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

Bai Yu stared blankly at the ceiling above his head, not knowing what he was thinking, with a dazed expression.

Ye Yiyi gently let go of Alice, sat down beside the bed, and looked down at the crystals on Bai Yu's body.

"Will it hurt?"

He gently stroked the crystal on the right half of the female knight's face and asked softly.

“It doesn’t hurt…”

The female knight regained some of her vitality, turned her pale face, looked at him with her only remaining eye, and her lips, which were dry and cracked, trembled slightly.

"One by one... Am I really that useless? So fragile..."

“People are not objects. They cannot be described as having usefulness or not.”

Ye Yiyi shook his head and said:

"You are the best knight, loyal, humble, and honest. You sacrificed your life to avoid unnecessary casualties. You deserve all the good qualities.

"...It's just that the enemy we faced was beyond our expectations. That shouldn't be your battlefield, but mine."

Ye Yiyi smiled gently and reached out to wipe away the saliva that unconsciously flowed from the corner of the girl's mouth.

"Besides, it's not ten thousand years ago now. The days of sending off the dying are over. No one deserves to die, except our enemies... I will save you. Don't worry, we will fight side by side again."

Bai Yu opened his mouth, but the corners of his lips trembled so much that he couldn't speak.

Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, ran down her cheeks and wet the pillowcase.

"What do you want to say?"

Ye Yiyi looked at her trembling lips and put his ear close to the female knight's mouth.

“One… one… it hurts so much…”

The female knight's choked and hoarse voice reached his ears, and Ye Yiyi was suddenly stunned.

pain?

Yes, being eroded by the curse and turning the body into crystal, how can it not hurt?

"Bear with it, just bear with it a little longer, it won't hurt soon." He wiped the tears from the female knight's cheeks and comforted her softly.

"Nivea!"

He turned his head and looked at the goblin and shouted.

Nivea flew over with a raised eyebrow and gave Ye Yiyi a fairy flying kick on the forehead!

"Hmph! Nivea is about to get down to business!"

She huffed angrily and called out to the goblins to come out from under the bed.

"Everyone, please go out and wait!"

Ye Yiyi covered his forehead with his hands, looked puzzled as he walked out of the door, and turned to look at Alice who was trying to hold back her laughter.

"What happened to that little thing?"

"Alice doesn't know."

The girl said, imitating the goblin's tone, and knocked his metal forehead with her bandaged hand, turning and walking towards the corridor.

"I will remain in the temple until the blacksmith makes a replacement arm... When you're done with your work outside, come find me."

"Uh... ok."

Watching the girl's back disappear behind a door, Ye Yiyi touched the place where the girl hit him, and turned to look at the old blacksmith who was leaning against the fence and rolling his eyes at him.

"What are you looking at?

"I thought you were going to have a huge argument."

The old blacksmith shook his head and said, "But now it smells like the sour stench of love. Have you reached a consensus?"

"That's about right." Ye Yiyi sighed slightly, "Alice is a very opinionated person. I can only choose to respect her wishes."

"She is no ordinary person. How can she be an ordinary person if she can be with the king?"

Ye Yiyi pursed her lips and changed the subject, "Alice's arm..."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it... Oh, and give me some bloody rubber. I'll use Andrew's techniques to make her a new one."

“Andrew’s skills?”

Andrew was the name of the master craftsman he had found, and his skills...

Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows, thinking of those slender figures with beautiful body curves.

As for the blood-minced rubber, it is naturally the material used on the surface of the slender human body. It feels very elastic and can be said to have an extremely obscene feel.

"Ah this..." He opened his mouth.

Thinking about it this way, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with getting a prosthetic hand?

"Look at that look in your eyes..." the old blacksmith spat, "You can't imagine how good it would be just thinking about it, right?"

"I found the Yanjin Hall in the Dragon Palace, and there is the Yanjin Gold inside." Ye Yiyi changed the subject rudely and abruptly.

"Have you found the Gold of Progress?!"

The old blacksmith widened his eyes in disbelief and stood up straight.

This shows that the old blacksmith is a rough person.

"Yes, but don't react so strongly. I want to ask what's going on with the Dragon of Derivation? How can we solve it?"

"The Dragon of Evolution?" The old blacksmith was a little confused. "What is that?"

Ye Yiyi explained it briefly, and the old blacksmith frowned, seeming to be lost in thought.

"According to what you said, that evolved gold... must have reacted with the intelligent metal in some way, causing it to parasitize the dragon..."

"parasitic?"

Ye Yiyi was a little confused. "Isn't the gold of evolution... the metal of wisdom?"

"Who told you this?"

The old blacksmith pondered and said, "Evolved Gold isn't a metal, but a strange concept... But I don't know much about it, I only know that it can make things evolve..."

"Evolution..." Ye Yiyi chewed on the word, and suddenly realized, "You just said parasitism, could it be that thing is alive?"

"I can't say for sure." The old blacksmith shook his head, "I can't draw any conclusions before I see the real thing.

"As for the King's Workshop in the Winter Gate Dragon Battlefield you mentioned, I do know a little bit about it. It's the King's Workshop that serves the Universal Light Master. The storage boxes produced there are very famous. I guess Yukuza wants you to use that to store the Gold of Evolution."

"Shelter?" Ye Yiyi thought to himself, isn't this a bit too broad?

"A containment box, also known as a black box, utilizes a variety of high-level cosmic techniques and is made of a unique metal. It can completely isolate everything inside and outside, and is generally used to store dangerous items."

The old blacksmith waved his hand and explained.

"Anyway, the key is with you. It doesn't matter even if you can't contain the Yanjin Gold. You can just come back to get it later. No matter what it is, it can't escape, and those cursed things outside can't get in."

"understood."

"It doesn't matter if that thing is hard to get, but you have to bring me all the wisdom metal. With that, I can make you some good things!"

"it is good!"

Ye Yiyi nodded slightly. He looked back at the closed door, sighed slightly, said goodbye to the old blacksmith, and turned to walk out of the corridor.

Passing by Brother Dejected, he hesitated slightly and did not say anything. He just nodded to the gloomy man and then walked down the stairs calmly.

Brother Huixin looked up at Ye Yiyi's back, lowered his head silently, and his eyes gradually became silent.

"There's no way to win...ah..."

Amidst the sigh of discouraged brother, Ye Yiyi found the saint.

"Hero-sama."

Seeing Ye Yiyi coming, the saint stood up in front of the statue of the Heavenly Forger in the worship hall and bowed slightly to him.

"Bai Yu and Alice, thank you for your help." He stretched out his hand, and the saint naturally took it.

"Please don't worry, hero, they will recover safely."

"I hope so."

Ye Yiyi sighed and summoned the light curtain, choosing to upgrade the attributes.

With 210,000 responses, it should be able to reach level 4 or 5, right?

Chapter 324 [Screaming Howling Thorn] and [Cruiser's Driving Core]

A total of 212402 soul echoes were converted into 4 attribute points by the Saint.

This number is a bit low, far from the previous situation of upgrading 8 or 9 levels at a time.

But considering that his level has exceeded 90, each level up now requires the soul of half of the Sanctuary, which is reasonable.

As usual, you upgrade your mage character first, but the distribution of attribute points has changed due to the newly acquired magic.

Ye Yiyi had previously obtained the [Scroll of Fantasy World], which contained two low-intelligence magic spells requiring less than 20 intelligence.

One of them is [Coloring], which is extremely functional and practical. Ye Yiyi defeated Yukuza with it.

As for the other one, it is [Dream Traveler] who has both intelligence and mystery requirements of 17.

According to the item description, this magic can temporarily transform Ye Yiyi into a nightmare, allowing her to slip into dreams and wandering thoughts.

This magic does not exist in the game, so he is not clear about the specific usage environment and effects of this magic.

But considering the practicality of coloring, he decided to add two points of mystery to test the effect of this magic.

Level 90 → 94↑

Concentration 24→26↑

Focus: 381 → 406↑ (211 + 195)

Spell Slots: 18 → 20↑ (7 + 13)

Mysterious 15→17↑ (12+5)

In this way, he gained another concentration characteristic.

Concentration Feature·Concentration (25): The concentration attribute will provide additional damage compensation for all spells and combat skills; moderately increase the upper limit of concentration value (25), and moderately increase the upper limit of spell slots (2).

"This trait is very powerful. It's like casting magic now. Not only does it benefit from intelligence, but it also benefits from the damage of the concentration attribute.

"It's just that the corrected damage provided by 26 episodes is too low. To truly show its power, you need to increase your concentration to 50 or above."

“…but overall it’s pretty good.”

Looking at the Mage's personal panel, Ye Yiyi was very satisfied.

属性每5点是一个坎，25的集中提供了25点专注值，加上20级后每升一级10点蓝条的增长量。

Just by upgrading the concentration by 2 levels, the blue bar increased by 35 points.

Adding on the concentration bonus from the concentration training method, Ye Yiyi's total mana bar now exceeds 400, with 20 vacant spell slots.

"...but the mana bar is too high, and the mana bottle recovery rate can't keep up. It seems I need to find more cursed enemies and get blessing crystals later."

He thought for a moment and began to assign the attributes of the Power.

Level 90 → 94↑

Energy 28→30↑

Faith 15→17↑

In this way, four energy characteristics are obtained.

Energy Characteristics: Invigorated (30): When all energy is consumed, the player will not fall into a coma, but the damage caused will be reduced; the maximum load is increased, the upper limit of energy is moderately increased, and the energy recovery speed is slightly increased;

"Not bad!" Ye Yiyi nodded.

This way, next time you use "bullet time", you won't fall into a coma due to exhaustion of energy.

As for the 2 points of increased faith, with the 3 points of faith bonus from the Priest's Crown, the total faith has reached 20, and most low-level hymns can be used.
