matter.

"Madam's ideas in this regard are as professional and original as ever." Gavin took the opportunity to extend an olive branch and said, "It's just that our previous cooperation was too limited, and what we want to plan in the future is not just one city or one pool, but the entire Valley, need to bring all the forces together.

So, I would like to invite ladies to join us.

I plan to set up a propaganda department to not only ensure that internal ideological construction is synchronized with the development of our territory, but also to launch an external propaganda offensive to let more people know about us, be willing to cooperate with us, join our ranks, and achieve unparalleled results. The purpose of defeating others in battle.

Of all the people I know, women are the most suitable candidates. "

The migration journey of the conquerors' army was about to end, but their preparations to take root and build in the valley had just begun.

Although Gavin intends to maintain the integrity of the conqueror's army, the management model will inevitably be different from the original completely military management, but will transform into a semi-military and semi-territorial model. When it truly transforms into a territorial model, it will also be The moment they took root.

At that time, all aspects must be transformed and further improved. The propaganda department he mentioned is just one of his many imagined departments.

"It's too early to talk about this matter now." Regina showed a mysterious smile, "Do you think Anka's legacy is just as simple as getting Anka's approval?"

"You mean, Anka still has a legacy?" Gavin asked in surprise. He thought that the so-called Anka legacy refers to this ancient equipment and the warning about the Dragon Witch Cult.

Regina asked without answering: "Do you still remember the rumors about Anka Manor outside?"

"Whoever obtains Anka's legacy will be the real master of the Battle Valley, and who will become the new lord of the Battle Valley..." Gavin couldn't help but stop at the end of his sentence, his eyes showing disbelief, and he couldn't help but Zhu asked in surprise, "You mean that Lord Ilmet is going to give up his position as Lord to me?"

Seizing the position of Lord of Battle Valley is indeed the first step for Gavin to unify the valley.

But a plan is a plan after all. In this matter, he was somewhat in trouble. Although he didn't have much contact with Lord Ilmet, he had a lot of contact with Regina.

His rapid development in Battle Valley has a lot to do with their acquiescence and support.

When Gavin got into entanglements with Sambian merchants, Lord Ilmet stood silently behind him, helping him withstand part of the pressure, at least not through his identity as the lord of the Battle Valley. Looking for a little trouble.

His position as Sir Vizeme was even conferred by the other party.

If the other party has not made any obvious mistakes, toppling him down would be considered as insubordination, which would set a bad precedent for the whole matter.

But if the other party takes the initiative to abdicate the position of lord to him, that is another matter.
