Chapter 138: Blade Master Tower Ground Advance!

After being entangled with Jima for too long and the countdown for the in-depth investigation was approaching, Camilla simply took Celia and the painting and rushed to Stuart's mansion.

Aside from Celia nearly foaming at the mouth at high speed, everything went smoothly.

Coming to the Stone of the Passion at the wall again, Camilla threw the painting out, hitting the human-shaped Stone of the Passion.

A deep blue light burst out and then faded away.

Camilla observed for a moment and left when she saw nothing unusual.

In a hurry to conduct an in-depth investigation, he simply said goodbye to Celia and then returned to the mansion.

Celia didn't stay here for long and quickly turned and left.

The night in San Siro is quiet and deep. Apart from the night watchmen, few people walk at night.

Perhaps because she was too far away from Teacher Jima, Celia's spirit gradually returned to normal. She performed a light trick and walked slowly with the help of the light.

The hard boots stepped on the cobblestone road, making a clear crisp sound in the night.

Gradually, the footsteps became heavier.

She seemed to be carrying something heavy.

A wet feeling spread throughout her body. She lowered her head with a blank expression, and her movements were unusually firm.

Beneath him, a hideous trail of blood was trailing all the way.

Her blood...had been drained away without her noticing!

Realizing this, she could no longer hold on and fell down limply.

After a minute or two, she got up again and rubbed her face, as if trying to adapt to her current situation.

Glancing back in the direction of Stuart's mansion, she quickly left.

On the wall of the mansion, the human-shaped stone of suffering was cracked in the middle, revealing a hole.

On the crack, there was some transparent mucus residue, stained with a soft black feather.

……

Camilla returned to the mansion, found Isefel and asked her to prepare a midnight snack, then went to the study.

There was still a while before he could conduct an in-depth investigation, so he took this time to sort out his previous gains.

The crystal ball obtained from the dreamland not only awakened him from his confused state, but also gave him a special method of practice - pure consciousness.

This is a method of cultivating mental strength. If he possesses other corresponding abilities, he may be able to obtain other special methods of cultivation.

Pure consciousness can gather all distracting thoughts and enter a strange state of purity and tranquility, where mental strength can slowly increase.

Of course, it also has other special effects, which are yet to be discovered in the future.

Wait a moment, and the countdown in your field of vision will be over.

In-depth investigation, start!

[In-depth Investigation: Ground Advance!]

[Additional Collections: Emperor's Favor, Glory Ribbon, Loyalty, Shadow]

[Team Confirmation - Spearhead Team]

[The devil is pursuing the Northern Crown, pursuing the treasure that is tempting and crazy under the dream!

Doctor, you have been infected with the breath of the dreamland, please be vigilant!

Okay! From now on, the devil will also target this little boy!

Camilla curled her lips and didn't care much.

He has too many enemies, and they have to be killed anyway, so he might as well kill all the demons he sees!

The collection given by the ground propulsion mode is very good.

[Emperor's Favor: All allied melee units' attack power +15%]

[Glory Ribbon: When all allied units block only one enemy unit, their attack power increases by 100%]

The last two collections are useless, and in the Spearhead Squad mode, the target's life becomes 1, but the attack power and health are +15%!

In total, it’s a 130% attack bonus!

If this set appeared in today's collection, Camilla would not care whether she could convince Alexia or not, and would go straight to the curse demon to start a war!

[Enter Node——Combat]

"Doctor, some people hate the Stuarts! They can't bear to see the Stuarts regain their former glory. They would rather destroy themselves than prevent the Stuarts from rising again!"

The method they chose was... poisoning!

Chase them and tear them apart! 】

[When the battle begins, you easily detect the poison in the food, and use this as a clue to quickly track it down, find the several apprentice knights who poisoned the food, and easily kill them.

From them, you learned that it seemed like the conflict between the previous generation had continued to affect you...】

【Battle ended, successfully passed, perfect tactics】

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

[Combat level increased, hope +4]

It seems that few of the knights of the Stuart family are obedient, so it is normal to defeat some knights and some families here.

Camilla doesn't mind taking on those grudges.

[Entering the Node——Unexpected Encounter]

Traveling Merchants: A caravan from Sharta rings its bells. Even here, the winds of their distant home still seem to protect them. They set up camp for the night, their journey bustling like a grand market. The caravan guards spot you and recognize you. The caravan owner raises a toast to you.

[Options: 1. Attend their party (consume 5 Originium Ingots, gain 3 Hopes)! 2. Decline the offer]

Camilla chose 1 without hesitation, making a huge profit at this node!

[As the two sides exchanged cups, a friendly business deal was finalized. At dawn, you politely bid farewell.]

[Entering the Node——Unexpected Encounter]

A Toaster: You see an overturned truck. The driver is nowhere to be found. There is nothing on the truck except a brand new toaster. Under the scorching sun, you notice something inside the toaster glistening.

[Take a look (get 5 Originium Ingots)]

Single choice, the same node as [The Kind Puppet].

You discover a lot of valuable gadgets hidden inside the bread maker. The Foundry's newly developed product seems to have other uses.

[Enter Node——Leisure and Entertainment]

[Drinking Contest: As we all know, a drinking contest with the water spirits of Guteng Woodland doesn't end well. I mean, they get drunk and... like some fresh food to go with it.]

【选项：1.大喝2瓶（消耗2目标生命，获得6源石锭）！2.豪饮3瓶（消耗3目标生命，获得一张随机招募券）！3.狂饮6瓶（消耗6目标生命，获得一件随机收藏品）！4.算了算了】

"..."

Not to mention that the Spearhead Squad starts with 1 target life, today's collection is [Ghost Blood], ["Intoxicated Hermoi"] and [Scepter of Leithnia]. In addition to the bonus to the three measurements, the [Scepter of Leithnia] also has the effect of -1 target life for each node entered, which will be reduced to only 1.

This kind of blood-selling node is simply not worth playing!

Camilla clicked her tongue slightly and immediately left this node.

[Entering the Node——Emergency Operation]

[If the price is right, nothing is impossible to deal with!]

Doctor, someone has hired a fallen knight of the official knight level to snipe you!

They want to explore the source of your strength and seize the secrets from you!

Those who are greedy will be punished by having their hands cut off! 】

……

Chapter 139: Blade Master's Serious Mode~

[The battle begins. The incoming fallen knight Dilila intercepts you in a remote place on the bank of the Red Valley River. As soon as you meet, she releases all restrictions and her body completely transforms. A hideous monster covered with black crystal clusters appears in front of you!

You quickly launched an attack on her, but the strange force field formed by the Originium deflected your attack and even interfered with your ability to dodge her attack. You had no choice but to confront her head-on, hitting her hard several times and suffering serious injuries!

The shattered Originium exploded into dust, covering the battlefield and making her deflection field even more powerful!

However, you understood the secret of the force field, quickly found its flaw, and defeated her in one fell swoop!]

【Battle ended, passed successfully】

[Battle Summary: Combat Experience +13, Originium Ingot +5, Obtained the Collection: Strangler]

[Stranglehold: Heavy Shooter, Sharpshooter, and Siege Shooter's attacks will forcibly kill non-leader enemies with health below 30%]

The collection is not very useful. In reality, most enemies that are not bosses can be killed in one hit!

However, this fallen knight was alienated from the very beginning and obviously didn't want to leave alive!

When advancing to a full-fledged knight, the body will begin to deform and mutate in an inhuman direction, but this kind of alienation is useless most of the time and may even prevent the full-fledged knight from exerting his full strength, so there will generally be a certain degree of suppression.

Alienation will become more and more serious with practice, until you are promoted to a great knight and reach a completely alienated form!

For the great knights who are capable of controlling alienation, this is just a special form of combat for them.

Ordinary official knights may also actively promote the alienation process and reach a state of complete alienation, but this is irreversible, and the completely alienated inhuman form will cause them to gradually lose their sanity. They will only do this if they are desperate!

This was a near-suicidal attack!

Camilla wasn't too worried.

Not to mention that he won in the in-depth investigation, now he has obtained the information, and the one fighting against the fallen knight Dilila is his "String Shock" dragon!

If there was no attack speed bonus, he would have to carefully consider the question of who is stronger, Dilila's alienated form or the "String Shock" dragon. But after having the attack speed, the "String Shock" dragon will definitely win!

There won't be any surprises in this battle!

[Entering the Node——Unexpected Encounter]

After the Fatal Battle: In the wilderness, you see many heavily armed mercenary knights lying in a shambles, all lifeless. You quickly examine these unfortunate individuals and discover a large, heavy iron chest with an incredibly strong lock, but you can't find the key.

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

This is the hidden ending in Ceobe's Gray Fungus Maze.

After a brief thought, Camilla chose option 1.

Since I don’t know if I can reach the end, I’ll just try to hide.

[Looking back at the fallen man, then at the iron box in your hand, you have a bad feeling.]

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

A special collection with negative effects, but these negative effects are meaningless to him.

[Entering the Node——Unexpected Encounter]

Lost Victoria Knight: You encounter a knight wandering the land with his squire. For some reason, his squire makes a strange noise while banging two coconut shells together. He asks you if you've heard of "Holy Originium Grenade."

[Options: 1. Honestly, I've never heard of it (obtained the treasure, the left half of the coconut shell)! 2. Lie to him and point in a random direction (obtained the treasure, the right half of the coconut shell)! 3. Ask him back, "Do you know where Rhodes Island is?"]

The effect of [Left Half Coconut Shell] is deployment cost +6, attack, defense and life +8%, and the effect of [Right Half Coconut Shell] is health -35%, and redeployment time -50%.

The former is a bit of a pitfall, as Chimilla already has the -2 mana added by [Heavy Iron Box]. He's afraid that if the reduction is too much, the enemy might attack first, which is an outrageous outcome. This thing can't be taken casually.

And the latter...can Blade Master himself deploy it again?

I'm afraid the target point was moved away and then put back.

After a little thought, Camilla chose 3 and left this node.

[Entering the Node——Sly Merchant]

I Saw...The Ultimate of Life
