[Circle Staff of Flame (Otherworld) — This body is forged with flames. Blood of steel, heart of scorching heat. It has crossed countless battlefields and has never been defeated. The eternal existence of the sacred bloodline will open up infinite paths. (Fire Attribute + 50. Nest Characteristic — When used as an enhanced item, summon Fire Elemental creatures. + 1 level and attribute increase. + 3)]
This is the true face of the Circle Staff?
Zayen couldn't help but frown as he looked at the spear that looked like it was burning with flames, which was completely different from the previous Ring Staff.
After that, he and Elise brought the unconscious Sophia and the spear back to the inn in Star Fantasy City. According to Elise, the tracking signal and seal on the Ring Staff had vanished into thin air, so Zayen wasn't afraid that the Mage Association would come looking for him. But come to think of it, even if they came looking for him, Zayen doubted that they would recognize the spear as their 'Ring Staff'.
Come to think of it, what exactly happened?
Elise's examination revealed that Sophia was severely injured and had consumed a lot of energy. She wouldn't wake up anytime soon.
But even if she woke up, it would be difficult for Jenn to get any valuable information or clues from the princess who only liked to speak the four-syllable mantra.
Fortunately, he had another subordinate who could solve this problem. In fact, not long after returning to the inn, Zayen contacted Agatha, who was in charge of everything in his dungeon through the telepathic link, and explained the cause and effect of the matter to her.
What Zayen didn't expect was that when he mentioned the staff, Agatha also showed a rather surprised expression.
"You mean that Sophia has awakened the Flame Staff?
Is that so?
Sir Overlord? "
"Flame Staff?"
"It's the Circle Staff that you mentioned, Sir Overlord."
Fortunately, Agatha didn't have the same bad habits as the princess. Shortly after, she introduced the origin of the Flame Staff to Jenn in detail.
"The Flaming Scepter is a sacred weapon in our world. Only the most powerful and respectable Dragon Warriors are allowed to possess such a powerful weapon.
However, a long time ago, due to some internal problems within the Dragon Clan, the Flame Scepter was lost. Since then, the Dragon Clan had always sent people to search for the Flame Scepter.
He also promised that the person who found the Flaming Scepter would be able to inherit that glorious position. "
Having said that, Agatha paused for a moment before continuing with some hesitation.
"Actually, before Sophia and I came here, we were also looking for that scepter …"
So that was how it was.
After hearing this, Jenn finally understood why Sophina was looking for the Ring Staff and why the system issued this quest.
It seemed that the system was very clear about the relationship between them and the staff. Of course, although Agatha didn't say it clearly, Jenn could tell from her attitude that they had definitely experienced a rather unpleasant exploration journey before this, and eventually failed and died for some reason. That was why they were summoned here.
However, what made Jenn a little confused was that according to Agatha, the Flame Scepter didn't seem to be an evil thing. However, judging from its characteristics in the Demon Realm, the Dragon Clan basically had no use for it.
Faced with this question, Agatha also gave an answer. It turned out that the real ability of the Flame Scepter wasn't to sacrifice many lives to increase the level of spellcasting.
On the contrary, its characteristic was to absorb the power of those who were attacked by the Flame Scepter, and then strengthen the wielder.
This also meant that every time the Flame Scepter defeated and killed an enemy, its owner could obtain the power of that enemy.
However, this sounded beautiful, but there was a huge flaw — the power that could be absorbed was unlimited, but everyone's endurance was limited.
It was like pouring water into a bucket; in the end, it would definitely overflow.
In Agatha's world, the Dragon Clan also pursued the strongest path.
Therefore, only the most powerful among them were qualified to pick up this scepter. In fact, this scepter was not only an honor, but also a test.
The test began when they picked up the scepter, and the end was to see when they died.
If those powerful Dragon Clan couldn't digest the power that filled their bodies in time, they would end up exploding and dying.
In fact, the previous accident was because the strongest among the Dragon Clan thought that he could obtain the full power of the Flame Scepter, and made a wrong judgment.
In the end, he couldn't bear the powerful power and died. As for the Flame Scepter, it disappeared in the explosion. As for why it appeared in the Demon Realm and why it became like this, Agatha didn't know.
Hearing this, Jenn finally understood the ins and outs of the matter, and finally understood why the Ring Scepter became like this.
According to Agatha, this scepter could only be used by the purest and noblest of the Dragon Clan, and there definitely wouldn't be such a guy in the Demon Realm.
However, the Demons who first picked up the Ring Scepter must have noticed this, so they modified the characteristics of the Ring Scepter to turn it into a tool that could be used by the Demons.
They modified the characteristic of the Ring Scepter to absorb the power of others to strengthen itself, so it became a magic tool that needed to absorb the souls of tens of thousands of people to activate the enhancement effect. He had to admit that this was really like the style of the Demons.
After figuring out the ins and outs of the whole matter, Jenn was finally relieved. Since this wasn't a sudden trouble, but a problem left behind by history, then it was much easier to solve.
In Jenn's system panel, it indicated that the mission had been completed. However, this mission didn't bring much benefit to Jenn's dungeon. The only enhancement was the addition of an "enhancement slot" in the library.
It allowed Jenn to designate a magical equipment or item with "enhancement" effects to be placed in the library for "research", and the magical equipment placed in the library would bring a certain degree of enhancement to the entire dungeon system. Just like the Flame Scepter in Sophia's hand. If Jenn designated it to be placed in the enhancement slot in the library, then it would obtain the benefit of [When used as an enhancement item, summon fire elemental creatures will increase by + 1, attribute increase by + 3].
However, Jenn didn't intend to take it away from Sophia for the time being. After listening to Agatha's description of the Flame Scepter, Jenn immediately understood that it was actually a magical equipment in the game that could absorb EXP multiple times. It was just that there was a limit to the user.
So rather than leaving it in the dungeon to collect dust, it was better to let Sophia gain EXP. To be honest, Sophia's current Silver Level was too low. With the enhancement of the Flame Scepter, she should be able to advance to Gold Level in a short period of time. According to the classification of strength in the Klein Continent, she would enter the Legendary Realm.
After everything was settled, Zayen returned to the City of Gold with the unconscious Sophia and Elyse. He left Sophia in Elyse's care. The former was unconscious and temporarily unable to take up the task of guarding the City of Gold.
The latter, according to Elyse, had some insights from the previous battle with the Storm Giant, and hoped to find a good place to meditate. Of course, this was Elyse's opinion. According to Zayen, the EXP from the battle with the Storm Giant was enough, and it was about time for Elyse to digest the EXP and prepare to level up.
But it was no wonder. Though he didn't completely kill the Storm Giant, defeating it was also a kind of EXP.
What made Jenn speechless was that this time, the credit belonged to others, and the hard work belonged to him.
But it couldn't be helped. He was a Dungeon Lord, and if the dungeon didn't level up, he wouldn't level up. Even if he killed many creatures outside, the EXP would only be distributed to his combat units and not himself.
Fortunately, his battlefield was about to take shape.
Just as Jenn settled Elise and Sophia and returned to his territory in Passus, he quickly received a piece of information from Enoya, who had been waiting there for a long time. The Glittergold Empire finally had their eyes on him.
Perstan's fiasco shocked the Glittergold Empire. They originally thought that a frontline division dealing with a small border place like Passus was like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife, but the reality was completely opposite to what they imagined. The frontline division was completely annihilated, and not a single survivor was left.
Pattilina's bombardment almost turned the battlefield outside Passus upside down, leaving nothing behind.
This sudden scene shocked and angered the Glittergold Empire. Like Perstan, they couldn't figure out why there was such a strong combat force in this border place. What they couldn't figure out was why the Skal Federation had such a strong force, but they didn't show it. Not only did they not put it in those important areas for defense, but they threw it in a wilderness like Passus … What the hell was the Skal Federation doing?
In this case, the Glittergold Empire had to temporarily slow down the pace of invading the Skal Federation, and at the same time, send troops to the Passus area again to check the situation.
According to the information obtained by Enoya, this time the Glittergold Empire was clearly planning to take this place seriously.
Not only did a complete elite division come here, but it also included three cavalry battalions and the Third Guard Brigade.
It seemed that the other party was determined to do something to Passus.
"They really don't know what's good for them."
After reading the information in Enoya's hands, Jenn snorted coldly.
Then he seemed to think of something and turned his head to look at Enoya.
"By the way, have you submitted the letter of protest that I asked you to convey before?"
"Of course, Master."
Hearing Jenn's question, Enoya smiled slightly.
"According to the time, I think the letter of protest should be on the table of the Glittergold Empire's frontline headquarters."
