Frenzy Moss Medicine
Intuition tells us that if we want to avoid awkwardness when working together in the future...
It's best not to announce that you've Jia Paer's side right now; wait until the exploration is over.
In the end, everyone laughed it off and brushed You Fei off.
What happened in the following days was obvious: they obtained the latest intelligence about Caelid from Lan Le while preparing the necessary supplies for the exploration, in preparation for their official departure soon.
During this period, besides preparing supplies, I went to Jia Paer to ask for guidance. The progress I made in just a few days can be described as gratifying.
While preparing for important matters, the Skyrim Strategy Team also met with You Fei and others to learn about their personnel.
Besides the classic Fan En siblings, there are two unfamiliar young people with visibly strong physiques, but their eyes are vertical pupils like those of dragons—are they Dragon Blood Warrior? But they seem to have a stronger presence.
Regardless, seeing that her partner was quite capable, Lu Lu Wo felt reassured.
Time flew by and the day of departure finally arrived.
"You Fei and the others have already set off and are waiting for us near the portal. Let's hurry over there too."
As the sun gradually became clearer on the horizon, the Skyrim Strategy Team, who were full of energy after several days of rest, left the house they had lived in for so long and embarked on their journey to the long-awaited Zane Dungeon.
Our primary objective today is to thoroughly explore the Sorcerous Town of Sellia. If there is still time, we will then use the information provided by the adventurers to search for the legendary city that is very likely the home of the Red Lion Legion — Red Lion City.
Information about that city currently exists only in fragments found when people explore maps. As for the possible location of Red Lion City mentioned in the Caelid, it was deduced by adventurers based on the direction from which the Redmane Soldier they could encounter came. If you look closely, you can actually see that some of those soldiers came from the same direction to the adventurers.
It is said that some adventurers have spent an entire day tracking Redmane Soldier in order to find the location of Red Lion City, only to be kicked out of the dungeon before they even found it.
This also reflects just how much boredom adventurers can endure in order to achieve their goals.
"It feels like the city has changed quite a bit since we first arrived," Ta Mi said as she looked around after walking onto the street.
Bei Er Tuo looked at the street and then nodded in agreement.
Although there were many before, there are now even more people dressed as adventurers on the streets. The proportion of adventurers among pedestrians gave him a momentary glimpse back to Bede City.
A lot has happened in the past few days.
First of all, the impact of the Frenzied Flame stream has completely disappeared.
The incident began when a group of adventurers, while exploring the Plague Village, "accidentally" discovered that nearby patients suffering from Frenzied Flame carried "Frenzy Moss Medicine that could counteract the maddening effects of Frenzied Flame.
[Frenzy Moss Medicine]
[Yellow pills made from cave moss can reduce the accumulation and effects of Frenzied Flame.]
[Frenzied Flame can damage a person's spirit. Excessive exposure to Frenzied Flame can lead to madness. While the spirit is in a state of frenzy, life force will also be greatly depleted. It is best to take pills before falling into a predicament.]
However, those exposed to Frenzied Flame often don't have time to take medication.
This prop is enough to treat those outside who only watched the live broadcast. So far, everyone in the city has recovered their health, and some people have even reported that their spirits have been strengthened and they feel stronger. Watching the Frenzied Flame can make you stronger!
But most people aren't so crazy as to go and watch "Frenzied Flame" just for the uncertain possibility of becoming stronger—that's just asking for trouble.
The incident involving the Frenzied Flame came to an end. The adventurers learned the location of the Plague Village and the existence of the Weeping Peninsula, expanding the area available for exploration. From now on, if people encounter the Plague Village while exploring, they will either run away or explore cautiously. At least no one will underestimate such a thing anymore, nor will they actively seek it out.
Wait, is there really no one you don't actively try to reach out to, like some non-human being?
At least from the current public perspective, the world has returned to peace.
Then, the status of Black Rock City changed.
It has become a place similar to a checkpoint.
The Warrior Country and the Arnor Kingdom quickly reached a consensus in the past few days—to conduct strict identity verification for adventurers entering and leaving the Zane Dungeon, and to designate cities near the Zane Dungeon portal as gateway cities, which will be the focus of attention for both countries.
The portals to the Sien Dungeon are located in rather unusual places. Besides remote areas like Bede City, one is in the former Lighthawk Legion's base, which is relatively close to the capital of the Kingdom of Anor, and the other is in Blackrock City, next to the capital of the Warrior Kingdom.
Regardless of which portal it is, the distance from the center of the two countries seems to be roughly the same.
In this situation, if the two countries were to go to war, sending soldiers from here to directly raid the other's capital would be the most convenient option. However, because the two sides are evenly matched and neither is willing to give up the treasure of the Zane Dungeon, a tacit balance has been formed.
At least for now, apart from the fact that adventurers cannot freely enter other countries' territories and can only move around in border cities after obtaining temporary documents, everything else seems fine.
The third noteworthy thing is that the Zane Dungeon area in the Warrior Country is now open 24/7, which is undoubtedly a great benefit for players who like to stay up all night and grind.
Although adventurers from different countries have various differences, they are highly consistent in their understanding of involution.
We must rake in everything, rake in everything of value in the dungeon!
The last thing is
"Teacher, teacher, look, I've finally learned how to convert battle aura into magic power! Your new method is truly amazing!"
"Hehe, don't be complacent, you have to keep learning."
As Lu Lu Wo and her companions passed by a street, they overheard a child excitedly talking to a man dressed as a magician.
"It's Magic Transmission Mentor, a profession unique to the Warrior Country," Aisi, looking in that direction. "However, converting battle aura into magic power, although it mostly only works on people from this country, it is still quite a remarkable achievement."
"I have a rather traditional way of thinking, and using a combination of battle aura and magic is a bit of a shock to my worldview," Mi La said uninterestedly.
The Skyrim Strategy Team only heard about this technique after arriving here. They found it amazing at the time, but unfortunately, this technique is likely to only work on the residents of the Warrior Country, and there is a high probability of failure and hidden dangers. Even with the help of props to reduce the probability of failure, no expert would be willing to use it in actual combat.
Therefore, ordinary people who have little contact with magic or those who are not very strong will choose to use this technology.
However, this situation has been reversed in recent days.
Aide Jia Yuenka, the inventor of the Qi Conversion Technique, awoke from the effects of the Frenzy Moss Medicine Frenzied Flame. As if suddenly enlightened, he proposed several improvements to magic, each of which proved to have considerable practical value and earned Yuenka's praise.
Then, Aide Jia made a very surprising move: he proposed an improvement plan for the Qi conversion technology.
After a large number of urgent experiments, the improved plan was validated.
It really works!
It is possible to reduce the failure rate of the Battle Qi Conversion Technology to the level of the unmodified technology when using the Reform Ring, without using the Reform Ring.
With the improved technology and the Reform Ring, the probability of failure has been minimized, making it a technology with real combat value.
As this technology was applied, Aide Jia's status among his disciples was greatly enhanced, and he enjoyed countless flowers and applause. The Reformists' plan was once again moving towards success!
"If I could, I would like to learn it and give it a try," Ta Mi said after thinking for a moment, "But I would only be using magic as a convenient tool."
"Now that you mention it, I do feel that the people here have a strange confidence in magic. Speaking of which, isn't this the Warrior Country? Why haven't I seen any Weapon Skill instructors?" Lu Lu Wo complained.
However, the group's complaints about the Warrior Country came to an end before they could even begin, because they saw You Fei and the others waiting near the portal.
Criticizing the Warrior Country in front of others would ultimately leave a bad impression, so everyone quickly shut up.
"Have you been waiting long?" Lu Lu Wo stepped forward first to greet them. "Shall we set off now?"
You Fei and her companions all looked over. Fan En, Yi Sha, and two people who were supposedly her apprentices and suspected to be Dragon Blood Warrior, had just returned to the Warrior Country through the Zane Dungeon.
For some reason, Lu Lu Wo always felt that these guys all had an inhuman aura about them.
It's as if they're all monsters in human skin.
Never mind, they're partners anyway. She shook her head and said:
"Let's set off then, to Caelid!"
