Chapter 36: Proof of Strength (I)
Ronin hasn't rested since last night. At first, he still had the heart to memorize the correspondence between the enchantment material and the enchantment effect, but in the second half of the night, Luo Ning was exhausted and his brain was completely empty, and he could only keep working with his hands, repeating the entire process of enchantment mechanically but accurately. From this moment on, Luo Ning felt as if he had returned to the modern world that was driven into the distance by high technology, and returned to the days when he swiped his books overnight to upgrade and save equipment.
Ten times, fifty times, sixty times... When Luo Ning threw the equipment in his hand onto the pile of finished products beside him for the sixty-seventh time, his right arm tightened, and he was suddenly caught by a soft little hand. Ronin lowered his head, only to see Wendy pouting angrily, looking up at him with a complaining face, as if waiting for him to admit his mistake. Xu was too tired, Luo Ning only felt that his sister's entire figure was twisting and shaking.
"Wen... Wendy?!" Ronin opened his mouth, but found that his voice was extremely hoarse, like a big-nosed old witch with a stiff back.
Wendy didn't answer, but watched him silently, and the moisture in her eyes gathered more and more, and she was about to turn into tears.
Luo Ning knows that this is her consistent way of being coquettish since she was a child. Every time Wendy made this move, he could only surrender obediently: "I'm really afraid of you! Okay, it's my fault, I shouldn't have worked overnight!"
Wendy's little hand loosened a little, and then grabbed it again: "What else?"
Luo Ning really wanted to shake off those little hands and run away, but as soon as he heard his sister's voice, he seemed to have lost all his strength, so he had to continue to admit his mistake: "I should listen to you and sleep when I'm tired." If I do it again in the future, I'll be captured and eaten by the red-haired devils of the Andes!" She nodded in satisfaction, and finally let go.
At this moment, a deep male voice suddenly sounded. The thick metallic texture reminded Luo Ning of some singers he had heard in his previous life.
"So... You're Miss Wendy's brother?"
Luo Ning looked up and saw a tall man in a black cloak standing in the doorway, looking at him with those small brown-red eyes. And Lena and the others seemed to have known him for a long time, and walked directly into the house bypassing the man.
He noticed the black scales on the man's face, and he was curious, and couldn't help asking, "That's right, may I ask ...... you?"
On the way here, Acro was told by Lina and lied, "Acro Dragonyan, a half-dragon druid." For the next ten days, I'll keep Wendy safe. But Wendy once told me that if you died, she wouldn't live alone. So in order to complete the commission, I will also protect you from being killed by the demons!"
"No need!" Ronin found a sackcloth to wipe his hands clean, "Presumably you are the helper that Lena paid for, right? Although my skills are not good, I still have some life-saving means!"
Akuro's face turned cold: "It seems that you don't believe in my strength, and you don't believe that I can protect you two at the same time!"
Luo Ning smiled: "Aren't you doubting my ability to protect myself?"
Acro pointed to the mountain of equipment next to him: "Those enchanted equipment are your masterpieces, right? As a blacksmith master, you should know more about your own value, and you should cherish your life more!"
Luo Ning spread his hands: "I enchanted those equipment, but I'm not a blacksmith grandmaster..." he patted the long sword at his waist, "I'm a serious warrior!
"Brother!" Wendy stood between the two, "If you do this again, I will fight with you, and let our two brothers and sisters die together!"
This hand can be regarded as a checkmate of Luo Ning. Not letting Wendy fight is the bottom line for him to stick to the end, but now it is in jeopardy.
Fortunately, as soon as Wendy's words fell, Acro raised Ronin's hand: "Miss Campbell, don't worry about leaving this matter to me." I'm a half-dragon with the blood of a dragon in my veins, so naturally I want to prove my strength with my fists! If I can't even win against your brother, what right do I have to protect you?"
Wendy knew that she couldn't beat the two of them, so she put her palm to Luo Ning's heart: "Okay, but at least you have to recover your spirit first!" Beside the two of them, Acro watched this scene excitedly, and the hand holding the dragon bone staff trembled. He felt that this was the closest he had come to that wish in more than twenty years.
The group did not go far, but after informing the owner of the blacksmith shop, they came to a small open space in the backyard of the blacksmith where they planned to plant vegetables and fruits for the coming year.
"My conditions are very simple..."Acro slammed the dragon bone staff on the ground, and countless dark blue energy particles suddenly appeared in front of him, spiraling and converging like a whirlwind, condensing into an elegant and cold blue-gray figure. With toned and powerful limbs, cold and fierce eyes, and fangs and claws glowing with cold light, it was a sixth-order demonic beast that looked extremely strong—the Secret Pattern Leopard. But the difference is that although this secret leopard is also clad in a smooth skin with a blue-gray background and pitch-black spots, it is a translucent soul state, which looks even more difficult to fathom.
"This Secret Pattern Leopard Spirit has a strength comparable to that of a sixth-order demonic beast! As long as you can hurt him, I will recognize your strength!" Seeing Luo Ning's face turn angry, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hmph, don't think I'm looking down on you! The beast spirit is the druid's most important combat partner, and the secret pattern leopard spirit I summoned is also an extremely powerful existence! If you can deal with it, those high-level human professionals will naturally be no problem!"
Luo Ning complained in his heart: "But you are still summoning after all, not the most powerful 'Transfiguration Technique' of the Druid!" He shook his head and laughed twice, and said helplessly: "Since you want to test me with summoning, then please also taste the power of my summoning technique!"
As he spoke, Luo Ning's palm shone with golden light, and he instantly summoned a golden-bodied warrior monk.
"Ami-Buddha!"
To his surprise, the puppet he summoned not only changed its outfit, but also implemented a voice. This voice sounds detached and expansive, but it has the taste of a high-ranking monk. And on his body, there is also an extra gilded robe made of gold wire, and a black-rimmed monk's hat with the word "Buddha" written on the front.
Luo Ning wondered in his heart, and hurriedly opened the puppeteer's skill tree to check. It doesn't matter if you look at it, the surprise comes to the door one after another.
"This is upgraded again?eh, wait, why did you even change your name?" Luo Ning looked at it again, making sure he wasn't dazzled. In the name of the puppet, the words "Golden Warrior Monk" can no longer be found, and instead of it, the title of "First Warrior Monk" is missing. Looking at the data again, this evolved "First Warrior Monk" not only doubled the six-dimensional collective of "life, attack, defense, evasion, luck and skill effects", but even the skill bar was full, with six more.
"Shotgun for gun! Proper shotgun for gun!" Luo Ning was excited, thinking that this time not only could he hurt the leopard, but maybe he could directly overturn it with a stick! But out of prudence, he still opened the skill tree system, found the "Intermediate Attribute Enhancement" column on the second layer of the puppeteer's skill tree, and chose to activate it without hesitation!
