The place where the ritual takes place is the Mage Tower in the Advance Fortress. Of course, with those mage organizations or the mage towers built by the big mages, the building in front of you is also so deviant. For most mages, the Mage's Tower is their home, their sanctuary, their research center, and their fortress.

The Forward Fortress, on the other hand, is more of a fortification, a detection node that monitors the fortress and its surrounding area. A command center that mobilizes arcane circles and facilities throughout the stronghold - such as dealing with certain digging creatures or walking monsters that can melt into the rocks.

So for cost reasons, the builders don't invest much in research facilities. At the same time, the output of the four elemental pools and the arcane garden was mainly used for the normal operation of the fortress, and the resident mages of the fortress complained about it.

But these complaints should be unheard of by the top of the fortress like the Sigma Knights—after all, Norhan hired the spellcasters to bolster the protections, not to bring in a group of masters. Usually, it is good to be able to give them a quota as a benefit. Then go back and build the mage tower by yourself.

Five hours later, Barrett had completed the ritual and began to move his muscles. Everything he had just experienced during the ritual had made his muscles tense a little, and he was now busy releasing them.

But at this moment, the halfling wanderer, who had also completed the ritual, pounced on Barrett with tears in his eyes: "You bastard, I'm going to kill you." ”

However, the halfling wanderer still knew how to do it, and he was tearing Barrett's hair with his hands, and he didn't use his dagger to stab Barrett a few times.

"Stop, stop me, noodles!" Straightened up Barrett the Halfling Wanderer with both hands, and then took advantage of his size to keep the noodles away from him for a while - the length of their arms was very different. The noodles are not as long as Barrett's even if they are added to both arms.

But the noodle boy obviously didn't listen to anything now, and he struggled with his teeth and claws. The twisted ground looked like he wanted to come up and bite Barrett hard.

Barrett, who found that he couldn't appease this guy for the time being, could only put on a 'high lift' appearance and walk out of the mage tower with noodles. He was going to wait for his companions to gather his companions, and then gather the strength of everyone to deal with the overly excited emotions of the halfling wanderer.

Barrett didn't know how many aborigines had paid attention to him along the way, and if Barrett hadn't been naturally cheeky, he probably wouldn't have been able to return to the dormitory assigned to the blood-stained gray flower in the fortress.

And the Felder Knight that 'happened' to meet. At this time, he looked at Barrett and Noodle with a smile. It was as if it was saying, 'Who told you kid not to listen to my advice!' You see, something is going to happen now! ’

However, for the Felder Knights who came to watch the play, Barrett could only pretend not to know anything and speed up his pace. After returning to the dormitory, he had to get rid of the soldiers next door and help find several of his companions who were on duty.

Thankfully, in the siege battle a few days ago, it was not only the Norhan side that suffered heavy losses, but also those dark elves who were bleeding heavily. As a result, their siege momentum in recent days has also become very weak. Otherwise, Barrett would not dare to let people go to those companions who are still on the job. After all, when the battle is raging, absolutely no one can get out of the battlefield.

The first to come back was Lalu, who was not far from the dormitory, and the corners of the cat's mouth couldn't help but turn up after seeing Barrett and Noodle holding each other. And the cat boy didn't seem to have the intention of coming forward to persuade the fight, but set up a bench on the side to prepare for a good show.

Then came back the anvil in the cave. When he saw this, he asked rather blankly, "What's wrong with you?" Obviously this morning was fine, why is it like this now. ”

"That's right! Right! Right! There's something to say! Everyone has been together for so long, is it necessary to be so tense? Isn't there a problem that can't be solved through negotiation? It was a little surprising that Rielly was back in front of everyone so quickly. You must know that the distance between her post and the anvil is much farther away, even if it is a dwarf with short legs, it is impossible to be so different!

"Didn't I just take the noodles to a spell ritual? This ritual grants the Iron Will Specialty to the user. Speaking of this, Barrett's expression on his face also became a little unnatural, "Who knew that after the ritual was just completed, this noodle guy would become like this." ”

"The ritual of gaining expertise? This kind of good thing is called to us. Speaking of this, Rielie looked at Barrett and Noodles with a wicked smile, "It can't be some kind of adultery between the two of you!" ”

"Rielly, what do you mean by that?" Barrett, who turned his head, immediately roared at the mage.

Rielly waved her hand. "Don't worry, don't worry! We're very open-minded. Doesn't make irresponsible comments about the personal interests of their peers. ”

"Please, don't give us a hat like this, okay. What else to say! It's all up to you to make up for it. Barrett paused, "The reason why I chose noodles as the user of this ritual is because he has the highest demand for the 'Iron Will' specialty. ”

Among the several teammates who have been bloodstained with Gray Flowers, Barrett and Noodles have improved the most after gaining the 'Iron Will' specialty. Mage, Priest, True Name, Master, these three are all professions that belong to the High Will Exemption, so I won't talk about it for the time being. The warrior monk who was inaugurated by Lalu was even more notoriously exempt. Even if it is an anvil, although the original dwarven warrior has a low will, his current part-time stone warrior is a profession with a strong will and a high will.

So naturally, there are only the last two left for the most urgent need to improve the will immunity - although the wanderer has the good ability of 'mind and soul'. can help it counteract the effects that affect the will. But it's already after level 12 to get this ability. And according to Noodle's career plan, it is obviously impossible for him to obtain such a high level of loitering. So in this case, the 'Iron Will' is particularly advantageous for it.

"Anyway, can that ceremony be held again? If we can, we'd like to do it again. Either way, it's a good thing to have a little more volitional immunity. Rielie stopped talking about the stubble at this point. She looked at Barrett with some hope in her eyes.

At the same time, the anvil also nodded at this time: "The mage is right! It is beneficial to have a higher will attribute. Although my Stone Warrior is a high-willed exempt class. But it doesn't have the same charismatic power as creatures. In addition, my perception is not very high, and the will aspect still needs to be strengthened. ”

"The circle where the ceremony is held is in the fortress, so there's no question of not being able to hold it." Speaking of this, Barrett paused, "But today's two ceremonies were earned by me in exchange for my previous exploits in containing the Shadow Dragon. If you want, do so before you leave the fortress. How many feats have you been able to accumulate? ”

"What a feat! Then I'll have to find a way to transfer to the city. You can't get much by hiding in a cave like this. The anvil immediately began to touch his beard and calculate.

At this moment, Noodle suddenly struggled and shouted, "Don't! Other! Other! You guys don't do anything stupid. Otherwise, you'll regret it when the ceremony begins. That's really worse than death! ”

"What regrets, the girl is better than dead? By the way, did anything earth-shattering happen in the team while we weren't there? Then came Claudia. Auditore's voice.

Then walked into the house of Clematis. Bot asked with even more interest: "Barrett, didn't you just get out of bed today?" How did I guess that after a few hours, I actually made the noodles look like this. ”

"Can you get rid of you girls without saying things that are so easy to misunderstand!" Barrett almost felt like crying when he heard this—the number of rotten girls was terrifying.

At this time, Rieli didn't follow the crooked building because of this, she seemed to be more concerned about the ritual: "Noodles, you said we will regret it after we started that ritual." Can you tell us what happened to us during the ceremony? ”

The halfling wanderer who heard this was just about to replay his memory, but then he immediately snorted: "Don't ask me what will happen after the ritual begins, in short, you can get the Iron Will when it is completed." That kind of thing is all about spending money to buy sin, and that specialty is just an incidental consolation prize. ”

"Isn't it a simulated three-day tour of the scavenger cave! Are there any noodles that you are exaggerating so much! Barrett was apparently noncommittal about the halfling's claim: "And you weren't alone in that ritual. I also participated, but nothing happened. ”

"Do you think anyone's nerves are as big as yours?" At this point, the noodles continued to tremble twice. "This ritual is all about scaring people out of their iron will. If you believe me, you should never try that. That's not something humans should go through. ”

"It's clearly noodles, you're too timid! When you were attacked by those unspeakable things before, some of us had mental problems. Rielly immediately began to tease the halfling, and when she was mentioned about the noodles of her past troubles, her face immediately turned the color of pork liver.

Claudia. Auditore didn't forget to mend the knife at this time: "So it's worth a try!" After all, our psychological endurance is not as bad as a small man. ”

And Noodles, who was despised by everyone, didn't have the strength to get angry at Barrett at this time. He could only hang his head in frustration and not say a word. And Barrett, who saw that the other party had finally stopped, took the opportunity to put the halfling wanderer back into his bed.

Then Barrett turned to look at the companions who had gathered again: "Okay guys! What Noodles said before is not entirely unreasonable. A ritual to gain the Iron Will specialty. It's a bit uncomfortable. So whether or not to perform this ritual is better for yourselves to think about it. ”

A scavenger is a carnivorous wild animal that nests underground. But as the name suggests, these guys prefer carrion. And these creatures are very greedy. So much so that the victim could only leave a pile of bones and equipment scattered all over the ground in the dungeon. So you can imagine what the player will see in the cave where the scavenger has lived for a long time. As long as you can go through such a test, it is normal to gain an 'Iron Will' specialty.

Rituals like this were first performed in the real caverns of scavengers. However, it is usually rare to encounter such animals in the wild; Because they always run from one dungeon or hole to another to forage for food. So it's not easy to find the right cave. That's why there is a simulated magic circle used now, although the maintenance cost is not easy to say, but in terms of convenience, it is completely better than the former - arcane changes the world.

"Don't think we're as weak as noodles, okay. Since Barrett, you can complete that ritual without changing your face. At best, we'll be scared to the point of weakness. Definitely not like someone who is emotionally uncontrollable and attacks you. "Rieli wasn't so much showing her faith as she was taking the opportunity to kill some halfling wanderer.

"It's certainly best that you have that faith. But it's like that's what I said before. It takes enough military merit to perform that ceremony. As he spoke, Barrett swept his gaze over several of his companions, "This is a military fortress, and I don't want to spend money somewhere to solve all the problems." ”

"As long as those dark elves don't retreat for a day. I've always had merit in my account. Rielly then touched her chin, "The next time you have the opportunity to swap positions with those Sculptor mages, smashing a few minions with fireballs should be able to speed up the accumulation of points." ”

"Speaking of meritorious deeds, the two of us are going right now. The medical station is already understaffed, and if we leave for too long, the wounded will probably not be able to cope with it. "Speaking of which, Klematis. Bot immediately pulled Claudia along. Auditore walked towards the door. Soon disappeared from the sight of his companions. (To be continued......)
