Mercenary Wars

Chapter 61 Corpse Explosion
Gao Jianuo found that the panel's "identification" of the holy name followed a simple principle.

The attribute upper limit gain is halved and added to the attribute gain. If there is a blessing, it is doubled. Fate is not taken into account. The final value is reflected in the radius of the light ball.

With reference to this principle, Gao Jianuo took the "final value" as the value of the holy name and further divided it into three levels.

The worst grade, which he called "trash holy names," was worth no more than 15 points; then came "normal holy names," worth between 15 and 30 points. Most holy names fell into these two categories, demonstrating the stinginess of the gods.

Then there are the "Rare Holy Names", which are worth between 30 and 45 points.

As for the value exceeding 45 points, Gao Jianuo has never seen it.

This is of course just a rough division, which takes neither fate nor the effects of blessing into account, but it still has great reference value.

Because during the first two upgrades, Gao Jianuo looked through almost all the holy names. The "trash holy names" were real trash, the "normal holy names" occasionally had some highlights, and only the "rare holy names" were worthy of serious consideration.

As this set of classification criteria took shape in Gao Jianuo's cognition, the holy names that looked like stars in the sky were automatically divided into three parts, and the "rare holy names" were placed in the most conspicuous area.

As he examined these "rare holy names," two of them quickly caught his attention.

[Holy Name: Jezaros]

[Belongs to: Gods]

[Bonus: All attribute limits +8, physical limit +1, mental limit +1]

[Blessing·Rebirth at Dawn: You have one chance to be reborn. When you die, you will be reborn at dawn the next day. The price of rebirth is to lose all holy names except "Jesaros"]

……

[Holy Name: Laerinus]

[Belongs to: Gods]

[Bonus: All attribute caps +6, lowest attribute +4, second lowest attribute +2, third lowest attribute +1]

[Blessing·Fair Curse: Counteracts all curses and malicious marks. If counterattack is impossible or fails, the curse and mark on you will be lifted.]

……

Rebirth at dawn can give you an extra life!

It goes without saying that life is precious, but the price is indeed high.

Lost all holy names except "Jesaros".

The attribute cap provided by "Jesaros" is very high, which means that the attribute loss after rebirth is relatively small, but the blessings will definitely be gone.

Other blessings would be fine, but Gao Jianuo was somewhat reluctant to give up the panel ability blessed by the first section of the holy name "Edakondejanus".

Also…why did the name "Jesaros" feel strangely familiar? It felt familiar, yet completely new. He couldn't figure out the reason for this feeling, so he stopped thinking about it and turned his attention to the blessing of another holy name.

Fair Curse - Seeing this blessing, Gao Jianuo immediately thought of the battle with the gray-haired archer seven days ago.

If he had been blessed with the "Fairness Curse" at that time, so that the opponent could also be marked with his own hunter's mark, he could have hidden behind the parapet, shot an arrow into the sky, and then relied on Swift Breeze and the Hunter's Mark to guide the arrow over and easily achieve a counterattack.

Various curses can also be countered.

In fact, the hunter's mark can be regarded as a curse - it's just that the hunter refuses to admit it. Their common feature is that they cannot be dodged.

You can dodge close combat, arrows, and even magic... but curses and marks can only be resisted or made immune. I've never heard of anyone being able to dodge them.

Overall, this blessing is still very powerful. The only problem is that, limited by his current knowledge and experience, Gao Jianuo is not sure whether the curse and mark are common.

After all, he had only seen the Hunter's Mark twice so far.

In terms of value, [Jesaros] and [Laerinis] both exceed 40 points, making them rare among the rare.

But to avoid missing anything, Gao Jianuo decided to look at the other holy names, including the "common holy names." As for the "trash holy names," he didn't bother to look at them. He continued to examine the holy names and blessings, and casually said to his teammates, "Bister, have you ever been to the east of the Kiso Mountains?"

"I haven't been there. Across the Kisos Mountains is the East Continent. That place is only slightly more real than the legend. The bards always say that there is 'gold and elven maids everywhere', but I don't quite believe it!" Bist talked incessantly, suddenly frowned, and turned to look behind him.

"What's wrong?" everyone asked in surprise.

Bister didn't say anything, but put his hand on the rock wall. After a moment, he said, "It seems...it seems that another shark lizard beast is coming."

Everyone was surprised.

After a while, they also felt a slight vibration in the ground.

Everyone immediately dispersed and prepared to fight.

A hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the strong medicine expert, but he still threw out two small bottles.

Everything is prepared according to the previous battle. Now we just have to wait for the shark lizard beast to fall into the trap.

The Orange Merchant held up the Holy Light Spell, which was better than the Light Spell. It did not hurt the human eyes and could slightly suppress the vision of dark creatures.

He took two steps closer to observe and said, "This shark lizard beast seems to be digging a little slowly. Could it be a juvenile?"

"Then we will make a lot of money. The young shark lizard is much more valuable than the adult one!" Bist drank the wine in the glass and said in high spirits.

The drastic medicine expert hesitated several times before finally saying, "I think we should be more cautious. I don't think this sounds like a shark lizard..."

Gao Jianuo followed her advice and became more cautious. After a brief thought, he took out a few inferior wind orbs from the storage ring and held them in his hand.

"What else could it be? It can't be a human!" Bist didn't care.

Life is unpredictable. Just a few seconds after he finished saying this, a gap appeared in the wall in front of him, revealing several figures.

Bister was stunned.

The other party was also stunned.

"Whoosh——" One tenth of a second later, a short spear came whizzing over, and the Orange Merchant, who was wearing a priest's robe and holding holy light in his hand, was pierced through the head and died instantly!

Before the holy light illumination went out, Gao Jiano noticed that the person who threw the short spear was Keith, the leader of the Wolf Hunting Mercenary Group's Night Raiders!

This guy attacked the pastor last time, and he attacked the pastor again this time!

No matter what, the fact that he could fight Cassandra to a draw probably showed that he was a level six warrior. Adding on his companions, he was definitely not someone that the black market team could deal with.

Therefore, Gao Jianuo made a prompt decision and threw several inferior wind balls into the gap.

The people on the opposite side were briefly repelled by the storm.

Of course, Gao Jianuo estimated that this "short" period would not even last two seconds.

So he immediately took out the "Corpse Explosion" spell scroll and tore it at the orange merchant's body, shouting, "Run!"

The five of them turned around and ran away.

A second later, Keith returned to the gap and was about to throw the spear again, but suddenly his eyes focused on the body of the orange merchant half a meter away.

He noticed that the body of the fat priest was shaking strangely and emitting a faint flame-like light, which was particularly conspicuous in this dark underground world.

"Not good!" Keith reacted and quickly retreated backward, with scales appearing all over his body.

"boom--"
