Williams' special training for the Volunteers, based on his own experience, began on Tuesday of last week, and the main content can be summarized in three main areas.

The first is to increase the level, if the NPC wants to have the strength to fight the player, the high level is the most basic and the main requirement. Because there is a big difference in the ability growth systems of the two sides.

This distinction is mainly reflected in two places.

The first is the exercise behavior.

There are roughly three numerical benefits that players can get through various individual or comprehensive training, one is the growth of basic attributes: strength, agility, and spirit, one is the improvement of experience points, and the last is the growth of skill proficiency related to the training content.

And the NPC can only get two benefits from the exercise behavior, a small amount of experience points and skill proficiency, there is no ability value in this at all.

The second is the fight against monsters.

The player's combat behavior itself is considered a training behavior, and on top of that, it has combat bonuses that other training does not have, but the defeated monster itself does not provide the player with even a little bit of experience.

NPCs, on the other hand, are the equivalent of players in traditional hierarchical MMORPGs, gaining experience points by defeating monsters. After accumulating one experience point, the level will be increased, and then the ability value will be increased accordingly.

Since this is the case, then the thing to do is quite clear, and that is to bring a brush.

The number of monsters in this mountain forest where Williams and Lilulua live is not very large, but the quality is very high, and they are basically special individuals of the same kind, that is, elite monsters. And these kinds of monsters have a large territory, which is the main reason why the total number of monsters here is not much.

After waking up at five o'clock every day and going out, Williams always spends more than three hours cleaning up his surroundings, finding something to do for himself and preventing Lilulua from having an accident while wandering around.

After the special training began, he used this time to lead the members of the Volunteers to level up, and at the same time let everyone run and jump in the forest to warm up for the next things.

The only thing that is relatively easy in the special training content is the first item that is about three hours in the morning. All the Volunteers had to do was follow Williams on a cross-country tour through the mountains and forests, and then apprentice him in battle.

And after this time, the next two items are hellish projects that require their own vigorous activities.

The second part of the special training is to exercise courage.

You must know that the opponent that the Volunteers are about to face is a noble-player, and it is definitely a stronger existence than a commoner-NPC in a one-on-one situation. The weak challenge the strong, and fear is the first difficulty to overcome.

To this end, Williams came up with a countermeasure of "fighting with beings who are stronger than the strong". That is, let the people of the Volunteers form a team and try to fight the monsters like the players in the battle group.

Take the dwarf giant, for example, with its tall, muscular body, hideous face, and ferocity that can shatter rocks with a single blow. At first, as soon as they heard that they were going to fight this kind of giant beast, everyone in the garrison involuntarily trembled one by one before they could step forward.

However, when they can muster up the courage to stand in front of the dwarf giant, will they still be unable to move at the sight of a human of their own size? When they dare to take a large stone stick the thickness of a human head-on, will they still be alarmed by the dagger and sword that the human swings?

That's it.

However, fighting people is not the same as fighting monsters. There is a fundamental difference from how damage and bad status are calculated to how you can adapt to the actual battle.

To be specific, the battle with monsters has a strong pattern, while the fight with the living requires more improvisation.

There is no other way to train on this point, but to let everyone in the volunteers explore it in actual combat.

This is also the third item of special training, actual combat drills, mainly for volunteers to take turns fighting Williams in groups of three.

Truth be told, this training is even more torturous than having them fight monsters, because Williams is just too strong. You must know that he has super combat power that can kill dwarf giants with only two moves, and his basic attributes are as high as those of the elite monsters in this mountain forest, plus a brain full of wisdom.

Those who fight against him will have a strong sense of incompetence, so although this kind of battle is very beneficial, it can't go on like this forever, otherwise the team's self-confidence will completely collapse.

The members of the Volunteers should also fight against each other at the right time, so that they can clearly see their growth, so that not only will the lost confidence be restored, but also the fighting spirit will be higher.

In this way, the special training package lasted for more than a week, and now that the half-month deadline agreed between Antali and the mayor was gone, the time for the volunteers to finally leave the division.

"Click, click!"

In the dead of night, the sound of metal grinding was constantly heard in front of the main entrance of the cabin in the woods. This was issued by Williams, who was sitting not far from the door sharpening his knife. He was not a professional craftsman, so he had to use this simple method.

Williams' main weapon, the artifact "Unstoppable-Titan", is a special weapon that does not need to be maintained or strengthened. However, secondary weapons such as daggers that are prepared just in case still need to be maintained regularly, otherwise the sharpness of the hidden attribute will gradually decrease due to the aging of the weapon's appearance.

It's best to try to avoid it when you suddenly want to use it only to find that it has completely lost its power, especially if it may be able to be used in the near future.

"Lord Williams, are you sharpening your weapons?"

A voice suddenly sounded behind Williams, who was concentrating on his work, and he was slightly stunned at first, and then turned his head.

Lilulua stood in the doorframe, a worried look on her face. Because the moonlight happened to shine on that pretty face, Williams could see it clearly, but he still chose to play stupid for a while.

"Did you wake you up. I'm sorry. I thought that if I came outside, the sound would not reach you. ”

"Nope. I don't hear but see. Then again, Master Williams is going to go with them, right? ”

"No! I'm just ......"

"If not, why would you sharpen a knife that you rarely use?"

"It's ...... This ......" Williams was speechless.

"Sure enough, I'm going. And then, leave me alone?"

"No, how could I leave you here alone, it would be too dangerous. I just don't know what to tell you. ”

"yes, after all, you promised me not to do it myself. However, you can't help it. Lilulua's voice was a little plaintive, "Lord Williams, to be honest, I'm glad to see that you can help Antari and them. I also hope that they can defeat the thieves and return peace to everyone. But I also felt scared. Last time, you were expelled from Hatsuba City for helping your sister avenge your life, and if you kill the nobles again this time, I don't dare to imagine what the consequences will be! Master Williams, now that my sister is gone, you are my only family member, and I don't want to lose you!"

Hearing this, Williams was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and then said, "I know, Lilulua, I'm sorry for making you scared." But, Lilulua, do you know what I see in the mirror every day when I wash up?"

"What?"

"Every morning, if you try to look at yourself in the mirror, you can see the title of 'Great Lord of the Garrison' hanging above your head. When I saw this title, I thought, should I really have left like that half a year ago? Then, after losing your sister and leaving your eldest brother, what should I live in this world for? In the past six months, I feel very happy to have you by my side, but at the same time, the emptiness in my heart has never decreased. It wasn't until Antari came to visit that day that he asked me for help. At first, it was just my own sense of justice, and I saw your true feelings. But these days, I feel more and more the meaning of my existence, and the big hole in my heart is filled with something hot. So, I'm sorry, can Lilulua trouble you to accompany me to the end of this path?"

Lilulua stared at Williams for a long time, then swept away all gloom with a long sigh.

"There's really nothing you can do! But you still have to promise me one condition. Never do it yourself until you have to!"

"Ah, of course!"
