For example, "Shadow Grip" was obviously a weaker version of Gloria's "Death Grip" skill. As for "Shadow Infusion", Bai Xiaowen remembered that when Gloria was promoted to a Lord, she had obtained a skill called "Death Infusion". He could tell the connection from the name alone.
"The Kingdom of Death is still poor. In order to fill the treasury, even Lord Gloria has to make scrolls and sell them …" Li Shuyi exhaled.
"This item seems good," Bai Xiaowen said suddenly as he flipped to the end of the list.
[Enslavement Spell: S-grade item. Use on near-death creatures of Elite and below to forcibly enslave them and turn them into your slave. If the target creature agrees to be enslaved, it does not need to enter a near-death state. Disappears after use. Requires 4,500 Merit Points.]
"It is indeed good. Although a slave does not enjoy the various bonuses of its master, it is still a combat force. An item that can permanently increase the combat power of an Elite class is worthy of an S-grade item, "Qiao Rui commented.
A slave was similar to the "follower" mentioned earlier, but there were subtle differences. Other than the fact that the slave did not enjoy the bonuses of its master and that the master could kill it with a single thought, the master could observe the slave's thoughts, emotions, and mental thoughts with a single thought. It could be said that the slave had no privacy. This was the difference between a slave and a follower.
Bai Xiaowen calculated the Kingdom of Death Merit Points that the team had accumulated so far.
After completing the A-grade Hero Mission: Battle of Silver Star Island and the Lord Mission: The Rise of the Death Lord, plus the Merit Points accumulated from killing enemies, the White Phoenix team now had 9,755 Merit Points on their account.
Bai Xiaowen first exchanged for a "Enslavement Spell" and a "Shadow Infusion Scroll", spending 6,500 Merit Points.
Bai Xiaowen used the remaining 3,000 Merit Points to exchange for some special materials.
[Ancient Dragon Bone * 2: Spoils of war excavated from the Tomb of the Giant Dragon, a special crafting material. Please contact a skilled blacksmith to learn more about the uses of this item.]
[Frost Iron * 10: A specialty of Silver Star Island, a crafting material. Please contact the blacksmith to learn more about the uses of this item.]
The reason why they exchanged for these materials was because the White Phoenix team had obtained a giant jawbone after killing the Flesh Devouring Colossus. It could be given to the blacksmith to forge equipment. Bai Xiaowen had always thought much further than that. It was not realistic to forge a piece of Giant Jawbone into a piece of equipment. He would need some supplementary materials.
Although Dragon Bones and Frost Patterned Iron might not necessarily be used as supplementary materials for crafting equipment, the White Phoenix squad had plenty of storage space. It would definitely not be wrong to stock up on some crafting materials.
Unfortunately, the most powerful blacksmith on Silver Star Island, now called Noscent, had been killed by Gloria. As Bai Xiaowen did not participate in the attack, he could not even collect Gloria's soul. Otherwise, he could have let Gloria take a look at the giant jaw.
However, even though Guramani had died, his two young apprentices had survived. The two of them were very weak and had no intention of avenging Guramani. They could not escape Noscent Island, and they were unwilling to join Scholomance, so they hid in Silver Star City.
However, in less than three days, the two of them were exposed by the new students of Scholomance, who were eager to make contributions. They were escorted to Bai Xiaowen. Bai Xiaowen did not say much, and the two young apprentices were terrified and expressed their willingness to join Scholomance.
Bai Xiaowen took out the giant jawbone and showed it to them.
"With your experience, what kind of equipment can you make from this?"
The two apprentices said awkwardly, "We have not learned from Mr. Guramani yet."
It's okay, just take a look and give some suggestions, Bai Xiaowen thought to himself. He was still worried about getting this from their leader (?) The crafting materials were given to the two apprentices to practice on.
One of the apprentices bravely said, "This bone is naturally shaped like a giant scythe. If the teeth attached to it are removed and the edges are sharpened, it will become a giant bone scythe."
The other apprentice had a different opinion. "The teeth on the bone itself are rare weapons, it would be a waste to remove them. The end of the bone should be polished and inlaid with a metal blade. Then the main body of the bone should be reinforced with metal to make a Bone Tooth Heavy Sword. Its attack power would definitely be shocking, and it would also have some special effects. "
The first apprentice shook his head. "This way, the weapon would be too heavy. I'm afraid it would be difficult for anyone to use it."
"Okay, you don't need to argue."
Bai Xiaowen nodded with satisfaction. These two apprentices were already impatient to prove their worth. This was naturally very good. The Kingdom of Death was in urgent need of such talents with specialized skills. Although these two were ugly, if they were given good treatment, other Noscent humans with specialized skills would naturally be attracted to join Scholomance.
"In view of your specialized abilities, I've decided to make an exception and promote you two by two levels. Work hard and forge better and more durable weapons for the army. Your status will keep rising, "Bai Xiaowen said.
The two apprentices uneasily thanked him and then walked out of the manor under Bai Xiaowen's signal. They still didn't understand the significance of being a level 3 student, but they would understand once they understood the details of Scholomance.
In the hallway, the two met other new students of Scholomance. After chatting, the two talked about their status as level 3 students. The other side had a startled and incredulous expression, as well as having to follow the etiquette of a lower level student bowing to a higher level student. This made the two Blacksmith Apprentices secretly happy.
Bai Xiaowen still had a few hundred merit points left, but he wasn't in a hurry to spend them all. Noscent wasn't a place where one could just grab a handful and leave. Because of the C-grade Gold Item: Call of the North, the White Phoenix Squad and Gloria already had a close relationship with Noscent. They would come again in the future. At that time, there might be more rare specialties from various places on the merit points exchange list.
With the completion of the Lord Level Quest, Bai Xiaowen's experience bar also welcomed another large increase. He was now at level 6 with 94% experience! In other words, after coming out of the tomb and completing the "Rise of the Death Lord" quest, Bai Xiaowen received a total of 35% experience increase. This was the experience of a Hero class.
Qiao Rui had been stuck at level 6 for a long time. After eating this experience pack, she directly reached level 6 with 100% experience and could now reach level 7.
Of course, she wasn't in a hurry to reach level 7. She could wait until the next time she entered a new plane.
Li Shuyi felt that she was too weak. She was already at level 6 with 100% experience. If she didn't level up, she wouldn't be able to enjoy such a rich experience pack. This was equivalent to more than half a level for an Elite class (at level 6).
But this couldn't be helped. Everything had to make way for the Hero's Trial.
In addition, after completing the Death Lord Level Quest, the White Phoenix Squad's experience bar was directly filled. It had to be said that the final A-grade Hero Quest, the Battle of Silver Star Island, and the Lord Level Quest had rewarded the squad with a lot of experience.
Bai Xiaowen directly chose to upgrade the squad to level 4. Current experience bar: Level Elite Squad. There were improvements in all aspects.
The squad's passive skill "Brutality" was upgraded to level 4. There were no additional effects, but the increase in critical hit rate was increased to 10%.
The squad's active skill "Traction" was upgraded to level 4. The traction range was still 150 meters, and the cooldown was reduced to 6 hours and 30 minutes.
The last and most important upgrade was the addition of a permanent member to the squad!
Bai Xiaowen directly invited Qiao Rui to become a permanent member, and the latter agreed without hesitation.
At this point, the White Phoenix Squad had three official members, and Qiao Rui's temporary member spot was still there. In other words, Bai Xiaowen could invite other Metahumans to be temporary teammates and explore the Spiritual World together.
A luxurious squad with two Hero Professions and a Rare Elite. The temporary member spot was very tempting. It was practically a shining thigh accessory! But Bai Xiaowen, Qiao Rui, and Li Shuyi discussed and decided not to spread the news.
Having too many members in the squad also had its drawbacks. When they killed the Boss, their rating would drop. Now that the three-man squad had killed a Level 7 Boss, their rating had dropped to Level C. If it was a four-man squad, their rating would obviously drop even further. At that time, there would be too many people and too little porridge, and it would be difficult to distribute them.
Finally, Bai Xiaowen went to find Gloria. This new Black Knight Lord did not stay in the city's Lord's Mansion. Instead, she lived alone on the peak of a snowy mountain with Sindagosa.
The advantage of being an undead creature of the Corpse Demon race was that they did not need to eat or breathe.
In order to please his master, the Lich Bard ordered the defeated soldiers of Silver Star City to help excavate the snowy mountain and build stone stairs. This flattering Lich even proposed to flatten the peak of the mountain and build a palace for Lady Gloria, but Gloria refused.
On the contrary, Bai Xiaowen's bad taste flared up. He proposed to carve a throne for Gloria at the peak of the mountain, which was tacitly approved by Gloria. Soon, a forbidden area called the "Frozen Throne" was born in Noscent.
The White Phoenix squad walked up the stone stairs to the top of the mountain and unexpectedly found a living person on the Frozen Throne. It was the little girl called Sonia.
Gloria stood at the edge of the cliff with her arms crossed. She faced the bottomless cliff and the cold wind that surged between the cliffs, as if she was thinking about life. Behind her, the little girl Sonia was drawing circles with a sad face. To be precise, she was tracing the trajectory of a spell.
"What a surprise. I didn't expect you to be willing to communicate with the living." Bai Xiaowen's voice sounded. Qiao Rui pulled on Li Shuyi and waited on the stone stairs at the entrance of the Frozen Throne.
Gloria did not turn her head and indifferently said, "This little girl has the potential to learn Necromancy, I'm just teaching her some basic things."
"Okay, I came to say goodbye. As outsiders, we can't stay in the Aaron Plane for too long. The time limit for returning is already up, "Bai Xiaowen said.
Gloria paused for a second and turned around.
"You … Have you ever thought of joining us?"
Gloria's ice-blue eyes were unblinkingly staring at Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen was slightly surprised, but he immediately interrupted with a smile, "I'm a member of the Death Kingdom."
A hint of disappointment appeared in Gloria's eyes, but she quickly hid it. She snorted softly and said, "Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say that."
Bai Xiaowen secretly exclaimed that it was a close call. He did not want to be an undead creature. It was cold and boring. Even if he could "live" forever and had many benefits such as not sleeping, not eating, and not drinking, he would lose a lot of fun. In addition, if he became an undead, it was unknown whether he could still retain his identity as an Awakened.
"I'm leaving. You … Take care. If you encounter any problems, you can call me through the contract. "Bai Xiaowen originally wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, he did not say much.
Gloria's cloak whirled, and she faced the cliff again in silence.
Bai Xiaowen was secretly surprised. After becoming an undead creature, Gloria still had such rich and delicate feelings? It was a little surprising. However, he did not think too much about it. After looking at Qiao Rui and Li Shuyi and nodded, he chose to return.
…
A white light flashed, and Bai Xiaowen and the other two came to the checkout interface. It was a boundless starry sky.
Scenes flashed by quickly.
The surprise attack on the North County City, the exploration of the mausoleum, the killing of the Archmage Kevin … The scene at the Light Pass was missing. It directly jumped to the battle at the Dragon's Tomb, and then the battle at Silver Star Island … The last scene was fixed at the moment when the Flesh Devouring Colossus fell.
"Exploration Plane: Aaron World."
"Time used: 14 days, 22 hours, 23 minutes, 44 seconds."
"Range: Northern Territory of the Lionheart Empire, Aelu Territory, Pointed Helmet Territory, North County Territory, Silver Star Territory (Northrend)."
"Based on the missions and evaluations you have discovered and completed, you have received a reward of 32116 psionic energy points. Current total psionic energy points: 341,569 points. "
"You have accumulated 7909 points of fame in the Aaron Plane. Your fame in the Aaron Plane is Class A (Famous Throughout the World). "
"You have received the Class A title: Pioneer of the Undead."
[Pioneer of the Undead: You lead the resurrection of the dead. You are the disaster of the apocalypse. Wearing this title will increase the favorability of all undead, demons, and ghosts by 1 level, but the favorability of all living beings will decrease by 1 level. All damage you deal to living beings will increase by 15%, and all damage dealt to you by living beings will increase by 15%.]
"Emmm …"
Bai Xiaowen pondered for a few seconds. "This title is not bad. It's very practical."
Qiao Rui said, "Wearing this title will basically mean that you can only join the undead camp. The undead have a hidden hostile relationship with us humans. Increasing it by 1 level can make them indifferent. At least, they will not directly attack us, and there is a possibility of opening a mission. And living beings are neutral to us. Decreasing it by 1 level will also make them indifferent. "
