Chapter 74, Inheritor of the Starry Sky
Erwin immediately followed and looked towards the walled city, but even if he used the [Detection] skill with night vision, he could only see a vague scene.
His eyesight is much worse than Susan's, and the [Detection] skill will only have the ability to be farsighted until it is upgraded to the second level.
"Who's coming?" Erwin could only ask Susan.
"I don't know, it's a carriage."
Susan shook her head and looked at Erwin worriedly, "Could it be related to the caravan?" ”
"Probably not, if they were smarter, they would have left Baron Xavier's villa during the day today, maybe they left overnight last night."
Erwin pondered for a while and didn't have a clue, but there were not many people who were related to the Steeltooth Iron Hammer Bandits, nobles, big businessmen and even high-ranking officers in the city defense legion, there was nothing strange about a carriage, but it happened to come at this time, it was really worrying.
"Regardless of it, it should have no impact on our plans. Mind you, if a large group of men leaves the walled city, it's time for us to act. ”
"I know."
Susan nodded, continuing to monitor the bandit city.
Erwin glanced at Illya who was nestled next to her - the female mage seemed to be tidying up some of the small things she was carrying, this was a rare time for her to be quiet, Elwin didn't want to provoke her, so he found a random place to sit down next to her.
Speaking of the [Exploration] skill, Erwin remembered that he had killed a lot of robbers last night, especially the bloodthirsty Jenny, and the experience he gained should be enough for him to improve by another level.
Click on the character attribute page of the game system, and the level has indeed been increased by one level.
Irwin. Sidias
Race/Humanmale, Faction/None, Identity/Civilian, Class/Mercenary, Subclass/None, Title/None
Level/6 (35o/7oo), Physical/Melee, Caster/(not enabled), Class Level/Mercenary/1 (55/1oo)
During this time, Erwin has clearly understood that in addition to some fixed NPC monsters, other characters or creatures, as long as they are in a hostile state with him, then killing each other will generate experience points.
This situation made Erwin happy but also a little melancholy, because he was afraid that he would use this situation as an excuse to deceive himself and become a person who kills indiscriminately.
From the current point of view, these people killed by Erwin are all robbers, and each one of them deserves death, but he will not forget the strange calm in his heart when he kills, and there is no wave at all - as if he is not killing a living person, but a set of virtual numbers, just like in the game.
Erwin didn't know if he had adjusted his mentality, he had indeed regarded everyone around him as a living person, such as Susan, such as Eliya. But his actions are as unscrupulous as in the game, and the laws and morals of Elend's world don't seem to affect him at all.
Sighing to himself, Erwin shook his head and put the headaches behind him, now was not the time to think about them.
No matter what happens in the future, as long as you stick to the bottom line in your heart and be a true self, it is enough to be a good young man with normal three views, so it is so easy to blacken.
The improvement of the level, in addition to the enhancement of attributes, is naturally the most important thing is the skill points.
Erwin clicked on the skills page and browsed through all of his current skills.
Almost every skill has a value to improve, but it doesn't help much overall, and the value of skill points makes it impossible for Elwin to waste it on skills that don't have a high sex value.
Thinking that it is very likely that there will be a battle after infiltrating the bandit group next, considering that his current offensive skills are not very sufficient, Erwin finally resolutely chose an attack skill.
【Shadow Sword】
Unleash a continuous and intense high stab attack in either direction, dealing damage per hit with base attack of *2
The final blow has a knockback effect
3o% chance to inflict Bleed on unarmored/clothed/leather armor
The cost of the body is \/7o, and the skill recovery time is \/25
[Shadow Sword] is extremely high at the level of elite warriors in terms of attack power and attack, and it is one of the required skills of many spear and sword professions, just like iron swordsmanship.
The only problem is probably that the cost is too high and the recovery time is a little longer, knowing that for a physical player, the body value is equivalent to the mana value of the caster player.
Once the body value is consumed, it will fall into a state of detachment and weakness, and in these two states, the attribute will drop by at least seventy percent across the board, and sometimes even running away is a problem.
Erwin only had more than 200 points at this time, and if he counted the recovery time of the body, he could only cast the Shadow Sword four times in a row at most.
However, this situation probably won't happen, and this Shadow Sword is sometimes quite good as a counter-kill skill.
…………
The three of them waited on the top of the hill for about two quarters, and finally there was movement in the walled city on the opposite mountainside.
Even with Elwin's eyesight, a group of men and horses, numbering at least fifty, rushed out of the walled city, and left the mountain area directly through the carved mountain road, heading towards the Ironhoof Plains, in the direction of Baron Xavier's villa.
"Can you see the leader's appearance?" Erwin asked Susan.
"Very athletic, bald tattoos." Susan frowned and replied, "I can't see it clearly at my chin, it looks like I'm wearing something." ”
"Good, they took the bait."
Erwin clenched his fist hard, the bald man with the tattoo must be Scott, who was broken in the jaw during a fight when he was younger, and later received a pair of steel teeth and iron jaws from a famous blacksmith, hence the nickname Steel Tooth.
The bloodthirsty Jenny is Scott's daughter, although Steel Tooth doesn't value this family affection, but at least Jenny is one of the important combat power and leaders of his subordinates, he can't give up, and it's normal to go to the rescue.
In the game, when the Steel Tooth Hammer is destroyed by the players, the total number of people is about 300.
One hundred of the robbers were away from the walled city for a long time, going out on missions to raid villages and caravans, rotating every few months. And there were at least three caravans like Jenny who used conspiracy traps to rob caravans on the Ironhoof Plains, and now they have been taken away by Steeltooth Scott about fifty robbers, and at this time there are no more than a hundred people in the walled city, and the garrison is unprecedentedly low.
"Now it's our turn to act, according to the plan we said before, after two hours from now, you can start to work, no problem."
Erwin clicked on the game system and set an alarm clock that only he could hear, it was now seven and a half o'clock, and at nine and a half o'clock he had to complete the three processes of infiltrating to find and rescue.
It's definitely not easy, but it's exciting!
"No problem at all, Holy White Prophet, in two moments the Silvermoon Archers and I will ......attack from the front," Illya said in her characteristic flat tone.
"Assault you, I'm asking you to harass and try to attract all the robbers, but be careful not to put yourself in danger of being surrounded or entangled." Erwin finally couldn't help but give Illya a burst of chestnut, and said angrily.
Regardless of the second female mage who was snorting in pain and clutching her head, Erwin turned her head to look at Susan with an embarrassed expression - she might remember it in a few minutes, but two moments were too difficult for her.
Erwin also knew that Susan was not very sensitive to the passage of time, just like her road idiot, and might be able to ask Illya to help remind her, but Erwin had no faith in the confident female mage.
"Okay, I'll show you a way." Erwin said helplessly.
Susan immediately pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that Elwin would always have a strange but useful idea at this time.
"See those stars?" Erwin stretched out his hand to the sky, and the two girls immediately followed closely to look up at the night sky, which was already full of stars.
"Yes, a woman with outstretched hands, this is a shrine girl. When the two stars on its left hand touch each other, it is half a quarter of the night, which is now two quarters of the hour, and you just have to pay attention to that. ”
"It's astrology!!"
Before Susan could react, Illya, who was listening, immediately lowered her head in surprise, her golden eyes were shocked, and she stared at Erwin tightly, "Where did you learn it?" ”
"Haha, I won't sue you."
Elwin smiled mysteriously, but was surprised that Elijah recognized her.
Astrology belongs to the spell-casting system in Elend, but it is more inclined to the mystical prophecy discipline, which is not accessible to ordinary nobles or even ordinary spellcasters, and has no concept of astrology at all.
Astrology is taught only in the most powerful empires, as well as in the highest academies of the enduring Titan Curia and the Nature's Breath Alliance.
When Erwin was on a mission to infiltrate the highest academy of the Nature's Breath Alliance, he learned the application of astrology from an NPC, but because he did not have the basic knowledge and systematic study of astrology, he could only use the constellations to see the time.
Unlike Illya's shock, Susan was very calm, as she had never heard of astrology, but judging by the name, it was a very tall thing.
And she was surprised that Elwin would know about these mysterious things.
Of course, this is just a small episode for the three of them, and there are more important things waiting for them next.
The only change is probably that Illya's name for Elwin has changed again.
"Inheritor of the starry sky, tell me where you learned it."
"What the hell is the inheritor of the starry sky, don't give me a nickname!"
