Moonlight felt a little tipsy, and her fingers tapped on the bar table unconsciously: "The Sun Disk Ceremony is a key method for senior King-level to obtain Ace-level soul strength."
"The cost is NZ$9,900 and a Class B mysterious heritage item."
Compared to Grade A which is marketable but priceless, Grade B is the highest grade of mysterious heritage that can be measured in price.
The price of Grade B fluctuates between NZD 4,000 and NZD 6,000, and prices have been on the rise recently.
Class B heritage is very likely to be contaminated or cursed. If you want to purify it, it will cost a lot of money.
Therefore, the investment for a Sun Wheel Ceremony is more than 14,000 New Zealand dollars.
"What about the pass rate?"
Moonlight replied: "About 8%."
"It costs more than 10,000 New Zealand dollars, but the success rate is less than 10%?" Sean blinked.
Moonlight sighed: "It's hard to become an Ace.
"They are the top experts in the industry, and they are the ones who can solve the angel-level crisis on their own..."
Sean had to admit that with his divine roots, he seemed to involuntarily envision the road to improvement in strength as too smooth and simple: "If you want to have top-level strength, even if you have the support for growth, you still need top-level dedication. …”
"How about it?" Moonlight patted Sean on the shoulder, "Are you motivated to make money now?"
Sean was lost in thought.
Now it can be concluded that if he wants to compete with the Judas Ring and save Aaliyah, he has only one way - to become a powerful explorer.
One of the ways to gain Ace-level strength is paved with New Zealand dollars.
"In that case..." Sean's heart was filled with a burning desire to "make money."
"Forget about this for now," Moonlight raised the glass that was filled again by the bartender, "Here's to the captain of our trip to Undercurrent Street, Ms. Katherine Hailey."
"To Katherine Haley."
"With her exquisite acting skills, Queen-level strength and fearless spirit of sacrifice, she frightened away the Phinks, achieved the tactical goal that is only possible at King level and above, and rescued us from a certain death situation... …”
Ding, the glasses collided, and both men were expecting her to wake up soon.
"Second cup, here's to you, my friend..." Moonlight had already learned about Sean's miraculous reversal in the Sulfur Tavern, "You have an extremely smart mind and an extremely strong heart, and with an unimaginable way... With his unique strategy, we defeated an unimaginable enemy and saved our group's lives - and even completed the mission.
"Fuck, Sean, I really belong to you." Unable to restrain her excitement, Moonlight cursed.
Ding! The two drank up their heads.
Sean raised the cup for the third time: "And you, Moonlight 1902, my most loyal friend.
"You ignored your own safety and put yourself into the most dangerous situation. In order to win, you almost lost your life...
"It is precisely because of your actions that I have the inspiration to solve the problem..."
"Here's to you!"
Ding! Moonlight smiled and shook her head, seemingly dissatisfied with her performance, and drank the whole drink in one gulp.
Blowing out the smell of alcohol and remembering the experience of Undercurrent Street, both of them were silent for a moment.
Although the bartender was not involved in their journey, he showed admiration and appreciation after hearing the toast.
Sean pondered for a while and raised his glass again: "To the man who didn't come back - the poker man, Henry."
"To Henry."
"Although he almost killed us, his fate is still pitiable...
"May his lost soul find his way back - God favors the seeker."
"God favors the seeker."
Ding... a light sound. The fourth cup, drink up.
The drunkenness is rising and it feels good.
Under the influence of alcohol, Yueguang walked to the upright piano placed by the wall and began to play passionately.
It is a relaxing improvisational piece of music with a melody that makes people smile inadvertently.
The guests in the tavern seemed to enjoy his playing, and they couldn't stop tapping their fingers and toes.
After Moonlight returned to the bar, Sean asked the question he had been thinking about: "The Explorer has a level system for comprehensive strength. What about soul strength? Is there a similar level?"
After Sean reached the Jack level, he no longer had any contact with knowledge involving the soul and spirituality, so there was still a blind spot in this area of knowledge.
"With the divine root, the use of spiritual essence has become simple and convenient. As a result, the accumulation of basic knowledge has been neglected." Sean reflected, "It is necessary to make up for it later, otherwise you may commit some spiritual rituals that you don't even know. Low-level mistake."
When Sean asked the question, the bartender Steve happened to be standing nearby. Both Moonlight and the bartender laughed, and the pianist said: "Sean, Steve is not only the bartender of this century-old tavern, but also an excellent spiritual practitioner.
"I happened to have a chat with Steve about this before. The soul strength rating agreed upon by the association is really boring, as if it was designed by an accountant!
"But Steve has a great theory, and it's much more interesting to understand soul strength according to his theory."
After saying that, Yueguang made a gesture of invitation. The fishy-eyed Steve took out seven bullet cups of the same size from under the bar with great interest.
"These..." Steve clicked on the empty wine glass, "These are our bodies."
As he spoke, Steve took the kettle next to him and poured a glass of water into the empty glass on the far left, handed it to Sean, and motioned for him to drink it.
Sean drank the tasteless water and looked at the other person questioningly. Steve smiled and said: "What I just saw was the soul of an ordinary person. It has no concentration at all and is as light as water..."
As he spoke, he picked up the second cup and poured the beer: "These are the explorers who are the first to come into contact with meditation and spiritual practice. Their souls have become stronger and 'richer' than ordinary people. However, the concentration is still limited. , they are not yet able to use the spiritual essence, nor do they have the ability to see spiritually."
In the third glass, Steve poured red wine: "Some outstanding Jacks, due to talent or hard work, the concentration of their souls has increased to a higher level. It is no longer a light beer, but has become quite flavorful." of wine…”
Moonlight added: "At this level, you can perform spiritual vision, your spiritual quality will also undergo some changes, and your functions will also show special features due to the improvement of your soul. We both belong to the wine level, but your glass of wine, Higher than my degree..."
Sean probably understood Steve's theory - the strength of the soul is divided according to the concentration of the wine!
The corners of his mouth raised: It is indeed a very fresh and interesting theory.
"Wine above that is..." The amber liquid was poured into the cup, "Mead."
"The soul strength of most Queen-level explorers is mead. They have nerves like steel. Ordinary fright and terror can no longer affect them. The extension and function of the ectoplasm has become further powerful, and it can cover an entire area when spread. As a result of building a building, their functions have become very powerful - when doing what they are good at, their performance is obviously beyond ordinary people, and they even have to suppress and hide it, otherwise they may cause panic to others."
Sean knew that Steve's theory of the soul as a metaphor for wine, while vivid, was not very rigorous.
After listening to his description, Sean felt that he should have been somewhere between wine and richer mead... "Mead?" Sean swallowed, imagining the taste of this non-existent wine, "Listen It tastes delicious right after it goes up..."
When pouring the fifth glass, Moonlight said seriously: "Further up is the strong gin, which has a higher concentration. This is generally the soul strength of the King level, but some powerful Queen levels have also entered this category.
"If they are ectoplasm-dominated explorers, they will become like powerful wizards in ancient legends..."
Sean thought of dream-stealing professor Lehman... He could border on the dreams of angels, wouldn't he be a powerful wizard?
"My functions have become so extraordinary that I can do things that are comparable to gods in the eyes of ordinary people."
"Catherine?" Sean nodded unconsciously.
"That's right." Moonlight agreed.
In front of both of them, the red lone peak wearing a bronze crown appeared in the thick fog...
"Catherine's soul strength has reached the level of gin."
"Next, it's the sixth level..." Steve's expression also became focused and serious. He took out a glass bottle covered with barnacles, corals and seaweed. "This bottle is from a sunken ship at the bottom of the sea." The good things that come up are yours for me to treat..."
He carefully poured this precious bottle of wine into the cup. It was as bright as gold, and it looked like a piece of crystal-yellow jade in the cup...
"Golden tequila..." Steve's eyes were blurry, "Sweet as a summer night's dream, hot as the burning sunset in the sky..."
"Powerful King level, and some Ace level strength."
"Just one glance can shatter a fragile soul, and the soul can fill a city block. The function has entered an incredible realm."
Moonlight made a gesture of invitation, Sean picked up the golden tequila and drank it in one gulp. A stream of heat flowed from his mouth into his stomach, and the fragrant fragrance lingered...
"Good wine." Sean took a sip, obviously getting a little drunker.
"Finally..." Steve took a few steps back, went around to the back of the wine cabinet, and took out a metal box with carved patterns. After opening it, there was a small glass bottle of very ancient shape lying in it.
