I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 145 - 136: Foolish Believers, Reed Break

[Great Tides...]

[I think I heard it from the previous elder’s mouth, let me find it...]

[Found it!]

The Sound Transmission Conch conveyed Old Medicine Ding’s voice over.

After listening to Rogel’s inquiry, he seemed to be searching for something, and finally found the record book about the Great Tides.

[Oh, which mischievous kid scribbled all over it, making me so angry!]

[This Great Tide seems to be...]

[Originating from an unknown force outside the Five Major Seas, carrying natural disasters, and causing terrifying impacts on the life within the Five Major Seas...]

[The last Great Tide was... over eight hundred years ago...]

Old Medicine Ding spoke more and more gravely.

[According to the records of the previous elder, for a long period after the last Great Tide occurred, all the clansmen who left on the day of emergence never returned, meeting unfortunate fates.]

[Moreover, each Great Tide also brings monsters with strong power, which seem to come from extreme environments outside the Five Major Seas...]

[If humans among you have already foreseen the arrival of the next Great Tide, you’d better prepare early.]

[If it’s really impossible, come to the Purification Rift to take refuge.]

Finally, Old Medicine Ding’s voice carried some worry.

Unknown forces, natural disasters, powerful monsters...

Indeed, it’s a big event.

Rogel took a deep breath and rubbed his brow.

Fortunately, he had been thinking about it and asked Old Medicine Ding, otherwise he would be completely unprepared when the Great Tide arrived.

[Do you have any way to predict the specific time of the next Great Tide’s arrival?]

Rogel replied.

Shortly after sending the voice over, there was new movement on Old Medicine Ding’s side; he was also very concerned about this matter.

[This... I’ll try, maybe there’s a potion that might help.]

[Wait for my news.]

After finishing speaking, the Sound Transmission Conch went silent.

After waiting for a while, Rogel finally put down the Sound Transmission Conch and, while frowning in thought, walked onto the Gelin.

’All aspects of news indicate that the Great Tide is a terrifying disaster akin to a natural calamity...’

’Since that’s the case, I must prepare early...’

’As for the specific timing of the Great Tide... if there’s no news from Old Medicine Ding’s side, then pay attention to the movements of the Mother Goddess Church.’

’These guys are also rooted in the Five Major Seas. If the Great Tide comes, they will definitely have some movement. Judging by their situation, there should still be some time before the Great Tide arrives.’

Rogel habitually prepares for all eventualities.

Currently, it seems that only the internal high-level personnel of the Mother Goddess Church know about the Great Tide.

After all, even people like Hound, who mingle in the extraordinary circles and are well-informed, don’t know about this matter.

’Storing food, enhancing strength, all these need to be done together...’

Rogel even had an impulse to farm in the Cave space.

But this is not realistic, not to mention having a suitable place for planting; the weather in the Cave space alone is enough to deter most crops.

At most, he can store some food with a long shelf life.

’I hope there’s still something to eat by then...’

Rogel thought darkly.

...

Three days later.

Finally forging a piece of Armor, Rogel’s Blacksmith Level reached Lv6.

He also completed his trade with Hound.

After crafting a Green Warrior Potion for him, Rogel began to inventory his gains.

As for whether Hound can successfully drink it or if his attributes meet the standard, that’s not his concern; these are not within the trade scope.

From Hound, Rogel obtained three Extraordinary Magic Potion Recipes, four Potion Recipes, four Equipment Blueprints, and two Combat Skill Secret Scrolls.

Among the three Extraordinary Magic Potions, two were no different from the previous Watcher recipes, quite poor, and could only be used to enrich Rogel’s Alchemist experience.

The only useful one was the "Foolish Believers" Magic Potion Recipe.

After skimming through the crafting information, Rogel didn’t pay much attention; nothing special, he could create it.

The next information is worth mentioning.

[Mysticism Lv5 and Pharmacy Lv4 provided you with some additional information.]

["Foolish Believers" is an ancient Magic Potion Recipe, different from the Church’s believers of deities; they believe in non-spiritual entities, strong Extraordinary Creatures, and can also obtain powerful strength.]

["Sometimes, you have to be a foolish believer to stay clear-headed."]

"Hiss..."

Rogel was inspired, taking a cold breath.

The information given this time is quite thought-provoking!

He previously had a mindset error, subconsciously believing Faith must mean faith in deities, and having faith in deities inevitably leads to losing oneself. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Therefore, for a long time, Rogel wanted to clear out all ten Faith Values and exchange them for other attributes.

But now it seems there might be a way to freeload the power of Prayer without being brainwashed and controlled by deities?

"Non-spiritual entities, powerful Extraordinary Creatures..."

Rogel squinted his eyes.

Perhaps, Faith is not a brainwashing poison?

However, Rogel can’t confirm this now, so he can only note it down for future attempts.

Next are four Potion Recipes.

Namely, White Rose, Night Demon, Wandering Spirit, and Honest Child.

White Rose can restore a small amount of Life Value but accumulates toxins.

Night Demon can increase nighttime damage but causes dizziness during the day after use.

Wandering Spirit Potion provides short-term immunity to physical damage but causes a series of nightmares at night.

Honest Child Potion can make those with Spiritual Value lower than one’s own tell the truth.

But this thing isn’t for others to drink; it must be drunk by oneself to gain this ability!

And the most damnable thing is its side effect: a significant reduction in the drinker’s Spiritual Value.

Rogel was fed up.

No wonder the person giving this Potion only wanted Gold Coins; with such a sham Potion, even a dog would stand up to brew you a new bottle.

Furthermore, Rogel’s current Pharmacy Level is not enough, so he can only brew the White Rose Potion.

However, overall, the harvest is still quite good.

Finally, he has a Blood Bottle to use!

As for the four Equipment Blueprints, two are relatively low-level and can only be used for experience.

Among the remaining ones, although one is good, Rogel can’t forge it at the moment; it’s an Extraordinary Equipment Blueprint.

The last Blueprint is for a Flail Weapon, which looks good, but neither Rogel, Lina, nor Yas uses this kind of weapon.

In short, the harvest from the Blueprints is somewhat unsatisfactory.

Finally, there’s an unexpected joy—two Combat Skill Secret Scrolls.

[Giant Bear Secret Scroll]

[Type: Book]

[Usage Requirements: Fighting Lv5, Body 8.]

[Effect: After reading and learning from this book, you have a probability of acquiring the Fighting Skill - Giant Bear Combo Lv1.]

[Explanation: It comes from an ancient Warrior Faction.]

Then there’s the second Combat Skill.

[Reed Break]

[Type: Book]

[Usage Requirements: Swordsmanship Lv5, Body 6]

[Effect: After reading and learning from this book, you will have a probability of acquiring the Swordsmanship Skill - Reed Break Lv1.]

[Explanation: A lone Swordsman once cut down heroes in the land of reeds. To kill faster, he specially created this move and named it "Reed Break."]

These two Combat Skill Secret Scrolls are damn great!

Rogel can only say this.

Especially the "Reed Break" skill, tailored for Rogel.

How do you know I’ve recently been learning swordsmanship?

As for the Giant Bear Combo above, it can be used by Yas.
