Chapter 4: A New Beginning
Back in Brad's safe zone, it was almost evening, and although Brad couldn't see, he had a strong sense of perception and immediately knew what was probably going on. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It was only here that Roger's tense nerves relaxed.
Brad's accommodation was safe, on high ground under a rock face, full of traps and with only a few entrances and exits.
The monster tribes of the forest avoid the safe zone, and if the slavers chase them here, they will not return.
The hideous side of this world is undoubtedly revealed today, and Roger's perception of the new world has also deepened, and he has only been slaughtered if he has not enough strength.
At noon the next day, Brad called Roger over.
"As a child, I have been living in the forest, like a wild man."
When Roger arrived, Brad sat on a bamboo chair, and when he saw him arriving, he said to himself, "When I was ten years old, an elven army passed through the forest where I lived, and I remember that Tularion and the Grand Duchy of Harburg were at war over a small dispute, and the entire Holy Griffin Empire was almost dragged into war. ”
"An elven captain took me in, and then he taught me the skills of the field and combat, and for me a lot of abilities, I would have known a little bit myself, because I grew up in that kind of place, so I learned very quickly."
"My mentor said that I was like an elf, not a human. In fact, I didn't get used to either side. I lived in Tularion for a long time until my mentor died, and then I came to the Human Kingdom and married Serina, who was also a ranger. I'm glad she put up with my temper. ”
Brad stopped, Roger didn't speak, he heard Brad talk about his past for the first time. He already knew that the atmosphere was not right today, and the old man seemed to be making a big decision.
"Elves also call ordinary rangers patrol officers, high-ranking rangers forest rangers, they are the guardians of the forest, these ideas are incompatible with humans." Brad continued slowly, "If you follow the path of the ranger, then you also have to endure the wilderness, only here, can the strength be improved, can you understand the true meaning of the ranger." ”
Brad suddenly laughed twice, "I see that your temperament is changing, a bit like one of my old opponents. ”
Roger was not surprised, with Brad's eyes and knowledge of him, it was easy to spot when training in the field. When he got the refined rappier, he came to his senses.
After all, Brad is the kind of person who can pick up a longbow and shoot even when blind, and he definitely has his own natural talent in terms of perception.
"I don't think I have much to teach you, some abilities are beyond my domain." Brad pulled out a letter, "This is for my old friend, well, an old rival, he's in Barrington, you might be able to go and check him out." ”
"Thanks, Daddy Brad."
Roger sincerely thanked him for coming into this world, and the Brads had the grace to recreate him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are adoptive parents.
"What if...... I mean, in case there's something going on here, I'll let the little owl know you. Finally, Brad said meaningfully.
"I'll be right back." Roger replied.
Brad nodded silently.
…………
Barrington is the capital of the Grand Duchy of Tyre, the largest city in the Upper Stream River, with a total of nine districts.
The Fifth Arrondissement is known as the Rich District, and the Silver Crown Tavern is located on Pippen Street in this district, and the tavern owner Damon is the old rival introduced by Brad.
It was midnight when Roger arrived at the tavern.
Usually the business of the tavern starts in the afternoon and fills up in the evening, so there are only a few customers inside, and the waiters of the tavern sit lazily at the table and chat.
Standing in the middle of the counter was a strong, middle-aged man who looked to be under fifty, with a goatee, a delicate shirt, and a wide-brimmed hat.
The middle-aged man was holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and his expression was somewhat exaggerated to enjoy the delicious red wine, and he did not look like an assassin walking in the shadows at all, but an authentic and rich boss.
That's him, Roger walked straight to the counter.
"I think Your Excellency should be Mr. Damon." Roger said softly.
Ahh
The middle-aged man almost spit out the wine he drank, and his eyes rolled a little, "Are you asking me?" I hope you're looking for the wrong person, I'm Jerry, the owner of the Silver Crown Tavern? Silver Crown, it's a pleasure to serve you...... Okay, first of all, who are you? ”
"Daddy Brad asked me to come to you, Mr. Jerry."
Apparently Dimon had another identity here, and Roger handed Brad's letter of introduction to the tavernkeeper.
"The surface always needs to be taken care of, it's basic courtesy."
Dimon took the letter of introduction and whispered, it was a bit like an explanation, he seemed to see Roger's thoughts, "Damon did something, but Jerry didn't, Jerry is a decent businessman." ”
Damon shrugged his shoulders and reached out to the few guests sitting in the tavern, who, judging by their clothing, were wealthy men, signaling that he was right. There aren't many people who know Damon's real name, and since it's his old rival Brad, he plans to take it seriously.
"Hey, I'll teach you some fighting skills, what other fighting skills will I have, when did that old fellow Brad recognize me."
Dimon shook his head, "A good boy, why bother. Do you want to become a knight squire, I have some ways, I can introduce you to, not a big nobleman, just an ordinary knight, but at least it's decent, as long as you are willing to work hard, maybe you can still get a good status, it can be regarded as a favor for Brad, he has let me go a few times. ”
"Thank you very much, Mr. Jerry, the Knight Squire is indeed good, but it is not an area that I am familiar with. I can teach myself how to fight, but I need some practice. ”
Roger's thoughts were about how to trigger the quests, which was important to him, and there seemed to be no pattern to the tasks issued by this system.
On the way here, he tried many times, including helping the old grandmother get into the carriage, finding kites for the children, etc., and there were no tasks that would appear in the game before.
Before reaching level 10 and making a successful turn, he doesn't have a lot of self-preservation, and he needs experience.
Besides, there are no levels in this world, and the so-called professions are not the kind of professions in the game.
The knight squire that Dimon said is actually the servant of the knight, at least before becoming a trainee knight, they need to take care of the knight's equipment, horses, learn the most basic etiquette, combat skills and exercise physical fitness, etc., and the transfer to a trainee knight requires the consent of the knight who follows.
The same goes for Amira, who is now a trainee ranger and needs Brad's approval if she is to graduate to become a full-fledged ranger.
In most cases, strength and class titles are equivalent, and a beginner ranger will basically have the ability of a beginner ranger.
If a Ranger has reached the level of Beginner strength, after his strength is recognized, people who know him will also recognize him as a Beginner Ranger.
Of course, there are cases where there is nothing to seem.
However, the knight is an aristocratic class, and it is not possible without the approval of the knight mentor, and even if he is strong, others will only recognize him as an ordinary warrior or cavalryman, not a trainee knight.
To become an official knight, you need to get a knighthood.
Roger has no interest in being someone else's squire, and he doesn't intend to leave his career to someone else. What's more, he is now systematically plus, and there is a shortcut, why should he take a detour.
"Who was your previous mentor?" Dimon asked suddenly.
"I don't have a mentor, my dad taught me some ranger skills, and I taught myself the rest."
Dimon nodded, "The talent is good, I don't think I really need to teach you anything, since you want the opportunity to practice, then well, I have a lot of good tasks here." ”
"Please wait a minute." After Daemon finished speaking, he left his place and entered the tavern, and in a moment, he came out.
"It's your mission."
Dimon handed over an envelope with his wax on it. The Assassin is a dangerous business, and in the relationship between Brad, he chose the simplest one, which is also to test the skills of young people.
If he fails, let him retreat and become a knight's squire. He thought so.
Roger opened it and looked at it, and finally a long-lost system voice appeared in his ears.
