Chapter 396 Soul Talent!
Outside the palace.
Wan Jiaxi looked at the tall mermaid statue in front of him and slowly moved his gaze downwards.
It soon froze on the base of the statue.
There are three lines of small characters engraved there:
[Mermaids are auspicious signs for the Hatteras Imperial City and the foundation of the royal family's survival. ]
[In order to commemorate the mermaid's contribution, a celebration dance will be held at the Bone Burial Beach every day after the sun sets. ]
[Nobles and merchants were invited to participate in the dance, day after day, without interruption. ]
Using the data panel to capture the clues, Wan Jiaxi walked around the statue.
After confirming that nothing was missed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems to be an insignificant clue, which only indirectly emphasizes the fourth rule."
"[The celebration dance will begin after the sun sets and end before the sun rises every day.]"
"But in reality, only a prince with a kind heart would allow 'commoners' to attend 'his ball'."
"If it's a 'celebration ball', it seems that only nobles and merchants will be invited."
"We have collected almost all the clues. We should go to the Goodman Caravan before the sun sets."
The image of Lu Li's handsome appearance in aristocratic attire emerged in Wan Jiaxi's mind, and he inexplicably felt a little excited.
He is truly the strong man that my cousin wants to win over.
I had predicted last night that I would need to buy aristocratic clothing and put it on in advance.
I wonder if he can be half as handsome as the other after putting on aristocratic clothes.
While I was fantasizing, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure passing by out of the corner of my eye.
"Hmm? Is it Boss Lu Li?"
Wan Jiaxi turned around, but found no one around.
Only the heavily-armored guards were patrolling.
I read it wrong?
Wan Jiaxi was stunned for a long time and then laughed at himself.
Could it be that I admired Boss Lu Li too much and was having hallucinations?
It is more important to go to the Misty Forest and buy noble clothing.
……
"This is the right place."
The damp feeling on his body as if he was soaked in sea water quickly receded. Lu Li raised his eyes and took a deep breath of the salty air.
just now,
He followed the instructions on the map, crossed the city wall and came to this location.
Although he retained the memories of his previous life and knew the perfect strategy to pass "The Daughter of the Sea".
Logically speaking, even without opening the letter, you should be able to find this hidden spot.
But in fact, opening the letter is a prerequisite for passing through the city wall.
If Lu Li hadn't opened the letter,
Then even if he found this secret spot, he would not be able to pass through the thick city wall.
Before my eyes were rugged black rocks, sharp as dog teeth, with almost no place to stand.
There was only a stone pillar standing on the sea not far away, with a platform on top for standing.
The clue is there.
Lu Li did not hesitate and directly activated his innate ability.
When his soul points broke through the 50 mark, his [Soul Devourer] gained a new function, the 'Soul Transformation Talent'.
You can choose any talent ability at will, and the effect will be more powerful depending on the level of your own soul points.
This is because of its own shortcomings in air combat and its slow flying speed.
Lu Li finally used his first chance of "Soul Transformation Talent" on [Floating].
The main focus is on stability and comprehensive development.
As Lu Li's feet left the ground, black mist quickly penetrated his body.
It seemed as if there were tens of millions of dead souls entangled and torn apart among them.
Then, under the invisible suppression of the spirit and soul, it was quickly woven into a wriggling black cloak.
【Floating (already soulified):
Ghostly Shadows - Consume 10 soul points to release a decoy ghost. (The maximum number of ghosts that can exist at the same time: 5)
Swift as the wind - consumes soul points to increase flight speed.
Spirit Cloak——Completely blocks an attack and consumes the corresponding soul points. (When the soul points are insufficient, the block will be invalid immediately)]
Although the grade of the innate ability is still platinum, its strength is no less than diamond!
This is the power of "soul transformation".
However, the distance is not far at the moment, so there is no need to consume soul points to increase the flying speed.
In less than a breath, Lu Li's feet stepped on the black reef platform.
A blood-stained dagger was thrown on the mirror-smooth surface of the reef.
And a line of words made of small shells:
[The truth is not as beautiful as bubbles in the sun. ]
"This is it."
Lu Li called up the shooting function of the data panel and took a picture of the text clue.
Then he started editing the text and simply marked the precautions and trap locations of this place.
After doing all this, he picked up the dagger.
He took out a set of noble clothing and placed it on the ground along with his visiting token.
……
"What? The noble clothing is sold out!?"
Wan Jiaxi looked as if he had seen a ghost:
"Didn't they say that the Goodman Caravan had all kinds of merchandise? It's just clothes, but they're all sold out?"
The shrill voice sounded a little helpless:
"It can't be helped. A generous guest has bought all the noble clothing."
"You're late... How about seeing something else?"
"Then can you tell me who bought all the noble clothing?" Wan Jiaxi asked.
If I can find that person, maybe I can spend some money to buy one.
Unexpectedly, the shrill voice decisively rejected:
"Sorry, this is the guest's privacy and cannot be disclosed."
"I tm..." Wan Jiaxi opened his mouth to curse.
But on second thought,
A set of noble clothing costs 3 gold coins.
The caravan's inventory couldn't possibly be limited to just a few sets.
Even if you buy all the clothes at a discount, it will still cost a lot of gold coins.
And now,
The only player who could come up with so many gold coins was Amir who looted everyone.
The only one left was Lu Li's team, who had completed the errands and received their rewards.
Both are nominally his 'allies'.
There should be no risk of death.
It just costs a little more.
The specific value should not exceed a secret realm admission ticket plus a secret realm escape ticket.
After leaving the Goodman caravan’s base, Wan Jiaxi quickly returned to the Bone Burial Beach with a few passing teammates.
The cartoon-like sun is close to the sea level.
Night falls again.
Almost the same as yesterday.
The servants were busy setting up a dance venue on the beach.
The only difference is that the center of the dance floor is no longer empty.
Instead, there is a statue made of sand.
Although only a fish tail has been formed so far, it is not difficult to guess that it should be a mermaid statue when completed.
"Sure enough!"
Wan Jiaxi was excited that he guessed it right, but he also started to get nervous.
Because he didn't find Lu Li or Amir on the beach!
No one knew where the two teams went.
There are many players already waiting there.
Those who were carefree even took out beer and barbecue grills, and ate and chatted without being nervous at all.
Absolute relaxation!
It seems like they are not here to pass the customs, but rather to travel to a secret place.
"Ignorance is fearless..."
Wan Jiaxi sighed.
