My incarnation is becoming a global calamity.

Chapter 25: Lighting up new icons for skill upgrade paths

The Fool's Hat (Damaged)

[Grade A]

[The user can reduce the enemy's intelligence and create an illusion within a 100-meter radius. The user can freely construct the illusion, which lasts for 10 minutes. Cooldown: two months.]

【Cooling】

Su Tu looked at the constantly moving words and reached out his hand, just like last time.

The next moment, he clenched his fist, and the word "damaged" instantly vanished into faint starlight.

In the instant the light faded, the Fool's hat suddenly burst into a dazzling white light in Su Tu's vision.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that the A-level in the rank column had changed to S-level.

"As expected, as long as the word 'damaged' is removed, the magical tool can be repaired and its level increased."

A glint of light flashed in Su Tu's eyes as he looked down at the ability information panel.

[The user can reduce the intelligence of enemies and create an illusion within a 500-meter radius. The user can freely construct the illusion, which lasts for 10 minutes and has a 20% chance to reset the cooldown. Unless the wearer cancels it themselves, others will subconsciously ignore the top hat's presence. Cooldown time: two months.]

Cooldown has been reset.

After the Fool's Hat was upgraded to S-rank, there weren't many changes.

In addition, the area covered by the illusion has changed from a radius of 100 meters to a radius of 500 meters.

The most eye-catching thing is the newly added sentence.

There is a 20% chance to reset the cooldown time, which is definitely a good thing for Su Tu.

In particular, the cooldown was reset precisely when the magical artifact gained new abilities.

In other words, he can create another illusion now if he wants to.

"In that case, that risky plan can be put into action."

Su Tu's calm gaze swept over Bote, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"I hope you can take me away from here."

The moment the muttering stopped, the entire hall turned grayish-white again.

Everything, including time, seemed to freeze at that moment.

When Su Tu slightly raised his head, the grayish-white color receded like the tide, and everything returned to normal.

The only thing that changed was the positions of Su Tu and Bo Te.

Or rather, the reason why their identities were restored at this moment.

Seeing the royal reconnaissance team surrounding him, Su Tu calmly raised his hands.

"I surrender."

The royal reconnaissance team that had been surrounding him exchanged bewildered glances upon witnessing this scene.

They both saw a blank look in each other's eyes.

How come those who were putting up a stubborn resistance have suddenly surrendered?

However, they were happy to see this situation.

After ensuring their own safety, they slowly approached Su Tu.

Finally, they managed to detain Su Tu and tie him up with rope.

During this process, Su Tu did not resist and silently let them do whatever they wanted.

As for the magical artifacts that Ashir possessed, they were also confiscated.

The Fool's hat, because it has the special function of making people subconsciously ignore it, is still worn on his head.

Of course, he wouldn't have chosen to take the risk if the hat hadn't gained such a special function after the upgrade.

While Su Tu was "obediently surrendering," the Royal Scouts launched a fierce attack on Rhys.

Especially under Bot's personal command, the attacks became even more ferocious.

Given the current situation, it probably won't be long before Rhys is captured by the Royal Scouts, just like him.

As expected, the introduction of third-party forces should not be done haphazardly.

One wrong move and you could really get yourself into trouble.

However, this also demonstrates that the Royal Scouts' strength is absolutely formidable.

This can also be seen from Rhys's current predicament.

He wasn't someone who didn't want to use the princess to blackmail the royal reconnaissance team.

Even with Lira risking her life to protect him, he was unable to get close to the imperial princess lying not far away.

This has led him into a predicament where he can neither retreat nor advance.

Bound up, Su Tu simply sat down on the ground, watching Rhys struggle under the watchful eyes of two Royal Scouts.

If Rhys hadn't faked his death, things would probably be much better now.

Quickly push open the stone coffin, take out the magical artifacts inside, and leave as fast as you can.

That was clearly the best choice at that time.

If I had such amazing abilities, I would definitely choose to leave this place, even if it meant losing my magical tools.

No matter how important magical tools are, they are not as important as one's own life.

If he hadn't exhausted all his means and been unable to leave the imperial holy land, he wouldn't have chosen to risk being captured.

Of course, this was a choice he made only when he was confident that he could use his own methods to leave the Royal Scout Headquarters.

But why would this relic merchant, who had already foreseen the future, choose to fake his death and put himself in this predicament?

Su Tu suddenly became curious about what Rhys saw when predicting the next 10 minutes.

What could possibly have caused him to make such an unwise choice?

Even if it means putting himself in a situation where he could be caught at any moment, he still fakes his death to fool everyone.

But it's okay, he'll probably know the answer to this question soon.

As Su Tu's thoughts raced, Rhys's decline under the Royal Scouts' attack became increasingly apparent.

In less than three minutes, he was tied up, just like Su Tu.

"We've finally caught both of you."

Bot walked up to the two men, looking down at them with undisguised joy in his eyes.

Catching these two people means that the stolen magical artifact will be recovered soon.

By then, his life was considered saved.

Thinking that his life could be saved, he couldn't help but return to his post and immediately began to question people.

"You two, hand over that S-rank magical tool right now, and I'll let you leave safely if you do."

Bote got straight to the point, his voice cold yet subtly enticing, giving off a strange feeling.

However, after hearing this, Su Tu couldn't help but glance at Rhys next to him, and a sense of doubt arose in his heart.

Could it be that the S-rank magical artifact that this group was looking for wasn't the fan that was just taken out of the stone coffin?

If it's not that fan, then what could it be?

Su Tu did not answer Bote's question.

After all, he didn't know what kind of magical artifact the Royal Scouts were looking for.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't tell him.

Only if he remained defiant would they take him away from here and send him to the Royal Scout's base.

That would have been the best time for him to leave.

As for Rhys standing next to him, given his personality, he most likely wouldn't answer when faced with Bot's interrogation.

However, just as Su Tu was pondering, an unexpected voice drifted over.

"I know where that thing is, and I'm willing to take you there."
