Chapter 151: This Is Legendary
Perhaps because the Legendary Item grade is too high, Anse stared at the Card for a long time, but the Dice just spun randomly without detecting any useful information.
He reached out to take the Card, but Illyas grabbed the back of his hand and pressed it onto the table.
“What are you doing?” Illyas looked vigilant.
“Am I that reckless in your impression?” Anse smiled helplessly and pulled his hand back. “I just want to take a look.”
Illyas stood up and warned, “You can look, but don’t use it recklessly. No one knows what will happen. Also, remember to notify me when you use it.”
The vast majority of Spellcasters have only heard of the Wheel of Fortune Card and have no idea what Magical Effects it will produce, only knowing that the Risk is extremely high.
“I understand.” Anse didn’t explain too much. He knew the Risk involved and didn’t want to disappear without a trace.
“Do you want to have Breakfast with me?” Illyas asked casually.
“No.” Anse had no mind for eating.
Seeing this, Illyas let out an almost inaudible sigh, turned, and left, closing the Door behind her.
Anse didn’t even look up as he carefully picked up the Card.
The moment he touched the Card, the Dice trembled slightly, blurred for an instant, then spun rapidly before suddenly stopping.
Ding—
【The Wheel of Fortune Card, current Dice roll: Misfortune】
‘What does that mean?!’ Anse was startled, thinking he had accidentally triggered the Card.
He dropped the Card, the Dice Projection dissipated, and the notification disappeared from his mind as if it had never appeared.
“Misfortune, is there such a Card? Why does it require rolling Dice?”
He picked up the Card again, and the Dice spun rapidly.
Ding—
【The Wheel of Fortune Card, current Dice roll: Good Luck】
‘It changed!’
He held the Card in confusion. Previously, he had thought the Wheel of Fortune Card was like a scratch-off lottery, where you didn’t know if you’d win before scratching, but the Result was already determined regardless.
Now it seemed that the Magical Effect inside the Wheel of Fortune Card was not fixed but in a state of “Uncertainty” change.
‘Is it that magical…’
At this moment, the Dice leaped into the air on its own and rolled again upon landing.
【The Wheel of Fortune Card, current Dice roll: Uncertainty】
‘Can my Dice manipulate Probability? No, no…’
The Dice had never shown such ability before; its main ability was the Character Card, followed by Detection Ability and various records.
‘Pseudo-random!’
He suddenly thought of a possibility: the so-called “The Wheel of Fortune Card” was not completely random; there was at least a Pattern to follow, or the Influence of some extraordinary power.
Whichever it was, this vague “Omen” would be detected by the Dice, but it only triggered when he touched the Card.
The subsequent changes in the Dice matched his guess: the Wheel of Fortune Card was almost always changing, at irregular intervals, but only three possibilities:
Good Luck, Misfortune, and Uncertainty!
‘Useful, but not that useful.’ Anse inwardly fretted.
The Result was too vague; the Dice didn’t display the specific Magical Effect of the Card. Everything had to be guessed.
‘Should I pray to Timora now? I wonder if the goddess will be angry?’ He sighed wistfully.
Timora is the goddess of Good Luck, while Beshaba is the goddess of Misfortune; both belong to the domain of Trickery and have never lacked followers.
‘Actually, remembering it doesn’t help much.’ He comforted himself.
Reality is not a game; Magical Effects definitely have significant differences.
Anse held the Card, sensing the Dice Results flashing through his mind one by one, but he didn’t perceive any Pattern.
“Good Luck” meant no danger, so he simply stopped overthinking. When it rolled Good Luck, his heart stirred, and he activated the Wheel of Fortune Card directly with his mind.
The Card suddenly lit up, and an image of full Armor and a Shield appeared on its face—unworn, yet in a defensive Posture, giving an indestructible feeling.
【Wheel of Fortune Card: Shield】
A set of Magical Armor suitable for you to use, of Rare or higher Rarity, appears in your hand. If you have no Armor proficiency, your base Armor Class becomes 12 + your Dexterity Adjustment Value when not wearing Armor.
The Card quietly disintegrated, turning into a small mirror Teleport Gate ringed with blue light and surging electric arcs at the edges.
Anse immediately stepped back, his gaze falling on the mirror surface, where he vaguely saw a luxurious hall with a Shadow Figure sitting with their back to him, a Metal Kite Shield strapped to their back.
The next moment, the Kite Shield vanished into thin air, passed through the Teleport Gate, and landed in his arms.
He instinctively hugged the Shield, his gaze dazed, completely stunned.
The Teleport Gate collapsed into sparkling points and disappeared.
Before that, he saw the man furiously charging toward the Teleport Gate, his face full of rage, his momentum tangible and extremely terrifying.
Unfortunately, the Teleport Gate had already dissipated, dooming him to futility.
Moments later, Anse reacted, looking at the heavy greatshield with twitching eye corners, somewhat unable to comprehend:
‘No way… straight-up stealing… So you’re not producing Magical Items; you’re just a Magical Item delivery man!’
When he learned the effect of this Wheel of Fortune Card, he was actually a bit Disappointed, while pondering what form this Magical Item would take—but he never imagined it would be so simple and brutal.
‘The creator of this Card… is a bit outrageous. Somehow, I’ve gained another enemy.’ He sighed, carefully examining the Shield in his hand, hoping it wasn’t too bad.
This was a golden Kite Shield, also called a kite-shaped Shield, about one meter tall. The front bore an exquisite Medusa Relief with closed eyes, serpentine hair, even the forked tongues clearly visible.
‘Looks pretty good.’
The Dice spun for a while before finally detecting some information:
【Aegis of Euryale, Legendary】
‘This… is it real!’
Anse’s mouth curved up; he felt everything was worth it.
Both a single Card and a set of Wheel of Fortune Cards are Legendary Quality, but the Magical Effect of one Card couldn’t compare to a regular Legendary Item. Trading for a useful Rare item wouldn’t be a loss.
Anse’s was pure Luck explosion, though the Shield wasn’t a huge upgrade for him.
Conventional Appraisal methods couldn’t Appraise Legendary Items, but Attunement could still reveal a Magical Item’s properties, just not detect possible Curses on it.
But he judged the Shield to be generally safe, since its previous owner had just “lost” it.
To be safe, he Teleported back to the top of the Black Tower, unattuned the King Butterfly Cloak, held the Shield, and entered a Meditation state.
An hour passed, the original owner’s imprint completely vanished, and Anse fully mastered this Legendary Item.
【Magical Item: Aegis of Euryale】
「Type」: Armor
「Rarity」: Legendary（Requires Attunement）
This gleaming brass Shield is engraved with a Relief of the Legendary Medusa Druid Euryaeli.
While holding this Shield, you gain the following benefits:
「Blessing of Euryale」: You gain Resistance to Poison damage, and you are immune to the Petrification Status.
「Petrification Emblem」: You can activate the Shield at any time, filling the Shield’s front with Medusa’s Petrifying Magic; at this time, the Medusa Relief will open its eyes and emit bright light.
The Petrification light can target any visible Creature you choose within 30 feet（9 meters）; the Creature must make a Difficult（20） Constitution Saving Throw. On failure, its flesh hardens and it is Restrained.
Several seconds later, the Restrained Creature makes another Constitution Saving Throw; on failure, it is Petrified for 24 hours.
This effect can only be used once per day.
