Chapter 103 Four years

Early the next morning, Vane got up and put on his equipment, intending to go to practice his melee skills first.

At this moment, Barka came out of the room. After seeing Vane, he immediately walked a few steps to Vane's side and said, "Vane, do you think I'm bad?" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Vane suddenly heard Barka's words and felt a little inexplicable.

"You see, you've always been smart and have a lot of hand-to-hand combat abilities. Walker also began to learn to combine the Light with melee combat. Even Kalia has unknowingly reached the point where she is able to communicate with the Light at all times. It's just me, I don't have enough strength to use a stronger bow, stealth reconnaissance is not what I'm good at, and even if I use arcane energy, I don't have much attack power. The arcane spells of the meeting are just some tricks. I feel like I'm so much worse than you. Barka began to talk to Vane about his troubles.

"That's what bothered you at dinner yesterday?" After hearing Barka's distress, Vane immediately understood why Barka suddenly became like that when he was dining yesterday, he opened his mouth to persuade: "If it is, you don't have to worry about it at all. ”

"Why?" Barka was puzzled, in his opinion, the gap between himself and Vane was so big, even Kalia was a big distance from him, but Vane said that there was no need to worry.

"You are a High Elf Ranger, the strength of the High Elf Ranger depends on physical fitness and arcane ability to perform, before adulthood, it is difficult for High Elves to have enough physical fitness, no matter how strong the arcane ability is, it is difficult to do anything big. And the High Elves are not dwarves and gnomes, dwarves and gnomes usually use muskets, but the hit rate of these muskets is really touching. Perhaps, you could try making a crossbow to use? Although the crossbow has a slow attack speed, it still has a good hit rate compared to the musket. Vane explained to Barka.

"Isn't there any other way?" Although Barka had understood Vane's words, he was still reluctant, because the crossbow was an evil way for the High Elf Ranger, and no one liked to use such a thing, so Barka asked again.

"Isn't there already another way?" Vane vs. Barka Dao.

"What? Already there? How did I not know? When Barka heard this, he quickly asked three questions in a row.

"It's just domesticating Teddy. Teddy has a strong hand-to-hand combat ability as the owner of a bear, and after you sign a contract with Teddy, Teddy is part of your combat power, isn't it? When you have the Ranger ability again, your ability will be greatly improved. Vane said to Barka.

"That's also in the future, can't it be now?" Barka was still a little unwilling.

"Now, you have no other way but to use a crossbow." Vane looked at Barka with an unwilling expression, shrugged his shoulders and said to him, "You don't have to pay attention to any evil questions, as long as you practice your bow and arrow well, it should be okay to use a crossbow before you become an adult." ”

"That being said, but once the other High Elves know......" Barka was already a little tempted, but still a little hesitant, "You know, many rangers who don't have a talent for bows and arrows would rather be thieves scouts than use crossbow arrows." ”

"There's no way I can change other people's opinions." Vane spread his hands and said.

"Forget it, I'd better think about it myself. If you really can't do it, you can use crossbow arrows first. Barka hesitated to Vane.

"Okay, you think about it first, I'll get in touch." Seeing that Barka was no longer what he was yesterday, Wayne was the first to leave the room and head to the training ground he and Walker frequented to practice.

Four years have passed in a flash, and in these four years, Barka did not choose to use crossbow arrows in the end, but only practiced harder in this aspect of bow and arrow.

That evening, Barka ran back to Vane's lodgings with an excited face. During the meal, Balkaan couldn't hold back his excitement and said to Vane and Kaliya and Walker, "You know what? I'm going to sign a contract with Teddy tomorrow. ”

"Really? Isn't it a matter of time? Why are you so excited? Kalia didn't understand why Barka was so excited, it had already been decided when she came here.

"You know what, Teddy and I signed not an ordinary contract, but a very old one." Barka turned to Kalia.

"Oh? What is an ancient contract? What is the effect of the contract? Vane asked with a frown when he heard Barka's words.

Contracts are not made casually. Some contracts are not only not beneficial, but harmful. It's like a contract given by the devil of DND.

"The effect of the contract?" Hearing Vane's words, Barka turned to Vane and said, "The effect is that each other has twenty-five percent of the physical fitness of both parties to the contract. ”

"Oh? It's powerful in terms of effect, but what are the flaws? I don't believe that there are no flaws in the benefits alone, otherwise the rangers would not have used such a good contract, but would have used the ordinary one. Vane then asked.

"Hey, Kid Vane. Do you suspect that our dwarves are cheating on the Barka Kids? Walker heard Vane's question, and asked directly and unhappily.

"Of course not, just to understand why this contract was abandoned by the Mountain Rangers." Vane turned to Walker and explained.

When Walker heard Wayne's explanation, he was relieved and stopped talking.

"Of course there are shortcomings, and they are serious." Barka said with a serious expression.

Accustomed to Barka's perennial giggling, and now suddenly looking at his serious expression, Kalia unconsciously sat up straight at this time, and leaned slightly towards Vane by the way.

"The downside is that you can only make a contract with Teddy as an animal in your life." Barka said solemnly.

"Huh? That's it? Kalia was stunned, originally thinking that it was a serious problem, but she didn't expect it to be like this, so she asked curiously, "Then why would the mountain ranger give up this kind of contract?" ”

"It's very simple, because ordinary animals have a short lifespan, and once the animal companion dies, the mountain ranger will be deprived of most of his strength. Although you can still get a 25% physical fitness bonus for your animal companions, the dwarves' physical fitness is already very strong, and even if they are strengthened, they won't have too much, so this contract is abandoned. Barka said with his hands outstretched to Kalia and Vane and Walker.

"I see." Vane suddenly said, "If that's the case, then it's nothing. ”

"Yes, we High Elf Ranger don't have the habit of contract animal companions. Even if Teddy dies later, it's unlikely that I'll be able to domesticate a new animal companion. So this contract is just right for me, isn't it? Barka said with a grin on his face.
