Chapter 420: The Main City
The attitude of the Dramatic Poet is quite clear: I am both the shelter for the weak and the examiner for the strong.
The truly powerful blessings in the Shopping Book all cost 30 points. In other words, if you aim to gain transformative power from the Shopping Book, the Dramatic Poet will not help you one bit. However, if you are content to take modest rewards, the Dramatic Poet is pleased to offer some benefits to the younger generation.
He will ensure that blessings become genuine blessings and that curses turn into temporary Trials, guaranteeing that every spellcaster who opens the Shopping Book will gain something, if not carry a full bag of rewards.
After a brief discussion, Ashe and the others ultimately resisted the temptation of the prophecy from the Fate Sect. Though investing in prophecy, Fate, and Truth Sects is undoubtedly worthwhile in the long run, the cycle of investment is too lengthy and offers no quick combat advantages.
More importantly, they could not afford any risks.
In a few days, they would reach the Spider Tower area, and Ashe and his companions were already exhausting their efforts to evade the Empress’s heroic soul. If a curse demanded their attention, they might as well cleanse themselves and wait for the Empress’s favor.
Although they could not choose the powerful blessings or curses, they still had many options. After a short discussion, they all decided on the same blessing: “mortal danger sense!”
The more dangerous the situation, the slower time flows!
This blessing is likely related to the Time Sect, but since it only costs 10 curse points, ordinary spellcasters would be unable to summon a time spirit through this blessing. However, Ashe and his companions are different—thanks to their recent time travel through the Golden Flow, all three of them had advanced to the Golden level in the Time Sect!
