Chapter 17: New Abilities
Wren returned to his room, still considering Roger's proposal.
Become a witcher?
Wren knows a little bit about witchers, but not in depth, only that they are a group of experts in hunting monsters.
Monsters are demons and creatures contaminated by evil energy, and there are many types and large numbers. They often lurk in the human world to wreak havoc, and the main duty of the witcher is to search for and destroy these monsters.
Because of the frequent interaction with monsters, the witchers will inevitably be contaminated with some demonic and evil energy, which makes people unconsciously disgusted when they get close.
Plus, the witchers always track down monsters.
Their appearance often means that a tragedy or tragedy has occurred.
Over time, the witcher has become an ominous omen, and in some ignorant and superstitious countries, people believe that it is the witcher who brings bad luck and bad luck, and they are very unwelcome to the witcher, and even take the initiative to drive them away.
Of course, this idea circulates only among backward ordinary people.
In the otherworld, the witcher is a very powerful otherworldly class.
The Demon Hunter was born relatively late, once an advanced branch of the "Ranger", and only gradually emerged in the last few hundred years, and then became independent. Therefore, the fighting style of the Witcher is a bit similar to that of the Ranger, with swordsmanship as the mainstay, supplemented by several spells with different effects, which is very comprehensive.
As you can see from the name of the class, the best thing the witchers are at is the ability to track monsters, and they are very sensitive to the aura of evil energy.
Each Demon Hunter has a silver sword that specializes in dealing with monsters, forged from the rare "Wecher Mithril", which can cause more damage to monsters than ordinary steel swords.
The Silver Sword works wonders for monsters, but it is only powerful when fighting other types of enemies, so the Witcher also has a regular steel sword that can be used alternately at any time.
This is the reason why witchers always carry dual swords, and it has become their most distinctive feature.
Claydon Academy, where Wren is located, does not have a teacher for the Witcher profession.
It is said that the Demon Hunters have their own exclusive school, and they are very secretive, and their inheritance model is still based on master and apprentice, so the number of Demon Hunters has always been small.
Coming from different schools, the inheritance of the witchers is also different, and they call themselves schools.
Wren had heard a teacher introduce the school of witchers before, and there were more than a dozen schools in total, but only four of the most powerful and mature ones were the bear school, the wolf school, the cat school, and the snake school.
This distinction comes from the difference in the main soul chosen by the Demon Hunter after his second soul transformation, and the difference in battle winds begins to appear.
Wren didn't know which demon souls the four schools fused, and this was the secret of each school.
"Roger said he could invite me to join his school......" Wren was very tempted by the proposal, Roger had been wearing a wolf head pendant necklace, indicating that he was most likely from the wolf school, although it is not known what style the wolf school is, but it doesn't matter, because Roger is a legend!
Any legendary transcendent is a pivotal figure in the Empire.
You don't have to think much to know that Roger has a very high status in the wolf school, and if he becomes Roger's apprentice, he will have a thick thigh!
Not to mention, Wren still has the "Mark of Strife" on his body now, and it is best to stay by the side of a powerful protector until the mark dissipates.
And Roger is the most suitable person.
Wren thought about it for a long time and didn't make a decision right away.
He hadn't performed the Soul Transformation Ritual yet, so he wasn't sure if he would succeed, and even if he did, he wouldn't necessarily be able to turn into a witcher. In fact, the witcher is very talented, no less than those powerful church classes, after all, it is a class that can cast spells.
Moreover, Roger did not ask for an immediate consent, and waited until he passed the soul transformation ritual to go to him.
If the ritual fails, then naturally everything is suspended.
"Wait until I've performed the Soul Transformation Ritual and see what the situation is, and then decide whether or not I want to become a demon hunter. ”
Wren didn't think much about it anymore, and lay down on the bed, but found that he was not a little sleepy, and the whole person was still in a state of high excitement, extremely energetic.
Moreover, he also found that even if he was lying still, his physical fitness was improving little by little.
An indescribable force flows through the body, and everywhere it passes, whether it is musculoskeletal or blood vessels, it is as if it has been recharged, and it continues to be strengthened, over and over again, and you can feel the changes every once in a while.
"This feeling ......"
"It's so cool!"
Wren was almost intoxicated, he opened the interface of his mobile phone, and the circle of a hundred small grids representing electricity was all filled with green, just looking at it was very comfortable.
"The power is full, and you can use it casually in the future, it's so capricious. ”
Wren's eyes fell on the few icons that had just been activated, and after counting, the number of icons that could be used increased by five!
One of the most striking icons, which he had noticed before, was the overall shape of a microphone, a microphone, with a distorted pointed ear at the top of the microphone surrounded by several curved wavy lines.
"What can a microphone do?" Wren turned on the icon with suspicion.
Then, he heard countless voices in his ears!
The sound of human voices, wind and friction, all kinds of voices are noisy and chaotic, almost bursting the head.
Wren turned off the microphone as fast as he could, covering his head for a moment before he recovered.
He scratched his head, finally realizing what it was.
A microphone is actually a microphone, which is used to receive sound in various frequency bands, convert it into an electrical signal, and then amplify or reduce noise.
And after the phone has been mutated, the function of the microphone has also been enhanced.
It allows you to hear sounds in all frequency bands, as well as hear farther, even the smallest sounds can be heard very clearly like a radio.
"It's super hearing!"
Wren was pleasantly surprised, carefully turning on the microphone again, and after a few attempts to adjust it, he quickly got used to it.
In the midst of a large number of chaotic sounds, he only needs to lock on to one of them, and the chaotic sound waves become orderly, from blurry to clear, quickly trace to its source, judge its distance, and the other sounds weaken at the same time, becoming a background sound that can be ignored.
"I'll just say, you can't have been so lucky all night, it's my turn to play the cards......" It was a guest in the hotel lobby downstairs, his voice sounding slightly tired, but revealing a sense of excitement.
"Ah...... Not...... Oh, Marcus, you're awesome, push harder......"
Coquettish cries mingled with the man's gasp for breath, from a resident next door to the hotel.
"Is it so exciting? Wren shifted his attention slightly in embarrassment, and the thought-provoking voice quickly faded out of his ears and lowered.
Puff puff, puff, a nightingale flew in the night sky and landed on a tree at the end of the street, with a light and melodious chirp from time to time.
In the stinking ditch under the tree, a fat rat poked its head, suddenly emerged from the crevice in the stone where it was hiding, flew and ran, and made a series of noises with its four feet in the mud, and finally hid in another hole.
Within a radius of hundreds of meters, even the slightest vibration caused by sound waves will be picked up by the microphone, then adjusted and amplified, passed through the ear, and transmitted to Wren's brain.
Countless sound waves make up a complete world in the brain, which is a completely new perspective on the world.
Even if he loses his eyes and becomes blind, Wren can "hear" the world as it is, carry out daily activities, and even fight people, and is more acute than a person with sound facial features.
Wren felt it for a long time and quickly mastered the skills of using the microphone.
He named this super hearing "The Sound of Everything".
"With such a strong sense of hearing, I still need to train a lot, and I have to turn it on often when I go out in the future, whether it is tracking or anti-tracking, which is very useful. If the Shadow Blade Killer is near, I'll be able to spot it in advance. ”
"It's a pity that the power is draining too fast. ”
Wren groped for the sound of everything, and the power dropped by one square, only 99% left, no longer a full grid, although he knew that he could recover after resting, but it still made him a little uncomfortable.
He continued to look at the second activated icon.
This icon is very simple and unambiguous, it is a three-dimensional gyroscope.
Wren was a little expectant when he saw the icon.
Every mobile phone is installed with a gyroscope, it is a sensor, used to sense the movement and direction in space, as well as the transmission of force, the realization of many functions of the mobile phone is inseparable from the snake snail, that is, I don't know what kind of ability can I bring to myself after mutation.
He turned on the gyroscope, but nothing changed.
"Damn, I'm stupid. ”
Wren patted his head, the gyroscope is sensing movement changes, and he is lying motionless on the bed, so it's strange that it can be useful.
He quickly got up, and as soon as he stood on the ground, he noticed something unusual.
An inexplicable sense came to mind, in the process of moving from the bed to the ground, every movement of the body was steady and fast, as if carefully calculated, without a trace of superfluous movements.
At this moment, he stood still, but he had a feeling that he seemed to be standing more "steadily".
"If someone pushes me now, I guess I'll be like a tumbler and get back to balance right away. ”
Wren took a few steps and suddenly had a new feeling.
It's hard for him to describe the feeling, the body is like a complex and sophisticated machine, every movement is in his own precise control, between the body and the limbs, the transmission of force, all the processes are clearly felt.
Wren looked at his hands, his ten fingers swaying back and forth, faster and faster, more and more frequent, and finally turned into a cloud of phantom.
After lasting for more than ten seconds, the phantom suddenly disappeared, and the fingers were as stable as stones.
"With my hands, they should be no worse than the ranger's 'dexterous hands'!"
Wren smirked and drew his sword against the head of the bed.
This sword is Esperger's side sword, which he brought back as a trophy, it is a one-and-a-half sword, which can be held single or dual-wielded, with suitable weight and fine workmanship, it is a rare good sword, and if it is sold, it can be worth at least a dozen gold shields.
As soon as the sword was in his hands, Wren had a strange touch, and the sword seemed to have become a part of his body, and he knew every detail well.
The center of gravity, size, and weight of the sword are all familiar to you, as familiar as a sword that has been used for many years.
Wren spent three years at the academy, and his main learning was a set of swordsmanship, called "Imperial Military Swordsmanship".
This set of swordsmanship style is based on defense and counterattack as the main way of playing, holding the front line during the battle, steadily defending, the action is clean and neat, both offensive and defensive, it is the most popular swordsmanship in the empire, and many people learn this set of swordsmanship at the beginning, but it is easy to learn and difficult to master.
Imperial military swordsmanship has four gestures, and Wren is most accustomed to starting in the "plough style", slightly sideways, his legs are separated and sinking, and the sword is placed in front of his waist with both hands, and the tip of the sword is diagonally facing forward.
His eyes froze, and he strode forward and stabbed straight forward.
There seemed to be a flash of cold light in the room, and the air was punctured and there was a whistling sound.
This sword Wren had been practicing for three years, but he had never stabbed such a precise, swift, and powerful sword, even the swordsman of the academy could not do it.
Wren exhaled contentedly, threw the sword in his hand, and fell into the scabbard with a snap.
