I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 167 - 149: Tip of the Iceberg (2)
[This is a conglomerate of an entire sea serpent race's souls, all of which are already incomplete.]
After Rogel glanced at the information about the soul conglomerate, his eyes lit up.
Disassembling it can yield many residual spirits!
However...
These should all be the sea serpent souls that died in rituals... It feels a bit strange.
Though Rogel doesn't have any special feelings toward sea serpents, he didn't have much emotion about it either, so he decisively disassembled it.
[You found Warrior's Residual Spirit (Blue) ×1.]
[You found Traveler's Residual Spirit (Blue) ×1.]
[You found Warrior's Residual Spirit (Green) ×2.]
[You found Traveler's Residual Spirit (Green) ×2.]
[You found Elite Warrior's Residual Spirit ×1.]
[You found Elder Traveler's Residual Spirit ×1.]
Light!
All light!
A series of lights almost blinded Rogel.
He found it hard to believe.
So many residual spirits? How many levels can my skills be upgraded?
Rogel's mouth couldn't help but turn upwards in a smile.
He wondered why he hadn't seen any sign of a Treasure Chest along the way, and it turned out that, besides the Magic Ship Rudder, there was such a big surprise waiting for him.
Comforting!
While Rogel was putting away the residual spirits one by one, he also glanced at the two special residual spirits at the back.
Their function is to upgrade skills below level five by three levels at once.
[Secret Statue—Revived beneath the statue.]
"This new cave is quite different, much more generous than the previous stingy caves."
Rogel expressed with appreciation.
The previous cave rewards were very scattered, giving only a little of each thing.
But this new cave gave Rogel the feeling that it would either give nothing or give a lot at once.
"Let's carefully search this layer again, and then go back to upgrade."
Rogel decided to wrap things up.
Under his instruction, Deep Sea Blood Touch began to carefully search this layer.
Of course, he didn't hold much hope of finding hidden items.
It was purely out of habit, thinking that now Deep Sea Blood Touch wasn't useful anyway, so he decided to let it search casually and see if there could be any unexpected finds.
But soon, reality told him that this was a very good habit.
[During the search, you discovered a basement buried in rubble at a corner.]
Rogel was originally about to leave when this piece of information popped up, surprising him.
This made his eyes light up.
[There is a small scale groove at the entrance of the basement, seemingly requiring a corresponding item to enter.]
After thinking for a moment, Rogel took out the Little Snake's Relic Scale from before.
It was almost a given that it would be used here.
[You placed the Little Snake's Relic Scale into the groove, and following a sound, the basement opened up.]
[The basement is quite simple, containing only a small table with a peculiar snake shedding on it.]
[You found Praying Snake Shedding ×1.]
Prayer?
The moment Rogel saw this word, he frowned.
He particularly disliked things related to Faith.
But based on the principle of not leaving empty-handed, he intended to take it anyway.
[You touched the snake shedding.]
[A mysterious power residing within it infused into your body.]
[Under the guidance of the mysterious power, Deep Sea Blood Touch can now learn the contents on the Praying Snake Shedding!]
"..."
Rogel was shocked upon seeing this.
Deep Sea Blood Touch can also learn prayers?
Then he recalled the bizarre changes that had happened to Purilas' Favored earlier, possibly due to using prayer.
In surprise, Rogel quickly instructed Deep Sea Blood Touch to examine the information on the Praying Snake Shedding.
[Praying Snake Shedding]
[Type: Special Artifact]
[Usage Requirements: Bind with Snake Shedding, Body 10, Spirit 3, Faith 3.]
[Effect: After reading and learning the contents on the snake shedding, you can learn about the history of the Sea Serpent Race, and there is also a probability of acquiring the skills 'Water Formless' and 'Highly Poisonous Fang'.]
[Explanation: The heartfelt effort of the Sea Serpent Race hopes to pass down their legacy even if their bloodline is extinguished, leaving behind a seed.]
"Water Formless? Sounds quite advanced..."
Rogel muttered, sensing the content behind the Praying Snake Shedding through Deep Sea Blood Touch.
Then he made a major discovery.
This discovery came from the historical content of the Sea Serpent Race.
The Praying Snake Shedding records that the Sea Serpent Race is a tribe that believes in the spirits of their ancestors.
And the spirit of their ancestors, to put it simply, is the ancestors of these serpents, imagined by them, existence unknown, but the Sea Serpent Race believes regardless.
The most crucial point is that their ancestral spirit is an entity without spirit.
Of course, this doesn't mean their ancestral spirit turned into an ancestor's.
The Praying Snake Shedding provides a corresponding explanation for the relationship between the faith source and believers.
The faith source refers to the target of belief, for example, the Mother Goddess worshipped by the Mother Goddess Church.
Believers naturally refer to the beings that worship the faith source. Every living being has an innate talent for faith, some outstanding, some mediocre, which can be enhanced through acquired means.
Moreover, the faith source is divided into entities with or without spirit.
A faith source with spirit can be considered a true deity and will establish a hierarchical relationship with its believers.
You provide me with faith, and I give you strength.
Furthermore, the amount of this "giving" is influenced by the entity with spirit.
In other words, when your god is happy, it might give you a piece of juicy meat, and if it's unhappy, you might just get a gnawed bone.
Additionally, an entity with spirit generally favors devout followers.
After all, a faith source with spirit certainly hopes its devout followers grow in number.
