''According to the holy scripture, the bursting strike of this stigmata can be controlled. And in addition to the swinging power of the arm, the damage can be reduced by dispersing part of the power of the stigmata. Then look at it this way, this is a good flying hammer used to capture prisoners ... Well, it's a good idea to try it out when you're done with it later.'
George continued to look down and checked the other descriptions of the stigmata.
[Elemental type description: You have discovered the elemental type of the first attribute. There is more information of this type in the library of the Kingdom of Heaven.]
George's eyebrows raised slightly and opened the section of the archive above the scroll, looking up the description of the elemental category.
Currently he could access six damage types: divine, darkness, fire, ice, poison, and electricity.
Among them, divine damage is ignoring armor; darkness damage will deepen wounds and reduce a variety of healing effects; fire has a continuous effect, ice will slow people's movements and even freeze them; poison will make people weak and continue to damage their lives, and electricity will paralyze them.
After observing these damage types, he found that above his attributes, he also had an additional [Resistance Ability].
In certain environments, nature will weaken/increase one's resistances. For example, if one is within the shelter, all resistances are +10. If one leaves the shelter and is in the mist, the darkness resistances will be -5.
I've only purified the shelter once before, and after that the people have been back and forth in the mist, but no one has ever gotten sick. Including some children who were a bit weak, have become healthier and healthier. It seems that this 10 points of elemental resistance is not as low as I thought...''
There is about the damage attribute this moment, George re-looked at his 'Punish in the name of the Holy' and found that its damage, in fact, is also divine damage. It was just that the level of the previous shelter scroll was not enough, so the relevant display was not made.
Looking at the 'Holy Hymn', 'Holy Name When Praised' and 'Stigmata', the three Lv1 level true hymns, George rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, and finally raised the 100 prayers, on top of the 'Stigmata'.
Obviously, although 'Discipline in the name of the holy' is more powerful, but if there are companions around, the 'Stigmata' is more profitable. In battle, 1 minute is enough to hit an enemy two or three times. And even if you are using a javelin and only hit once. Then six is six points of extra damage.
Although this may be a drop in the bucket for a powerful creature like a giant, it is better than nothing.
After considering it, George consumed 100 prayer points and boosted the power of the 'Stigmata'.
[Truthful Hymn 'Stigmata' Lv2:]
[1. Blessing characteristic: Through blessing, infuse divine power over surrounding partner weapons (within 20 meters, up to 12 people) to judge enemies (base damage + 2*mana divine damage (up to 2 points of mana infused) for 2 minutes or 6 attacks]
[2. Burst characteristic: As a medium body of blessing, the weapon in the chanter's hand will be specially blessed, making the weapon in your hand as if possessed by the Holy Spirit. You can not only use this stigmata power continuously, but also explode the power of the stigmata at once - base damage + 4*mana of divine damage (up to 2 mana points injected), +15% hit rate.]
The next boost is 1000 prayers.
'If I concentrate on boosting this hymn, it's possible to get it boosted again after some time. I wonder if the lv3 level of the hymn will produce other changes.''
George could already see that the victory that the squires had boasted about last night was becoming less and less illusory.
But the most crucial node still lies with Jack.
Everything still depends on the news brought back by the scouts, or the difficulty of the plan will increase several times...
Thinking of this, George secretly prayed for Jack, hoping that he would return safely at night.
With a sigh, George put the scroll away and walked towards another part of the castle.
There was nothing there to deal with the giants, but there was something there that would allow him to let go of his depression and soothe his mood.
The family's largest treasure, is there.
Thinking about that treasure, George shook his head somewhat speechlessly, quickened his pace, and after passing through several corridors, came to the semi-basement led by the servant.
After passing through the inner kitchen and storage room, George came to another stone staircase, and after continuing down, he pushed open the thick door and came to the wine cellar.
This wine cellar is far from the ground floor of the brewery that large, fifty or sixty fifty gallon oak barrels (a barrel of about 300 bottles), it has made it a little crowded. But the wines that are stored are all 4 1/2 years old and up.
The wines, not only are they vintage, but they are all highly distilled wines. Otherwise, even with Johannes' storage skills, they would sour after sitting for too many years.
Unlike the wines that are placed in the workshops, these wines are picked from the best fields in Johannes, often when they are ripe on the vine and become semi-dehydrated by sunlight.
The grapes are then rich in sugar, and those that are full and bright in color are selected and vinified and then specially fired.
At this point, the wine is so transparent in color and intense in flavor that it can even be set on fire. And then placed in oak barrels, after three and a half years of cellaring. The color is then like amber, crystalline and brilliant, and the taste is mellow and aromatic.
They are not yet considered golden wine, because it is not yet considered a specialty, only the Black Pearl Valley is most famous for this aged wine, so the price is generally two or three layers more expensive than other places.
The name of this kind of wine is more complicated on the mainland, which directly translates to "wine that burns". (It translates to 'brandy', which also means 'wine that burns'.
Of course, these are the top shelf brandies from Johannes.
In addition to these 50-gallon medium barrels, there are three or four small 25-gallon barrels.
Unlike those high spirits, they are undistilled and aged, and are also produced from exceptional fields. But the conditions for making the wine are extremely demanding - the grapes must grow mold in the fog of the pine forest, and when the mold penetrates the skin of the grapes, then the sun exposes the grapes to natural evaporation of water, and the grapes can only be picked in a semi-rotten, shriveled state.
And even because the time of rotten mold infection is not the same, so when picking, but also to determine the maturity of the picking grain by grain to do!
Therefore, it often takes eight vines to produce a bottle of this wine. And because the harvest is late, a certain amount of humidity is needed, so it is again best to be in a mountainous area with rivers and balanced fog and sunlight, otherwise it is difficult to fully rot and dry out. And if there is heavy rain, the humidity is too high and the grapes lose their sweetness, they will be ruined again!
After the wine is made, it is often stored in old oak barrels for up to ten years before it is considered mature.
At this point, the wine is as thick and dense as honey, with a golden liquid color. It is famous for its sweetness and aroma, full-bodied, rich and complex aroma, elegant and round taste, and more importantly, it has no hint of sweetness or acidity!
The entire Johannes, on average, is supplied to the outside every year, only this one barrel! And this one barrel, after being sent to the Viscount's domain, and then to the Earl's domain, will eventually be sent to the King's Palace.
They are the Black Pearl Special, the Golden Wine.
Unfortunately, there is only a small piece of Johannes' special good land, and there are not many that can qualify to make the golden wine. The ones that come out of the cellar every year are basically shipped to other territories to cover their debts. So the gold wine on the market, even brandy, the written output of the place, but also no Johannes these words.
Instead, it is 'Rose Manor' - the territory of the Countess.
In fact, not only most of the good wine, will eventually aggregate to the countess. And the vast majority of the exceptionally good land in the entire Black Pearl Valley also belongs to her. It's just that she likes red wines and spirits the most, and the recipe is no less than gold wines. So gold wine is rarely brewed, and the gold wine produced each year is about the same as the total number of all the lords of the Black Pearl Valley combined...
George touched those wine barrels one by one, unlike the last time he stopped by to check the grain, looking at these large and small barrels of wine, George's eyes no longer disgusted, instead, is the two eyes of those glittering gold coins.
'This medium barrel of brandy special brew 50 gallons, can be divided into 300 bottles. Even in normal times, according to the wholesale shipping price of the origin, a barrel is worth 300 silver foxes, enough to change a set of armor to! And now, I don't have to hide them secretly because of those debtors.' George pursed up his lips, his eyes burning.
His father had told him that the wine saved from his teeth was the hope for the family's future turnaround. Now, they were finally saved until they were really needed.
''As long as we survive the giant's disaster, these wines are the hope of the asylum to take off...'' George can imagine, through the trade of those resources, must be able to make the shelter in a period of time soaring. And at that time, he could even let the soldiers under him, everyone's equipment according to the standard of knights!
''As for those small barrels...'' George's gaze flickered one after another, and eventually withdrew his hand from those golden wines.
These small barrels he definitely will not sell easily afterwards, because odd goods - now where there is still sun? And who has the conditions to get a barrel of such wine with ten years of ten years? So sell a barrel, it will be less a barrel. For some people who are addicted to wine, it is not something that can be measured in gold and silver coins. So one has to bite the bullet and save them for a greater purpose.
The last two glittering glance at the wine, Grandy's heart desire finally satisfied. After that, he patted his ass and walked out of the room.
After returning to the main hall, looking at the sky, it is estimated that there are almost one or two hours is noon. George simply took a big step and went straight to the field outside.
In the past few days of harvesting, the fields around the shelter have basically been harvested, and as far as the eye can see, the mists are full of busy figures.
''Without the influence of monsters, these folk are very efficient and have already harvested more than two hundred acres of fields. On average, about a hundred acres a day, it seems that those old men and farm women are not much worse than the men.' George glanced at the scroll, the food in the territory was currently close to three thousand. Compared to the initial figure, it had increased by more than ten times! This was undoubtedly a very encouraging piece of news.
See the lord leisurely stroll to come, the people of the territory are very excited, many people have put down the work in hand, want to come to pray, confession - to this priest Lord seeking to seek psychological comfort.
Some headache to cope with a while, George found a reason, in a direction, deep into the mists.
