Chapter 161: Skill Expertise in Animal Taming and Swordsmanship

Middle-earth is one of the few fantasy worlds that is relatively peaceful.

At this time of time, before the invasion of Sauron's orc army, the entire continent was considered safe except for the border areas bordering the orcs.

And the Shire, where the hobbits live, is a peach blossom paradise that most people have forgotten.

Thanks to the efforts of the Hobbit villagers, the construction of Wayne Manor was on track with the arrival of Bahrain and its dwarven construction team, and the workers worked together, and under the command of Bahrain's experienced dwarven builder, the entire manor began to be completed little by little according to the pre-designed schedule.

And since taking out the black bear Bizog, Wayne's daily life is not only to practice various skills and train Robin, the deathclaw cub, but also occasionally accept some invitations, or take the initiative to receive some bounties, ride the magic flying carpet, and get rid of some powerful monsters for the nearby residents.

In this way, time passed, and soon a year and a half passed, and the huge Wayne Manor was completed.

The Dwarven Artisans returned to Brie, some hobbit workers were hired directly from their original builders to planters on the estate, and even the old archon, Mr. Ford, was invited by Wayne to become his butler after retiring, taking charge of the affairs of the entire estate.

And the elder Ford is worthy of being an experienced manager, and a huge estate is managed by him in an orderly manner.

As for why, as a retired consul, old Ford would be willing to accept Wayne's hiring, it is because the hobbits also practice the aristocratic feudal system, although old Ford used to be an archon, but it was only a job, he is almost ninety years old this year, even among the hobbits, he can be regarded as entering old age.

If it weren't for Wayne's gracious invitation, the old hobbit wouldn't have gone to work at all, but would have become a laid-back farmer and live his old age.

After becoming Wayne's housekeeper, Ford Sr.'s most important job at present is to manage the farmland on the estate.

These farmlands were reclaimed by workers with great effort when they were built and will soon be abandoned again if left uncultivated for a long time.

Fortunately, most hobbits are skilled farmers, and under the management of old Ford, a large amount of pipe grass has been planted, and some of the herb seeds that Wayne brought from the wizarding world have also been planted in the land of Middle-earth.

Although it is necessary to wait another year or two if you want to rely on these crops to make money, under the management of the old man, the entire manor has begun to operate normally, and the respected Grandpa Wayne has finally lived a chic life as the owner of the manor.

Not only that, but as Wayne's reputation continued to grow, the name of the witcher spread farther and louder in and around the Shire, and whenever people encountered a monster that could not be solved, they would think of the witcher who had repeatedly completed the bounty and easily hunted monsters.

Well, of course, the inhabitants of Middle-earth will call Wayne the Witcher more affectionately than the title of Witcher.

………………

This morning, the sun was shining into the luxurious bedroom of Wayne Manor.

Wayne had just woken up from the comfortable double bed, and the two-year-old Icewolf White Fang wagked his tail and pushed open the door, running back and forth around Wayne's bed, and the excited action turned the neat blanket on the floor into folds.

After running back and forth for more than a dozen laps, the little wolf white tooth saw that the owner didn't seem to react, and the naughty wolf cub immediately howled, strained his legs, stuck out his tongue, jumped on the soft big bed, and brought its big mouth to the owner's side, wanting to use its wet tongue to lick Wayne's face.

But before it could catch up, Wayne's head was pressed against the bed. The force was so great that the little thing couldn't move at all, and could only let out a whimper begging for mercy as it struggled, and tried to lick Wayne's palm with his tongue holding its head.

Now that the little guy was pitiful, Wayne let go of the increasingly two-dimensional ice wolf, and let out a beast-like roar from his mouth.

Hearing this roar, the Xiaoice Plain Wolf immediately ran out of the room with its tail between its legs and gray as if it had seen a nemesis.

It's been almost two years since I've been in Middle-earth, and it's time for Wayne to return to the Witcher.

In the past two years, because there was no interference from the outside world, he was able to concentrate on cultivating various skills, and the purpose of this trip was mostly completed.

Among the four main skills of the witcher, the magic seal level or the mutation level are all limited by conditions, and there are no corresponding resources to improve, and the original level is still maintained.

As for the Gwent level, although he has the idea of promoting this entertainment in this Middle-earth, because it is still early and his prestige is not enough to promote this activity, the plan has not started for the time being.

In the past two years, swordsmanship has been the main skill he has to spend a lot of time practicing every day, and thanks to his hard work every day, he finally succeeded in upgrading the swordsmanship level from level six to level ten, opening the second skill specialty, becoming the first skill among many skills to open two skill specialties.

Among the subsidiary skills, although I don't know why, driving the magic flying carpet will also improve the riding level, but this skill has also been successfully upgraded from level four to level five, opening a skill specialty, but unfortunately the lack of ability points makes this specialty temporarily unable to be lit.

As for Wayne's other subsidiary skills, although most of them have not been improved, cooking and animal taming have made great progress.

Because in the past two years, Wayne's most important task is to domesticate Robin, the deathclaw cub, and the main way of his domestication, in addition to using animal taming to train him, is also one of the important ways to cultivate a good relationship with pets through cooking and feeding.

It is precisely because of this that Wayne's beast taming level has been directly upgraded from level one to level eight, opening up a special skill specialty, and his cooking level has also been raised from level seven to level eight.

In addition, in the past two years, Wayne has also accumulated a total of 600 normal-level treasure chests and more than 20 expert-level treasure chests, which have been piled up in the system space and have not been opened.

This experience of nearly 700 missions has raised Wayne's Witcher level from level 8 to level 10, not only has his physical fitness been slightly improved, but he has also gained two ability points, which can be used to light up his skills and expertise.

Beast Taming LV8: Animal Affinity +8, Master's Bond +8.

Skill Expertise Selection:

Beast Language: As a professional animal trainer, because of long-term contact with animals and long-term participation in animal taming, you have understood the language of most beasts, and can communicate with most beasts through language, and at the same time, you can better give orders to your pets. Effect: Gain the ability to speak beast language and communicate with most beast languages.

Beast Tamer: As the best of the beast trainers, the pets you carefully cultivate will get more nutrition and better training, making them the best in their kind. Effect: The attributes of the pets you raise are increased by 10%.

Faced with these two skills and specialties of animal taming, Wayne did not hesitate much, and quickly chose the first one.

While the second specialty can improve the combat effectiveness of the Deathclaw Cubs, the first specialization, Beast Language, is obviously more suitable for witchers who have to deal with a variety of different situations.

Just think about it, being able to communicate with all kinds of animals, then, isn't the whole wild world his helper and eyeliner?

And the second specialty of the tenth-level swordsmanship is also very powerful.

Swordsmanship LV10: Swordsmanship +50%.

Already has a specialty: Cat's sensitivity.

Specialties to choose from:

Swordsmanship Genius: Long-term swordsmanship training, let you discover your strong talent for swordsmanship, you are born a genius to use swordsmanship, although at this time is still a little immature, but as a swordsmanship genius, you have a growth rate that others can't match. Effect: Sword Level Increase Speed +200%.

Innate Divine Power: In the process of developing swordsmanship, you found that your strength increased far beyond other attributes, could it be that you are also a person with innate divine power? Effect: Increases the strength attribute by 10, and each time you level up, you gain two points of strength increase.

The skill expertise of level ten is obviously stronger than the skill specialty of level five, and how to choose these two skills of the sword skill level also makes Wayne fall into a temporary entanglement.

The former is able to increase his swordsmanship speed by twice the speed, but it will not increase his strength for a short time.

The latter can instantly increase his strength by one-third, and add more strength attribute growth in future level increases.

Both of these skills are undoubtedly very practical skills, and it is very useful to choose either one.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Wayne chose the second specialty.

After all, compared to only improving the strength of swordsmanship, the application of the strength attribute is more extensive, not only can you increase your own attack power, but you can also wear heavier and thicker armor.

And his current weapon is a two-handed greatsword weighing thirty-five kilograms, although it is quite easy to use now, but the increase in strength will undoubtedly greatly increase the power of this sword.

One force to ten will be very respected, in the Chinese concept of martial arts, is also very respected.
