Chapter 20
The Gargoyle was one of the top picked guardians for a Mage. This was only because Mages could utilize its usefulness as much as possible. Although the Gargoyle was a useful guardian, it was a colossal waste merely to use it as a shield. As such, other than its primary use, a lot of Mages also like to use it as a safety box.
And these two Gargoyles were just the same.
Rhode found a lot of good things. As a level 15 rare elite, the Gargoyle’s ‘loots’ were worthy of their rarity. In addition to precious gems, crystal and gold coins, Rhode also found three kinds of magical equipment.
All of these were great equipment. If sold to the auction house, it would provide a lot of money.
Unfortunately, these equipment were meant for casters.
In the end, Rhode gave these pieces of equipment to Lize. As a Cleric, even though she was a non-combat class, these equipment were still useful to her. He gave her the Ice Talisman and the Oath Keeper but kept the Ring of Fog for himself. In the game, this ring helped a lot of players to solo a dungeon, so he unreservedly kept the ring for himself.
Not to mention, Mages were usually very rich.
But Rhode did not care about the money. His years of experience as a player had taught him that money could be earned gradually. But no matter how much money one could make, it would still never be enough.
Because there were things that even money couldn’t buy.
For example, another function of the Gargoyle’s Heart.
Force level upgrade and summoned spirit evolution +1
The summoned spirit’s experience was shared with the holder. Usually in the battle, if Rhode earned 1000 EXP, in truth he will only receive 700. The other 300 EXP will be given to the summon spirit. Even though 30% of the EXP didn’t seem like much, but it meant that the more EXP he got, the more it would be deducted.
This was another reason why the Spirit Swordsman class was more difficult to level up than the other classes. Let’s say Rhode took another class. If he was a level 8 player and he received a five-man dungeon clear EXP, his level should rise to approximately level 12 or 13. But in contrast to the Spirit Swordsman, because of the Green Bird and Star Mark, he would just level up to 10 instead.
As for his summoning item…
A summoned spirit highest level was 10. After reaching Level 10, they could evolve. After evolving, not only would they change form, but their level cap would increase by 10 again. The Gargoyle’s Heart could force a summon spirit to skip 10 levels and then evolve once. This way, not only he could save up more EXP, but it could also reduce the leveling time.
What things could money not buy?
Time could not be bought with money.
Rhode did not know the level limit for the Star Mark. But according to his experience, the level of summoning card deck that positioned at the end of the deck was usually not too high, and three evolutions were the limit. If he fused it with the two Gargoyle’s Heart on his hand, then at least when he fought the same level monster, the sword wouldn’t rob his experience anymore because of the forced upgrade.
But…
Rhode fell into deep thought. This Holy Sword card was unique. When he got it from the B&M Company’s director, he clearly told him that in this world, there’s only one of this card. At that time, Rhode didn’t really bother about the details, but thinking of it now, he felt a bit strange.
Only one?
But didn’t the system prompt explicitly informed him that he only acquired 1/10 of the eternal deck? Then how did it became the only one? So how about the remaining nine?
Nevertheless, this deck did not even exist in the game because it was just a souvenir in reality. In the Dragon Soul Continent history, he had never heard about this sword. This could not be hidden from the game since he got this deck when he had won the game championship. Because his guild was called the Starlight Guild, the company had specially designed this deck of cards for him as a prize and memento. This kind of rushed product was impossible to enter the game system.
But no matter what, he would still try it.
Rhode stretched his right hand and held one of the gems in his hand. In an instant, a line of system prompt appeared in front of him.
Use.
Rhode made an answer in his heart.
Followed by Rhode’s answer, the magic circle on his right hand immediately emerge a small magic light. After that, the dark red gem broke into tiny shards which disappeared under this light. Soon, a new information appeared in front of him.
Star Mark.
Rhodes lowered his head and replied in his heart.
Yes.
The white card once again appeared on his hand, the light emitting from it made Lize and Matt curiously stare at it.
At the same time, lines of system prompt appeared in front of him.
Not bad!
Looking at these system prompts, Rhode nodded his head. Star Mark had three special skills, and these skills were directly attached to the weapon. It means that when he used these skills, it wouldn’t consume his Soul Power. Three times per day for each skill each was also considered to be top grade. These skills would surely be useful in the next battle.
But the next system prompt caught him off guard.
