The Death List Novel - Chapter 601
Chapter 601 Fire Worshipping Totem
A-level Eye Scroll-Nine Layers of Hell: First Layer Border, Second Lust, Third Taotie, Fourth Greed, Fifth Layer Anger, Sixth Heresy, Seventh Layer Violence, Eighth Layer Deception, Ninth Layer Betrayal.
Compared to the shocking description of the skill scroll, this skill was actually not as terrifying as he had imagined. It was an illusion pupil skill that could simulate the illusion pupil skill of a nine-level hell.
This pupil skill required a bit of skill. It required the caster’s perception and spiritual will attributes to increase by 200 points. Qin Lun was completely satisfied with this point. His perception and spiritual will had already broken through a hundred times under the amplification of the equipment and the Iron Cross.
However, this was only the basic requirement of this skill. The effect of this skill depended on the spellcaster’s eyes, as well as the enemy’s perception and spiritual will. The stronger the spellcaster’s eyes, the stronger the skill’s power, and the lower the enemy’s perception and spiritual will, the easier it would be to be struck.
In other words, if Qin Lun were to cast this illusion on a magical profession like Hill, who was comparable in strength to him, then it was unlikely that he would succeed in most cases. After all, he was a hunter profession. No matter how strong his perception and spiritual will were, it was unlikely that he would surpass a law profession with similar strength.
Of course, there were countless illusion skills like the Nine Layers of Hell. The reason why Qin Lun had taken a fancy to this skill was naturally because it was extraordinary. First of all, this skill’s level was high enough. The higher the level of a spell skill, the stronger the battle judgment would be. Only a strong judgment skill could have an impact on high-level or even legendary professions.
Secondly, in the introduction of this skill, the starry sky simulates some illusion effect diagrams. Those few illustrations that could almost be faked seemed to have allowed Qin Lun to see the real image of hell in an instant. Especially the second level of perverted lust hell and the seventh level of cruel and bloody violence hell. That kind of lifelike mirror image could definitely make people mistaken it for true.
Most of the nine levels of hell in this illusion corresponded to some kind of desire or evil deed in the hearts of intelligent creatures. It was easy to resonate in some way, which was also the main reason why Qin Lun was optimistic about it.
“The starting price of 500,000 broken crystals!” Looking at the markings on the auction list, Qin Lun took a deep breath. Five hundred thousand broken crystals could already buy an ordinary Sub-Legendary Equipment, but it was actually just the starting price for a skill scroll.
However, Qin Lun had to admit that only at the Three-tailed Kite Club did he really see the sale of A-class skill scrolls. In the past, not to mention the A-class skill scrolls, even the B-class skill scrolls were rare in the auction houses and half-plane trading grounds in Devil’s horn. Almost no one sold them.
After ticking the skill scroll, Qin Lun rubbed his eyebrows. After thinking for a long time and searching, he felt a little tired.
He stood up, let go of the auction board, and took a stroll around the manor’s vestibule. After entering the club for more than half a day, Kelly never came back to look for him. It seemed that the female Tyrannosaurus rex had either forgotten him to the side or had been secretly discussing something with others.
After eating something in front of the self-help form, Qin Lun quickly returned to the auction area and looked at the auction list again.
Looking at it, he suddenly realized that one of the two orders he had booked had been completed, and the bid for the other order was covered by other Apostle, and the auction board was prompting him to continue bidding.
One of the two orders was for Magic Scroll, which was bundled up for sale. It was the cold scroll of the lethal ray and the Eye Demon Will. There was also an order for five stone statues and ghost statues. These two transactions cost a total of 350,000 broken crystals.
Qin Lun checked it carefully and cancelled a portion of the already overflowing bidding. Then, he refreshed the other bidding and looked at the Equipment Item column again.
Very quickly, he was attracted to the world treasure on the auction list. It was a scarlet and translucent orb, about the size of a goose egg, and it emitted a flaming mist that could be seen with the naked eye.
This item was described as a “highly concentrated fire elemental core”, but there was also a label below, indicating that it was an unknown object that had yet to fully discover the uses of Laws in the shattered starry sky.
Apostle brought into the world treasures of the Shattered Universe from various mission worlds. There were incomparably diverse types of treasures. Sometimes, they would indeed produce such treasures that even the Shattered Universe did not know anything about.
There were usually two reasons for this. If it was because the laws of this thing were very simple and clear, it might be related to the unexplored historical storyline of the Broken Star System, so the Broken Star System could only give an introduction to the unknown.
Another reason was that some of the Laws of this object belonged to unanalyzed fragments of the starry sky, and Apostle was unwilling to submit it to the starry sky. Therefore, the starry sky could only give an introduction of what was already known, ignoring the ununderstood Laws fragments.
The purpose of this item was to increase the power of fire-type spells, and it could also be used as a magic source for fire-type spells. Every three natural days, he would be able to gather enough fire elemental energy to cast an [A +] skill.
With Qin Lun’s current strength, using an [A +] class Tree Realm to descend would require a large amount of external support. One could imagine how valuable this fire elemental core was. The ability to cast [A] class magical skills without relying on external objects was basically the patent of those high-tier Apostle.
However, what attracted Qin Lun’s attention was not the function of the item that had been marked, but that he had seen it before. To be exact, he had seen another version of this thing.
Back in the Hunter World, Firework Rand had completed a side story to obtain the ability to read alterations. It was about seizing the Ahura Mazda bronze statue from the gang’s auction house.
Ahura Mazda was the master god of a fire-based ancient religion, Zoroastrianism. The bronze statue of Ahula Mazda that Qin Lun had seen was holding a crimson orb that emitted a flaming mist.
This thing was obviously not only the fire element core of the physical attribute, it was also a Zoroastrian faith totem. No wonder the Broken Star System listed it as an unknown object. Without understanding the meaning of the totem of faith, the starry sky naturally couldn’t give any introduction other than the laws of physics.
“This thing must be very important to Rand. Back then, in order to obtain the bronze statue of Ahura Mazda, that brat would rather go into the headquarters of the Phantom Brigade. After that, he not only gave me a pair of scarlet eyes, he also gave me a companion card after returning!” A smile appeared in Qin Lun’s eyes.
After returning to the Hunter World, he happened to run into Ganluo and Black who forcefully invaded the villa, trying to force him to join the Chaos Alliance. At that time, in order to avoid calamity, Qin Lun chose to head to the next mission world, the Toril world.
At that time, the other murderers had all helped him, and Rand had even given him a special treasure from the Hunter’s World, the Peer Card. This peer card also lived up to everyone’s expectations, saving his life in Toril World, allowing him to successfully escape from the Undead Mountain Valley trapped by the Undead and teleport directly into Tower of Durrag.
Qin Lun was still cold and cruel to outsiders, but after experiencing so many things in the Broken Universe and the Otherworlds, his emotions were much richer. He no longer treated his recognized companions as mere chess pieces.
He always remembered Firework Rand’s favor back then. Now that he had encountered what Rand needed, he naturally wanted to buy it. Moreover, Rand was also one of the candidates to enter Toril World together.
The world token Kelly gave him allowed three Apostle to enter Toril World together. Kieran himself had to take a spot. Shepherd Hill had attracted the hatred of the Chaos Alliance, so he had to take advantage of this opportunity to avoid it.
The final spots were given to Grant, Hansen, and Rand. Because of the particularity of Toril’s world, the three of them all wished to go in and experience it. At that time, Qin Lun thought of returning Rand’s favor and voted for him.
The starting price of an unknown object with a “highly concentrated fire elemental core” was 500,000 broken crystals. It could only be used as an item to amplify fire-type magic skills. Of course, it was not worth the price.
However, the people who sold the items in the club were all high-grade Apostle. These people had experienced countless different spacetimes. Even if they didn’t know that this item was related to the Zoroastrian faith totem, they could guess some reasons and wouldn’t let others take advantage of it by mistake.
After checking this item, Qin Lun had less than 600,000 broken crystals. Although he could still buy other items, the bidding for several important items was still being refreshed. He needed to reserve some funds.
As time passed, the bidding for several consumables that Qin Lun had ordered ended very quickly. The price of magic scrolls was always limited. Most of the high-grade Apostle that were consigned here also needed money to buy things. It was impossible for them to wait until the auction ended for two days before completing their consignment.
In the end, Qin Lun managed to snatch the popular Tier 9 Fire Magic Meteor Pendant, along with the two Tier 7 Magic Holy Light Healing and Earth Cage, and bought a jar of armor worms.
These two items cost him a total of 750,000 broken crystals. In addition to the lethal rays and the Eye Demon Will Scroll, as well as the five statues, he had already spent 1.1 million broken crystals on consumables.
The [A] class skill that Qin Lun longed for-Nine Layers of Hell-had also been bought. However, because of the constant competition during this period, the transaction price was frighteningly high. Originally, he had thought that 600,000 to 700,000 A-class skills could be traded, so he had no choice but to set aside an extra budget and spend an entire million broken crystals.
A-class skills were indeed rare, but skills that cost millions of dollars were extremely rare. This was already equivalent to the price of two sub-legendary items or one high-grade legendary item. Originally, Qin Lun had planned to give up on more than 700,000 broken crystals. In the end, the reason why he had obtained this skill was because he had consulted [Ghost Child] Cassie for a moment of curiosity.
According to Cassie, this A-class skill, Level 9 Hell, might have the value of advancing, that is, it had a certain chance of becoming an S-class skill. Any [S] class skill was a taboo ability, so there was naturally only one taboo ability for illusions, and that was manifestation.
With an [A] class skill that was upgraded to [S] class, one million broken crystals could already be considered cheap. It was because the quality of the Nine Layers of Hell was a little low that the other competitors gave up because they were only A-class now and their chances of advancing were very low.
