This can be regarded as gaining a trace of the overlord's inheritance from another generation!
In a sense, ancient equipment is a legacy left behind.
Just like when Zong Shen obtained the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword (Gold)], he also subconsciously developed a desire to defeat the dragon.
[Ring of the Overlord (gold)] and [Emblem of the Overlord (gold)] are also the legacy equipment of the strong. Some of the equipment effects and characteristics represent some of the characteristics of the overlord back then.
As the eras of the Endless Continent changed, many of their existences and traces were completely lost in the long river of time. What was left behind were the blessings of the powerful men of the past era.
These powers left over from ancient times will eventually become the foundation for future pioneers. They are like milk, "nurturing" the new generation of strong men.
Zong Shen often explores ruins. Whenever he obtains these ancient equipment and items, he always feels like standing on the shoulders of giants.
Perhaps the will of those strong men who passed away and their desire for the future are all concentrated in these leftover items.
Many times, Zong Shen would feel that their generation of lords was moving forward with a lot of hope.
…
The fourth item is a magical object called [Arcane Orb (Gold)]. Its characteristics are similar to the [Time Stop Orb (Gold)] in Zong Shen's hand, and they both touch the underlying rules of the world.
It’s just that the [Time Stop Orb (Gold)] touches time.
The rules mastered by this [Arcane Orb (Gold)] are arcane.
It can greatly improve the ability of arcane casters, and it also comes with several good arcane attack, defense and auxiliary effects. From a functional point of view, it is more comprehensive than [Time Stop Orb (Gold)].
Of course, Zong Shen’s [Time Stop Orb (gold)] is also not simple, and it has helped him resolve countless crises along the way.
However, this [Arcane Orb (gold)] actually has very limited effect on Zong Shen himself. On the contrary, it is more suitable for his younger brother Zong Ze. If Zong Shen redeems it, he may give it as a gift to his younger brother.
After all, he now has millions of challenge points, so he should spend tens of thousands of points to take care of his younger brother.
Being too stingy and Voldemort are both undesirable behaviors. How to measure the boundaries needs to be decided by the individual based on the actual situation.
Fortunately, the number of exchanges is still sufficient, so Zong Shen can suffer less from the difficulty of choosing!
Finally, there is the defensive equipment.
They are:
[Morning Watch·Light Energy War Shield (Gold)]
[The Wailing Robes of the Dead (Gold)]
Shields and vestments are both good mainstream defensive equipment.
Among them, the battle shield can be used by oneself, just in time to eliminate the [Wind, Fire, Thunderstorm, Bear's Roaring Shield (orange)] which is gradually unable to keep up with the situation.
And that robe is enhanced by the Necromancer and can be given to Tasia.
It’s almost time for the [Abnormal Bone Exposed Body (Purple)] on her body to be eliminated and replaced.
Unfortunately, the number of redemptions is limited, so you still have to make a decision in the end.
The four pieces of jewelry/magic items type equipment are definitely not to be missed.
For the remaining two exchange opportunities, after much thought, he decided to exchange for the [Giant Tooth Sword·Scale Breaker (Gold)]. Although the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword (Gold)] was slightly less powerful in terms of slashing damage.
It is inferior. It can only produce good output with [Charged Slash]. Compared with this big sword, there is a big gap.
Now that I have encountered it, I might as well redeem it.
The next brilliance-level and suit-type equipment may bring him other surprises.
Maybe there will be equipment more suitable for Tasia by then!
In this case, Zong Shen decided to choose War Shield!
After determining the redemption target, Zong Shen chose to redeem without hesitation.
The six limited pieces of epic equipment cost him 281,300 challenge points.
The current remaining challenge points are: 6042569
If you work harder, you can reduce your balance to less than 6 million.
As the challenge points were deducted, the six limited epic pieces of equipment he selected automatically emerged, floating in front of him as before.
Among these six pieces of equipment, the most eye-catching one is actually the battle shield!
It is called [Morning Watcher·Light Energy Battle Shield (Gold)]. It is a curved square battle shield with a length of 1.5 meters and a width of 1 meter. It is a standard heavy battle shield.
The unique thing about this war shield is that its shield surface is composed of a light curtain.
The blue-white light curtain reminded Zong Shen of the "Beam Shield" in the Gundam anime on Earth. It was a new type of shield that had both high defense and miniaturization.
Judging from the appearance, [Morning Watch·Light Energy War Shield (Gold)] still has a somewhat futuristic feel.
He suddenly remembered that [Light Energy Battle Bow of Grace (Orange)], which relies on arrows condensed with light energy, so this battle shield should use light energy condensed into a shield surface for defense, whether it is from the technological side
Still interpreting it from the magic side, its principle is the stable condensation of energy.
The light on the shield emits a light that is not too bright. Through this light, you can see that there are frame-like support mechanisms inside and on the edges, which are somewhat similar to umbrella ribs. These frames are used to allow the light curtain to be bound to a designated plane.
Maintain a relatively stable state.
"Interesting!"
"Perhaps the Endless Continent once had a civilization with powerful technology and craftsmanship."
"Many equipment forging techniques and styles have long been lost."
"This seems to be the case with these light energy equipment and weapons, as well as the beast-riding armor and [Sky Spirit Wings (orange)] that were previously made using the so-called 'demon metal'."
"Their production principles, materials and processes are all very different from the current equipment in Endless Continent..."
Zong Shen sighed silently in his heart.
The mysterious businessman Alpha didn't bother him either.
After he came to his senses, he added softly.
"You can consult me if you have any additional questions."
"Currently, there is a fee to answer these questions."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The specific charging standards depend on the problem itself, including some secrets and clues that I know!"
Alpha held his hands in front of him, like an enthusiastic salesman.
Hearing what he said, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Zong Shen's mind.
He has never had to rely on others for information.
After all, the strategy module is a real secret-stealing plug-in. As long as this part of the information exists in the records of the lord system, the strategy module can know the answer.
But here comes the problem. The lord system seems to be "reset" after every era change. Regarding the secrets of ancient lost eras, it can only give limited additional information based on ruins and leftover items at best.
As for the civilizations, races, living conditions, disasters, tests and difficulties encountered in ancient and bygone eras, the information that the strategy module can provide is very limited, because these contents have been "cleared" once.
The current lord system only serves the current era.
Therefore, the limitations of the strategy module are also exposed.
However, the mysterious businessman Alpha in front of him seems to have experienced many era changes, and he should have some understanding of the lost civilization.
And the name Alpha proves that this guy is not simple.
He is by no means a "tool man" who only serves for exchange.
This can be seen from his performance and some of the factors mentioned.
Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet in Earth's civilization. Its meaning has been translated into the common languages of the endless continents and still means "first", "beginning" and "original".
After thinking about this, Zong Shen turned his head and asked the first question.
"Why are you called Alpha?"
After hearing this question, the mysterious businessman Alpha suddenly laughed.
"Hoo ho ho!"
After laughing for a while, he gave a thumbs up.
"You ask a good question, but it's not cheap to answer."
As soon as Alpha finished speaking, a subtitle prompt appeared in front of Zong Shen.
[Whether to consume 99999 challenge points]
[Get: Alpha’s Question Answer x1]
【whether】
…
Just such a question is worth 99999 challenge points?
You must know that Zong Shen only spent more than 200,000 points to redeem six pieces of limited epic equipment. When converted, this problem is almost equal to three pieces of limited epic equipment!
Seeing Zong Shen hesitate, the mysterious businessman Alpha let out a burst of light laughter again.
“Hoo ho ho ho…”
“This question is worth every penny!”
He seemed to encourage and suggest.
For Zong Shen, this issue is like a gamble.
No one is sure about the origin of the name Alpha that can be worth 99999 challenge points, but the more so, the more curious Zong Shen becomes.
His intuition told him that there must be some magic in this!
"Gamble!"
"After spending these 99,999 challenge points, there are still more than 5.9 million left!"
Zong Shen gritted his teeth and chose to take a gamble!
After confirming that the points have been deducted, a new prompt appears.
[Challenge points deducted 99999]
[Get: Alpha’s Question Answer x1]
[Limited number of questions: 1]
[Current available challenge points: 5942570]
…
The subtitles slowly faded away, and Alpha was still smiling.
He took off his hat and made a gentleman's hat salute.
Then he answered in a calm tone.
"The meaning of Alpha is that I am the first lord..."
"The first in the real sense, so I was named Alpha."
"The same goes for Beta. It's included in the message. If you ask her, you'll have to pay for it."
"As the first lord, we are actually the experimental subjects."
"Now, as a special existence, we are performing some specific tasks. In addition to assisting with the exchange, we may be able to meet each other in the future."
"As for my current human image, it is just to suit your aesthetics. At this time, I am serving billions of lords at the same time."
"It's just that due to differences in internal timelines, I'm only here to serve you at the moment."
"Okay, I can only explain this about Alpha."
When Alpha said this, he blinked his eyes and seemed to have something else in mind.
Zong Shen looked stunned. This question led him to come up with some deeper assumptions, which were related to the future of the lord.
Of course, it's just a possible future.
Alpha's status is special. It may not be as good as the lord system, but it must have certain authority and functions!
It is precisely this that proves that the lord system is not absolutely out of reach for the lord!
"Do you have any other questions?"
The mysterious businessman asked with a smile on his face and a calm attitude.
He had billions of clones at the same time, that is, the first mysterious businessman that all the lords met was Alpha, including what Zong Shen saw was not Alpha's true form.
Among them, Alpha also mentioned the difference in timelines, which proves that Zong Shen after the reopening is different from other lords in terms of challenging the timeline.
At this time, Zong Shen raised two fingers.
"Second question, how many generations of lord changes has the Endless Continent experienced?"
After discovering that Alpha did know the inside story, Zong Shen was no longer stingy with challenge points. He wanted to take this opportunity to learn as much as possible.
"This question requires 50,000 points."
Alpha said with a smile, and a new prompt appeared in front of Zong Shen.
This time he directly chose to deduct points in exchange for answers.
The balance of points available for distribution becomes: 5892570
After the points were deducted, Alpha raised his fingers and calculated in a decent manner.
Then an answer was given.
"The Endless Continent has experienced 98 generations of sub-lord placement and testing."
"The total time span is nearly 5 million years, and the longest generation of lord civilization has lasted for nearly 100,000 years. By the way, this message is an extra gift for your quick payment of points!"
He added at the end, seeming to encourage Zong Shen to spend money quickly.
"So as the first real lord, you shouldn't have been tested in the Endless Continent, right?"
"Furthermore, there was a blank period in the Endless Continent in the last era, and there were even beings like the Scourge who were responsible for 'cleaning up'. I want to know what that mistake was?"
Zong Shen then continued to ask.
At this time, the smile on the face of the mysterious businessman Alpha faded a little.
Obviously the questions he raised touched on some key points.
"These are two questions, and I can only give a simplified answer to the second question."
"A total of 75,000 challenge points will be deducted for the two questions."
The mysterious businessman Alpha shook his slender fingers.
Zong Shen chose to pay again without hesitation.
The remaining points available for distribution become: 5817570
After getting the points, Alpha pondered for a moment. This question required him to organize his words before he could answer it.
After waiting for about ten seconds, Alpha spoke up.
"As you may have guessed, I did not come to the Endless Continent because this is just one of many samples..."
"To use a term that fits your memory and cognition, this is a testing ground, or a testing game..."
"Second question..."
"etc!"
When Alpha said this, he was directly interrupted by Zong Shen before he finished speaking.
In fact, he had a guess when he entered the mysterious palace. Now that Alpha said it himself, Zong Shen can no longer sit still!
