With a "Pa", the cat's paw was already firmly latched onto the side of the boat. Ye Ci tugged at the hemp rope in her hands with all her might. Feeling that it was rather difficult to explain, she used both her hands and legs to grab onto the hemp rope, intending to climb over. Once she was on the hemp rope, she said to Finley who was still standing by the shore: "Hurry up and get on! Let's go over together! "
"No! Finley would never do something so dangerous. "This NPC had also gotten excited at this moment, and he shrieked as he rejected Ye Ci's offer. Ye Ci looked down, and it was no wonder that he shrieked. The distance from the top to the bottom was still rather far, and anyone with a slight fear of heights would feel dizzy. Not to mention someone like Finley who was both afraid of death and water.
Alright, in order to complete the quest, in order to obtain the remaining two chests, Ye Ci was still extremely patient, extremely caring, and even very kind to compromise. She climbed back to the shore, squatted down, and patted her shoulder, indicating for Finley to climb up. Finley did not stand on ceremony, and immediately climbed up.
Good heavens, Finley was not big, but he was not light. Ye Ci carried him on her shoulder, and immediately received a notification: "You are carrying too much weight, your movement speed has been reduced by 30%."
Sure enough, when she started moving, her footsteps became much slower. Fortunately, this was not a PK, so it did not matter if her speed was slower. Following the same pattern, she once again climbed onto the rope, and with a 'hehehehe' sound, she looked like a worm that was constantly crawling forward. Halfway through their journey, Finley shouted, "Aiya, my hands are sore!"
Then, Ye Ci stared dumbstruck as this guy immediately let go, and with a splash, he fell into the sea below.
[Quest failed, please accept the quest and try again.] The system notification immediately rang out, announcing that Ye Ci had done a laughably useless task.
Ye Ci was stunned for a moment, then let go of the rope and jumped into the water. Finley was no longer in the water, and he had already returned to his house. What the hell was this!
After swimming ashore, Ye Ci headed straight for Finley's house. This time, they did not waste any more time talking to each other, and directly went to Finley to accept the quest. There were no monsters along the way, so they quickly reached the shore again.
Ye Ci tied the cat's paw once more and hung it on the side of the boat. She then found a thin rope and tied Finley firmly onto her back before getting on the rope. However, her luck was not as good this time. When she was halfway through the climb, the part where the hemp rope was connected to the cat's paw broke. Ye Ci and Finley, who was on her back, fell into the water with a splash. Once again, the mission failed.
After experiencing two failed missions, Ye Ci carefully checked every single detail on her third attempt at the pier. From the rope's sturdiness to whether Finley was behaving properly, she carefully checked everything before getting on the rope. After a long and arduous climb, she finally made it safely onto the deck of the boat. There were many sailors bustling about on the boat, and the moment they saw Ye Ci, they all abandoned what they were doing and rushed forward with their weapons, determined to fight it out with her.
Now that she was carrying Finley on her back, Ye Ci did not have time to put him down. Her movement speed was pathetically slow, so she had no choice but to summon The Fourth Prince and use it as a shield in front of her. She could only stand behind the Fourth Prince and deal damage. Fortunately, she was standing close to the side of the boat. This way, at least her back would be safe. She only needed to face the sailors in front of her and knock them down.
The sailors on the deck were all small monsters. Although they had high HP and high ATK, with the Epic-tier baby The Fourth Prince standing in front of them, they were still unable to withstand a single blow. An Epic-tier creature was not on the same level as the average elite monster.
Ye Ci suddenly felt that her choice to develop her Pet Attribute Points first was the correct one. If she were to encounter this situation again and her Pet Attribute Points were too low, even an Epic-tier creature would not be able to withstand the attacks of so many elite monsters.
She opened her Talent Panel and used her remaining 7 Talent Points to add to her Pet Attribute Talents. Thick Skin, Nimble, Lacerate, Bleed, Swift and Violent were all Pet Attributes. As long as she added more, the Fourth Prince's attack would be even more overpowered. Her own Shooting Attributes could be adjusted according to her equipment and skills, but the Fourth Prince did not have these, so she could only rely on her Talent. Fortunately, she had more Talent Points than the others, otherwise, she would not have been able to spend them like this.
Soon, the swarm of small monsters had all fallen at the feet of the Fourth Prince. He appeared to be very pleased with himself as he swung his gigantic, murderous tail at Ye Ci, all for the sake of trading some of his favorite roasted quail. Ye Ci took out a few roasted quails and threw them to the Fourth Prince. She then raised her arm to touch the fourth Prince's hard skin and sighed. The Fourth Prince, you're really not suited to acting cute. Your acting cute is actually very scary ….
By the time the Fourth Prince had eaten his fill, his Loyalty towards Ye Ci had increased by 2 points. He was only 8 points away from 100 points. The higher his Loyalty, the more docile he became. Now, it was rare for him to refuse to fight in a battle.
After putting Finley down, the three of them followed the stairs from the deck into the cabin. As soon as they entered the cabin, they were immediately besieged by a group of small monsters. This time, with Finley healing them, it was even easier than before. In the easternmost part of the cabin, there was a room known as the Captain's Room. The treasure chest was placed there. However, the monsters guarding the treasure chest were very fierce. It was a pity that they were all alone and did not have any overpowered skills. This kind of BOSS would usually end up as food.
He quickly fell to the ground. After plundering a few dozen gold coins from his body, Ye Ci rubbed her hands together as she opened the treasure chest behind him.
There were only three items in the treasure chest. One was the Gale Necklace, while the other two were quest items. Ye Ci was a little speechless. Was she really that unlucky?
Fortunately, the Gale Necklace was a Purple Item. Its attributes were very simple, with only two attributes. However, it was very useful for Ye Ci.
Gale Necklace
Purple Item
Movement Speed + 15%
Attack Speed + 1 second
Of the two attributes, Ye Ci was more interested in the latter one. The fastest equipment she had seen that increased attack speed was only 0.7 seconds. But this necklace actually increased attack speed by 1 second. That was simply heaven-defying. In Fate, attack speed affected attack frequency, and attack frequency affected accumulated damage.
Take two-handed weapons and daggers for example. Two-handed weapons usually had an attack speed of 3.0, while daggers usually had an attack speed of 1.5. In other words, a dagger could attack twice in the time it took for a two-handed weapon to attack once. Therefore, the weapon attack value attached to a two-handed weapon would be at least 50% higher than a dagger's attack value. If she had this necklace, the attack speed of two-handed weapons would be reduced from 3.0 to 2.0. This meant that her attack frequency would be greatly increased, and the damage dealt would be self-evident.
Ye Ci's main weapons were daggers, short swords, and long ranged crossbows. These weapons usually had an attack speed of 1.5 to 2.5. If she equipped this necklace, Ye Ci could not help but feel excited when she imagined the damage she would be able to deal. Although such a high attack frequency would consume a lot of arrows for a crossbow, it was not a problem for Ye Ci. She was one of the few Hunters in Fate who was self-sufficient.
After equipping the Gale Necklace, Ye Ci picked up the remaining two quest items and examined them carefully.
The first letter was written by a man named Jean Frey. The letter was very long, and Ye Ci was too lazy to finish reading it. She only skimmed through the letter and saw a quest request written on it. Bring this letter back to His Majesty the King of Champion City.
It was just an errand quest. Ye Ci did not pay much attention to it and casually placed it into her inventory. When she picked up the other quest item, Ye Ci could not help but feel excited.
What did it mean to search high and low for something, only to find it by chance?
Perhaps the thing she was holding in her hand right now was a stark illustration of this sentence.
Dau 'er's Map Fragment.
These were the words written on the broken piece of parchment in her hands. Aside from a few strange broken lines, there was nothing strange about the parchment. If she wanted to know what was written on it, she would have to find all the fragments of the map.
Ever since she received the quest regarding the Elven King Dau 'er's Map Fragment from Nadasha, she had never seen such a strange item. Half a year had passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Ci had even forgotten about the quest's existence. But after picking up this fragment today, Ye Ci's confidence in the quest that she had almost forgotten about was immediately reignited.
The place where the Elven King Dau 'er's soul was sealed …
Just the thought of it was enough to make her excited.
With an excited heart, Ye Ci carried Finley and climbed back onto the wooden planks of the pier from the cat's claw on the side of the ship. After retracting her cat's claw, Ye Ci carried Finley on her back and walked towards the gigantic statue at the pier.
The statue was of a human. He was holding a longsword with both hands, which was stabbed into the ground in front of him. His face was looking into the distance with a determined expression. He was wearing armor and a cape. As if a gust of wind had blown past, his hair and cape fluttered violently. All in all, the statue was very lifelike.
However, this was a huge challenge for Ye Ci. Firstly, her cat's claw was not long enough for her to hook onto his shoulder in one go, so she could only climb up bit by bit. Secondly, Finley was really annoying. He kept yelling behind her back that he was scary, causing Ye Ci to have a headache.
In the end, she snarled and threatened Finley, warning him that if he continued to yell, she would stab him to death with a single stab. Finley finally behaved himself. All that was left was to find a way to climb up this smooth statue.
For a moment, Ye Ci missed her past life. Back in her previous life, when there were so many Master Engineers around. She could just buy a small plane and fly into the skies. How wonderful would that be?
