Chapter 38: Notes on the Tomb (6)

"If you can't get the skill book, you can only pay the tuition fee to study at the War Technology Academy in order to comprehend."

-- A phrase often said by combat skill practitioners.

There are three combat technology academies on the Marfa continent: the House of Senior Warriors, the House of Senior Mages, and the House of Senior Daoists.

These three academies are not different in the division of labor, but the different occupations of the founders have their current names, they are created by a warrior, a mage, and a Taoist priest, and the things taught by each academy are all three professions.

**********

In the past few days, being with Shi Qing has not been good or bad for the amount of harvest from the monster's explosions, and the only thing worth mentioning among those things is a "bronze sword". However, the windfall made us happy for a while!

That unexpected windfall came from the encirclement of a group of monsters, and a combat skill cultivator in his twenties died somehow there, and eight bottles of sun water burst out of his storage bag and were divided between me and Shi Qing.

I'm already able to equip the bronze axe right away, so the bronze sword worth mentioning was given to Shi Qing, who was very serious about many things, and Shi Qing originally wanted to give me a little dividend, but I didn't accept it, and I also taught him not to recognize some things too seriously when he was with his partner.

Shi Qing is still an eighteen-year-old boy, he was adopted in childhood, but he became an orphan last year, and he doesn't know much about some things in the world due to low self-esteem and isolation, and I'm happy to say something to him, but fortunately, he is more willing to listen to what I say.

But I feel that the reason why he is willing to listen to me is not that he really regards me as a friend to rely on from the bottom of his heart, but that I said that I want to help him improve his own situation. Of course, this is only part of the reason that is not very important, the most important reason is that I am convinced of him!

Although I am no different from ordinary combat skill cultivators now, my understanding of "basic swordsmanship" is not comparable to ordinary people! Although I can't use some exaggerated moves, I can still do it if I instruct him, and he has gained a lot from it.

Bronze Sword: For a long sword with a strength increase greater than that of a dagger and smaller than an ebony sword, use level 5 with an additional trait of [Induction].

[Induction]: Once a monster appears within a radius of fifty meters, and the person holding the bronze sword uses the [Induction] feature, there will be faint points of light on the bronze sword, and the number of points of light and the corresponding approximate location are the places where the monsters exist.

Usage limit: 10 times in a day.

The additional characteristics of the bronze sword can be said to be very practical or useless! It's useless because its additional property is only induction, and it doesn't play much role in battles between people. And due to the restrictions of the laws of heaven and earth, if you use the additional characteristics of one weapon, you will not be able to use the additional characteristics of the second weapon for at least one day.

It depends on what kind of situation it is aimed at, at least Shi Qing is more practical with this bronze sword.

Shi Qing was originally equipped with an ebony sword, and the increase in strength of the bronze sword was only a small part of that of the ebony sword, but it had more additional characteristics that allowed us to find monsters faster, which increased the speed of hunting monsters a lot to a certain extent, after all, the additional characteristics of the ebony sword [fire poison] only have an effect on the two fireballs of the magician.

The dangerous situation he encountered before the upgrade happened when Shi Qing used [Induction] to find monsters.

The orc tomb is crisscrossed by tunnels, which makes it very difficult to get around some dangers and reach a destination that would otherwise be not far away!

At that time, Shi Qing used the characteristics of the bronze sword to sense the existence of ten skeleton-type monsters less than fifty meters in front of the tomb, and we only needed to hunt four of these ten monsters to be able to upgrade both. However, in the tomb between these monsters and the two of us, there were some people who were scolding.

Listening to the content of those people's angry scolding, it is not difficult to imagine that this is a wave of strong people bullying a few weak people, and the strong people are surrounding the weak ones, and they want the other party to hand over the contents of the storage bag, otherwise they will be killed!

There are so many of these things that happen in ancient ruins! But at the same time, this is also an extremely dangerous thing for me and Shi Qing!

If you take a detour, the delay in time estimates that the ten monsters are very likely to be killed, and if you don't make a detour, let's not talk about whether the monsters can be killed, the first question we face is whether they will be robbed by the five people who are robbing! After all, there are as many as five of them, and Shi Qing's equipment and I are already considered to be the middle and lower class on the second floor of the Orc Tomb.

Involuntarily, Shi Qing, who was originally like a lone wolf, cast an inquiring look at me.

My chin lifted slightly, and after a few days of tacit understanding, Shi Qing and I ran wildly at the same time! We're going to rush through this part of the graveyard where we're robbed, and what happens here has nothing to do with us!

Running against a wall to indicate a reluctance to meddle in certain events is an unwritten rule among adventurers in the ancient ruins. However, whether the parties will misunderstand, or whether they are willing to let them go is another matter.

"Beast!"

With a loud shout, among the five people who were robbing, a young man of the same age as Shi Qing blocked our way.

"Say the fuck again!"

Shi Qing behind me was angry at that time, and blurted out with a roar!

Later, I learned that the young man's name was Cliff, and he and Shi Qing were both from Ginkgo Village. Shi Qing was adopted by an old couple when he was a child, and the old couple was the long-term worker of the Cliff family.

The superior and arrogant Cliff looked down on Shi Qing since he was a child, and at that time he called Shi Qing "wild seed", and bullying Shi Qing was a common thing.

In Shi Qing's narration, I found that this young man called Cliff is still arrogant and has some real skills. He is not like the average evil boy, when he bullies people, he bullies more and less, at least when he and Shi Qing are children, the two fight one-on-one.

Shi Qing couldn't beat the cliff, and after he worked hard to learn the first warrior skill "Basic Swordsmanship", he went to find the cliff and went to fight it alone, but he was still repaired! The two of them have the same level and the same equipment, but Shi Qing, who is crazy about practicing martial arts, is still not an opponent of the cliff with good talent.

Later, Shi Qing, who had no money, became an adventurer, and the rich cliff went to an academy, and the two had not seen each other for many years.

This time the difficulty of drinking Shi Qing from the cliff is a past event that makes Shi Qing feel painful, and it is also a past story that Shi Qing has not told me, that is, why Shi Qing became an orphan again!

The reason for this is not difficult to guess, but it makes people feel uncomfortable when they hear it! On a dark cloudy night, the alienated Shi Qing killed the old couple who had adopted him with his own hands.

I think this matter is definitely an eternal pain in Shi Qing's heart, but at that time, the cliff was mentioned again in front of a group of people!

Whatever his intentions may be, he has uncovered the deep wounds in my partner's heart with a taste of ridicule and sarcasm, and this man makes me extremely disgusted!

The angry Shi Qing rushed over at the same time as scolding "Cliff, I am a grass and mud horse", his eyes were red, he had lost his mind, and he didn't care how many people there were, what level they were, and what kind of equipment they had!

Shi Qing is my approved partner, and it is very likely that I will put my life into it, but if I don't make a move, Shi Qing will die, and leaving my partner alone is not my style! Following in Shi Qing's footsteps, I also rushed over!

The swords and swords, the angry scolding and shouting, and the sparks generated by the collision of weapons in the tomb where the phosphorus fire floated were so blazing and so dazzling!

This is a battle to defend dignity and friendship, and the five of them are stronger than us on the surface!

Shi Qing's equipment is: cloth clothes, gold necklaces, a pair of small bracelets that are less defensive than the big bracelets, and a pair of bronze rings, one of which is a small superlative, an ebony sword that was replaced before the war. Level 2 of "Basic Swordsmanship".

The five people on their side are: Cliff, Broken Stream, Bear, Wolf, and Goshawk.

Cliff: Male warrior, level 19, has practiced "Attack and Kill Swordsmanship", "Basic Swordsmanship" level 3.

Equipment: Weapon short sword, light armor, gold necklace, pair of large bracelets, and a pair of horn rings.

Short sword: Adhering to the characteristics of one inch short and one inch dangerous, it is short and sharp and slightly arched in shape, which makes it able to cause greater damage after entering! Its increase in strength is greater than that of the Ebony Sword, equal to the Iron Sword, smaller than the Bronze Axe, and it uses level 10 with the additional trait of [Fester].

[Ulceration]: A wound destruction that seems to be aimed at the gold sore medicine and the "healing technique", [Ulceration] completely invalidates the characteristic wounds caused by these two treatments! The recovery speed of general medicine is too slow, so this wound is very headache! If it is not treated in time, the [ulcerated] area will expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Usage Restrictions: Combat skill cultivators who have reached level 20 will not be able to use the [Ulceration] trait, and [Ulceration] can only be triggered by direct piercing of the short sword, which can be used twenty times in a day.

Broken Water: Male Mage, Level 11, Level 2 of "Fireball Technique", Cliff Cousin.

Equipment: Weapons: Ebony swords, light armor, traditional necklaces, hexagonal ring pairs, large bracelet pairs.

Bear: Male warrior, level 16, "Basic Swordsmanship" level 3.

Equipment: Weapons: Iron Sword, Light Armor, Gold Necklace, Pair of Large Bracelets (one of which is a small superlative), Bronze Ring Pair.

Iron Sword: The appearance is the same as that of a bronze sword, a traditional long sword. It has a greater increase in strength than the Ebony Sword, equal to the Short Sword, and less than the Bronze Axe.

[Heavy Attack]: An uncontrollable, unpredictable explosive attack that doubles its destructive power when it appears.

Usage Limits: The number of times that heavy attacks can occur in a day is fifteen, and the wearer's level reaches twenty, and the [Heavy Attack] characteristic of the Iron Sword is invalid.

Blue Wolf: Male Taoist, level thirteen, "healing" level two.

Equipment: Daoists don't have the offensive skills of their class before level fourteen, so the Daoists in the early stage basically use power-amplifying equipment. The only difference between the blue wolf's equipment and the bear's equipment is that he does not have a small and superb large bracelet, but he does have a small and superb bronze ring.

Goshawk: Male mage, level 12, "Fireball Technique" level 2, "Ring of Resistance to Fire" level 1, he is a brother with the blue wolf and the blue bear.

Equipment: Except for wearing a small piece of cloth clothing, the rest of the equipment is the same as that of the broken water.

In addition to these superficial differences, there was something in myself that I didn't care too much about, but it made me very angry in that dangerous situation at that time!

This thing is that the power of the warrior's "basic swordsmanship" at the eleventh level will become level two due to the upgrade of the Xuanyuan Rubik's Cube, and then the second-level "basic swordsmanship" will have to be comprehended through continuous practice. This realization is not too difficult, but it is not too simple, and it is usually piled up over time! Then when the level reaches level sixteen and you can practice the third-level "basic swordsmanship", the original second-level power of the "basic swordsmanship" will be automatically promoted to the third-level, no matter which profession's skill is upgraded, the principle is the same.

And I, the comprehension of the "basic swordsmanship" is enough, and the level is about to be thirteen, it stands to reason that the power of my "basic swordsmanship" should have reached the second level a long time ago, but it is still the first level! I don't know if it's related to my amnesia or if it's related to the backlash of the mysterious pendant.

Usually, this gap can be made up through skills, but when life and death are at stake, the slightest gap may kill people!
