Not only that, he also felt a pair of invisible hands reaching into his clothes and groping up and down his body.
Hiss! The body's subconscious resistance caused a layer of 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, and it seemed that he was just trying to verify his doubts.
Hero simply gave up his resistance and summoned the data panel, wanting to see what the reminder that just appeared at the corner of his eye was.
There is still no change in the panel about the magician above.
On the contrary, there is an extra piece of data on the upper right side of the module system.
【Soul fragments, 12】
When Holo shifted his consciousness to this piece of data, another sentence came out from the side:
"There are currently no required upgrade modules"
Phew! Materials required for module upgrades!
What an unexpected surprise!
The module system in Interstellar Miner is more on the technological side. Most modules only have the lowest amplitude bonus effect when dropped. Different types of modules require different ores to be upgraded, and each upgrade requires
The amount of ore has doubled.
After traveling to this world of magicians, Hero was still worried about the upgrade of the module system. He thought about finding some ores to test it after he was out of control, but he unexpectedly learned the materials needed for the upgrade.
Judging from the literal meaning, soul fragments should be the soul power consumed by the magician when performing soul magic.
It would be much more convenient to know the source of the upgrade materials, but the soul fragments produced by soul spells of different powers and consumption must be tested after becoming a magician.
In this border port, there weren't that many magicians to provide him with soul fragments.
At this time, after checking and finding nothing unusual, Mena 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 room seemed to be calmed down by the serious Mena. Fortunately, Green reacted 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."
After hearing Green's explanation, Mena and the others said nothing, but looked at Green in the center of the drinkers with strange smiles on their faces.
"Do you think...we are easy to deceive? In every imperial territory radiated by the Holy Land Tower, there are nobility magicians. They respect the will of the Holy Land Tower, govern and protect the subjects in the corresponding area, and as
The outpost of the expedition to the deep sea...the port, but the empire has never sent a magician to guard it.
It's not that it can't be done, but it's not worth it. Regardless of us, even if we are normal adults staying in the port for three months, we will be stained with varying degrees of deep-sea imprints. And this one in front of us... the child who grew up in the port in your mouth
, but not even a trace of the deep sea was stained.
So...please tell me, who is lying to me? You or him?"
The hand that originally patted Holo's shoulder with clear joints slowly raised to the top of his head.
Mena's malice 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..."
"Hmm? 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 doesn't care who it was that just asked for gold coins.
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 twenty centimeters long, and the end of the nail was a twisted curve.
Turning runes.
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 'ding-dong-dang'.
In addition, the expected shouts did not appear.
"Sure enough, you have embraced the deep sea, so you should no longer be citizens of 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 were ready for it.
【Soul Shard 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, has already undergone changes. Black reflective scales cover all exposed surfaces. Among the others, his injuries appear to be the most serious and tragic. There are runic iron nails inserted into his face, arms, and chest, and some of them have even been damaged.
Completely submerged in the body.
The runes at the exposed ends of the iron nails were still faintly red.
Hero watched as several people pulled out the iron nails, and the blood holes left behind were still bleeding out.
As for the drinkers on the ground, they are really unlucky, and the scales on their bodies can't even be blocked by a nail.
However, their bad luck made Hero's luck better.
On the dead bodies, square spots of light appeared one after another.
Module!
Twelve corpses gave birth to twelve modules.
Like soul fragments, they seemed to be summoned the moment they jumped out of the corpse, and they floated towards Hero.
The blood-red square was covered with thick and beating blood vessels, and the bulging fascia wrapped the flesh. It gave Holo a very twisted and evil feeling. The moment it floated into Holo's body, various reminders popped up in the system.
.
【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]
Twelve Corpses only provided these two amplitude modules, and Hero kept two of them. The other identical modules could not be directly fused and upgraded, so in desperation, he could only disassemble them.
After the module is decomposed, it does not produce other materials, but turns into a cold energy that is integrated into every part of the body.
‘click’
Feeling the comfort brought by the energy, Holo also heard the system's beep.
Click to open the system and take a look.
[Soul Energy] on the data panel has been unlocked.
'What is the soul energy after the module is decomposed? It is the soul that directly acts on oneself!'
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.
