Chapter 816: Chapter 653: Soul Vessel: Raven
Scene changes, and Chun enters a passage resembling the void.
Then a small ripple appears ahead——System prompt: Please enter the second layer password.
Intricate!
Once again, entering the space passage, but this time the duration is especially long, lasting a full three minutes!
Holy shit, this teleportation, Chun wonders if he’s already crossed a continent?
Finally, a third spatial gate appears ahead——System prompt: Please enter the third layer password.
Enter!
——System prompt: Your soul has entered the soul artifact core, taking over the mechanical puppet "Raven." Your Grandmaster Mechanician profession and Divine Craftsman Level module combination perfectly merged with mechanical performance, enhancing mechanical performance by 120%. You may re-enter the third layer password to leave the soul artifact core and return your soul, but be sure to do so in a room and ensure the mechanical puppet is in use to avoid intense battles.
——System prompt: Would you like to view the message from Crow Master Svein?
Ah?
Scene changes again, and Chun appears in a small house, with bookshelves all around packed densely with books.
Huh, it looks like an inheritance, but the house has doors and windows, not resembling a secret room at all? Better view the message first.
"Warrior, this involves more secrets, so I can only introduce it to you through a message. This is the Dragon Sleep Divine Hall, a secret organization I served for 60 years after joining. The mission of the organization is roughly about animal protection, rescuing Ancient Gods, and opposing the Empire, or it might be an organization cultivated by the Empire to pretend to be against the Empire, with the purpose of gathering and monitoring those who genuinely oppose the Empire. These are my conjectures and not important; what’s important is that the academic atmosphere here is very good."
"This puppet is a soul vessel, colloquially known as a Witch Demon. This is the most valuable inheritance I gained from serving the Dragon Sleep Divine Hall for many years, intended for my soul to continue existing even after my lifespan ends. But this puppet isn’t perfect, my capturing of demonic puppets was actually to strengthen it. After you take over, you can study within the Dragon Sleep Divine Hall under the identity of Raven, without worrying about relationships, just remember to recharge at home. The books on the bookshelf are from my Storm Druid profession, and you can start learning from the first book at the bottom of the first shelf."
...
Holy shit, it’s really the Dragon Sleep Divine Hall!!
Previously, when thinking about ways to extend Moss’s life, I had considered a Witch Demon. I never thought this thing would actually appear now!
But could this Dragon Sleep Divine Hall be an organization "raised by the Empire to pretend to oppose the Empire"?
If it’s really possible, then when Cui and Xina talked to Wa, they were exposed! And Xina gave Wa Merfolk brand cigarettes, so was the Merfolk also exposed?
If it’s really possible, the consequences would be explosive! Fortunately, I kept a backup, not exposing myself.
In short, I should first see what kind of mechanical being I’ve become.
Chun sees a mirror in the middle of the bookshelf, showing himself in a scholar’s robe, wearing a large cloak, with a mask on his face,
appearing ordinary and mysterious, and quite human, unlike those mechanical beings in the Bronze City.
Chun raises his hand, seeing gloves on them. He faintly hears the sound of mechanical parts meshing in lubrication oil inside his body, maybe it’s because he enhanced mechanical performance, movements are quite smooth.
Chun reaches to remove the mask, revealing a face that looks human, whether it’s silicone or real skin, though the eyes clearly look like glass.
Then checking Raven’s attributes: Attack 1500, Defense 500, Durability 15000, Load 2000, Physical Strength 2000, Mana +10000. Hunger (Energy): 10.
Holy shit! These attributes, at this stage, are undoubtedly Boss-level for a player!
Then looking at the books on the bookshelf, indeed, there’s a heap of "Druid Profession Guidebooks," "Storm Druid Profession Insights," as well as various books on growing plants. Holy shit, there’s even a book like "Divine Tree Essence Extraction Medicine"!
This is indeed a treasure house that ordinary players would dream of for advancing into a hidden profession! Druid itself is a hidden profession, and Storm is the hidden within hidden!
But now all Chun’s wisdom is used on vines, so the learning effect must be poor and he’s completely uninterested in learning; it’s better to take a walk outside, perhaps assisting the China District exploration team in finding the entrance... Wait, no!
Crow Master is wanted in the Five Cities, the situation is so big, what if while using his soul artifact stand-in on the street, a high-ranking leader who knows him asks me a question, how would I answer?
Therefore, dispelling distractions, I must race against time to learn the new profession. The alt account is also almost ready to emerge, it can also share the profession. Right, the alt account——
Chun immediately switches to the alt account side, 99.631% complete!
Estimated to be ready after midnight.
Start reading.
Chun takes the first book from the bottom of the bookshelf, which is a general Druid guide.
Sit down, turn the pages!
——Raven prompt: Would you like to enable automatic reading mode? Also customize the reading sequence list for the books.
It can even auto-read? As expected of a robot, very convenient for players to idle!
For the list, Chun directly takes out that bottom row of Druid and Storm Druid books for sorting and starts idling.
——System prompt: Your Polymath profession, with Divine Craftsman Rune Skill, greatly enhances your understanding of the Druid profession, you gain reading proficiency.
Oh my!
Even though my wisdom is gone, I still have other bonuses!
Moreover, last time the Polymath profession used Wisdom Transformation once, it required continued reading to keep increasing knowledge. So it’s perfect, this reading also serves to recharge for the Polymath.
Since idling is set, better take a nap to replenish sleep and prepare for the all-nighter.
...
Hell’s 6th layer, Black Dragon Secret Abyss City.
The rumbling of the core engine of the Dragon God Hall echoes throughout the city, with all levels of troops, residents, and merchants all in their positions, the streets are empty.
Uriel, along with the Shoe Angel, Wine Angel, Plague Angel, Pava Landing, and other guild members, gathered at the Dragon God Hall.
The shadow of the Black Dragon God laments: "A thousand years, finally I can challenge again. But this time without support from the Demon God Race, and no all-out war mobilization. Sage, do you think my actions this time are reckless?"
Uriel said: "No, actions of this neither large nor small scale are most appropriate. The great divine and demon battles a thousand years ago were reckless, leading both sides to severe strategic miscalculations and to an utterly unnecessary mutual devastation. This time, I guarantee, the Divine Realm won’t act rashly, only the Golden Divine Throne will make tentative attacks on us, so let’s maintain this mutual testing, then focus on probing the void and collecting those lost Dragon Souls and Demon Souls from a thousand years ago."
After all, this mutual probing is a plan of mutual score gains devised by Uriel and Michael.
The Black Dragon God nodded: "Excellent! I trust your judgment. The time to ascend to the void is fixed at noon 12 o’clock! I want to act at the strongest sunlight to demonstrate my fearless heart."
Uriel agreed: "Exactly, as long as we aren’t afraid, they will be afraid."
