I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 337 - 219: Demigod Embers, the Watcher (Double-Length)
In the process of releasing these captive souls, Rogel was also searching for treasures in the cells.
However, to his disappointment, although there were quite a few souls, there wasn’t any treasure that stood out.
Rogel quickly arrived at the floor where Maureen was previously while continuously climbing the stairs.
When Rogel opened the cell door, as expected, the soul of Maureen the Blood Race began to slowly dissipate just like the previous souls.
[Thank you...]
But its voice carried a sense of relief and ease.
Presumably, for it, even the complete dissipation of its soul, the final death, was more freeing than being imprisoned.
Speaking of which, the Blood Race Living Eye that Maureen gave to Rogel indeed helped him a lot.
If not for this sacrificial item, he would likely have had to attempt many times to defeat the Eternal Binding Demon.
Now that Rogel had released him from captivity, it could be considered that he had repaid his aid.
After watching Maureen’s soul completely disappear, Rogel continued upward.
Before long, he collected the items from the two special cells.
[You have obtained: Wizard Robe x1.] 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
[You have obtained: Wizard’s Codex x1.]
[You have obtained: Diary of the Desperate Prayer x1.]
The first two items were from the same cell, most likely imprisoning a high-tier Wizard in that special cell.
The Wizard Robe was useless; Rogel glanced at it uninterestedly as it had strong negative effects that would affect the spirit.
As for the [Diary of the Desperate Prayer], it was quite intriguing.
Based on the game information, it wasn’t hard to deduce that a Believer was held in that cell.
After being imprisoned, he tried to pray to the deity he had faith in, seeking aid to save himself.
However, he found that in the cell, not only could all secret techniques not be used, but even his prayers were of no use.
"Could it be that the Black Fog Area has a shielding function against faith and such?"
Rogel pondered.
But he did not dwell on it, instead focusing his attention on the last item.
[Wizard’s Codex]
[Type: Book]
[Reading Requirement: Extraordinary tier and above, Linguistics lv5, Spiritual Value 30.]
[Effect: After reading this book, you will understand much information about "Wizards."]
[Explanation: If the Extraordinary are about exploring oneself and the Believers seek external strength, then the Wizard group greedily wishes to have both, making them very unpopular and often creating very strange things or creatures during their explorations.]
For Rogel, the difference between the Extraordinary and the Believers lies in the source of the power both use.
It indeed is the difference between exploring oneself and seeking external things.
What does the Wizards’ "having both" mean?
He could understand cultivating both spirit and faith, but how to combine exploring oneself and seeking external things?
This made Rogel want to open the book and examine its contents immediately.
However, after giving it some thought, he put it into his bag.
He still didn’t know what Yudona outside intended to do; he had to explore behind the hall before they entered.
Thinking of this, Rogel quickly moved forward, and after returning to the Cave, he saved the game and proceeded once more.
He activated auto-exploration again to save time.
[You proceed through the passageway in the hall.]
[After walking through the passageway, you find a corridor shrouded in black smoke.]
[After cautiously walking through this corridor, you enter a large building where the overall view is unclear.]
[After entering the building, the black smoke dissipated; the scene before you left you quite shocked.]
[The ground was littered with Guardian remnants and statue remnants, the destroyed buildings all indicating one thing, that a very intense war had once occurred here.]
[In the center of the ruins, a damaged black stone statue bowed its head, but one hand was raised high, seemingly celebrating its victory.]
[Although you don’t know what happened before your eyes, it has nothing to do with you, and you begin to search cautiously.]
[However, after a considerable amount of busy work, you haven’t gained even a bit of harvest.]
This made Rogel feel somewhat surprised.
It seemed like these living statues were fighting with these Guardians?
Strange, aren’t they all monsters from the Lava Rock Prison? Why were they fighting?
[With doubts, you continue to search, and even though you have not obtained treasures, you seek to find some clue about the war.]
[Unfortunately, you still have no gains, monsters as well as humans aren’t likely to be writing diaries during battles, are they?]
"... That’s quite logical."
Rogel muttered a complaint, indeed, since the two sides were engaged in mutual slaughter, it indeed was not likely they left any diaries behind.
Even if there was any etching or the like, it’s likely destroyed during the battle.
[After finding nothing, you begin to explore roads to continue progressing.]
[Fortunately, you discovered a spiral staircase leading upward.]
[You cautiously advance along the staircase, encountering many statue remnants along the way, and these remnants resemble the Prison Living Statues you saw before the prison, but they are clearly stronger.]
[Upon reaching the end of the staircase, you enter a vast open area.]
[You continue forward.]
[After a while, within your vision limited by the black smoke, appeared a massive statue ankle, or perhaps it should be called a "hoof."]
Seeing this, Rogel was momentarily stunned, then he recalled, before the black smoke shrouded the entire Lava Rock Prison, there was a giant minotaur statue here, with snakes entwined around it.
