Chapter 13: The Black Panther Transforms

Sequoia Town, as the name suggests, is a small town full of redwoods, located between the Supreme Forest and the Enoch Desert, and its unique location has created a strange scene of desert and forest on one side.

If it weren't for the Flame Pony, it would have taken him at least a natural week to walk in a straight line without sleeping, and now, he reached his destination in less than half an hour.

Looking at the flame horse that turned into sparks and dissipated with the wind, Sherlock was still a little distressed, there are really not many flying mounts that pull the wind like this, but unfortunately, they can only be used once.

When he arrived in Sequoia Town, the most important thing at present was to quickly find the career hall to officially join the company, and after roughly determining his position according to the introduction on the guide, he walked in one direction.

System Prompt: Your friend request has been approved.

As soon as the friend application was approved, the call request was sent, and Sherlock knew that the pit must be the employer without guessing.

"Sherlock, are you in Redwoodtown now?"

"When will we meet?"

"There is still one person who hasn't come, and when everyone informs you, the conditions should be told to you, so I won't say more."

"Understood."

"Okay, we need to gather and get in touch."

After confirming the information, the client cut off the communication, and although Sherlock was curious about the client's identity, it was better not to ask about this kind of thing.

Sequoia Town said that it was not big, but if you measured it on foot, it would not be small, but fortunately, Sherlock was not particularly in a hurry, and observed the scenery and buildings of the town by the way while hurrying.

Compared to the novice village, Sequoia Town obviously has a kind of urban atmosphere, the building layout is neat, the road is wide enough, and the town's characteristic - redwoods are planted on both sides, at a glance, like a red ribbon decorating the whole town, he will never see such a scene in reality, at least not in the Third Ring Road.

After walking for nearly an hour, Sherlock finally reached the career hall in the redwood forest in the southeast corner of town.

Different from the career hall in the novice village, the career hall of each profession in the town is built separately in different places, the thief's thief's guild is generally built in the downtown area, the mage's career hall is often connected to the library and is located in the noble district of the city, while the druid's career hall is built where there are many animals and plants, and the southeast corner of Sequoia Town is a large redwood forest.

Sherlock followed the druids in and out into the hollow-like career hall. After handing over the letter of recommendation to the only NPC for confirmation, he solemnly received the hard-won druid badge and officially joined the army as a glorious guardian of nature-druid.

Druid Badge (Beginner): Druids recover faster in natural environments.

System Prompt: The player officially joins the druid and earns 16 skill points

The effect of the Junior Druid Badge can only be said to be better than nothing, but the important thing is that Sherlock finally has skill points, which means that he can finally level up and continue to learn skills.

The skills of the Forgotten Realm must be upgraded with skill points after the experience is full, and there are no skill points before the official entry, and they can only be obtained when the level is raised after entry, Sherlock's intelligence is not high and cannot be bonus, and the basic skill points of the druid are relatively low, so in addition to the four times the skill points at the time of entry, he can only get 4 skill points per level, so he has to be extra cautious about adding points.

Ice, lizardskin soft armor, flax leggings, rainforest boots, adventurer's gauntlets, windproof felt hats, broken lapis lazuli necklaces, corpse insect rings

Gold: 629

After Sherlock upgraded the natural transformation and the magic claw to level 2 respectively, he withdrew his pitiful status bar, and sighed helplessly, this mess of equipment except for the ice spirit and the corpse insect ring are all level 5 and level 10 tabula rasa equipment.

"I don't know if the money left is enough to buy skill books and change equipment." Sherlock inquired about Sequoia Town's player gathering point and left the career hall.

The exchange rate between the gold coins in the Forgotten Realm and the credit points in reality is one to one, and the 629 gold on his body is his last savings, if he can't get the money to pay the detention fee before the middle of next month, he will have to roll up and leave, and be driven out of the third ring or even driven back to the fifth ring directly, although the fifth ring is his hometown, but he never wants to go back so down.

Walking out of the career hall, the sky outside has gradually darkened, except for a few races and classes with dark vision in the Forgotten Realms (such as Drow and Underground Dwarf Underground), the vision of other classes at night will be greatly limited, and the difficulty of farming monsters has skyrocketed.

Because of this, the night has become the most lively time in the town, buying and selling equipment and props, practicing combat skills and life skills, cultivating relationships with NPCs, gathering strategy dungeons, and everyone starts to be busy with their favorite things instead of hurrying to level up.

At night, Sherlock walked alone in the noisy player market, the number of players in Redwood Town is not comparable to that of Novice Town, which is not at all comparable to the first road, both sides are full of all kinds of stalls, elves, dwarves, orcs, mages, warrior monks, holy warriors, players of various races, professions and costumes are constantly stopping at various stalls for what they like, dozens or hundreds of gold disputes.

Compared with the price of other popular professions, the price of three or four thousand, the druid's skill books are generally much cheaper, except for a few more popular and scarce skills, the others are generally 3,400 a copy, but Sherlock didn't buy more, 16 skill points are really not much, he picked a long time according to his own career route and some evaluation strategies on the forum to choose two practical skills.

Divine Berry: It can parasitize a Divine Berry containing the power of nature on the target, which can slowly restore its health.

Provocation: Taunts a single target

The amount of recovery of the Divine Berry is not much, but one of the advantages of this skill is that it does not require cast time, which is quite practical in battle, and as for provocation, it is needless to say, it is a must-learn skill for Sherlock who is determined to go to the tank.

Of course, there is another reason, these two skills are cheap, and the two books are bought in a package for less than 300, and as for the expensive hemp, of course, there are also

Like the natural transformation - Black Panther, endure elemental damage, be invisible to animals, heal or something, Sherlock just take a look now, especially the natural transformation - Black Panther, the price tag is 7000, and his monthly rent, food and detention money will not be so much.

"Brother, your book of the natural transformation of the panther is too expensive to sell." Sherlock hesitated for a long time in the stall but still didn't give up, couldn't resist the temptation of turning into a black panther, and casually cut the price.
