Chapter 771: The Wind of Freedom
Chapter 771: The Wind of Freedom
For a fleeting moment, Lindsey was lost.
Under Clearsky's command, countless transparent crystals erupted, swirling around Lindsey.
He felt like a dragon buried in coins, overwhelmed and dazed.
And in that moment, a premonition rose within Lindsey.
"Is it just me, or is the Dust Path World too kind to me?"
In Silver City, due to Leafaya's misunderstanding, he had received treasures from numerous Awakened.
And now, he had befriended an Eighth Stage Old Friend.
Even though she couldn't leave this sky.
Her strength was undeniable, and what Clearsky could achieve was equally astonishing.
Lindsey reached out and picked up a transparent crystal in front of him.
[Material: Wind Crystal]
[When crushed, it releases a burst of air current; can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[An extremely rare crystal left behind by a few wind-attributed elemental beings upon death, its value is increased due to its scarcity.]
Lindsey didn't bother choosing, randomly grabbing three and placing them into the workbench, instantly synthesizing an enchantment.
[Enchantment/Material: Gale Enchantment]
[Increases the wearer's agility by 1 point. By expending Essence, the enchantment can be activated to boost movement speed by 5%; can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[A special item containing the power of wind, with moderate value.]
The Gale Enchantment was just the beginning.
Immediately, Lindsey took out the prepared Storm Element Crystal and Atmospheric Essence, placing them into the workbench for two consecutive item creations.
[1 Gale Enchantment + 1 Storm Element Crystal = Storm Enchantment]
[1 Storm Enchantment + 1 Atmospheric Essence = Freedom Seal]
In the blink of an eye.
Another final product of the enchantment system quietly lay in his hands.
[Enchantment/Material: Freedom Seal]
[Upon equipping, significantly increases the wearer's resistance to paralysis, sealing, and binding effects; grants the passive abilities Gale Force and Atmospheric Sense. When activated, it also grants the ability to fly.
Gale Force: Increases the wearer's agility by 30 points and movement speed by 25%. The wearer is immune to fall damage as the unyielding gale surrounds them, protecting from all angles.
Atmospheric Sense: Within range, every free current of air becomes an extension of the wearer's perception.]
[A supreme enchantment containing the power of wind, a special item of immense value.]
The Freedom Seal, like the Eternal Mark, enhances resistance to three abnormal conditions and provides two unique passive abilities, while activation grants the ability to fly.
Finally, he can fly!
Lindsey was overjoyed, examining the attributes of the Freedom Seal while also testing it out.
"..."
"Huh?"
The Atmospheric Sense refreshed Lindsey's senses.
Human's limited field of vision expanded to a 360-degree, dead-angle perception!
This sense, in particular, wasn't merely visual.
Take Arona beside him as an example.
As the wind brushed against the maiden's face, Lindsey could perceive even the slightest movement of her sweat glands. The mix of tactile and visual senses created a unique sensation, akin to a perceiver honing their synesthetic skills.
"..."
Lindsey blinked.
Even with his eyes closed, information from his surroundings flooded his mind, making it hard to adjust to this newfound perception.
Snap—
At that moment, Clearsky rushed over and embraced Lindsey, her voice filled with passion and joy.
"Lindsey, what did you do?"
"Now, I like the scent on you even more!"
Lindsey didn't want to lie to such a friendly companion.
"It's the influence of my skill, and its power comes from an equipment."
Clearsky didn't mind and even sniffed Lindsey's scent with her nose.
"That's good too, I like it."
With this action, the two were now within an inch of each other.
Clearsky spoke softly, her voice audible only to Lindsey, "I can sense the Human Wisdom Codex on you, and others can too. For safety's sake, let me give you another blessing."
Whoosh—
A gentle wind encircled Lindsey.
As Clearsky's words landed, an additional line of text appeared at the end of the description of Wind Breath.
"The wind of freedom hides the secrets on you."
For a moment, Lindsey was taken aback.
The Human Wisdom Codex on him was already highly concealed, and only eighth-stage powerhouses could currently detect its existence.
And now, Clearsky had added another layer of concealment.
With her ability, even fellow eighth-stage Awakened might not be able to perceive the secret on Lindsey.
Just as Lindsey was feeling dazed, Clearsky chuckled softly in his ear.
"Hey, you've got quite a collection of blessings, huh?"
"Stonehead's Protection, my Breath, the Soul Power of Life and Death, Heroic Recognition, each of these things is extraordinary and hard to come by..."
"That's right, you're truly worthy of being my friend!"
Lindsey shook his head humbly.
"It's just that I've been lucky..."
Lindsey's voice trailed off as he saw Clearsky gazing directly into his eyes.
The sky-blue irises seemed to see right through Lindsey's heart, and Clearsky's tone took on a different kind of sincerity.
"Lindsey, don't deny your journey."
"Without experiencing adventures beyond the imagination of ordinary people, it's impossible to obtain these blessings."
Seriousness, encouragement, and positivity—genuine emotions exchanged through their gazes.
Lindsey and Clearsky locked eyes for a few seconds.
Then, from the moment he met this Nature Spirit, Lindsey's tense shoulders finally relaxed.
"With you being like this... I really don't know what to say."
Seeing Lindsey's expression, Clearsky released her hands and smiled contentedly.
"You don't need to say anything."
"I can bring refreshing and pleasant air, or unleash a devastating hurricane."
"I am the wind of freedom, and I do as I please!"
"No one can tell us what to do!"
Clearsky's carefree attitude seemed to have a magical charm.
As Lindsey was browsing through the synthesis list, he casually asked, "In that case, Clearsky, do you know about Sky Tears?"
"Sky Tears?" Clearsky squinted and pinched the corner of her eye, and a teardrop slid down her face, quickly condensing into a conical gem. "You mean this?"
Lindsey numbly held the gem in his hand.
[Material: Sky Tear]
[A drop of pure tear from the sky, it condenses into a physical form under special conditions, containing powerful forces from the high-altitude atmosphere! Can be used as a material to craft other items.]
[An extremely rare material with high value!]
