Chapter 68: The Epilogue in the Jungle (Part II)

"Oh." Hearing Arya tell him to come to the tent first, Finn couldn't refuse, so he leaned over and sat down across from Arya.

Lilith had already told him that Arya had something she wanted to talk to him about alone.

Now, it was just the two of them in the little tent, and Finn and Arya were looking at each other.

After a few seconds passed in a somewhat awkward atmosphere, Arya sighed softly, then broke the silence first, looked into Finn's eyes and asked, "You saw it all, right?" ”

Fain was stunned for a moment.

Then he lowered his head and apologized: "Eh, I'm sorry......"

"I mean something in a dream."

"Huh?"

The young man was stunned.

The elven girl was stunned for a moment, and then immediately gave him a blank look, thinking that he must have thought something crooked.

And Finn's embarrassed expression just now did betray a little guilt in his heart for the elf girl, after all, Arya is also a girl.

"That's... What do you want to talk to me about? After a slight twitch at the corners of his mouth, Finn raised his hand and scratched his hair, deciding to quickly shift the conversation to the main topic.

“…… This one. Arya looked at him for a moment, then turned her head sideways and reached out to pick up a leaf from the dirt in the woods that had fallen from the branches.

"Finn, look here." Arya picked up the leaf and placed it between herself and Finn's gaze, "Tell me, what do you see in my hand?" ”

"A leaf." Fein replied to her.

"There's nothing up there, right?"

"If you don't count the dust on it."

"And now?" The elven girl had a weak smile on her face.

Then, with a gentle twist of the two fingers that were gripping the root of the leaf, she rotated the back of the leaf half a circle towards Finn.

The young paladin's eyes widened with brown eyes, for he suddenly saw a small, dull, inconspicuous black mark on the leaf in Arya's hand, like a tattoo.

He recognized the black sigil - it was the "Vengeance Mark", a signature class specialty that could be mastered when the game character's "Witcher" class progressed to a second-order class called "Vengeance Hunter"!

[Class Specialty (Vengeance Hunter) - Mark of Vengeance: Once a day, mark 1 target unit within your field of vision.] 50% of any damage dealt to the marked target is converted to true damage. 】

To master the Vengeance Mark class specialty, the player or game native must have the Vengeance Hunter class advanced from the Witcher class, have not worked part-time in another risky class, and have at least 15 Perception attributes.

Based on the memories of Arya's nightmare, Finn speculated that little Arya in the past gave up her original Ranger class after experiencing that tragic memory and instead embarked on her path as a witcher, somehow changing classes between the two classes, so she met the precondition that she could master the "Mark of Vengeance" and not be able to work part-time in other adventurous classes.

Compared to the more demanding mastery conditions, the benefits that the "Mark of Vengeance" professional specialty brings to Witcher players are naturally extremely powerful, after all, you can imagine how terrible the damage output of the terrifying damage type transformation effect of 50% true damage can be on the marked target.

Unless you don't know the difference between regular physical or magical damage and real damage - or you pretend you don't know. Physical damage and magic damage must be deducted from the target unit's armor and magic resistance before a part of the target unit's health can be officially reduced, while the true damage completely ignores the enemy's armor and magic resistance, how sharp your sword is, how painful it is to slash at the enemy.

That's why many Witcher players in Ferdia would rather give up the opportunity to work part-time in other adventurous classes, and want to learn this powerful class specialty by advancing to the revenge hunter class.

Arya's ability to acquire such a powerful professional specialty after waking up from her nightmare is certainly a good thing for herself and for Fain and the others.

However, Finn's real surprise at this time is not that Arya has successfully mastered the specialty of "Vengeance Mark", but that this elven girl's profession at this time - she has successfully advanced her profession to a revenge hunter?

Finn wasn't a witcher himself, though. But he knows a secret about the Witcher class, and that is the Vengeance Hunter - a second-order class that belongs to the Witcher class system, and it is not something that can be easily assumed by running to a specific location after reaching the level and reciting a few oaths or holding a solemn advancement ceremony.

To become a revenge hunter, you must have a hater worthy of your best efforts. Whether or not the object of hatred is worth it is not up to you to decide, but to the game system.

This is also the reason why many Witcher players in Ferdia yearn for the powerful second-order class of the Vengeance Hunter, but few of them succeed in advancing - because the player's "alien creature" to Ferdia is different from the natives of the game world. The continent of Ferdia isn't a real world for players to put all their attention to, so you certainly can't ask players to have an unforgettable hatred for something that they know to be virtual like an NPC does.

Unless you're a full-fledged secondary student, and you're secondary enough to be able to seek realism in an illusory world.

"You look. Seems to know this mark? Noticing the way Finn stared at the black mark on the leaves, Arya, who was thoughtful, quickly saw something in the young man's eyes.

"Well, I know the mark." Hearing Arya's voice, Finn recovered from a momentary moment of surprise before refocusing his gaze on the elven girl's beautiful emerald green eyes.

There was nothing wrong with him answering the elven girl.

In her journey from Aurora to the forest, Arya had already seen Finn's knowledge as much as Arroyo, so she didn't show any surprise in Finn's words.

Instead, he went on to say to the young man, "There's one more thing to show you." ”

"Isn't it just this mark?" The young paladin was surprised.

"Hmm." The elven girl nodded in acknowledgement, "Pay attention to the leaves, my fingers, and my eyes. ”

After she finished speaking, she slowly closed the two curtains.

After about two seconds, the blonde girl sat down on a rudimentary weedy bunk and exhaled a small breath of air, reopening her eyes.

The moment the two eyes opened again, Finn saw Arya's emerald green eyes suddenly change to a different look, and the whites of her two eye sockets turned pure black when she closed her eyes.

The elven girl's eyes are as terrifying as a ghost in a horror story, suffocating cold, as if you can make your gaze feel like a knife against the tip of your throat.

If you're looking at her like Finn is right now. (To be continued.) )
