Chapter Seventy-Nine: You've Grown
It was destined to be a sleepless night, and after eating and drinking in the tavern, Ryan and his party hurried to Jadel's mansion to get their due.
Jadel is a business-minded baron who thinks that Ryan and his party have kept the road to wealth in Potter Town, and in the same way he has kept his dreams, so it is worth the effort.
So the baron put down his arrogance - "What I have here, as long as you like it, take it!" ”
"Ryan, I'll tell you the truth, this feeling of leading everyone to fight together is really amazing, I don't think I'll ever forget today's events in my life," Orpheus expressed his feelings to Ryan in the arsenal with emotion, "Fighting the forces of evil is exactly what I've always wanted to do!" ”
In fact, the paladin and Ryan wanted to say these words when they first met, but the atmosphere of the people in the tavern and on the road was too strong at that time, and he was always a little embarrassed to say it.
Ryan had a good impression of Orpheus.
He believed that Orpheus was a holy warrior with strong faith and conviction, and that he was still very young, but his fighting skills were the strongest among his peers, and that he definitely had a promising future.
Ryan then highly recognized Orpheus's performance, telling Orpheus that his name would now be widely known in Pottertown, and if he was lucky, he might even be able to find out about it.
After saying that, Ryan picked up a longbow and retrieved its attributes, and found that it was unexpectedly very good. Not only does it have a "Hunter's Mark" that can be used twice a day, it also gives you an extra damage bonus when shooting at close range, and most importantly - whenever you hit a target with it, you can apply a small slowdown field around your opponent!
Although the slow effect only lasts for one second, and the additional damage can only reach 1D3 at most, the effect is not at all comparable to the mage's "Gravity Expansion", but the biggest difference between it and spells is that it is not limited to the number of times it can be used!
The "Hunter's Mark" also perfectly replaces the effect of the original "Shooter's Eye". The latter is counted in terms of "times", while the former is counted in terms of "people". To put it simply, when Ryan uses the "Hunter's Mark" on the target, he gains an additional damage bonus for each attack.
A spell that is perfect for the Ranger.
Normally, Ranger prepares the "Hunter's Mark" when preparing their daily spell slots, but now with this bow, Ryan can save the few spell slots he has to memorize other spells.
In addition to these places, there is another feature of this longbow that is very much in line with Ryan's preferences.
It...... Long enough!
As a ranger, Ryan actually has a special requirement for the "bow".
When two bows of similar stats are placed in front of him, Ryan tends to choose the longer one.
The longbow is a man's romance!
Short bow? Although the shortbow has its advantages compared to the longbow, it is a bit strange for Ryan to be honest.
So Ryan was very happy to take off the bow that he had carried and used since he left the village.
The other side.
Orpheus was also very happy, and he received the thanks he deserved from the baron in this battle. But what made him even more excited than this was what Ryan had just said.
Golden Lions!
It is the group that every young paladin dreams of joining, and it is also the group that requires the most stringent fighting skills and "beliefs" of the paladins.
Orpheus wants to join the Golden Lions and eradicate the evil forces of the continent in the name of Tyr, the god of justice, and while he is very confident in himself and his allies, he can sometimes feel anxious.
What if, it doesn't work?
Orpheus thought that their performance in the last Holy Warrior Order was indeed excellent, but the Golden Lion Regiment probably had no shortage of young and excellent holy warriors.
"And if what I and my friends did today was known to the Golden Lions......"
Orpheus's heart was excited.
He could swear that among all the young paladins of strength similar to theirs, there would never be such an experience!
Therefore, in other words, if this matter is really as Ryan described, it will definitely be a sure thing for himself and his partners to join the Golden Lions!
Thinking of this, Orpheus was like a child, excitedly confirming to Ryan again and again.
Are you sure?
Can everything we do today really reach that city?
"Maybe, maybe not," Ryan patted Orpheus on the shoulder and encouraged, "but even if it doesn't, what does it matter?" You've grown, Orpheus. That's all that matters. ”
"So even if they don't know about it in the end, I believe you can join the Golden Lion," Ryan continued, "You are a good paladin who can truly fight for the ideals of the God of Justice. ”
Hearing this, Orpheus couldn't help but bow his head in shame.
"Ryan is right, my 'growth' and 'what I do' is the most important thing, so what does it matter if the Golden Lions know or don't know what I'm doing?"
On the other hand, Ryan continued to choose melee weapons. Although the attributes of the two daggers in his hand are very good, the upper limit of the daggers is too low, and they will have to be replaced sooner or later.
The process of choosing a melee weapon is much longer than choosing a bow, and the latter does not add up to more than two hands in the baron's arsenal, while the former has several times as many hands combined.
In the end, after some difficult choices, Ryan picked out the two twin swords that suited him.
One of them grants an additional +2 bonus when attempting to disarm an enemy.
The effect of the other one is somewhat similar to the Monk's "Dial Missile", which has a certain chance to help Ryan block ranged weapon attacks, including spells and arrows, but it cannot "grab" and "project" it for 1 Qi like the Monk.
This time it's different.
Ryan didn't give up his two daggers after changing his weapons.
There are two reasons for this.
For one, the twice-daily Lost Walk was a perfect fit for Ryan's needs, so while it might be rarely used in future battles, Ryan had a reason to keep it with the two spells it attached.
Second, it is related to "home".
Ryan admits to being a bit of a complicated person.
He yearns for the outside world and likes the feeling of adventure, but he also sometimes thinks of that village, and the dagger that Dasha gave him when he parted is the best sustenance in Ryan's heart.
