The sky gradually darkened.
Søren stood up and listened to the movement outside. He could vaguely hear the screams of men. This group of Amazon women took over more than half of the prostitutes in port Tylon. Although they were also women, when they really stepped into the gray area, they would not be soft-hearted at all. And they also secretly controlled some of the more taboo areas, such as fair-skinned and beautiful men, strong men, and so on. These gray channels could even extend to other cities near the south coast.
Many aristocratic women, who were either old or lonely, would definitely need some interesting activities. There were even some aristocratic widows in the south coast who directly raised male slaves. In the slave black market, they selected men as if they were livestock, including the objects below. These slaves were domesticated by cruel means, and it may also involve spiritual suggestion and so on. In the end, the slaves that were cultivated were very docile.
This custom was a bit like the ancient Roman period, so the reputation of the aristocrats on the south coast was not very good.
The torture was still going on.
Søren's hearing was much better than before, so from time to time, he could hear faint screams from the basement. The Amazons seemed to have some fights with the locals. Recently, it seemed that many people had been caught and tortured. The bodies were dealt with through special channels, so the hotel looked very calm on the surface. Søren was a little worried about being involved in the conflict between them and the local gangs, so he was thinking about whether to move to the sea temple.
It was undoubtedly very easy for the Naga Siren priest to settle him and Vivian. The sea temple's secular power was very strong.
The screams stopped for a moment.
Søren vaguely heard the woman's voice. It seemed that the target had died because of excessive punishment. Then there was the sound of the basement door opening, followed by three footsteps. One of the women's footsteps was very heavy. She should be wearing heavy armor. The standard configuration of female Amazons were all heavy infantry. This group of women dared to fight with heavy cavalry on the battlefield. Søren was still impressed by them.
He was not interested in other things. When he closed the window, he looked at some sneaky stares nearby and then began to study his own spells.
A row of data appeared:
"The Wizard profession has leveled up to level 7."
"Received 25 (INT 20 + (INT 20-10) * 0.5) skill points, HP increased by 10 (Profession HP 4 + (CON 21-10) * 0.5)."
Without a doubt, Søren put his skill points into Literacy. His highest basic skill at the moment was Literacy, which had already reached 185 points. Most of it was from skill points, and a small part of it was from reading books. Søren already had a good understanding of the language, customs, geography, and religion of human society. Although he wasn't as knowledgeable as a scholar, it would be easy for him to become a teacher in a noble family.
Currently, secular knowledge could only raise one's Lore to about 250 points. Any further would require mysticism knowledge, magic knowledge, supernatural knowledge, and planar knowledge to level up.
Among them, if one wanted to reach 350 points in Literacy, they would have to have a considerable amount of knowledge about the planes!
In other words, he needed to travel across planes.
Therefore, many wizards liked to travel to other planes, the most famous of which was the [Astral Traveler]. They were the top masters of knowledge, and their footprints were all over the planes.
This was not a profession. [Astral Traveler] was a special background ability.
It was a bit like a title.
…
Søren settled his thoughts, then took out a thick stack of white paper and began to analyze the spell model of 'Greater Invisibility'. He had already gotten this spell from the Sea Temple. The priest thought that he needed to use the spell scroll to fight, but she probably didn't think that Søren would use it to memorize. Søren didn't trust the Naga Siren priest very much, so he still had a lot of cards up his sleeve. The priest didn't even know that he had a high wizard level.
The priest even thought that Søren was a quasi-legendary assassin because he liked to fight with poison.
This was the assassin's favorite way to fight.
Part-time jobs were the easiest to disguise. There were wizards who disguised as warriors, or warriors who disguised as wizards. (PS: For example, Gandalf, a standard berserker who was a gray-robed wizard.)
In Søren's memory, there was a non-native character.
That guy always made people think that he was a wizard, but when he pulled out his sword, others found out that he was actually a sword saint.
He was a very powerful and dangerous guy.
With the super explosive power of a sword saint, coupled with the wizard's stoneskin defense, and the support of comprehensive spells, his combat power was even more terrifying than Søren's current transformation!
Unfortunately, he died a little too early.
This guy single-handedly fought more than ten enemies of the same level, and in the end, he was killed by a dimensional anchor.
He fought against twelve enemies and killed more than half of them.
It was a brilliant record. Søren knew that he might not be able to do it now. Those who could become sword saints were very powerful, but they all died too early. In Søren's memory, there didn't seem to be many sword saints who had lived for a long time. Even the legendary sword saint who was worshipped by many in the battle of the golems was beaten to death in the end.
Perhaps the legendary wizards couldn't tolerate these people who could break through their greater defensive force field with a single strike.
If Søren's enemy had a sword saint, he would probably kill them first.
The existence of a sword saint was a threat!
Søren buried himself in analyzing the spell model. The sheets of white paper were filled with densely packed symbols. Level 4 spells were more difficult than any spell he had learned before. If he didn't learn Invisibility at the beginning, he probably wouldn't even have a clue. Greater Invisibility was a multi-layered spell model. The biggest difference between it and Invisibility was that Invisibility would be revealed after an attack, which meant that the spell effect would disappear.
However, Greater Invisibility was still effective after an attack, and the user would still be invisible.
This meant that it was quite difficult to learn. It was much more difficult than other level 4 spells of the same level. Søren could only slowly break it down and calculate the individual spell models for analysis. After the initial analysis of the spell model, Soran's progress began to speed up gradually because the model of Greater Invisibility was developed from Invisibility. However, Invisibility was a single spell model, while Greater Invisibility was an overlapping composite type, which was equivalent to automatically activating the effect of Invisibility after an attack.
This was a very high-end spell circuit system.
This was the dividing line for difficult spells. Starting from level 4 spells, the difficulty of learning would increase exponentially. In the end, it would even extend to the fields of Astrology, Planes, Space, and so on.
The night passed quickly.
Søren rubbed his forehead and stood up. It was almost dawn outside.
He picked up a thick stack of white paper and flipped through it. Then he destroyed some of them. His progress in analyzing the spell model was only about 10%. Although it would definitely speed up as his research deepened, he didn't have much time left. Søren looked at Vivian next to him, raised his hand and stroked her cheek. Then he got up and walked downstairs.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Søren noticed that the Amazon guard at the door had an extra wound on her arm. It wasn't there last night.
There was a battle.
Because he was focused on studying the spell model, Søren lowered his perception of the surroundings. It seemed that these women had fought with some forces last night.
The erotic industry was always a gray area.
The Amazons took such a big piece of cake, so it was normal for someone to trouble them from time to time.
Søren simply took something to eat and then returned to the room. He wasn't interested in poking his nose into other people's business. Søren ate a little, then carefully fed Vivian some water and began to study the spell model again. The little girl basically didn't need to eat. At first, Søren tried to feed her. Unfortunately, she didn't seem to need anything except for drinking water occasionally. Her little face was still very rosy, and she didn't feel hungry at all.
In this regard, Vivian seemed to be stronger than he was now!
Being able to completely sustain her own consumption with energy was already a sign of the legendary realm.
Time passed little by little.
Søren was busy studying Greater Invisibility. Occasionally, the Naga Siren priest would send him messages, and he went out several times during this period. The Amazons seemed to be fighting with a local force. There were sounds of killing and fighting in the streets at night. Søren's move to destroy the Rossad Chamber of Commerce seemed to have caused a new round of shuffling in port Tylon.
The Amazons had a larger territory. They killed a lot of people and got a bigger cake.
It seemed that some people foresaw that the Rossad Chamber of Commerce would never recover from this setback, so many forces were eager to swallow up their trade shares in various fields. Even the forces that belonged to the Church of Storms did not have the slightest pity at this time because they didn't necessarily look up to those who had betrayed their faith. This kind of betrayal for greater interests would make people feel repulsed.
Søren killed a lot of people that night.
But because of his killing, port Tylon had more than ten times the number of casualties in the next week.
There were even small-scale naval battles occurring in the coastal areas.
Chaos arose.
The guards finally couldn't stand it anymore and began to intervene in the competition for the interests of the major forces, allowing them to maintain the superficial order. So the killing began to spread at night.
As for how many people died, it had nothing to do with Soran.
He was happy that he had learned Greater Invisibility in a week. At the same time, he received news that the Rossad Chamber of Commerce's fleet had begun to return the next day.
It was time for the ghost ship to set off!
Søren would intercept them when they returned and bury them all in the sea!
