Ark pigeon mode, activated!

He would not go to the cathedral, where the bishop would be by now.

A spiritual monk who is equivalent to a formal knight is not easy to deal with, especially when he is in his prime and in peak condition. Once you confront him, you will probably be in trouble.

Judging from the state of the church here, it is also a good choice to speculate on the actions of the Three Gods Church.

There was a small disturbance inside the church. The monks were talking among themselves, sighing, or indignant. It didn't seem like any orders were coming from the cathedral. They probably just received the news of Brother Verosta's death.

After observing for a moment, Camilla calmly walked away and came to an open space on the street not far away.

A thin man wearing a gray hat was sitting by the wall, humming softly, adjusting the strings of the six-string guitar in his hand, and slowly tuning it.

"Good afternoon, sir. I'm interested in music. What kind of music are you good at? Could you play a piece for me?"

Camilla asked softly.

The thin man pushed his hat up and laughed cheerfully.

"Of course!"

Chapter 49: Blade Master Tower raises questions~

The wandering musician quickly adjusted the pitch, then plucked the strings and began to play, singing in a low and warm voice.

"It was not love that killed the sun, but jealousy. It was not jealousy that killed the sun, but desire..."

Ancient poems echo in this era, narrating secrets that seem like myths.

Camilla listened quietly.

Gradually, he raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the sun, facing the scorching light.

He realized that the gaze watching him came from heaven.

From...among the stars obscured by the sun's brilliance!

In this era, is there anyone who can master the power of the stars?!

There are many forces in the city of Sharta, and there are several who are suspected of controlling this kind of power, but he believes that he has never had any conflicts, and he is afraid that this is one of the troubles accumulated by the Stuart family.

After staying with the wandering musician for a while and confirming that there were no major changes in the Church of the Three Gods, Camilla left.

He had no immediate plans to find the source of the spying.

Taking the initiative to look for them is to pick out the contradictions. When there is no intelligence about the other party, it is easy to suffer a great loss. He has to wait for an in-depth investigation tonight.

The other party did not dare to attack him in broad daylight.

When he returned home, the eyes that were watching him disappeared.

To be more precise, he disappeared the moment he stepped into the courtyard of the mansion.

Camilla was not surprised by this.

As his strength grew, he became more and more aware of the abnormalities in this mansion, the mysterious girl imprisoned underground, the area merged with the spirit world... He didn't know how many things were hidden there.

The blood power of the Stuart family is a seal, and this thing is so troublesome!

Except for those like Gayala who want to die together, other forces or individuals who want to come in really need to think carefully.

Camilla went to check on Liz first.

He had informed Isfir to send the prepared luggage to the foundry. Liz... probably counted as one of the luggage, but she had to be carried with her.

So now, Vivian is helping Liz take a bath, at least to wash off the blood on her body.

After checking in the bathroom and finding everything normal, Camilla left them alone and went to the training ground to practice.

We plan to go to the Knights' Academy and bring Isfiel, Vivian, and Liz with us, while Leah will stay at home to look after the house. They don't need to prepare much, just bring their identity badges and some clothes.

In terms of cultivation, his spiritual accumulation has been steadily improving, and he has slowly mastered some simple and practical tricks. He will only wait until he reaches the Knights' Academy in the Sudetenland, where the environment will be relatively stable, before attempting to enter the spiritual world.

The day passed in a flash, the night deepened, and after dinner, Camilla continued to practice.

Until the countdown for in-depth investigation within the field of vision ends.

He took a look, took a deep breath, and then—

In-depth investigation, start!

[In-depth Investigation: A Confused New World!]

[Additional Collection: Scarlet Theatre Ticket Stub, Four-Leaf Clover Fossil]

[Team Confirmation - Command Team]

[Doctor, humans use colored glass and stone to try to reach the height of the stars.

The stars are brilliant, but brilliance does not mean kindness.

The star master of the Daiguan Secret Society suspects that you have stolen the light of the stars, which is absolutely unacceptable!

They are the ones who are bathed in true starlight! Only they can become shining stars!

They will do this at any cost! 】

"Uh... you're crazy! Did you shoot the stars there?"

Camilla was speechless.

However, despite his complaints, the strange attitude of the Crowned Secret Society immediately reminded him of the unusual confidentiality system of the Grand Knights and Paladins, as well as what Goodney had mentioned - power!

There is a high probability that there is some mysterious connection between them.

It’s too early to study these things now. Let’s wait until he is strong enough.

[Scarlet Troupe Ticket Stub: 25% chance of dropping an additional recruitment ticket after the battle]

[Four-Leaf Clover Fossil: Add an option when a collectible item drops after a battle]

The former is useful in the game, but useless here, while the latter... is equally powerful in in-depth investigations!

If nothing else, it can at least increase his efficiency in accumulating hope and Originium Ingots!

In addition, when commanding a squad, you will gain 4 temporary target health points in each battle, which is also a very practical effect.

At present, Camilla has not figured out the relationship between the target's health value and his own health value, but it doesn't matter. The former will only appear after in-depth investigation.

[Enter Node——Combat]

On the aircraft heading to Sudetenland, a member of the Crowned Secret Society, who's infiltrating the Foundry, challenges you to a duel. You see he's up to no good, so let him experience the cruelty of the world!

The battle begins. The combat area on the aircraft is small, but this doesn't affect your performance at all. You easily break the opponent's tricks and defeat them.

【Battle ended, successfully passed, perfect tactics】

[Battle settlement, combat experience +10, Originium ingot +5]

[Combat level increased, hope +4]

I hope it’s level 12 again so I can get another six-star talent!

[Entering the Node——Unexpected Encounter]

Someone with a story: You meet a stranger on the aircraft. They look at the direction the aircraft is heading, confused and melancholy. You chat with them and learn some information: they are heading to Kaporeba for the future of their hometown, but the road ahead is difficult and they see little hope.

【Comfort Them Well (Advanced Any Talent)】

"Ah this..."

Camilla immediately understood that the collections of advanced operators like [Laughing Joker] were not useless, but he did not have the talents suitable for advancement.

Operators' talents are divided into Elite 0, Elite 1 and Elite 2 states, and some talents will only appear at Elite 1 or Elite 2.

If an operator has the talent but has not practiced it, the talent he obtains will be at the zero level, and he can improve it in this way!

But now, he has no talents that need to be improved!

He clicked on it, and as expected, there was no talent advancement, so he had to move on to the next node.

[Entering the Node——Unexpected Encounter]

[Setting Up Camp: You've found a quiet and safe corner on the aircraft, away from all danger, allowing you to fully rest and recuperate. Your mind slowly relaxes.]

[Fall into a Dream (Gain 3 target health points)]

A very ordinary node.

[When you open your eyes, the tension and fatigue have long left your body, and you continue to explore the unknown road ahead]

[Entering the Node——Emergency Operation]

The Church of the Three Gods confirmed Sister Liz's location through special means and decided to drive the Great Spirit's followers to attack the aircraft and intercept the team.

The aircraft made an emergency landing and engaged in battle with the Great Spirit's followers on the ground.]

[The battle begins. The number of the Great Spirit's followers far exceeds that of the knights. Everyone must face enemies that are several times their own number. The battle situation is critical!

You avoid the Great Spirit followers whose strength is comparable to that of a formal knight, and use your super maneuverability to move back and forth on the battlefield, looking for weak Great Spirit followers and quickly defeating them!

Relying on the aircraft's spiritual field suppression, the knights gradually gained a firm foothold and divided and defeated the Great Spirit's followers one by one!

【Battle ended, successfully passed, perfect tactics】

[Battle Results: Combat Experience +12, Originium Ingot +6]

[Obtained Collection - Blunt Claw - Hundred Battles/Glass Bird]

There are two collections, and you have to choose one.

After a moment's thought, Camilla asked for the [Glass Bird].

[Blunt Claws] increases the Vanguard Operator's attack and defense by 50%, but it only takes effect during this in-depth investigation.

[Glass Bird: Hope +4, Operator Capable +1]

If there is hope, take it without thinking!

[Entering the Node——Sly Merchant]

[A distant relative conveys a question to you: the power of your bloodline is suppressed, why don't you reproduce in large numbers?]

"Um!?"

……

Chapter 50: The painful road of Blade Master!

Seeing the suppression of bloodline power, Camilla suddenly had some ideas.

It seems that his bloodline power did not weaken naturally. This was an attempt made by his father and others to continue the bloodline. However, before the follow-up arrangements could be made, the Silvermoon Fortress incident occurred.

Survival has never been about bravery and fighting. The inheritance of bloodline and the occupation of resources and space are all necessary means.

But Camilla had no intention of having children.

Without breaking through this world, who can live and reproduce peacefully?

Once he advances to a full-fledged knight, he should be able to resolve the problem of his bloodline power being suppressed.

As he pondered, he looked at the contents of the store.

[Designated six-star support operator talent] - 12 Hope.

[Designated Five-Star Operator Talent] - 6 Hopes.

[Random four-star operator talent]——4 Hope.

[Ancient Gallic Silver Coin]——8 Originium Ingots.

【Water of Life】——12 Originium Ingots.

【Blood Diamond】——16 Originium Ingots.

……

Six-star support operators... Summoners like Magellan and Ling are not considered. Summons are powerful only when used in conjunction with skills. It's impossible to give him three skills with a talent, right?

The only ones left are Skadi, Lily of the Valley and Angelina.

Angelina's first talent adds 8 points of overall attack speed, which is too small for him to increase. It is not worth spending 12 points of hope at the moment. The second talent is blood recovery, so it is not considered.

Turbid Heart Skadi's first talent is to summon Haisi, which must be used in conjunction with skills. The second talent is to increase attack, which can give him a maximum bonus of 15%.

After much thought, the most worthwhile talent at the moment is Lily of the Valley, [Skill Aura·Assistance].
