The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Moonlight felt a little drunk, and his fingers tapped the bar table unconsciously: "The Sun Wheel Ceremony is a key method for senior Kings to gain Ace-level soul strength."

"The cost is NZD 9,900, and a Class B Mystical Heritage."

Compared with the priceless market of A-level, B-level is the highest level of mysterious heritage that can be measured by price.

The price of Grade B fluctuates from NZ$4,000 to NZ$6,000, and the price has been on the rise recently.

B-level heritage is very likely to be contaminated or cursed. If it is to be purified, it will be a huge investment.

Therefore, the investment in a sun wheel ceremony is more than 14,000 New Zealand dollars.

"What about the pass rate?"

Moonlight replied, "About 8%."

"It costs more than 10,000 New Zealand dollars, but the success rate is less than 10%?" Sean blinked.

Yueguang sighed: "Being Ace-level is difficult.

"They are the top powerhouses in the industry, and they are the existences who can solve the crisis of the angel descending level alone..."

Sean has to admit that he, who has the root of God, seems to involuntarily imagine the road to strength improvement is too smooth and simple: "If you want to have top-level strength, even if you have the reliance on growth, you also need top-level efforts. …”

"What," Moonlight patted Sean on the shoulder, "Have you got the motivation to make money?"

Sean was lost in thought.

It can be asserted now that there is only one way for him to fight against Judas Ring and save Arya - to become a powerful explorer.

And one of the ways to obtain Ace-level strength is paved by New Zealand banknotes.

"Since that's the case..." Sean's heart was burning with the desire to "make money".

"Don't think about it for now," Moonlight raised the glass that was filled again by the bartender, "To our captain of this Undercurrent Street trip, Ms. Katherine Haley."

"To Katherine Haley."

"She has exquisite acting skills, with Queen-level strength and the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, she shocked and retreated Finks, reached the tactical goal that can only be achieved by King level or above, and brought us back from the situation of certain death... "

Ding, the glasses collided, both men were expecting her to wake up early.

"Second cup, to you, my friend..." Moonlight has learned of the miraculous reversal that Sean made in the Brimstone Tavern, "You have an extremely smart mind and an extremely strong heart, with an unimaginable kind of mind. strategy, defeated an unimaginable foe, and won the life of our party—and even completed the mission along the way.

"Fuck, Sean, it's really yours." Unable to contain his excitement, Moonlight cursed with a swear word.

Ding! The two raised their heads and drank.

Sean raised the glass for the third time: "And you, Moonlight 1902, my most loyal friend.

"You disregarded your own safety and put yourself into the most dangerous situation. In order to win, you almost lost your life...

"It is because of your actions that I have the inspiration to solve the trouble..."

"Respect you!"

Ding! Moonlight smiled and shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied with his performance, and drank it fiercely.

Blowing out a smell of alcohol, they both fell silent for a while when they remembered the experience of Undercurrent Street.

Although the bartender did not participate in their journey, he also showed admiration and appreciation after hearing the toast next to him.

Sean pondered for a while, then raised his glass again: "To the man who didn't come back - Poker Man, Henry."

"To Henry."

"Although he almost killed us, his fate is still pitiful...

"May his lost soul find a way back - God favors explorers."

"God favors explorers."

Ding... softly. The fourth cup, drink up.

Drunk on the rise, feeling good.

Taking advantage of the wine, Moonlight walked over to the upright piano placed by the wall and began to play with enthusiasm.

is a relaxed improvisational piece, the melody makes people smile inadvertently.

The guests at the tavern seemed to be enjoying his playing, and the fingers and toes could not stop tapping.

After Moonlight returned to the bar again, Sean asked the question he had been thinking about: "Explorers have a hierarchy of comprehensive strength. What about soul strength? Is there a similar level?"

After Sean was promoted to the Jack level, he did not continue to contact the knowledge related to soul and spirituality, so there is still a blind spot in this knowledge.

"With Divine Root, the use of spiritual qualities becomes simple and convenient, but the accumulation of basic knowledge is neglected." Sean reflected, "It is necessary to make up for it later, or else you may commit some spiritual rituals that you don't even know about. A low-level error."

When Sean asked the question, the bartender Steve happened to be standing next to him, Moonlight and the bartender both laughed, the pianist said, "Sean, Steve is both the bartender of this century-old tavern and an excellent spiritual teacher.

"I happened to chat with Steve about this before. The soul strength rating agreed by the association is really boring, it's almost like it was designed by an accountant!

"However, Steve has a wonderful theory, and it's much more interesting to understand soul intensity according to his theory."

After speaking, Moonlight made a gesture of invitation. With interest, the fish-eyed Steve took out seven bullet cups of the same size from under the bar.

"These..." Steve ordered an empty wine glass, "These are our bodies."

While talking, Steve took the kettle next to him and poured a glass of water into the empty cup on the far left, handed it to Sean, and motioned him to drink it.

Sean drank the tasteless water and looked at each other questioningly. Steve smiled and said: "Just now is the soul of ordinary people, there is no concentration at all, as indifferent as water..."

With that said, he picked up the second glass and poured beer: "This is the explorer who first came into contact with meditation and spiritual practice. Their souls have become larger and 'richer' than ordinary people. However, the concentration is still limited. , they still can't use spiritual essence, and they don't have the ability to see spiritually."

In the third cup, Steve poured red wine: "Some excellent Jack-level, due to talent or hard work, the concentration of the soul has increased to a higher level, no longer a dull beer, but has become a very tasty the wine…”

Moonlight added: "At this level, you will be able to perform spiritual vision, the spiritual quality will also have some changes, and the functions will also show special features due to the improvement of the soul. We belong to the wine level, but your glass of wine, higher than mine..."

Sean probably understands Steve's theory - the strength of the soul is divided according to the concentration of alcohol!

The corners of his mouth rise: It is indeed a very fresh and interesting theory.

"The wine goes up..." The amber liquor was poured into the glass, "Honey wine."

"The soul strength of most Queen-level explorers is mead. They have steel-like nerves, and ordinary fright and terror can no longer affect them. The extension and function of the spiritual substance have become further powerful, and it can cover a Buildings, their functions have also become very powerful - when they are doing what they are good at, their performance is obviously beyond ordinary people, and they even have to suppress and hide, otherwise they may cause panic among others."

Sean knows that Steve's metaphorical theory of comparing the soul to wine is vivid, but not rigorous.

After listening to his description, Sean felt that he should have been between wine and more intense mead... "Mead?" Sean swallowed, imagining the taste of this non-existent wine, "It sounds like It was delicious…”

When pouring the fifth cup, Moonlight said solemnly: "The next step is the strong gin, with a higher concentration. This is generally the soul strength of the King level, but some powerful Queen levels have also entered this category.

"If they are esoteric-dominant explorers, they will become like wizards with powerful mana in ancient legends..."

Sean remembered the dream-stealing professor Leiman... If you can border on the dream of an angel, isn't he a powerful wizard?

"The function has become superb, and can do some things that are comparable to gods in the eyes of ordinary people."

"Catherine?" Sean nodded unconsciously.

"That's right." Moonlight agreed.

Before the eyes of the two of them, in the thick fog, a red lone peak wearing a bronze crown appeared...

"Catherine's soul has reached the level of strong gin."

"Next, it's the sixth level..." Steve's expression also became focused and serious, he took out a glass bottle covered with barnacles, coral and algae, "This bottle was fished from a sunken ship on the bottom of the sea. good things, count me as inviting you..."

He carefully poured this precious bottle of wine into the cup. It was the color of gold, and the cup was like a piece of crystal yellow jade...

"Golden Tequila..." Steve's eyes blurred, "Sweet like a summer night's dream, hot like a burning sunset in the sky..."

"Powerful King-level, and some Ace-level strength."

"Just a glance can shatter the fragile soul, the soul can fill a block, and the function has entered an incredible realm."

Moonlight made a gesture of invitation. Sean picked up the golden agave and sipped it down. A stream of heat entered his belly from his mouth, and the fragrant fragrance lingered for a long time...

"Good wine." Sean took a sip, obviously getting a little more drunk.

"Finally..." Steve took a few steps back, walked around to the back of the wine cabinet, and took out a metal box with engraved decorations. After opening it, there was a small glass bottle with a very ancient shape.
