078 Legends of the Countryside
After the success of the Transcendent Advancement.
Roger's strength can be described as growing by leaps and bounds.
The first is the improvement of basic attributes.
Constitution and perception have been increased by 20% on the basis of the previous ones.
And with the contribution of the Red Sleeve Brotherhood, agility has increased by as much as 72% in one go!
In Mystra, the average person's agility is 9.
Now with 15 agility points, Roger is already three times as many as them. (Note 1)
The current Roger can be said to be as fast as the wind in the true sense!
And that's when it's useless for him to keep 4 free attribute points-
Since none of the stats reached the threshold of 16 points, Roger chose to keep these stat points as always, and if it was not necessary, he was ready to use them when he was going to hit the transcendent (20 points) in one breath.
β¦β¦
The second is expertise.
Both of the initial specialties of a qigong practitioner are very useful.
However, the new specialization from Allport is a bit mediocre.
β¦β¦
"Clever tongue (3-ring specialty): You have an enviable eloquence, and you can always complete a brilliant quibble or deception in a few words"
β¦β¦
On the surface, this expertise is extremely useful in everyday life.
But in reality, this is not the case.
Social skills often need to work together to work well.
Roger speculated that Allport, a master of deception, had such specialties or skills as "reading words", "clever words", "bluffing", and "deceit".
Only the combination of these skills, combined with the occasional display of Icadore's strength, was it possible to build such a large gang of bandits on the East Coast and even in the Howl countryside.
And the "clever tongue" alone is probably only useful when showing off skills.
β¦β¦
In addition to "clever tongues".
Roger was forced to move up a level in the process of fighting the Dreadclaw Monster You Nong and Me Nong.
By the way, I got a level 25 career specialty.
In his opinion, this is a pretty good piece of expertise.
β¦β¦
"Listening to Voices (3 Ring Specialty): You can determine the enemy's position with your keen hearing."
β¦β¦
Not only does this feat, combined with Shimmer Vision, work wonders in dungeon battles, but it also gives Roger an additional avenue to obtain combat information.
This means additional fault tolerance β
When the eyes deceive him, he still has ears to trust.
β¦β¦
Finally, there's the skill aspect.
Aside from the "deboning" and "kidney strikes" that come with upgrades.
The skill that comes with a Level 1 Qigong Master is "Walk Against the Wind"!
β¦β¦
"Ride the Wind: You have the ability to harness the wind, which will be greatly enhanced in the moonlight."
β¦β¦
Seeing this skill, Roger's eyes lit up, thinking that he had obtained the Rush Magic Skill.
But after reading the instructions carefully, he realized that this thing did not give him the ability to fly directly.
It's not so much about resisting the wind, but about borrowing the wind, or even rubbing the wind.
Here's an example.
If Roger is jumping on the spot and using "Ride the Wind".
At most, he slid out for ten meters like a wild duck.
But if he jumps off a cliff.
At least it can fly more than ten kilometers.
It would have been even better if the wind had been a little stronger β he might have just gotten lost.
Considering that Xia Yin has his own "gliding" and "slow falling", there is no danger to his life if he fails to resist the wind.
But in terms of application scenarios.
Walking against the wind is much worse than the land escape of the untraced guest.
Only in terms of speed, the former should be superior.
To be honest, as soon as Roger learned this skill, he couldn't help but fill it up (219 points).
He was desperate to find a cliff or something to try.
But under the influence of reason, he still controlled himself.
After reluctantly glancing at the data panel.
He changed into a comfortable position.
Fall asleep in a hollow in a tree.
β¦β¦
A day later in the evening.
On the highest mountain in the Hor countryside.
A figure was struggling to climb upwards.
He's fast, but his movements are a little rusty.
"I'm so tired of climbing the mountain!"
I looked at the steep rocks ahead.
Roger wiped a handful of sweat from his face in pain.
Once the advanced mission was completed, Roger had no reason to stay near the East Coast.
Came out for half a month.
He still misses his good brothers who he hasn't seen in a long time.
So as soon as he woke up, he set foot on the way home.
Along.
He is like a child who has just gotten a new toy and drives "Ride the Wind" whenever he has the chance.
It's a lot of fun.
He was quite satisfied with the results:
As long as there is a slight difference in altitude, or a small gust of wind, he can fly a distance of hundreds of meters in one go.
The speed is also okay, at least much better than his feet rushing.
But Roger was still a little unpleasant.
So when he saw the highest mountain in the Hor countryside.
An evil thought was stirring in his mind.
"Don't die! Don't die! Don't die! β
There was a voice in his heart that warned him repeatedly.
At this time, another voice will always come out weakly:
"Just once! Just once! Just once! β
The two voices were evenly matched.
By the time he came to his senses, he was almost at the top of the mountain.
After all, it was evil thoughts that prevailed.
The human desire to fly has overcome the persecution gene engraved in the bones.
This made Roger impress himself.
β¦β¦
"Whew!"
The wind howled at the summit.
The moon hangs high overhead.
Roger stood on the highest point, overlooking the hill.
The idyllic landscape of the Hall countryside is in full view.
Far into the distance.
The backwater black tide on the east coast is clearly visible.
The thick fog of the Great Wetland persists all year round.
The buildings south of the Serra River are like chess pieces, and it is impossible to distinguish which ones are ruins and which are towns.
Only Paramount Manor.
Even in the dark night, it looks vibrant and green.
This is the case.
Roger really wanted to write poems to help the fun.
It's a pity that he lacks the talent for this.
The only thing you can do is to take a leap!
Ride the wind!
In an instant, the perspective in front of me began to shake and tilt wildly.
But only for a moment.
Roger got the bearings.
The skill of resisting the wind seemed to be engraved into his instinct.
He opened his arms and embraced the wind excitedly.
The wind repaid him with a bitter cold.
β¦β¦
Under the gaze of the moonlight, Roger flew faster and faster, and in just ten minutes, he crossed the entire Hall countryside!
Poof.
When he landed firmly on the border of Paramount Manor and looked back, he could no longer see the mountain.
Turn around.
The excitement on Roger's face vanished.
He stepped smoothly into the territory of Dawning Town.
The look between his eyebrows also regained his former calm and alertness.
Then.
An unexpected prompt appears in the data bar.
β¦β¦
"You have gained a lot of attention in the Howl Countryside, +200 regional reputation"
"You've Reached a New Milestone - Legend of the Country"
"Country Legends: Your hunt for members of the Red Sleeve Brotherhood in the Howl countryside has been widely circulated, the news of the destruction of Dead Omen has been hailed as a miracle by the survivors, and tonight, many people have seen you fly high in the sky.
In the HΓ΄le Country, Capone Manor, and the East Coast, a legend of the White Feather Wings is brewing that will soon spread to the surrounding areas.
You have become a legend in folklore.
A true hero"
β¦β¦
"What's the use of heroes?"
Roger snorted heavily.
But the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose upward.
Even the footsteps of going home.
It also seems a little brisker.
β¦β¦
The next morning.
The living room of Roger's house.
Levi sat relaxed on the old couch.
Roger walked over, put down a cup of chrysanthemum tea on Levi's right hand, and then said unhurriedly:
"...... so"
"In the little month I've been away, the manor has been in a state of calm?"
Li Wei gently pinched the clay cup, and after a brief thanks, he nodded and said:
"That's true."
"After you left, the manor was calm, and even the most common monster harassment incident did not happen."
"Having said that, it was actually very calm in the manor before, as if it had been since you moved in......"
At this point, Levi suddenly stopped talking.
"Ah, sorry......"
The young man clumsily explained:
"I, I, I, I really don't mean that."
Roger raised an eyebrow:
"Which means?"
Levi was silent for a moment.
Roger smiled, and didn't bother with the young man.
This kind of thing seems to him to be a matter of pure luck.
It's okay to joke.
He wouldn't take it seriously.
"I think it's just a coincidence."
Seeing that Roger was silent, Levi scratched his head and tried to explain:
"Let's just say that you didn't happen to hit the manor at a good time......"
He wasn't done yet.
The sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.
The two of them went out to take a look.
The visitor was a heavily armed patrolman, and Roger had the impression of him as if he were Levi's companion.
"Levi, report to Dawning Town!"
"West Side ......"
"The skeletons are coming!"
The man dropped it.
Then he hurried away on horseback.
β¦β¦
(Note 1: This book sets that for every 1 point increase in basic attributes, the actual increase is 20%, and 6 points is an increase of 198%, that is, about three times)
