Chapter 190:141 The Mysterious Organization Behind Donald Morgan
That Quest Scroll was obviously a bribe from Donald Morgan to Douglas Murphy.
This item is something even a Fifth-turn would covet. However, for Dean McKenzie at this moment, it’s too premature to consider, so he stowed it away for now.
Apart from that, the remaining four things were all great stuff.
One of the items, a Damaged Mysterious Door, could be used to upgrade the Land of Bone.
This came just in time to resolve Dean McKenzie’s urgent need.
In fact, since Dean McKenzie’s third-turn, the Land of Bone was no longer sufficient.
Previously, Dean McKenzie’s Land of Bone could hold a peak of 9000 Skeleton troops, but now only 50 Fourth-turn Skeletons could exist there; having one more was not possible.
Certainly, it was not enough for Dean McKenzie.
Luckily, he now had this item. When he had time, Dean McKenzie could upgrade the level of the Land of Bone.
However, currently, he must first save the mysterious person.
Thus, Dean McKenzie glanced at Donald Morgan, who was still performing the ceremony, refocused on his loot, and immediately activated the two fourth-turn Skill Stones in his hand.
For others, opening a skill stone may cause some anxiety, as the result is random, and the skill might be useless.
But Dean McKenzie had no such concern.
After all, he commanded dozens of Skeletons under his banner, whatever skill he obtained, he could utilize it entirely!
[You have used a skill stone, you’ve gained skill: Fearless Charge!]
Skill: Fearless Charge (Fourth-turn)
Study conditions: Knight, Fourth-turn, Strength 2000, Physique 2000, Agility 2000, Spirit 1000
“Damn, out of all the types of Skeletons I have, you had to give me a skill for one I don’t have yet!”
Dean McKenzie was frustrated.
Fortunately, a knight for Dean McKenzie’s was on the way, so this skill wouldn’t be stowed away for long.
Dean McKenzie stored the skill away and moved on to open the last Skill Stone.
[You have used a skill stone, you’ve gained skill: Guardian Shield!]
Skill: Guardian Shield
Study conditions: Shield Warrior, Fourth-turn, Physique 3000
Finally, a skill that Dean McKenzie could use immediately was revealed.
Dean McKenzie immediately gave this skill to Old Four.
[Your Wraith Servant (Doggy Four) successfully learned the skill: Guardian Shield!]
Skill: Guardian Shield (Fourth-turn)
Level: 1
Cost: 30,000 Spirit Power
Effect: After activation, the Guardian Shield can be opened, linking to one unit, transferring the damage received by them to oneself.
Passively increases personal Physique by 20 times, offsets 30% of damage
Dean McKenzie examined the skill introduction of the Guardian Shield, his eyes narrowing in contemplation.
“So this is what a Fourth-turn skill is like?
The starting multiplier is 20 times!
Combining it with the skills I currently possess, I can roughly determine.
Basic skills should be between 1 and 5 times, First-turn skills are between 3 and 10 times, Second-turn skills range from 10 to 15 times, Third-turn is between 15 and 20 times.
Fourth-turn is over 20 times.
Of course, these are all base multiples, enhancement would definitely raise the upper limit!”
Old Four’s skill allowed Dean McKenzie to gain a deeper understanding of Fourth-turn skills.
It also made him realize that turning basic skills into godlike skills might not be out of reach, but it would be difficult, at least for his current third level talents.
But if the Talent Level could be raised, then all bets were off.
“If we follow the setup of the fourth and third turns, the fourth level talent should also undergo a transformation.
The effect of the talent should be able to have a drastic growth. I need to speed up the enhancement of this talent.”
While saying this, Dean McKeinze played with the ring possessing four locked effects in his hand.
This thing had no requirement for recognition, and Dean McKenzie could look at it the moment he put it on.
Having the ring in his hand, he wore it immediately, eagerly opening the ring’s storage space.
After all, the contents could potentially contain the entire fortune of a Fifth-turn powerhouse, which was something Dean McKenzie was looking forward to.
However, once Dean McKenzie opened the storage space of the ring, his expression fell.
Mostly because the items within fell far short of his expectations.
There weren’t many items inside, just about ten thousand Gold Coins. The rest consisted of some sundries and miscellany. As for equipment and tools, there was very little to speak of.
“Seriously, a Fifth-turn powerhouse is this poor?”
Dean McKenzie was puzzled when the system prompt refreshed.
[Detected Golden Equipment [Wizard’s Bachelor Hat] on your person, would you like to use it to repair the [Mysterious and Damaged Ring]?
As this system prompt refreshed, Dean McKenzie’s eyes squinted.
“I think I might know why this guy is so poor!”
Soon after, Dean McKenzie conducted a test with a piece of Silver Equipment and finally confirmed why that person was that poor.
Undoubtedly, all his money and equipment had been invested into this [Mysterious and Damaged Ring],
Just by looking at the property introduction of this ring, you would know it was uncommon.
Anyone could augment it by feeding it ordinary equipment, no one would hesitate to do so.
However, after Dean McKenzie experimented by feeding it two pieces of Silver Equipment and seeing almost no progress, he gave up on enhancing this thing.
“What the hell is this? When I fed it a Silver Equipment it didn’t even make a ripple, not a single splash. If I have this much money, wouldn’t it be better to enhance my skills and my Skeletons? They are still waiting for me to enhance them!”
Dean McKenzie directly stowed this thing away..
