Chapter 918 - 867: Demon God’s Wig Set
After the battle ended, the images of the two divine beings disappeared, and the fleet was ready to set sail.
After the effect of the Angel Possession ended, Selvia was also affected by a negative weakening effect, and she collapsed headlong, but was supported by Elifel in time.
Da Fei and his group hurriedly visited the Jade Dragon to offer their condolences: "Selvia, have a good rest. Leave the rest of the journey to Catherine."
Selvia sighed, "The weakening effect after Angel Possession lasts for nearly 10 days, and I won’t be able to help much during these ten days."
Anlicia hurriedly said, "No worries, just sleep well. You can hand over the Sea Soul Staff to me for safekeeping, and I’ll return it to you as a brand new Sea Soul Staff after 10 days!"
Selvia hugged the Sea Soul Staff tightly and sneered, "You’re overthinking it. Weakness doesn’t mean bedridden and unable to take care of myself!"
Don’t worry, if you’re bedridden and unable to care for yourself, I’ll personally serve you. Da Fei laughed and said: "By the way, Selvia, what is this Angel’s First Scale?"
Selvia laughed, "I heard an old grandpa in Habbit Village mention it, so I went back to the church to ask, and it turned out to be something real, so I asked Sister Marilena to imbue some divine power into my harp, but it’s really not my own power."
Who knew that Nanny Rong was so kind and cultured?
Da Fei gave an understanding nod: "I see! Alright, now that the Sea Soul Staff has absorbed enough, Selvia, go rest in your room!"
"Got it!"
Now, the fleet once again lined up to set sail.
In this battle, Da Fei killed 106 Siren Sea Demons without losing a single soldier and obtained 106 Siren Sea Demon Howling Essences. Neither Deirdre nor Elena knew what this essence was, so Da Fei had to go back to the Radiant Wings’ bar to ask Hilda.
Of course, considering Hilda was an Angel, she probably didn’t know about things in the sea, especially in the Nether Sea, so Da Fei’s main aim was to show off and flirt.
As Da Fei entered the tavern, a group of busy beauties immediately greeted him: "Welcome, Lord City Lord! Congratulations on your great victory!"
The chirping and singing—this is the kind of feel-good moment I want! Da Fei laughed heartily, "I’ll treat each beauty to a drink!"
Hilda laughed, "Sorry, we can’t drink during working hours, so we’ll put the tab on the City Lord for now, and they can drink during their break."
Oh! So Hilda is actually quite principled and disciplined! Not bad, if I ever need management, having someone like this would put my mind at ease. Da Fei laughed, "Alright, we’ll put it on the tab for now."
Then Da Fei immediately pulled out a handful of howling essences and asked, "These are the spoils I obtained after killing the sea demons. Miss Hilda, do you know what these are?"
Hilda shook her head, "Essences are energy substances precipitated from within living beings, specific to high-level powerful creatures. Although I don’t know how to use this essence, it must be rare and precious. I suggest the City Lord keep it well."
Although it was as if nothing was said, it felt reassuring to hear it. Da Fei smiled and said, "Got it, I’ll take good care of them."
Hilda smiled again, "By the way, during your rest, I finished crafting a little gadget. I’ve named it the ’Demon God’s Wig’!"
—System Prompt: You have received the limited Divine Artifact "Demon God’s Wig" crafted by Hilda.
—Demon God’s Wig: Limited Divine Artifact, headgear. By using this item, you can hide your Hero Aura and disguise yourself as an NPC. Disguise duration: 1 day, cooldown: 3 days. (Note: This Divine Artifact is limited and might become obsolete as the game progresses.)
It’s a Divine Artifact!
Feeling the silver long-haired wig in his hands, Da Fei was stunned in disbelief, "Miss Hilda, this is what you call a little gadget?"
Hilda laughed, "How is it? I hope it was worth the 1 million you spent on it. If you’re interested, you can try it now."
Oh, my gosh! It was so worth the 1 million! No, including the previous two Teleportation Arrays for 40 million and various teaching fees, it was all worth it! My generosity has finally paid off!
Da Fei, excitedly nodding repeatedly: "It’s worth it, thank you so much, Miss Hilda, I’ll try it now!" Da Fei wore the wig, and a silver-haired, tall, handsome, noble-looking, and majestic young human male image appeared!
Alright, it’s just my in-game look with a wig, nothing changed. But the thought of this silver hair actually being Elena’s gave Da Fei a certain feeling. Never mind, what will I become?
He clicked to use it!
The wig flashed with demonic light, and Da Fei’s entire body became hazy. Then, the Hero Aura under his feet disappeared, along with his name above his head, and that was it.
Hilda clapped her hands, "Success! As expected of the Demon God’s power!"
Da Fei switched his screen perspective, only to be astonished that he still looked like the silver-haired, tall, handsome, and noble-looking self, only the name above his head and the Hero Aura beneath his feet were removed, and the character image didn’t change at all!
Da Fei felt an indescribable discomfort and said, "Miss Hilda, this, I meant a change of appearance..."
Hilda laughed, "No problem, this wig can support various hairstyles. How about I style you with pigtails? I heard they’re quite popular now!"
Oh, come on! Are you trying to make all the players in the city stare at this unusual NPC me? Da Fei chuckled wryly, "I meant, could it completely change the appearance, even into a dwarf?"
Hilda seriously replied, "No, such a transformation requires too much Divine Power and will definitely be detected. I’m using the safest method."
So that’s how it is! Alright, as long as the name and Hero Aura are hidden, I’m already an NPC in the players’ eyes! Just then, Da Fei remembered the "NPC" in the black cloak he encountered at the gate of Elorin City Hall that he almost saw through.
Da Fei asked again, "Is this disguise safe? Can it be easily seen through?"
Hilda laughed heartily, "The best disguise is just being yourself, right? If you transform into a dwarf, it would be excessive. Too much ability would be dissonant, making it easier to be seen through. In short, match it with various costumes and make do with it."
Da Fei laughed, "Got it!"
Alright, this is the artifact I’ve been dreaming of! I’ll finally be rid of the trouble of being watched as a celebrity! Yes, being a world-renowned person, it’s unreasonable not to have a few alias identities. It’s just a bit of a pity that for now, it feels like parading the streets in fine clothes at night; it will only come into play after this six-month sea journey.
Hope that six-month time doesn’t let Skyshattering Thunder, that kid, make too much progress, pushing the game process too far. Otherwise, it would be a shame if the artifact becomes useless before I even get to use it.
But then again, six months in reality is more than half a month of real time, the National War Zone should be opening, and experts from various guilds are probably advancing more robustly in all aspects! Is it really okay to leave the rear to NPC development for half a month?
An urgent feeling surged in Da Fei’s heart suddenly. If, at some point, I could rely on a city with a Teleportation Array to transport back to my territory to leave a few words and guide the development direction, that would be great!
Wait a minute! Teleport home? Da Fei suddenly remembered the Nightmare Crystal! Isn’t it a Transmission Artifact? Use it to teleport to Nightmare Space, then from there to Divine Punishment City, then return to the city to guide work, and finally teleport back before night falls! Damn, it’s totally feasible! At least 40 or 50 minutes of activity time, can do lots of things!
So the only question is, what happens when using the Nightmare Crystal on the ship?
For example, in a moving truck’s compartment, a passenger throws a coin high up, and the coin will still fall back into the passenger’s hand in the compartment without flying out of the compartment because the truck runs fast. This is basic common sense.
However, this is a game; this is a Space Gate! What happens if it’s used on the moving ship, will the coordinates of the Space Gate’s exit still move with the ship? Probably not! By the time I return, the ship would have sailed far, and I’ll probably step into the void and drown in the sea!
Oh gosh! So I’ve discovered a spatial motion physics phenomenon in the game after Newton! I’m not Newton; I’m awesome!
What to do? Should I find a small reef? A small reef is fixed and surely won’t cause any trouble?
Anyway, it’s best to ask Hilda first. Even if she can’t answer, I can ask higher beings like Samael and the Ghost Dragon King! In short, I must find a solution for returning midway to the city.
