The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low profile

Chapter 75: Skill Enhancement - Countess of the Reflected Image!

Although the desired target was not obtained in three consecutive attempts.

However, the third attempt yielded a complete exclusive forbidden technique. After burning it, the precipitated skill power was invested into the Doom Orb.

The Doom Orb underwent a transformation.

Dual Ring · Doom Orb: LV1 (14%)

The "Dual Ring" characteristic is simple and direct, increasing Zaun's casting consumption to a certain extent, but also doubling the power of the "Doom Orb".

"The level 1 Doom Orb itself is already powerful, and adding a dual ring to double its characteristics..."

"For a transcendent of the same level, a fully charged Doom Orb will either kill or cripple them."

Looking at the enhanced version of the Dual Ring · Doom Orb, Zaun thought to himself.

This is the benefit of rare and powerful "Forbidden Blood".

It can help transcendents obtain more powerful [Exclusive Forbidden Techniques] while also guaranteeing the strengthening of skills.

It is precisely because of the powerful characteristics of "Forbidden Blood" that even after becoming stronger, obtaining Forbidden Blood will not be easy.

"Continue!"

Zaun continued to consume the "Exclusive Forbidden Technique · Skill Potion".

The fourth and fifth attempts were unsuccessful.

It wasn't until the sixth potion that Zaun finally obtained the powerful [Exclusive Forbidden Technique] he desired.

Superior · Serpent's Eye (Exclusive Forbidden Technique): LV0

Carefully examining this exclusive forbidden technique from a superior being.

Zaun's expression turned slightly solemn.

This is a very powerful forbidden technique, which ordinary transcendents prefer to call a "forbidden spell".

As he inscribed this exclusive forbidden technique into the [Evil Spirit Warlock] sequence.

An even more powerful visual force spread out from Zaun himself as the center.

The passive visual power of the Superior · Serpent's Eye further strengthened the warlock's control over the surrounding world.

When casting this powerful forbidden technique, Zaun could capture many difficult-to-detect traces.

For example... the location where those "evil spirits" who died at Zaun's hands were resurrected, and the direction in which they fled.

Using the Superior · Serpent's Eye to capture the traces of fleeing enemies was always accurate.

The [Superior · Serpent's Eye] exclusive forbidden technique could also be used to discern hidden enemies in the surrounding area.

As the [Superior · Serpent's Eye] stabilized, the ripples and agitation in Zaun's sequence calmed down.

Obtaining this powerful exclusive forbidden technique [Superior · Serpent's Eye] was not without a price.

When Zaun advanced to level four, the [Evil Spirit Warlock] would no longer gain skills.

The [Fighter] would not be affected.

Lost in thought, Zaun focused his attention on the many skills on the attribute panel.

The fourth and fifth potions still had some skill characteristics precipitated.

After a moment of consideration, Zaun invested them into "Basic · Skull Crushing Fist".

Investing two skill characteristics into other skills might not lead to a transformation.

But investing them into this "Basic · Skull Crushing Fist" certainly would.

With the investment, a brand new skill went online.

Spirit Shattering · Skull Crushing Fist: LV1 (84%)

"Not bad, not bad!"

Looking at this transformation effect, Zaun nodded slightly.

Basic · Skull Crushing Fist has several directions for advancement.

Armor breaking, heavy blow, astral dragon, spirit shattering, etc.

If you want to break through in a specific direction, you need to take professional skill potions and undergo specialized training, which can perfectly guide it out.

Random transformations like Zaun's depend on luck.

This time, Zaun's luck was good.

The "Spirit Shattering" characteristic can better break energy barriers and has a certain degree of restraint against shields, energy defenses, and so on.

Not to mention the late stage, even in the mid-stage, fighters will be relatively weak against casters.

But with this "Spirit Shattering · Skull Crushing Fist".

The [Fighter] can extend their strong period for some time.

At the same time, this will strengthen the fighter's strength in the level 3, 4, and 5 stages.

And this is exactly what Zaun needs.

Zaun needs to use his [Fighter] identity to play a role in the current official system.

If Zaun's prediction is correct, this time Zaun will need to use it to find that Reflected Image Countess.

Closing the attribute panel, Zaun carefully put away the remaining two skill potions.

Using them after a higher level will have a better effect.

With two or three, there is hope to obtain the powerful forbidden technique he wants.

Whether it's "Blood Mist Gate" or "Serpent Scale Armor", these are all exclusive forbidden techniques.

They are all hidden deep within this skill potion.

Like that [Mad Warlock] and the Rat King, Butch, they both obtained this ability by connecting to the Forbidden Blood.

To use it, you must activate the Forbidden Blood.

The more you use it, the more you will sink into madness.

Zaun's method of extracting skill potions and solidifying skills in the sequence system is the correct way to use them.

…………

Early morning.

After practicing several sets of Skull Crushing Fist, Zaun began to enjoy breakfast.

The Spirit Shattering · Skull Crushing Fist didn't have too many changes compared to the previous Basic · Skull Crushing Fist.

It's just that a layer of condensed astral energy is integrated into the flesh and blood, erupting with Zaun's fist, with stronger destructive power and strong spirit shattering characteristics.

The attack moves of the Skull Crushing Fist are still the same, but how to use them depends on the [Fighters]' own comprehension.

While having breakfast.

Zaun also checked the situation in Augran City and continental events during this period through the Augran Steam Daily.

After entering July.

The War Council of the Holy Smann Empire wanted to further consolidate the empire's steam battleship hegemony on the ocean.

They promulgated the "World Maritime Law" that was beneficial to them and occupied many crucial sea lanes.

However, the "Holy Grelle Empire" in the Northern Territory and several new empires that rose with the steam tide in the southern region of the continent obviously did not agree.

Therefore, both the "Holy Grelle Empire" and the alliance of several empires in Southern Border are working hard to "build ships".

Bigger, faster, and stronger steam battleships!

This is the theme of the rise of the steam tide and the age of great nautical exploration.

The shadow of war gradually gathered and became heavier and heavier.

If it were in other countries closer to the ocean, they would definitely be able to feel the atmosphere of war.

However, the inland country that is not close to the sea, the Republic of "Otanston", which is adjacent to the dangerous mist, can temporarily enjoy a moment of peace.

It is worth mentioning that there has been more discussion about the "Sun Cult" and the "Evil Spirit Cataclysm" in Augran City during this period.

It is said that some "reliable" inside information says that the [Evil Spirit · Theurgist] of the "Sun Cult" used powerful theurgical power to descend the [Evil Spirit Cataclysm], intending to shake the authority of the Holy Sun."

Whether it is true or not is another matter.

But someone in the Holy Sun Church obviously believed it.

The church has been investigating the [Sun Cult] during this period.

They even uprooted a few not-so-important strongholds.

Although there has been no key progress, it can also be seen that the [Sun Cult] is indeed deeply cultivating Augran City.

The change in the strategic direction of the Holy Sun Church, aiming at the [Sun Cult].

This is naturally very good for Zaun.

Of course, Zaun will not be careless because of this.

The investigation of evil spirits is still ongoing, and he still needs to completely make the [Sun Cult] and the "Holy Sun Church" fight to the death.

After breakfast.

Zaun got into the carriage and went to the bay area.

This time, Zaun was looking for Mrs. Mabel Isaiah, the powerful [Reflected Image Person] with a level 5 sequence rank.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ novel ⊥ is ⊥ first ⊥ published ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥!

…………

Bay Area, 12 Three Month Bay Street.

Inside the spacious and luxurious castle hall.

A young maid brought up delicious pastries and steaming morning tea.

"Please enjoy!"

When Zaun visited just now, the butler informed him that he needed to wait until noon.

For the "Countess" who owns the title of Earl.

Zaun's visit as an "ordinary person" without any status was allowed because the butler in his early forties was also a transcendent. He felt that Zaun was a transcendent, and Zaun took out the Clover Club business card.

Otherwise, he would have to wait outside.

This castle with a medieval frame structure is wider than Zaun's manor.

Zaun's "manor" is actually just a slightly larger detached villa, plus a slightly wider courtyard around it.

But it's not on the same level as an earl who owns his own castle.

Of course, it can be called a "manor" mainly because, near the mist area, the Corrick family really has a manor used for production.

Through the wide windows, you can see the sparkling Three Month Bay, and you can see the docks where many merchant ships are moored not far away.

You can also hear the low and melodious whistle of the steamship.

Steam trains, steamships, and steam airships.

These three steam kits are the threshold for a country to officially master steam power.

Steam telegraph machines, steam towers, and steam magic pools.

These are further steam · transcendent technologies.

Currently, the three steam kits have been widely used on the Holy Relic Continent.

Steam telegraph machines and steam towers have also been used on a small scale.

Drinking tea and eating snacks.

Zaun leisurely digested the food, absorbed astral energy, and waited quietly.

When he came in, he saw Mrs. Mabel's reflection walking in the depths of reality from the hazy reflection on the ground.

Obviously, Mrs. Mabel knew that Zaun had come in, and he just needed to wait quietly.

Soon, noon arrived.

Footsteps sounded on the stairs.

"Greetings, Madam Mabel, good morning!"

Zaun got up to greet her.

He was wearing the standard formal dress for young nobles visiting.

Mrs. Mabel clamped a cigarette holder, smoking one cigarette after another, and the smoke formed a cloud around her.

She sat down in front of Zaun.

Mrs. Mabel's silver eyes looked Zaun up and down.

"Your sequence level is growing very fast, almost level three."

Her soft, smoky voice was impressive.

"Speak! What do you want from me!"

The Reflecting Image Person has a strong power to see through people's hearts.

Zaun did not hide anything, and explained one by one his desire to recruit witches to open a steam potion factory.

"Witches are believers of the Holy Sun. Perhaps you can talk to the bishop of the church."

Mrs. Mabel stated calmly.

Now the Holy Sun Church even wants to curb the official power, how can it tolerate witches entering Augran City on a large scale?

"I know, but they are just entering Augran City to study, research, and work in the field of potion science."

"For hundreds of thousands of years, 'witch potions' have had various legends on the Holy Relic Continent."

"If the Augran City Witch Potion Factory makes a name for itself, it will bring more prosperity to the entire Augran City's commerce."

Mrs. Mabel was unmoved by Zaun's explanation.

Obviously, she also has some understanding of the potion industry.

It's not like just letting some witches in can research potions that are selling well on the continent.

Without enough profit, it's not worth the risk of offending the church.

Zaun took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Without taking out a trump card and enough benefits, this Mrs. Mabel will obviously not allow it.

"Do you know about the plague-clearing potion some time ago?"

Zaun slowly opened his mouth.

"Of course I've heard of it. This potion successfully helped Augran City curb the potential plague."

"Some time ago, my niece, Valerie, was rescued by you. She also thoughtfully sent over a batch of plague-clearing potions, which have amazing effects on ordinary people, and even... for level one transcendents, they also have quite good effects, after some pollution..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Mabel suddenly realized something.

Her silver eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze fell on Zaun.

"This... you made it?"

"More precisely, it was researched by my alchemists and witches."

Zaun responded.

"Furthermore, this potion has also brought me a generous return."

After examining Zaun for a moment, Mrs. Mabel spoke again.

"Can I know approximately how much?"

"About... 30,000 gold pounds!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Mabel's body trembled slightly imperceptibly.

30,000 gold pounds is still an amazing fortune for her.

And this was only created in two months.

The gold pound, this devil, makes people's hearts flutter!

Mrs. Mabel, whose thoughts were spinning rapidly, leaned back slightly.

"You know... if I am willing to protect the witches, it will cost a lot!"

Hearing this, Zaun couldn't help but smile.

When you start talking about costs, then things are already done!

The only problem is how much it will cost.
