Chapter Twenty-Six: Mysterious Baptism (Ask for Recommendation~Ask for Collection~)
As Jason finished speaking, a warm current escaped his stomach.
They turned into specks of light.
It's like a firefly, and it's like a starlight.
Then, out of these rays, words were born.
sI oT Yn!
Picture Complex Language!
These newly-born Tufu words began to absorb a little bit of light, and when the light was completely gone, only three characters were left to bloom in front of Jason's eyes.
Then, they melted into Jason's body.
When it comes, it's the stomach.
When you return, it's the heart.
The diagram attached to the wall of Jason's heart flashes with each beat of Jason's heart.
The blood that flows from the heart begins its first changes under such scintillation.
Jason was unable to perceive such a change for the time being.
But he could sense the difference.
His vision, hearing, and brain were getting clearer.
The most immediate change is in the attributes.
In front of the retina, Jason saw a hint -
[Accept the mysterious baptism and judge the ......]
[Spirit +0.2, Perception +0.2]
……
And underneath the hint is [Protect against Evil (Basic)]
[Protecting against Evil (Basic): You need to know Tufu and use some gestures, and consume a lot of physical strength to activate this secret technique of defense and expulsion of evil, which is passed down in the inheritance of the Night's Watch and some other forces as a secret method; Learning it means that you have really 'touched' the mystical side, and you have some self-preservation power, but you don't expect too much, you have only mastered the basics of it;
(Note 1: It's a sigil that doesn't require support, but if you have a sunflower or pollen, you'll be able to complete it more easily.)
(Note 2: There is no fixed time for the completion of the gesture, it all depends on your hand speed)
(Note 3: When you don't have enough stamina, you will be counterattacked and damaged, but the effect of defense and expulsion of evil still exists)
……
"Baptism?"
This special word made Jason stunned.
He raised his hand to his chest and felt the powerful beating of his heart in his chest.
He could feel that the scene just now was not just a so-called increase in attributes, but a fundamental change.
It was a powerful beginning!
Although it may be inconspicuous at the beginning and at the moment, when it reaches a certain level, it will naturally undergo qualitative changes.
However, it will be a long time later.
Jason thought as he shifted his gaze to the introduction to Protecting Against Evil (Basic).
"The secret method of the night watchman, or can you be considered a night watchman only if you have mastered the [protection against evil]?"
Jason guessed.
And the message of 'his teacher', such speculation is almost certain.
However, the next few annotations left Jason unsure.
"Below the blade level?"
"Does this mean monster level?"
"If the monster that can be solved with a knife is at the blade level, then the blade level is ...... below."
The uncertain speculation, and the description of 'below the blade level', made Jason very insecure, and he almost subconsciously looked at what [Protecting Evil] needed to reach the next level.
[Increases protection against evil (basic → entry), requires 6 points of satiety. 】
……
An expected number.
"I still need 1 point of satiety left, I need more satiety!"
Jason glanced at [Satiety] and then set his eyes on the notebook that had brought him many surprises.
This time, reading without any obstacles allowed him to quickly find what he was looking for.
'Tungsten Greyhound, is a kind of guard dog bred by the witch Tungsten in order to protect her own herb garden, they are cunning and cruel, in groups, with excellent scale defense, but soft belly, although called a hunting dog, but it is far from a real hunting dog, some people suspect that this is a different species, but with the death of the witch Tungsten Silk, no one knows the true origin of this hunting dog. ’
However, after the witch hunt, it did not make the Tungsten Greyhounds disappear, on the contrary, because they were easier to breed and raise, and were used as guard dogs by more witches and wizards to protect their property, and of course, more to hunt, after all, that was their job; There was a cross between the Tungsten Greyhound and the ordinary dog in Enker, inheriting the strength of the Tungsten Greyhound and the loyalty and intelligence of the Ordinary Retriever, which was deeply loved by high-level people, and the price was extremely high (I have not seen the real thing, but it is just a rumor). ’
Unlike the previous stumbles, this time Jason easily translated the full text.
Then, he flipped through the notebook again.
He hoped to have found a technique similar to [Evil Protection].
But it's a pity that there is only one skill in the whole notebook [Protecting Evil], and the rest are all monster introductions.
"Similar tricks shouldn't be common."
"Or ......"
"It's 'my teacher' who thinks I can't master that much."
Jason pondered, carefully placing the notebook given to him by 'his teacher' on the inside of his jacket, on the side of his heart.
Two unexpected rescues were enough for him to understand that this notebook was much more than it seemed.
Although I have gained the most desired knowledge from it, it is better to keep it as a 'heart guard' than to put it on the shelf.
Then, Jason began to check his weapons and ammunition.
After confirming that there was no problem, he walked out of the room.
Stay in your room and there will be no food on the door.
If you want to eat, you naturally need to hunt.
Of course, there is one more thing that is more imminent.
Band-aid!
Bundy, who had been standing with him in the 'Moon Mask' club.
He's being targeted.
What about Bondi?
There is also a high chance of being targeted.
Jason wouldn't ignore the other party's death, after all, the two sides were working together quite happily, and he didn't want a sudden substitution.
……
Bundy, who had just returned from the Claughk Mine and Bottom Belt Reservoir Street, sat in the carriage and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Because, in those places, there are no strange changes like the 'moon mask'.
Even Bundy, a well-run sheriff, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he recalled the previous scene.
He had never faced anything like it.
In comparison, those monsters look much cuter.
Of course, this is also a comparison.
If he really faced those monsters, Bundy would not hesitate to pull out his gun and give the other party a shot.
"Monsters, moving corpses...... When did Lord become like this? ”
Bundy asked herself.
Then, shaking his head with a wry smile.
He didn't know the answer.
All he knew was that he was supposed to do the duty of a sheriff: to protect the civilians and to protect Lorde.
The rest?
His abilities are limited, and he can't manage so much.
Alas.
Sighing softly, Bundy pulled his beloved pipe out of his bosom and pressed it with one hand.
Exhaustion made him need tobacco to refresh himself, but before he could light the tobacco, a great force suddenly came from the left, causing Bundy to crash against the wall of the carriage.
Then, without waiting for Bundy's reaction, the world spiraled.
