Chapter 1225: Purifying Demonic Blood
Separation and purification: Spend no more than one magic point of the caster level to separate 1 cubic foot/caster level of non-living mixture into pure matter. For example, separating wine into water and alcohol.
…
Goofy only has 1 alchemist level, but taking into account the bonus provided by "Spellcasting Wizard", the actual spellcasting level is 13.
Spend 13 points of magic power to apply "separation and purification" to the demon blood in the fuel tank of the "Pioneer". After just a few seconds, most of the impurities are separated, leaving only the purified demon essence in the tank.
"Done!" Gao Fei patted the fuel tank.
"Wow! As expected of my eldest brother, he can do anything!!"
Pippi slapped a rainbow fart first, then changed the topic and pointed out a hidden danger.
"Brother! There are still 9 units of demon essence in the fuel tank, which is barely enough, but the magic crystal energy in the main engine has almost burned out. It can still drive for another seven to eight hundred miles at most. We have to try to get some magic crystals. To replenish energy for the main engine.”
"Can't you just burn the devil essence?" Gao Fei asked.
"Of course not." The little devil shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You cannot drink oil as water, and you cannot eat medicine as food."
"Where do you think I can get the magic crystal?" Gao Fei asked next.
"Well...I have two alternatives here."
Pippi raised two fingers, looking like a dog-headed military counselor.
"Go north from here and go around the docks of Pompeii. There is a place called Mephit Town. Fairs are held regularly. If you have enough disaster coins in your hand, it is not difficult to buy magic crystals in the town."
"How far is it from here to Mephit Town?"
"It's about 300 miles directly. If you include detours, the mileage will probably be doubled."
Pippi carefully observed Gao Fei's face, and then said: "If we don't want to take a detour, we have an alternative plan, which is to go directly to the Styx dock and actively attack Pompeii's warship parked on the Styx! That slave merchant He is so rich that he must have a lot of magic crystals in his hands!"
Gao Fei nodded, thoughtfully.
"Pippi, apart from the magic crystal, does Pompeii have any other good things in his hand, such as magic tools or spell scrolls?"
"There must be some. I don't know the specific situation, so I don't dare to say anything." The little devil showed just the right amount of caution, "Brother! If you choose the second course of action, I'm afraid you have to take some risks! That pervert in Pompeii, after all, is A time-honored and quasi-legendary powerhouse, there is also a group of demons who have undergone body modification as his accomplices, we may not be able to handle it just by ourselves!"
Gao Fei said nothing.
There is no data on the Giant Skull Demon in the astrolabe database.
However, he has rich experience in fighting the Obiris Demon and has personally killed many quasi-legendary monsters. He is still confident in dealing with enemies of Pompeii's level.
What's more, he was obsessed with Pompeii's "projection technique" and wanted to steal this technique to strengthen his long-range spellcasting ability.
It would be better if you could get the "Transportation" scroll from Pompeii!
"Pippi, you pilot the Pioneer and try to distract Pompei's accomplices. I will deal with Pompei himself. How about that?"
The little devil bared his teeth and scratched his head, and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Brother! I can give it a try, but before that, you should give me the 'Monster Charm Technique' first, or simply turn me into your magic pet!"
"Is this necessary?" Gao Fei looked at him deeply, "I believe you!"
"I'm sorry, brother, I can't trust myself." Pippi smiled bitterly, "You give me the chariot. At the critical moment, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my selfishness and greed, and I'll leave you to fight the devil alone. Driving away alone.”
"You'd better not do that." Gao Fei said coldly.
"Oh, of course I know that the consequences of betraying you are serious, but I can't help it..." Pippi said with pain on his face, "Brother! I am a devil after all! As the saying goes, dogs can't change their eating shit, you count on me to keep it from the bottom of my heart Promise, be loyal and courageous, go through fire and water, that is distorting my nature! It is too cruel! So, you should use magic to suppress my instinct!"
Gao Fei was amused by this guy's sincere yet shameless confession.
"I have never seen such a request as yours in my life."
Shaking his head helplessly, Gao Fei cast a "Monster Charm Technique" on the little devil to increase his loyalty to him...
By the way, isn't this the so-called self-PUA?
Okay, it’s rare for a devil to be confused in this world!
Helping Pippi complete her psychological construction, Gao Fei opened the astrolabe, burned 100,000 reserve experience points, and upgraded the "Magic Thief" from level 15 to 18 in one go.
After upgrading three levels in a row, there are also three newly acquired professional abilities.
…
Advanced Sleight of Hand: When launching a long-range attack, you can also spend a bonus or reaction action to perform a long-range "Sleight of Hand" check in conjunction with the long-range technique.
Desperate blow: When you successfully sneak attack a target, you can spend a reaction action to ignore the target's physical armor, natural armor and damage-reducing armor, and this attack will definitely cause a critical hit; this ability can be used 3 + Charisma modifier times per day.
Spell Thief: Maximum number of spells stolen and retained, plus double the proficiency modifier.
…
These three new abilities are very powerful.
"Advanced Stealing", combined with "Advanced Remote Technique", you can steal spells from the enemy while shooting or casting spells to attack the enemy!
"Deadly blow" is the ultimate special move for thieves!
Through a successful sneak attack, the target's armor can be penetrated, and a critical hit will definitely be triggered, causing explosive damage instantly!
The last ability, "Grand Master of Stealing Techniques", is why Gao Fei spends a huge amount of experience points to upgrade.
After acquiring the "Grand Master of Spell Stealing", Goofy can steal up to 12 spells from the target each time.
More importantly, the upper limit on the number of spells that are retained also counts as an additional double proficiency modifier, which is +12.
Goofy is now an 18th level spell thief, with double proficiency +12, and can retain up to 30 stolen spells.
Open the spell list and take a look. Not counting the "Mage's Hand" that comes with the profession, there are currently only 21 spells in total, leaving 9 spell-stealing vacancies to be filled!
Gao Fei suddenly felt rich.
Among the 9 spell-stealing slots, he has already reserved one of them, which is the 7-ring "Projection Technique" of the Giant-Skull Demon Pompeii.
As for the other vacancies, it depends on whether Pompeii has any other good stuff worth stealing.
After getting familiar with the newly acquired professional abilities, Gao Fei closed the astrolabe, switched his secondary profession back to "Imulator", applied "Transformation" to Pippi, disguised him as himself, and drove to Pompeii. Styx Quay under control.
Gao Fei himself cast an "Advanced Invisibility Spell" and directly teleported to the hillside near the Styx Pier, overlooking the towering ships moored in the harbor.
