Chapter 315: Chapter 195: The Secret Hidden Under the Appearance, Searching for Black Shine Ore_2
For a moment, he thought it was highly possible.
"..So becoming part of the Stars Oath is actually the proper strategy for conquering the Hermit Valley."
The Stars Oath is extremely treacherous, requiring the ’Devoted Service’ of all spirits while continuously contributing the spirits obtained from the subsequent game process.
On the other hand, it also provides the reward of the ’Star Spirit Temple’ and the "key" to the ’Hermit Valley’.
Joining the ’Almighty True Knowledge’ Oath possesses an even greater difficulty in the game process and lacks some rewards. However, the blind draw of the ’Book of the Favored’ makes up for it all."
"That’s not right, the ’Dark Dragon Knight’ belongs to the ’Almighty True Knowledge’ faction. I got the instructions to go to the Hermit Valley from him. If I were a member of Stars faction, I probably wouldn’t get the legacy."
Lin Xun thought hard about it, finding it more and more puzzling. Isn’t this game process contradictory?
In the beginning, the ’Almighty True Knowledge’ Oath is required to obtain the Dragon Knight’s legacy, while ’Bright Stars’ Oath is needed to proceed normally in the game process after entering the Hermit Valley.
Does the strategy for completing the ’Hermit Valley’ really have to be so frustrating?
He ignored everything else and quickly flipped through the earlier game script.
After much effort, he managed to find the script before entering the ’Dark Dragon Knight’ illusion.
The words on the stone tablet beside the giant dragon skeleton didn’t explicitly demand that he was a believer of ’Almighty True Knowledge’.
In other words, even if he was a believer of ’Bright Stars’, he could still obtain the legacy.
Then, a clue he had previously overlooked surfaced in front of him.
At that time, at the bottom of the Abyss lake, the script described as follows when he touched the chains in the pitch darkness:
[The iron chain is so thick that it can be embraced by a dozen men. On the surface of the chain, you can feel a myriad of mysterious characters engraved in depression.]
"Characters..."
The kind smile of the ’Servant of Knowledge’ appeared in his mind for a moment.
The words at the bottom of the stone tablet stated that the Dragon Knight once said, [Pass my test, and you shall be bestowed with my legacy.]
[When you become a being that can rival the spirits, remember to take revenge for me...]
At that time, he took it for granted that the object of revenge was a god from the ’Bright Stars’ faction. Thinking back now, the matter probably isn’t so simple.
"So this whole series of tasks was meant for the Apostles who made the ’Bright Stars’ oath. Could it be that by the time I get to the final phase of the legacy, I’ll be tasked with breaking into the ’Temple of Knowledge’?"
Lin Xun shook his head, discarding this impractical thought.
His power is still too weak right now. Even if there was such a task, it would probably be part of the later Chapters.
Faced with sugar-coated shells, Lin Xun’s choice is to eat the sugar and bounce back the shells.
[There are countless ’Black Shine poison Ore’ piled up in the underground warehouse, do you want to use these ores to upgrade your bloodline power?]
As a ’Mixed-Blood Half-Dragon’, the bloodline purity of the overseer is much higher than that of ’Broken-horned Sharu’. Of course, Lin Xun wants to use this shell to temper his bloodline power.
[You pick up a piece of ’Black Shine poison Ore’ （Excellent+ Level） and put it in your mouth, urging the ’Hermit Blood Secret Method’ to draw the weak blood power from it...]
[Drawing in progress...]
[You are being corroded by severe toxins!]
[The anti-toxin crystal core of the ’Light Moth’ you carry is twinkling faintly.]
[Drawing complete, your bloodline power has improved slightly!]
[You spit out a little grey powder, which is the useless residue left after the bloodline power has been drawn.]
[Would you like to continue drawing?]
Is that all there is to it?
Lin Xun noticed that there was a message of being corroded by severe toxins when absorbing the ore.
However, the anti-toxin crystal core in his item bar can improve the resistance to toxins, reducing the harm from severe toxin.
He continued to absorb the ore, but after only a few pieces, the game script showed [You have suffered some damage.]
"Now I understand why these overseers store these ores instead of absorbing them."
"Turns out absorbing this stuff needs a cooldown!"
According to this rate, he would die from severe toxification after absorbing some more ores.
Lin Xun scratched his head, thought a little and came up with a solution.
The solution is pretty straightforward, though, it is a bit time-consuming.
All he needs to do is to store all the ores in his item bar, then die once and return to the rest page, where he can keep absorbing ores.
Whenever his shell is about to die from toxification, he can restore his health using the rest page and continue to absorb ore without interruption.
However, it takes a whole day and night to travel from Multivision Association back to Hermit Valley, which is very time-consuming.
"If only I had a healing shell... I miss the first day of the nun."
Lin Xun sighed heavily and picked up all the ores.
There were more than two hundred ores in the underground warehouse, including both Excellent Level and Excellent+ Level ores. Some of them even belonged to the new overseer.
According to ’Broken-horned Sharu’, over a hundred ores are enough for a ’Mixed-Blood Half-Dragon’ to ascend to a ’Mixed-Blood Half-Dragon’.
If he wants the Mixed-Blood overseer to become a ’Pure-Blood Half-Dragon’, the ores in here are far from enough.
"If the Abyss Cave hadn’t collapsed, perhaps I could have gone down to the Abyss Lake to absorb some bloodline energy, but sadly..."
After killing the underground demon, an earthquake occurred in the cave. He still remembered vividly the scene where he used the Law Knight as a substitute to avoid death.
[You step out of your residence cavern, encountering the mine slave guard team waiting at the entrance. The dozing Mixed-Blood Half-Dragons are immediately awoken and hurriedly kneel to pay their respects to you.]
