Chapter 778: Artifact Part 2

In the entire set of combined artifacts, if only looking at the power of a single artifact component, usually only the component that is the ultimate carrier of the artifact power has the strongest ability and can bring the greatest increase to the user.
Compared with the rest of the artifact combination, this kind of component that is the ultimate carrier of the artifact power is often the most important and also more precious. If you want to collect it, I don’t know how much energy it takes.
Due to the special nature that exists on the combined artifact, the name corresponding to the combined artifact often also indicates the corresponding artifact power carrier component.
For example, there is a slight relationship with Rhodes, and Rhodes has always started to collect the "Titan Arrow", and its corresponding carrier component is the sword of Titan among the artifact components.
When all the artifact parts are collected, the truly powerful abilities of the combined artifacts will be presented on this special weapon, and the glory of the artifact is truly blooming.
According to the information known by Rod, as the protagonist of the plot in the second expansion, Sandro has two artifacts, named "Ghost King's Cloak" and "Cursed Armor".
The names of these two combined artifacts have to a large extent foreshadowed the artifact parts corresponding to the artifact power carrier, namely a cloak-type artifact part and a armor type part.
Under the influence of the power of the artifact, the components as the final carrier will undergo great changes in appearance in order to show the ultimate ability of the artifact. The origin of the name of the combined artifact is also precisely because of this.
In addition to the combination of artifacts that require specific artifact parts to play the final effect, Rhode knows that there is another type of artifact in the entire game, that is, only a single piece can be effective. Independent artifact.
Compared to the combined artifact, the additional attributes of the independent artifact and the overall improvement of the user may be far less than the combined artifact, but the existence of the independent artifact still has a special and irreplaceable effect.
In the impression of Rhodes, the magic ball in Tanan's hands is such an independent artifact. It does not require other artifact components to be combined with each other to be able to exert its original effect.
Relying on the existence of Forbidden Magic Ball, Tanan was able to set off the war in the first expansion, and once suppressed the Master of Bracada. If the forbidden magic ball is replaced with any other artifact, Tanan may not be able to do this.
At some point, the effects that independent artifacts can produce are not much worse than combined artifacts, and can even be reversed to achieve things that combined artifacts cannot.
The effect of the artifact is unique. There is no artifact that can be replaced by other artifacts with similar effects.
Regardless of the attributes of the artifact itself, the appearance of any artifact will have a very special impact on the entire game world.
The existence of artifacts, whether they are combined artifacts that require multiple parts to cooperate, or independent artifacts with special effects and separate sets, they have enough effects to have a great impact on the existing forces in this game world.
Let Rhode care a little, according to the previous game, the player's research on the artifact-related matters, the boundary between the independent artifact and the combined artifact, but it seems extremely vague.
According to the theory put forward by the players at that time, under certain special circumstances, as long as they meet certain conditions and are processed by the most highly skilled alchemists, even the original independent set of single artifacts can be split and transformed For the combination of artifacts, this is even the origin of many combined artifacts.
In the previous game, Rod said that he had heard of such a theory, but he did not put it in his heart, and even did not recognize this in his heart.
In Rhode's view, there should be an obvious boundary between the combined artifact and the independent artifact. It should not be changed by anything. Rhode does not think that there is anything that can make the most powerful artifact. change.
However, the things that Rod experienced, whether it was the formation of the Titan Arrow during the inheritance mission, or the fragments of the forbidden ball currently carried, explained this to Rod, even if it was an independent artifact. After satisfying certain conditions, it can be transformed into a combined artifact.
In the impression of Rod, in the matter he perceived at the last moment of the inheritance mission, the giant Titan's initial forging of the artifact Titan Arrow was to make it into an independent artifact, but it was only completed during the forging After that, it seemed to realize what it was, and then it was split up to form the final combined artifact.
Recalling what he once felt during the inheritance mission, about Crom at the last minute, Rhode's impression of the way the Titan's arrow was handled was extremely vague.
At that time, Rhode didn't pay attention to this point. Until then, when he recalled the matter related to the artifact, he didn't realize the problem.
The fragment of the forbidden ball carried by Rhode changed Rhode's existing view of the artifact.
In the impression of Rod, through the ability associated with Rowling's bloodline perception, he once felt the memory of the death knight Tarvic controlled by Rowling.
The ability attached to the blood kinship perception allows Rod to understand what happened once more intuitively than through language alone. It is precisely because of this that Rod felt the anomaly of the fragments of the forbidden magic ball in his hand.
In the memory of this former hero Thunderbird, Rhode generally observed the immersive, Tanan's treatment of the magic ball.
What surprised Rod was that Tanan, in the process of dealing with this special independent artifact of Forbidden Magic Ball, did not assist him through various materials like the alchemy method that Rod understood, but only used his hands. Weapons, blunt to deal with.
Through this action of Tanan, Rhode understood that Tanan realized his weaknesses as soon as the war with the Master of Brakada began.
Although the effect of the Forbidden Magic Ball is extremely powerful, it can guarantee the victory of the barbarian creatures on the frontal battlefield, but the range it can cover is still extremely limited.
Especially in the face of the extremely large forces such as Bracada, the existence of a single banned ball cannot guarantee Tanan’s victory in multi-line combat. Except for the army he himself led, the rest of the barbaric army fighting the mages, It will still be suppressed by the mage.
