Chapter 22: Bloodline
"Victor, didn't you really feel any changes in your body when you assassinated that mutant gnoll?" Master Edwin asked Victor with interest.
The battle to encircle the gnolls was so successful that all the gnolls and robbers had been killed, and only a few innocuous goblins and kobolds had escaped in the chaos.
On top of that, the fierce gnoll leader was slain by Esric.
The death of the leader of the Gnolls means that there will be no group of gnolls in the territory that can threaten human villages for a long time.
In the human camp, a total of three soldiers were seriously wounded, seven were slightly wounded, and no one was killed.
This result was a relief to Baron Escre, as a nascent lord, he could not afford to pay his pension.
When Baron Eskerry counted his exploits, he was shocked to find that the little baron, who looked weak, had actually shot seven gnolls with a heavy crossbow, and every arrow pierced through the vital points of the head.
This kind of terrifying archery is probably only comparable to those knights who are friendly to the wind element.
When he saw the corpse of the broken tooth, Eskeri was shocked and felt a little happy.
He didn't expect that there would be two fierce leaders in this group of gnolls, and if this thin and ferocious gnoll escaped the encirclement, then it would soon be able to gather a new group of gnolls.
It seems that more soldiers should be recruited, Eskerry thought to himself, but the poor finances of the territory gave him another headache.
In order to thank Victor for removing a big trouble for him, Eskerry offered to help Victor use the family secret method to make a specimen of the broken tooth's head, but Victor ruthlessly refused.
Back at the castle, Master Edwin learns of Victor's amazing results and takes a keen interest in Victor's amazing marksmanship and extraordinary agility.
Early the next morning, Victor again declined Eskerry's earnest request to make a taxidermy of the ugly gnoll's head, and with the Baron's eyes regretful, he led his party on a journey south.
As soon as he got on the road, Master Edwin kept asking Victor one question after another in the carriage, looking at the eager eyes of this old scholar, Victor could only smile bitterly.
"Master, you've asked this question three times. Well, I repeat, I didn't have any strange feelings at the time, it was purely an instinctive reaction, and I didn't even think about it the whole time. ”
Victor didn't tell the truth, and the sudden power he gained surprised and scared him at the same time, because he remembered the purification ceremony that the Radiant Church had held on the Black Castle Square.
Until he figured out where this power came from, he had to be extra cautious.
"It seems that it is the innate power of the Moon Elf bloodline that gives you superhuman eyesight and keen combat instincts. Edwin muttered.
"The power of the Moon Elf bloodline, Master, can you speak more clearly?" Hearing the Master's words, Victor's heart moved, and he was now very eager to understand his own state.
"The elves have lived in the depths of the Everfree Forest, thousands of years away from the human world, and we know nothing about their power system. However, it is certain that the strength of the elves far surpasses that of humans. According to the ancient texts excavated from the White Tower, the elves were extraordinary marksmen. Elven archers can accurately shoot high-speed moving prey with their warbows from up to 400 meters! In addition, the elves are very agile, and it is said that the main representatives of the elves, the wood elves, live in the tall canopy all year round, and they can run and jump freely in the treetops. Edwin sighed.
"So, do you think I've inherited the elven talent, and I'll be able to reach that level in the future?" asked Victor in surprise with his eyes twinkle.
"Hahaha, little Victor, I didn't mean that. Shooting a target 400 meters away with a war bow is only possible in the human world after a silver-level wind knight uses his fighting spirit, and from this point of view, every elven archer is equivalent to our silver knight, but do you think this is possible?" Edwin laughed and poured cold water on him at Victor's surprise.
"Of course this is impossible! If the elves are really so powerful, then how can there be other races in this world? Therefore, I think the elves should have special training methods and strength inheritance, combined with their bloodline talents to achieve this amazing effect. Relying only on the thin bloodline on your body, but without the power inheritance of the elven race, you will not be able to reach the level of an elven archer in any case. Without waiting for Victor to answer, Edwin directly expressed his judgment.
Victor felt a thrill in his heart because he knew he could do it!
After killing the broken tooth, he clearly felt a huge change in his body.
First of all, his eyesight has greatly improved, originally his eyesight was very good, he could see the eyes of the jackal 300 meters away, but that was the result of the X-3 chip helping him to constantly correct the visual image, not in the real sense of the word, but now even if he does not enter the overrun state, he can see the hare hiding in the grass 500 meters away.
Moreover, he has also awakened the ability of night vision, and the night and fog can no longer block his vision, even the Nightblade Leopard, which is hidden in the darkness, Victor is now confident that he can shoot it with one arrow.
Secondly, his hearing has become very acute, and he can clearly hear the sound of a gopher digging a burrow 200 meters away.
The most important thing is that he seems to be able to enter a state of communication wind element.
When he entered this state, all of his perceptions were greatly improved, and through X-3 calculations, his eyesight improved by 50% on the original basis, and his hearing improved by 70%, and even if he did not listen or see, he could clearly and accurately grasp all the subtle changes in a 10-meter radius around him.
And the last change is simply thrilling for Victor, who can now let the breeze around his body like a broken tooth, not only can he be extremely fast, but he can also make many unbelievable changes in his movements. In this state, his speed increased by 100%, reaching an astonishing 25 meters per second, and his body's agility increased by 150%.
However, to Victor's shock, he was able to attach the breeze to other objects!
This ability not only allows him to swing his weapon much faster, but also allows him to use it with great agility. And when he throws the dagger surrounded by the breeze, the dagger can fly at high speed in the air, but after a distance of more than 10 meters, the breeze around the dagger will automatically dissipate, but even so, the distance and speed of the throw increase exponentially.
This is already a transcendent ability that has to remind Victor of a wizard, which is why Victor must be kept secret.
Victor called the first state of communication wind element super sense, and the second state of controlling the wind element called Infernal, and when he turned on the two states and the overlimit together, he would enter a wonderful state, giving him a sense of omniscience and omnipotence, and it was in this state that he easily killed the ferocious jackal, but after this special state lasted for 20 seconds, Victor began to be dizzy, and finally had to quit this state.
Victor calls this state an apocalypse!
Victor felt that X-3, Sense, Infernal, and Apocalypse all had more potential to explore, but the current environment didn't allow him to do so.
After waiting for his own territory, he will slowly explore his potential, and for now he is still trying to obtain more information about the bloodline and supernatural power from the Eddar literary scholar. Victor thought to himself.
"It's really disappointing that there is no potential for growth!" Victor sighed to the old scholar, holding back the small excitement in his heart.
"Victor, don't be too greedy! You must know that the proportion of human nobles in the bloodline who can awaken the fighting spirit of knights is less than forty percent! Although you do not have the ability to awaken knights, you have awakened the bloodline of the moon elves, and you have been endowed with terrifying archery skills and keen combat instincts. As far as I know, among the human nobles, those who have also awakened the blood of the elves do not have such a talent!You are too lucky compared to us guys!" Edwin exclaimed angrily.
"Maybe it's because they don't have the same experience of facing death as I do!" said Victor lightly, but he didn't notice Nicole's pale face and her head bowed.
"Son, I know your yearning for power, but I have to remind you not to forget that you are still a lord! The old scholar solemnly admonished Victor.
Victor's heart was shocked, and he was a little stupid for a while.
