Chapter 344: Section 131: Repairing Tower Spirit
Deep Sea Monster Fish, Core Cabin.
The Dragon-man youth solemnly handed a scroll he held into Zi Di’s hands.
This scroll was none other than the Ship Spirit Repair Alchemy Scroll.
Zi Di untied the elegant thin rope and slowly unfolded the scroll.
The leather of the scroll was not the usual sheepskin but a more delicate deerskin. The axis of the scroll was some kind of alloy, silver-white in color, but with straight, fine black engravings on the surface, intersecting each other to form squares and rectangles.
The creator of the scroll, Tuck, was ingenious with his thoughts. The secret was contained within the alloy axis. The axis and the scroll were integral to each other; only together did they make a complete Ship Spirit Repair Scroll.
This greatly increased the difficulty for those who intended to replicate it.
The scroll emanated a strong aura of Gold.
Indeed, it was a Golden Level Magic Tool, and it was also a single-use consumable.
Only the Dragon-man youth, Zi Di, and Cang Xu were present in the Core Cabin.
After completely unfolding the scroll, Zi Di began to pour her spirit into it.
After discussing, the scroll was entrusted to Zi Di for use.
There were two reasons. One was that Zi Di had devoured the soul of the ship ghost, raising her spirit to the Silver Level and causing her spiritual power to surge. The second reason was that Zi Di herself had privileges with the Tower Spirit.
Once her spirit was engaged, Zi Di quickly mastered the scroll.
Then, she began to infuse her own mana into it.
At this step, the difficulty increased significantly compared to the first.
Because a Black Iron Level Mage relying solely on their own mana to activate a Gold Level scroll was quite a stretch.
Especially since this scroll demanded even more mana!
Zi Di quickly depleted more than half of her own mana, but the scroll in her hand did not emit even a hint of light; there was practically no response.
The young girl’s brows furrowed slightly, “This is a bit troublesome, the scroll demands a lot of mana.”
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
“Don’t worry, we have plenty of time,” comforted the Dragon-man youth.
Zi Di nodded, deliberately slowed down the output of her mana, and slightly opened her mouth.
The Dragon-man youth then took out a potion, removed the stopper, and poured the liquid into Zi Di’s mouth.
Zi Di swallowed it, and the potion quickly replenished her mana.
Thus, the young girl employed mana potions while infusing the scroll, and her scroll began to emit a faint glow.
“It’s a pity that in the Deep Sea Monster Fish, there is no Array Map case. Otherwise, we could directly use the mana of the Deep Sea Monster Fish; there would be no need for such trouble,” Cang Xu regretfully said.
The Array Map case is a type of Magic Device, specifically for releasing magic scrolls. Many castles, Mage Towers, as well as energy ships and airships, have such devices.
Once activated, the Array Map case directly consumes the mana reserves from the Mana Pool, eliminating the need for manual infusion of mana.
Although the Deep Sea Monster Fish was a Golden Level energy ship, it did not have an Array Map case.
Because the War Merchant, being a Legendary Mage, did not need such a thing.
As time passed, the Ship Spirit Repair Scroll emitted an increasingly strong golden glow, while Zi Di turned pale and her figure began to waver.
In a short period of time, she had consumed more than a dozen vials of Mana Potion, showing signs of being unable to endure.
“Let us lend you a hand,” said the Dragon-man youth upon noticing this.
Zi Di nodded.
Thus, the Dragon-man youth and Cang Xu both placed their hands on the axis or the surface of the scroll, and began to infuse their own mana into it.
The Dragon-man youth had just begun his training in magic; although he had mana, it was quickly exhausted.
He immediately began to consume Mana Potion.
Moments later, Cang Xu also had to take a potion.
There were three sources of mana in the scroll, but since Zi Di’s mana was the most abundant, they maintained a stable state.
With the full cooperation of the Dragon-man youth and Cang Xu, half an hour after they had unfolded the scroll, their combined mana finally met the usage standard of the scroll.
The scroll quickly burned into ashes and transformed into a golden orb of light.
The orb was half a person tall, enclosing a scroll’s alloy shaft within. In the golden light, the alloy shaft swiftly decomposed into countless alchemy symbols, intricate and ever-changing, dazzling to behold.
Zi Di controlled the golden orb with her spiritual power, letting it slowly float toward the Crystal Ball.
The Crystal Ball was as big as a millstone, semi-transparent and seemed to contain a mass of cloud mist—it was the carrier of the Tower Spirit.
The golden orb quickly merged into the Crystal Ball, starting to repair the Tower Spirit.
The Crystal Ball was enveloped in golden light.
About ten minutes later, the golden light gradually weakened until it completely vanished.
The Crystal Ball remained unchanged, still appearing as the semi-transparent cloud mist it was before.
However, shortly after, the voice of the Tower Spirit suddenly rang out, “Authority detected… Miss Zi Di, hello.”
The three youths exchanged glances, each showing some joy.
The voice of the Tower Spirit sounded different than before—it was no longer as stiff and weak as when it first arrived on the ship.
Zi Di spoke, “Tower Spirit, begin self-diagnosis.”
Previously, the Tower Spirit was unable to perform a self-diagnosis.
But now, after using the scroll, the Tower Spirit immediately responded, “Starting self-diagnosis estimation. Estimated time for self-diagnosis is 85 seconds. Confirm self-diagnosis?”
“Please proceed with the self-diagnosis,” confirmed Zi Di.
“Self-diagnosis countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Self-diagnosis starting.”
The three youths patiently waited for a bit over a minute.
The Tower Spirit replied, “Detected component loss… Found memory bank loss… Detected the Deep Sea Monster Fish… Self-diagnosis complete. Overall assessment: current status 32%. Advised to repair soon, recommended components as follows…”
The Tower Spirit continued listing various alchemy equipment names, and Zi Di hadn’t interrupted, it would have continued.
“Stop there, Tower Spirit,” Zi Di thought for a moment, then inquired, “I want to know, how much did that alchemy scroll just now help you recover?”
Tower Spirit: “Checking records… Before scroll use, 17%, after scroll use, 32%. Another use of the same type of scroll is estimated to reach 40%.”
From 17% to 32%, the alchemy scroll directly repaired the Tower Spirit by 15%. However, using it again would only result in an increase of 8%, reaching an estimated 40%.
Zi Di then asked, “What about using this type of scroll a third time? How much can you repair then?”
Tower Spirit: “2%.”
The efficiency of the alchemy scroll’s repairs drastically decreased.
Typically, for a ship spirit, this type of scroll should be able to repair a lot. But the Tower Spirit is sourced from War Merchants, naturally making it a premium among Tower Spirits. Moreover, this is a Tower Spirit, not a ship spirit; there is a difference.
“Even if it’s 8%, if we use this type of scroll again, we can almost repair the Tower Spirit by half,” Zi Di said.
Despite the high price of the alchemy scroll, the girl considered it worthwhile to use one more.
The Dragon-man youth, however, said, “Let’s see what gains we have after this repair by the Tower Spirit.”
Next, Zi Di contacted the Tower Spirit mentally, investigating its memory bank, only to find embarrassingly that she couldn’t access some of its contents.
“Tower Spirit, I wish to access the Array Maps of alchemy arrays from the different levels of the Central Tower,” Zi Di immediately said.
Tower Spirit replied, “Insufficient authority, please elevate authority.”
The three of them were momentarily dumbfounded.
Because before repairing the Tower Spirit, they were able to access the map related to the alchemy array.
That’s how the Jade Liquid Array in the Core Cabin came about.
After the Tower Spirit was repaired, this part of the content was locked by the Tower Spirit.
Zi Di asked again, “Tower Spirit, elevate our authority!”
Tower Spirit refused, “Authorization from the first authority holder, War Merchant, is required to elevate your authority.”
The three: …
Was this what they exchanged for such a high cost?
“No, within the restored memory bank, I was able to access plenty of information, including various meditation techniques, spells, fighting energy formulas, combat skills, and alchemy techniques. These values far exceed the cost we paid for the scroll.”
Zi Di continued to browse, and suddenly she exclaimed softly, “I found some travel records of the War Merchant. It recorded that he had piloted the Deep Sea Monster Fish into the Sky Pillar sea region multiple times!”
