Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "The Ancient Martial Arts of the Grass Sect shouldn't be a fire-type spell."
"Have you checked this information?" Li Shuyi was puzzled.
"I guessed," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "In fact, it's a very simple reason. If the Ancient Martial Arts of the Grass Sect is a fire-type spell, why haven't I unlocked the 'Basic' fire-type spell specialty since I've used it so many times in practice and actual combat? I've also never obtained the proficiency of the fire-type spell specialty. "
Li Shuyi suddenly understood and felt a little regretful.
"We can't use these spell-type items for the time being, but we can still exchange a few for emergencies," Bai Xiaowen said.
There were generally two ways for an Awakened to obtain a spell-type specialty.
The first way was to self-study. For example, an Awakened could first learn a combat skill, "Fireball," through a skill book. Through continuous use, they could unlock the fire-type spell mastery specialty (Basic). If used in actual combat, they could quickly practice it to the advanced level, and then slowly increase their proficiency and level.
The second way was to impart knowledge to a spiritual mentor. For example, after entering the Aaron World, the Mage Academy in the northern border of the Lionheart Empire, as long as they passed the entrance test, they could learn different spell-type specializations.
Few Awakened would take the initiative to choose the spiritual mentor because the spell-type specialty served the corresponding spell-type in the combat skill column. As long as there was a corresponding spell-type in the combat skill column, they could unlock the corresponding spell-type specialty by practicing diligently. They did not need to spend precious time and energy in the spiritual realm to ask a spiritual mentor to impart knowledge to them.
The spiritual mentor's imparting method was usually used by "quasi-awakened" with a spell-type specialty when they took on the job-change mission.
Of course, the spiritual mentor's imparting also had a corresponding advantage, which was the speed of leveling up. There was no proficiency requirement, and the spell-type specialty level could be directly raised. However, the spiritual mentor was not a charity. In order to obtain their imparting knowledge, one had to first complete the corresponding mission.
Bai Xiaowen's so-called "emergency" referred to the possibility that he might obtain a summoned creature that could use fire, frost, or arcane spells from the Black Soul Stone in the future.
After turning this page, they came to the last page of the exchange list.
"Hiss … this thing …"
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi widened their eyes.
[Red Dragon's Blood: Special Material. After drinking it, you will obtain a permanent increase in armor and fire resistance. There is a small chance of obtaining an unknown strengthening effect.]
[Green Dragon's Blood: Unique material. Permanently increases Armor and Poison Resistance after consumption. Has a small chance of obtaining unknown strengthening effects.]
[Blue Dragon's Blood: Special material. After consumption, obtain a permanent increase in Armor and Frost Resistance. Has a small chance of obtaining an unknown strengthening effect.]
There were a total of three types of dragon blood, and after the description of each type, there was an additional line of small words:
"Only an ignorant fool would drink it directly."
"This thing … is different from the Earth Dragon blood you obtained before. The Earth Dragon is only a sub-dragon species. Red Dragons, Green Dragons, and Blue Dragons. They're pure giant dragons … "Bai Xiaowen smacked his lips and said," I didn't expect the Resistance Army to be able to bring out such things. "
"Since it's the blood of a giant dragon, it should be much more effective than the Earth Dragon's Blood. When Han Xu drank the Earth Dragon's Blood, it only increased his HP by slightly more than 20 points," Li Shuyi said.
"I'm afraid this thing is not meant to be drunk. Look at the description. Not only does it indicate that it's a special material, but there's also a special line of warning …" Bai Xiaowen said, "I've looked up information on western fantasy backgrounds. Dragon's Blood is a precious material that alchemists dream of obtaining. It can be used to refine many powerful items. The effects will be much better than simply drinking it. Of course, if there's an urgent need to increase one's strength, drinking Dragon's Blood can provide an immediate boost to one's strength. It's not impossible. "
The exchange price of Dragon's Blood was quite high. A bottle cost 10000 merit points, and the exchange required a reputation of at least Reverence.
After looking at the exchange list, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi could be said to be full of fighting spirit.
"The resistance army is really rich after becoming a big force. I want all of them …" Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Let's do the trade permit mission first. As long as we complete it, we'll have a reason to participate in the follow-up mission of the surprise attack on the North County. This is a 'World Main Storyline.' The reward of merit points will definitely be very generous."
…
Satsuma Port was located in the southeastern coastal area of Satsuma Dominion. It was an important port in the Northern Region's Golden Water Route, the Boguyas Strait.
Satsuma Dominion was a peninsula that extended from the Lionheart Continent to the North Sea. Across the Boguyas Strait, it faced Silver Star Island from afar.
Every day, there would be fleets of different sizes going out to sea from Satsuma Port. They would either transport an entire ship of rice to Silver Star Territory in exchange for the corresponding silver ore, or transport an entire ship of aquatic products to North County in exchange for excellent ironware in North County.
"What a bustling place."
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi listened to the calls of the dock workers and saw large ships docking or entering the sea.
"How can we get a trade permit from Satsuma Port to North Sea Port? Our time is very limited … It will take more than ten hours to go back and forth. We only have less than ten hours left, "Li Shuyi said.
"There's no rush." Bai Xiaowen leaned against a corner of the outer wall of Satsuma Port and closed his eyes slightly.
Not long after, Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes and flicked his finger lightly. "There's news of Kitts … Wait, I'll summon him back."
Li Shuyi knew that Bai Xiaowen wanted to use reverse summoning to recall Kitts and then summon him in front of him. Using this method could save a lot of time.
A white light flashed, and Kitts was summoned again and appeared in front of Bai Xiaowen.
"How is it?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Kitts snorted. "Boss, I've already asked around. The trade permit must be stamped by the lords of Satsuma Dominion and North County for it to take effect. And to get the stamps of the lords of these two places, apart from paying the necessary gold and silver, there must be a noble from each of these two places as a guarantor …"
"In other words, we can't get the trade permit through normal channels."
Bai Xiaowen said softly. "Just from here to North County City, it will take two or three days, not to mention the time it will take to get the stamp and return to Pointed Helmet Dominion. It's impossible to do it in 24 hours."
"Then what should we do?" Li Shuyi asked.
"Fortunately, I made more than one preparation. When Kitts was in the city looking for information, I also controlled the shadow assassin to board a ship … "Bai Xiaowen pursed his lips, indicating a large ship docked in a corner of Satsuma Port.
There were several medium-sized ships docked next to the large ship. The insignia carved on the sides of the ships were all the same. It should be a fleet.
"What ship is that? Which family's insignia is it? "
"I'm not sure."
Bai Xiaowen stood up with a smile. "However, it has just docked and is coming from the northwest. In other words, this fleet must have a trade permit."
"Should we snatch it?" Li Shuyi rubbed his palms and looked up at the sky. "We have to wait until night to make a move. It's daytime now, and there are many eyes."
"Snatching it by force is not a wise choice … It would be best if we could steal it. Of course, it's an A-level mission. We might not be so lucky to avoid a battle. Let's go over first. The shadow assassin has already found out the basic layout of the ship. Let's go to the ship to find someone first. "
…
Bafur squatted on the ship, covering his nose and trying to wash a pair of leather boots.
"Oh, this is too smelly! As a noble, Captain Decker looks very handsome, and his body exudes the fragrance of petals. But why are his feet so smelly? "
Bafur whispered, "The captain went to Satsuma Port to attend a banquet. I don't know which lady's bed he will climb into tonight … Lord of Light, I hope that beauty will not faint from the smell."
"It's not a good thing to secretly speak ill of the captain behind his back, Mr. Bafur."
Bafur raised his head in panic, but he saw a man and a woman standing in front of him. They looked very unfamiliar.
"You … who are you? How did you get on the ship? This is the private territory of the Decker Family. Please get off immediately! "
"We're on the same side." Bai Xiaowen smiled. The shadow assassin who had been hiding behind Bafur suddenly appeared, strangled Bafur's neck, and covered his mouth. The cold dagger gently scratched Bafur's Adam's apple.
Bafur felt a wave of fear and couldn't say anything. He could only watch as the man covered in a cloak stretched out a slender white hand from within the cloak.
The light of the four-color spell flashed in Bai Xiaowen's palm.
"Spell switch – Bewitching Spell!"
With a clear ding, Bafur felt his consciousness blur. When he woke up, he already recognized Bai Xiaowen as his master from the bottom of his heart.
Bai Xiaowen turned to Li Shuyi and said, "This person called Bafur isn't very strong, but he's the captain of this ship — Burgani Decker's trusted aide. There's a high chance that he knows about the existence of the trade license. I'll go through his memory fragments first. "
Bai Xiaowen's mental power connected and flipped through Bafur's memories like a big hand.
After being successfully bewitched by the Bewitching Spell, Bafur's memories had become a mess. Most of his memories were lost, leaving only some scattered fragments. Of course, they were the more profound fragments.
Finding the location of the trade license from these fragments required more luck.
After flipping through it, Bai Xiaowen shook his head slightly.
"You didn't find it?" Li Shuyi asked.
"That's not it … The location of the trade license is sealed in the safe in Captain Decker's cabin. And the key to the safe is carried by Captain Decker. "
"Then we still have to find Captain Decker and kill him to get the key."
"It's not that troublesome. Let's go to the captain's cabin first."
Under Bafur's guidance, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi entered the captain's cabin with familiarity. When the crew along the way saw Bafur, they didn't even bother to ask about Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's identities.
"Master, it's this safe," Bafur said mechanically.
The safe was actually a wall cabinet that was embedded in the interior of the cabin.
"The door, including the embedded safe, is made of extremely hard Phoebe zhennan wood, which is an excellent material for conducting magic. Do you see the inscribed runes? It's a magic seal. "
Bai Xiaowen's finger gently brushed the lock of the safe. "According to the description of Bafur's memory fragments, if we use violent means to deal with the treasure chest, it will trigger the magic seal alarm."
Li Shuyi: "Xiaowen, don't keep us in suspense … Is there any other way besides fighting with Captain Decker?"
Bai Xiaowen chuckled and said to Bafur, "Do you know where the ammunition depot is?"
Bafur nodded. "In the lower cabin."
"Take the shadow assassin to the ammunition depot and detonate the powder keg." After Bai Xiaowen gave this order, Bafur turned around and left without hesitation. The shadow assassin turned invisible and followed behind.
Only Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were left in the captain's cabin.
Bai Xiaowen stretched out an index finger and drew a square around the safe on the cabin wall, encircling the entire safe.
"Shuyi, cut open this wall."
"You want to take away the whole safe?" Li Shuyi pulled out the Red Leaf Overlord's Glory Sword and forcefully inserted it into the wooden cabin wall. Then he began to cut along the lines drawn by Bai Xiaowen.
"Yes. Just in case, I want to blow up this ship! " Bai Xiaowen said. "From the perspective of the resistance army, they definitely don't want the trade permit to be leaked before they launch a surprise attack on the North County. Therefore, the later the news of the theft of the trade permit is exposed, the higher our completion rate should be! "
Of course, even if the trade permit was stolen, the nobles of Port Satsuma might not suspect the resistance army. Even if they had suspicions, they might not be able to report it before the resistance army arrived at the North County.
In other words, it was feasible to use violent means to kill Captain Decker and steal the trade permit in this A-rank mission as long as it was not too blatant and exposed the identity of the resistance army.
Of course, the difficulty of the violent route was definitely higher than the route chosen by Bai Xiaowen, and the completion rate would be lower.
Li Shuyi slashed her sword four times in a row, penetrating the wall of the cabin and taking out the safe embedded in the wall. Because the safe was not damaged, the magic alarm seal was not triggered.
"What should we do now? Taking the safe is not a problem, but how do we unlock the seal and get the trade permit without triggering the alarm? "Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen laughed and put the safe into the storage dimension. "This is the problem Usok needs to solve."
"Ah?"
Before Li Shuyi could react, he received a mission notification.
"A-rank Side Mission: Trade Permit completed. Please find the leader of the resistance army, Usok, to submit the mission. "
"That's it?" Li Shuyi was stunned.
