Chapter 32: Domain: Temperance
..
[Description: When the wand is fully charged, it can instantly cause up to three targets to fall into a violent coughing state.]
..
[Note: When coughing, the target's Focus will be reduced by at least 10 points.]
[If the coughing target was located in a crowd, it could quickly cause a small-scale infection.]
[The duration of coughing depended on the target's Level and Immunity.]
[You cannot make legendary, undead, and mechanical units cough.]
[This staff can ignore all defensive spells below legendary;
[There is a certain chance that the coughing state will be dispelled by a high-level priest...]
..
A small divine artifact!
When he saw the explanation, he was stunned.
Matthew knew that his usage of the Advanced Identification Scroll was worth it.
"This thing is simply the bane of spellcasters!"
He fondly caressed the smooth side of the staff.
" Focus " was the most important attribute of spellcasting. If one did not focus enough, it was very likely that the spellcasting would fail, and the consequences of the failure were often extremely tragic.
Imagine this.
A high-level mage who had carefully set up a defense was passionately chanting a high-level spell that could turn the tide of the battle. Suddenly, his throat felt itchy, and his eyes rolled back.
The spell stuck and turned into a cough!
Then, what happened next?
While his focus was being cut off, he still had to endure the terrifying spell backlash!
Mages and Warlocks were not the only ones who could be affected by this wand.
It could also interrupt Druid's, Shaman's, and Bard's spellcasting.
One step further.
Rogues, who needed high-precision movements to maintain their threat in battle, would also suffer setbacks.
High-level Warriors, Monks, Sword Saints, and other resistant monsters could probably cough while hacking at people.
The others would be affected to varying degrees.
As for the Priest.
"In this era where the gods are far away, it's not that easy to meet a priest.
"No wonder the Antu Empire is so crazy. Psionic energy does have its merits!"
Matthew held the psionic staff tightly in his hand.
After a moment of excitement, he frowned slightly.
Because in the next line of the description, there was another sentence:
..
[Staff charging method unknown (insufficient psionic knowledge)]
..
Even an advanced identification scroll could not figure out its full appearance, which showed how rare psionic knowledge was.
However, Matthew was not in a hurry.
This scroll had already helped him determine the direction of the information search. Next, he just needed to find a way to collect knowledge, such as the charging method of psionic items.
"It seems that I have to find time to visit the 'Crucible House' and find the Tower Spirit, who is extremely lacking in love to inquire about Master Ronan's recent situation."
He thought about it.
Matthew put away the psionic staff properly.
Then, according to the usual practice, he began to review tonight's encounter.
..
"In a situation where I suddenly encounter a large number of enemies, it's not a problem to abandon the ordinary skeleton soldiers.
"However, I could still do better in terms of distance control. My clothes were already stained with blood. If I asked Peggy to wash my clothes later, she would nag at me again. This was very embarrassing."
..
"The defensive spell in the Defensive Psalm is indeed impressive. The second-tier infected body can't go through the shield at all, but it can probably take a few hits from the third-tier Violent Zerg Guard.
"There were still some blank pages at the back of the spellbook, which seemed to be able to be filled with some other defensive spells. However, such spells were usually for one-time use only. I wonder how much a mage who specializes in defensive magic will charge to imbue the pages of the spellbook."
..
"The existence of the Antu Empire proves that I have indeed come to a world with a game-like worldview.
"Psionic items are very powerful, but I can't have too many greedy thoughts. I should first do my old job well and study other things when I have the strength.
"Hmm, I'll set a small goal first. I'll expand the oak forest to about 1800 trees before summer comes!"
..
The tip of the quill dipped in mineral ink flew across the cheap papyrus.
Writing manuscripts was a small habit that Matthew had developed since he transmigrated. At first, he only recorded the difficulties of planting trees and some esoteric knowledge. Later, he would also use them to vent his longing for his hometown and record some thoughtful content.
Anyway, he used Chinese characters, and his handwriting was so illegible that only he could barely recognize it.
He saw this as a unique way to relieve stress.
During this period of time.
Matthew's brain was often alternating between extreme emptiness and high-speed operation.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The pleasant sound of writing rang out.
Matthew quickly wrote the last paragraph.
..
" As for what I said before I left, I hope it left an impression on Samantha. Maybe, she will be my first experimental subject to explore my unique path of legend. Perhaps Eli has potential too.
"However, I still have to be careful not to hurt them.
"Although these two Druids are old-fashioned, they are very kind and upright."
..
" Undying " and " Nature ".
This was the question that Matthew had been thinking about ever since he transmigrated.
He knew very well that these two seemingly different paths would be the source of his future power.
Based on the world's knowledge, the two paths were almost completely opposite. People did not even want to think about why they were opposite as if it was a natural law.
Matthew had once asked Master Ronan this question.
The latter pondered for a long time before giving Matthew an answer.
Ronan told him that all the concepts that were currently used on the continent could not be separated from the interpretation of the world by the gods of the Age of Enlightenment.
