I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 115 - 110: Planning
As the skeletal hand floated, a pile of items appeared before Rogel’s eyes.
[You found Cave Pointer ×1.]
[You found Silver Treasure Chest ×1, it seems it can be opened directly.]
[Congratulations, you have cleared Harmony Cave, you can now use a new feature - Auto Exploration.]
With a thud, the treasure chest fell in front of Rogel.
He originally thought he must defeat the Wraith General to clear the level, but now it seems obtaining the Cave Pointer was sufficient.
Rogel raised an eyebrow and opened the treasure chest.
[You found Sound Listening Pendant ×1.]
[You found Extraordinary Casting Manual ×1.]
[You found Wraith Shield ×1.]
[You found Warrior’s Residual Spirit ×2.]
[You found Traveler’s Residual Spirit ×2.]
There weren’t many items in this Silver Treasure Chest, but they made Rogel’s eyes light up.
Extraordinary Casting Manual?
This is what he wanted the most!
Better than a bunch of impractical gear just collecting dust in storage!
[Sound Listening Pendant]
[Type: Special Artifact]
[Usage Requirements: Spirit 20.]
[Effect: Allows you to understand the general meaning of ancient languages.]
Sound Listening Pendant?
Is this similar in function to the Memory Fish Scale?
No, this seems only to be used to hear ancient languages, while the Memory Fish Scale directly communicates with the mind, making it somewhat stronger.
Moreover, his current spirit isn’t enough for the requirement.
But he can equip it for now, just without triggering its effect.
[Extraordinary Casting Manual]
[Type: Special Artifact]
[Usage Requirements: Spirit 20, Blacksmith Lv10.]
[Effect: Gives the reader basic information about extraordinary weapon casting.]
Indeed, this is it!
Rogel exhaled.
At this stage, his blacksmithing skills only allow him to forge regular gear; he knows nothing about crafting extraordinary equipment.
The Secret Iron Dagger he previously forged isn’t considered extraordinary equipment; it’s more on par with the Raging Torrent Handguard, a top-tier regular gear.
However, his current spiritual attribute is still below the requirement, needing to level up once more.
In comparison, the Wraith Shield seems less important.
[Wraith Shield]
[Type: Equipment · Extraordinary]
[Quality: Purple]
[Defense: 20/10 (Physics/Magic)]
[Special Effect: When damage blocked reaches a certain amount, triggers "Hand of the Wraith" upon next attack received, greatly reducing enemy attack damage and potentially controlling them briefly.]
[Negative Effect: Wearer’s faith limit -3 while equipped with Wraith Shield.]
[Explanation: The soul abandoned by death can no longer find itself, and naturally cannot have faith in others.]
The attributes are decent, the negative effect isn’t significant for Rogel, but he doesn’t fancy using shields.
For now, it’ll be stored in the warehouse; it might come in handy later.
After acquiring the chest, Rogel bid farewell to the Wraith General and used the Key to leave the cave.
The Wraith General remained sitting silently on the Wraith Cultivation Platform.
...
Back on the Gelin, Rogel took out a pile of Residual Spirits, preparing to enhance his skills.
Including the previously collected Residual Spirits, Rogel had accumulated quite a sum now.
There were six Warrior’s Residual Spirits and three Traveler’s Residual Spirits.
After thinking it over, Rogel took out four Warrior’s Residual Spirits, intending to apply them to Knowledge Comprehension.
Yet after a moment, he kept back two.
[Knowledge Comprehension Lv1→Knowledge Comprehension Lv3.]
"Better save four."
Rogel pondered for a moment, recalling something.
Now that the cave had been fully explored, Warrior’s Residual Spirits and Traveler’s Residual Spirits are no longer obtainable. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
And the Extraordinary Casting Manual isn’t within his current usage requirements.
Knowledge Comprehension might boost the learning progress of this manual and swordsmanship, so it needs enhancement.
An additional issue is...
"Bali Island, Magic Potion."
Rogel murmured, taking out the Navigation Map.
He had read a travelogue in the library of Kaiya Castle, describing "round and plump" and "potion."
Rogel’s current most desired skill is Magic Potion.
Mastering Magic Potion might allow him to brew Extraordinary Magic Potions for his crew.
Perhaps around Bali Island, there would be clues concerning Magic Potion.
This remains a long shot, considering not only the uncertainty of finding such a place but also the questionable authenticity of the travelogue.
Nonetheless, it’s worth a try since Deep Sea Blood Touch would otherwise idle aimlessly, better to let it search around.
If the Magic Potion skill’s clues are indeed found, Knowledge Comprehension and Warrior’s Residual Spirit would be essential.
Therefore, saving four is necessary.
"Bali Island is just after the next island."
Rogel confirmed Bali Island’s location after glancing at the Navigation Map.
If that’s the case, they might need a stay on Bali Island.
Next, Rogel took out two Cave Pointers.
These two Cave Pointers had distinctly different styles, one with land and rock patterns, another with waves and surges.
Clearly, they point respectively to a Land Cave and an Underwater Cave.
However, what troubled Rogel was that the two Cave Pointers currently pointed in opposite directions, one forward, one backward.
"Seems like we can only search for the Underwater Cave first."
Rogel felt a bit helpless.
The Underwater Cave pointer’s direction wasn’t too far off their route.
They also needed to head to Giant Claw City, on Giant Claw Island, to look for Lina’s parents.
This is akin to finding a needle in a haystack, yet they must undertake the task.
"First stop is Bali Island, then to Giant Claw Island, finally locating the Underwater Cave."
Rogel outlined the forthcoming route.
This symbolized the tasks he had to undertake in the near future.
"For now though..."
"Let’s start with some blacksmithing."
"Then learn swordsmanship from the Wraith General."
The journey to Bali Island would take at least a week; Rogel couldn’t just idle during this time.
The Extraordinary Casting Manual required level ten blacksmithing skills, a long way to go for him.
Therefore, plenty of tasks remained for him.
The Wraith General had already asked him to recover fully before training.
This wouldn’t take much time.
Thanks to Rogel’s current character physique in the game, it would take just a day or two for a full recovery.
Clang, clang...
The clear sounds reverberated in the casting room.
Rogel was focused on hammering.
Then suddenly, the door of the casting room swung open, a tall figure stepped in.
"Yas?"
Rogel temporarily set aside his work, a bit surprised.
At that moment, he had activated True Perspective.
"Is something up?"
"Captain Rogel, could I learn blacksmithing from you?" Yas was straightforward about his intention.
Rogel paused at his words, then a smile spread across his face.
"Of course, you can."
"You’re interested in blacksmithing?"
Yas nodded.
He indeed had that interest, moreover, he had thought of learning to help Rogel out.
After all, his savings were dwindling due to the Crimson Fruit incident.
As long as Mira’s curse remained, this condition would persist.
Though Rogel promised to seek solutions, telling him not to worry, Yas felt he shouldn’t just wait passively.
Thus, he thought of learning blacksmithing skills to assist Rogel.
"Come on, I’ll teach you."
Rogel nodded.
Yas had strong hands, clearly suited for blacksmithing.
