It's not good to keep relying on Shalan. My idea is that we get your interference emitter as soon as possible, and then go to West Coast in the name of Queen Skadi to prevent casualties among the Adventurers from above, or even for them to become an obstacle to us.
Siate brought a cup of warm water and handed it to him. In his touched gaze, she took it and drank it herself before he could reach for it.
"If you want to drink, go pour it yourself. Looking so sickly, where's the imposing aura of a captain?"
"Cough, cough, it won't happen again. The hardest part is over..."
Ye Lin scratched his head awkwardly. In fact, if it weren't for the third all-night buff Tana gave him before his class change, he might have really collapsed in the latter half of the night when her eyes were bloodshot...
She didn't lie back then, nor was she joking on purpose. After the third, third, and fourth seals were lifted, a total of ten, the surging fanaticism consumed seventy percent of her reason, leaving only thirty percent clarity.
He walked past Siate to pour water, feeling a warm current moisturize his parched heart, and couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.
"Oh, by the way, are the earrings Tana is wearing from you? Celia said they contain incredibly strong magic."
Siate turned slightly, seemingly asking casually, then fiddled with her not-so-long bangs.
Celia and Tana had both advised her to grow her hair long, but she always brushed them off with, "Instead of spending time on my hair, I'd rather swing my sword a few more times."
"Yes, they were given to me by my master. Actually, I've always had a precious gift I wanted to give you, but it's not time yet."
Inheriting Mar's Heaven's Seal, calling him master is quite normal. As for the Mad Dragon's Fury, she'll probably only be able to receive it when she reaches the threshold of an Awakener, otherwise, even with a contract, she wouldn't be able to use it.
But in Siate's ears, these words suddenly took on a different meaning. Thinking of Tana's earrings and her staggering posture, her face instantly flushed, and a hint of anger appeared on her forehead.
"Shameless, beast, keep it for yourself!"
With that, she glared at him fiercely. If it were usual, she would have already pinched him with two fingers.
"I don't use greatswords, I prefer katanas and lightsabers. Only you can wield a greatsword freely without being affected by its weight."
He glanced at Siate with surprise, not understanding why she suddenly didn't like greatswords. Did she suddenly prefer katanas, or blunt weapons?
Little did he know that Siate, having just chatted with Tana, was prone to overthinking and her thoughts were wandering in all directions.
Ye Lin, at this moment, was completely in sage mode, having attained enlightenment and being free of distracting thoughts.
"When you get stronger, I'll give you a handy sword. For now, I'm going to Kelly's to check on the progress."
He patted Siate's head, who was in a state of panic, then yawned and bid farewell to Kelah, slowly moving his feet towards Kelly's reinforcement shop.
Although his various +3, +5, and +7 reinforcement tickets had some impact, the number of customers at the reinforcement shop had not decreased much.
For an ordinary Adventurer, reinforcing equipment below rare grade by 3 or 4 is enough. The success rate is high and it's not expensive. Only equipment of rare grade and above is eligible for +7.
For equipment that the owner estimated they wouldn't replace for a long time, they would consider taking a gamble on +10.
He walked directly to the second floor, pushed open the door next to Kelly's bedroom. This was a laboratory, with a large metal table in the center covered with parts, and shelves around the walls piled with some semi-finished robots and several large boxes. Kelly was busy at the table.
Although she had settled down in Arad and become a wealthy person, the act of being prepared for danger was ingrained in Kelly, who grew up in the Lawless Zone.
"Young man, you're here... Why do you look so listless?"
She wore a pair of eyeglasses, holding a golden revolver in her hand, her joy impossible to conceal.
"Nothing much. Is this the Nen Revolver?"
"Yes, with your materials, it went quite smoothly."
She twirled the revolver a few times on her finger, then, reluctantly, with a flick of her finger, the Nen Revolver flew into Ye Lin's arms.
"Don't break it on me, this is the only one. Feng Zhen said if I go to him again, he'll fight me to the death..."
She then grabbed a box of silver bullets from the table and handed them over. Kelly was very reluctant, as she had just gotten it and hadn't even warmed up to it yet before she had to temporarily give it away.
"Not bad..."
He twirled the Nen Revolver in his hand, feeling its substantial weight. Besides swords, firearms are also a source of passion and romance for many men.
"Oh, by the way, Kelly, how's your stamina?"
"Me? Stamina?"
Kelly put her eyeglasses back on top of her head, recalling with a hint of sadness but also strong confidence, "During the Battle of Arden Heights, those Callett bastards attacked and ambushed from morning till night, and I fought from morning till night without losing once. If it weren't for that scoundrel Pierre... never mind. Simply put, it's very strong."
Ye Lin nodded silently. No matter how good Kelly's stamina was, she was still human. Thinking of this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, right, your interference emitter..."
Kelly took out a gray mechanical wristband from a small box beside her. After a colorless small crystal was embedded, the green light of the interference emitter slowly lit up.
"One colorless crystal can last for about twenty minutes. A golden one doubles that. If the energy is insufficient, a red light will turn on, and you'll have half a minute to replace it. Since you didn't need many, I didn't specially set up a production line. What you have is a prototype. Tomorrow, I should be able to supply what you need."
"You've gone to a lot of trouble..."
If Kelly's eccentric personality made people helpless or even gnash their teeth, as long as one became a true friend with her, her loyalty and ability would never disappoint.
The fact that she, who loved 1v1 cowboy death duels, was never kicked out by the captain, was a clear testament to this.
"Who is The team going to deal with? It's not really Lotus, is it?" Kelly couldn't help but frown.
As a native of the Lawless Zone, she knew that the reason the Lawless Zone lagged behind Ghent by nearly a hundred years, besides the "Oolong Train," was primarily because Apostle Bakal shattered the continent of Arad.
The news of Apostle Lotus's arrival had completely exploded, spreading throughout West Coast and the nearby Hutton Mar overnight. It wouldn't be long before all of Belmare and Delos would know.
Lotus, also an Apostle, awakened the fear of Bakal and Apostles that the Heavenly Realm people had in Kelly's memory.
"Lotus is already very weak. With the interference emitter, we have a great chance of winning!"
Ye Lin spoke with conviction, but his heart couldn't help but worry. Mind control was Lotus's specialty, and accordingly, his Wisdom was extremely high, reaching the point where everything he said was philosophy.
What if, after meeting Lotus, they couldn't understand each other? Just like his first meeting with Yuena, they weren't on the same wavelength.
