Roland stepped out of his father's room and took a few deep breaths to adjust his mood. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When his mood returned to calm, he collected the three treasures given by his father one by one, and absorbed his luck by the way.

These three treasures have already been identified, and there is no mystery to speak of, so the attached luck is rarer than those magic items of the same level that have not yet been identified and are difficult to identify, but they also provide him with a full 25 degrees of luck, three-fifths of which comes from the legendary death talisman.

Roland opened the Upanishads given by his father and opened the Pupil of Destiny, and the system automatically summarized the contents of the book into more understandable data:

Special Specialty: Dark Judgment

Prerequisites: Slash abilities (Evil Breaker, Good Strike, etc.), Sneak Attack Abilities

Effect: When you successfully use the Sneak Attack and Slash abilities in a single attack on the same enemy, you have the potential to stun the enemy. If an enemy is affected by both abilities, it must do a Will Immunity check (dc=10+1/2 of your character level + your Charisma modifier), and if it fails, it will be stunned for 1 round.

Dazed: The character is unable to move normally. The stun usually lasts for 1 round (6 seconds).

Roland was amazed. Obviously, to cultivate this powerful martial art, you must have both sneak attack and slashing abilities, and among the common transcendent professions, only the Black Guard meets the preconditions, which is no wonder, after all, Dad is the Black Guard Mentor, and this "Dark Trial" is the summary of his more than ten years of practice.

In fact, sneak attacks don't necessarily need to sneak behind the enemy, take advantage of their surprise to backstab, that's the way thieves and assassins play, it's too difficult for a heavy knight like Roland with average agility, in fact, as long as it can cause a pincer attack, you can add a sneak attack effect to the attack, if you have teammates, it's easy to achieve, therefore, the practicality of the Dark Trial is still very good.

As for power, that's even less to say. Slashing, sneak attack, and stunning, this is a very powerful field control stunt, not to mention that the immunity difficulty (DC) of stun is not a fixed value, but is directly proportional to the charm attribute, which is precisely Roland's main attribute, which means that the "Dark Trial" will never go out of style for him.

Such a stunt is certainly worth the investment.

Without the slightest hesitation, Roland immediately consumed 4 degrees of luck and directly learned the "Dark Judgment".

Looking at the Upanishads in his hand turning to ashes in the white flames of divine energy, Roland let out a slow breath and walked towards Master Merlin's room.

Master Merlin is a silent and reserved person, often giving people the impression of indifference, but Roland knows that the old mage is actually a very emotional person, but he is not good at expressing it.

"You go to the north, in fact, I don't agree, the Lucia Mountains are too chaotic and dangerous, Lyudmila and that dwarf are not competent bodyguards, I don't worry, I originally wanted to send two apprentices as your entourage, but unfortunately your father didn't agree, I really don't understand what he was thinking." The old mage wiped his monocle with a handkerchief and complained indignantly.

Roland hurriedly excused his father: "Teacher Merlin, please don't blame my father, in fact, this is what I meant, our legion is in the growth period, there are many children with outstanding intelligence among the recruits recruited this time, someone must organize them to teach arcane knowledge, you also know, arcane spellcasters are the tactical core of the team, to put it mildly, there are not enough spellcasters, warriors can only bleed in vain on the front line, acting as pathetic cannon fodder, teacher, you don't have the energy to personally guide those beginners, Your students have to take on the profession of tutors, and now they are each taking care of ten or even twenty naughty little ones, and they are already busy, how can you make me bear to burden them again? Compared to accompanying me on a trip to the Northlands, young mages can be of greater value by staying in the barracks. ”

"But......" The old mage opened his mouth, and finally couldn't come up with a reason to refute it, so he had to sigh and mutter, "Now I really regret a little, I shouldn't have listened to your father's nonsense and let you choose the black guard profession, although your intelligence is not outstanding, but if you can learn the arcane from ...... young age"

He didn't say any more, first, there was no point in hindsight, and second, this was not just a matter of Roland's personal career planning, but also a serious political issue.

Roland wants to inherit Rudolph's business. Rudolph is the king of the Black Guard in the Far East, Rudolph's personal soldiers are all Black Guards, and the Black Guard profession has a strong symbolic meaning in the legion, how could his son give up becoming the leader of the Black Guard and choose the path of a mage? After all, mages can't wear armor and can't be compatible with the Blackguard.

Merlin walked over to the bookshelf, picked up an ivory scroll case, and turned to hand it to Roland.

"These are ten arcane scrolls, ranging from offensive fireballs and lightning beams to secondary spells like 'SMS', the latter of which may be more valuable as far as your trip is concerned, and you can send the news back to your base camp as soon as you notice something unusual in the northern mountains."

Roland took the scroll box and carefully put it away.

The old mage then advised: "The scroll is actually a very dangerous thing, if you fail to cast the spell, it is very likely to explode in your own hands, causing serious consequences, the more advanced the scroll, the more likely it is to have problems, you have to be careful." So saying, he picked up a hand-bound parchment book from his desk and handed it to Roland.

"This notebook is the culmination of my life's work, and it will take you two or three months to study it during your travels, and it will be safer to use magical items like scrolls."

Roland thanked the mage and flipped through the notes, and a wonderful system prompt immediately sounded in his head.

System Prompt: Discover the strange object "Master Merlin's Practice Notes"! Did you spend 4 degrees of luck and immediately grasp the knowledge recorded in your notes?

Roland checked the luck pool and had a 20-degree deposit, but he didn't choose to study immediately, and only said "yes" silently after saying goodbye to Master Merlin.

4 degrees of luck into the notes, with the help of the system's automatic reading function, the knowledge in the book is like a torrent of instant convergence into the mind. Master Merlin's earnest teachings were still in his ears, and the system prompt came again, causing the corners of Roland's lips to rise.

System Prompt: "Master Merlin's Practice Notes" has been read!

System Prompt: "Use Magic Device (UMD)" becomes your main skill, skill level +2!

System prompt: "Spell Recognition" becomes your main skill, skill level +2!

System prompt: "Document Interpretation" becomes your own skill, skill level +2!

System Prompt: "Mysterious Knowledge" becomes your own skill, skill level +2!

……

At the end of the last system prompt, the parchment ignited with a blue arcane flame, which destroyed itself in Roland's hand, leaving not a trace of ash behind.

Patting his sleeve, Roland went downstairs to visit Pastor Boris at church.

Priest Boris also prepared a scroll for him, full of divine arts, as well as a suitcase full of potions, which can heal, detoxify, exorcise diseases, and relieve all kinds of abnormal states.

Finally, he also made a point of telling Roland to make a trip to the local lumber yard when passing through the Perren Canyon and contact his student Dmitry. This man was familiar with the Lucian Mountains, not only as a qualified guide, but also as a powerful priest of Sindra. Boris had summoned Dmitry and asked him to accompany Roland to the north, and there would be a good answer on the way.
