Chapter 463: Silver Dragon Ring (2/2)
My mind made up, I tossed Whirlwind into my bag and moved onto the third item. This one was leather-armor wristguards with a dark glow—
Cold Silver Wristguard (Purple Gold–grade, Outstanding★★)
Defense: 270
Magic Resist: 245
Agility: +104
Stamina: +100
Passive: Increases user’s hit rate by 25%
Outstanding Property: Increases user’s Agility by 120
Level Requirement: 120
……
Mn, decent leather-armor wristguards, especially the passive that increases hit rate by 25%, the lifeline of all archers. I’ll give this to Beiming Xue later.
The last equipment to check was a glowing ring. It looked like it was made of black metal, and the head of a dark red dragon sat above it. I could vaguely hear a draconic roar coming from it from time to time. When I held it in my palm, an indescribably coldness seeped into my flesh. It didn’t take a genius to figure out that its stats were going to be good—
Silver Dragon Ring (Spirit-grade, Outstanding★★★★★)
Strength: +125
Stamina: +130
Tactics: +25
Passive: Increases user’s Attack and Defense by 20%
Passive: Increases user’s resistance against ice and fire magic by 40%
Outstanding Property: Low chance to trigger Silver Dragon Storm when attacking a target
Level Requirement: 120
Reputation Requirement: 70000
……
Buzz!
My mind turned blank for a moment. It took me a long while to recover myself.
Holy shit! What an amazing 5-star Outstanding Spirit-grade ring! Not only did it boost both Strength and Stamina over 120 points each, it boosted Attack and Defense by 20% and had a chance to trigger a skill called Silver Dragon Storm! I had no doubt that the passive skill would be incredibly powerful, although of course I would have to test out its effects and range later since there wasn’t a precise description of the skill.
At this point, I was rolling in happiness. All the trouble I went through to kill the Earth Lizard Dragon was worth it because it gave me two items that I could use very soon. One was the 4-star Outstanding Battle Soul Poleyn, and the other, the 5-star Outstanding Spirit-grade Silver Dragon Ring. Once I hit the level necessary to equip both items, I was sure that my strength would climb to a whole new height!
I looked at the rest of the loot until I spotted a skill book glowing with a devilish purple light in the middle of a pile of high-level gems. When I took a closer look, I realized that it was a stratagem. Tsk tsk, I’m rich again!
Encourage VII: Beseech the power of the general and increase the attack power of all party members by 20%. Tactics Requirement: 100. Class Requirement: Any. Cost: 2000 Reputation
……
It was an extremely good stratagem. To my knowledge, the highest rank Encourage could get was Rank 7, and a 20% increase to Attack wasn’t bad at all. Even Tempest Shadow’s Resolute only increased Attack by 25%, so this skill book was incredibly valuable to say the least!
Mn, this skill book was suitable for players whose Famous General Skill didn’t boost Attack. For example, Purple Marquis’s Famous General Skill was Insight, and it was completely useless against a mob. On the other hand, if he could learn an Encourage VII, then he could increase his allies’ Attack by 40% or more. It was better than nothing, right?
That being said, of course I wasn’t going to give it to Purple Marquis, even if he was the general of our ally. I was going to hold on to the skill book and wait until someone in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls got a Famous General Skill that didn’t boost Attack.
After that, I checked the assortment of gems scattered across the ground. There were two Convenience Gems I, Cyanfire Gems, Dragonstone Gems and more. It didn’t matter because I was taking everything. I checked the time and noted that it was almost 9 pm. Beiming Xue was probably feeling a bit urgent right now, and so was I. I hurriedly cut off the Earth Lizard Dragon’s head so I could trade it for a bounty reward at Sky City later!
As for the Earth Lizard Dragon’s body, now that was a disappointment. Death Plunder only gave me a couple of high-level dragon skins and nothing else. Dragon blood, dragon fat, whatever; it all disappeared in one sad poof.
I hurried out of the dragon cave and returned to the Dragon Knight Tia with the bottle filled with dragon blood. I saw Tia groaning a little because the wound at her chest area was being invaded by the deadly poison. The green dragon was licking the wound with its long tongue and trying to comfort its master.
”Thud, thud….”
I walked up to them and took out the bottle of dragon blood. I asked, ”Tia, I’ve brought back the Earth Lizard Dragon’s blood. Can you see if it’ll cure your poison?”
”Ah?” Tia’s eyes opened in pleasant surprise. She smiled brightly. ”Thank goodness! You’ve actually completed your mission! You actually killed that ferocious Earth Lizard Dragon!”
Tia accepted the bottle and started pouring its contents on her wound. The black gash immediately started taking on a much healthier red color. The dragon’s blood really was effective against the poison.
……
Clinging to her dragon spear and pulling herself to her feet, Tia smiled at me with eyes full of gratitude. ”Young and courageous warrior, it is thanks to you that I am able to regain my strength. Come and receive your reward. May the light of the Silver Moon Alliance forever be with you…”
