Chapter 174: Chapter 113: After attaining mastery in divine skills, I got lost as soon as I left the mountain...

The four days at sea passed quickly, and on the ship, he chatted quite a bit with Amute. After the player got stranded on the island, he naturally met Amute.

And he passed the trials to become a Green Knight, now training every day.

Gu Shanhai was not surprised at all that the player had passed the trial. As for the training, it seemed like a long-term quest to acquire skills or talents. There was plenty of time to endure, and to step out as a master, it would take at least three to five years. And then... he bumped into Sea People Manaklavi right after stepping out.

With the player’s current level, he could still cause some trouble on land, but if he were to encounter these transcendent beings, he would almost certainly be killed.

Even Gu Shanhai had to take a big detour to avoid the Sea People Manaklavi.

Amute also complained that the player was too foolish. In the time he had spent with Gu Shanhai, Amute deeply felt the gap between a genius and an ordinary person.

Previously, a single reminder was enough for Gu Shanhai, who could deduce other insights by analogy. In contrast, the player kept repeating the same mistakes without any thought.

Gu Shanhai argued that it wasn’t that the person was stupid, but you didn’t understand players; they are a very powerful species.

Amute also had grievances, especially since the player was of a neutral evil alignment, which bothered him somewhat. Although he showed great respect outwardly, he seemed to have various schemes in mind secretly.

Regarding this, Gu Shanhai could only say it was none of his business. It was Amute who wanted to accept him, although the Green Knights only demanded neutrality.

But he still warned him, if it didn’t work out, find an excuse to kill him or send him away, or even betray him once. Otherwise, it might backfire sooner or later.

The method of betrayal was simple: try to change the player’s alignment so that he would no longer belong to the neutral camp, which would cause his profession to become invalid due to non-compliance with the requirements.

For Gu Shanhai or the natives, this was difficult because they acted from the heart. Players were different; they treated this place just like a game. So they often acted recklessly—once accustomed to it, who knows how their alignments might shift.

So, in reality, it was quite easy to cause players to deviate in their alignments.

Amute said he would think about it, and Gu Shanhai had no more to say. He had already given the warning. If the other party didn’t listen, there was nothing he could do. If it weren’t for the evil alignments, players could be rather nice—even someone like Gu Shanhai, who was chaotic neutral, wasn’t the type to wantonly kill innocents.

But evil was different—it was truly the Evil Path.

"I haven’t upgraded my natural marks for over a year. When I go to Camelot, I might as well consolidate the four marks of cloud, snow, thunder, and forest, and try to consolidate all the remaining marks as soon as possible."

"As for the remaining sixth circle prophetic spells, I can only stabilize them slowly."

Gu Shanhai pondered for a moment, being stalled for so long was indeed problematic.

The first level of natural marks accessed the first circle, the second opened the second circle, third circle, and the third level opened circles four, five, six, the fourth level seven and eight, and the final fifth level was the ninth circle.

With Gu Shanhai’s current situation, stabilizing the fourth circle’s eight prophetic spells seemed difficult. Stabilizing them without using transcendent techniques was possible, but using those techniques would make it challenging.

"But it’s best to stabilize all nine circles of prophetic spells before the arrival of the High Magic Era. Otherwise, as the tide rises, the difficulty will increase too."

Since now, these had all become part of the "Green Emperor Longevity Scripture" Fourth Level·Azure Dragon, the prophetic spells he had stabilized had already become much stronger. They weren’t fixed values but were more like percentages and upgradable.

After the High Magic Era, many previously suppressed abilities would enhance. Like the third circle Druid Divine Skill Fireball Technique, which might not be as powerful as a grenade, but come the real High Magic Era, its power would increase by hundreds of times. At that time, Mafas and others wouldn’t need various transcendent techniques and transcendent equipment to possess great power.

Correspondingly, the prophetic spells would also improve. But this would conflict with Gu Shanhai’s interests. In the High Magic Era, with his current capacity, he could stabilize spells up to the third circle, but could not expect the boost from transcendent techniques, just ordinary boosts.

The increase in power also meant increase in consumption, equivalent to upgrading a level one skill to level ten.

Conversely, in the Low Magic Era, although the skill levels and power were lower, the effects were sufficient. They could gradually regain power as Gu Shanhai grew, which was like enjoying these skills prematurely and then slowly upgrading them back.

This process would highly benefit Gu Shanhai.

"It should be in time." Gu Shanhai estimated the time. He also wouldn’t immediately begin searching for the Holy Grail, as it required many prerequisites, such as Atilis gaining the title of the Red Dragon King and possessing the Lake Sword·Broken Steel, etc.

In his past life, Atilis’s process was quite difficult, mainly because players brought in firearms in their development, and even some kingdoms were usurped by players and ushered into the industrial era, which was utterly absurd.
