Miss Ayala's dried fish, which she was about to put in her mouth, stopped in mid-air like this, and she was stunned for a moment before blinking her eyes: "'Smart Guard', why did you ask that meow, big man?" ”

"Is there something wrong with this? Isn't this the warrior monk lineage system that is unique to you cats and can only be used by you? Barrett looked at Catwoman in front of him with some confusion, and her pupils were full of doubt.

"Haha! That's right, you're not a big man, so naturally you don't understand the key to this. Miss Ayala in front of her randomly threw a small dried fish into her mouth, left the tail of the fish out of her mouth, and chewed the dried fish with her little tiger teeth and sucked it.

Looking at the catwoman in front of her, squinting her eyes and savoring the dried fish, Barrett always felt that there seemed to be something vaguely expressed in her words just now. This made Barrett chuckle in his heart, and gave birth to a very bad premonition. He had to interrupt Miss Ayala's taste, and hurriedly asked, "Isn't there a small inheritance of the 'Smart Guardian' profession among your clan?" ”

"Forget it! Tell me why you're looking for a 'Smart Guard' first! I'll decide how to get back to you. Although Barrett interrupted the process of enjoying the dried fish, it was indeed very displeasing to the cat people. But Miss Ayala in front of her saw that the other party was a provider of dried fish, and she still thought that she was an adult and said without caring about the villain: "If it weren't for too secret information, I might be able to meow for free!" ”、

"Here's the thing, I have a Smart Guardian among my teammates. However, because he left his birthplace too early to go on adventures, there seems to be something wrong with the inheritance. In particular, the very important professional ability, the 'Guardian Cat', is not as controllable as it is stated in the lineage. That's why I wondered if I could find a forerunner on the path of the 'Smart Guardian' in my territory to give him some guidance. Since he has a request for help in this regard, Barrett is naturally not easy to hide - of course, more importantly, because Miss Ayala in front of him is in the same camp as himself, and he is not afraid of causing too much trouble after leaking.

Hearing this, Miss Ayala's mouth opened wide, and even the dried fish that she had tasted in her mouth fell out because of it. However, as an agile wanderer, this 'thief cat' suddenly intercepted the falling dried fish with a single hand. She then put the dried fish back into her mouth, then grinned, "I'm sorry! I was a little scared just now. I never thought I'd meet someone from my clan who chose the Guardian class, and I also practiced to the point where I could use the 'Guardian Cat'. ”

"Do you mean that this class system has declined among the cat people?" Barrett immediately frowned when he heard this.

Miss Ayala's instigator chewed the little dried fish and swallowed it, saying, "Although it cannot be said that this class system has completely disappeared from the entire cat people. But at least as far as I know, there are no famous inheritors in and around the kingdom of Norhan. At the very least, if there is a fellow who learns the 'Guardian Cat', I should get the news here. Unfortunately, you're the only meow I've heard. ”

"In this case, it's not much different from being lost! It's obviously a special inheritance that only exists in the ethnic group, but why did it wither into the way it is now? Barrett asked, frowning, thinking it was a little too incredible.

In his memory, the special class system belonging to a certain ethnic group often has special abilities that are not available in general classes. While it is not possible to say that the idiosyncratic variant is necessarily stronger, it is definitely a trait that is more suitable for their own group - and when combined, the two should not be weaker than the common general system. On the contrary, because of its special ability, it can play a role that others cannot replace in some occasions. It shouldn't just go into decline.

"Forget it! Anyway, there is also a 'Smart Guardian' among your companions, and sooner or later he will have to go to his birthplace to find out. It doesn't matter if I tell you in advance here, meow! Miss Ayala, who took out a dried fish from the paper bag, smiled, "We cats! In fact, it is very unsuitable for the meow of the warrior monk's professional system. Even the 'Smart Guards' that favor our traits can't really make up for the contradiction between the race and the class. It is not known why that system was established in the first place, but now gifted people rarely put effort into this direction. And those who really embark on this path naturally belong to the type with no qualifications. As a result, this is naturally the case today. ”

Cat people are easy-going and agile, but they are often cognitively deficient. According to the system, the result is to increase agility and charisma while reducing perception, which is completely unworthwhile for the warrior monk. In addition, if Tianwu does not have the ability to fight wildly, he can't blast the wind. The pounce specialty that comes with it is also limited to claws instead of full hand-to-hand striking ability, and it requires a high level to obtain. This makes it extremely difficult for the Cat Man Warrior Monk to mix in the early days.

After all, the aborigines are not players, and the improvement of strength cannot be solved simply by fighting monsters and doing tasks with experience. For them, whether the warrior monk, a professional system that requires perception, can break through the requirements for perception is not low. Even the 'Guardian Cat' ability of the 'Smart Guardian' is very good, and when combined with Wild Combat Training, it can transform and pounce very early, and at the same time the damage is quite high. But this also requires a certain level of ability, and how to survive the initial disadvantaged period has always been a problem that plagues aboriginal professionals.

As a result, we have embarked on the road of 'Smart Guard', which is a very cost-effective choice for aboriginal cat people. Over time, this inheritance naturally declined, and it became quite a free thing to find a high-level professional related to it.

"Is there really nothing that can be done?" Barrett still asked with some reluctance.

When Miss Ayala heard this, she forgot to chew even the small dried fish in her mouth. She squinted her cat-eyes and looked down as if she was thinking about something. Barrett, who saw this scene, naturally closed his mouth, not intending to disturb this person's thinking.

After a long while, she spoke: "Anyway, this news may not have a positive result, so I won't charge you for intelligence." Think of it as a gift to someone you've never met! You can go to the mage organization and ask about it, they may have a good 'Smart Guard' there. ”

"Go to the Mage Organization and ask? And you can't be sure they exist? Barrett frowned when he heard this.

Miss Ayala nodded, "Since there is your companion who I don't know about, there will be the same outside of our race. You must know that although the 'Agility Guardian' is not very beneficial to its own development, it is an extremely suitable mage guard. It is said that a large part of the kittens that are abducted from various settlements every year fall into the hands of various mage organizations. I don't like those guys very much, but if you want to solve the problem, it should be a way to solve it. ”

"Really? It can be a hassle, but we'll have to give it a try. Barrett nodded, "Thank you very much, Miss Ayala, for your suggestion. If we really can't do it, we can only go back to the place of birth with him to see it. ”

Hearing this, Miss Ayala realized that Barrett was probably leaving, and she put down the bag of dried fish in her hand and said, "How about bringing that companion of yours to show me next time?" ”

"If you have the chance, you will. After all, he is more or less a member of the Boreham family now, and he will inevitably have a relationship with you fellow clansmen in the future. Barrett smiled and nodded. Obviously, I'm happy to see this kind of thing happen.

After all, Lalu and Rielie are already marginalized in the Boreham family's system. As a relatively scarce profession in the family, mages can also get a little preferential treatment. But there are some cats who can't get up or down, and if they want to have a good hair, it's best to get some extra help - among them, joining the group of cat people who were originally in the Boreham family system is a suitable choice.

In any organization that develops, there will inevitably be factions. However, as long as competition can be kept within reasonable limits, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages for those in power. As a newcomer who has just entered the organization and does not have a deep foundation, joining some small groups will also be a good help for development.

Barrett, who had finished the meeting, immediately rushed back to the hotel. Barrett, who gathered his companions together after dinner, told all the information he had gotten: "I didn't know this problem would be so troublesome at first, but I also found a new way, and it is not all fruitless."

"It looks like we're going to have to stop by to inquire about this in the future." Looking at Lalu and Leelie in silence, Clematis immediately turned to the topic: "By the way, I have good news for you, I don't have any restrictions on the non-disclosure agreement. So this mission is fully available for participation. ”

"There's no problem on my side either." The halfling wanderer then reported his situation as well.

The good news of these two did ease the mood of the players, and Barrett nodded at this time: "Then let's wait for this damn blizzard to pass!" ”

The power of the Ice Goddess is not unlimited, after weeks of raging winds and blizzards. The woman had finally exhausted the hysteria she had been accumulating for a whole year. The fireball, which had been hidden in the clouds for many days, finally appeared in everyone's sight. The winter sun exudes its own light and heat as always, but the sun falls on people's bodies without a trace of scorching feeling, but it makes people feel warm.

As the blizzard passed, the Earl's envoy found Barrett that day and informed him of the Earl's summons. Barrett, who came to the City Hall office again, took a deep breath and then knocked on the door: "Barrett is called to report for duty." ”

"Come in!" I don't know if it's an illusion, Barrett always felt that Earl Boreham's words this time were much more serious than in the past.

Barrett, who pushed the door in, thumped his chest with his right hand: "Family Reserve Barrett Borem is here to report." Ask the Earl to give the order. ”

"Excellent! This time your mission is to lurk on the northeastern border of the Kingdom of Cruze and monitor the movements of Lucia's army there. If there is any situation, immediately report it with the strange things given by the family. The Earl of Borem immediately gave instructions for his mission.

Hearing this, Barrett hammered his chest: "Guaranteed to complete the task!" However, I think that such a task should be performed by one person, so why arrange so many people? Moreover, although the border between the Kingdom of Cruze and the Kingdom of Lucia is shorter than that of our country, it also has a considerable range. Can I assume that there are other teams involved besides us? ”

Despite his question, Barrett received a system prompt: "The 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group accepts the historical mission 'Sword and Fire' precursor mission 'Snowfield Lurking'...... Settlement will be made after the quest reward is completed...... Quest ...... series Cumulative ......"

"You're right! This time it's not just you, the undercover team. You are only responsible for the area you have divided. Speaking of this, the Earl of Boram paused, "This is not our family's action at all, but there are not many qualified participants in the kingdom. As for the first question, it's because you don't just need to monitor the movements of the nearby kingdom of Lucia. When they invade, find ways to slow down their progress. This is certainly not to confront you and their armies head-on. But destroying bridges and roads, and attacking scouts, I think you're up to the task. ”

"Is the war about to begin? So did the royal family know about the operation? How could Barrett, who heard this, not understand the Earl of Boreham's voice-over.

The Earl of Boreham crossed his hands: "According to the current situation, the war should be this winter." As for the royal family, you don't need to be careful. Although everyone is constantly fighting, there is still a tacit understanding on this kind of major matter. ”

"Then how long do we need to delay the Kingdom of Lucia after the outbreak of war." Barrett pressed on.

The Earl of Boreham smiled weirdly: "Just do your best!" But your reward is all about your performance. ”

'Is it good to be close to the force?' In other words, this is actually a real combat test? Barrett immediately understood what Earl Boreham meant. (To be continued.) )
