Ark pigeon mode, activated!

A towering black shadow like a mountain blocks your way, and the surging spirit suppresses all teleportation abilities.

You see giant claws filling your field of vision, clawing towards you! 】

[Enter the Boss level, the Great Spirit's follower, the Curse Demon! ]

[The battle begins, the giant claw strikes down, and before you can react, you turn into an inconspicuous pool of blood.]

【The battle is over, you are dead】

[In-depth Investigation Results: Combat Experience +12, Originium Ingot +2, Hope -4, Talent Gained, Ready to Go]

As soon as the settlement began, Camilla immediately felt changes in her body. It became more flexible and strong, and her control ability continued to improve.

More importantly, his talent [Ready to Go] took effect, and he clearly felt the spiritual energy accumulated in his body increasing rapidly!

The talent of this body of his is very poor, and the speed of accumulating spiritual energy is usually very low, which is completely incomparable to this!

As long as there is no fighting or magic tricks, his spirit is at full value and exceeds the limit with normal absorption, and he can continue to improve at this speed!

Furthermore, in the game, only the highest value of the same skill's recovery ability would be effective, so he doubted that his could be stacked.

After carefully feeling it for a while, Camilla turned his attention to his status bar.

【Dr.Chimera·Stuart#9581】

[Talent: Ready to Go]

[Today's Collection: Rabbit Shack, Black Dance Shoes, Ursus Scimitar, Rusty Blade - Execution]

【Hope: 2】

[Originium Ingot: 7]

[In-depth investigation: 0 (23:55)]

What surprised him was that [Rusty Blade-Execution] was actually on the status bar!

I don't have the [Gallic Biscuits] obtained through other nodes, nor the [Laughing Joker] from last time. I'm afraid it can only be purchased with Originium Ingots in the store.

But those obtained through other means can be found in corresponding items in reality!

The hope that the talent would double compared to recruiting operators made him believe that the talent would be permanently effective, and he guessed that the collection purchased with Originium ingots would last for a day until it was refreshed after in-depth investigation!

After sorting out the harvest, Camilla began to analyze the information obtained from this in-depth investigation.

What he was most concerned about was undoubtedly the curse that would eventually kill him.

He strongly suspected that the Orichalcum Knight was blocking him in reality and the Curse Demon was blocking him in the spiritual world. No matter how he left, he would encounter one of them!

The question is...how did they locate him!?

Spirit world teleportation is a special spiritual technique recorded by the Stuart family. It can be used with the help of spiritual materials and can be used during the apprentice knight stage. Moreover, the teleportation has a certain degree of randomness and may not be accurate.

If you want to intercept him, you must accurately locate where he is when he is teleporting!

This is not something that any follower of a great spirit can do!

Kemira thought expressionlessly, stood up, opened the door of the library and left.

When he arrived at the door of the mansion, he saw Isfiel trimming the flowers and plants in the courtyard with scissors.

The maid has a plump figure, and when she bends down, the slim-fitting clothes outline some breathtaking curves, which is pleasing to the eye.

Camilla just watched without saying a word.

Soon, Isfir noticed Camilla at the door and turned around to bow slightly.

"Master, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?"

Camilla was silent for a few seconds, then slowly nodded and turned to walk towards the restaurant.

……

Chapter 8: Blade Master is going on a killing spree!

A peaceful night passed slowly in spiritual practice.

Camilla discovered that his estimation of [Ready to Go] was still somewhat wrong.

Not only did he gain this talent, he also gained a very rare feature in the game - charging!

[Charge: When your skill power reaches the upper limit, you can continue to recover. When it recovers to twice the upper limit, it enters the charging state. Activating skills at this time will trigger additional effects (activating skills at any time will consume all skill power)]

Translated into reality, his total spiritual power doubled!

He could clearly feel that the spirit in his body had become unusually heavy. From then on, every attack using the spirit would consume double the energy, producing additional effects like heavy blows!

Moreover, unlike in games where skills must be used up as soon as they are activated, his spirit power may not be consumed below the upper limit. As long as this limit is maintained, he can always trigger [Ready to Go]!

In his impression, only three operators have the ability to charge: the six-star Carnellian, the five-star Tequila, and the latest six-star bonus operator Lumen.

Actually, there is a fourth one, Gnosis, and this is a sadder story.

The next morning, after waking up in a daze, Kemila subconsciously checked the collection.

[Today's Collection: Singing of the Shallow Sea, Hands of Speed, Scepter of Leithnia, Rusted Blade - Execution]

"hand!!!"

Camilla woke up instantly!

[Hand of Speed: When there are no friendly units within 100 squares around the Executioner, Ambusher, and Puppet Master, attack speed +]

In his eyes, this is a collection that is in no way inferior to [“Sword Dance”]!

He has no occupational restrictions, and there is only one person, so he can fully benefit from it!

The effect of [Rusty Blade - Execution] is still there, and now his attack speed has increased by 130!

In the game, there is a basic attack speed of 100. Increasing it by 100 means the attack speed is doubled!

This is pretty scary!

Moreover, there is a very critical issue. The operators cannot move in the game, so the attack speed simply increases the attack speed, but in reality, his movement speed, dynamic vision, etc. have corresponding improvements!

And other collections -

[Qian Hai Qing Chang: All enemy units' attack power, defense power, and health points increased by 8%, and the desired cost when recruiting 4-star or higher operators is increased by 1]

[Lethania Scepter: All enemy units' attack power, defense power, and health are increased by 30%. Each time a new node is entered, 1 target's health is lost (reduced to a maximum of 1)]

There are two negative collections. [Singing of the Shallow Sea] consumes Hope +1, which is disgusting. I guess it will become a talent purchase that consumes Hope +1 here.

[Singing of the Shallow Sea] and [Ghost Blood] are both collections from the first phase of the meat pigeon [Ceobe's Gray Mushroom Maze]. The values ​​are still too conservative. The [Ghost Blood] with the highest three-dimensional bonus is only 20%, while the second phase [Puppet Shadow and Scarlet Solitary Diamond] has the lowest 25%.

But it doesn’t matter. As the attack speed increases, scraping will become scraping bones!

Today, I will kill people indiscriminately in Blade Master Tower!

After getting up full of energy, washing up and having breakfast, Camilla went out.

Isfir still stayed at home, and she was the only servant left, so she was naturally very busy.

When she is not strong enough, Camilla will selectively ignore some abnormalities in the family.

The knights of the Stuart family have fought fiercely with the followers of the Great Spirit for generations. It is hard to say how much spoils they have obtained and how much is hidden in the mansion.

If you move around carelessly, it may easily result in death.

One should act bravely but also with caution.

Today, Camilla went to the foundry again.

He still had some information to learn, which was related to an important plan for him to escape from the blockade of the bronze knights and the cursed demons.

After spending a whole morning in the foundry building and reviewing some of the files that were allowed to be viewed, Camilla had a general idea in her mind.

His plan is very sound and this issue can be put aside for the time being.

Next, there are issues concerning the family business.

The Stuart family's income used to come mainly from three sources.

One is the high salary of the knights, which accounts for the bulk, because a titled knight is basically supported according to the standards of an ordinary army. The Stuart family has always had steam armor, and as long as someone becomes an official knight, the titled knights will not stop.

However, the maintenance of steam armor and the loading of new functional modules are also huge expenses. Don't expect to get rich from this. You may have to get money from other aspects.

The second is the income from the jewelry workshop. The Stuart family has two jewelry workshops in the city of Sharta, employing a group of skilled craftsmen. The jewelry produced has always been very popular, bringing a lot of wealth to the Stuart family.

But if you go to check now, everyone in the two jewelry workshops has left and the doors are locked.

The targeting of many knight families was not something that a group of craftsmen and employees could withstand. Moreover, they did not have a good impression of the Stuart family, which only had one child left, and it was even less likely that they would work for it.

The third is the income from the watch factory. The Stuart family built a small watch factory on the outskirts of the city. The watch technology was purchased from the foundry. It has a complete set of production processes. As long as you are willing to invest, you can operate it.

Compared to jewelry, watches are generally cheaper, but also easier to sell, especially in the current context where most watches on the market are handmade, it is easy to capture part of the market with relatively low prices.

Obviously, the factory has also stopped production.

Camilla needs a lot of money to support her practice.

If we ignore the first one, the second and third ones are both very difficult to solve.

Those knight families did not resort to blatant violent attacks, direct robbery or other means that would cause the Metropolitan Police Department to intervene. They simply poached your people until you could no longer operate and had to close down. This can only be considered a means of commercial competition and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Even if Camilla got rid of all the guys from the knight family, it would take a lot of effort to get the jewelry workshop and watch factory up and running again.

If you want to sell them, you will definitely be offered a very low price, but if you just leave them there, you will lose money every day.

Camilla slowly pondered a countermeasure, hired a carriage, and rushed to a jewelry workshop.

The development of various aspects of the Cuisi Empire is very unbalanced. There are definitely means of transportation similar to cars, but they are not popular. Ordinary people's daily travel either relies on feet, horse-drawn carriages, ox-drawn carts, or simple but sturdy bicycles.

After arriving at the jewelry workshop on a street in the west of the city, Camilla took out the key she had prepared in advance, opened the door and walked in.

The workshop had been closed for some time, and there was some dust on the ground, as well as messy footprints stirring up the dust.

After a quick inspection, Camilla realized that someone had sneaked in when the place was closed and stole some finished jewelry and raw materials stored there.

When faced with wealth, there will always be people who take risks.

Camilla was not surprised by this.

He checked the traces and immediately found the account book, employee list and notebook recording daily matters in the workshop. After looking at them carefully, he gradually had some guesses in his mind.

In this emergency battle, it is naturally impossible for him to encounter invincible enemies like official knights. His opponent... is a gang in the dark corner of Sharta City!

They are greedy and profit-driven, sometimes they value money over their lives, and they dare to trample on the rules. They are very good... targets for exploitation!

There is no time to bother with them, just kill them all!

……

Chapter 9: Blade Master's Brutal Combo!

A knight must be noble and focus on virtue.

This is the concept that Cuisi New Country advocates and continues to promote.

Only by adhering to virtues and various creeds can one continue to climb up in this country.

Of course, the real reason and the real secret lies in the root characteristic of the spirit - oath!

Knights who have practiced to a certain level will feel that spirit is a force of wisdom!

Therefore, the knight can make a vow to the spirit by his own will.

The more demanding the oath, the more feedback the spirit will give!

It can be said that this is about creating a weakness and accepting it sincerely in exchange for greater strength!

Once the oath is broken, the knight will be severely injured, and in serious cases he may even die on the spot!

With this premise, most knights choose to swear an oath based on virtue!

Must be humble, must be brave, must be kind, must be fair...

What kind of oath is made is the knight's biggest secret and must never be revealed!

In this situation, the knight would not do anything despicable.

So... when necessary, someone has to do it for them!

This provides a breeding ground for gang thugs hiding in dark corners.
