Chapter 396 Soul-Transforming Talent!
Outside the palace.
Wan Jiaxi looked at the tall mermaid statue in front of him, and his eyes slowly moved down.
Soon he stopped at the base of the statue.
There were three lines of small characters engraved there -
[Mermaids are the auspicious sign of the Hatteras Imperial City and the foundation of the royal family's livelihood. ]
[In order to commemorate the contribution of mermaids, a celebration dance will be held on the Burial Beach every day after the sun sets. ]
[Nobles and merchants are invited to participate in the dance, day after day, without interruption. ]
Using the data panel to take a picture of the clues, Wan Jiaxi circled the statue.
After confirming that nothing was missed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems to be an insignificant clue, which only emphasizes the fourth rule."
"[The celebration ball will start after sunset and end before sunrise every day.]"
"But in fact, only a kind-hearted prince will allow 'commoners' to attend 'his ball'."
"If it is a 'celebration ball', it seems that only nobles and merchants will be invited."
"The clues have been collected almost, and it's time to go to the Goodman caravan before the sun sets."
Lu Li's handsome appearance in noble clothes appeared in his mind, and Wan Jiaxi felt a little excited inexplicably.
He is really worthy of being the strong man that his cousin wants to win over.
I had predicted that I needed to buy noble clothes last night and put them on in advance.
I wonder if he can catch up with the other party in the noble clothes.
While imagining, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure passing by.
"Huh? Is it Lu Li?"
Wan Jiaxi turned his head, but found that there was no one around.
Only the heavily armored guards kept patrolling.
Did I see it wrong?
Wan Jiaxi was stunned for a long time, then laughed at himself.
Could it be that he admired Lu Li too much and had hallucinations?
It was more important to go to the misty forest and buy noble clothes.
…
"It's here."
The dampness on his body, as if 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, passed through the city wall, and came to this point.
Although he retained the memory of his previous life and knew the perfect clearance strategy of "The Daughter of the Sea".
In theory, even if he didn't open the letter, he should be able to find this secret point.
But in fact, opening the letter is a prerequisite for passing through the city wall.
If Lu Li didn't open the letter,
then even if he found this secret point, he couldn't pass through the thick city wall.
In front of him was a rugged black reef, as sharp as a dog's tooth, with almost no place to land.
There was only a stone pillar standing on the sea not far away, with a platform on top to stand on.
The clue was there.
Lu Li did not hesitate and directly activated his talent.
When his soul points broke through the 500,000 mark, his [Soul Devouring] had a new function of "Soul Transformation Talent".
You can choose any talent ability at will, and it will show a more powerful effect depending on the level of your soul points.
Considering his own shortcomings in air combat and the slow flying speed.
Lu Li finally used the first opportunity of "Soul Transformation Talent" on [Floating].
Focus on stability and comprehensive development.
As Lu Li's feet left the ground, black mist quickly penetrated his body.
It seemed that there were tens of millions of dead souls, entangled and torn in it.
Then, under the invisible suppression of the soul, it quickly woven into a creeping black cloak.
[Floating (already soul transformed):
Ghostly Shadows-consume 10 soul points and release a bait ghost shadow. (The upper limit of the number of ghosts that can exist at the same time: 5)
Swift as the wind - consumes soul points and increases flight speed.
Spiritual 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 talent ability is still platinum, the strength is no less than diamond!
This is the power after "soul transformation".
But the distance is not far at the moment, so there is no need to consume soul points to increase the flight speed.
It took less than a breath for Lu Li to step on the black reef platform.
On the smooth mirror-like reef surface, there was a blood-stained dagger.
And, a line of text made of small shells-
[The truth is not as beautiful as the bubbles in the sun. 】
"That's it."
Lu Li called up the shooting function of the data panel and took a picture of the text clues.
Then he began to edit 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 visit 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 goods? It's just clothes, but they are all sold out?"
The shrill voice was a little helpless:
"There is no way, a generous guest bought all the noble clothing."
"You are late... How about looking at something else?"
"Can you tell me who bought all the noble clothing?" Wan Jiaxi asked.
If he could find that person, he might be able to buy a set at a price.
Unexpectedly, the shrill voice decisively refused:
"Sorry, this is the guest's privacy, I can't tell you."
"F*ck..." Wan Jiaxi opened his mouth and wanted to curse.
But then he thought,
A set of noble clothing costs 3 gold coins.
The caravan's inventory cannot be only a few sets.
Even if all the clothing can be discounted, it will still require a lot of gold coins.
And now,
the only player who can come up with so many gold coins is Amir who plundered everyone.
The only one left is Lu Li's team who completed the errand task and received the reward.
Both are nominally his "allies".
He should not stand by and watch.
It's nothing more than spending a little more.
The specific value should not exceed one secret realm entrance ticket plus one secret realm escape ticket.
After leaving the Goodman caravan's station, Wan Jiaxi quickly returned to the Burial Beach with a few passers-by teammates.
The cartoon-like sun was close to the sea level,
and night fell again.
It was almost the same as yesterday,
the servants were busy setting up a dance venue on the beach.
The only difference was that the center of the dance floor was no longer empty.
Instead, there was 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 after completion.
"Sure enough!"
Wan Jiaxi was excited that he guessed correctly, but he also began to get nervous.
Because he did not find Lu Li or Amir on the beach!
The two teams did not know where they went.
Many players were already waiting there,
and some of them were so carefree that they even took out beer and barbecue grills, eating and chatting, not nervous at all.
Absolutely relaxed!
It seemed that they were not here to clear the game, but to travel to a secret place.
"The ignorant are fearless..."
Wan Jiaxi sighed.
