I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 163 - 148: Doctor Pupa_3
Rogel put down Yuelin's diary and sighed.
Yuelin was a pitiful man, toyed with by fate.
An accident cast him into the abyss, and the torment of evildoers nearly robbed him of the will to live.
But he was also someone who deserved his fate.
Using the goodwill of others as bait, he turned it into capital for his ascension to the extraordinary.
All of this seemed so sad and yet laughable.
There are some tragedies in this world that even reloading cannot salvage.
"Doctor Pupa..."
Rogel murmured, silently committing this name to memory.
"It seems that those who use alternative paths to ascend to the extraordinary are not few."
Rogel thought to himself.
"Let's go, we should leave now."
Rogel said.
Before leaving, he glanced at the puppets in this grand room.
Inside them were trapped innocent and kind souls, one after another.
Their suffering might not vanish with Yuelin's death...
...
After last night's heavy rain, the weather turned sunny again.
The sea breeze was clear and warm, refreshing and seemingly able to blow away the gloom.
The Gelin began a new round of busy activities.
With the addition of new crew members, the ship was teeming with life.
Noemi was indeed a former bounty hunter, but whether she was formidable, Rogel didn't know.
She picked up her gear and bag, officially boarding the Gelin.
"Wow, a moving skeleton! Incredible!"
Noemi looked at the Bone Spirit in surprise, curiously placing a finger in its hollow eye socket.
"There's actually no temperature."
Noemi touched the Soul Flame of the Bone Spirit,
for some reason, looking at its bony arm, she had an inexplicable urge to bite it.
Meanwhile, Rogel was sitting in a chair, flipping through the Artisan's Notes in his hand.
He found this in Yuelin's old lair.
Most of Yuelin's collection consisted of grotesque and bizarre items.
Things like insect breeding chambers, filthy pools, puppet parts, all of which were abnormal and mostly useless.
Those who transplanted organs from extraordinary creatures had their habits influenced as well.
But, after all, this guy was a quasi-extraordinary, so he had some gains.
Like some money and this Artisan's Notes.
Yuelin seemed to need artisan skills to make puppets.
Of course, it might also be to make the puppets look prettier?
[Artisan's Notes]
[Type: Book]
[Effect: After reading and studying this book, there is a probability of obtaining the skill—Artisan Lv1 (if the skill is already possessed, skill experience will be gained to enhance the level)]
[Extraordinary Traits and Tools]
[Type: Book]
[Usage Requirements: Artisan Lv8, Mysticism Lv3, Spirit 6.]
[Effect: After reading and studying this book, there is a probability of gaining partial knowledge related to artisan (extraordinary) lv1.]
"Might some extraordinary professions require certain related skills?"
"Or is it only in alternative path promotions that such situations arise?"
Rogel pondered.
The presence of these items in Yuelin's old lair indicated that he also needed related skills.
"I'll look into it later if there's a chance."
Rogel put these two books away.
At this current stage, artisan skills were not absolutely necessary for him, and he didn't have the energy to learn them.
What was most important to him now was to quickly improve his strength and that of his crew to face the upcoming great tide.
Now that blacksmithing skills had advanced to the extraordinary, and they were about to set sail again, Rogel intended to first check on the metamorphosis status of the Deep Sea Blood Touch.
Recently, he'd been busy learning, and the metamorphosis of the Deep Sea Blood Touch had naturally been completed.
[Metamorphosis of Deep Sea Blood Touch is complete.]
[Through devouring the flesh of the Gatekeeper Stone Fish, the defensive strength of Deep Sea Blood Touch has been enhanced, reducing the water pressure's impact on its movement.]
Rogel reviewed the current information on the Deep Sea Blood Touch.
[Deep Sea Blood Touch]
[Type: Monster]
[Quality: Boss]
[Level: 18] 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
[Tier: Extraordinary]
[Skills: Dark Concealment lv5, Ice Spike lv5, Ultimate Breathless Touch lv3.]
[Talent: Metamorphosis, Blood Sucking Skin.]
[Explanation: After absorbing the skin flakes of a mysterious creature, the Deep Sea Blood Touch has become a new species. What it will eventually become is still unknown.]
After killing the Gatekeeper Stone Fish, the level of Deep Sea Blood Touch increased by one and is now level eighteen.
Moreover, after metamorphosis, its injuries were completely healed.
In terms of appearance, there were also new changes.
Firstly, its size became even more colossal, now over four meters, a veritable sea monster.
Next is the change in its shell.
After several metamorphoses, the shell of the Deep Sea Blood Touch had turned black-brown by now, though these shells only protected key areas, the rest being a pale red blood-sucking skin.
And the giant claws and bone blade on either side had turned completely black, heavy and substantial, yet still sharp and nimble.
Now, with the escort of such a sea monster like the Deep Sea Blood Touch, the Gelin needn't fear pirates.
Any ship that came near would be sunk instantly.
...
The Gelin once again set out on its journey.
This time, their mission was to find the location of the Land Cave.
Rogel checked the pointer, and after consulting the navigation map, he concluded they might have to head to the Royal City Sea Area, the Sea of Sin, or the Harmony Sea Area, but where exactly was still uncertain.
The voyage was undoubtedly going to be long.
"When passing through the Royal City Sea Area, we must proceed with caution; the Mother Goddess Church's influence is at its strongest there."
Rogel thought to himself.
As his old nemesis, he had naturally learned what was necessary about the Mother Goddess Church.
