Chapter 122: Talent - Helllord, Divine Artifact - Sacred Blood Bottle
Chapter 122: Talent - Helllord, Divine Artifact - Sacred Blood Bottle
Qin Muye returned to his territory and summoned Black Hand, instructing him to handle most of the rewards.
For example, Qin Muye used his designated reward +1 to select two special building blueprints. He naturally chose the Magic Wall and the Alchemy Tower.
These two structures are special because, once constructed, they can grow with the territory. As the territory's level increases, its range expands, and the Magic Wall will always remain at the edge of the territory, providing protection. However, there is one awkward aspect: there are no gates. Therefore, currently, entry and exit can only be achieved through flying magic. The Alchemy Tower, on the other hand, is a combination of a catapult tower and a lookout tower. It can store heavy weapons and expands along with the Magic Wall, roughly one tower every hundred meters. Unfortunately, it is a blank slate, and any heavy weapons need to be installed by oneself.
Of course, these structures can be upgraded, but the cost is not insignificant.
Qin Muye naturally used the Talent Enhancement Coupon for himself, as it represented a qualitative improvement for him.
However, he did not immediately use it. Instead, he first chose a self-selected Lord Talent.
- Bountiful Harvest: Food production in the territory +10%
- Fertile Land: All production in the territory +5%
- ...
The talents were decent, but unfortunately, they were all related to the territory and not to his profession or attributes.
However, as he continued scrolling through the list, he soon discovered a very peculiar talent.
- Helllord: You rule over a hellish plane in a different dimension. Hell power rank +1, territory's hell power adaptability +1.
- Note: This plane is not on the 9527th Magic Continent and requires the use of the Helllord Remnant. Please choose this talent with caution.
He knew about the Helllord Remnant; it was a page from the Book of Death, which had been scattered by the Celestial Enlightenment. He had naturally brought it back, as it contained a wealth of knowledge related to hell.
He had initially thought it would be useful only as a material, but it turned out to have this purpose.
Qin Muye paused for a moment, then took out the page from the Book of Death and copied all its contents.
During this process, he also opened the self-selected high-grade treasures.
Since he had five self-selected options, he chose survival-focused items this time: the Ring of Vitality, the Ring of Life, and the Vitality Blood Bottle.
He left the remaining two self-selected options to Black Hand, instructing him to find high-grade treasures useful for the territory's development.
These three high-grade treasures, when combined, formed the Divine Artifact, the Sacred Blood Bottle.
- Sacred Blood Bottle
- Rank: Divine Artifact
- Attributes:
- All heroes and troops' maximum HP increased (Territory Rank × 100%)
- All heroes and troops' maximum HP increased (Territory Rank × 1000 points)
- All heroes and troops' regeneration limit increased (Territory Rank × 100 points)
- All heroes and troops' daily HP limit +10
The Sacred Blood Bottle has only four attributes, but they are truly extraordinary. The percentage increase, the fixed value, and the regeneration are all significant. For example, Qin Muye's HP is no longer just 100%; it is now 400%. The exact amount of the increase is unclear, as heroes and lords display their HP as a percentage, unlike troops, which use a numerical value.
Additionally, the maximum HP increases daily. As long as the Sacred Blood Bottle is placed in the resource storage, all heroes, troops, and even Qin Muye can benefit from it.
However, there are limitations: it cannot cross servers. If Qin Muye goes into a dungeon, he must take the Sacred Blood Bottle with him to continue enjoying its benefits. Otherwise, it will not work, similar to how the Celestial Enlightenment's Evangelist cannot benefit the territory's creatures when accompanying Qin Muye into a dungeon.
However, if a trans-dimensional teleportation channel is opened to connect the two worlds, the benefits can continue.
With the Sacred Blood Bottle, the survival capabilities of his troops and heroes are significantly enhanced. While it is indeed overpowered, as a Divine Artifact, it would be a waste if it were not.
If he had enough, he would have exchanged for the Dragon King's Power, another Divine Artifact. He was certain that the True Dragon Emperor must have the Dragon King's Power, and the Fallen Noble might have the Ghost King's Cloak and the Curse Armor. Divine Artifacts are not unique; as long as one can exchange for or combine them, they can be obtained.
Without sufficient Divine Artifacts, these lords would not have such powerful means. Even if the combination formulas are unknown, there might be other intelligence sources.
Therefore, Qin Muye never felt that owning multiple divine artifacts would allow him to surpass the leading lords on the leaderboard. If he could do it, why couldn't others? He had just risen to prominence later.
Soon, he finished copying the knowledge from the Book of Death and decisively chose the Helllord talent, which also granted him Expert Hell Understanding and Expert Hell Mastery.
- Expert Hell Understanding: Hell magic power +4, consumption -4
- Expert Hell Mastery: Hell magic effect +20%
Just like the Crimson Ancestor, these seemed to be identity-type talents, which is why he received two special skills.
- Learning Ability: Gain 500% extra experience when earning experience
- Academic Research: Knowledge per level +20
- Crimson Ancestor: Crimson element rank +2, territory's crimson element adaptability +2
- Sprite Leader: All sprites under command have +2 morale, +10% health
- Sprite Commander: All sprites under command have +10% attack and +10% defense
- Sprite Trainer: Sprite recruitment quantity +10%, recruitment cost -10%
- Helllord: You rule over a hellish plane in a different dimension. Hell power rank +2, territory's hell power adaptability +2
"500%?" Qin Muye looked at his Learning Ability talent. The other talents' boosts were standard, just doubling, but Learning Ability was directly increased from 200% to 500%, an additional 100%.
However, the four skills—Crimson Understanding, Crimson Mastery, Hell Understanding, and Hell Mastery—did not receive a level boost. They remained at the expert level, suggesting that free upgrades were not so easy. At least, he would need to elevate his talents several more times to achieve that. After all, this was just one elevation.
Of course, he also gained a new hell magic spell, which was the old friend, Magic Arrow. Indeed, Magic Arrow was the strongest among all spells, appearing in every magic system.
"So now I have a problem. How do I move the hell from the Horror Universe back to the Magic Continent?"
This was a different dimension, not a building. Even a trans-dimensional teleportation channel might struggle with this task.
"Alright, moving my territory into hell is much simpler than moving hell into my territory."
Qin Muye currently lacked the corresponding spatial technology, though not entirely. He would need to study and research, such as the 5th-level air magic, Dimensional Gate, which involves spatial magic.
There were also various treasures like Teleportation Portals and Teleportation Steles, and Qin Muye's own trans-dimensional teleportation channel was a spatial treasure and a divine artifact.
Therefore, it wasn't impossible to research a method to separate the hell dimension from the Horror Universe. It was just that Qin Muye didn't have the time.
Even though he had returned, he still had a pile of things to handle, including researching his hell and territory while trading with the Hell Church and Inquisition in the Horror Universe, and studying the Blood Warrior technology in his territory.
Additionally, he had to research dragon vein sprites, floating cities, self-magic modifications, the development of crimson elements and hell power, and the creation of new military equipment.
Sometimes he even thought about splitting himself in half to see if the Sacred Blood Bottle's regeneration could make him two people.
Fortunately, his rationality prevailed, and he didn't really try it. He felt that even if he did, it was unlikely to make him two people; instead, his upper body would likely regrow the lower half.
However, with his talents now boosted again, he would be much more efficient in learning and research, despite the many tasks.
"Once I get a Profession Expansion Coupon, I'll find a scholar-type rare profession."
Qin Muye didn't place much importance on his personal strength. He now had both crimson and hell power within him, essentially a large-scale nuclear weapon. If he were to unleash it, the Magic Continent would likely be destroyed.
So as long as he didn't want to die, no one would dare to provoke him. As for antisocial individuals? They would never even get close to him. He stayed hidden in his Mage Tower, and once the Mage Tower became a floating city, he would move it into his hell, ensuring absolute safety.
After that, he would analyze the Blood Warrior technology. At that point, he would no longer be on the same level as other lords. While they were still competing with each other, Qin Muye would take his hell and floating city into space.
