This isn't a souls-like game at all.

She looked down at the silver ring inlaid with a pink gem in her hand, then smiled at Nivea.

"Thank you for your well wishes, Nivea."

"Hehe~"

The little goblin who was angry just now suddenly smiled, flew around him and landed on his head.

"Because you are the hero who saved Lilylu, this is the blessing ring I gave to you. You must cherish your life~"

"I will."

He nodded solemnly, then seemed to remember something and asked.

"Is there only one ring like this?"

"Because this blessing is a one-time thing~" Nivea whispered softly, "After the blessing wears off, the hero can come to Nivea to receive the blessing again."

In other words, only one of these rings can exist at a time, right?

"I understand." Ye Yiyi understood.

He continued shopping and, on Nivea's recommendation, bought the [Magic Fishing Rod] which was a gift from Nivea.

Then three goblins came stumbling over from somewhere, holding a yellow iron stick, and knocked down a large patch of flowers along the way, causing the goblins to exclaim in surprise.

"ah!"

"Be careful!"

"Woo, my new house... woo."

Oh no! There's even a crybaby among these little goblins...

Ye Yiyi felt overwhelmed.

I got the fishing rod. From the appearance, it is an iron rod with a brass metal shell. After pressing the metal button on the top, the iron rod will extend itself and become a fishing rod.

The length range is between 3 meters and 9 meters and can be adjusted freely.

"This is the Maharaja's favorite fishing rod."

Nivea proudly introduced it with her hands on her hips: "It took Nivea a lot of effort to bring it out!"

"Lord...Lord of Life and Death?" Ye Yiyi was stunned when he heard this. "Isn't this stealing?"

"No! It was Maharaja's wife who asked Nivea to do this!"

"Madam? His wife? Why?"

"Because every time the Maharaja goes out fishing, it takes about a week. The Maharaja's wife is unhappy, so she asked Nivea to help."

"..."

It turns out that the Lord of Life and Death is also a fisherman.

【Magic Fishing Rod】

Item Description: Multifunctional metal fishing rod,

A gift from the King Dragon to the Lord of Life and Death.

When used with magic bait, it can catch small fish that are no longer than 20 meters.

It has a fatal attraction to arowana.

In the later years of the life of the Lord of Life and Death,

He gazed at the boundless sea,

Accepting the impending fate of death amid the sound of waves.

The description of this item was a bit confusing and Ye Yiyi didn't understand it.

But he guessed that this was related to the fact that the Lord of Life and Death was the second king to be corrupted by the curse.

As for the standard of classifying fish below 20 meters as small fish, Ye Yiyi chose to ignore it.

After all, he wasn't going whale fishing.

The fishing rod is free, but the bait costs Soul Echoes.

After all, this thing is not an automatic fish catcher, and the Lord of Life and Death is not Jiang Taigong. Fishing still requires bait.

50 baits, costing 250 Soul Echoes.

Current Soul Echoes: 52083

But when Ye Yiyi got it and looked at it, he felt dizzy.

It turns out that the prince used metal lures when fishing.

【Magic Bait】

Item Description: Metal fishing bait that looks like a worm.

Need to be used with a fishing rod.

It can emit invisible waves to attract surrounding fish to come and prey on it.

Used alone, it can be used as bait to lure away predators.

Therefore, it is very popular among ocean sports enthusiasts.

"I will grant all fish an equal death! — The same fishing equipment as the Lord of Life and Death has been configured."

After putting away the fishing rod and bait with satisfaction, Ye Yiyi bought two more things that could be used at this stage.

4 pieces of Returning Leaves, the magic [Summon Fairy], and the enchanted gem [Ruyi Lingyu], which add up to a total of 8000 soul echoes.

The former is a return-to-city item. Lilylu gave him one before, and now he has exactly 5.

Then there is a milky white gem that feels warm in your hand.

【Ruyi Lingyu】

Item Description: Milky white jade stone,

Can be found in the places where the goblins live.

Used for qualitative enhancement of armor.

Slightly increases the damage reduction rate for all damage.

And keep the protective gear clean and prevent it from being contaminated by dirt.

The goblins are natural spirits that are not stained by dust.

Under their influence, the spiritual jade is indestructible and has a faint spirituality.

The effect of increasing resistance is only secondary. Ye Yiyi mainly values ​​the function of maintaining cleanliness.

With this, even rolling in a cesspool won’t be a problem.

Magic can help him find traces of goblins in the area.

【Summoning Fairies】

Spell Slots: 1

Skill cost: 10

Requirements: Mystery 5

Item Description: One of the fairy magics possessed by fairies.

Can call out in the language of fairies,

If there are goblins around, you will get a response.

The spirits of nature, the goblins have a secret—

They cast spells through mystery.

Apart from these three necessities, he had nothing else to buy for the time being.

Either they will never be used, or it would be a waste to buy them now as they will never be of any use.

For example, the fairy mint with 1 soul echoes...

This price made Ye Yiyi feel incredible. Is this any different from asking a mouse to sell its stored grain?

"If you find other fairies in the future, hero, please tell them about the existence of the Cursed Hall~"

Nivea whispered to him.

"If that happens, not only will the variety and quantity of goods in the store increase, but the fairies will also be grateful to the hero~"

"I understand. Don't worry."

After a few interactions, Ye Yiyi, who had become familiar with Nivea, touched her forehead and then stood up.

The remaining 44833 soul echoes were transformed into two attribute points by the Saint.

These two points naturally need to be added to the strength.

Level 66 → 68↑

Strength 50→52↑

Current Soul Echoes: 2483

Soul Echoes Required for Upgrade: 22200

After having his current set of armor inlaid with gems by the old blacksmith, Ye Yiyi returned to the holy monument of [Disaster Rift·Upper Level King Craftsman Workshop].

Add [Summon Fairy] to the spell slot, then return to the upper level and find Virgil.

"Next, we'll head to Garden Village and explore the basement of the Archbishop's old residence."

Looking up at the azure eternal moon hanging high in the sky, Ye Yiyi spread out the map and headed towards Huayuan Village.

Follow the road northward, crossing the vast desert below.

When the azure eternal moon sets, the red sun peeks out from the horizon.

Ye Yiyi was on a steep cliff when he saw the vast expanses of farmland in front of him.

"Huayuan Village... This isn't a village at all, right?" Ye Yiyi's mouth twitched.

Chapter 143 Star-Dot Butterfly and Fire Crown Knight

"Garden Village... This isn't even a village, is it?"

Ye Yiyi's mouth twitched, and then he took out a telescope to check.

Garden Village is located on an open basin shaped like an inverted funnel.

If we don’t count the outer city area at the foot of the Royal Capital Mountain, the village before us can be considered a true medieval village.

But in Ye Yiyi's opinion, Huayuan Village does not meet the standards of a village in terms of scale.

Although he had never seen what a real village looked like, he thought there would not be a stone castle, patrolling soldiers, and a complex of buildings surrounding the castle, consisting of wooden sheds, long houses, and two-story houses with a mixed brick and wood structure from the outside to the inside.

"Or are all medieval villages of this size?" He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

According to Alan, Federico is Sir Federico's son.

A knight. Although it is not clear what level of title he holds in the Kingdom of Fire Sparrow Flower, it is likely that his rank is not high.

But even if their rank was not high, nobles were feudal landlords who owned their own territories, armies, slaves, and subjects.

In addition, this place is located on the border between the Kingdom of Fire Sparrow and the Principality of Rit, so it makes sense to have a castle that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

He continued to observe and soon proved his idea.

The castle is located at the bottom of the inverted funnel in the northeast. Going northeast, there is a path that passes through the mountains and leads to the plains in the heart of the kingdom.

It is called a trail, but only compared to the entire funnel-shaped basin.

A winding river flows out from deep in the trail, passes straight through the entire town, then flows southwest through farmland and into the open forest outside the funnel.

Ye Yiyi opened the map and took a look. He found that if he wanted to go to the vast swamp, the best route was to pass through the Garden Village, go north along the river that ran through the Garden Village, cross the Dark River Forest and the Broken Mountains, and then reach the Tongxiao Plain.

Of course, he could also choose not to go this way, but instead take a detour through the forest in the southwest and then head north.
