Chapter 667: The Secret Behind the Dossier
As he went next, Antinoya explained to Zhao Xu which demons in the abyss had a good foundation, not because they were resistant to fighting, but because they could afford to exploit them.
For example, the challenge level 16 Giant Bull Demon has a strength of thirty-four points in the most basic version, and it is easy to brush fifty or sixty points, so as to transfer more than ten points of attributes.
There are only a hundred kinds of demons in the abyss that are well known and clearly recorded, and this is already a category that the most knowledgeable demon experts can understand.
But in fact, the true types of demons are simply innumerable, and even "10,000" is not an exaggeration.
Zhao Xu listened to Antinoya's analysis, and even the names of the "demon types" that sounded very unpopular when he heard them, he couldn't retrieve much relevant background with dozens of steps, as if it was just a flash in the pan of the abyss's history.
This made Zhao Xu grin, I am afraid that in order to find a suitable target for the "Gift of Extraction", Antinoya had plagued the abyss a lot.
Even he had the slightest delusion, compared to the nine-layer Bato Hell, which was so dangerous that even Antinoa needed to wear the artifact of "Pale Justice" to go to, the abyss itself was even more sinister like a back garden.
In addition to attribute transfer, the "Gift of Extraction" can also transfer "skill value", and the benefits in this regard can be said to be even more amazing.
The status of skills in Arthur is undoubted, and even after the majority of Earth players come to Earth in poverty, the only thing they can rely on is their respective "skills".
It can be said that skills dominate all aspects of life, even in battle.
In general, the most basic configuration of the adventure team, according to Arthur's consensus, is the "tactics of the herdsman".
The warrior acts as a physical input and meat shield, the mage controls the field and outputs magic, the priest serves as a healing position and part of the warrior function, and the thief, or wanderer, is responsible for the skill service.
The loitering seems to be nothing prominent, and the battle can only rely on a sneak attack to eat, but eliminating traps, stealthily searching for information, forging documents to deceive the enemy, and all kinds of means that can "overtravel" are indispensable for the existence of this profession.
Mainly because Arthur is not just a simple "battle" part, a long adventure is likely to spend most of the time communicating, gathering information, and the real battle is only a few minutes.
Therefore, the wanderer can firmly break through the restrictions of the eleven basic professions and rank among the "Iron Four Corners".
This point until it is broken by a "spell".
The Wanderer is able to act as a skill player because the class gains 8 skill points from the class at each level, which is a world away from the 2 points of the Mage.
No matter how strong the wanderer, when he encounters a dossier scholar, he can only kneel and call Dad.
The poet's ability to act as a second-in-command for skill service comes from the poet's spells that can stack skills.
And the dossier scholar also has a great spell table of poets, mages, priests, and forest rangers, which can be said to be a combination of skills.
Improvisation, one ring, increase skill caster level 2, lucky bonus.
Skill enhancement, one ring, increase skill 2 + caster level 2, environmental bonus.
Song of Knowledge, a ring, increases skill 4 + caster level 2, and adds value to performance.
These three spells linked to the caster's level alone are enough for a "dossier scholar" who has slightly brushed the caster's level to break through the upper limit of his skills.
This is especially true of the "Gift of Extraction", which can transfer half of the caster's skill bonus, and only requires the corresponding demon to have twice the skill bonus.
For example, if a Barlow Flame Demon bluffs more than 20 levels, he can transfer 10 level bluff bonuses.
The six attributes are still small, and there are dozens of major categories of skills, and Zhao Xu used to suffer for a long time in the mage apprenticeship stage because of the "knowledge" level and the "spell identification" level.
When he really finishes this round of abyssal card swiping journey, it can be said that he is a parathlon.
After all, those spells are all cast for one skill, and the bonus value of covering multiple skills is not too high, so Zhao Xu is not crazy enough to keep brushing skill spells, most of them need to be cast on the spot.
And as the two discussed various demonic targets, Nyaratotip, who was the closest to a "demon" and the embodiment of "chaos", finally couldn't stand the conversation between the two, and exploded the dream on the spot, expelling the two.
Zhao Xu was also in a trance, feeling the dull air around him and the majestic rain and fog above the sky again, and then realized that he had returned to Yanan's tower.
Antinoa, as for him, woke up at the same time as him, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Mentor, how long have I been asleep?"
"If I told you that it was less than 1 minute, would you believe it?"
"It's nature."
Zhao Xu was also apprehensive about this, looking at the glow of the "Gate of the Other World" in the painting scroll, he was also deeply vigilant.
And at this moment, the original appearance of the Seraphic Angel on the painting scroll was also transformed into a new girl's painting style on the spot, but the gaze in the eyes was still extremely deep, like the chaotic mist in the endless void.
"Huh?"
Antinoya also noticed the change in the format of the painting, explaining, "This image is the incarnation of the outer god who once visited the earth. β
"It seems that this time the earth passed through him, in addition to paying attention to the whole process, I am afraid that there are a lot of remnants, and he has quietly laid a back hand, maybe this time the face of the 'Dark Scroll' is also in his plan."
Zhao Xu instantly felt that his head was big, at this time, the earth crossing forces, in addition to the peeps of the abyss and demons, the surrounding Arthurian forces were also eyeing each other, and the gods who were trying to collect faith had penetrated into countless sands, and now there were actually more "outer gods" in the terrifying world to intervene?
However, he also noticed the word incarnation mentioned by Antinoia, and asked, "Teacher, is the one we just encountered a real being or an incarnation?" β
Antinoa shook her head, "I don't know, as an outer god who is known for his deception, what I know about him is that he often walks in human form, usually in the form of a tall, slender, cheerful, dark-skinned man. β
"As for the incarnations, there are the Night Growlers who look like ugly giants, the faceless gods who have the image of a two-winged human-faced sphinx, and the Lenogki who gives birth to a bat-like creature with two heads......"
Listening to the dozens of incarnations of Nyaratotip that Antinoya prayed all the way, Zhao Xu was a little shocked when he heard it.
None of Arthur's gods can have more incarnations than the godhead level, so the maximum is 20 caps.
Even Antinoa said all the way, but she didn't get to the incarnation of the girl walking on the earth on the painting scroll, with long silver hair, super long dull hair and turquoise eyes, Zhao Xu couldn't help but wonder, "Mentor, what is this one called?" β
"This, it seems to be called Naiako."
ββ¦β¦β
Zhao Xu always felt a little familiar.
"That's right, Midsummer."
Suddenly, Antinoa turned to face the entire town with an incomparably wide view, and in the distance the smoke of the cooking stove rose from time to time, passing the griffon transport, and the sound of their arms flapping could not help but startle the curiosity of the children below.
"What's fun?"
"It seems that from the moment I appeared, you never doubted my authenticity. You know, the outer god in the dream is the 'false' me who is completely based on your impressions. β
"Even that false existence is more in line with your imagination and impression than the real me. Could it be that you really have the means to judge whether I am true or false? β
Antinoa's slender body leaned against the railing, her eyes shining and her voice sounding.
"It's a secret." Zhao Xu pursed his lips lightly and raised an index finger.
"Huh."
Antinoya didn't get entangled, looking at Zhao Xu's gaze, it was more like admiring a few points.
"Good."
"Originally, I wanted to take you directly to the abyss for a quick victory, but now I have changed my mind."
Immediately, with a wave of his hand, Antinoya put away the scroll of "Scroll of Darkness" on the table and hid it.
This magic item involves the peeping of the gods outside the terrifying world, and it is no longer suitable for Zhao Xu's collection, so it is naturally managed by her, and even with the relationship between the two, Antinoya didn't even explain a word.
Zhao Xu is not ignorant of good and bad people.
He knew that Antinoa definitely didn't make this decision rashly, in fact, he didn't dare to say it just after the scroll was confiscated, otherwise he would just dig a hole for himself next time.
The outer god couldn't figure out the details of him, and he wouldn't rashly change someone to play it.
Zhao Xu even noticed that Antinoya deliberately stayed in the dream of the outer god, and the deep and long conversation with him about the "Gift of Extraction" was like a kind of "layout".
Waiting for the hand of the outer god "Nyara Totip".
Could it be that the outer god would definitely send an avatar to come?
"Prepare" for this situation, so put the trip to the abyss on hold for now?
Just when Zhao Xu lamented the twists and turns of his trip to the abyss, Antinoya suddenly spoke.
"Midsummer. Actually, that's what I'm going to tell you. The power of the outer gods of that terrifying world is beyond your imagination, and even if you understand the three creation dragons that once created Arthur as the existence of the outer gods. β
"Generally speaking, because ordinary people and the outer gods are not on the same scale, any exploration of these mysterious unknowns is very likely to lead to a catastrophic end."
Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but have a cold sweat behind his back, "Mentor, I know that curiosity kills cats, I won't even recall this name in the future, and I promise that I will never provoke it again." β
But after hearing this, Antinoya smiled softly.
"I'm sorry, Midsummer."
"Most of these unimaginable, indescribably powerful beings are not interested in human beings, but-"
"That outer god Nayarathotep, because of the nature of chaos, prefers to meddle and intervene, and even stare at ordinary people. From the moment He chooses to let you dream and meet you, you can't get rid of this fate. β
Hearing this, Zhao Xu could only accept the reality, and he complained, "Mentor, didn't you say that it was a mysterious world at that time, and there was little communication with Arthur?" Why do you know so much? β
"That's nature."
Antinoa's lips tapped slightly, and now the cloak covered her white forehead.
"Midsummer."
"Have you forgotten what our profession is?"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a thick blue arc of lightning drew in the sky, which had already been overwhelmed by black clouds, and the thunder was deafening.
As if to announce that the scale of the next storm will be beyond human imagination, many residents below the town, seeing this scene, put down their work and feel that they can go to a nearby place to take shelter from the rain.
However, at this moment, there are only a few people who can enter the building made of stone and cement, and those who can enter the tent made of canvas are already considered lucky.
But Zhao Xu's mind was no longer in the outside world at all, he just stared at Antinoya's delicate face because of the thunder.
"Aren't we mages? There are also mages who are not curious to explore other worldsβ"
Zhao Xu's voice stopped abruptly as he spoke, and he couldn't say the next words.
They are also a "dossier scholar".
Seek out cursed steles, scavenging for secrets and divine powers from strange and forbidden sources......
In any sense, it is as if the dossier is searching for the secrets of these outer gods, looking for traces of them.
Even the scholars of the dossier came from the terrifying world where evil gods existed.
In Zhao Xu's mind, it seemed that a downpour had fallen, and it was constantly shaking his mind, and it was difficult to stop the slightest speech.
To become a dossier scholar, you must have seen that "ancient stone tablet"!
Could it be that the profession itself comes from a certain outer god?
"Looks like you guessed it."
Antinoia smiled at this, "It was only many years after my teacher left Arthur that I suddenly woke up to this early morning and realized that that the outer god was the 'end' of our dossier scholars. β
"Who is he?" Zhao Xu asked in surprise.
He even has a consciousness that the next mentioned existence will definitely be deeply involved with him!
Even after he left the dream of that outer god, he already had a feeling in his subconscious that one day, he would return to that terrifying world again-
to uncover the untold secrets.
"That's the name, I told you at the beginning. I beg your pardon for not being able to mention it now. Because it's not appropriate, or rather, when you hear it again now, you might fall into some kind of crazy state. βββ
"Its real name, pronounced in Arthur, is beyond the boundaries of what we know."
"Which one?" Zhao Xu guessed at this time.
At that time, Zhao Xu was very impressed by the other two outer gods mentioned by Antinoya, so he immediately guessed it.
"Hmm."
"Then then, Midsummer, you need to go to Zheng Xinyun."
"Huh?"
Zhao Xu was a little surprised.
"Because, through Zheng Xinyun, you can find that Lux, who is also essentially an outer god who has lost his memory."
