Chapter 126 [Summary of Ectoplasm Plunder] (2 updates)
The things were placed inside a statue. Conrad didn't like the statue of the four-handed evil god, so a lightning strike destroyed the wooden sculpture.
This reckless approach is likely to bring bad consequences.
The result is just the opposite.
A rubbing was revealed on an extremely thick piece of powerful biological leather.
It is definitely not a simple item that can withstand Conrad's lightning strike.
There is a lot of content recorded in the ancient language.
Mark couldn't read it for a moment, but that didn't stop him from realizing the importance of this thing.
Mark contacted Destiny Dice: [Can this thing be analyzed? 】
[The host please read the above text first.]
【……】
The things that can make the fate dice react are not ordinary things.
Yes, it looks like I have to go to the mysterious library.
After scanning around, this is the most valuable thing.
Mark, who had gained a lot, decided to withdraw.
On the way back, a demon with no eyes finally came over and tried to see if this weird ghost ship was real.
It has a body like a mosquito and an octopus-like head. It is not only fast, but also very agile.
Unfortunately, it came at the wrong time.
Before he was released, Mark would probably run away, but now.
Mark raised the brass monocular and imprinted the disgusting image on his retinas.
"put!"
18 artillery pieces fired in unison, and then, there was no more.
Cannons against mosquitoes, especially mosquitoes that are larger than a tank, actually have a pretty good deterrent effect.
The evil spirits who were still watching from a distance were frightened and fled away on the spot.
It wasn't until the ghost ship with its strange aura was far away that they swarmed out and selflessly devoured the corpse of the big mosquito.
Mark looked at the [Fel Aedes] in his hand, which was only B+ grade, typically a large and useless-looking product, and then threw it into the revolver's bullet maker.
"My Lord, I have a little suggestion. The [White Pearl] seems to be a bit of a commercial product." Conrad touched his head.
"Well, let's change the name to [Golden Pearl]."
"..."
Boss, are you going to have trouble with Pearl?
The ghost ship is called "Golden Pearl", and there is no one there.
In the past, this ship was just a pretended ghost ship, but now it seems more and more real.
Hank and the others are a little chilly.
Because they saw that after these ghost artillery fired, the screw on the long pole floated into the barrel and cleaned up the non-existent gunpowder residue. Then there was a sponge and cashmere ball on the top.
The water-soaked rod was stuffed into the barrel of the cannon for secondary cleaning. Then a pack of black powder bounced to the bottom of the muzzle, and a large iron ball shell automatically rolled to the corresponding position.
They are waiting for the second launch of the artillery...
Damn it, this ghost ship is getting more and more realistic.
Conrad did the math: We have the ship, we have the captain, we have the sailors, we have the ghost cannon, and if we add something like the cursed Siren bow, we will be all set!
Young Master, are you really a lawful neutral person?
I guess whoever comes here will have a headache when they see Mark.
Working as a good and lawful person, pretending to be an evil and lawful person, it seems like he is jumping back and forth between the good and evil camps.
Perhaps, this is the neutral camp!
Returning to the [Mechanical Ascension], Helena almost jumped into Mark's arms: "I'm worried to death."
Touching her hair, Mark noticed that she rarely smelled of machine oil, and there weren't many metal shavings in her hair.
When she found Mark sniffing it, Helena said a little embarrassedly: "I have nothing to do, I wasted a handful, I just washed it..."
The voice dropped.
Alas! It’s time to tell her why 40mm rifle grenades are of 40mm caliber.
Three days later, the [Mechanical Ascension] disguised as a cargo ship docked at Port Lucivid. This was originally just a small port on the eastern coast of the Saint Wright Empire.
Thirty years ago, it was just a small port with a population of only 5,000 people.
Thanks to the popularity of trains, the port of Lucivid is organically integrated with the province of Leerna where it is located. Because the terrain of this province is a bit strange, it is semi-surrounded by a large mountain range, with only the seaward side.
That side is the plain, and land transportation has not been developed since ancient times.
With the train, goods from the entire province were transported through the port of Lucivid to various parts of the Leyte Empire.
Hence the fifth largest port in the empire.
After docking, Conrad, disguised as a businessman, naturally took a small amount of goods to the dock merchants' chamber for delivery. This was the goods that came along the way, not much, just five tons of medium-grade iron ore, and it was Rael.
Iron ore needed by Na Steel Plate Factory.
According to the normal voyage, it is a small business with a gross profit of 30%. Excluding the miscellaneous expenses such as labor and ship fuel, it is only a small profit, which is used to hide the public's eyes.
Only Mark, like a young man who bought a ticket to take a smooth sailing, took Hank and Helena ashore.
"It will take me about a whole day to go to the mysterious library. You can just take a look around."
"Then I'll buy some mechanical parts."
"Okay, I will accompany Mr. Mishuer." Hank placed his brother's position clearly, he is a porter.
Going to the Mysterious Library again, Mark is familiar with the journey, and the library in various places is similar.
Only this time, he was much more generous. He casually tipped a hundred mysterious points to the guide, which made the soul extremely happy.
"XXXX is at your service enthusiastically."
Mark had no other ideas, so he went straight to find the Gulite translation. Through his spiritual vision, he compared it with the "Ectoplasm Looting Minutes" stored in the library of the Hall of Valor. It took him 5 hours to finally translate the rather obscure minutes.
.
There are generally three ways to plunder ectoplasm:
The first is Pei Ye's style, removing the head with the most complex and mottled ectoplasm, and swallowing the rest wholeheartedly. Using one's own strong mental power to forcibly copy one's own will and memory, assimilating the soul imprint of the opposite party.
The stronger part is to transform all the spiritual essence into your own.
This method is fast, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Unless one's own soul strength far exceeds the target, assimilating spiritual matter with a similar strength to one's own will often leave some hidden spiritual crystals that cannot be assimilated. There are many in history.
The enemy appears to be the master, occupying the body of the devourer and allowing the evil spirit to resurrect itself.
It was only the last time that Basatan defeated the miscellaneous demon general on the opposite side that he did this.
The second is what Zheng Shen likes to do the most. Not only does He have extremely powerful mental and soul power, but he also has almost infinite time, enough to slowly remove the original will and imprint in the ectoplasm. Even if He himself is not free.
, and can also be given to the majority of believers to inject the power of their faith into these spiritual qualities, thus diluting the other party's spirit and imprint.
No matter what it is, after it is diluted and the total amount increases, the quality and density will not be that strong.
At this time, it becomes quite easy to imprint your own soul mark.
The third type is the predator's gameplay.
"First of all, you must completely crush the target! Don't let the target have any residual spirit. Even if there is only a whisper of consciousness left in the target, you must dismantle it into letters with no special meaning!"
"Then, whatever camp the original owner of the ectoplasm is against, add a piece of ectoplasm meat with the spirit and spiritual power of the hostile camp to it. If it is an absolutely neutral camp, please use it directly."
To put it simply, if there is too much water, add flour, if there is too much flour, add water. If the ratio is right, the dough will always be mixed successfully, but I don’t know how big the dough will be after it is made.
From a practical point of view, this is more like drinking alcohol with cephalosporins. Even if you don't die, you can easily get into trouble.
However, this simple and crude neutralization gameplay has an unexpected philosophy.
Mark learned the third type.
It looks simple, but in fact the first one can trick countless people to death.
The power contained in the spiritual essence of a truly powerful evil spirit or heroic spirit is quite astonishing. Even if it is broken down into a single rune or character, it can still be effective.
If these runes are forcibly crushed, nothing will be said. The impact generated when the runes explode is enough to make the practitioner drink a pot.
Maybe, death suddenly on the spot is normal.
"But, could this move be tailor-made for me?"
Just do it if you think of it.
After coming out of the library, Mark contacted Helena and the others and stayed at the dock until the next morning before setting sail again.
This time Mark learned the lesson.
First, read the chart, find an area with the most islands, and let the [Mechanical Ascension] stop there, leaving the knights to guard the ship, and then use the ghost ship to walk in the spirit world.
Although the spiritual world and the real world are connected, their positions do not correspond absolutely one-to-one.
Mark had to remember the coordinates so that the "Golden Pearl" would probably jump out of the spiritual world somewhere and return to the real world.
The first experiment was a little skewed. Mark came out of the spirit world and searched for almost half an hour before he found a pitifully small uninhabited island.
Put the newly learned [Ectoplasmic Neutralization Array] on it, and then send... the reincarnation priest Mr. Tanis Edwards.
Put the blood moon card on the robot, and a Tanis that is 90% complete except for his intelligence will appear.
Leaving enough pure ectoplasm as the spiritual power to drive the magic circle, and leaving behind a lot of filthy ectoplasm collected from various sin sect branches, Mark unscrupulously took Conrad and Helena back to [Golden Pearl]
No.] on.
Driving the boat a full kilometer away from the island, Mark silently watched Tanis cast a spell through his binoculars.
Tanis followed the instructions and first put a large amount of ectoplasm into one end of the magic circle, which was both a feeding port and an ectoplasm grinder. At the other end, he put down the ectoplasm purified by the goddess of light.
After preparations were completed, Tanis, who had empty eyes, recited the incantation according to the memory that Mark had injected in advance.
Waves of whispers, as low as sleep, kept flowing out of Tanis' mouth.
Immediately, the spiritual light on the magic circle became louder and louder with the sound of the spell, stirring the spiritual essence in the formation.
The surging spiritual power fluctuations caused the gravel on the island to uncontrollably dance strangely.
As the spiritual power ripples spread out in circles, the mixing of spiritual matter in the magic circle becomes more and more obvious. They lose their original aura and color, the color becomes more uniform, and the volume becomes larger and larger.
Soon, at the other end of the magic circle, wisps of colorful smoke floated out.
These smokes were like living creatures, quickly getting into the magic circle, and seemed to be tearing at every glowing rune in the magic circle.
Then, the magic circle exploded...
"Boom!" A small mushroom cloud rose on the island!

ps: I stayed up late to write the third update, and I probably won’t be able to finish it, so I’ll wait until noon tomorrow.
