Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Brooke took two formation masters and rode the ancient dragon Elder to the Dragon Valley, where he met Ning Yu and others in the teleportation valley.

"Senior, please be careful." Brook said goodbye to Ning Yu.

"You too, take care!" Ning Yu already knew that Brook and Bayin were returning to the Dragon Empire.

Brook left, but didn't return to the city immediately. Instead, he visited a few particularly wealthy ancient dragon lairs. His backpack had been full before, but now it was much emptier. Since he'd come all this way, he couldn't leave empty-handed, so he took some. It wasn't much, so the dragons probably wouldn't be too angry.

The backpack was quickly filled. Brook found a safe place, activated the return stone, and positioned himself for 12 seconds before returning to the safe zone of the World of Warcraft battlefield.

It was already 2 a.m., the monks had all gone to bed, and there was no one around the Furnace of Heaven and Earth.

Brook first went to the auction house to consign over 20 pieces of top-quality equipment. He then retrieved all the teleportation rings from the warehouse and came to the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

First put the third-order teleportation ring in, and then put the 8 teleportation rings in one by one as upgrade materials. One of the teleportation rings is a second-order one, so as a material, one is worth two.

The white light flickered continuously for three minutes before fading away. Brooke took it out.

The teleportation ring has been upgraded successfully to the top level!

Brook put it on, and with a thought, it disappeared. Looking at the white snow-capped peaks in front of him, Brook couldn't help laughing!

Back at the Crucible of Heaven and Earth, Brook upgraded his Detection Necklace, Invisibility Ring, Paralysis Ring, and Protection Ring to Level 3. Of the eight artifacts Brook frequently used, his Teleportation Ring was already at the top level, his Resurrection Ring was at Level 2, and the remaining six had all reached Level 3.

Detection Necklace Level 3: Can see everything within 500 yards (the effect is like inserting a real eye)

Invisibility Ring Level 3: Increases the invisibility effect, making it harder to detect and able to pass through the body.

Paralysis Ring Level 3: Group skills can also trigger paralysis effects.

Level 3 Protection Ring: Blocks one abnormal negative state every 15 seconds. (No need to wear it, just put it in your backpack to take effect, automatically blocks the negative state, and does not lose mana when taking damage)

Defense Ring Level 3: Creates a defensive barrier that provides 1000 times the wearer's magic points. Cooldown: 12 hours.

Skill Necklace Level 3: Limits the chance of triggering the upper limit of the opponent's attack and defense, with a maximum of 100% triggering the lower limit.

As for the Flame Ring, Brook was a Taoist priest and rarely used it. But he still had one in his backpack, and it was still at level one.

Bayin's flame ring is already at the third level. In addition to increasing fire damage by 50%, it can also release a group fire wall, provided that the wearer has the fire wall skill.

The upgrade wasn't over yet. While no one was around, Brook took out some costumes and started upgrading them until his weapons and clothes reached the highest level, level 5.

Level 5 fashion weapon, Scarlet Soul Breaker: Attack/Magic/Taoism 336-96, Accuracy +10 Agility +10 Holy +10, increases attack damage by 21%, reduces damage taken by 21%, increases character health by 21%, ignores target defense by 21%, increases target burst rate by 21%, reduces own burst rate by 21%.

Level 5 fashion clothes, Phantom*Dawnbreaker: Attack/Magic/Taoism 252-72, Defense/Magic Defense 336-96, Accuracy +10 Agility +10 Holy +10, increases attack damage by 21%, reduces damage received by 21%, increases character health by 21%, ignores target defense by 21%, increases target burst rate by 21%, reduces own burst rate by 21%.

The attack and defense added by the costumes themselves aren't very high, but the additional percentage stats are very strong. Of course, the most powerful thing is the added sacred attribute, which is usually not obvious, but it can be extremely effective when encountering monsters with tens or hundreds of millions of health points.

Brook also helped Bayin put together a set of 4th level costumes, with +8 sacred attributes and 15% other increases, which is also very good. In addition, there is also a set of 3rd level costumes, which he gave to Muyue after leaving.

Finally, Brook combined the Medals of Honor, creating two tier 12 Medals of Honor, with a 26% chance of dealing an additional 6400 damage. The tier 12 Medal was already the highest tier, and there was no way to go any higher.

Brook teleported to the top of the mountain, sat cross-legged opposite Bayin, and meditated to rest.

※※※※※※※

early morning.

Brooke and Bayin arrived in the city and headed towards the vortex passage. Unexpectedly, a long line of five or six hundred people had already formed in front of the vortex passage. These people were eager to return home and had been queuing all night.

"Look, it's Brooke and Bayin!"

"Hey, does the Dragon Knight have to queue up too?"

"Are they going back to the Dragon Empire too?"

"They have ancient dragons, and they can walk around the Warcraft battlefield freely, killing monsters and getting equipment at will. Why would they go out?"

"I don't know. I've hardly seen them in the Warcraft Arena in the past two months."

"Maybe there's something urgent going on."

"Maybe even in the Dragon Empire we can summon giant dragons..."

Everyone whispered.

"Brook, Bayin! Just come over here, no need to queue!" Tao Yu saw the two of them and waved to them.

Huh? No need to queue? The crowd was in an uproar.

"Silence! The Commander-in-Chief has specifically instructed that Brooke and Bayin are doing something extremely beneficial to the Empire, and the Imperial Guard should make every effort to accommodate them. So, there's no need to queue!" Tao Yu said loudly, then called out again, "Come here quickly, you two. I'll process your paperwork first."

Something extremely beneficial? What was it? It sounded mysterious and powerful. The crowd began to discuss again.

Brook and Bayin readily followed suit, teleporting directly to Tao Yu with a whoosh. The fact that they both possessed the artifact was already common knowledge, so there was no need to hide it any longer; they could do whatever was convenient for them.

After completing the formalities quickly, Brooke Bayin said goodbye to Tao Yu and entered the vortex channel together.

As soon as I walked out of the passage and appeared in the underground cave of the 8th level continent, I immediately heard someone around me whispering:

"Bayin, Brook!"

"Dragon Knight?"

"It's really them!"

"I'm Captain Tian Bang of the Whirlpool Passage Guard. Nice to meet you both! I apologize for any offense I've caused you before, but please forgive me. The commander-in-chief has specifically instructed that if there's anything urgent, I need to contact you as soon as possible. So, could you both do me the honor of adding me as a friend? Ha~ Thank you so much! Thank you so much!"

Brook and Bayin accepted Tian Bang's friend request. When he came here, everyone hated him; now that he's out, he's completely changed. That's good.

Activating the teleportation ring, they arrived at the main courtyard of the Wenren family in a flash.

Brook, Bayin, and Wenren Muxue went to the inner study to meet Wenren Tianxiang. They talked about what happened in the Warcraft battlefield and chatted for an hour.

Brooke asked about the Wenren family's situation. Muxue told him that Wenren Muyue had been staying in Wushuang City recently, diligently farming the White Tiger Secret Stone, which was said to be fully stockpiled. He had recently fought through Jiayin Pass with Wenren Mufeng and Linghu Zhong, obtaining a steamed bun bag. Yesterday, they had also entered the Battle of Red Cliffs together, and it was said that the battle had reached its final critical moment. They planned to use the teleportation ring and paralysis ring to give it another try.

"Where is Yuan Bufan?" Brook asked.

"Yuan Bufan had already reached level 7 last week. However, the "Mad Thunder Purple Lightning" has not appeared in the ore auctions of Wolong Villa in recent months, so we probably have to wait for a while. Now he is still in the Zodiac Temple, and he is very lucky. He has helped our Wenren family to get more than 30 zodiac signs. I heard that he originally only wanted to put together a set of lunar zodiac signs, but accidentally got two solar zodiac signs, and the family warehouse happened to have two ready-made ones. He has now adjusted his goal and is working hard for the solar zodiac signs." Wenren Muxue said.

"We took away Tuoba Hongye and Xiao Renlong's divine weapons. Have their families caused trouble for the Wenren family?" Brook asked again.

"At the beginning, they did come to cause trouble, especially Xiao Renlong from Wolong Villa. He was very arrogant and ridiculed my Wenren family for not even having a decent 7th-rank master. It was not until my father got up from his wheelchair and exchanged a few moves with him that his arrogance was suppressed. But he still made a fuss about demanding compensation from us. On the third day, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor pardoned you two and sent people to mediate. He also spread the news that you could summon ancient dragons. Xiao Renlong left unwillingly. But before he left, he said that the matter was not over yet." Wenren Muxue said.

This matter is indeed not over yet. The Dragon Emperor's mediation only provides a temporary buffer between the two sides. However, the artifact dropped by the deceased cannot be reconciled with just one sentence. The other party will definitely do everything they can to reclaim it.

Brooke still had quite a few artifacts in his warehouse, so returning them to him wouldn't be a big deal. But the problem was, he was constantly looking for trouble with them. If they took back the detection necklace and teleportation ring, and continued to hunt them down, continuing to be their enemy, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

"Xiao Renlong should be waiting for the owner of Wolong Villa, Xiao Renfeng, to finish his retreat. If Xiao Renfeng comes in person... Your Majesty will not be able to stop him. Brook, can you summon an ancient dragon in the Dragon Empire?" Wenren Tianxiang asked.

Brooke shook his head slowly. The Dragon Empire was too far from the Warcraft battlefield, and the dragon scales Elder had given him might not be able to reach them. Even if Eldere received the signal, without Brooke's guidance, the Dragon Empire wouldn't allow the ancient dragon to pass through the vortex passage.

"I'm afraid not. The distance is too great and it will be troublesome. Uncle, please rest assured. Bayin and I were able to kill Tuoba Hongye and Xiao Renlong when we were level 6. Now that we are level 7, even if Xiao Renfeng is very powerful, we are not afraid of her."

"It's not enough to just not be afraid; if you just run away, you will still be in a passive position. If you don't want to return the artifact, you must defeat her completely! Just like you rode the dragon and killed Xiao Yan in the fountain, so that she won't dare to disobey!" Wenren Tianxiang said.

Brooke acquiesced in silence. Wenren Tianxiang was right; he still hoped Brooke could summon a dragon to resolve the situation. But he didn't know that summoning a dragon wasn't as simple as summoning a divine beast.

"Think about it again. Xiao Renfeng's retreat to overcome the tribulation will not end so soon, so there is no need to worry too much for now." Wenren Tianxiang comforted.

"Okay. Bayin and I plan to go to Wushuang City. We'll deal with this matter when we come back."

How to resolve the issues surrounding the Tuoba family and Wolong Villa depended on the outcome of this trip to Wushuang City. If Zuo Ci could be found in Dingjun Mountain, and if a breakthrough could be achieved, even without the dragon, they could seize the initiative.

Before leaving, Brook and Bayin gave Wenren Muxue a large number of equipment, including medals, shields, crystals, gems, fashions, and inner elixirs, with a total value of more than 3000 million, even exceeding the inventory of the Wenren family.

Finally, Brook gave Wenren Muxue a paralysis ring. Wenren Muxue and Wenren Mufeng were both warriors, and the Wenren family only had one paralysis ring before, which was not enough.

Before the Warcraft War, everyone in the Wenren family must try their best to improve their strength and survive.

"Don't leave in a hurry. You just came back from the Warcraft battlefield and haven't had breakfast yet, right? Manager Li has already prepared cakes and tea in the Yuhu Hall. Let's go have something to eat together." Wenren Tianxiang stood up and invited.

Brooke and Bayin had been in the Wenren Family for so long, but it was rare for them to sit down and have a proper meal. So, the four of them went to the Yuhu Hall in the inner courtyard and had a hearty breakfast together.

Walking out of the inner courtyard, the sun had just risen.

The two were teleported to Wushuang City.

"Good morning, sir!" Brooke greeted from a distance.

"Brook, long time no see! Dragon Knight Bayinbrook, haha, your deeds have been spreading recently. I say, Brook, can you really summon a dragon? Come on, summon one for me to see." The elder of Wushuang City said with a smile.

"Now? No. That ancient dragon has a very bad temper. It costs a lot of effort to summon it. I really don't want to summon it unless I have to. I will summon it to you next time I have the chance." Brook replied.

"Okay. Which ancient battlefield are you going to this time? Yesterday, someone from your Wenren family entered the Battle of Red Cliffs and hasn't come out yet."

"You don't have to go to Chibi, any one will do. Let me check the list. Oh, the Battle of Dingjun Mountain hasn't started yet?"

"Yeah, no one's going in yet."

"Then let's do it. Please teleport us in and choose the side of Wei."

"Alright. The Battle of Dingjun Mountain, Wei side, 4-star difficulty, begins!"
