Chapter 716 Throwing stones to ask for directions (4800 words)

About skills.

Yi Lin noticed a strange thing shortly after the "Apostle Era" came.

It seems that not only him, but every apostle, the probability of obtaining "skills" from various channels has dropped significantly.

Moreover, in the version update notes, there is one point worth noting.

That is……

The dead apostle, all the skills, equipment, and unused props he got from the tower will return to the "Wishing Pool", and the fallen leaves will return to their roots, where they came and went.

So does this mean...

After the general call, because there are too many apostles, the skills... are not enough?

Later, Yi Lin faintly noticed this from the words of friends around her, or the posts on the apostle forum.

Fewer and fewer people are discussing what kind of skills they get.

Obviously, in the past, this kind of thing was quite popular.

such as——

[Mengxin accidentally got the "A-level" skill in the last trial, is the probability outrageous? 】

[Excuse me, if someone accidentally obtained an "S-level" skill, can he be considered a master? 】

[I have too many skills now, and my psionic energy is not enough, so troublesome! 】

In the past, there were many similar posts on the forum.

But recently, similar posts have become less and less.

[Sword Mastery] and [Sword Mastery] are two passive skills related to "sword".

It fell on Yi Lin, and it is completely useless at present.

ah no~

It's not completely useless, he still has two [rare level] swords in his bag, and Yi Lin forgot them all at once in Haiting City, and gave them to Oda Mai before he had time. With these two passive skills, you can pretend to be cute and melee in the future, and you can pretend more roundly and freely.

In the future, when he meets people he doesn't know, he can say: I am an ignorant Erjianliu melee side.

From various signs, it reflects a little bit from the side.

"In this circle, involution is getting more and more serious."

It's no wonder that in Haiting City, the remnants of the Dawn Sect can easily stir up conflicts between newcomers and veterans.

Compared with newcomers, the advantages of seniors are too great.

According to Li Kai,

Most of the new apostles, after surviving the first cruel trial of preparatory apostles, could no longer muster up the courage to step into the gate trial. Even if they saw a brand new world, they would rather be an "ordinary person" and work hard. Gou survived.

Yi Lin sighed softly, thinking of this, he closed the apostle panel silently.

After counting the harvest, the next step is to deal with the "chaos value".

On board, nothing major happened for the time being, and it was considered safe.

Even if some sea monster emerges from the sea, Yi Lin believes that with Miriam's fighting power, the sea monster can be easily smashed to pieces. Maybe you can have a delicious supper.

Yi Lin had no doubts about this.

Regarding supper, Miriam cared more than anyone else.

Yi Lin closed her eyes and felt her body falling down. After a while, he came to the module space.

This strange space, which only existed in his spiritual world, was as barren and dead as ever. There were only glowing spheres connected by threads in the depths of the void.

Put the two new skills aside.

Although Yi Lin now has a chaos value of 300,000, which is fat once, but compared to the huge chaos value required to upgrade the module skills, it is just a drop in the bucket, and it can't be a few clicks.

"Three hundred thousand."

Yi Lin thought for a while.

After a while,

He deftly shrank the module in front of him, and pressed his finger on the ball of light where the [Grip of Annihilation] was located.

Yi Lin is already familiar with the upgrade process, so the confirmation process is directly omitted.

The skill ball flashed, and [Grasp of Annihilation] cost a total of 160,000 chaos points to upgrade to 4 stars.

...

【Grasp of Annihilation】

[grade] 4 stars

[Consumption] 400 psionic energy points

[Restrictions] Cast spells with bare hands.

[Effect] Lock a 10X10X10 cubic space area with bare hands, and produce a blast of unknown power. The casting distance is positively correlated with the blasting power and the comprehensive attributes of strength, agility, and spirit. There is a certain chance to trigger the "Annihilation" effect, and the trigger rate is related to the luck attribute.

[Explanation] Your hand is so murderous that it will deny your relatives. If you are not careful, you may even die in "annihilation".

...

After skill upgrade,

Yi Lin carefully read the description attached to the skill.

Seeing this, Yi Lin was slightly taken aback.

It seems that something is wrong.

"It's strange, when the grip of Annihilation is three-star, it obviously only consumes 200 psionic energy points, and the blasting range is '4X4X4'. But why does the four-star become '10X10X10'? This is not a card according to common sense? The consumption is overwhelmed Doubled, the blasting range is higher than expected?"

Erin frowned.

The upgrade route of this skill deviates a little from what was imagined.

After a while, Yi Lin happily accepted this cruel reality.

At first, he thought that the explosion range of the skill should be upgraded to "8X8X8".

As for the extra consumption, hey~ With his current psionic energy value, does that count as consumption?

The only thing to worry about is that with the upgraded [Grip of Annihilation], picking up the Annihilation Ball should be more difficult than expected. He needs more practice.

all in all,

This skill became Yi Lin's other skill that could be called "the final word" besides [Bloodthirsty Calamity].

In the Apocalypse Guild, Yi Lin and Lao Pan were classified as the "one-shot group".

This "one-shot group" is well-deserved.

An annihilation ball was dropped, and Yi Lin didn't know what would happen.

Thinking about it for a while, even he himself was a little scared.

On [Grip of Annihilation], Yi Lin consumed 160,000 chaos points.

There are only 140,000 chaos points left.

"You can upgrade another skill."

Yi Lin pondered for a moment, and made a decisive choice.

There is nothing to hesitate.

snap~

"Give me an upgrade!"

...

【Bloodthirsty Disaster】

[grade] 4 stars

[Consumption] 50% HP

[Restriction] You must say loudly "It's not me, but this world!" before the skill can be activated.

[Effect] Every time a life is killed, you can choose to absorb 40% of the total attributes of "Strength", "Agility" and "Spirit" of the dead, and condense it into 1 layer of "Blood Instinct". The "Blood Instinct" can accumulate 5 layers in total. After using the skill, all "blood" can be consumed to generate a temporary attribute value assigned independently.

[Duration] 240 seconds

[Cooling time] 48 hours (Note: The apostle will fall into a "weak" state during the skill cooling period)

[Explanation] Death is like the wind, accompanying me! If you're not careful, you might end up dying before you kill anyone.

...

As the hole card in the hole, Yi Lin put the [Bloodthirsty Disaster] in the forefront again.

With the comprehensive improvement of Yi Lin's measurements, the "weak" state is no longer as scary as it was at the beginning.

At the very least, Yi Lin's mental attributes will not drop to the point where Yi Lin has "cerebral palsy".

This skill, as a skill to turn back the residual blood, has allowed Yi Lin to seek life in headwinds many times. At first, Yi Lin resisted in her heart, but now she feels that it is a lot of fragrance.

After the module skills are upgraded,

The skill consumption is still 50% of the life value, which has not changed. After all, it is a violent blood skill, and Yi Lin can understand it.

The change in skills is that each layer of blood will increase from 30% to 40%. Now Yi Lin doesn't need to deliberately choose the target to condense the blood, as long as it is not too bad, with five layers of blood stacked, Yi Lin can easily and easily raise the attributes of spirit, agility, and strength to the extraordinary state of a lock .

When the three attributes are broken at the same time, Yi Lin can be regarded as the real firepower. Except for [Echo of Misfortune], all other abilities can be used freely.

in addition,

The duration of the skill has been extended from 210 seconds to 240 seconds.

Four full minutes.

In these four minutes, if Yi Lin loses her temper, it will become a nightmare for countless people.

Operation complete.

Yi Lin exited the module space.

After a busy night, a white light of a fish maw faintly floats on the distant horizon.

After consuming a lot of psionic energy, Yi Lin felt a little sleepy, so she lay down on the spot and fell asleep.

Sailing days are dull and tedious.

Cerberus was as calm as ever though.

But Yi Lin could see the anxiety deep in her heart.

The motor of the cargo ship was cranking loudly, with full power.

It stands to reason that there are only two reasons why Cerberus is so anxious.

One is because of the stolen treasure of the clock tower,

The second is relatives.

As for which one, Yi Lin was embarrassed to find out.

As for Erin,

He had the experience of sailing in the vast sea for more than two months before, which didn't make Yi Lin have the slightest negative emotion.

There are folding beds in the cargo ship.

He moved out one, and when the weather was fine, he lay on the deck and enjoyed sunbathing.

Griffin squatted on the roof of the cockpit, gnashing his teeth and staring at the book in Yi Lin's hand.

——"A Discussion on the Humanistic Ethics of Animal Transfiguration Magic in Daily Life".

Obviously, this is another book that Yi Lin "borrowed" from the clock tower library.

During these short twenty-four hours, at sunrise and sunset, Griffin kept staring at Yi Lin, and she found that just because Yi Lin switched back and forth, there were already six different books.

"How many copies did he steal!!"

During the boring voyage, an interesting incident also happened.

Yi Lin quietly dripped a few drops of blood into the sea, which actually attracted groups of hungry sharks.

That night, Milian, who had been hungry all day, ate a whole shark feast to her satisfaction.

Yi Lin changed the tricks, used different shark positions... er, body parts, and cooked a total of eight dishes.

When Milian was eating to her heart's content, the ancestral hair on her forehead curled into a strange shape, and she couldn't stop convulsing and trembling.

After going out to sea, it was dusk on the third day.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sea red.

The cargo ship quietly arrived on the other side of the English Channel.

On the other side of the coast, when the five of Yi Lin went ashore, they did not encounter local armed forces such as robbers and road bandits.

Yi Lin deeply regrets this.

Not long after Yi Lin and the others landed.

A very ordinary-looking white pigeon fluttered its wings and flew towards the direction where Yi Lin and the others were.

Just when Yi Lin raised her hand and was about to take a picture of the passing white pigeon from the air, Cerberus' expression changed slightly, and he quickly suppressed Yi Lin's eagerness to move.

"A communication between magicians."

While Cerberus was talking, the white dove landed precisely on Cerberus' shoulder.

"Flying pigeons to pass on letters? What an ancient method!"

The white dove spat out a miniature emerald in the palm of Cerberus. After completing the mission, the white pigeon tremblingly glanced at Yi Lin's direction, and flew away as if fleeing for her life.

Cerberus slapped the emerald, and the emerald flashed with light, one after another, ancient characters appeared on the emerald.

This is the "rune rune" magic that Cerberus is used to. It has many functions and is used to convey secret information.

"We have to hurry up."

After reading what the pigeon conveyed, Cerberus didn't explain anything.

Several people rushed on the road overnight, only rested for three hours at night, and galloped all the way in the direction of the German Republic.

along the way,

There are quite a few abandoned gas stations, unguarded.

Yi Lin finally let Night Dire eat pure fuel once in a serious manner. The locomotive under Yi Lin's buttocks burped all the way, and the tires wobbled as she walked, as if she was drunk by the fuel.

fifth day.

According to the established plan, they finally arrived at the legendary "Red Hair City".

That is the former city of Munich.

Along the way, Yi Lin and the others deliberately avoided the crowded places, so they didn't encounter any trouble.

Taking a step back, even if there is trouble, it is someone else's trouble.

The city of Munich is an ancient city.

In Yi Lin's consistent impression, the so-called city is nothing more than bustling streets, bustling crowds, roads extending in all directions, brightly lit at night, and there will never be a day of deep sleep.

But looking at the city from a distance, "it" gave Yi Lin a different feeling.

If we talk about London, it seems to be shrouded in fog forever, like a shy girl in tulle.

Then the city of Munich is the passionate and unrestrained sister Yu.

The Gothic dome buildings with ancient decoration style have retained their original appearance. Orange, red, blue, roofs of various bright colors, row upon row, layer upon layer.

Looking down from the heights, the roofs of different colors seem to form an abstract oil painting with a unique artistic conception.

A black flag was erected on the roofs of many buildings in the city. The pattern on the flag is a ferocious white skull with dazzling "red hair" like flames fluttering above its head.

These flags seem to declare to the outside world that this is the territory of "red hair".

"Be careful, Joe D. Solomon, known as 'red hair', this man is not simple."

Milion was outside the city, with a rare serious expression, and said to Yi Lin: "On the ranking list of the Tower of War area server, Joe D. Solomon is a rare veteran who actively reveals his name on the list."

Joe D. Solomon?

Yi Lin opened the "World Personal Ranking List" with a blank expression.

I haven't noticed it for a long time, and the list has undergone subtle changes.

Yi Lin's own ranking went from eighty-seventh in the world to the top eighty-fifth in the world.

Turning a page forward in the list, Yi Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw the name "Joe D. Solomon".

World ranking, fifty-eighth!

In terms of overall strength, Joe D. Solomon's ranking was even higher than Yi Lin's!

Although, Yi Lin knew that his time as an apostle was too short, and his progress was too rapid, which caused his apostle level to be far behind the pace of strength improvement. In terms of comprehensive strength ranking, Yi Lin was greatly hindered by the rank of apostle, making Yi Lin suspected of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

but--

Among the hundreds of millions of apostles, those who can rank in the top 100 are all elite fighters, and their strength should not be underestimated.

"The seventh guild in the world, the fifty-eighth in personal strength."

The leaderboard is for reference only, but Yi Lin still raised her spirits and ignited a little.

After pondering for a while, Yi Lin turned her head to Cerberus, who had a constipated face, and asked, "Are you sure that Cecia von Einzbern is still in this city?"

"I can't be sure."

Cerberus replied honestly.

Yi Lin cast her eyes on Gu Tianqing who was silent at the side.

Gu Tianqing spread her hands, squinted her eyes and smiled, and said in a tone of helplessness: "My respected president, you clearly know that my divination is more inclined to divination about the 'direction of things' rather than to use Locate and find someone."

Yi Lin believed it for now.

Around the city of Munich, a tall nailed wire fence was erected, a full five meters high.

This city, in just a few months after the mutation, became a private fortress.

Teams of soldiers in dark green uniforms stood guard and patrolled at the main entrance of the city, with deep defenses.

"Do you want to rush in?"

Griffin lifted the black bag over his shoulder and asked coldly.

"Need not,"

Yi Lin stuffed a "crystal" into the hands of Miriam, Cerberus, and Griffin respectively.

The three of them were dumbfounded.

"Gu Tianqing, come in with me. From your appearance, you can tell that you are locals, and the target is too conspicuous."

Hearing this, Griffin and Cerberus tilted their heads and made a question mark.

They subconsciously felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Yi Lin's words.

Isn't it because he and Gu Tianqing have two standard faces of oriental people that they are more eye-catching?

Yi Lin greeted Gu Tianqing, patted her, straightened her slightly wrinkled suit, and walked straight to the door.

Gu Tianqing was stunned for a moment, he seemed to understand Yi Lin's plan, smiled helplessly, and followed.

"etc,"

Cerberus had a rare surprised expression on his face. She grabbed the collar of Yilin's suit and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Find someone and ask."

Yi Lin replied naturally.

"By the way, this trick is called, throwing a 'stone' to ask the way."

In the end, Yi Lin made a vivid gesture of throwing something forward, and explained to Milian.
