Chapter 7 Insect amber, the stolen ring

Chapter 7 Insect amber, the stolen ring

They usually come from two sources: one is randomly generated in nature or civil society, and the other comes from the death of an extraordinary person.

The first requires no further explanation, and the second is related to the spirituality of the extraordinary person at the time of death. If the extraordinary person still has a strong obsession at the time of his death, there is a certain probability that his spirituality will combine with the obsession and attach itself to a nearby object, forming a secret treasure.

The main difference between a hidden treasure and an ordinary supernatural item is that the use of a hidden treasure requires the fulfilment of its own conditions.

For example, there is information about a secret treasure among the players of the previous life of Seafaring.

【The sharp blade from behind】.It is a secret treasure that looks like a great sword

The effect is that when it attacks an enemy from behind, it can ignore the enemy's defences to a certain extent and deal direct critical damage.

And the requirement for using it is also very simple: when you use this secret treasure to attack, you must turn your back to the enemy.

There are many other strange combinations of secret treasures, because a large part of the conditions for their use come from the grudges of extraordinary people. Therefore, appreciating the counterintuitive effects of various secret treasures has become a programme that Seafaring players must experience.

However, compared to the secret treasures in Richard's memory, the amber in his hands is quite simple, both in terms of its effect and the conditions for its use.

Name: 【Insect amber】.

Rank: First Order

Ability: Create and control a certain number of blood-eyed worm swarms for attacks and other actions. Each use requires spiritual energy or a large amount of flesh and blood.

Conditions of use: Remove one of your own eyes and place the secret treasure in the socket.

Secret Treasures are also divided into ranks. As with transcendents, the theory is that the highest is rank 7, but no one has ever seen or heard of a rank 7 secret treasure appearing.

Richard's assessment of the secret treasure he has just received is that is a failed treasure

He would never gouge out his own eyes for this secret treasure, so for him, the only value of the 【Insect amber】 is to add it to his 【Insect amber】 as a valuable treasure that increases spirituality and physical strength.

After placing the [Insect Amber], Richard took stock of the wealth in his 【Secret Treasure】.

Aside from the three extraordinary items, the remaining wealth was equivalent to more than 100 gold coins.

From an ordinary person's perspective, this amount of wealth was more than enough to support his family for ten lifetimes.

But for Richard, it was still not enough.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

Whether it was for his next plan or for future players, he needed to accumulate a lot of wealth.

It seems that I still have to make some extraordinary jewels myself,' Richard thought.

Richard thought as he rubbed the Phantom Ring in his hand.

However, the creation of extraordinary jewels was not something that could be done casually. It required not only excellent raw materials, i.e. gems, but also the synergy of Richard's own skills and spirituality.

If one aspect is not done correctly, the result is greatly diminished.

For example, the Golden Oak Brooch, which shone brilliantly during the battle with the Night Owl, was Richard's first creation. The effect he originally intended, which could be activated by the expenditure of spiritual energy, became one that could only be used three times a day, and it required the expenditure of spiritual energy before it could be used. This was much worse than Richard's original expectations.

However, with the experience of the first time, when I made the Phantom Ring for the second time, the effect of the extraordinary jewellery was much stronger than before.

Name: 【Phantom Ring】

Position: First order

Ability:

【Phantom Overload】: When worn, the Phantom Ring automatically creates a layer of phantom on the body to block attacks and detection from the outside world.

The wearer uses spiritual energy to control the shape of the phantom on the body, distorting their image to the outside world or splitting into several identical phantoms that can move to confuse the enemy.

【The Phantom Ring】 is an extraordinary piece of jewellery created by Richard specifically for this purpose, and there is a great deal of flexibility in its use.

Previously, Richard had been able to move freely in the sunlight without being affected by the side effects of the 【Blood Brew】, partly because the phantom on his body blocked the sunlight.

But when it came to the ring, Richard unconsciously remembered the clues that the original body had investigated.

It seems that before his father died and he returned to York City, Baron Lancaster took a ring from his hand.

In his memory, this ring was one of the last pieces left by his mother, a jeweller.

However, there were many works left by the mother of the original body, and he did not understand why the Baron of Lancaster had chosen to seize this ring.

But once Richard had travelled back in time, he understood.

The problem was not the ring, but the gold, silver and precious stones set in it.

They were the special products of the legendary island of Treasure Island.

“According to legend, Treasure Island was a mysterious island that first appeared in the early days of the Age of Discovery.

Its appearance immediately intensified the entire human society's longing for navigation.

Treasure Island was full of gold and silver, two precious things.

According to the descriptions of the adventurers who once set foot on Treasure Island, gold and silver were the least common things on the island. Even if you picked up a stone, it would turn out to be a gold mine. This adventurer even saw a whole mountain of gold and silver rising up to the sky!”

Such descriptions undoubtedly aroused the seafaring enthusiasm of many people.

But as they rushed towards Treasure Island, the famous island suddenly disappeared.

It didn't reappear until decades later, and it became the grave of many fleets from different countries.

After the disappearance of Treasure Island, all the items that the adventurer brought back from above turned to dust, whether they were gold and silver or the special products on them.

So the question is, why are there still gold, silver and gems on the ring that Richard's mother left him?

Looking back over the memories in his mind, Richard realised that he knew very little about his late mother.

He only knew that his father's jewellery business had gradually developed thanks to his mother's jewellery-making skills.

However, after his mother died giving birth to him, his father rarely mentioned her.

After asking several times without getting an answer, and being scolded instead, the original body also gave up trying to find out about his mother's past, and only had a vague image in his mind.

Now that Richard has looked back at these memories, combined with the stolen ring, he has noticed a lot of suspicious points.

It seems that there is a great mystery surrounding his mother, and it is likely to be closely related to Treasure Island.

Remembering the 'Treasure Island incident' in his previous life, Richard felt that he could delve deeper into the mystery.

However, he still had to find a way to get the ring back from Baron Lancaster.
