I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 331 - 216: Blood Race, Cave Entrance

[In response to your inquiry, the pale red soul quickly provides an answer.]

[He tells you that this place is called Lava Rock Prison, an ancient and mysterious prison that traps those like him who are tempted by power.]

[You feel confused about this.]

[He quickly explains further.]

[His name is Maureen, originally a member of the Blood Race, from the Blood Empire in the Blood Sea, possessing long life and great strength.]

[But his ambition was not to drink blood nor claim a noble rank in the Empire, but the distant seas.]

[He was determined to explore the mysterious and experience the wonders of the sea.]

[But reality soon gave him a rude awakening, the dangers and powerful figures outside were terrifying, and he was on the brink of death several times.]

[At that time, he found a mysterious treasure that could grant him powerful strength, but the price was that he would be eternally imprisoned when he was about to die after fulfilling his dream.]

[The young Maureen was proud and arrogant, thinking the price was essentially non-existent, and he had never considered death, being a noble Blood Race with a long life.]

[Thus, the young Maureen soon used this treasure to roam the seas, command the winds and rain, and gained endless wealth and high status.]

[Based on his Blood Race lineage, his good days were supposed to be long-lasting, but for some reason, his body aged rapidly like a human.]

[Only then did he realize he was deceived.]

[After some time, as he was nearing death, the treasure dragged him into the Lava Prison, awaiting his incarceration.]

[In immense anger, he clashed with his captors, but he had long grown weak due to the price of the treasure, losing an eyeball in the struggle.]

[After being thrown into a cell and imprisoned by the Guardian, his body quickly died in its old and weakened state.]

[He thought death was the end, but in utter despair, he found himself still trapped in a soul state after dying.]

[This seemed to be a prison of endless sentences, not only would there never be a day of seeing the light of day again, even death wasn’t the end!]

Having read about Blood Race Maureen’s experience, Rogel couldn’t help but shake his head.

This guy was really a complete unlucky character.

But what he was more concerned about now was how to find a new cave.

[You inquire about other information regarding the prison.]

[But Maureen shakes his head, telling you he doesn’t know much.]

[However, he does tell you an important piece of information.]

[A big upheaval occurred in the prison once, and now the numerous upper-level guards have disappeared, but you should be wary of the prisoners in the cells.]

[Additionally, Maureen warns you that it’s best not to linger on the eighth level.]

[After saying this, he picks up the eyeball from the ground, holds it for a moment, and infuses it with power before handing it to you in gratitude.]

["I will forget again, but thank you for helping me regain my sense of self."]

[Maureen says as he hands the eyeball to you.]

[You have acquired: Blood Race Living Eye ×1.]

[Blood Race Living Eye]

[Type: Special Artifact]

[Quality: Golden]

[Special Effect: Can substitute death once for the bearer in a dying state, but the bearer will fall into a ’blood thirst’ special state after resurrection.]

[Explanation: An active Blood Race eyeball with certain Blood Race traits.]

A special artifact that can immune death once, quite excellent indeed.

After pocketing it, Rogel bid farewell to Maureen.

There was nothing left to explore on this floor.

He continued towards the next floor.

On this floor, Rogel again found a special cell.

[You saw: Wizard Robe ×1.]

[You saw: Wizard’s Codex ×1.]

[You saw...]

Through the slit of the cell door, Rogel saw a dried corpse, with a pile of good items beside it.

But the soul inside was nowhere to be found.

Strange, if according to Blood Race Maureen’s claim, there should indeed be imprisoned souls in here.

After pondering for a moment, Rogel had a conjecture.

When he previously met Maureen, Maureen had already forgotten a lot of memories, directly becoming a [Crimson Guardian] under the influence of unknown forces.]

It’s very likely these Guardians in the prison were transformed from prisoners who lost their memories.]

Probably, the soul inside this cell was transformed.]

However, Maureen mentioned that the upper-level Guardians seemed to have disappeared.]

It’s likely because of this, there’s nothing but items left in the cell.]

But this made Rogel a bit eager.]

Good items lying in front of him, but unable to be accessed, truly displeasing!]

[You attempt to break into the cell, but it’s in vain.]

[The cell door naturally only opens with the Prison Key.]

Damn, should’ve known better.]

Rogel was extremely frustrated.]

Seemed like, to obtain these items within the cells, he must acquire the Prison Key.]

But Rogel guessed, the key was likely with the Prison Gate Guardian, or with other more dangerous wardens.]

Yet, Rogel was not capable of defeating them right now.]

No choice, he had to leave the cell door with a gloomy heart and continued towards the next floor.]

The seventh level also had a special cell, with many items inside as well, visible but unreachable.]

Rogel left reluctantly, proceeding to the eighth level.]

[You arrived at the eighth level, this was the level Maureen advised against lingering.]
