"The White Rose Caravan has a small station in the giant city of Lentax."
"But that's all."
"Their business is very big, and auctions are held in many giant cities in the central and even eastern parts of the kingdom."
Earl Rice explained patiently.
The giant city level only has influence in a certain area.
Those cross-city super caravans control more than one giant city.
Hearing his words, Zong Shen nodded gently.
"Oh, I see."
"Then what is the name of this magic book in the White Rose Auction?"
He then asked the next question.
Les Kazan had a thoughtful look on his face, and it took him a few seconds to recall the answer before he came up with the answer.
"Let's call it 'The Secret Book of Fire Magic from the Searing Realm'."
"That's right...that's the name!"
Now Zong Shen knew what was going on.
It seems that contemporary aborigines may not know the name and experience of Bertus.
This Fire Book is most likely the product of some kind of relic.
The era of civilization caused by the change of era is very serious. Maybe some people still study the ancient past era.
However, most aboriginals do not know much more about ancient eras than ordinary lords.
"Okay, go and do your work."
After waving his hand, Zong Shen asked the Earl to leave the study.
He doesn't need to explain too much to the tool man.
Moreover, Earl Rice has joined the territory and has become an official territorial citizen. He is bound by the loyalty framework. It is only natural that Zong Shen sends him.
After receiving the order, Earl Rice bowed and quickly walked out of the study.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to close the rune door in the study room.
Zong Shen knew that [Bertus' Fire Book (L2 Light Level)] had a lot of background.
But exploring the secrets is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
So he silently wrote down this matter and put the book into the storage compartment with his backhand.
Be prepared to wait until you have free time to research it.
He has more important things to solve in the next few days, and that is about the changes in Prince Carter and the giant city of Lentax, as well as the changes that may follow.
After putting away the Fire Book, Zong Shen took out a fancy long-brimmed ranger hat.
The reason why it is said to be fancy is because this ranger hat is decorated with a large number of colorful feathers.
And its name also proves this.
Speaking of which, this hat is quite exaggerated and gorgeous, with quite an artistic flair.
Holding this hat, Zong Shen checked its properties.
[Apollo Bird's Feather Hat (Orange)]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Head protection: 40]
[Durability: 779/800]
[Demand agility: 85]
[Required power: 35]
[Active skill: Extreme LV30 (increases movement speed by 100%, gain ratio is 30% in flying state, lasts for 15 minutes, cooling time is 4 hours)
Summon a Parade LV30 (Summon a Parade with level LV30 as a mount. The Parade has extremely high mobility and jumping ability and can last for 30 minutes and has a cooldown time of 8 hours)]
[Passive skill: Confusion (it will enter a state of confusion when it is not still, and the body will automatically blend with the surrounding environment)]
(This is a lightweight feather made of polar bird feathers, suitable for use by rangers)
…
This hat is really unremarkable. Apart from its exaggerated shape, it doesn’t have any outstanding advantages. It can be regarded as a very ordinary piece of legendary equipment.
Zong Shen planned to take it back and give it to Madeleine or Mapel.
After quickly deciding on the ownership of [Areas Bird's Feather Cap (Orange)].
He then took out the next item!
This is a cup, about the same size as those common trophies.
The body of the cup is carved with strange patterns, and the material is some kind of dark red stone.
Because its texture is not clear and its surface is rough.
The cup holder is a black crystal that does not emit any light and looks extremely dim.
Zong Shen stared at the grooves on the surface and felt that they were not magic runes.
This is not the point. The most important thing is that after taking out this weird stone cup, Zong Shen smelled a faint smell of blood. This smell of blood came out of the cup, but the cup was empty.
Such a strange situation made Zong Shen instinctively aware of the extraordinary nature of this object.
What's more, the quality level of this thing has been judged as [Special].
All [special] and [unknown] items will most likely have a great origin.
So this stone cup is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Just when he reached out and held the stone cup in his hand, he was about to examine it attentively.
The demon blood in the body began to stir, but the throbbing feeling was not too strong.
Before Zong Shen could figure it out, the bloodline belonging to the Holy Spirit also became restless.
But it soon returned to calm.
It wasn't over yet, the blood in Zong Shen's body suddenly became hot.
He could feel every drop of blood flowing in his blood vessels, because the temperature of the blood in his body exceeded his own body temperature.
When the transformation reached this stage, Zong Shen no longer dared to hold it in his hand, and quickly raised his hand and dropped the stone cup on the table.
When the stone cup was taken away, all the abnormalities disappeared.
"Good guy, what the hell is this?"
Zong Shen saw a red fingerprint on the handle of the stone cup.
It was the mark left by his grasp just now.
This handprint is very obvious, like a mark produced by burning.
And there are still wisps of smoke, slowly dissipating as time goes by.
Speaking of which, this thing is really evil.
He didn't feel any obvious energy flowing from it.
This proves that the power contained in this stone cup is by no means a common elemental system.
There may be other, less common power rules and systems involved.
It seems that not everyone can feel this abnormality.
At least Les Kazan most likely wouldn't be able to feel it, otherwise he would definitely not store such a weird thing in his treasure house.
Putting aside this issue, in terms of appearance and material alone, this stone cup still seems to be of great collectible value, especially the lines on the surface, which may seem chaotic, but in fact there are other patterns hidden in it.
It's not like runes, it's more like a specific path, but the carvings are more complicated.
In any case, Zong Shen had no intention of touching the stone cup himself until he found out the details of it.
All abnormalities in the stone cup occur after being touched. As long as you keep a safe distance, there should be no problem.
Thinking of this, Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and began to look at the dark red stone cup seriously.
Golden subtitles and a systematic attribute list emerge.
[Bloodthirsty Holy Grail (Special)]
[Quality: Special]
[A holy grail that longs for blood. It is very picky about blood. If it can satisfy its desire, it can get corresponding feedback]
[Effect: Blood-thirsty holy power (by instilling the best blood that meets the requirements, you can choose one of three returns from [Power of Blood Pattern], [Loyal Servant of Blood Puppet], and [Blood Sanctuary])
Blood induction (can produce induction effect on blood that meets the requirements)]
[Current thirst for blood progress: 0/100]
[The power of blood streaks: After use, you can obtain a permanent gain effect of 10 in all attributes. At the same time, a blood streak of no more than one centimeter in length will appear on the body. An individual can have up to 999 blood streaks]
[Blood Puppet Loyal Servant: A loyal servant with sixth-level combat power and a constant level of LV50]
[Blood asylum: Each blood asylum can restore 10% of one's own blood volume and injuries at any time, has a strong healing effect, and an individual can store up to 10 asylum effects]
(The Holy Grail passed down from the ancient vampire forces has the power of blood feedback. It only needs to touch the blood that meets the requirements to automatically fill the thirsty blood progress. When the progress reaches 100 points, you can get one of three feedbacks.
, and the progress will be cleared at the same time
Moreover, the Holy Grail is picky about food. The blood on the same individual will lose its filling effect within a period of time after reaching a certain level of blood thirst.
Make good use of the characteristics of the Holy Grail, work hard to find high-level blood in future battles, accumulate enough feedback, and gain the power of the vampires)
…
"Vampire?"
"Do you mean vampires?"
Zong Shen murmured to himself.
This Holy Grail is indeed very famous, it can actually "drink blood"!
And as long as the drink is full, the holder can get certain feedback.
Each of those three feedback options is of great value.
Especially [Power of Blood Pattern], it can actually increase all attributes by 10 points!
This means that 40 attribute points are added at a time.
And an individual can carry up to 999 blood lines.
In other words, even if Zong Shen clears all his attributes, as long as he can stack 999 blood streaks, all his four major attributes can become 9999 points.
As for the [Blood Puppet Loyal Servant], it doesn't have much appeal to him. It's just a sixth-level puppet servant. It's not as beneficial as the attribute improvement.
After all, there are too many ways to obtain warriors.
Recruitment rolls of all kinds emerge in endlessly.
Whether you explore ruins or open treasure chests, you can get a lot of recruitment coupons.
There is no need to waste precious feedback opportunities on summoning [Blood Puppet Loyal Servant].
As for the last feedback option [Blood Asylum], it is also very powerful. It is an ability that can be used to save lives, and it also has a strong healing effect.
It can be stacked up to 10 times, which means there is a chance to restore 100% of the health value, and it also includes the healing and recovery of broken limb injuries.
This is a truly life-saving effect!
However, the greater the feedback reward, the more difficult it is to fill the blood thirst progress!
And it seems that this [Holy Grail of Blood Thirst (Special)] is very picky about food.
Ordinary blood may not be able to meet its needs.
Coupled with the ability of [Blood Sense], it is no wonder that Zong Shen had a strange throbbing feeling when he touched it just now.
In addition to the blood of demons and the Holy Spirit, even the ordinary blood in his body seems to be able to react to the Holy Grail, which may mean that his blood can be used to "feed" the Holy Grail.
Thinking of this, Zong Shen took off his chain gloves and various power-boosting jewelry and equipment.
It wasn't until his attributes had dropped a lot that he took out a whiteboard-grade knife and carefully made a cut on the back of his hand.
Now his skin has built-in defense, but this knife still cut off hundreds of points of his health.
The blood condensed into beads and flowed out. He raised his hand and reached out to the Holy Grail, causing the blood to drip on it.
"Crack!"
The blood drops dripped into the cup and were absorbed almost instantly.
Then the second drop, the third drop, the fourth drop...
After more than a dozen drops of blood dripped continuously, the wound on the back of Zong Shen's hand healed.
The blood that had been dripping before was like a mud cow entering the sea, all of it was absorbed by the [Holy Grail of Blood Thirst (Special)].
Zong Shen took a focused look at [Blood Thirst Progress].
I found that the current state is still [0/100], and the dozen or so drops of blood just now did not even meet the 1% progress.
I don't know if the quality of the blood is too poor or the amount of blood is too small.
Because what he just dripped out was just ordinary blood from his body, not the power of the devil or the Holy Spirit.
But in the final analysis, he is also a legend, and his body has already undergone unpredictable changes.
The leap in life caused his blood energy level to break away from that of ordinary people.
But now it seems that it is still not enough to feed the Holy Grail, unless he is willing to bleed a lot.
For Zong Shen, this is not a problem. It is already semi-digitized anyway. After bleeding, the blood in the body does not need to be nursed back and it can be restored with the recovery of health.
“Where can I find high-quality blood?”
He thought about it and suddenly patted his head.
"Isn't there a ready-made one right now?"
Thinking of this, Zong Shen took out the [Communication Crystal] and contacted Xiao Heizi.
At this time, Little Heizi was on the carriage from the second circle to the first circle. He had been ordered to pick up the two Karan sisters, England, Kitty Girl and Tasia.
It is estimated that it will take at least half an hour to arrive at Earl Rice's manor.
So Zong Shen could only give up the idea of letting him come to donate blood.
He picked up the whiteboard dagger and began to cut holes in his arms and perform the bleeding process.
…
After about twenty minutes, Zong Shen sighed.
After he drained about one or two hundred drops of blood, the [Blood Thirst Progress] finally reached 1 point.
"I didn't expect my blood quality to be so bad!"
"It should just barely meet the requirements for swallowing the Holy Grail."
After the [Blood Thirst Progress] is increased, a small part of the lines on the Holy Grail are filled with red.
It seems that as long as everything is filled, it means that the [Blood Thirst Progress] is full.
Zong Shen had been struggling for a long time just now, cutting, bleeding, recovering, cutting again, bleeding again...
According to this situation, if he wanted to feed the Holy Grail by himself, it would take at least half a day.
And this is without considering whether the Holy Grail will taste "boring".
You must know that if you feed too much blood from the same individual, there will be a cooling time for the filling progress.
So the best way is to find a way to get some high-quality rare blood.
And it is best if they are from different individuals, so that the Holy Grail can be fed as quickly as possible and corresponding feedback can be obtained multiple times.
Just as Zong Shen was thinking, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Master, I'm here!"
Xiao Heizi's voice came from outside the house.
Zong Shen was so overjoyed that he got up and walked to the door himself, opening the rune door for it!
