Chapter 167: Steam-Powered Lighthouse Angel!

Corner of the upstairs room.

Ta Ke rummaged through the items he had scavenged from that second-rank assassin.

The supernatural storage bracelet is tiny.

Inside are just over thirty magic gold, a few potion bottles, the potions all drunk, leaving only empty bottles.

Seeing this, Ta Ke couldn't help shaking his head.

This is what many ordinary-strength supernaturals in Saint Laurent originally look like.

If you say he's poor,

his daily food and drink are not a worry.

Even if he lies flat, he can live very comfortably.

But if you say he's wealthy,

he doesn't have much magic gold to speak of.

He might not even have the money for promotion materials.

In fact, this is how many supernaturals are.

Nowadays, with the popularization of the supernatural sequence,

many supernaturals who master the supernatural sequence are essentially ordinary people.

Their level likely will remain in the apprenticeship period for life.

Or, with a little extra wealth, buying ordinary materials to become an ordinary first-rank supernatural.

However, this second-rank scout still has something.

That is……

This guy actually caught a magical creature from somewhere.

Although its bloodline doesn't look very pure and its condition isn't great,

this guy genuinely has the bloodline of a magical creature.

About the size of two fists, it should be chubby but is actually thin.

It can't be said to be extremely similar to a platypus in appearance; it can only be said to look exactly like a platypus.

Even when kept inside the magical pet bag, its hind legs remain bound by magical chains.

Whether it's this magical pet bag or the magical creature inside, it's clearly not the work of that assassin.

"Stolen?"

"Or picked up?"

Examining the tiny magical creature inside the pet bag, Ta Ke even felt that this little guy, in the assassin's hands, wouldn't live long.

"Magical creatures aren't raised like this."

Ta Ke silently shook his head, then promptly stored the pet bag beneath his wizard robe.

Turning around, Ta Ke looked at the simply decorated, modest little house.

Sofa, fireplace, bookshelf, weapon rack, armor cabinet—everything is there.

Even at the entrance, there is a rather exquisite little liquor cabinet.

At this moment, Xi Luoer was inside adjusting the drinks.

"Would you like a drink?"

"I've had enough downstairs, uh… let's have a cup of clear sake!"

Afterwards, Ta Ke rubbed his fingers and flicked them into the fireplace.

"Whoosh!"

The flames blazed up.

In places farther from the furnace's fire path, it's still rather cold.

And here on La Moer Long Street, it's farther from the furnace's fire path.

"Really?"

Xi Luoer, who brought up the drinks, asked with a bit of interest.

"What?" Ta Ke was a little confused.

"Today's newspaper, everyone's talking about that matter, S-rank supernatural talent."

As expected, gossip is women's nature.

Even Xi Luoer is no exception.

Ta Ke picked up the glass cup, took a slight sip, then said.

"About half right!"

"So that really is S-rank supernatural talent?" Xi Luoer raised her eyebrows instantly.

"Well… sort of!"

Ta Ke's words were somewhat vague, but Xi Luoer didn't mind too much.

After all, leaking even a word about this is a major taboo for supernaturals.

S-rank supernatural talent, once it appears, will cause an uproar throughout the Aogu Shuangxing Supernatural Realm.

Moreover, the supernatural who possesses this dual S-rank supernatural talent is none other than the blasphemer Ta Ke.

Looking at this Ta Ke whose appearance has been completely changed,

Xi Luoer also understood why Ta Ke could have such formidable means and strength.

S-rank supernatural talent.

The last time it appeared in the Aogu Shuangxing Supernatural Realm was about ten years ago.

S-rank supernatural talent is really too scarce, too scarce.

After briefly composing his thoughts, Xiluo'er slowly began to speak.

"I estimate this afternoon, at the latest tomorrow, that High Tower Lord will surely summon me again; then he will surely inquire about these matters."

"First, I'll get some information from you, so I can later give an account."

"Moreover..."

Xiluo'er paused, then looked at Ta Ke seriously and said.

"The lighthouse to be built on Lamo'er Changjie must have the Angel Sequence's characteristics, as you requested; the superiors have approved it!"

Approved?

Ta Ke's eyebrows rose instantly, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

After Xiluo'er previously explained the Steam Lighthouse Plan to Ta Ke,

Ta Ke realized that this Holy Light Lighthouse might be the key to guiding the Angel Sequence power within his body.

After all, this Steam Lighthouse being constructed combines the power of the entire Saili'ensi Duchy.

By studying the Supernatural Sequence.

Ta Ke learned many characteristics of the Angel Sequence and the incredible power of the Kingdom's Crown.

Moreover, he learned that the power of many Steam Towers can trigger deep supernatural abilities.

A third-stage breakthrough at level 30.

This is an opportunity for Ta Ke to awaken powerful Angel Sequence abilities.

Ta Ke naturally needs to seize this opportunity.

Nowadays, as his strength gradually increases.

Within the Shenglande region, Ta Ke also gradually entered an active state.

He can seek better development of his strength.

Moreover, the fact that he cooperated with Xiluo'er to destroy the Blood Clan Castle cannot be concealed.

Thus, after learning of the Lighthouse Plan, Ta Ke explained his requirements to Xiluo'er.

For example, the lighthouse built on Lamo'er Changjie will receive a certain amount of Holy Light imbued with the Angel Sequence.

This request is not excessive.

After all, it is only a portion of the Angel Sequence's power, not the full sequence.

Ta Ke believes Shenglande should still have some of these resources.

And Shenglande's feedback is indeed as such.

"My Angel Sequence itself grows as a seed within the Steam Sequence."

When advancing to the third stage, consume one portion of third-stage Holy Light material.

Then, activate and draw some of the Angel Sequence's power from within the lighthouse.

This will allow me to complete an awakening of Angel Sequence abilities very well.

By then, it will be completely possible to awaken a remarkably powerful Angel Sequence ability.

However.

Ta Ke lightly probed with his fingers.

"Holy Light leader-grade material… this is not easy to obtain."

In his thoughts, Ta Ke looked toward Xiluo'er.

Before Ta Ke could speak,

Xiluo'er had already spoken first.

"The superiors have promised to invest Holy Light Angel power within the Lamo'er Lighthouse."

But they are not without conditions.

When necessary, the superiors will give you some tasks, hoping you can complete them.

The superiors still have great expectations of you.

After a pause, Ta Ke nodded.

Wanting to ask for materials from Shenglande through Xiluo'er, Ta Ke did not speak further.

The superiors' ability to guide Holy Light Angel Sequence power to the Lamo'er Lighthouse is already very considerate.

Ta Ke also cannot rely entirely on the Shenglande Tower.

Moreover……

The more one takes from Shenglande, the more likely hidden traitors within Shenglande will discover Ta Ke.

Ta Ke acquiring resources himself, rather than merely taking from Shenglande,

This is undoubtedly safer.

During this time, Ta Ke has noticed many people scouting around Lamo'er Changjie.

Obviously.

After the previous trip to the Blood Clan Castle.

Xiluo'er has already become a lead for the Dark Sun Church to follow.

In his thoughts, Ta Ke slowly said.

During this time, Dark Sun Church personnel have been increasingly gathering toward Lamo'er Changjie.

Meanwhile……

Ta Ke paused.

The strength of Shenglande's powerful ones has also repeatedly probed this area.

Ta Ke's words made Xi Luo Er's expression slightly solemn.

La Mo Er, the existence of the blasphemer Ta Ke, will inevitably draw more attention from the Dark Sun Church to La Mo Er Long Street.

Fortunately, the strong ones of Holy Land also know this.

What surprised Xi Luo Er was that Ta Ke could actually sense the Holy Land strong ones' investigation of this place.

But upon considering Ta Ke's supernatural talent, they quickly came to terms with it.

"In the time ahead, if it's not necessary, try to keep contact to a minimum."

"Otherwise, the identity I barely managed to establish in Holy Land would have to be changed again."

"Hmm!"

Xi Luo Er nodded.

"During this period ahead, we will either establish a lighthouse defense line in the deep areas of the underground city, or build a lighthouse near the Black Ash River."

"Actually, there's nothing particularly important."

"When the lighthouse begins to light up, you'll naturally know."

Ta Ke, who was getting up to leave, suddenly thought of something.

Then Ta Ke looked at Xi Luo Er.

"Right, about the supernatural beings' gathering on the black market side I mentioned last time, do you have a channel?"

As Ta Ke inquired, Xi Luo Er pulled out a black card from their supernatural storage ring.

Ta Ke took the card, feeling it quite heavy in hand.

At a glance, Ta Ke couldn't even tell what material the card was made of.

"This is an entry pass for the supernatural beings' exchange meeting constructed by very powerful supernatural beings in the black market area of the underground city."

"In a sense, that place is... safe."

"But the participants are quite chaotic, including vampires, werewolves, members of the Dark Sun Church, and members of various other mysterious organizations, etc."

"If you're going there, be careful."

"At least you should first familiarize yourself with the black market environment here."

Xi Luo Er advised.

Fumbling with this black special-material card in hand.

Ta Ke nodded.

"Also, you need to be careful, watch out for vampire retaliation."

"I know!"

As Xi Luo Er's words fell.

Ta Ke had already vanished.
