Chapter 184 The old man's collection

The tasks follow the clues step by step, one link after another, just like playing a large RPG game.

This key is not ordinary, and the bank vault is probably not an ordinary place either. There may be some treasures or clues that are crucial to the plot. And according to the usual plot nature, major plot points will inevitably trigger a battle...

After learning the purpose of key zero, Zhou Ze was not in a hurry to go to that bank to find the vault.

His attention fell on the collection of the old man in the antique shop.

A marble statue of God Pan is placed next to an Italian piano in the late 18th century. In ancient Greek mythology, God Pan is a wild mountain god. I don’t know the significance of the old man’s collection of this statue.
In addition to the statue of Pan, there is also a female sculpture with four arms holding different weapons.

Based on Cleese's occult knowledge, this statue should be a small obsidian statue of Kali, the Hindu goddess of death. The bright colors fully restore her original appearance in a fighting posture.

There is also a painting of Norse mythology hanging on the wall.

It depicts Thor, naked and triumphant, striking the head of the world serpent Jormungandr in a storm.

In addition, there are many portraits and sculpture collections of other sects, so I won't list them one by one.

"This old man has quite a collection of mythological objects. Ancient Greek mythology, ancient Indian mythology, Norse mythology... anyone is welcome? There are some things that even Kles can't recognize."

Manipulate Chris to go around the antique shop and interact with most of the items.

Among them, the one that attracted his attention the most is without a doubt... the holy artifact!
That's right.

In addition to collecting keys and mythological works of various sects, the old man also collected many holy artifacts containing mysterious power!
Hindu sacred object: the face of Rahu, Greek sacred object: the eye of Argus, oriental sacred object: Dürer's severed palm, theological sacred object: the blood of St. Mercury... a rough count is beyond the number of ten fingers!
"This old man is so rich!"

Zhou Ze stared straight.

He didn't feel much when looking at other collections. Even if any of those sculptures and paintings could sell for sky-high prices, they still couldn't move his heart.

but!The holy artifact is different!
It took him half a month to clear the "Rite of Cthulhu" with great difficulty, and it took him so long to fight with Cthulhu and Amytheus before he got two flawless holy artifacts from the system, and one from the cruise ship. to a string of bangles on the Hallows.

I only have three sacred artifacts on hand now.

But the old man's collection in the shop contains twelve sacred artifacts! ! !

Zhou Ze was so envious that he wished he could simply rob this antique shop, or let Kleis sneak over in the middle of the night and sweep up all these sacred artifacts. How much more combat power could be increased by assembling all of them on his body?These holy artifacts can almost arm a person to the teeth!

"It seems that it is not enough to carry too many holy weapons with you. These are not flawless holy weapons. In addition to the mysterious power, there are corresponding curses."

Zhou Ze quickly woke up from his envy and excitement.

The more sacred artifacts are definitely not the better, but the more suitable the better. Both the efficacy and the curse need to weigh the pros and cons and make a choice.

Just like that string of penance bracelets, it is to exchange blood for accelerated mental recovery. It cannot be worn for a long time and can only be used for emergencies for a short time.

"Let me see if there are any of these sacred artifacts that can be used. At worst, spend some money to buy them from the old man."

Zhou Ze asked the protagonist to ask the old man about the functions of these holy artifacts.

The old man knew the effects of these holy artifacts, but he didn't know their curse...

If you want to know the curse of the sacred artifacts, someone must carry these sacred artifacts with you for a period of time before you have a chance to discover the price.

As for how to know?

Experience it yourself.

Just like penance bracelets, when you put on the bracelet, you will bleed, so you naturally know that the price is bleeding.

"You have to have a chance to discover the side effects after using it? This is too confusing. What if it is a price that is difficult to discover but is terrible? Wouldn't it always be undiscoverable? For example, like the power of exploding liver, the cost of deducting lifespan is estimated to be short-term. You won’t even notice it for half a while.”

Zhou Zedun felt a headache. If he wanted to gain the power of the holy artifact, dealing with its curse was a link that could not be ignored.

"If I didn't pay in advance, the old man would definitely not be willing to lend me the precious holy artifact. Without the curse as a criterion, no matter how good the sacred artifact is, I can't decide whether to buy it or not. "

If you can read the file, it’s fine, the big deal is to let the protagonist buy the holy artifact and then go back to buy another sacred artifact after learning about its curse, and continue to use the SL Dafa, and finally liver out all the side effects of the sacred artifact.

However, this game has a limit on the number of file loads...

Not only can't use SL Dafa, but also avoid bad files as much as possible.

After careful consideration, Zhou Ze soon had another idea.

"That's the only way to go, give the protagonist the gaze of the abyss."

In reality, Abyss Gaze can only be used to spy on the combat strength and weaknesses of creatures.

However, in the game, the effects of some special items can be detected, such as the effects of sacred objects and curses are within the scope of the effect of the gaze of the abyss, which may be related to the fact that curses are also a type of "abyss".

In fact, Zhou Ze had the idea of ​​giving Kress the abyss gaze as early as when he first met Ergouzi.

The value of the Abyss Gazing skill for gathering intelligence is undeniable.

Now not only can you know in advance how strong your opponent is, but you can also investigate the effects and side effects of the holy weapon, killing two birds with one stone.

[Do you want to spend 10 points of merit to grant '2-star skill: Abyss Gaze' to Kles? 】

Well... let's just use up the merit.

Zhou Ze plans to use the three free grant opportunities on the most expensive skills and items, such as granting a flawless holy weapon that costs 50 merit points, and the most valuable 2-star skill he currently has: Breath Control.

"Since you want to give it, give it a few more."

Originally, he kept the opportunity to grant it for free in order to wait for the protagonist to encounter something, what skills or items he needs to use before granting it to him, make the best use of everything, and prescribe the right medicine...

But so many times, he finally spent meritorious service.

Forget it, let's give it directly.

In addition to choosing Abyss Gaze, Zhou Ze also bestowed two flawless holy artifacts, the Dress of the Night and the Top Hat of the Night, to Kleiss, which are also the two most valuable treasures he has besides the Sumeru Secret Realm.

[Do you want to spend 50 points of merit to give Cress the 'Night Dress'? 】

[Do you want to spend 50 merit points to give the 'Twilight Hat' to Cress? 】

Consume free opportunities.

The two free grants were consumed, leaving only the last one, which was kept for a rainy day.

Seeing that the protagonist on the game screen had a black dress and a certain big hat out of thin air, Zhou Ze pulled out the portable system to check.

Sure enough, the night dress and top hat that were originally in his storage column disappeared out of thin air.

It seems that after assigning the items to the game characters, I can’t use them in reality... However, there is an option for the dress and top hat in the game inventory, that is [Temporarily withdraw], and the items assigned to the characters will not be lost all the time. The law is used.
