Chapter 1166 Synchronization
Clark didn't seem to want to see the sad look of the young mage in front of him, so he deliberately changed the topic to a lighter one.
"Brother Joan, we are not followers of Kostchurch, let alone the bloodline descendants of the demon king. Even if we get his spirit collar, we will not be able to exert the power of this artifact immediately."
"Fortunately, this artifact does not completely belong to Kostchurch. When he was still a mortal, he was subdued by the 'Witch King' Baba Yaka, and he took a trace of his soul and sealed it in the collar, reshaping the collar the enchanting rules."
"Although we have no connection with Kostchurch, as long as we hold this collar for a long time and meet the conditions of attunement, we can still arouse the power of this artifact."
Clark pointed to the four gray bars on the inside of the collar and asked Joan to observe carefully.
"See these four horizontal lines? The accurate term is called 'coherence gauge'. When certain conditions are met, a horizontal line will change from gray to gold, indicating that the first stage of coherence has been completed, and you can initially activate the artifact The power of the collar."
"The 'synchronization meter' of the collar consists of four horizontal lines, which means that it takes four steps to complete all the attunement rituals. Every time a step is completed, the ability of the collar will be enhanced. When all four horizontal lines turn golden, all of this artifact The power will be at your disposal."
Joan is no stranger to the "synchronization ceremony" that Clark said. Many high-level magic tools need to meet the corresponding synchronization conditions to be fully effective, especially legendary magic tools and artifacts, almost all of which need to be attuned.
Joan's "Tears of God" actually has the condition of coherence. Every time the "Myth Trial" is completed, it is equivalent to reaching a stage of coherence, and the benefits obtained from the "Tears of God" will also increase.
Joann compared the "Tears of God" with the "Kostchurch Spirit Collar" which is also an artifact, and two questions naturally arose.
"Brother Clark, what are the attunement conditions for this artifact collar, and what kind of power will it have after the attunement is completed?" Joan inquired curiously.
"When the lord witch entrusted me to find the collar, I asked her the same question, but the lord witch only answered half of it."
Clark recalled the instructions of the Styx Witch for a moment, and then told Joan the truth.
"The first two attunements of the spirit collar can be accomplished by hunting giants or witches. The witch thinks that this weird attunement method is likely to be the manifestation of Kostchurch's strong resentment, because this abyss lord is becoming a demon prince. Before, the most hated were giants and women."
"It should be noted that the conditions required for coherence are not so harsh. There are no race restrictions for giants and witches. Killing giants of any race can promote coherence. As for witches... it is not specifically referring to Styx witches, as long as Just be a female spellcaster."
"As for the last attunement of the spirit collar, it must be carried out in 'Helheim'—that is, the divine kingdom 'Heim Underworld' of the 'Goddess of the Underworld' Hel. I don't know exactly how to do it. You'll know when you get to the Temple of the Styx, that temple is the entrance to Helm's Underworld."
After introducing the attunement method of "Kostchurch Spirit Collar", Clark then said to Joan:
"Only after the attunement is done can we know exactly what the function of the collar will be."
"Unfortunately, so far I haven't even completed the first stage of attunement. I just heard Mrs. Witch say in general that after completing the first stage of attunement, the collar holder can gain the benefit of resisting cold damage."
"For me, this function is useless, so before that, I didn't deliberately hunt giants or witches in order to complete the attunement."
Clark shrugged and changed the subject.
"Of course, this is a divine weapon after all, it is impossible to only have the function of resisting cold damage."
"My lord witch also said that after completing the second stage of coherence, you can use the magic power of this collar to restrain the frost giant. As for how to restrain it, I don't know."
"Brother Joan, I have to remind you that the 'Kostchurch Spirit Collar' can not only bring power to the owner, but also a terrible curse." Clark said seriously.
"Brother Clark, what does this curse refer to?" Joan asked in surprise.
"Do you remember the Snow Demon Wendigo? Anyone who holds this artifact collar, unless he worships Kostchurch like Trim, will be hunted down endlessly by the Snow Demon Wendigo!" Clark said seriously. Say the warning.
"But... Isn't the Snow Demon Wendigo already killed by you and Shrek?" Joan was very confused.
"The snow demon is transformed by Kostchurch's evil thoughts. Even if he is killed, he will not really die. After a year or so, at most two or three years, he will be resurrected and continue to hunt down the person holding the collar. .”
"Brother Joan, if you find yourself having frequent nightmares while keeping the collar, and dreaming of the Snow Demon Wendigo often, it means that this monster is about to come back to life."
The frost giant pressed the young mage's shoulder, emphasizing almost every word solemnly.
"If you notice these terrible signs, you must send the collar to the Styx Temple at the North Pole as soon as possible before the Snow Demon Wendigo finds you, and hand it over to the Witch!"
"Brother Joan, I know this is a hard job, and it is very dangerous, but now, I have no other choice but to ask you to fulfill this wish for me."
"Brother Clark, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your entrustment!" Joan solemnly promised.
Dawn dawned outside the window, rumbles came from the entrance of the town, and the ice colossus switched from castle mode to giant mode, showing its intention to completely destroy Elk Town.
Clark cast a wary glance out the window, then stood up.
"Brother Qiao An, the enemy is about to launch an attack. All I can do is to distract the enemy as much as possible and delay the time. As for you... Enter the secret passage now, and there is still time to catch up with the retreating team."
Joan doesn't plan to leave now, otherwise the people of Winterhold will soon find that Elk Town has become an empty city. It is not difficult to find the secret road. If you follow the secret road, people who have not gone far are still doomed .
However, in order to avoid Clark's worries, Joann did not tell his plan in person, but quickly made a series of spell-casting gestures.
"Brother Clark, don't go out in a hurry. Let me bless you with a few spells to increase your combat power, which can increase your chances of successful escape."
