Chapter 351: Star Ring and Levi
"It always feels a little too quiet."
Levi took out a torch and walked up the stairs step by step.
"Saruman, are you there?"
"If you don't come out, I'll burn this tower down."
Levi shouted, and after waiting for a while, there was still no movement.
Now he was sure that Saruman was not there.
Otherwise, after hearing this, he would have rushed out with his cane in hand and started scolding him.
Click.
The footsteps were particularly clear in the silent and dark tower. Levi walked up step by step, carefully observing the surrounding environment.
Just like that all the way to the top.
Crash——
The lampposts were lit by torches, and the room was once again filled with warm yellow light.
No one.
Levi looked around and saw only some notes scattered on the ground, a messy desk, and... a slightly burnt terrace floor, as if it had been struck by lightning.
"I'm afraid this is retribution."
Levi shook his head.
It seems that the battle at that time was more intense than he thought. Judging from the traces at the scene, the power of the thunder was so strong that it would probably break off a large section of his shield, let alone Gandalf and Saruman.
"Huh?"
Just as Levi searched the top floor of the tower and was about to look somewhere else, a silver light suddenly flashed in an inconspicuous corner of the ground, attracting his attention.
Levi squatted down and picked up the ray of light.
"ring?"
"The star of the netherworld?!"
This move really surprised Levi.
"Could it be Saruman who did this?"
He is the only one.
With a rustle, Levi picked up the notes that had fallen on the ground, and rummaged through the boxes to take out Saruman's old manuscripts, and finally found a name.
"Star Ring."
This is a ring of power that incorporates the star of the netherworld, and it can provide some powerful bonuses to the wearer.
"Its power is slightly higher than the Three Rings of the Elven Lord, but far inferior to the One Ring."
Levi could sense a hint of reluctance in Saruman's notes.
This white robe, or as he said, 'Saruman of all colors', he was still so obsessed with the One Ring and thought about it all the time.
Hmm...but, the Ring of Power.
Levi stared at the Star Ring in his hand and thought for a moment.
It stands to reason that each Ring of Power has its own unique authority that is almost at the rule level and a bonus to its own power, so what is the function of this Ring of Power that has merged with the Nether Star?
Driven by curiosity, Levi put on the ring.
Far away in some dark, spiked steel cage, Saruman, in tattered robes, suddenly opened his eyes.
A smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Interesting.”
On this side, in the high tower, as soon as Levi put on the ring, he immediately felt the difference.
A force spread from the Star Ring to the whole body.
The most intuitive thing is the health point, which is increased by half to 30 points. Wearing the ring is equivalent to obtaining a permanent health limit increase buff.
Then there was a wonderful feeling. His mind became clearer, his vision became clearer, his perception became sharper than before, and his reaction was faster...
Also, now he could actually vaguely sense the existence of "magic", which was usually something that only elves or some special, gifted beings could do.
Finally, the Star Ring also provides a strength bonus - not the kind of 'strength' displayed on the status bar, but an overall strength bonus to itself.
To put it in a way that is easier to understand, it is a 'hidden attribute' that can directly increase Levi's attack power proportionally.
It can probably increase by 20%.
These things that are not directly reflected in the attributes or buff columns make Levi feel quite amazing.
"Is this the Ring of Power? No wonder so many people are obsessed with it, willing to take the risk of corrupting their souls in order to possess it."
Theoretically, this ring can provide so many bonuses when worn on the hand of Levi, a human being. If it is worn on the hand of a wizard with stronger root power, the bonus will be even higher.
To some extent, it can be said to be enhanced in proportion to the wearer's original strength.
Oh, wait…
Experiencing the mystery of the Star Ring, Levi suddenly had a hunch, which was related to the magic perception bonus provided by the Star Ring.
"Oh, there is another function I overlooked."
It can also provide a beacon effect.
After thinking about it, Levi chose to increase resistance.
This thing can provide 20% damage reduction at level one, which is very useful.
Dragon Steel Armor, Rune Shield, Permanent Resistance Enhancement Buff... This is really tough as nails.
Pretty good.
Although the effect strength is one level lower than the maximum upper limit of the beacon and only one level one buff can be selected, the Star Ring is a ring after all. It is more convenient and only provides bonuses to the wearer, so it will not benefit the enemy.
Saruman had forged something really good.
It’s a pity that he can’t find anyone else, otherwise Levi would really have to consider paying some price to exchange this thing for his own use.
The motivation to find Saruman was further increased.
But where is this guy? Levi grabbed his hair, quite confused.
The Star Ring seemed to have some mysterious guidance, but to Levi this guidance was like a new language he had never learned, leaving him with only doubts.
I can't understand it.
The smile on someone's face somewhere far away slowly disappeared.
never mind.
There are people who are better at this stuff.
After another detailed search of the Isengard Valley and making sure there were no other noteworthy clues, Levi mounted his horse and rode back.
There is a ready-made Gandalf in the roadside fort, so just go back and ask him.
Even if Gandalf doesn't understand, there is still Elrond. If that doesn't work, he can go to the Golden Forest to find Lady Galadriel. There will always be someone who can understand.
"Wait for me, Saruman."
…
"Boromir! Boromir!!"
In the East City of Osgiliath, the soldiers of Gondor shouted excitedly the name of the man standing at the highest point.
Boromir planted the flag of Gondor on the ruins again. He raised the iron sword in his hand, which was emitting a faint light, and shouted:
"This city was once the jewel of our kingdom, a place of light, beauty, and music, and it will be restored to its former glory!"
"yeah!!"
The inspiring preaching drew enthusiastic response from the soldiers.
"The armies of Mordor should remember this - the lands where the people live will never fall into enemy hands again!"
"The city of Osgiliath has been reclaimed by Gondor!"
"For Gondor!"
"For Gondor!!" Soldiers all over the city cheered.
Just last month, the Ringwraiths, who had returned from nowhere, suddenly led their army to launch a general attack, and almost all the Orcs on the border came out in full force.
The Ringwraiths and the hybrid flying dragon under their crotch were too ferocious. The roar of the giant beasts was terrifying. The Ringwraiths were like a green sun scattered in the air, emitting bursts of terrifying light and evil aura.
Even with its high and strong walls, Osgiliath could not hold out against such a powerful force.
For ordinary people, the Ringwraiths are supermodels. If there is no means to restrain them, they will be suppressed by them.
But fortunately - I don't know how it came about, but the news arrived just before the Ringwraiths led their army to arrive.
The two generals stationed in the city at that time, Boromir and Faramir, discussed it and finally decided to retreat temporarily at the strong suggestion of Faramir.
The two of them were not afraid of the Ringwraiths and dared to rush forward to fight, but the soldiers were afraid. Once the aura of fear was turned on, they could not fight at all.
This choice was correct and they avoided some unnecessary losses.
The army of Gondor crossed the bridge, abandoned the East City of Osgiliath, and guarded the West City on the other side for a long time until the Ringwraiths received some orders to leave again. Boromir led his army to launch a counterattack, expelled the Orcs at the lowest cost, and recaptured the East City again.
When Boromir came down from the height, Faramir immediately went to meet him.
As soon as they met, they smiled and gave each other a tight hug.
Needless to say, their brotherhood is deep.
"Well said, short and sharp," Faramir commented on the speech.
"Save time so you can drink to your heart's content!"
Boromir also had his reasons for being short.
“Hahahahahahaha—”
The two brothers laughed together and celebrated their victory.
Until another person comes.
