Chapter 62: Genre Expertise
"Martial arts books?"
Charles walked out of the inn with the book, still confused.
As far as he knew, Warriors, Overseers, Rangers, and Wanderers were all considered classes that used the power of martial arts. And his own clerical profession, and the paladin, were divided into the profession of theocracy.
Druids, barbarians, and shamans, are professions that use the forces of nature. In addition to this, there are rare psionic classes, and the Warrior Monk is one of them.
So the old sword master asked him to delve into a martial arts book, how strange he thought. He is a priest who uses mostly magical powers, wearing heavy armor and holding shields and flails to enhance his ability to survive. The Charr had decided to move towards a pure pastoral route, so many of the war-line specialties had to be abandoned.
All he wanted now was to be able to stand in the front row when he had a shield. As for the rampage output or something, just think about it. Without a specialty that provides attack bonuses, and without the output of war-type skills, you can't beat monsters.
Hotel stables.
Quicksand and haunting the fingertips were already on the line, and they were standing in the stables looking at the carcasses of the three bantams, talking to something in a low voice. After a few days of traveling, the two became much closer, and occasionally talked to each other.
Hearing footsteps, the two of them looked at Charles in unison, waiting for the priest's explanation.
Naturally, the horse was killed by the Shadow last night. Charles gave them a brief explanation as he walked to the home of Patton, the militia leader.
There are still horses in the fishing villages, but they are generally not sold at will. But in the minds of the villagers, including Barton, Charles was the benefactor who saved the whole village, and as soon as the priest opened his mouth to ask, Barton waved his hand and asked the boys under him to bring three sturdy bantam horses.
"Pastor Charles."
"This is our homage to the sunset fishing village."
Charles handed over a money bag full of gold coins, but was sternly rejected by Patton, the militia leader. The priest was ashamed, and hurriedly beckoned the quicksand and the haunting of his fingertips to get on his horse and leave the fishing village.
The three of them walked towards the road, preparing to rush directly to Arabe, passing through Shenhai Town on the way.
In a grove under the Sunset Mountains, the Dark Knight hid in the shadows, staring coldly at the three men who were riding away, and only after Charles had walked far away did he ride his horse out of the woods.
"Heroic Juggernaut."
“…… After the baptism of the blood of the red dragon, it should be the 'Nether Sword' Orthos. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to slash the Fear Binding Spirit with a single sword last night. ”
"The sword in his hand is definitely the ancient weapon!"
Shadow Killer Antar muttered, looking back at the fishing village with a look of greed in his eyes.
"Oh, twilight Olthos...... I think His Excellency the High Priest must have been interested in the sword in his hand. He fought against the Winged Night Shadow last night, and he turned into a half-dragon form, which was bound to hurt his vitality greatly. ”
Anta felt that he should go back to Susar first and inform the Dark Temple of this information.
The ancient weapon in the hands of the heroic sword saint Olthos already has the qualifications to replace the Cormier Holy Sword as a material for the evil summoning ceremony.
In fact, most people within the Resurrection Sacred Order understood that it was too difficult to steal the Purple Dragon Sacred Sword, even if a legendary thief made a move, plus the key to the Crown Palace, it would be difficult to obtain the Purple Dragon Sacred Sword. Don't underestimate the wisdom of the former royal magician Van Geda Heist, a legendary man who has come into contact with Shinto.
So Anta must have dared that the High Priest must be interested in this piece of information.
With a replacement, it is equivalent to adding a layer of insurance to the plan, and even if the attempt to seize the Purple Dragon Holy Sword fails, then you can use this ancient sword to summon otherworldly creatures and bring chaos and fear to this land.
"Go back to Susar first!"
Anta thought for a moment, and then decided.
He looked at Charles and his group as they disappeared into the avenue, and sneered. The Shadow Killer had also determined the direction of the Priest of the Holy Presence. Going north along this road, it is nothing more than the two cities of Arabe and Tivanton.
Go back to Susar to submit the information, and then use the portal of the temple, he may have arrived at Arabe before this group.
In this way, he can arrange it in advance in Arabe, and by the way, contact the local organization of the Resurrection Holy Church to ensure that the key to the Crown Hall is foolproof.
……
Charles didn't sleep all night, and he wanted to sleep on horseback.
However, taking out the book given to him by the old swordmaster, and stroking the slightly faded cowhide cover, Charles could feel the heaviness of the knowledge in the book.
Let's see what it is.
Charles stopped his fingertips from quicksand and let him lead his horse, while he flipped through the books on horseback. As soon as I browsed the homepage outline, my face suddenly became solemn.
I don't know how long it took for the pastor to wake up to a row of text data in front of him.
"Reading Iron Star Stream in Detail - Prisla" was successful."
"Gain a personal specialization [Iron Star Stream Apprentice] (Beginning of the Genre)."
"Iron Stream: Lv1 (0/1000)."
Straight to a specialty!
There was a hint of trance in Charles's eyes, when did the specialty become so easy to get? His gaze is fixed on the book, and his reading progress is shown: 1%.
That's right, it's only 1% of reading progress. Charles was in disbelief and shook his head vigorously on his horse, wondering if he was too tired to hallucinate.
"[Iron Starstream Apprentice] (Beginning of the School): By reading the genre martial arts books written by the heroic priestess Prisla, you have a better understanding of the use of the flail and the hammer. When you use all three weapons against an enemy, you gain a +1 bonus to your base attack. ”
Charles' first reaction to the genre's expertise was that it was too buggy.
The two weapons commonly used by the priest can get +1 attack value, isn't it equivalent to that he has obtained the two specialties of [Club Mastery] and [Flail Mastery] all at once?
Now whether Xia Erxiang believes it or not, the specialty of [Iron Star Stream Apprentice] has indeed been added to the specialty column of his character attributes.
Martial arts specialties such as [Iron Star Stream Apprentice] should logically only be qualified to be mastered by martial arts professions, such as Warrior, Ranger, Wanderer, and Overseer.
"Is it because this book is a relationship written by an Aboriginal heroic priest, and can only be read and studied by the priesthood profession?"
Charles stared at the name "Prisla" in the book materials, and his thoughts moved.
"Qingxuan, you take this book to read it, what is your reaction?" Charles looked up and beckoned to quicksand from his fingertips leading the way.
The female wanderer turned her head, tilted her head slightly, took the cowhide cover book that Charles had thrown over, pulled the bantam under her seat, and began to turn the pages and read.
Half a day.
Quicksand threw the book back with his fingertips and said softly, "No response." It's just a martial arts book that explains how to use hammers and flails. ”
"Ugh."
Charles, anticipating this, nodded at the female wanderer, thanking her for the trouble.
"It seems that only the clergy profession can read." Charles thought to himself. The quicksand at the fingertips is just a general reading, and I don't see the mystery of the martial arts in the books.
With only 1% of the reading progress, there is such a fledgling specialty as [Iron Star Stream Apprentice], if it is supplemented by training when reading in the future, will it advance to a higher level of expertise such as [Iron Star Stream Disciple], [Iron Star Flow Expert], and [Iron Star Flow Master]?
Apprentice-level specialization with +1 bonus for attacks using the Flails and Hammers.
Then the disciple expertise, the expert expertise, Charles can't imagine how far it will go.
Armed with this martial arts book, Charles found himself following the path of a pure priest, and he would not lose his melee abilities in the future. If you read to a certain level, maybe you can comprehend combat skills?
Just thinking about it makes Charr's heart burn.
Then, during the trip, the quicksand and the two of them found that the priest, who was originally very quiet, suddenly grabbed the cowhide book with his left hand, carried the chain flail in his right hand, waved the flail a few times from time to time, and looked down at the book from time to time, looking thoughtful.
This state of affairs lasted until noon the next day.
The group arrived at Shenhai Town.
Shenhai Town is located in the upper reaches of Yilong Lake, across a large river called "Shen River", facing Alabe standing on the alluvial plain on the other side of the river.
With a permanent inhabitation of 3,000 people, a small wharf where merchant ships gathered, a shrine to the lucky lady Timora and the goddess of the earth goddess Shria, and an economy based on agriculture and small handicrafts, this is the description of the town of Shenhai extracted from the mind of the Charles.
There are already a lot of players around Shenhai Town, and yesterday there were players who exposed the news of time-sensitive copies on the forum, so the players in the Alabe area are all gathering in the town.
The most intuitive indication of the full number of players is that the inns in the town are crowded with people, and the sound of players talking everywhere is everywhere.
Charles and his entourage walked around the town for a long time, and finally rented two rooms for a dozen gold coins, and they could only stay for a week, without three meals. This is darker than most of the hotels in the middle of Sussar.
At the same time that the three of them settled at the hotel, one of the main cities of Cormier, Arabe.
A dozen well-equipped players walked out from the south of Arabe.
On both sides of the south gate were garrison camps, and the sound of roaring orders, leather boots stepping on the ground, the sound of crackling horses' hooves, and the sound of tinkling metal filled the entire area.
"It's strange, the drills of the Arabe garrison seem to be very frequent recently."
A berserker player with a long hammer spear wondered.
"War is near."
"There is no shortage of sages in Cormier, and it is possible that someone predicted a corner of the future."
A female player, dressed only in a dark red loose cloth suit, with long golden wavy hair draped over her shoulders and eyes like sapphires, said in a mature but pleasant voice.
"Alright, Bussman, Situ Ying."
The golden-clad woman stopped, crossed her arms, and stared with blue eyes at the berserker player with the hammer and spear, and the other silent wanderer player.
"You know this mission, right?"
"I've already transferred the best twelve sets of equipment from the guild warehouse to you to form two special operations teams. Lake Bottom Ruins' Time-Sensitive Dungeon Honor, you're going to get it back for me, no problem, right? ”
The blonde woman stared at the two male players, and her words naturally exuded a kind of majesty.
"No problem!" Bussman slammed the end of his hammer spear against the tiles under his feet.
"There's no problem on the Canglan Legion's side, and it's even more okay on our Blood Gloomy Legion's side. In short, the honor of this time-limited copy belongs to us in Twilight Blade. ”
Wanderer player Situ Ying said coldly.
