Hero was pulled in front of Mena and held down in place, unable to move.
Not only that, he also felt a pair of invisible hands reaching into his clothes, groping up and down.
hiss!
The subconscious resistance caused a layer of fine cold sweat to form on his back.
He tried to control his body, but ultimately failed.
But Mena in front of him didn't seem to have any intention of harming him, it seemed that he was just trying to verify his doubts.
Hero simply gave up resistance and simply summoned the data panel to see what the reminder that just appeared in the corner of his eye was.
There are still no changes to the functions of the magician on the panel.
On the contrary, there is an extra piece of data on the upper right side of the module system.
[Soul Shards, 12]
When Holo shifted his consciousness to this piece of data, another introduction appeared on the side:
"There are currently no required upgrade modules"
call!
Materials required for module upgrades!
What an unexpected surprise!
The module system in [Interstellar Miner] is more on the technology side, and most modules only have the lowest amplitude bonus effect when dropped.
Different types of modules require different ores to upgrade, and the amount of ores required for each upgrade increases exponentially.
After traveling to this [Magician World], Helo was still worried about the upgrade of the module. He thought about finding some ores to test after he was out of control, but he unexpectedly learned the materials needed for the upgrade.
Judging from the literal meaning, the soul fragments should be the soul power consumed by the sorceress just now after she exerted her extraordinary ability.
It will be much more convenient if you know the source of the upgrade materials.
However, the ratio of the number of soul fragments produced by different powers and consumption must be tested after becoming a magician.
After all, there is no magician here to provide him with experimental data.
At this time, Mena, who had checked and found nothing unusual, slapped Holo on the shoulder, and a burning pain instantly spread across the shoulder.
Mena's expression was no longer as gentle as when he was drinking:
"Where did this child come from? As a baron magician of the empire, I have reason to suspect that you are abducting the child!"
The drinkers in the house seemed to be calmed down by the serious Mena. Fortunately, Green reacted first and hurriedly explained:
"Master Magician, we have never abducted a child. Hero was born in the port, but his parents were swallowed by the deep sea when he was young. We raised him!"
Mena and the others didn't say anything after hearing Green's explanation. Instead, they looked at Green behind the bar with a slightly strange smile.
"You think...we are easy to fool?
In every piece of imperial territory radiated by the Holy Land Tower, there are nobility magicians. They respect the will of the tower, govern and protect the subjects in the corresponding area. However, as an outpost for the expedition to the deep sea... the port, the empire Magicians have never been sent to guard it!
It's not that it can't be done, but it's not worth it. Regardless of us, even normal adults who stay in the port for three months will be contaminated with traces of the deep sea to varying degrees. And this one in front of you... the child who grew up in the port in your mouth , but not even a trace of the deep sea mark was stained.
So...please tell me, who is lying to me? You or him? "
The hand that was originally patting Holo's shoulder was slowly raised to the top of his head.
Mena's malice at this moment seemed to be real, and a certain kind of stress reaction made Hero faintly feel the coming sting.
"And the money for the drinks just now..."
"Huh? The magician is still confused about this?"
No longer under control, Hero asked subconsciously.
Hearing Hero's complaint, Mena suddenly chuckled, and the slightly tense atmosphere in the tavern seemed to relax a little.
"Of course adults should understand and forgive children for their rudeness, but I don't have the habit of forgiving ugly fish-men."
He didn't care who was begging for gold coins just now.
Mena's finger gently touched the forehead of Holo. In an instant, dozens of iron nails appeared on both sides of Holo's face. Each nail was about 20 centimeters long, and the end of the nail was a twisted curve. Turning rune pattern.
In an instant, dozens of runic iron nails shot out.
Hero, who had his back turned to the drinkers, could only hear the sound of 'puff-puff', and the sound of things falling on the wooden board.
In addition, the expected shouting did not appear!
"As expected, you have embraced the deep sea. That should no longer be considered a citizenship recognized by the empire."
Opposite Holo, the four magicians who were originally sitting all stood up alertly at this moment, as if they were facing some big terror, and they seemed to be prepared.
[Soul Shards +200]
Absorbing the remaining soul fragments from Mena's soul-releasing surgery, which was close at hand.
Hero then stretched out his hand, wiped away a blood stain on his cheek, and turned his head to look at Green and the others.
The wind pressure from the rune nails just now caused a thin scar on his face.
The dozen or so drinkers who had gathered together before now only had five people left.
The leader Green's body has changed. Scales so dark and reflective covered all exposed surfaces. Among the others, his injuries looked the most severe and tragic. There were runic iron nails inserted into his face, arms, and chest, and some of them had even been damaged. Completely submerged in the body.
The runes at the exposed ends of the iron nails were still faintly red.
Holo watched as several people pulled out the iron nails, and the blood holes left behind after they were pulled out were bleeding out.
As for the drinkers on the ground, they were really unlucky. The scales on their bodies were not blocked by even a runic iron nail.
However, their bad luck changed Hero's luck for the better.
On the dead bodies, square spots of light appeared one after another.
Module!
Twelve corpses gave birth to twelve modules.
Like the soul fragments, they seemed to be summoned the moment they jumped out of the corpse, and they floated towards Hero.
The crimson square was covered with thick and beating blood vessels, and the bulging fascia wrapped the meat inside. It gave Hero a very twisted and evil feeling. The moment it floated into Hero's body, a series of problems appeared in the system. remind.
【physique】
[Amplitude effect: Constitution +1]
A silvery cold light flashed on the blue square, and an illusory figure was engraved on it. The figure held a sharp weapon in its hand.
【Steel Charge】
[Amplitude effect: melee weapon power +1]
The twelve corpses provided only these two amplitude modules, and Hero kept two of them. The other identical modules could not be directly integrated and upgraded. In desperation, he could only disassemble them.
After the module is decomposed, no other materials are produced, but turned into a cold energy that is integrated into every part of the body.
'Click'
Feeling the comfort brought by the energy, Holo heard the system beep again.
Click on the system.
[Soul Energy] on the data panel has been unlocked.
'What is the soul energy after the module is decomposed? It acts directly on the soul! '
It was an unexpected surprise. I originally thought it was a pity that there would be no materials after decomposition, but now that I have unlocked the soul energy, there are quite a lot of benefits, whether it is the nourishment of the body or the improvement of the five senses, it is very obvious.
