Chapter 9: The Keeper of Secrets
Sugar!
Sugar!
Sugar!
Jason's words echoed in his mind like a summer thunderbolt.
Then, again, such words become words that ordinary people cannot understand.
It's babbling.
It's a fool's errand.
It's even more crazy.
If before Jason just felt that his brain was boiling.
Well, at this time, his brain is really boiling!
High temperature!
The unparalleled heat came to his mind.
His eyes blurred.
Visions appeared.
Is that......
Magnificent, vast, indescribable reflections.
Unable to look directly.
Those who look directly will be punished.
Jason is no exception.
Feeling that his brain was boiling, he received a real fatal blow.
【Deadly Attack......
【Consume satiety for healing......】
[Consumes 3 points of satiety!] 】
【Complete thorough treatment!】 】
……
A gentle warmth spreads from the stomach to the whole body.
The heat is gone, and so is the illusion in front of you.
Everything seems to be back to normal.
But......
Jason could clearly perceive the little more knowledge in his mind, most of which was fragmented and unconnected, but some of it was connected.
But it's still a feeling that can't be explained.
All that's there is is a text beating in front of me—
['Secret Keeper' Occupation Information Collection......]
【Collected successfully!】 】
[1, perceive 2 or more (complete)!] 】
[2, Accept foreign objects (completed)!] 】
[3, Witnessing (or knowing) the indescribable (complete)!] 】
[Determination to complete the pre-...... for the inauguration of the 'Secret Keeper']
【Successful job hunting! 】
[The secret keeper has successfully taken office! 】
[Perception +1]
[Gain Unique Specialty: Keeping the Secret]
[Keep the secret: You keep the secret and swear never to tell it!] This makes your heart full of torment, but it can also be exchanged for special power! Effect: Bless one of your skills and give it a considerable boost. 】
(Note: This particular force is a neutral force, and it's up to you to decide which one it tends towards!) )
……
Perception instantly strengthened1, which suddenly made Jason's perception more than three times that of ordinary people.
At this moment, he could even hear a small sound from 20 meters away.
The specialty [Keeping Secrets] has allowed him to have the capital to become stronger rapidly.
However, Jason was not happy at all.
Because, it's all too weird.
Whether it was 'being sugared', or witnessing the indescribable reflection, or being inaugurated as a 'secret keeper', everything was done without him knowing.
Jason forced himself to calm down.
He needs a calm brain to remember what happened.
And in the next moment, Jason thought: sugar!
Without a doubt, 'sugar' is the key!
"I learned about 'sugar' from Denise."
"So, I'm being targeted?"
"I was forced to give out 'sugar'."
"Then, I died."
Thinking of this, Jason took a deep breath.
He knew very well that if it weren't for the 'satiety' treatment, he would have been a corpse by now.
In other words, the vast majority of people will die in the face of this scene.
And the one who escaped death?
Will you get a little bit ...... 'compensation' from it?
Look at the 'Secret Keeper' profession again.
For the first time, Jason encountered a profession that did not require the cost of satiety, and went straight to work.
In particular, the introduction of the specialty [Keeping Secrets] always made Jason feel uneasy.
"Can't tell that secret?"
"Once ...... is spoken"
"Will it lead to another 'sugar'?"
Combined with the before and after of the matter, Jason's face who came to a conclusion couldn't help but change.
Then, Jason was suddenly stunned.
He was 'given sugar', but he didn't eat 'sugar'!
Not only did I not eat it, but I also 'died' once.
But, Denise ate it!
Although Denise is also 'dead', she did eat 'sugar'.
What is this?
Preference?
Is Erha loved?
Jason thought silently.
At this moment, he finally knew the reason why Denise had become 'extraordinary'.
But in the back of his heart, Jason wanted to know more about the taste of that 'sugar', like it wasn't as sweet as Denis said.
He died all once.
What's wrong with eating a candy?
Pity...... Didn't taste what it was like.
Call!
With a sullen breath, Jason set his eyes on the specialty [Keeping Secrets].
Now that it's happened, Jason doesn't feel sorry for himself anymore.
He will only use everything in front of him to change the situation.
As for which skill is [Keeping the Secret] blessed on?
Is there anything better than [Protect Against Evil]?
As his only skill that can effectively deal with the mysterious side of the evil and weird, the increase of [Protection against Evil] is similar to the upper limit for Jason to some extent.
[Yes/Do you use secret blessings to protect against evil?] 】
"Yes!"
As soon as Jason's words fell, there was an immediate change in the protection against evil.
[Defend against Evil (Skilled): Not only have you mastered this spell seal secret technique, but you have also enhanced it with special powers! It's enough to keep you safe from malicious infestation most of the time, but you'll still need a lot of stamina to activate this spell seal! And in the lineage of the Night's Watch you have, a Night's Watch has changed it a little, so you have mastered the same technique; Effects: 1, a special force field attached to the surface of the body, which can not only defend against the attacks of negative energy creatures (below the explosive level), but also be able to repel them and the power attached to them (below the explosive level); 2. You can use the power to expel evil and aim at creatures or objects within a radius of 5 meters with you as the center of the circle to carry out a long-range attack. 】
(Note: omitted)
……
An all-round boost.
The power to resist and expel finally approached the [Explosive Level], and the distance range also increased by 2 meters.
However, in order for [Evil Protection] to reach the level of mastery, it originally required 15 points of satiety and 2 food excitement, but the tide has risen to 20 points of satiety and 3 food excitement.
For this, Jason was expected.
Skill enhancement, and the increase in the cost of improvement is common sense.
Feeling the rapid completion of the alignment between skill and body, Jason's eyes looked at the books given by the old sir on the small table.
This time, he thought no one would bother him.
That seems to be the case.
With the death of him once, it was as if everything had calmed down.
'Helken, yes' The masterpiece of the Dur's school of wizards, they initially only hoped to create some invisible servants, but in the end they created Hull, a monster that is both invisible and can drive the wind, in the early years of Helken's claws are extremely sharp, but when they become adults, they will become dull, with it, their size increases, and the ability to control the wind, when facing an adult Helken, it often takes a team of 20-30 people to be fully armed, it is possible to hunt, fortunately the Dur Wizards school obeys' The principle of escapism restricts these monsters. ’
'Kilken, the cursed creatures cultivated by the 'Dead Leaves' school of swamp witches, they are called elves simply because they are made of the essence of the 'Blades of Grass Elves', when facing the 'Dead Leaves' school, remember not to let the other party master your name, blood and birthdate, they are more evil than you think, however, in the year of Hr1610, the Kilken elves were discovered by the potions master Herke, and have the effect of establishing a similar 'enchantment', but this is not something that everyone can master, and it has been adopted as a secret art by some schools and forces. ’
……
Jason read voraciously about monsters.
Then, at sunrise, he turned to the section on occult arts.
Then......
Jason's eyes lit up.
He unexpectedly found a surprise.
