Chapter 44: The Ghost in the Mist
In the Ash world, the professional is a very regular existence, just like the driver and civil servant in the earth world, who is known and known by the world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But what a professional is, I'm afraid Rorschach still hasn't fully figured it out yet.
Even in the eyes of others, he is already a qualified ranger and warrior monk.
".......So, Examiner Rorschach, please show me a first-order ranger ability, both magic and skill are fine. ā
Even though Rorschach was now standing in front of the Ranger Guild examiner, he was still in a trance.
Doesn't it mean that it takes years, decades of training to become a professional, and can you really pass the ranger qualification exam easily as they say?
Seeing Rorschach's hesitation, Edwin, a second-order ranger who was the examiner, made his own suggestion.
"If you're good at combat, we also have a shooting range and sparring here. ā
What do you want to do? What do you have to do as a ranger? What do you do? What do you do? What do you want to do? What do you have to do with yourself? What do you have to do with what a ranger should be? What do you have to do with what you should be? What all sort
Since the range existed........ thinking of the harvest of those days, Rorschach walked to the weapon rack and picked out the weapon he was most familiar with, the Dwarven Firebolt.
Seeing Rorschach's choice, the young examiner seemed to want to say something, but in the end he wanted to stop talking.
"Please follow me. ā
Rorschach was a little strange, but this surprise disappeared the moment he entered the shooting range.
"Poof, firebolt. Somebody actually went into the shooting range with a firecracker? Do you want to practice this thing too?"
"This kind of thing actually appeared in the training ground of the Ranger Guild, and it seems that the Ranger profession has also degenerated. ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦ Don't say that, you see that kid doesn't even have a ranger emblem, the guild's, probably a newcomer to the rookie exam, maybe the other party is very good at firearms, just like the ghost in the fog who has been rumored very outrageously recently. Ha, I can't make it up. ā
Passing by, the other practitioners mercilessly expressed the common understanding of the rangers about the firecracker-that is, garbage.
And the rangers who use this kind of garbage will naturally not be recognized by them.
Feeling the unkind look behind him, and the undisguised gossip, Rorschach knew that he had probably made the worst choice.
This is probably the reason for the examiner's hesitation just now, but from his standpoint, it is true that he cannot prevent the newcomers participating in the examination from using the weapon they are good at, even if it is a firearm that is not favored by others.
Why is it not favored?
"Such a simple design, you can use it with a little practice without blindness, and it can also be called a shooting skill. ā
"I'm wondering how he can use the Ranger's skills with a perfectly straight trajectory. It must be difficult to distort the fire trajectory of the steel bullet of the firebolt. ā
"Curve shooting, long-range fixed-point projectile, don't think about it, you can't do it at all, you can't touch the ammunition with your own hands, and how can you pour power and enchant. The bow can burst its magic through the bowstring, you try to burst it with the trigger. I can't do it at all. ā
Divided into the Natures faction, the Ranger uses the Force of Nature, but attaches the Force of Nature to weapons and bows must be touched by hand.
Most of the shooting process is done automatically by the machine, and the simplified semi-natural shooting process instead leaves the rangers with no chance to attach the force of nature.
None of these words deliberately lowered their tones, but while they were not favored, most of the attention of the people at the shooting range was unconsciously turned to Rorschach.
Although most people see this as a rookie who doesn't know the height of the sky, but in case, maybe he has any unique skills?
If he can use the Ranger's combat skills through the firebolt, then won't he immediately make a big news?
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Rorschach silently raised his gun and aimed at the humanoid target at a distance of 100 meters.
"Smack!"
The gun went off, the target shattered, and the shattered was exactly the heart.
With a casual and natural shooting action, a quick aim of less than a second, and a garbage weapon provided by the union, you can accurately hit a target of about 100 meters.
The marksmanship was good, but there was nothing new, and some bystanders had already withdrawn their gaze, only to hear the examiner's questioning full of doubts.
"Well, maybe you heard it wrong, I asked you to hit the No. 4 target on the front, not the No. 6 target on the right. ā
Rorschach was silent, and raised his gun again, in the same position.......
"Smack!"
After the gunshots rang out, everyone tried to find the target that was hit........ but in vain, and they didn't know where the shot had gone.
"Smack!"
This time, it hit the target, but it was ........
"........ I didn't want you to shoot crows. ā
At this moment, a bird fell from the sky.
"Poof. ā
Behind, someone was already laughing.
"It turned out to be a real noob. ā
"Really, it's a loss that gives me extra expectations. ā
At this time, even if he is as cheeky as Rorschach, his cheeks are red.
But what can Rorschach do, Rorschach is also desperate.
These days, when shooting, there are high-tech aiming goggles, and the rays mark the shooting trajectory and the point of hit.
All he had to do was point the muzzle of the gun at the target within range and press the trigger.
What is marksmanship? Can you eat it?
"I'm sorry, if that's all there is to it, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you a first-order ranger qualification. Even if your referral is a Legendary Ranger. ā
The legendary ranger's statement attracted everyone's attention, but the eyes that looked at Rorschach were full of contempt.
Forget about the dish, he is still a rookie who plans to open the back door, and he can still be such a rookie with a legendary mentor, can he bear it?
"Hey, that crow!"
But at this moment, someone pointed at Rorschach's prey just now, and when he looked at his finger, the body of the unlucky crow who was shot suddenly twisted and deformed.
In a cloudy gray light, the small crow corpse turned into a middle-aged man with black feathers.
"Druid??How can it be a druid?"
Rorschach panicked a little at the thought that he might have accidentally made a big mistake, after all, the Ranger Guild was next door to the Druid's guild.
Everyone rushed to check on the druid, but it turned out to be more than expected.
"The red teardrop tattoo is a blood-eyed druid's scout. Tsk, such a perfect transformation, and this anti-reconnaissance magic ring, is at least a third-order. ā
At this moment, the examiner's face changed completely, and the anger just now turned into a sudden realization, but more than that, it was a surprise from the heart.
"It turns out that the two shots you just fired were deliberately missed, just to paralyze the attention of that blood-eyed druid, and then make the last shot fatal, even the great druid can't stand the shot in the crow form. No, you chose the fire gun from the beginning to paralyze the other party. He really deserves to be a disciple of a legendary master, and his thinking is so meticulous. ā
The rangers around him also "suddenly realized", and their eyes when they looked at Rorschach also changed, and some people raised their thumbs, and some even applauded.
"No...... No, it was just pure accident. ā
Rorschach's natural ability, but he couldn't bear this misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained.
"He is not arrogant, he is really worthy of being a disciple of that legendary master. With such an easy way to see through the disguise of a high-ranking druid, you will soon be able to become a Ranger Master, and I will give you a first-order medal, but I'm afraid you won't have to change it again before you carry it. It's an honor to be able to honour a future Ranger Lord. ā
Rorschach's face was almost as red as a light bulb, and he knew that in front of the original examiner who was a full-time enthusiastic fan at this moment, he was afraid that it would be useless to say anything now.
[Poof! It's really worthy of my brother, we are still gambling how many times will you fail, you just passed the exam at one time so inexplicably, and we all lost. Brother, you don't throw all the extra points on luck, do you? ć
In an instant, Rorschach also suddenly realized....... and annoyed and angry.
"........ mean, how can I pass now, you just wait for me to be embarrassed? ā
[........ you are angry, you are indeed a qualified first-order ranger now, but you showed the wrong direction from the beginning, who told you to go to the shooting range. Besides, I asked Charles to give you a hint, why did you forget?]
A hint from the Charles?
Rorschach recalls seriously, but apart from mentioning some common sense of professionals, he doesn't want to pay special attention to it.
"Compared to the professions of the ordinary technology plane, each of our classes has its own supernatural powers, such as the thief using the power of shadows, the paladin using the holy light and divine grace, and the mage using the elemental power, which is the basis of everything. ā
"And those so-called magic, stunts, and talents are actually those skills for the use of supernatural powers, for example, most of the melee professions have to learn the mastery of life energy qi, and the stealth of thieves is to wrap their own figures with the power of shadows, so that outsiders can't see themselves clearly. The Master of Thieves, on the other hand, can even project himself onto the shadow plane for a short period of time. ā
For example, the ranger also has his own skills to hide his own figure, but he uses the power of nature to harmoniously assimilate himself with external objects, so that others subconsciously ignore your existence. ā
"The requirements for first-order professionals are very low, as long as you touch the special energy required by your profession. The warrior monk's words are enough to awaken the qi, the mage is an elemental power, rubbing a small fireball or something, the thief doesn't even need to master the power of the shadow (the difficulty is high), he will be able to use some thief skills, and the threshold for the ranger is also low, and he can pass without the power of nature. ā
Well, thinking of this, Rorschach couldn't wait to hit his head against the wall.
Can you pass without the force of nature? It is not necessary to be able to pass with the force of nature, and besides, the skill itself has also been hinted at.
"Camouflage using the power of nature. During the hunt, Sunana did teach me. ā
During that chase, in order to avoid being discovered by the prey, Sunana did teach Rorschach various camouflage techniques, borrowing the power of nature to hide her figure.
It's just that Rorschach used it as a camouflage color similar to the jungle training of special forces, and even knowing that Sunana was a ranger was a later thing, how could he think that this was a ranger's special ability.
[To be precise, it's the first-order ranger magic technique: camouflage technique, show them it, if I guess correctly, it will be more interesting.........]
The last voice became smaller and smaller, but the malice in it was undisguised, but in order not to become a ranger so inexplicably, and become the laughing stock of those in the know, Rorschach could only comply with this life-saving request.
Rorschach took a deep breath and stabilized his body, summoning the forces of nature, as if he had merged with his surroundings.
"It shouldn't be anything, I'm using it normally over there, and Sunana still scolds me for being a pig's head. ā
But there is one thing that Rorschach did not think clearly, in Ansolen, Rorschach is a golden elf, a magical race with obvious advantages in elemental magic.
And here, he is a half-blood wood spirit, or a special wood spirit that has been blessed by the main god of nature.
And the wood spirits, who have vaguely become the pillars of the natural camp, are best at all kinds of natural magic, and they are born to be masters of the power of nature.
So, when Rorschach used the camouflage technique to summon the forces of nature, the forces of nature that were invited almost killed him.
And in the eyes of onlookers, Rorschach, who was the focus, disappeared in an instant.
"He's gone!
"Dayday camouflage! Impossible, at such a young age, how can it be daytime camouflage!"
"No, at least 30 of us were looking at him! ā
At this time, Rorschach, who was standing still, looked confused, and the bad god sister in his ears had already laughed completely.
[Haha, that's true. ć
Camouflage and shadow stealth have many similarities in their manifestations, but they are also fundamentally different.
Stealth is to let yourself be covered by the power of shadows, to become "invisible", to be de facto change, and to do the same in front of the eyes of others.
Camouflage, on the other hand, is to blend in with the surrounding environment, becoming "unnoticeable", which is a change in the sense of existence.
Obviously, when you are being watched, this ability becomes unusable, and the gaze of multiple people will greatly increase the difficulty of camouflage, disappearing in front of more than thirty people, all of whom are professional rangers........
[Sunana wants me to tell you, she can't do it, congratulations on your success in disguise, but if you dare to use the ability she taught to peep into the women's locker room or something....... she will personally break your third foot. ć
"Ahem, sorry. ā
Rorschach patted the examiner Edwin on the shoulder, and Edwin suddenly realized that Rorschach was actually behind him.
"Ahh
The examiner shuddered, but the professional ranger squatted on the ground.
Looking at Rorschach's eyes again, no, the eyes of all the rangers looking at Rorschach are not just respect and recognition, but fear from the bottom of their hearts.
"If he stabs me in the neck......."
Camouflage doesn't actually work as well as stealth, and it's hard to move objects without attracting the attention of outsiders.
The massive force of nature and the affinity of nature allowed Rorschach to do something that even legendary rangers could not do, maybe this is just a low-level magic technique, but to take the lives of others, it only takes a knife in a key part...... There is never a need to divide the low and high ranks.
"Well, I messed up again. ā
The ghostly expressions around him couldn't communicate at all, Rorschach shook his head helplessly, took the ranger badge from the examiner, and turned his head to leave.
And when he just left the shooting range, the exclamations and exclamations of disbelief were completely heard, and some people even guessed the details of Rorschach.
"........ you haven't noticed, he has a G-game emblem with a golden blessing on his chest, which is only owned by the upper echelons of the game church, and he ....... he is the one who has been rumored recently. ā
"Recognized as the most terrifying newcomer in the last two years?
"Yes, that's him. In order to avenge his companions, he tracked in the demon fog for seven days and seven nights, but cruelly played with the prey to kill once a day, drained the blood of the prey, and let the prey cry in fear The evil taste killer - the ghost in the fog!"
