Chapter 3023 Return of the Artifact
After hearing from Rhodes the choice that was currently troubling him, Moriel just smiled and said, "I know what bothers you so much. It turns out to be something like this."
Rhodes raised his eyebrows. Regarding the doubts that troubled him, Moriel showed a completely different side from Rhodes. It seemed that it was not a trouble at all.
Moriel's uncharacteristic reaction undoubtedly attracted Rhode's attention. Apparently, she had some insights into Rhode's field selection when he was promoted.
"In your opinion, which field should I choose as the core field for promotion to demigod?" Rhodes asked. There is no room for negligence in the choice of field, which is very likely to completely affect Rhodes' future power. , now seeing that Moriel seemed to have other ideas, Rhodes couldn't help but take the initiative to ask.
Facing Rhodes' inquiry, Moriel, who was in human form, just rolled her eyes at him: "Time will naturally tell you the final answer. Rather than letting others tell you, it is better to let you tell yourself in different times."
Hearing Moriel's suggestion, Rhodes was slightly startled, and then he understood what she meant, and his eyes lit up.
With the existence of the Time Domain, Rhodes can clearly see the results of those two completely different choices. That is a treatment that no one else has. Only time can prove to Rhodes which choice is the best. Optimal solution.
The power belonging to the time domain can not only provide Rhodes with inexhaustible experience points, but more importantly, Rhodes can also find an absolutely correct path in the originally chaotic time, just like Moriel. as done.
Once upon a time, the Time Realm brought unimaginable trouble to Rhodes. He didn't know how to deal with the power to manipulate time. But at this moment, when that power becomes his boost, he can also enjoy treatment that others cannot imagine, and all the current problems will be solved with the power of the time domain.
Even if he chooses the wrong domain as the core of power for the demigod level, it doesn't matter to Rhodes. As long as the time domain operates again, Rhodes can go back to the past and completely make up for that mistake.
Thinking of this, Rhodes no longer has any worries in his heart, and is ready to first use the Death Domain, which has benefited him a lot, as the core of the demigod's power. If it is found that the Death Domain is not as powerful as he thought, he will Can change this choice from the past.
Just when Rhodes was about to leave first, Moriel suddenly stopped him.
"What's wrong?" Rhodes asked with some confusion, not understanding what else Moriel had to do.
As Rhodes turned his eyes, the moment his eyes fell on Moriel, his enhanced peeping eyes were involuntarily activated. With the help of that heroic specialty, Rhodes also sensed the depths of Moriel's heart. As he thought, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Moriel didn't notice anything unusual about Rhodes, and just said: "In the previous battle, I transformed into the form of the big red dragon. I wanted to use the power of the artifact to repel the enemy in one fell swoop, but a helpless scene happened. .”
As she spoke, Moriel stretched out her hand. On her ring finger was the magical dragon-turning ring that Kalunda had spent a lot of rare materials forging, which once drained the national treasury. On her right hand, she was holding a pair of dark red mighty rings. The armor was clearly the dragon's divine weapon, the Dragon King's divine power.
"When I maintain my human body, these two artifacts can still coexist, but when I transform into the big red dragon again, these two artifacts will conflict. Only the power of one artifact can take effect at the same time."
Moriel said slowly. Following Moriel's words, Rhodes couldn't help but cast his eyes on the two artifacts in her hands.
For ordinary people to obtain an artifact, it is already the result of fate's favor. The power of an artifact alone is enough for people to embark on a completely different road. As the doomsday overlord, Moriel, like Rhodes, has There is not just one artifact at all, but three.
Among the three artifacts equipped by Rhodes, the Titan Arrow occupies the main and off-hand weapons, as well as the armor and helmet slots, the Ghost King Cloak occupies the boots, cloak and necklace slots, and the magic source occupies the three pendant slots. Although three combined artifacts are equipped at the same time, the equipment slots occupied by each other do not conflict. Rhodes can also exert the full power of the three artifacts at the same time.
However, when this situation came to Moriel, some problems arose. When Moriel only had two artifacts, namely the Dragon's Blood Bottle and the Dragon King's Divine Power, these two artifacts would not conflict on the equipment list. However, when Rhodes ordered Kalunda to create the Dragon Transformation Ring, and put these two artifacts into the equipment list. After an artifact was given to Moriel, a problem arose. Moriel was unable to exert the power of the Dragon King and the Dragon Transformation Ring at the same time.
When Moriel was still in human form, this problem would not be exposed, but when Moriel transformed into the big red dragon again, the problem was suddenly clear.
Perhaps considering the conflict between artifacts, Kalunda specially gave it a feature when forging the Dragon Transformation Ring. When the wearer is in human form, the Dragon Transformation Ring will not occupy any equipment slots. In other words, Moriel in human form can use the power of the Dragon Ring and the Dragon King's power at the same time.
However, when Moriel transformed into the big red dragon again, the problem became apparent. Two artifacts were clearly in front of her, but she could only exert the power of one of them.
Rhodes, who had checked the properties of the Dragon Transformation Ring beforehand, also understood the problem. Seeing Moriel looking at him with a look of blame, Rhodes could only scratch his head and said: "If you maintain the human form, The power of these two artifacts should not conflict."
"I know, but do you expect me to fight in my weak human form? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't go back to my weak human body." Moriel snorted and said to Rhodes Somewhat dissatisfied.
Seeing this, Rhodes could only cough dryly. Of course, he knew that Moriel's words were true. Moriel, who had long abandoned her weak human body and transformed into the powerful red dragon, became a human again. It was all for him, but Rhodes had no way to change the artifact that had been forged, so he had to propose:
"How about this, wait until your power of time has recovered a little, and then let me go back to the time before the wedding celebration to create the dragon ring. I will ask Kalunda to pay special attention when casting the dragon ring and try to avoid Let it conflict with the Dragon King’s divine power.”
Facing Rhode's proposal, Moriel snorted slightly, but her eyes gradually softened, which also showed that she was very satisfied with Rhode's attitude: "You want to go back to before the wedding and let the butterfly effect affect everything after that. Or is it that the obstruction from the power of fate hasn't made you suffer enough? I told you that the time before that has completely passed, and even I don't want to go back to before the wedding to avoid being plotted by the power of fate. .”
Rhodes nodded. Although the Time Domain is powerful, it is not without any limitations. The power of destiny comes from the clouds, but it always wants to completely remove the power of time. If I go back to the time before the wedding, I am afraid that I will be subject to all kinds of calculations by fate.
Because of this, Moriel has already told Rhodes that even she will try her best to avoid going back to the time before the wedding. Unless things really reach an irreversible point, the return of the time domain is limited to the two people completing the wedding. In the future, Rhodes will naturally not have any objections to this.
With their strength now at the level of Rhodes and Moriel, even if the Power of Destiny uses its most powerful angel army or even plots against them, it cannot truly threaten their lives. Instead, they rashly return to the distant past. , are more susceptible to fate's calculations.
Of course, this choice has its pros and cons. Not going back to before the wedding means that fate cannot create a gap between the two of Rhodes and kill them in the past. The downside is that Rhodes can't change it either. Some regrets from the past, but that's not all bad.
Not long ago, Rhodes could not feel the power of the seventh-level profession Elemental Lord that he was promoted to, and regarded it as a very weak profession. However, as Rhodes' character level increased, The true excellence of the Elemental Lord was fully revealed in front of Rhodes. If Rhodes had changed the seventh-level profession earlier in time, he might not be able to feel the power of the Elemental Lord at all.
As time continues to advance, those so-called bad things that we regretted in the past will eventually turn into good things that ordinary people cannot even ask for.
Thinking of this, Rhodes looked at the dragon-turning ring in Moriel's hand again:
"If it doesn't work, I can only ask Kalunda to make another ring for you... However, in order to make the dragon ring, all the fine gold and black iron in the treasury have been exhausted, and I still owe some to the Freelance Chamber of Commerce. Debt, in the end, with the help of the Lord of the Earth Element, the final forging was completed."
After a pause, Rhodes added: "If we want to re-create a ring, it is obviously too late to collect those materials now. Unless we can conquer Erathia or Eri now, we will have to search the entire continent." We can’t get enough materials to forge the artifact.”
As Rhodes said, the forging of artifacts is not easy. It requires a lot of financial and material resources. Even so, the final forging result may not be successful.
Compared with those precious materials, the forger of the artifact is easier to find. Except for Kalunda, those alchemy masters on the mainland who are extremely skilled in craftsmanship may not be able to forge real artifacts if they have enough precious forging materials. It’s just that the materials needed to forge the artifact are hard to find.
Even if Rhodes conquers Brakada, the precious materials accumulated in the Snowy Region for hundreds of years will not be enough to forge a new artifact. There is still a lack of a large amount of forging materials, which is enough to illustrate the difficulty of forging artifacts. If it is replaced by other The people from the force are here, and if they want to forge a real artifact, they are afraid they will face more difficulties.
Even so, the yearning for the power of artifacts still inspires people to collect materials one after another, dreaming of forging a real artifact one day. No matter how many failures they experience in the forging process, they cannot dispel people's desire for artifacts.
At the end, Rhodes also turned his attention to the dragon-turning ring in Moriel's hand: "The precious materials previously used to forge the dragon-turning ring, and the various energies contained in them, are now concentrated in the ring in your hand. . If the Dragon Transformation Ring can be melted down and rebuilt, it may only need to add a few more materials to forge an artifact with completely new properties."
Just as Rhodes said, the core power of the fine gold and black iron that were as big as two hills were integrated into the Dragon Transformation Ring that Moriel was wearing. If the forged Dragon Transformation Ring could be If it is remade, I am afraid it can greatly shorten the time required for forging.
Melting down treasures containing powerful power to forge new artifacts is not something unfamiliar to Rhodes.
When he was trapped in Yin Dian's illusion before, Rhodes saw with his own eyes that Kalunda melted the three sacred objects of Vulcan Sword, Evil Shield, and Golden Armor, and used the terrifying power contained in these three sacred objects to Only then did the supreme sword Doomsday Blade be forged in one fell swoop. Although the power of the Dragon Transformation Ring is not as exaggerated as the three holy objects, if it is melted during the forging, it can save a lot of time and allow Moriel to get the ring with new properties earlier.
Just as Rhodes stretched out his hand, preparing to remove the dragon-turning ring from Moriel's hand and give it to Kalunda for recasting, his outstretched hand was pushed away by Moriel.
Rhodes looked confused, not understanding what Moriel meant by this, but he met Moriel's sullen eyes: "This is the ring you gave me, do you want to take it back?"
Rhodes' mouth twitched. He didn't understand why Moriel was angry about this matter, so he could only defend himself: "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to recast it and give you a new one..."
Even with the power of the Peeping Eye, Rhodes still couldn't detect Moriel's true thoughts on certain things, which made him very helpless. He didn't understand what Moriel was thinking or hoping. He melted down the Dragon Transformation Ring and recast a new one, but still kept the Dragon Transformation Ring in his hand.
Facing Rhode's explanation, Moriel refused to listen and turned her head to the side. As if feeling Rhode's helplessness, after a long time, Moriel threw the armor she was holding in her right hand over.
"Forget it... No matter what, the Dragon Transformation Ring is the ring you gave me. Even if its properties are a little worse, I still reluctantly keep it. But when I reincarnate into the big red dragon, the Dragon Transformation Ring will be the same as There is a conflict with the Dragon King’s divine power. In this case, I will give up the Dragon King’s divine power for the time being.”
Facing Rhode's somewhat stunned look, Moriel said slowly.
