Outside the Sea Temple.
Soran’s figure came out of the darkness with his palm holding an additional emblem. It was the one which that Naga Siren had given him before he left. It was an extraordinary item with a special usage, and it was also an item that could order the pirates under the control of the temple to assist the user. It was a hidden special emblem that had no unique features relating to the Sea Temple. It was just carved with a rune that looked like a jellyfish. Before he left, Naga leaned over and kissed Soran on the forehead, and whispered something in an oceanic language at the same time.
This was a blessing ceremony.
It was not the same type of blessing as the one by the Maid of Misfortune, but a weaker version of blessings that were done offhand.
It was said that those who received a kiss on the forehead by the Priests of the Sea Goddess would not get attacked by fierce and powerful sea monsters even if they met one.
Such blessings had no attribute bonuses unless they were officially blessed by the Queen of the Depths.
Only that kind of God’s blessing was considered true protection. One would not encounter storms and huge waves when they traveled on the seas. Even if they did, it wasn’t a problem. The sea would pick up their boats and would protect them and their servants. Sea monsters would stay away and would ignore them. They would never take the initiative to attack them. Even to a certain extent, after some conditions have been met, they could use the name of the Queen of the Depths to command the sea monsters. Currently, one of the three pirate kings in the Soros Islands can command sea monsters.
If the Naga Siren did not kiss Soran and he jumped into the pond outside, he would be immediately attacked by the giant octopus in it. But now, if he jumped in, the giant octopus inside would only ignore him. Even if he encountered sharks, or sea monsters or anything in the future, these sea creatures would most likely ignore him.
This was the blessing given by the Priests of the Sea Goddess. Usually, these blessings could only be obtained after the sacrificial ceremony or they have donated large sums of money.
It was only a temporary blessing that would only last for about a week!
The emblem that Soran obtained was special. It was an extraordinary item embedded with permanent spells. It belonged to the kind of item that hardly added any combat power, but very useful at other times.
“Item Type: the Drowned Emblem [Incomplete Item]
Item Grade: [Rare (Grade 2)]
Description: This is a special emblem ornament where the Priest of the Sea Goddess permanently embedded the [Underwater Breathing] spell. Wearing this device, no creature will die of drowning. It also has a special ability to help the wearer enter deeper waters while reducing the effects of deep-sea areas on the wearer. It seems that the emblem is only a part of an item, which clearly shows that it was once embedded in a piece of equipment.
Requirements: None.
Effects: Permanent [Underwater Breathing] spell. The wearer can breathe under any water environment.
Special Effects: Deep Sea Area Fortitude + 2, Diving Capacity increased, Counter Special Sea Environment + 2.”
In the shadow of the night.
Soran frowned and played with the Drowned Emblem. Unknowingly, he felt that the pattern was a little familiar as if he had seen it somewhere before. It was not easy to make a clear impression on him, especially things that were near the sea. In his memory, there were instances where high-grade Legendary Items appeared near the Soros Islands. He just didn’t know if the emblem in his hands had anything to do with that thing. It was obviously part of something, but Soran could not deduce anything without the other parts.
If it was really part of that thing, it would be worth taking the risk for Soran.
Because the power of that thing could almost perfectly rival a Godly Artifact. In critical moments, it could also summon a legendary-level deep-sea monster.
That thing would be heaven-defying at sea!
One person could have killed a pirate king’s naval fleet entirely by themselves.
In his perfect state, Soran was so energetic that he didn’t even think of sleeping at all. Instead of rushing back to the hotel, he tested his abilities a little. He had a Gold Derahl clipped between his fingers. It was rolling around his fingertips at an astonishing speed, which in the end, it almost left after-images. When he clasped his hand, the Gold Derahl disappeared and then emerged from his other hand.
It was beyond the retina’s ability to capture images!
Even Soran himself could not see his small and swift movements, and his hands were now rivaling and almost as dexterous as the top magicians of his previous life.
It was only part of the legendary skill, Omnipotent Hands.
The test was certainly more than just that.
Soran still could not test the ability of the Omnipotent Hands to use any equipment yet. So, he could only try the buffs on his Rogue abilities after using his recovery ability. In theory, after attaining the Omnipotent Hands—even if the level of his Rogue abilities were not very high—it could still reach the level of a legendary Rogue. Because the dexterity of both hands would so high that the dexterity bonus provided would be more astonishing than the skill points.
