Chapter 3: Cutting off the past
Zoro saw a roulette wheel appear on top of the book and began to spin rapidly.
The roulette wheel has a line of information listed on it, and just looking at the name, it seems that it belongs to the special ability of the demon.
They have strong acid clouds, immune shocks, immune toxins, dark vision, telepathy, and many other abilities.
This makes him look a little weird, a bit like a shopping mall carousel, and he won't give the most common "thank you for your patronage", right?
Fortunately, it's not so cheating.
The roulette wheel turned, and a strange and hideous insect phantom appeared, about a meter long.
It looked white and chubby, and it was still wriggling, which reminded him that maggots could be seen in the toilet.
The difference is that there is a wailing human face on its head, which is extremely weird!
Under the gaze of the other party's blood-red eyes, a force floated out of his body and merged into his body.
Airplanes!
Zoro felt a stream of heat surging all over his body, a powerful energy that made his blood boil.
"Extraction ability, dark vision!"
A very special ability, which does not provide him with the slightest combat power at all.
However, the strange heat flow was still surging in his body, and he instantly felt a tearing pain in his body.
Whoa!
The dark red book flipped to the personal stats page, where the strength stat was increased from 9 to 10.
With only 1 point of improvement, Zoro only felt that the muscles in his body suddenly expanded, as if his strength had skyrocketed by more than half in an instant!
"A 1-point increase is only one-tenth of the original value, and it stands to reason that it will not be so obvious. But this is obviously not according to this calculation, it is clearly an increase of 1.5 times according to the addition of 1 point! ”
Zoro was shocked in his heart, and instantly realized the exaggeration of the attribute improvement.
This boosting mode reminded him of the group game he used to play, which was a rather niche board game Dungeons & Dragons.
It's a pity that the cumbersome and complicated rules make a few die-hard friends tired and unloving when they see thousands of pages of rule books.
Missionary failure!
Increasing Strength by 1 means that it is equivalent to multiplying it by 1.5 times on the original basis.
In other words, you can lift 100 pounds, but now you can lift 150 pounds!
The next time you +1 point to 11 points, you can continue to multiply by 1.5 times, which is equivalent to lifting 225 pounds!
One pound = 0.45 kg ≈ 1 catty.
This exponential increase continues, and when it reaches 20 transcendent attributes, the strength has been exaggerated to the point that you can throw the car at will.
It's comparable to the protagonist of the sci-fi movie covered in green!
He looked down at his arm slightly, and found that there was already a little more muscle bulge on his originally thin arm.
"Strength +1 has been so much improved, if you go all the way to extraordinary strength, then you can blow it up with one punch when you encounter a vampire!"
Zoro suddenly looked forward to it more and more, "What conditions do you need to improve your attributes?" ”
"Could it be that devouring the soul origin can be improved? It doesn't feel like it's going to be so easy, so you can try it when you have the chance......"
Uncle Jager had already died on the spot, causing the middle-aged woman to collapse to the ground in an instant.
Buel's brow furrowed into a pimple, and his face became extremely gloomy.
After examining the other party's body again, he left the room without saying a word.
Obviously, this was all out of his control.
When they walked out of Uncle Jager's house, they saw a young girl approaching them on the street, and politely offered to say hello: "Good afternoon, Mr. Bouel." ”
"It's Erin......" Buel glanced up at the other and continued to frown and ponder.
Zoro also looked at the girl, the other party was in the prime of sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was also the most beautiful girl in the town-
Although there are only a dozen teenage girls in the whole town.
Unfortunately, her face looked very pale and had a few freckles.
The long brown hair also looks a little yellowish, and the dandruff can be seen very clearly.
There is no such thing as sparkling, and it is filled with the unique fragrance of a girl.
Sure enough, it's a short experience......
Zoro cares so much about the girl precisely because this is the object of the crush of the original owner of the body.
"Beautiful girls also go to the toilet, and the body fragrance is purely cosmetic pickled and flavorful - by the way, didn't it mean that the good traverser is surrounded by peerless beautiful girls?"
He resisted the desire to complain, and he could clearly sense the throbbing of his heart in his memory.
A hazy feeling of the beginning of love.
"Zoro, the archaeologist from Neverwinter the other day, told us a lot of interesting stories."
Erin looked at him, a very reluctant smile appeared on her slightly pale face, "That man is tall and thin, a little like Mr. Buel, and his skin is a little dark, but he is really knowledgeable. ”
"He seems to be very interested in the mysterious legends of our place, and wants to go deep into the mountains to find the lost temple......"
The girl was visibly excited, and a faint flush appeared on her little face as she spoke, and a pair of light blue eyes were almost shining.
If it was in the past, the boy who had a crush on her would have long since lost his soul, and his head was dizzy and he agreed to everything.
But now, the appearance is still the same appearance, and the inside has long since changed a person.
"I'll check it out when I have time." Sauron replied with a slight perfunctory, still thinking about sources such as attribute points.
His special performance made the other party look at him a little strangely: "Zoro, don't you like these mysterious legends the most?" ”
Until then, the boy had been fascinated by all kinds of mysterious legends, and he was eager to find some legendary magical creatures.
But there are no mythical monsters in this world at all, everything comes down to rumors.
"I've been busy studying with teachers these days, so I don't have much time to play."
Realizing that he was acting too differently than before, Zoro glanced at the cheap teacher with a slightly helpless look.
"Okay."
The girl nodded understandingly, "Professor Vashak is going to hold a small archaeological seminar at the Lion King's Pride Tavern in the evening, so you can go there if you have time." ”
Bouel is also a knowledgeable figure, and it is already quite an extraordinary opportunity to learn from this man, and it is natural to cherish it.
It can be said that except for the newly arrived archaeologists, there is no second person so knowledgeable in the whole town.
"Let's go back......"
Buel stepped outside, whispering suspiciously as he walked, "Erin seems to look a little weak, is it also anemia?" ”
Rumble!
Zoro was suddenly shocked in his heart, and instantly thought of vampires, and his heart suddenly appeared anxiously worried, and he couldn't help but want to turn around and help the girl.
The thought was so strong that he took every step he took.
"That's what you're trying to do?"
Seeing him stop, Buel reached out and patted him on the shoulder and reluctantly encouraged: "Zoro, go if you want, don't work too hard, it's not impossible to relax a little." ”
In the past two days, there have been many more patients in the town.
He was so busy with these things every day that he didn't have time to teach this child, and he felt a little sorry in his heart.
In addition, today's sudden death of Jager made him even less in the mood to teach.
"Well, thank you, teacher, I'm going to go over and have a look at it in the evening." Zoro bowed his head and thanked him.
Since I still have a little thought left, then I will cut off this connection with you!
……
The Lion's Pride Tavern.
This is the only tavern in the town and serves ales, dark beers, and slightly more expensive wines.
Many townspeople come here to celebrate with a drink when they return from hunting.
Imagine what you would most like to do when you return home hungry after taking out the fierce beast with great difficulty.
That's right, drinking and eating meat, taking a hot bath, and getting a good night's sleep is a heavenly treat.
A large glass of ale costs only 4 copper coins, and a pound of roasted fragrant wild boar meat costs only 2 silver coins.
When hunting, killing a sturdy boar can get at least 5 gold coins or more.
If you get the skins of many beasts that are rarer, the harvest will be more abundant, and it will be enough to cope with this kind of eating and drinking.
Of course, this is a good harvest before they are willing to spend, and most of them just eat pickles and bread and drink ale.
As soon as Zoro walked to the tavern, he heard the young clerk greet him with a smile: "Hey, Zoro come in, it's cold outside, go find a place by the fireplace and sit casually." Professor Vashak will be here in a moment, and tonight will be very lively! ”
Needless to say, Sauron had already heard the commotion coming from the tavern, which was already crowded with people.
As he walked into the tavern, someone stood at the door of the tavern and shouted, "Professor Vashak has arrived, Professor Vashak has arrived!" ”
A group of people probed their brains to look around, and they had been expecting this archaeologist from Neverwinter.
Da-da-da-da!
The sound of the other party's leather boots stepping on the stone road was very crisp, and he walked from a distance.
It can be seen that it is a middle-aged man who looks very similar to Buel, thin and tall, dressed in a decent scholar's robe, and walking from a distance without hurrying with a cane.
Similar to what Erin said, her skin tone is dark, and it seems that she has been exposed to the sun outside all year round.
Beside him was a tall woman with long reddish-brown hair and extremely fair and attractive skin.
Underneath the black leather skirt is a somewhat transparent black pantyhose that extends to the absolute realm inside the leather skirt.
It looks very similar to modern stockings, making its long legs even more attractive.
In terms of appearance alone, this woman has crushed everyone present, and her charm is extraordinary.
This is also the reason why many men in the town come to participate in the so-called archaeological research meeting.
But after seeing this woman, Zoro only felt that the fog that shrouded his mind seemed to be wiped away, and memories suddenly appeared.
A memory sealed by some mysterious power!
