After turning a corner in his mind, Sherlock was already standing in front of the designated box.
"I hope I won't fail again this time!" He took a deep breath and pulled up the top cover of the Tamate Box with lightning speed.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The white light that reset the scene never appeared again.
"Success!"
"It's open!"
"Shandakol is on top!"
The first two cheers came from Samajar and Bentifer, and the last one came from Sherlock's exclamation.
You can hear the difference between cheering and exclamation, both literally and in tone.
The other two people did it because they saw Sherlock successfully open the box, and he did it because he saw the contents of the box.
Poseidon Trident (artifact, trident)
Sharpness 27.3, texture 1897, attack power 312
Strength 3, Charm 5,
Damage increased by 46% in the sea and damage to aquatic creatures increased by 36%
Additional skill - Tsunami (summon a tsunami)
Additional skill - Current Vortex (Create a powerful current vortex with yourself as the center, which can draw all targets within the range into it and strangle it.)
Fantasy's token: Fantasy can be summoned at any time.
Sherlock never expected that he would encounter an artifact so early. It was impossible to compare the quality of level 60 equipment without sufficient data.
But based on current equipment growth calculations, this Trident of the Sea King is definitely worthy of its name as an artifact.
Not to mention other attributes, no matter how strong it is, there are always other equipment that can achieve it. The real value of an artifact lies in its special function.
Just like the last attribute of this trident, the Fantasy can be summoned at any time.
Those who have not learned about the feud between Wavetamer Velkor (god of sailors and ships) and Deep Sea Queen Umberlee (goddess of the sea) in the Faerûnian pantheon may not know much about this ship.
In order to prevent Talos from eroding her divine power, Embry not only served her with beauty, but also had to constantly help him find a substitute for the one that had been eroded.
And Velko, who had always been against her, became the best target.
She takes pleasure in watching others die from drowning or sea beasts, but the other party wants to protect those victims. The two camps are destined to be incompatible from the beginning.
Talos quickly responded to Umberli's request. As the leader of the Furious Gods, he had always wanted to extend his tentacles to the War Priesthood.
But Tempus, the Hammer of Enemy, is not someone to be trifled with. A slight carelessness may trigger the mad dog's revenge.
Now, Velko's naval warfare priesthood provides a buffer medium for this, and of course he will not let go of this opportunity.
To this end, they planned for a long time, searched for hundreds of ghost ships, and built an elusive ship named the Drowning.
At the same time, Valkor, who learned the news from the Lich God Velensa, also thought of a plan. He incited the Thief God Mask to steal the Drowning's token, the Trident of the Sea King.
Faerun is a good teammate and the best assistant. Mask is not ignorant of the opponent's strategies, but if he can control his own hands, he will not be worthy of the title of King of Thieves.
The experienced Mask successfully stole the Trident of the Sea King, but while avoiding Talos' pursuit, it was snatched away by Valko.
Afterwards, Velenza asked Mystra and Velenza to help him renovate the Drowning ship and rename it Gensokyo.
Then there was what happened in the Year of Turmoil. During the years when he was demoted to the mortal world, the Trident of the Sea King also wandered into the Sea of Fallen Stars in the chaos.
After changing hands several times, it finally came into the hands of the mermaid royal family and was taken out as this dowry.
Gensokyo, the Poseidon Trident, Sherlock's hand unconsciously touched them.
But the moment he touched the trident, the familiar white light lit up again.
He only felt a pain in his head, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a room with a strong sense of technology.
There were seven people sitting around a round table, including men, women and children. They were discussing something intensely with a golden data stream in the middle, but they paid no attention to the sudden appearance of him.
"Excuse me, where is this?" Sherlock walked in and asked.
This group of people still ignored him.
"Is it a virtual image?" he said to himself.
This kind of technology has long been popularized in the film and television industry, so he was not surprised. After observing the environment and finding that there were no secrets, he focused his attention on the conversation between these seven people.
"Sister Xiaoman, Drizzt has too many scenes. No matter how much you like him, you can't force a mortal to go to the bottomless abyss to kill Demogorgon."
"No, I just like him. Who says mortals can't kill gods? Brother Shifang's Elminster can do it."
"I have designed a thousand-year growth path for Elminster, one step at a time. If you have the energy, you can do it too."
"Okay, Xiaoman, don't even think about challenging Demogorgon alone. This kind of limelight must be left to the players. Drizzt can only serve as a guide and assistant."
"Uncle Yipo, look, they are all bullying me."
"I can't help it. After all, we agreed at the beginning, but I can find someone to help Drizzt strengthen his scimitar. I still have this right."
"whee……"
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. There is not much time left for us. We must complete the final debugging of the Forgotten Kingdom as soon as possible."
…
Next is a discussion about some game data, such as pain settings, NPC intelligence, environmental simulation, etc.
From the analysis of the known pictures, it can be seen that this should be the developer of the game Forgotten Kingdom studying and discussing the game settings.
Sherlock really doesn't know why they put this kind of thing into the game.
Could it be said to be an Easter egg?
After thinking about it, this seemingly absurd explanation seems to be the most reasonable one.
Assuming it is really an easter egg, do those NPCs have a chance to see it?
It should be blocked, right?
With the intelligence of the NPCs in the Forgotten Realm, especially those omnipotent gods, if they really knew that this was a game world, they would have caused chaos in the plane long ago.
Not necessarily. There are creator gods above these gods, who are constrained by the system. Even if they really know it, they should be unable to resist and can only act in accordance with the rules.
What was the truth? The more Sherlock thought about it, the more confused he became, and finally gave up.
After all, he is a player, so it is enough that he is real.
