Chapter 1: The Return of Learning

Next Chapter

Outside the animal skin tent, thunderstorms poured down.

The tent door curtain was blown open, and among the black soil with sparse weeds, shoe prints were mottled and stepped on, and obvious indentations were stepped on.

The air was filled with mist, and the wounds of the claw marks that had just scabbed over were faintly painful, and there was an unbearable itch through the bandages.

The thunder flashed, and a bear-like man came out of the tent next door, slamming his feet into puddles and splashing, and leaving in the wind and rain.

Dirty water and sludge poured mercilessly into the tent's mouth, pushing aside the footpads, the temporary wooden thresholds.

The palm of the "......" hand slowly stroked from his face, and a sense of annoyance welled up in Ke Li's heart.

He got up from the bed, picked up a temporary wooden threshold to scrape the muddy water out of the tent, and then used the wooden bar to secure the door curtain.

This gesture is not elegant, but just a bit stubborn cleanliness and exquisiteness.

Back in bed, Colley fell into deep thought.

The predecessor may be dead, and the previous life may have crossed over, which is not important to the current Ke Li.

Integrating the memories of the two, Ke Li never struggled with this, just combed through his memories and needed quiet and alone time.

First of all, his name is Colley Kidman, and he was born in the Gryphon Empire.

Half of the country's land is classified as a country in the arctic zone of the Arctic Circle.

He did not end up here because he was destitute, but because he went to the bitter cold of the north to learn the craft from the barbarian craftsmen.

Whether it is the elixir of the East, or the gemstone craftsmanship of the barbarians, or the potion formula that floats in the background of the times......

Staying in the comfort zone of ordinary people, it is almost impossible to access this knowledge and secrets, and can only wait for the coincidence of fate.

However, on the way back, near the mountain fortress of Mammoth Horn City, the caravan was attacked by anomalous monsters.

The barbarian guards he hired managed to slay and repel a group of harpys.

Unfortunately, the process did not go well, and the entire caravan was beaten by the monster and fell apart, and he was poisoned and seriously injured as a result.

Ke Li's eyes were unfocused, his face was expressionless, the flame of the kerosene lamp was reflected in his eyes, and his thoughts gradually became clear:

"In this world, the level of medical care of mortals is really worrying, and if you want to resist death, the best way is to step into the extraordinary."

"If you want to be extraordinary, you have to combine extraordinary properties, and the higher density of the solution is relatively safe, but usually the worst option. After the fusion of high resolution density is extraordinary, it is likely that due to the average dilution of the characteristics, it will break away from the extraordinary and fall back to the ordinary. ”

For example, if hundreds of thousands of people perform a ritual at the same time, trying to become a lich with a necromantic relic, there is a high probability that the final ritual will fail, and the collective loss of self will degenerate into unconscious skeletons, zombies, and low-level undead, which is the risk of loss of control that exists for all extraordinary beings.

The higher the sequence, the higher the risk of getting out of control, and the more extraordinary traits, the stronger the mystery that the extraordinary is able to invoke.

After the ritual was completed, Colley naturally obtained this knowledge in whispers.

"The ancestor sequence ritual of the barbarian race is not suitable for me, and there is too much difference in terms of bloodline and characteristics."

"However, as far as I know, the number of extraordinary people within the barbarian race is relatively constant and a minority, and there is no possibility of all extraordinary people. And among the barbarians who seemed to lack magical talent, there were also gargoyle warriors who were turned into rocks, which provided inspiration for my unknown rituals. ”

While the guards were out looking for supplies, Colly made a desperate effort to hold a ceremony and complete the foundation stone for the purgatory pathway.

This is different from the known ancestor sequence mastered by the barbarians, which is an undiscovered ritual of laying the foundation and offering sacrifices to unknown beings.

After successfully obtaining the extraordinary trait, Ke Li became the [Purgatory Path-Demon Sequence No. 18-Jewel-Anomaly].

As a purgatory path, it can also be said to be a purgatory camp, and the essence of the human race is changing to the essence of the demon race.

The Demon Sequence imparts mystical qualities, giving him a strong instinct and talent for gems and enchantments.

And through the purgatory ritual, the soul traits can be cut and created to create a soul gem with extraordinary power.

In addition, the traditional knowledge of some demon clans is also imprinted in my mind along with mysterious patterns.

For example, for the bottom Sequence 18, the potential of the anomalous sequence far exceeds the [Prisoner of Perdition] of Demon Sequence 18.

The price is that Colly needs to explore his advanced rituals on his own, unlike the barbarians' promotions.

"But in this way, the original plan has been completely disrupted, and my sequence characteristics and extraordinary abilities must be kept secret."

Thinking about social status, memories of his family left Colly confused. He doesn't feel the close connection of his family's cooperative life, and he can't find a sense of substitution and entry point, like a bystander flipping through the manual.

His father's name is Gid Kidman and his sister's name is Cariga Kidman.

Gide was a generous and benevolent man, and when his family was wealthy, he was able to fully satisfy the resources of his children and grandchildren. He looks like a smiling shy fat man, afraid of killing and fighting, and extremely fond of the thrill of gambling.

The elder sister, Calika, has the impression that she inherited her father's business and tried to make the business of enchanted equipment and treasure casino bigger and stronger.

However, after his father went into debt and lost all his family property, the entire merchant aristocratic family fell apart and left home to find a way out.

The reason why Colley first came into contact with Extraordinary was because of the business of enchanting equipment, which allowed him to gain some occult knowledge.

I didn't expect it to be five years.

He left home at the age of 19 and returned home at the age of 24.

The cold wind in the northern region, like a ghostly bone sharpening knife, changes a person's temperament from the inside out.

Colli's face had changed to the vicissitudes of life, with curled silver hair and brown eyes, a pair of gold-plated glasses, and a cold and sly smile.

In his hometown, this pair of skins is paired with a set of dark dresses, and his appearance must be at the upper middle level.

It's just that Ke Li has now stepped into the ranks of the extraordinary, and it is unknown how long this skin can remain as it is:

"In the short term, there is no problem with my state, but in the long term, the number of people in the low sequence is the most unstable, the extraordinary characteristics are easily diluted, and the decline in mental condition is inevitable. Although the probability of out-of-control mutation is greater in the high sequence, the number of people must be smaller and the ecological niche is higher. ”

"If you don't want to be overwhelmed by the sea level, advanced is the only option, and you can embark on a path of inspiration and self-discovery."

"It won't be long before I hear voices that ordinary people can't hear, see things that ordinary people can't see, and encounter troubles that ordinary people have never thought about in their lives...... This is the anomalous resonance of extraordinary traits, and the vortex of fate from which all extraordinary beings cannot escape. ”

Originally, he planned to return to the Griffon Empire with gems and technology to become a nobleman, and become a rich man by selling gems.

The foundation stone laying ceremony of the Purgatory Pathway, which sacrificed all the magic stones and wealth, caused him to immediately turn back into a poor ghost.

As an extraordinary person with a more supportive nature, Colley needs to make money immediately to get out of trouble and strengthen his physical and mental state.

"Hopefully, by the time that day comes, I'll have everything ready."

On the night of the thunderstorm, the bear-like man returned to the wandering camp on the outskirts of Fang City and put two bottles of healing potions on the table:

"Mr. Colley, your medicine. If you don't pay the commission today, our escort agreement will have to be re-negotiated. ”

This tall, strong, thick-boned, white-skinned, blonde barbarian man named Korkan.

Extraordinary sequence, 18~15 low-level, 14~11 medium-level, 10~7 high-level, 6 and above have no intelligence.

Korkan is a low-level sequence extraordinary of the Warrior Path, Ancestor Sequence, and the specific serial number cannot be peeped into.

However, Corrie knows that Colcan has a legendary gem called Warcry Guardian.

This gem allows Colkan to grant a barrier shield of rage energy to his companions when he unleashes his warcry.

Considering the extra life-saving abilities provided by the Legendary Gems, Corrie chose to hire Colkan.

However, now that there is no money in his pocket, there is a big problem with the remuneration of this extraordinary man's labor.

"Thank you for your help during this time, if it weren't for you, I would have been kidnapped by those dastardly harpies."

"Although I lost a lot of property and now I have scattered with the caravan, I will consider hiring you again when I have the chance......"

Colley's eyes flickered, and he patiently gave reasons and excuses. He wanted to end the contract early, and at the same time he was a little apprehensive.

The barbarian is angry and can't understand human words, he was not uncommon in the past few years, and angry beasts are not easy to coax.

However, Ke Li was a little skeptical that the barbarian's anger was due to extraordinary characteristics, or because of his personality and environment.

"Really? The ancestors are above, this contract has not been completed yet, I'm afraid I will increase the price next time. ”

Failing to return to the Griffin Empire as promised, Korkan was depressed and annoyed by eating deflated on the way and changing his itinerary.

It's just that the scene was too chaotic at that time, black feathers and fog covered the vision, and the caravan was scattered, and there was no way to hold them responsible.

Now that the two sides are apart, the employer does not want to dwell too much on this matter, hoping that he has not disgraced his ancestors.

Before leaving, Colkan frowned and added:

"Although you have disrupted my plans, I accept your proposal because I still have things to do."

"I'm not going to leave right away, if you need anything, you can also pay for the magic stone in a single payment, and I'll take care of it for you."

The bear-like man got out of the tent, ignored the rain, and walked into the tent next door.

It was only then that Colly put down the flintlock pistol he was holding tightly in the quilt and gently grabbed the healing potion.

"There should be no problem with the potion, and the demon essence does not have to worry about toxins, diseases, and curses."

After drinking a bottle of the potion, the high-speed metabolism takes effect, and the body temperature rises suddenly, staying within a tolerable range.

He dragged the crate out from under the bed and took out pieces of rubble of various sizes and placed them on the table.

These are the raw materials for making gemstones, and they are also special stones for gambling stones, and they have not been sacrificed by unknown rituals.

The brown in the eyes faded into golden iris and pitch-black pupils.

Bright red replaces the whites of the eyes, forming a pair of red and yellow glowing demonic eyes.

The Demon's Eye pierced through the surface of the mixed stone skin, probing the composition of the stone.

Not surprisingly, these stones are of relatively ordinary quality and can only be used to make regular enchanted gemstones.

In Mammoth Horn City, the demand for combat hunting is very high, and the regular demand is relatively large, most of which are red gems.

Red gemstones are usually sun stones, fire crystals that can improve the killing ability, red essence stones, coral stones, etc., which can moisturize qi and blood.

The former allows you to kill your prey quickly, while the latter allows you to avoid becoming prey.

As long as they are not completely dead, the probability of the extraordinary person dying is very low, and it is rumored that some powerful extraordinary people can continue to exist in the world in the form of spirits even if they have no body.

The Devil's Eye went out, and Colly picked out a rough stone with the most red composition.

Take out the tool set and try to recall the techniques and techniques of the craft.

"Now you can't pick and choose, you have to make money quickly."
