Chapter 772: Adventurer of the Legendary Rank
Victor heard laughter from a distance in the camp, and on the grass next to the carriage hut, Nelson and Charlotte were laughing and watching the two halflings perform songs and dances.
They are less than a meter tall, but their body proportions are very well-proportioned, just like a seven- or eight-year-old child with a round head and a round face, a fleshy nose and large, pure eyes, which look cute and vigorous. They each held Bertina's arm and jumped around the campfire, singing and dancing at the same time.
The halfling's singing was crisp and cheerful, and Victor didn't find it so pleasant, but their singing was infectious, and Aka danced behind them and Bell, with a smirk on her face. Victor vividly remembers that Caligula swore that if he caught the thief stealing the spice bag, he would beat them in the ass.
The dragon maid Mei Wen brought the halfling thief back for less than half an hour, and the big guy had a lot of fun with them, and no one even noticed that Victor came over?
This is actually quite normal, and the singing of the halfling has a unique charisma, and even the beast Hydra sleeping at the bottom of the lake will be attracted to them. Of course, the halflings who can please the hydra lizard are at least legendary-level transcendents, and these two lively and cute halflings who can evade the perception of the Raging Wind Sword Master must also be legendary-level halfling adventurers. However, the legend of the halfling cannot be compared with the legendary powerhouse of the human race, the two belong to different fields, just like the difference between a hamster and a bobcat, each has its own way of survival, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides is too shallow to intuitively compare, in fact, it is difficult to say who is strong and who is weak.
In terms of size alone, the spiritual attribute standards of legendary halfling adventurers are much lower than that of humans, and the number of halfling adventurers is not too rare. The two dwarfs in front of him were undoubtedly the best of the halflings. They put on a hard show, trying to win the favor of the onlookers, and it is their extraordinary ability to eliminate hostility, so it's no wonder that Nelson and the others watch it with relish.
The dragon maid Leila was the first to spot Victor standing outside the crowd, she and her three sisters ran over together, held Victor's hand and said coquettishly: "My king, these two dwarfs are so interesting, can you take them as slaves?"
Victor smiled slightly, put his arms around Leila's delicate and flexible waist, and quietly climbed to the roof of the car with the four dragon maids, condescending to watch the halfling's song and dance performance.
He observed with rational thinking, and found that the joyful emotions of halflings had almost zero effect on the alchemy creatures, and that the alchemy humans and alchemy mastiffs simply ignored them, and that the dragon maids, who had natural life characteristics, had emotions of joy and sorrow, and to a lesser extent, they preferred to stay in the "dragon king" followed by the knights of the Randall family, both Charlotte and Klaus noticed the owner on the roof of the car, and did not make a sound to disturb Victor when he saw that he was secretly observing; then there were several fierce warriors, although Nelson was laughing with his companions, he had always maintained considerable vigilance, but they were mainly on guard against the situation outside the camp; the sword-wielding maid who had been trained to carry the sword looked more engrossed, but the subtle changes in expression and movements revealed a coldness, at least the smile on the face was just right like a delicate and beautiful mask, without that kind of heartfelt happiness。 After all, they are the secret law dead soldiers cultivated by the family, and their feelings are much weaker than ordinary people. The happiest are Bertina and Acre, two heartless guys who fuel the contagiousness of the halfling, especially Bertina gradually becomes the protagonist of the happy party, watching her bouncing around, Victor feels happy.
Bertina was far more endearing than a halfling, and the two dwarfs had begun to cater to her rhythm, while the tall, burly Caligula was simply cheeky and laughed at his stupid curling into a big ball of meat and rolling on the grass.
Excessive joy can also be tiring and boring, and the halfling regains its rhythm and ends the show before midnight to a round of applause.
Reluctantly dragging two halflings shorter than her, Bertina offered Charlotte to take them back to her tent to sleep, but the knight ruthlessly refused.
Charlotte ordered Renault and Shaq to put the halfling in a cage, and Victor commanded from the roof of the car: "Don't detain them, allow them to roam freely in the camp, you all go back to rest, I'll talk to them in a few days...... Bell, if you dare to mess around, I'll put you in a cage. ”
Bell blinked his big pure eyes and looked left and right, his chubby little face was full of confusion, and he took several seconds to run away. She figured it out that it must not be fun to be locked in a cage to sleep.
The crowd saluted Victor and dispersed. Charlotte raised her beautiful face, saw the four dragon maids huddled around Victor, quietly puffed out her cheeks, and said angrily: "Your Highness, these two halflings seem to be invisible, is it really okay to let them in the camp?"
Halfling thieves are invisible, and that's true.
It is recorded on the Will side of Alchemic Creatures that halfling adventurers can steal treasure from the dragon's lair without being discovered. These two dwarfs can steal from Argonian-guarded camps, and Victor's first suspicion is that of a halfling adventurer. He didn't find any traces left by the halfling, so he guessed that the halfling had the ability to become invisible, similar to the jungle cover of the Elder Bear Monster, making the opponent unconsciously ignore their existence. In addition to this, the two halflings also have special psychic instincts that can detect the greatest source of danger, which is His Highness Randall. Because Victor's perception method is very special, X-3 distinguishes the source of information through comparative screening, so as to break the effect of mental invisibility. At the beginning, the jungle cover of the Elder Bear Monster was useless in front of Victor, so the two halfling thieves did not move at all, and Victor could not find them. This, in turn, suggests that when Victor was in the camp, the halfling thieves' mental instincts were reminding them not to move or make noise.
Now, the archenemy talent has fully recorded the characteristics of the halflings, and it is impossible for them to escape from the clutches of the Fury Wind Swordmaster.
You can catch it even if you run...... Victor muttered in his heart and said with a smile: "It's okay, they won't run." You don't have to prepare food and water for them. These days, I need to observe them. ”
For the next five days, the Randall Expeditionary Force did whatever it was supposed to do, and the halfling brothers Bobo and Tian Tian did not try to escape, they made friends with most of them, helping them hunt and gather, cook, wash clothes, repair tools, and sing and dance, tell jokes, and always make everyone laugh.
That's right, Bobo and Tian Tian showed an amazing talent for voice imitation, not only were they able to learn various sounds vividly, but they also learned human language in just five days. Victor suspected that the halflings were born with the racial talent of being proficient in language, but after careful observation, he found that the mother tongue of the halfling was Elven, and the pronunciation characteristics of the elven language belonged to the same language family as the human language and the barbarian language, and was the original starting point of this language family.
Victor had learned both barbarian and barbarian languages, and it took him nearly half a year to master two new languages with his intellect, while the halfling brothers were able to speak the lingua franca of humanity fluently in just five days. Aside from the Elven language factor, their linguistic talent is truly amazing.
In any case, Victor must admit that the two halflings, Bobo and Tiantian, have integrated into the ranks of Randall's expeditionary force. His rule of observation for the halfling brothers is that they are not allowed to feed and that their personal freedom is not restricted, but in fact these two points are required to be enforced by the followers, but they do not have the effect of rejecting the halfling brothers.
To take the simplest example, the taste of wild boar is certainly not as good as that of domestic pigs raised by humans, otherwise the development of human animal husbandry would not have become a joke? The meat of wild boars in the steppe is unpalatable without exception, the meat is rough and tough, the fat ratio is too low, and there is an unpleasant fishy smell. The halfling brothers gathered and concocted their own spices and volunteered to help cook wild boar. Through their skillful hands, the taste of grassland wild boar is much better, and it is well received by everyone. They taste the flavor during the cooking process and fill their stomachs by the way. Because halflings really don't need much food.
Industrious and capable, eat little, and can sing, dance and tell jokes, such halfling brothers are naturally endearing.
After several days of stalking and observing the two brothers, Bobo and Sweetie, including an air elemental insight while they slept, combined with what he already knew, Victor began to draw puzzles for the halflings, an inhuman.
Halflings, like dwarves, barbarians, Argonians, and Assyrians in the Endless Forest, are all humanoid races created by artificially adding the blood of ancient behemoths to the original species of humans. The halfling is obviously a kind of wisdom created by the ancient elf race using the bloodline of the ancient giant beast demon rat.
They possess two core qualities, harmlessness and dexterity, from which the halfling's bloodline talent is derived.
Gifted with the environment, the half-body is compact and lightweight, with a slight impact on the environment, often leaving no very visible traces. High-level halfling adventurers can hide themselves with the help of the environment, even to the point of unthinkable. For example, they can walk on the water, and such dexterous movements will show a more significant effect on the ground, and the halfling adventurer sneaks through the grass, and the movement of the blades of grass is almost the same as the movement of the wind, and most creatures have a hard time finding the position of the halfling.
For that matter, the extraordinary abilities of a halfling adventurer are far from incredible.
The legendary halfling awakens the invisibility talent of the soul, combined with the ability to fuse the environment to evolve into three stages: low, medium and high, the low-level stage refers to the use of environmental characteristics to hide traces, the halfling adventurer needs a period of time to master the environment, and then enters the intermediate stage, the owner of the territory ignores the presence of the halfling, even if the halfling begins to steal, the original owner of the territory is difficult to detect, even if he perceives the loss of the item, he doesn't care, and inexplicably finds all kinds of reasons for the theft. Next, the halflings enter the advanced stage of integration into the environment, they appear in the sight of the realm master, and are gradually accepted by the master and become a part of the territory.
Therefore, the integration of the halfling into the environment is even the integration of the social environment, just like Bobo and Tiantian got their own place in the Randall Expeditionary Force.
The fierce warrior Red Wolf is a relatively powerful thief, and his theft tricks are almost eight streets away from the Bo Tian brothers.
Halfling adventurers are the best thieves, stalkers, and scouts, but for some reason, they hate the smell of old foxes, perhaps because of the blood of demon rats. When they meet the old fox, Bobo and Tian Tian are used to arguing to reduce psychological pressure, and their mental stealth is also self-defeating.
In addition to this, halfling brothers refuse to kill medium-sized animals such as wild boars and antelopes, but can hunt small prey such as voles and hares. Victor believed that halflings could fill their stomachs by catching hares, but the movement of hunting wild boars was too great to conform to their habit of hiding nature.
It can be seen that the mental invisibility and integration of the halfling into the environment are based on the "harmless" quality, and if the halfling kills a creature larger than itself, the ability of the mind to become invisible will automatically disappear, and it will take a while to recover.
So, halfling adventurers can never act as killers, they don't have this concept in their heads.
Due to the extreme bloodline talent of the halfling, the phenomenon of specialization is very serious, and Victor can't find a place to learn from, and the psychic warriors he trained can't give up their strong bodies and brave will to fight, right?
Still, Victor finds something interesting in Bobo and Tiantian's body - they are trained to be halfling adventurers.
Hiding from the Eye: The halfling uses clever footwork to go around the blind spot of the enemy or prey, as if it could become invisible.
Breathing Method: Halfling adventurers use a unique breathing method to maintain light movement and reduce physical exertion.
Ventriloquism: Halfling Adventure is able to imitate various sounds in nature, and then use environmental characteristics to create echoes to confuse the judgment of enemies. Bobo had been hiding in the grass to imitate a wolverine humming, but the sound appeared twenty meters away from him, and a steppe grouse next to him flew out in fright.
Victor is interested in the halfling adventurer's training methods, believing that these small skills are useful and may be able to be taught to human scouts. But there's more to him than that.
On the morning of the sixth day, Victor finally decided to call the two brothers, Bobo and Tiantian, to the carriage hut and let him personally interrogate the information. When Pastor Dane received Charlotte's notice, he ran over and said he was going to sit in as well.
As for the potential connection between the elves and Victor, everyone in the camp should know by now. Victor knew that Priest Dain and his followers were afraid that they would be abducted by the elves, so they had to keep an eye on the communication between him and the halfling.
Victor allowed Dane and Charlotte to sit in on the listen, and after he asked Bobo and Tiantian to bring them over, the first thing he said was:
"You ...... Do you know me?"
