Ark pigeon mode, activated!

Black Jace originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing these words, he accepted it.

He didn't quite understand the whole thing, but he could clearly sense the abnormality of the Stone of Suffering at the end!

He did take a big risk by getting involved.

After chatting for a few words, Black Jace left quickly.

He also didn't want to stay near Stuart's mansion for too long.

Camilla stared at the Stone of Suffering for a moment, then turned and left, entering the mansion.

After an unknown amount of time, under the pitch-black night, the human-shaped stone of suffering embedded in the wall suddenly trembled.

The outline became vaguely clearer.

Chapter 88: Blade Master Tower Entertainment First~

Late at night, in the study.

Camilla sat alone on the sofa, watching the countdown gradually reaching zero.

In-depth investigation, start!

[In-depth investigation: Entertainment first!]

[Additional Collections: Immortal's Proof, Banshee's Kiss, Flawless Jade]

[Team Confirmation - Cluster Team]

[Doctor, the dinner has begun.]

The cold thrush awakens the deep night, and the face of the heart opens the hall door.

The great Red, who sits at the table, will feast on the white deer, and the noble cup will overflow with blood!

For the dead, for the immortal, for those who have no tears!

Come! Drink this cup! 】

In the entertainment-first mode, Camilla both wants to encounter it and doesn't want to encounter it.

You want to come across it because the collections are so delicious, but you don’t want to come across it because it’s for leisure and entertainment along the way, which costs money!

[Evidence of Immortality: Immediately gain target health +10]

[Banshee's Kiss: Hope +8]

[Flawless Gemstone: Immediately gain Originium Ingot +25]

Simple and unpretentious effect.

The squad is a cluster squad, with +2 carrying slots and + deployed people, which is not bad.

However, the content of this in-depth investigation is not good!

It actually involves the Great Red Spirit!

Other unknown entities or great spirits may also be involved. Just thinking about it will make you realize how dangerous it is!

If she really had to face this group of guys, Camilla thought it would be better to try to find a Paladin for help.

[Enter Node——Combat]

To improve your martial arts skills, you will seek out the Clifton Knights, who specialize in guns. Join the students in a limited practice battle!

The battle begins. Due to your martial arts training, you don't display any exaggerated strength, relying solely on the White Lion Fist. However, your solid foundation and superior reaction speed allow you to easily defeat your opponents one by one, securing victory.

【Battle ended, successfully passed, perfect tactics】

[Battle Results: Combat Experience +10, Originium Ingot +5]

[Combat level increased, hope +4]

Camilla knew very well that even if he tried his best to use the same level of strength and speed as the apprentice knights, the apprentice knights' movements would still be as slow as a turtle in his eyes, and it would be easy for him to find their flaws and defeat them.

[Enter Node——Leisure and Entertainment]

[Strange Salesman: In a large open space on the outskirts of San Siro, you see a knight apprentice in dirty formal attire standing on a pile of boxes, peddling his wares to the neighbors. He claims these boxes are rare goods he obtained through "special channels." But you discover that these boxes are all printed with the Foundry logo...]

[Options: 1. Come, buy one and see what it has (consumes 5 Originium Ingots, with a chance of receiving a collectible)! 2. Forget it, it doesn't seem worth it.]

The old lady in the Gray Mushroom Maze version, I dare not gamble, I dare not gamble.

Camilla left this node directly.

[Entering the Node——Unexpected Encounter]

Scarlet Ball: A masked ball will be held at the Cartercarlo Mansion this afternoon, and you've received an invitation. Countless dancers, dressed in their finest attire, surround you, men and women wearing masks. They glide past you, passionate song after passionate song flowing through the ballroom. Even when voices are hoarse and dry, no one feels tired; even when their shoes are worn and their feet bleed, no one stops dancing. You can't see their faces clearly; they all wear masks of joy.

[Option: 1. Put on gorgeous clothes (consume 10 Originium ingots, gain 8 target health)

2. Present flowers to the dancer! (Consume 10 Originium Ingots, gain 6 Hope)

3. Dance with the dancer (consumes 4 Hope and an equal amount of upper limit, gains 10 target health)

4. Sing a song (consumes 5 target life, gains 8 hope)

5. Unmask the Dancer (Consume 5 target health and gain 15 Originium Ingots)

6. Escape secretly

The node with the most options.

Camilla chose 4 without hesitation.

Target life is something that is meant to be spent. I hope to make a killing if I exchange it for 8!

[Entering the Node—Intermission]

Squandering a Gift—You sneak into the underground wine cellar of the Cartercarlo mansion and discover a group of apprentice knights engaged in a drinking contest. They're wantonly squandering the Cartercarlo family's centuries-old treasures, but they claim to have the owner's permission. Seeing you arrive, they've rolled a barrel full of precious wine for you, inviting you to join in the revelry!

[Option: 1. Drink one-third of the barrel (consume 2 target health, obtain 6 source stone ingots)

2. Drink half a bucket (consume 3 target lives and get a random recruitment ticket)

3. Drink a bucket (consume 6 target health and get a random collectible)

4. Forget it, forget it, your health is more important.

The initial target life is 6, [Certificate of Immortality] +10, 5 have just been consumed, and there are 11 left. At least 1 must be retained to move freely. The target life that Chimilla can control is exactly 10 points.

The collections from [Leisure and Entertainment] or [Interlude] are the same as those in the store. Once obtained, they will be effective until the next in-depth investigation begins. Unfortunately, option 3 consumes too much of the target's life.

Option 2 obtains a recruitment scroll, and Camilla suspects it is to give talents to operators. This must be tried.

His current 29 hope points are enough to get two six-star talents!

The remaining target life can all be used to buy Originium Ingots!

Camilla chose 2 first!

[Look at you, you're good at drinking like a truly powerful knight. The trainee knights are very happy and gave you some gifts.]

Then go directly to the recruitment page.

It's a six-star medical operator's talent!

There are not many six-star medical operators in Camilla, only Nightingale, Shining, and Lumen.

Among them, the one that increases attack speed is Shining's second talent [Codex], which adds 13 attack speed, which is even worse than Archangel's [Quick Magazine] of 15 attack speed!

After a brief consideration, Camilla did not continue to stack attack speed, but chose Nightingale's talent [Shelter of the White Devil]!

[White Devil's Protection: Friendly units within the attack range gain +17 spell resistance and receive 3% increased healing effects.]

The added resistance to his use of Golden Blood has a significant defensive effect!

With this, if he meets Isabet again, he might be able to defeat her without being seriously injured!

After making your selection, the drinking option appears again.

Camilla didn't hesitate and continued to spend 3 target life points to drink!

The recruitment page appears, and it’s a five-star support operator!

Camilla couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He was weighing one thing, the talent of truth [Seeker], which has a defense of -35% but an attack speed of +21. Should he take it?

He relies on the defense of golden blood, which is why he is not so fragile. Now that his defense is reduced, it seems not so good!

However, with his high speed, he is usually hit by spiritual attacks. This defense reduction does not affect magic resistance, so the negative impact does not seem to be that great?

Tsk! I want it!

In battle, you either kill the enemy instantly or get killed instantly, that's the real pleasure!

[Orbiter] 25, [Casting Speed ​​Boost] 9, [Soul Grabber] 36, [Surveyor] 21, his current attack speed is 91! !

[White Devil's Shelter] costs 12 hopes, and [Surveyor] costs 6 hopes, leaving only 11 hopes, which is not enough to get a six-star operator talent, so Camilla did not continue.

There were still 4 target health points left to consume, so Camilla chose option 1 for all of them, exchanging 4 target health points for 12 Originium Ingots!

At this point, he has accumulated 126 Originium ingots!

Once you get the three-piece attack speed set, it's like taking off!

With only 1 target life left and nothing more could be done, Camilla left this node.

[Entering the Node——Emergency Operation]

……

Chapter 89: Dinner at Blade Master Tower

The Cartecarlo family has been rooted in San Siro for a long time, experiencing ups and downs. The current official knight, Desire Cartecarlo, retired in 1939 and has lived in the Cartecarlo mansion for a long time.

During the dance, you accidentally broke into a hidden room when you left the table, and saw his collection that should not be known to outsiders.

You have aroused his murderous intent! 】

[The battle begins. Desire is still at his peak, very powerful, but before he can use any killing moves, you simply cut off his neck.]

【Battle ended, successfully passed, perfect tactics】

[Battle Results: Combat Experience +12, Originium Ingots +7, Receive Collection Route Map]

[Route Description Map: Number of people that can be deployed simultaneously +1]

Ordinary collection.

but……

"...Is this the normal strength of a proper knight?"

Camilla was a little speechless.

The two official knights he came to San Siro to fight, one mastered the power of the secret realm, and the other had exclusive spiritual skills for attack. Both were extremely fierce, so it was a bit surprising that he suddenly encountered one of them and killed him easily.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he has increased his attack speed a lot.

[Entering the Node——Sly Merchant]

【I will return like lightning! 】

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

[Random six-star guard operator talent]——12 Hope.

[Designated four-star vanguard operator talent] - 4 Hope.

[Ascetic Puff]——8 Originium Ingots.

[Rusty Blade - Single Soldier]——12 Originium Ingots.

[“Bloom”]——16 Originium Ingots.

……

"Return... Is that guy leaving the spirit world?"

Camilla muttered something, not really caring, paying more attention to the items in the store.
