024 Master of Rope Art

……

Shadow Strike is a clever attack that uses an enemy's shadow to perform a small movement and then inflict extremely high damage in an instant's back.

Matthew pinched a spell straw figure on the spot and asked Ah Bing to demonstrate it.

The results are quite shocking.

"If you are hit by the shadow attack of a soldier, let alone crispy, melee units around the third order and below the middle armor will have to shed a layer of skin!"

What's worse is that.

Shadow Strike is simply the starting point for a series of combos after the Wanderer gets close.

Take, for example, the knife dancer of Ah Bing.

It can immediately pick up the Funeral Dance, a very damaging move, after the Shadow Attack.

It is difficult for low-level professionals to resist such sudden and continuous bursts.

"Sure enough, fighting with wanderers and not getting close is the first principle."

Matthew doesn't feel like how long Garcia's armor lasts when he's entangled in elite loiters, in his opinion, spell armor is the last underpants, and when you're forced to show your underpants, your life is not far from being handled.

Of course, that doesn't mean bottoms aren't important.

……

Another blue keyword is "quenching."

This is an ability that involves a series of steps such as poison identification, toxin extraction, poison bottle crafting, weapon application, etc.

Due to limited energy.

Matthew knew very little about herbalism and toxicology.

Now Ah Bing has strengthened such an ability, which can be regarded as making up for his shortcomings in this regard.

"In the future, I can let Ah Bing collect poison, come back to make poison bottles, make more, he can use it himself, and my crossbow arrows will be more deadly."

……

If it is said that the shadow attack and quenching poison are still within Matthew's cognition.

Then the last two white keywords are incomprehensible.

What the hell is "farming skills"?

Could it be that Ah Bing was actually a farmer when he was alive?

"What about raising the young"?

Did he raise piglets and other small animals before his death, or was Ah Bing actually a girl when he was alive?

Or is he a male with a lot of experience raising human cubs?

Matthew looked at Bing suspiciously.

The latter still responded to Matthew's gaze blankly.

After a while.

Matthew looked away.

He found a place in the corner of the bed and sat down quietly.

Matthew felt a little helpless.

"I didn't expect the gray keyword that just came out to take effect!"

……

"Sabotage (Gray): Your skeleton has learned passive slacking off in non-combat conditions."

……

Fortunately, it is limited to non-combat conditions!

If it's in battle, it's also a slack.

Then Matthew has to consider whether to give him all the subsequent enhancements.

Look beyond the gray keyword.

The good news is.

The last two keywords are purple.

The bad news is.

Neither of these keywords looks very serious.

……

"Shadow Dance (Purple): Your skeleton can wriggle its crotch quickly and violently to please and seduce the target.

At the same time, when dancing, some of its dance steps can cross the Shadow Realm, thus speeding up to get closer to the target.

……

Master Rope Artist (Purple): Your skeleton is adept at using rope art (including bondage) techniques, including rope art in combat.

Requirements: Before you begin, please prepare at least one strong enough magic rope for him."

……

"So what exactly is the Knife Dancer class teaching?"

Matthew fell into deep doubt.

He looked at Bing again.

The latter hesitated.

Then he got up and twisted his hip at Matthew.

The air fluctuated slightly.

Matthew's eyelids jumped.

That moment.

His brain felt like vertigo!

"Stop!"

He pressed down on Bing's crotch.

"I see, the Shadow Dance is indeed a bit sharp, and it should be infused with the power of some kind of ritual spell."

Matthew rubbed his temples to try to make himself more conscious.

And so on.

He was afraid that he would feel that the skeleton in front of him had become clear.

That's the effect of seduction.

His will is not low, and he is the master of Ah Bing, and he will still be affected.

If it's someone else......

Matthew's heart suddenly had a little more anticipation!

He looked at Ah Bing carefully.

It was discovered that the skeleton was very different from when it was first picked out by itself.

His bones were plump and hard, and with a large number of silver spots of light inside, he was cleaner than the other skeletons—almost spotless!

All over his body were bones as white as jade and silver.

"Have you bathed yourself?"

Matthew asked thoughtfully.

Bing was stunned for a moment.

After a full ten seconds.

He nodded uncertainly.

Matthew looked helpless.

Ah Bing is good at everything, full of potential, but his intelligence is too low.

This is also a common problem of the undead.

Powerful as a bone dragon Xiao Boil, it also only has 4 intelligence points - intelligence certainly does not fully represent IQ, but IQ that is too low is usually not very good.

Bing's current mind is equivalent to that of a 5-year-old child.

It's okay to have Matthew in command.

Going it alone is almost 100% a recipe for trouble!

"In this way, Peggy is truly unusual, worthy of the fact that I risked my life to find it in the Golden Land."

Matthew's eyes flashed with remembrance.

Yet soon.

His memories were interrupted.

"Knives, knives, me...... Me, the knife! ”

Intermittent thoughts came from Bing's soul fire through the immortal contract.

Matthew nodded thoughtfully.

"You want a good knife? The short kind? ”

Ten seconds later.

"II, II...... Two. ”

Bing responded.

"I see, I'll make you two suitable short knives as soon as possible."

"Thank you...... Master. ”

This time it took only three seconds to respond.

……

"Thanks to your promise, Soldier's loyalty to you has increased to 99!"

……

"It's better to be more loyal to the ones you have cultivated yourself!"

Matthew sighed.

……

After a humble dinner in the cabin, it was already a dark night outside.

Matthew pushed the door open.

A faint white light shimmered in the oak grove not far away.

Oak elves that hide in the shadows during the day come out of their nests.

With the exception of Princess Lulu, almost all of the goblins are dancing around Ella, the owl.

Ella, on the other hand, stood in the canopy of an oak tree.

Its eyes were closed, and its mouth was full of words.

A faint ripple of divine magic spread out like ripples.

Horse practice walks in the woods.

The feeling of being watched by a pair of kind eyes came back to you.

She's giving the oak forest an 'enlightenment'.

As a nature spirit favored by the Moonlight Goddess, Ella's attainments in the natural realm are much higher than Lulu's.

Through the ritual of 'enlightenment'.

She can inject more wisdom and vitality into the oak forest.

The oaks are healthier as a result.

And in the long process of growth.

If someone has been initiating for them, then there is a high probability that a tree spirit will be born among them, which is often referred to as the Tree Guardian.

If you're lucky, you'll even have a shepherd or two.

This is extremely beneficial for the development of the forest.

But it also means great consumption for the enlighteners themselves.

Maybe it was Matthew's side that I got a closed door.

Ella was afraid that he would not remove the worm tonight, so she fulfilled Matthew's promise to do in advance.

……

"Hint: Your nature companion Ella has completed an initiation ritual for your oak forest.

Your Domain: Oak has been given a slight boost!"

……

And this benefit?

Matthew was overjoyed.

Enlightenment not only benefits the oaks, but also strengthens their own realm?

"It seems that after the three-year period expires, we will have to find a way to get Aylardo to come around."

Matthew thought.

The only uncertainty is actually Lulu.

A fellow nature spirit, Lulu has apparently come to see oak forests as her habitat.

She can tolerate Ella following Matthew's will to come here for enlightenment in the short term.

But it's been a long time.

She couldn't bear it.

Because this is robbing her of her job.

"Lulu should have similar abilities in the future, right?"

Between thoughts.

The white light in the forest has receded.

The oak elves were gone.

Leaving Ella dragging her tired body to Matthew.

"Hey Matthew, I'm pretty good, am I?"

Ella asked, shrugging her head.

Matthew nodded.

He could feel the joy of the oaks.

Ella clearly didn't paddle.

Matthew's attitude naturally became gentle:

"Good work, Ella, you're doing a great job."

Ella said happily:

"So we can get rid of worms now?"

Matthew still shook his head.

In Ella's quizzing gaze, he asked:

"Will you sprout?"

Ella seemed to have guessed something, so she nodded vigorously: "I will, Matthew, this is the basic skill of the soul of nature!" I guess what you're going to let me do, you said your job is to plant trees, and I watch you walk around carrying saplings every day, so, are you running out of saplings? ”

Matthew said approvingly:

"You're very smart, I really don't have enough saplings on hand, but I have a small greenhouse where some oak seeds are being grown, but if you follow the normal process, they germinate too slowly, so I want to ask you to help with germination - you don't need to ripen all of them, a small part is fine, we can do it in batches, specifically, it depends on your physical strength."

"After all, you have just completed an enlightenment, and the consumption must be very large."

Ella couldn't wait to say:

"Take me there, you don't have to go in batches, I'll help you ripen them all tonight!"

Matthew hesitated:

"Is that good? Your body ......"

Ella is full of confidence:

"Don't underestimate the perseverance of the Nature's Spirit, Matthew!"

"Isn't it just a small greenhouse, I can still withstand it!"

……

Twenty minutes later.

Matthew's home in Rolling Stone.

In the greenhouse on the east side.

Peggy looked at Ella with a shocked look on her face.

"W-This is what you call a little greenhouse?"

Miss Owl said in a trembling voice.

She looked at the miniature greenhouses in front of her that seemed to have no end in sight.

It was dark in front of me and I almost didn't faint!

"The previous owner of this house left a ceremonial arena with space folding here, but my mana is insufficient, and I can only inspire a small part, and it is currently less than 15 acres of area."

Matthew said kindly:

"Do you need me to tell you more about the next working environment?"
