Chapter 266 Key (1)
During the thirty days in the Temple of Dusk, Ron couldn't guarantee whether the seal of the Temple of Dusk would have any impact on his entry into the Soul Ferry, so even though he had some free time in between, Ron never thought about entering the Soul Ferry.
But now, his strength has become stronger again, and his realm has been elevated. In order to confirm some of the ideas in his mind, it is time to enter the Soul Ferry Boat.
Moreover, there might be a chance to open another door of the Soul Ferry. Ron had a hunch that the secrets hidden in the Soul Ferry were gradually unfolding to him.
When he opened his eyes again, Ron's soul had appeared on the Soul Ferry. Elsa's figure appeared naturally, as usual, with her white jade feet standing on the railing, her head slightly raised, as if gazing at the sky above her head. This action seemed to be contagious, and Ron subconsciously raised his head, but when he saw the starry sky above his head, his brows slightly frowned. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that after not seeing her for a month, the starry sky seemed to have become a little brighter.
The colorful stars lit up the night sky, and the interlaced lights illuminated the Black Sea.
This was not his illusion.
Ron fell into a brief contemplation, not understanding what this change meant, nor did he know why it happened. Could it be because of his own growth in strength? But before, when he had just broken through the panic level, he did not seem to notice any obvious changes in the stars transformed from the gods.
Although he was confused, Ron had one advantage, which was that he would not waste too many brain cells on things he couldn't figure out. He would figure everything out naturally when he had more and more clues, so he was not in a hurry.
He quickly withdrew his gaze, and when he looked forward, he was shocked to find that there were two objects just in front of his toes.
One of them was a thick book with a silver-white cover.
Ostara's fragment*! The other one is an ancient key.
It looks like it has been soaked in water for too long and is a bit rusty.
But in terms of appearance, it is almost the same shape as the key held tightly in the palm of the giant hand extending out of the sea on the second Chaos Slab.
Ron already understood in his heart that this key was not used to open the door after completing the thirteen special strategy tasks, but was used to open a door on the Soul Ferry. Otherwise, it would never appear in this place.
He picked up the keys first.
Then he picked up Ostara's fragment.
Just as he picked up the fragment of Ostara, the familiar scene appeared again. There were stars shining brightly above his head, and the dense light seemed to gather above Ron's head.
At the same time, the fragment of Ostara in front of him opened automatically.
Although every page was blank, countless pieces of information flooded into Ron's mind frantically.
Just as Ron expected, the middle part of Ostara's fragment recorded some intermediate magic, plus all the advanced magic. If one wanted to obtain sub-forbidden spells and forbidden spell-level magic, he would have to wait for the next part.
Of course, after mastering the technique of magic compression, even low-level, intermediate, and advanced magic can still exert quite exaggerated destructive power.
Among these, there are several types of magic which, although of low grade, are quite useful in actual combat.
For example, dawn reflection.
This is a method that can hide one's existence by manipulating light.
There is also the Mingguang Battle Armor... which gathers the power of light and turns into a set of armor, which serves as a second layer of protection.
The enhancement magic of Light Chasing can't really make you reach the speed of light, but it can greatly increase your speed in a short period of time.
After Ron digested all of this magic, Ostara's fragments gradually dissipated in front of Ron, just like before, as if they had never existed.
Glancing around, it seemed that not much had changed. The dense silk threads were still floating slowly in the air. I had no idea where they came from, nor where they were going.
On the contrary, the silk thread wrapped around the finger, representing Agnes, has grown longer. Based on its current length, Agnes' life span should have increased to ten years.
Ron frowned.
As a villain in the game, Agnes was originally supposed to die in two and a half years... no, now it should be said that she was going to die in less than two years.
But, because of Ron's involvement, Agnes' fate has changed.
However, this change was not thorough. The repairman repeatedly wove a death ending for Agnes. But as Agnes' strength continued to increase, it was obvious that the ending the repairman had originally woven was no longer effective and could no longer kill Agnes, so Agnes' life span continued to increase.
All in all, this is barely a good thing.
After a brief thought, Ron went to the captain's room again and tried to open the door of the captain's room.
But just like before, the door to the captain's room showed no sign of opening.
It seems that the heroic level is still not enough. I don’t know if I will have the chance to open the captain’s room after breaking through the legendary level. Ron has a hunch that the moment he opens the captain’s room, it will be the moment when he completely masters the Soul Ferry.
He was not disappointed, but walked towards the cabin. When he passed the first floor of the cabin, Lucia's coffin still had the lid open. Just as Ron imagined, the girl who was originally lying in the coffin had disappeared.
The other silver-white coffin next to it was also quiet. Ron opened the lid of the coffin and saw the body of another girl lying quietly inside, with no change from before.
Ron had already explored this floor without missing anything.
Ron quickly turned his gaze to the deepest part of the first floor, where there was a door made of bones. When he arrived in front of the door, Ron's expression was a little strange. He would not forget the scene when Lucia bumped her head against the door.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Thinking back on it now, Ron still felt the urge to laugh out loud.
He didn't know why Lucia insisted on following him, but he always felt that Lucia at that time didn't look very smart, as if... as if she didn't get enough sleep in the coffin, or her brain was not fully developed, so she was a little stupid.
Even after following Ron and leaving the Soul Ferry and entering the Dusk Continent, he still slept most of the time, only helping out occasionally.
But Ron always felt that this girl seemed to become a little smarter while sleeping... and the emotions she occasionally showed seemed to be richer than at the beginning.
If Ron called Lucia stupid in front of her now, Lucia would definitely puff up her cheeks and look at him indignantly.
Ron laughed and shook his head, suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind. He reached out and grabbed the door lock leading to the next floor, applying a little force.
Click.
Then there was a creaking sound.
In this extremely silent world with almost no movement, the sound seemed particularly harsh.
Just as Ron had guessed, after reaching the hero level, he was finally qualified to enter the next level. Of course, as usual, Ron's soul was always ready to escape.
He simply separated a strand of thread from his soul and let it penetrate into the next layer. After carefully sensing it and confirming that there was no movement, he felt slightly relieved, and his entire soul truly stepped into the space of the second layer.
Compared to the upper layer, the second layer seems to be a little smaller, but not much and it doesn't look obvious.
There is also a magic lamp hanging on the ceiling that seems to be made of a skull. The small flame and dim light fill the entire space.
At least there was a desk, a chair and two coffins on the first floor, but this floor seemed even more empty.
There was only a low table with a small sandalwood box on it.
There was a mysterious pattern engraved on the surface of the box, like some kind of spell, and there was a small keyhole on the box... Ron instantly looked down at his palm, and the rusty key was still held in Ron's hand.
