Chapter 23: Bloodline Talent
Glenn heard movement outside and came to the mouth of the stone cave.
He quietly poked an eye out of the cave and watched the unicorns.
[Strange, isn't that the unicorn I scratched before?] The old guy actually got together with them, maybe he wanted to gather strength to kill me at once? 】
He couldn't hear the unicorns talking clearly, but he felt that it was not good for him that so many unicorns were together.
Gran bit the broken horn in his mouth, ready for the unicorns to flee as soon as they approached.
As a result, the unicorns scattered, leaving him unclear for a while.
[What's going on?] What did they do? It's not like you're trying to pick a time to come back. 】
Gran stayed in the cave trembling, not even daring to do anything, until nightfall.
As a result, the unicorns did not move, and he let down half of his guard.
[Although it may be the calm before the storm, it may also be that I am thinking too much, so I should seize the time to plan for the second evolution first.] 】
Gran Open System,
Received the reward for the 'Winged Herald' quest, earning 100 Evolution Points and the talent 'Flying'.
He now has a total of 606 evolution points, which Gran believes will give him a huge boost.
Then Gran discovers something new in the evolutionary tree on the second page of the system.
[Do you want to increase the Pegasus' bloodline in the next evolution, what kind of thing?] 】
Pegasus, a fantasy creature that fits the title of 'Winged Herald'.
The image that Gran can think of is probably the prettier Guri.
If Guri hadn't been half-grounded, Gran would have been much more in awe of it, after all, it was probably a winged Pegasus... Right?
Gran wasn't sure what Guri was.
But in the final analysis, what does this have to do with the sudden addition of a function to the system?
There is an additional description in the evolutionary tree on the second page of the system.
It is said that Glenn can choose to choose new bloodlines in his evolution, and weaken some of them when he has multiple bloodlines, so as to affect the direction of the next evolution.
Bloodline is a very strange talent, and Gran found that his dragon bloodline did not have a rarity, only a concentration.
He felt that this dragon bloodline was much more important than other talents, and it must have been this talent that led to the evolution and made him the lizard he is now.
Now he has the ability to acquire other bloodline talents.
And the first biological bloodline he can choose to add is the Pegasus bloodline.
If it's not a coincidence, it should have something to do with Guri.
[Could it be because of the friendship agreement with them?] 】
That's the only reason Glenn could come up with, and if that was the case, the system would be able to develop more and more things.
He can find more races, befriend them, and get their bloodline from the system.
【... It feels strange, is it borrowed by marriage? 】
But these bloodlines are actually given by the system, and have nothing to do with the feeling of making friends with races.
But is it really necessary to add these bloodlines to oneself?
Pegasus' bloodline should be to give him some unicorn characteristics.
[Well, the forehead also has root horns? By the way, will it have something to do with the broken corners you eat? 】
The unicorn-related thing that Gran has done, in addition to making a friendship agreement with the unicorn clan, is that he has eaten a lot of unicorn broken horns today.
[Could it be that the real way is to eat?] Chances are, evolution points are also earned primarily by eating. 】
With Gran thinking so, he would have to think differently, not to make friends with those races, but to find a way to eat them.
... As soon as I thought about making friends, I thought about eating them again.
Gran felt that there must be a problem with one of the ideas in the system.
However, he also thought that this system had the kind of mission of choosing to make friends and kill before, and it was also possible that there were two ways to obtain blood.
But if he could get the bloodline talent by eating, why didn't he unlock this feature earlier?
I've eaten insects and birds for a long time, so at least I have to have some insect blood or something.
[Isn't it too weak, although Pegasus doesn't feel as good as the Ancestral Dragon, it's also much more powerful than these two things.] 】
Gran boldly guessed that the biological bloodlines he could obtain were those that were relatively good.
He thought it would be fine, at least he wouldn't make himself a worm by mistake.
It seems that in the future, there will be more ways to improve in addition to drawing talent pools, and use bloodline talents to gain the strengths of other creatures.
But Gran couldn't help but worry that if he had too many bloodline talents, he wouldn't make himself weaker.
Although there is no reason that pure blood must crush hybridization, it feels strange that the left is mixed with a little bit and the right is mixed with a little, and the blood flowing on the body is not a cocktail.
Besides, it didn't say that the bloodline would only gain the strengths of that creature, and the disadvantages should not be less.
So Glenn decided to wait and see for a while before considering adding the bloodline talent later.
In the second evolution, he still plans to take a more modest approach first - only using ordinary talents.
Gran opens the talent pool, and obtains the probability of up talent or bloodthirsty instinct and elemental perception enhancement, this talent pool is not over yet.
But the words 'coming to an end' on the talent pool stimulated Gran's gambler mentality.
He began to consider whether to draw this talent pool again, because of the experience in the morning, Gran felt that this 'Elemental Perception Enhancement' was the key talent needed to communicate with the elves.
Is he going to spend precious evolution points to communicate with the little things he can't see?
[What's the use of being able to understand what a fairy is saying?] Can you get them to help gather intelligence, is it worth drawing this talent for this purpose? 】
Gran felt that this was how the unicorns worked with the elves, which was a useful practice.
However, he felt that this was not enough for him to spend a lot of evolution points in order to win the 'Elemental Perception Enhancement'.
Gran thinks that goblins are not that simple, and that he has the ability to understand the language of the dryads, but he can't understand the language of the elves.
In a sense, it can be said that the fairy language is more advanced than the dryad language.
But it may also be low-level, after all, it is certainly easier for ordinary people to understand Chinese and English than to understand dog barking.
Gran felt that he couldn't think of a result if he thought about it any longer, so he decided to go straight to the actual action.
[Let's go to the water source tomorrow to investigate, and by the way, ask Guri what the goblins can do. 】
With this planned, Gran planned to rest for a while and climb to a corner of the cave.
If you look into the cave from the outside, you can only see this position at most, and you can't see it at all from the inside.
Gran decided to rest in this position, not only to keep the unicorns outside, but also to detect the situation outside
.
As a result, he spent the night in fear and without incident.
When she woke up the next day, Gran was hungry.
He remembered that he hadn't eaten normal food all day yesterday, and he had a plan to forage for food.
So he found Guri in the settlement, and Gran said to him, "Guri, I need to leave here for a while, and go to the forest to feed and fill my stomach." ”
"If you're hungry, you can let your people fetch food for you, you just need to stay in the settlement."
"There's no need, it's better to find your own food, and I don't like others to kill for me. Unicorns don't need to eat meat, they don't have to kill creatures for it, we have to separate ourselves from the stone wurm. Granhu said that he was simply worried that the unicorns were poisoning their food.
"Do you think so? Well, it does make a lot of sense. Okay, you can go, and feel free to talk to us if you need anything else. ”
Guri deliberately showed a convincing look.
"See you later." Gran leaves the unicorn colony and forages for food in the forest.
