Chapter 28: The Festival of Grass
In a way, Rope One's methods of killing don't fit Raven's aesthetics.
This can't be blamed on Rope One, the golems designed and manufactured as killing machines are designed in the most brutal and deterrent direction, and it is best to scare the enemy as soon as they appear on the battlefield.
There was a small surprise when cleaning the battlefield.
The system suddenly prompts:
"As the owner of the strangled golem Rope Ichi, you can choose to give up forcibly absorbing the soul energy of the deceased, and directly let Rope One absorb the soul and flesh of the deceased to replenish its energy. Doing so may cause an unknown change in the Strangled Golem Rope. ”
Raven had an idea, and directly ordered through the soul connection: "Rope One, absorb the flesh and blood of the dead, but the soul is left to me." ”
Rope bowed and obeyed.
The system prompt then became: "Your soul minion rope one has provided you with soul energy, which is being converted into killing experience, calculating...... A total of 4,900 Kill XP has been successfully converted. ”
Raven said secretly: "Is that really the case? The world is the same as in the game. If you don't kill it yourself or kill it with your own skill ability, you have a large degree of experience punishment. It seems that cunning is never the right way! ”
Gaining so much killing experience just in time for Raven's assassin class to reach level 12.
Raven gains a free attribute point. This time, Raven increased his charm to 20 points. Before that, Raven thought that he would specialize in the Wanderer class, so the bonus points were focused on the Assassin side. Now that you have the Trap Warlock bloodline, charm becomes important.
Any base stat up to 20 is a hurdle. In fact, if the attribute exceeds 20 points, you can be crowned with the word extraordinary, and you are twice as normal as a normal person, and you are not extraordinary?
Of all the basic attributes, Charisma is the most special and has a ceiling. Thanks to the Half-Elves, a race accepted by most races, Raven can increase Charisma up to 25.
After all, there is always a limit to appearance, and no matter how high the charm is, you need a trait, or a well-known deed.
For example, identity, what princess, prince, just by identity there is a charm bonus. Who would you prefer to be close to the same person? A princess or a village girl?
To give another example, in the Trojan War on Earth, countries fought to the death for a peerless beauty, Helen. If such a beauty grabs it, will it be more face-saving?
At Charisma 20, Raven gains the personal specialty of Universal Affinity. The so-called generalization is a very sharp description. Except for a few aesthetically curious races or things, from the gods of the heavens, down to the devils and demons, from wild animals to elemental creatures, Raven can get a +3 recognition judgment.
Judgment is just as magical as in the World of Ultron game.
In all battles, as well as in communication between people and things, there will be a default judgment. In the event of an event, the player is given a 20-sided die, and the player rolls a random number of points from 1 to 20.
Each event will have the difficulty points required to succeed, and players need to rely on the number of dice points, their own skill bonuses, the environment, and other factors to pass this judgment before the event can be successful.
For example, if Raven wants to make a cold neutral be kind to him when he has no skills, he needs to pass a 15-point difficulty decision. Just rolling the dice requires 15 or more points, which means that the odds are only 30% at most.
However, Raven has two bonuses, +2 for the Persuader and +3 for the Universal Affinity, so Raven only needs to throw 10 points to meet the difficulty of passing the 15-point difficulty judgment, and the chance of success changes from 30% to 55% at once.
Most of the skill points are smashed on the stealth, and Raven's attributes are as follows:

And then about the Assassin's unique skills...... Still not hairy!!
Raven endured with anger, secretly vowing in his heart that this time he would solve the problem of Ellison and Shadow Energy in one go!
Raven is adding points here, and the rope is washing the floor over there.
Please forgive the use of the word 'wash', because Rope eats too cleanly. If it weren't for watching Rope devour flesh with his own eyes, Raven would have thought that there was actually a giant python that swallowed all of its prey whole.
The thick rope of rope was like a sponge absorbing water, and all blood and moisture on the grass disappeared where it slipped. Then, along with the armor and other miscellaneous items of the human body, they were all strangled into rice dumplings by countless ropes, and after making a stirring sound, everything that could be absorbed became the nutrients of the rope.
The rest turned into a large lump of magical black powder.
Well, at this moment Raven remembered the word fertilizer.
The best part is that when I come back after Ichi's everything, I don't even smell of blood on my body.
When all the value of the Blood Whips was drained, Raven was pleasantly surprised to find that the upper limit of Rope One's abilities had changed: Strength 72 (85), Agility 50 (65), Constitution-, Intelligence-, Perception 44, and Charisma 4
The key is one more line: the experience required to advance (86500/258000), and the materials required??
As a construct, the Golem can advance, Raven knows. It's just that Raven doesn't know what he needs, and it seems that he can only talk about it later depending on the situation.
Something happened in the evening that Raven thought he had to leave the convoy. Unexpectedly, the steward of the convoy and the merchant trembled as they strongly demanded that Raven stay.
"Your Excellency, our guards are dead. We don't want to pursue the reason, but for the sake of the gods. I hope you will come with us until the next town. We are willing to pay relative amounts of money. ”
Raven looked at Karin's unbearable gaze, but finally agreed, and accepted 50 gold coins from the merchant by the way.
He clearly felt the merchant breathe a long sigh of relief the moment he collected the money.
The next two days of the journey were boring.
The convoy avoided Raven and his party as if they were careless. It's no wonder that the sound of the strangled golem when it kills people is too scary. Since Rope was usually paralyzed in the carriage with ropes, and no one else could see it, rumors began to spread around the convoy that Raven was actually a demonic warlock.
Raven didn't care, but Karin came to comfort Raven: "Brother, don't care what others think." I knew that Jo Ichi was actually protecting me in his own way.
On the morning of the third day of departure from the City of Gold, we finally arrived at the town of Arrowtree.
Outside the town, Raven was separated from the caravan, because he was in the place.
The town of Arrow Tree got its name from the towering Arrow tree outside the town. A tree that is more than 100 years old can be hugged by at least five people, and at least ten people tall. Huge Arrow trees are like walls guarding the town of Arrowtree on a bald mountain.
Because of the beautiful environment, it is not only inhabited by humans, but also a large number of half-elves.
"Brother, today happens to be the Green Grass Festival!" Karin exclaimed in surprise.
The Green Grass Festival is a holy day for the goddess of love and goodness, and the devotees of the goddess are holding a large-scale celebration outdoors. In the distance, you can see this huge gathering of countless men and women in crimson straitjackets dancing around a pool of clean water, and they are not shy about showing off their beautiful postures. The man is fit, and the woman is bewitching.
In the distance, there was a faint sound of poetry and music, and the most incredible thing was that Raven saw a deer-antlered envoy in the crowd.
Antlers are standard celestial creatures who usually only serve as guardians in the Elysium of the Good Deities.
The antlers are slender and muscular, covered with short, dark red hair. In addition to its noble and beautiful appearance, the creature's most striking feature is the pair of long, curly horns that grow from the top of its head. The antlers have a pair of hoofed feet instead of their usual feet, but their hands are the same as those of a human.
In addition, the back of the hand is covered with a tough carapace. This allows it to use its hands to perform powerful swing attacks like a heavy assault weapon.
Probably only Chenny's Holy Day attracts such magical creatures.
Men and women will never have the same focus. Raven focused on the powerful creatures, while Karin was mesmerized by the feast.
"Brother...... Shall we ...... Dancing? ”
Raven's face collapsed instantly, as a standard human, he didn't have a single elven music and dance cell in his soul, and if he had to say what kind of dance he could dance, there was only one - pole dancing.
Right! Act as the steel pipe inside!
At this moment, a beautiful lady appeared in the midst of the boisterous dancers, and she grabbed all of Raven's attention as soon as she appeared. She stepped on noble and moving dance steps, twisted her slender and undulating delicate body, and swayed her energetic passion to the fullest, and there was no one within two meters of her.
She looks like a flamboyant human woman with a perfectly perfect body wearing only a translucent blouse. But she had uncanny soft red curls that were like a flame as she walked with her flowing steps. In the morning light, her bare skin was like brilliant gold, and her dark honey-colored eyes had rare almond-shaped pupils.
Those holy and beautiful eyes make people easily think of the word 'goddess'.
"What a beautiful man!" Karin sighed.
As if hearing Karin's admiration, the lady stopped dancing, turned her head, and with a glance, she suddenly walked straight as if she had found some great treasure.
Nodding lightly to Raven, she turned to Karin, her red lips lightly opened, "Beautiful girl, can you tell me your name?" ”
