Ark pigeon mode, activated!

You quickly check these unfortunate people and find an unusually heavy metal box with an extremely strong lock on it. You can't find the key.

[Options: 1. They no longer have any use for this box (obtain a heavy metal box containing the collection)! 2. May they rest in peace (obtain 2 target lives)]

There is a hidden plot route, just try it out.

Option 1.

You look at the fallen man, then at the metal box in your hand. You have a bad feeling.

[Obtained collection, heavy metal box]

[Heavy Iron Box: Deployment cost of all allied units +2]

Negative effects that are neither painful nor itchy.

Camilla didn't care much.

[Entering the Node——Sly Merchant]

[The snake is outside, I'm blocked...]

[Designated six-star sniper operator talent] - 13 Hope.

[Designated six-star support operator talent] - 13 Hope.

[Designated Five-Star Special Operator Talent] - 7 Hopes.

[Random five-star operator talent]——7 Hope.

[Designated four-star vanguard operator talent] - 5 Hope.

[Laughing Joker]——8 Originium Ingots.

[Legion Heart Guard]——12 Originium Ingots.

[Banshee's Kiss]——16 Originium Ingots.

……

"snake?"

Camilla couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The last time he heard this word was when the mysterious statue said it, the snake that gnawed the world tree!

Could it be that... a blood relative collided with that snake! ?

Are you so unlucky?

Also, what exactly does "outside" mean?!

Camilla thought about it for a moment and then ignored it.

There's no way to save him, so just wish him the best!

Turning her attention back to the store itself, Camilla bought [Banshee's Kiss] without saying a word!

[Banshee's Kiss: Hope +8]

So cool!

This way he would have 18 hopes, enough to buy a six-star talent!

Today's collection includes [Gallic Robe]. The cost of buying talents is increased by 1. He only needs to take one six-star talent and not buy the rest, otherwise it would be a big loss.

After careful consideration, Camilla decided to use the talent of the six-star sniper operator W, [Ambush]!

[Ambush: After staying on the battlefield for 10 seconds, you gain 60% physical and spell dodge and are less likely to become the enemy's target.]

Undoubtedly, this is a very practical talent!

The reason why Camilla took it was because dodge was related to perception. He wanted to open up his clairvoyance to see the other side of the world, so maybe improving his dodge would be enough.

Moreover, he felt that dodging might help him break free from the illusion.

If his dodge is fully stacked and something goes wrong in the illusion, he might be able to dodge it all!

The premise is... talent can also work in illusions.

He wasn't sure about this because each abnormality was different.

Camilla originally had 43% physical dodge from the [Kung Fu] talent and 50% spell dodge from the [Small Man's Luck] talent. Taking [Ambush] into account, according to the formula of dodge success rate = 1-(1-A)×(1-B)×(1-n), it is 77.2% physical dodge and 80% spell dodge.

It’s already a very high number. If you can’t dodge it, you’re just unlucky!

Camilla felt that...she was still quite lucky.

……

Chapter 209: Blade Master Tower is Fearless

She didn't plan to continue taking talents. As for the remaining two collections, [Laughing Joker] was a talent upgrade, which she didn't need for the time being, and [Legion Heart Guard] increased defense, which was meaningless. So, Camilla left the store directly.

[Enter the node——dangerous road and dangerous enemies! ]

[While you were trying to control the legendary secret realm, a burly man walked into this secret realm without any concealment!

The president of the Resurrection Society, Caeneus, appears before you in his true form this time!

The oppression brought by the huge gap in life status almost suffocates you!

"Having entered the Ladder of Ascension but failing to grasp its meaning, you are no different from those mediocre people! Let's stop here!"

He said this calmly, and attacked you without hesitation! 】

[Enter the boss level, the Enlightened One]

[When the battle begins, you immediately mobilize the demonic weapon, fully deploy it, hide in the sealed space attached to it, and do your utmost to escape from the Golden Sea!

The terrifying attack will wantonly ravage the huge demonic armed forces as big as a mountain. Although it cannot destroy the main body of the demonic armed forces in a short time, its power will penetrate in and you will be quickly severely injured!

When you were on the verge of death, you successfully escaped from the Golden Sea and returned to reality.

Caeneus no longer pursues him.]

【Battle ended, passed successfully】

[Battle Results: Combat Experience +17, Originium Ingots +8, Obtained the Black Key]

[Combat level increased, hope +4]

[Dark Key: All allied units' attack, defense, and health +3%]

After getting the [Heavy Iron Box], the [Dark Key] will appear when you defeat the dangerous boss. This is a collection that must be obtained in the hidden plot.

There are other collection options in the game, so I just give them to him here.

Thinking of this guy Caeneus, Camilla also had a headache.

A mysterious being has set his sights on him and wants to kill him. This is too difficult to solve!

But fortunately, the demonic weapon was worthy of being the Stuart family's heirloom. It had strong defensive capabilities and could withstand Caeneus's attacks for a short period of time, preventing him from being killed immediately and giving him the possibility of escape.

Caeneus would not attack him in reality, otherwise he would be beaten by the paladin.

Since he knew that Caeneus would attack him, he would just avoid him and not look for any legendary secret realm tomorrow.

What Camilla cares about more is what Caeneus said about the ladder of ascension.

He had been forced to enter the sublimation ladder before, and then he slipped away in embarrassment, not daring to stay in that place for any longer.

But according to Caeneus, something can be learned there...

Could it be... the other side of the world!?

Camilla thought about it seriously.

Caeneus had murderous intentions towards him, most likely because he sensed something in him that ordinary people could not see. So we can boldly speculate that Caeneus had a special vision that could see the other side of the world!

And that kind of spiritual vision is obtained in the sublimation ladder!

Camilla can now use the demonic weapons to enter the sublimation ladder. A short stay there should have met the requirements for obtaining clairvoyance!

However, considering this, Camilla became a little hesitant about whether to obtain clairvoyance.

The Great Knight of Blood Flame once said that Caeneus's mind was not normal.

The strong ones have abnormal brains, that is, they see the world differently from ordinary people, and their thinking is also different from ordinary people. Most of the time, it is difficult for others to understand. But even a high-ranking being like the Blood Flame Knight said that Caeneus has a problem with his brain, so there is a high probability that there is really a problem!

Maybe... it has something to do with this kind of clairvoyance!

Do you really want to get it?

After careful consideration, Camilla decided to obtain clairvoyance.

Lacking a certain ability, he might be completely unable to fight against Caeneus. This shortcoming must be made up!

As for the possible negative impact, what is he afraid of!

His condition is bad enough, he has too many lice and no itching!

After thinking about it, Camilla continued to investigate in depth.

[Enter Node——Combat]

[You accept the actual combat training arrangement of the Knight Academy and go with other knights to destroy a stronghold of the Wanlingyi Society!

The main powerful enemies have their own arrangements, you only need to clean up the miscellaneous soldiers! 】

[When the battle begins, you use the field to instantly capture all enemies and kill them all in one go!]

【Battle ended, successfully passed, perfect tactics】

[Battle Results: Combat Experience +13, Originium Ingot +7]

This is a follow-up to the last attack by the Wanlingyi Society, and the Knight Academy still attaches great importance to this matter.

To wipe out a stronghold, I specially brought him along, which was also a way to give him an explanation.

Camilla couldn't help but nodded.

[Entering the Node——Unexpected Encounter]

A... duck?: In front of you... you see the Thorn Birds mocking you maliciously. This time, behind him stands a burly lion-man. Your vision begins to be obscured by feathers, and you are unable to move. You hear the sound of water breaking, and you are like prey caught in a hunter's trap, sweating profusely... Then, the unpleasant laughter drags you back to reality. The Thorn Birds gestures at you, and the burly lion-man rushes towards you!

[Options: 1. Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're someone else! (Encounter a special battle)! 2. Forget it, just buy him a soda.]

Nothing much to say, choose 1!

The silly Thorn Birds has brought him treasures again!

[The battle begins, the lion man roars and pounces towards you with unstoppable momentum!

You battled it with incredible speed, and most of your attacks were blocked by it with exquisite skill. However, as this continued, injuries, both large and small, accumulated, and it soon collapsed!]

【Battle ended, successfully passed, perfect tactics】

[Battle Results: Combat Experience +3, Originium Ingot +1, Obtained Collection Assault Agreement - Blade]

[Assault Protocol - Blade: For each Vanguard and Guard Operator in the battle formation, all Vanguard and Guard Operators gain +8% Attack Power.]

This is a good collection, but unfortunately he is the only one in the Blade Master Tower.

[Entering the Node——Unexpected Encounter]

[Disaster is approaching: You insert the black key into the lock of a metal box, and the huge iron lock opens with a click. However, the contents of the box make you shudder. You see a severed hand tightly grasping a hollow, carved rapier. The flesh of the severed hand is fresh and lifelike, and the rapier is broken in the middle. No matter what you do, you cannot remove the severed hand from the weapon. It seems that you have accidentally glimpsed some terrible secret!]

[Options: 1. Carefully preserve this item (obtain the "Hand Cannon" item)! 2. I shouldn't have gotten involved!]

All nodes have been encountered, choose 1!

[You have heard that even among those immortal beings, there is no peace and tranquility. Sin and desire are growing and spreading, and pure violence will accompany you everywhere!

This time, you took the initiative to intervene! 】

[Obtained the collection, "Hand Cannon"]

["Hand Cannon": Reduce the deployment cost of all allied units by 3, increase attack power, defense power, and health by 5%, and allow the expedition to have a different ending.]
