Chapter 2 Character Templates
Before his eyesight could fully recover, the fresh and moist air had already made Chu Ge's blood boil.
Ignoring the prompt sounds from the several Noah's descendants in his ears, he chose to ignore the scrolling blue font on the retina.
The pillow that exuded a faint musty smell made Chu Ge a little uncomfortable, and he immediately got up from the bed and looked around.
Obviously, this is a poor family, and the room is furnished with only the most basic supplies.
Whether it's a wardrobe, a wooden table or a chair, they've been in use for at least 30 years.
Although there is a lot of antiquity and dilapidated atmosphere everywhere, the house is very clean and tidy because of the hard work of the original owner.
This is his second home, the background world of the origin of Morning Light, the unique continent of Orlanca.
When he turned over and sat up, a large amount of information frantically poured into his mind, and it only took five seconds for Chu Ge to determine his previous conjecture by combing through the information.
His character template has not changed, it is the same as in his previous life.
Eno Friedrich, this is his name in this world.
The son of a merchant, his parents died when he was robbed at the age of four, and an elderly priest adopted him and raised him as an ordinary man.
With a good friend, a girl with a crush, and a warm-hearted townsman, all kinds of cumbersome information poured into his memory.
In his previous life, it took him a long time to sort out this information.
And now?
There was no more time to delay, he had to find the treasure he had relied on in his previous life first, even if he wasn't ready to use that last ability, but he still had to find it.
At least not for someone else to take it.
He took a deep breath, moved his somewhat stiff body, carried Ino's usual box, and pushed open the door with an empty backpack on his back.
"Huh? Ino are you awake, are you going out? A kind and kind voice rang out.
The white-haired old man in front of him was the priest who had adopted Eno, and he was sitting in an old rocking chair, warming himself by the fireplace, throwing a few pieces of wood into the raging fire from time to time, and an old ancient book on his lap.
A contented little old man.
Amid the creaking sound of the rocking chair, Chu Ge said to the old priest:
"Teacher, I have an important matter that I must go out."
Although Eno was nominally Denilos' apprentice, the old priest doted on him as if he were his own grandson.
Except for one thing.
Denilos showed some confusion on his face, but he still smiled and nodded, and said kindly:
"Is there something that has to be done? It's been a long time since I've heard you say anything like this. ”
"Come here."
Chu Ge probably realized what the old priest was going to do, after all, this was the experience he had experienced when he first came into contact with the mysterious power in his previous life.
"The God of Light blesses you."
The old priest's hands were glowing with a white light that was not dazzling, but the skin that looked a little shriveled from dehydration made people feel warm.
【Shingon Technique】!
After the spell was cast, a trace of abnormal red light appeared on Diniros's face, but it quickly dissipated, and he said to Chu Ge:
"Go early and come back early."
Chu Ge didn't mean to leave immediately, he continued:
"Teacher, there is one more thing I hope you can agree to."
Denilos was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to say something, Chu Ge had already said:
"Can you lend it to me temporarily?"
His finger was pointing at the lantern on the wooden table.
A lantern that has never been lit during the day or at night, although it looks ordinary, it exudes a simple and heavy atmosphere.
Denilos stared at Chu Ge's eyes, and after looking at the firmness in the other party's pupils, he hesitated for a moment, and finally touched Chu Ge's head, and said with a wry smile helplessly:
"All right, kid, but you have to promise me not to do anything dangerous."
"Thank you."
Chu Ge's voice was a little low, as if he remembered some sad memories from his previous life.
Denilos stood up from his chair and gently stroked the lamp, and several lilac veins immediately appeared on it, and the white flame inside finally lit up.
"Just this once, not the next one."
Denelos' face was a little serious, and he warned Chu Ge in a very rare tone.
Chu Ge nodded silently, picked up the lantern and pushed the door and walked out.
"It won't take too long."
After coming out, there was a wide open space in front of him, and the residence of Eno and Denillos was in a temple dedicated to the god of light, and Denilos, the oldest in the temple, had no intention of training Eno as a priest.
Chu Ge took a deep breath of this nostalgic air, the beginning of everything, the end of everything-
The small town of Brewell.
Chu Ge called out in his heart, and a pattern constructed with blue lines appeared in front of him:
Collaborator: No. 0701
Name: Eno Friedrich
Order: First order
Age: 18
Lineage: Human (pure)
Health: 14 (Constitution×10)

[Mastery Lv Max Bonus: Divine Effect doubled.] 】
[Legendary Priest Spell Casting Bonus: Duration extended to 2 natural days.] 】
In fact, Chu Ge has been wondering one thing in his previous life, Denilos is obviously not an ascetic, but why should he live so simply, as a legendary priest, he can obviously live a better life.
That's right, the little old man in the house who was enjoying the warmth of the fire was a legendary priest!
However, in Ino's memory, Denilos only taught him basic arithmetic and the history of the continent, as well as some pharmacological knowledge. And there is no mention of magic and magic knowledge, even the most basic martial arts, and he is only raised as an ordinary civilian.
After several unsuccessful pleas, although Ino inevitably had some guilt in his heart, he was very kind-hearted and never complained, and the old priest's medical skills were very good, more than half of the residents of the town had come to him for treatment, and Ino's main job was to help the old priest.
It is worth mentioning that the old priest's excuse for rejecting Eno was:
There is no talent.
***
Although there was no help from the old priest, the young Ino did not give up his intention to become a strong man, he once went to the tavern in the town to peek at other professionals wielding swordsmanship, secretly wrote it down and went back to practice, but-
The excuse of "no talent" was like a curse on Ino, and no matter how much he practiced, the results always disappointed him.
Fortunately, the boy was naturally optimistic, and did not get depressed, but took the practice of swordsmanship as a hobby, and persistently brandished the wooden sword every day, and in the long run, although he was not as good as those noble children and rare geniuses, he had far surpassed his peers in the town.
In fact, when Chu Ge first learned about this matter in his previous life, he had complained about the old priest's stinginess, but now that he has experienced the baptism of tempering, he more or less understands Denilos's painstaking efforts.
Nothing was more important than peace and well-being, and Denelos just didn't want Eno to get involved in the strife, nothing more.
Chu Ge flipped the attribute template to the next page and opened the column of related abilities.
Active Ability: None.
Passive Abilities:
[Basic Swordsmanship Lv3 (0/15): You never know when your last sword will be swung, so don't slack off and try to swing the next sword; Strength +0.2, Constitution +0.2, Agility +0.3, Damage increased by 3%, Block and Hit Rate increased by 3% when attacking with sword weapons (including but not limited to epee, short sword, dagger). 】

[Pharmacology Mastery Lv3 (3/15): Years of medical practice have made you fully aware of various drugs, and the success rate of dispensing drugs will be increased by an additional 6%. 】
There was a dagger in the inventory that was rated as white, the only relic that Ino's father had left him, and it was being hidden behind Chu Ge's waist at this time.
As for the box that slung over his shoulder, it contained some cheap medicine and Deniros' homemade first aid kits.
And the lantern in his hand? Because of the lack of hierarchical permissions, and the fact that Noah's descendants did not recognize his ownership of this item, it was impossible to detect all of its attributes at all.
However, he was more aware of the general purpose of the lantern, otherwise he would not have made such a request with the old priest, this prop was of great help to his next actions, and if Diniros rejected it at that time, his plan would be more dangerous and troublesome to realize.
Because of its remote location, Brewell was relatively economically backward, and it was difficult to see buildings with more than three floors, except for the temple and the baron's mansion, and most of them were low-rise farmhouses.
Probably because of the strong wind this morning, there were many fewer pedestrians on the road than usual, but this also made Chu Ge not meet any acquaintances along the way.
The River of Jahn is home to half of the people of Arcaya and spans a quarter of the continent, and Brewell is an ordinary town built on the banks of this large river.
The town itself is not large, and there are many people who go to Deniros to see a doctor, so many people in the town know Ino, and Uncle Galio in the blacksmith shop is no exception.
"Yo, it's Ino, what's the matter with coming here today?"
The bearded man put down the hammer in his hand, twisted his thick arms and asked Chu Ge.
Chu Ge touched his head and said with a smile:
"Well, there are some things to ask uncle."
"I need to buy a shovel, the quality doesn't need to be particularly good, just a regular one."
Without much to say, after expressing his intentions, he went to the warehouse under the leadership of Galio, picked out a shovel that had already been made and left.
Of course, the cheapest kind.
In fact, Chu Ge is very reluctant to come here to buy shovels, although the price here is more fair, but the town is so big, if someone wants to investigate, it is still easy to find that among the people who buy shovels, there is the "outlier" of Eno.
As a young person who does not work physically, why would you need to buy a tool like a shovel?
And then let the other party investigate what he did? It's really stupid.
Although Galio is a very righteous guy, in the face of greater fear and temptation, everything is in vain. In the eyes of a blacksmith, revealing customer information is not a serious matter, so Chu Ge didn't believe that the other party would keep it a secret for him at all.
It's a pity that the funds that Ino left for himself are so small, and if he doesn't make careful calculations, he can't meet his needs at all.
After sighing, Chu Ge bought long ropes, linen cloaks, and some golden thorn grass at the grocery store in the center of the town in turn.
In fact, he also wanted to buy a pair of leather gloves, but he couldn't do it because he was too shy to do so.
After shopping for everything, when he was preparing for the grocery store, he suddenly saw a notice posted on the wall of the grocery store:
【Employment Invitation】
[Number of employees: 4]
[Strength requirements: mid-to-late stage of the first order]
[Mission Type: Ruins Exploration]
[Mission Details: Unknown]
"Hint: The host has obtained a side quest (Invitation to Hire), the difficulty of the quest level is unknown, do you accept it?"
Chu Ge couldn't help but show a hint of an inexplicable smile, not knowing whether he was laughing at this notice or laughing at himself.
In his previous life, he received the task after seeing this commission.
Of course, he didn't know at that time that the potential meaning of this task was to recruit cannon fodder.
After seeing the words "ruins exploration", he impulsively took over the task directly, and now that I think about it, it is worth remembering.
"Refuse to accept it!"
Of course he had to refuse, and if he accepted the task, he would be asked to protect the mercenary in the ruins and make sure the mercenary came back alive, although it was not particularly difficult, but it undoubtedly conflicted with his current goals.
Although he rejected the mission issued by Noah, Chu Ge will next go to the tavern to take over this commission as cannon fodder, and then join the other party's team.
In his plan, not only to get the secret treasure, but also to kill the hypocrite who was released for hire!
One thing is different, in his previous life, he spent some time getting acquainted with the world, and it was already evening when he saw this commission.
According to the original trajectory, at noon today, Henry will launch the first exploration of the secret ruin, and he will return alive!
Undeterred, he continued to recruit manpower and launched another expedition the next day.
What Chu Ge participated in in his previous life was the second exploration in which only he survived.
