Infinite Throne

   Chapter 716 Throwing stones to ask for directions (4800 words)

   about skills.

  Irin noticed a strange thing shortly after the arrival of the "Great Apostle Age".

   It seems that it is not only him, but every apostle, from various channels, the probability of obtaining "skills" has dropped significantly.

   And, in the version update notes, there is one thing worth noting.

That is…

  The dead apostle, all the skills, equipment, and unused props he obtained from the tower will return to the "Wishing Pool", and the fallen leaves will return to their roots.

   So does this mean…

  After all the people are summoned, because there are too many apostles, skills...not enough points?

   Later, Yilin faintly noticed this from the rhetoric of friends around him or the posts in the apostles forum.

   Fewer and fewer people are talking about what skills they get.

   Obviously in the past, this kind of thing was quite popular.

   Such as—

  【Mengxin accidentally got the "A-level" skill in the last trial, is this probability outrageous? 】

  【Excuse me if someone accidentally got an "S-rank" skill, can he be considered a master? 】

  【I have too many skills now, not enough psionic power, so annoying! 】

   In the past, there were many similar posts on the forum.

   But recently, there have been fewer and fewer posts like this.

   [Master of Swordsmanship] and [Mastery of Swordsmanship] are two passive skills related to "sword".

   fell on Irin, and is completely useless at the moment.

   Ah no~

   It's not completely useless. He still has two [rare] swords in his bag. In Haiting City, Irin suddenly forgot about it and didn't have time to give it to Oda Mai. With these two passive skills, in the future, you will be able to pretend to be more mellow and comfortable.

   When he encounters people he doesn't know, he can say: I'm an ignorant and ignorant Erjianliu melee side.

  From various signs, it reflects a little from the side.

   "In this circle, involution is getting more and more serious."

  It is no wonder that in Haiting City, the remnants of the Dawning Sect can easily provoke conflicts between newcomers and veterans.

  Compared to newcomers, the advantages that seniors have is too great.

According to Li Kai, most of the new apostles, after surviving the first cruel trial of preparing apostles, could no longer muster the courage to step into the door trial. Even if they saw a new world, they would rather be a " Ordinary people", trying to survive.

  Irin sighed, thinking of this, he silently closed the apostle panel.

  After counting the harvest, the next time is to deal with the "chaos value".

   On the boat, nothing major happened for the time being, and it was fairly safe.

   Even if there is an emergency like a sea monster emerging from the sea, Irin believes that with Milian's fighting power, she can easily shatter the sea monster with one sword. Maybe even have a fragrant supper.

   Irin has no doubts about this.

  Millien is more concerned than anyone when it comes to supper.

  Irin closed his eyes and felt his body fall. After a while, he came to the module space.

  This strange space that only exists in his spiritual world is as barren and dead as ever, with only glowing spheres connected by threads in the depths of the void.

  The two newly acquired skills should be put away first.

   Although Yilin now has a chaos value of 300,000, which is a fat gain, but compared to the huge chaos value required to upgrade the skills of the module, it is only a drop in the bucket, and it is not enough.

   "Three hundred thousand."

  Irin thought for a moment.

   After a while,

   He deftly shrunk the module in front of him, and pressed his fingers towards the ball of light where the [Grip of Oblivion] was.

   In the upgrade process, Yi Rin is already familiar with it, and the confirmation process is simply omitted.

The    skill ball flashed, and [Grip of Annihilation] spent a full 160,000 Chaos Points to upgrade to 4 stars.

  …

  【Grip of Oblivion】

  【Grade】4 stars

  【Consumption】400 Ps

  【Restrictions】Empty-handed casting.

  [Effect] Lock a 10X10X10 cubic space area with bare hands, producing blasts with unknown power. The casting distance and blasting power are positively related to the comprehensive attributes of strength, agility, and spirit. There is a certain chance to trigger the "annihilation" effect, and the trigger probability is related to the lucky attribute.

  【Description】Your hand is so murderous that it will not recognize your six relatives. If you are not careful, you might even die in "annihilation".

  …

After the    skill is upgraded,

  Irin carefully read the description attached to the skill.

   Seeing this, Yi Rin's face was a little stunned.

  It seems that something is wrong.

"It's strange, when the Grasp of Oblivion is 3 stars, it obviously only consumes 200 psionic points, and the explosion range is '4X4X4'. But how can 4 stars become '10X10X10'? This is not a common card? The consumption has turned over. Doubled, the blasting range is higher than expected?"

  Irin frowned.

   The upgrade route of this skill is a little bit deviated from the idea.

   After a while, Irin happily accepted this cruel reality.

   He initially thought that the blasting range of the skill should be upgraded to "8X8X8".

   As for the extra consumption, hey~ with his current psionic energy, does that count as consumption?

   The only thing to worry about is that the upgraded [Grip of Annihilation], rubbing up the Annihilation Ball should be more difficult than expected. He needs more practice.

all in all,

   This skill has become another skill of Irin that can be called a "final decision" after [Bloodthirsty Disaster].

   In the Apocalypse Guild, Yi Rin and Lao Pan were classified as the "Finished Group".

   This "one-shot group" lives up to its reputation.

   An annihilation ball was dropped, and Irin himself didn't know what would happen.

  Thinking about it for a while, even he was a little scared.

   On [Grip of Oblivion], Irin consumed 160,000 Chaos Points.

   Chaos value is still a mere 140,000.

   "One more skill can be upgraded."

  Irin pondered for a moment and made a decisive choice.

  No hesitation.

  pop~

   "Upgrade me!"

  …

  【Bloodthirsty Disaster】

  【Grade】4 stars

  【Consumption】50% HP

  【Restrictions】You must say out loud "It's not me, it's the world!" to activate the skill.

  【Effect】For each life killed, you can choose to absorb 40% of the total attributes of the deceased's "Strength", "Agility", and "Spirit", condensing them into 1 layer of "Blood Will", and the "Blood Will" can accumulate 5 layers in total. After using the skill, all "blood will" can be consumed to generate a temporary attribute value assigned by itself.

  【Duration】240 seconds

  [Cooldown] 48 hours (Note: Apostles will fall into a "weak" state during the skill cooldown period)

  【Description】Death is like the wind, with me! If you're not careful, you may die before killing someone.

  …

   As the trump card among the trump cards, Irin put the priority of [Bloodthirsty Disaster] in the forefront again.

   With the overall improvement of Yilin's three-dimensional attributes, the "weak" state is no longer as scary as it was at the beginning.

   At the very least, Yilin's mental attributes will not drop to the point where Yilin has "cerebral palsy".

  This skill, as a skill to turn the remnants of blood, has allowed Yi Rin to seek life in the headwind game many times. At first, Yi Rin resisted in his heart, but now he feels that it is fragrant.

After the    module skills are upgraded,

The    skill consumption is still 50% of the health value, which does not change, after all, it is a blood-violent skill, and Yiren can understand it.

   The change in skills is that each layer of blood will increase from 30% to 40%. Yi Rin no longer needs to deliberately choose the goal of condensing blood will, as long as it is not too bad, five layers of blood will stack up, and Yi Rin can easily and temporarily upgrade the spirit, agility, and strength attributes to the extraordinary realm of a layer of locks. .

  Three kinds of attributes are broken at the same time, Yiren can be regarded as the real firepower, except [Echo of Doom], all other abilities can be used freely.

in addition,

The duration of the    skill has been increased from 210 seconds to 240 seconds.

   Four full minutes.

   In these four minutes, once Yilin goes wild, it will become a nightmare for countless people.

  The operation is complete.

  Irin exits the mod space.

   After a busy night, the distant sea horizon, faintly floating in the white light of fish maw.

   consumed a lot of psionic energy, and Yi Rin was also a little sleepy, so he lay down on the spot and fell asleep.

   Sailing days are dull and boring.

  Cerberus remained as calm as ever.

   But Yi Rin could see the restlessness in her heart.

  The motor of the cargo ship was screeching loudly, full of horsepower.

   It stands to reason that there are only two reasons why Cerberus is so anxious.

   One is the treasure stolen from the clock tower,

  The second is to come to relatives.

   As for which one, Irin was embarrassed to find out.

   As for Irin,

   He had the experience of sailing in the vast sea for more than two months before, which did not make Yilin feel any negative emotions.

   There are rollaway beds in the cargo ship.

   He took out one and lay on the deck when the weather was fine, sunbathing.

   Griffin crouched on the roof of the cockpit, staring at the book in Irin's hand through gritted teeth.

  —“A Humanistic and Ethical Discussion on Animal Transformation Magic in Daily Life”.

   Obviously, this is another book that Yilin "borrowed" from the clock tower library.

   In the past 24 hours, at sunrise and sunset, Griffin kept staring at Yi Rin. She found that there were already six different books just by Yi Rin switching back and forth.

   "How many copies did he steal!"

   During the boring voyage, an interesting thing happened.

  Irin quietly dripped a few drops of blood into the sea, attracting hordes of hungry sharks.

   That night, Milian, who had been hungry all day, ate a whole shark feast in satisfaction.

  Irin changed the pattern, using different shark positions... er, body parts, and cooked a full eight dishes.

  When Miriam ate to her heart's content, the ancestral hair on her forehead curled into a strange shape, and she couldn't stop twitching and trembling.

   After going to sea, the third day dusk.

  The afterglow of the setting sun dyes the sea red.

  The cargo ship quietly arrived on the other side of the English Channel.

   On the other side of the coast, when the five Irins went ashore, they did not encounter any local armed forces such as robbers and road bandits.

  Irin deeply regrets this.

   Shortly after Yilin and the others landed.

   A white dove that looked very ordinary, flapping its wings, flew towards the direction of Irin and the others.

   Yi Rin just raised his slap and was about to take a picture of this passing white dove in the air, but Cerberas' face changed slightly, and he quickly suppressed Yi Rin's anxious thoughts.

   "It's communication between magicians."

   As Cerberas spoke, the white dove landed precisely on Cerberas' shoulders.

   "Flying pigeon biography? Such an ancient method!"

  The white dove spit out a mini emerald in the palm of Cerberas. After the white dove completed the task, she glanced shiveringly in the direction of Yi Rin, and flew away as if to flee for her life.

  Cerberus took a shot on the emerald, and there was a flash of light on the emerald, and one ancient text after another appeared on the emerald.

   This is the "Rune Rune" magic commonly used by Cerberus, which has many functions and is used to convey secret information, no problem.

   "We have to hurry up."

   After reading what the carrier pigeon conveyed, Cerberus did not explain anything.

   Several people traveled all night, only rested for three hours at night, and galloped all the way in the direction of the German Republic.

   along the way,

   There are quite a few abandoned gas stations, unguarded.

  Irin finally made the Nightmare full of pure fuel. The locomotive under Irin's **** was burping all the way, and the tires were wobbly when walking, as if it was drunk by the fuel.

   Day 5.

  According to the established plan, they finally arrived at the legendary "red-haired city".

   is the former city of Munich.

   On the way, Irin and the others deliberately avoided the crowded area, so they didn't encounter any trouble.

  Take ten thousand steps back, even if there is trouble, it is someone else's trouble.

  Munich is an ancient city.

   In Yilin's consistent impression, the so-called city is nothing more than a bustling street, a lively crowd, the roads lead in all directions, the lights are brilliant at night, and there will never be a day of sleep.

   The city can be seen from afar, but "it" gives Irin a different feeling.

  London seems to be shrouded in fog forever, like a shy girl wearing a tulle.

  The city of Munich is a passionate and unrestrained royal sister.

   A Gothic dome building with an ancient decoration style has retained its original appearance. Orange, red, blue, roofs of various bright colors, row upon row, layer upon layer.

   Looking down, the roofs of different colors seem to form an abstract oil painting with a different artistic conception.

   A black flag is erected on the roofs of many buildings in the city. The pattern on the flag is a ferocious white skull with dazzling "red hair" fluttering above its head.

   These flags seem to declare to the outside world that this is the territory of "red hair".

   "Be careful, Joe D. Solomon, known as the 'redhead', this man is not simple."

  Million was outside the city, with a rare serious expression, and said to Yi Rin: "On the War Tower server rankings, Joe D. Solomon is a rare veteran who takes the initiative to reveal his name on the list."

  Joe D. Solomon?

  Irin opened the "World Personal Ranking" with a blank face.

  I haven't noticed it for a long time, and the list has undergone subtle changes.

  Irin's own ranking, from the world's eighty-seventh, a small step, has entered the world's eighty-fifth strong.

   The list turned a page forward, Yi Rin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw the name "Joe D. Solomon".

  World Ranking, 58th!

   In terms of overall strength, Joe D. Solomon's ranking is even higher than Irin!

  Although, Yi Rin knew that his time as an apostle was too short, and his progress was too rapid, causing his apostle level to be far behind the pace of strength improvement. In terms of overall strength ranking, Yi Rin was greatly hindered by the apostle level, making Yi Rin suspected of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

but-

   Among the apostles on the order of hundreds of millions, the top 100 are all elite fighters, and their strength should not be underestimated.

   "The seventh guild in the world, ranking fifty-eighth in personal strength."

The    rankings are for reference only, but Yi Rin still raised some spirits and ignited a little.

   Contemplating for a moment, Yi Rin turned back to Cerberus with a constipated face and asked, "Are you sure that Cecia von Einzbern is still in this city?"

   "I can't be sure."

  Cerberus answered honestly.

  Irin looked at Gu Tianqing who was silent beside him.

Gu Tianqing spread out her hands, squinted her eyes and smiled, and said in a helpless tone, "My esteemed president, you clearly know that my divination is more inclined to divination 'the direction of things', rather than using Locate and find someone.”

  Irin believed it for now.

   Around the city of Munich, a tall barbed wire with nails was pulled up, a full five meters high.

  This city, in just a few months after the mutation, became a private fortress.

   Teams of soldiers in dark green uniforms stood guard and patrolled at the main entrance of the city, and the defense was strictly guarded.

   "Want to rush in?"

   Griffin lifted the black bag on his shoulders and asked coldly.

"Need not,"

  Irin put a "crystal" into the hands of Miriam, Cerberus, and Griffin.

   The three of them were stunned.

   "Gu Tianqing, come in with me. From your appearance, you can tell you are locals, and the target is too conspicuous."

   Hearing the words, Griffin and Cerberus tilted their heads and made a question mark.

   They subconsciously felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Irin's words.

   Isn't it more noticeable because he and Gu Tianqing have two standard faces from the East?

  Irin greeted Gu Tianqing, patted it, sorted out the slightly wrinkled suit, and walked straight to the door.

   Gu Tianqing was stunned for a moment, he seemed to understand Yi Rin's plan, he smiled helplessly, and followed.

"and many more,"

  Cerberus had a rare expression of surprise on her face. She grabbed the collar of Irin's suit and asked, "What are you going to do?"

   "Find someone and ask."

  Irin replied as a matter of course.

   "By the way, this trick is called throwing a 'stone' to ask for directions."

   At the end, Irin made a vivid gesture, throwing something forward, and explained to Milian.
