Amber Sword

It was said that Nemesia had a dark touch, naturally due to her previous battle results. In Vorn World, while the phenomenon of magic decay exists, magic items are tightly linked to the power of their owner, and when the previous owner dies for some reason, most magic items will lose their magic power, even directly disintegrating into fragments.

However, this decay is not completely random. Some specially treated equipment—such as the Wind Queen’s Ring—do not undergo magic decay. As for ordinary equipment, losing about two-thirds is a more normal value. Entities who achieved Elemental Enlightenment are undoubtedly top figures in Vorn during this era, meaning their magic equipment would not be ordinary goods. Yet under Nemesia’s inspection, it could only leave a standard longsword.

Luck is something ephemeral at times, yet sometimes hard to deny its existence. At least, before Nemesia removed this bracelet from William’s corpse, Brand was sure of it.

"Can I take a look?" He asked Miss Knight after a moment’s pause.

Nemesia handed the bracelet to him without a second thought. Brand, in fact, didn’t need to look to know what its attributes were, but even so, out of a player’s instinct accumulated over the years, he couldn’t wait to open that window—

A light green, translucent screen only he could see appeared, with a few lines of text in Elf Language. Because this piece of equipment was inherently more related to Wild Elves:

Flowing Firefly (Bracelet Type)

Silver Rank, Antique Magic Item (Equipment Requirement: 225 Oz)

Strength +27, Constitution +22, Perception +6

Special Effect: Increases experience gain by 5%

Special Effect: Dark Perception +3

Sure enough, it was exactly the same. Brand held this bracelet, completely at ease. Although it was just an Ancient level equipment, the name Flowing Firefly was absolutely famous in the game—firstly, because its owner, Williams, was no ordinary person, and secondly, because the attributes of this bracelet were extremely powerful: Strength +27, Constitution +22, Perception +6. Even a warrior at the Golden Peak had only about 500 energy levels in their main attributes, while his current Boundary had reached Elemental Manifestation, his attributes actually still lingered in the upper tier of gold, and his main attributes had not exceeded 300.

Simply put, an ordinary equipment slot providing over ten percent increase in attributes was already a substantial boost. But the strength of Flowing Firefly was far from just that. Besides attributes, the increase in experience and Dark Perception were the most crucial parts of this ancient bracelet.

The experience increase, needless to say, was a very rare attribute, while Dark Perception was even more critical in the game. The most important function of Dark Perception was that it allowed people to sense the flow of dark magic power, and in Vorn World, due to the twelve Magic Moons reflecting the Sea of Magic in the sky, the entire continent, including the Land of Blessing, was constantly infiltrated by dark magic power.

With Dark Perception, threats could be foreseen. For Brand, one of its simplest uses was that it could sense the movements of monsters. This attribute might seem unimportant now, but in the future when the Magic Tide approaches, it was a very practical attribute. Because under the Great Demon Tide, not only would there be an increase in monsters, but also an increase in dark treasures. To rapidly enhance strength and stay ahead of others in that era, one must possess a sufficiently high Dark Perception attribute.

This became a later consensus in the game. However, in reality, except for certain special existences like witches or blind prophets, the Dark Perception attributes of ordinary people mostly remained zero. Thus, equipment with Dark Perception bonuses was crucially important.

Even if he had not obtained this bracelet today, Brand would have gone to collect similar equipment to prepare for the future. Erune must survive the future, and its enemies were not only those northern nobles.

But unexpectedly, Nemesia gave him a pleasant surprise.

"Do you recognize this bracelet?" Nemesia looked at him and keenly asked.

"I’ve heard some rumors about it," Brand replied. In his memory, it was rumored that the bracelet was made for the Eye of Oversight Council by the Sky and Dragon of Knowledge Crystal. However, in the game, this Eye of Oversight Council had long vanished with the destruction of the final fortress ’Babel’, so no one knew why the crystal made such a bracelet for the Observer Council in the first place.
