【Set Sail】Official YY: 208714, welcome everyone!
Anne's awakening was a joy for all, and Rhodes was no exception. But that doesn't mean Anne's ordeal ends there. Even though they killed the Death Knight in the end, Annie's behavior was still an outright disobedience to the order, so in the end, Rhodes made the decision to punish him———Three days of the little black room is waiting for you."
Even though Anne sat on the bed very aggrieved and looked at Rhodes with pitiful eyes like an abandoned puppy, it still didn't change his decision. Although this punishment may seem unfair to ordinary people, Rhodes does not intend to break the rules. In the game, occasionally players will get nervous and don't listen to orders because of various problems, and at that time everyone just laughs, because even if they fail, it is only once, and they can also use this as a joke in the future. But in reality, Rhodes was not willing to take this risk, just like this time, although Anne managed to attract the attention of the Death Knight, she was also seriously injured, and if she didn't have the blood of a half-beast, I am afraid that she would have died by now. This kind of thing will never be agreed to unless it is a last resort. And the reason why he made such a punishment was also to warn others. Don't think that if the result is good, everything is good, if everyone thinks like this, then why do you want to be the head of the regiment? Why don't you just let it go?
Although Lijie and Walker Sr. both pleaded with Rod, and even Marlene, who has always been serious, hoped that Rhodes could negotiate, but in the end Rod chose to uphold the original verdict and did not accept the appeal. Seeing that the matter has come to this, there is nothing anyone else can do. Fortunately, Rod's order only did not allow Anne to go out, and others could go to see her, which made Anne not particularly lonely. However, looking at the blue sky and white clouds and grass outside, there is no way to enjoy and play to the fullest, which is indeed a very cruel punishment for Anne.
After returning from the Silent Highlands, Starlight takes a break from life. Not only Rhodes's mercenary group, but other mercenary groups are also rare to stop going on missions, after all, since these days, all mercenary groups have suffered heavy losses, and they can't squeeze out manpower to complete the task for a while.
However, there is still one news that surprised many mercenary groups, that is, after completing the mission of the Silent Heights, Rod's Starlight Mercenary Group jumped up and entered the top three with 9 points. The mercenary groups ahead of it are "Burning Blade" and "Dark Fang". "This is also the only mercenary group in this mission that has not suffered losses due to the previous mission.
For "Burning Blade" and "Darkfang." "Mercenaries are no strangers, these two mercenary groups are both first-level mercenary groups in the Pafield area, they are large in number, and they are both very strong. It is also the main force competing for the mercenary guild place. But Rod's Starlight on the list really surprised everyone, the news between the mercenaries is circulated with each other, and they naturally know very well how Starlight was created. However, it is really surprising that such a mercenary group, which is only four or five people, and has not even made up enough regular numbers since the beginning of its creation, can jump into the top three.
If it is said that Starlight is on the list because of the sharp decline in the strength of other mercenary groups, then these mercenaries may not be so surprised. After all, that's just opportunistic, not a real skill. But looking at the three missions completed by the Starlight Mercenary Group, no one would have such an idea. 3 points for cleaning up the Pavel Cemetery, 1 point for collecting magic plants for soy sauce, and 5 points for the Silent Heights Rescue Mission. Two of the three missions are related to the undead, and all of them are "high-danger area missions" for the undead. "But it's amazing that Starlight was able to win two times in a row and walk away. On the other hand, the other mercenary groups, although many of them received undead missions that were less dangerous than these two missions, they still suffered heavy losses, not to mention completing the mission, it would be good to be able to come back alive. …,
Because of this, it is not surprising that Starlight's reputation has gradually spread among the mercenary circles, and there is even a shadow that faintly overwhelms the two mercenary groups. The reason why "Burning Blade" and "Darkfang" were able to remain intact was because they had so many tasks to complete that they refused to be commissioned by the other party, so they escaped the disaster. If they also participate in battles with the undead, then it is difficult to say how it turned out. But on the other hand, Starlight, although there are not many people, but both times they take the initiative to fight the undead, and they are able to complete the task, at least in the eyes of everyone, so compared to the two, Starlight's strength does seem to be slightly stronger.
However, Rod did not care about these things, and after the "final judgment" against Anne was handed down, he locked himself in his study and began to write and draw on paper. At this moment, he has more important things to do, that is, the planning of skill points.
In the game, skill points are the most important presence for the player, even more important than experience and equipment. Because skill points can not only unlock and upgrade the talent tree, but also increase the proficiency of various skills. Each class has three different talent trees, and each path requires a total of 35-37 skills to fully awaken. However, this does not mean that the rest of the skill points are wasted, in fact, improving the proficiency of various skills is where the most skill points are spent.
There are three ways to increase the proficiency of skills, one is the most common, as long as you use it regularly, it will improve after using it hundreds or thousands of times. The other is to find books related to this skill to read, and if you comprehend it, you can also increase the level, and the last thing is to use skill points to directly improve your proficiency.
For players, the first is too much of a waste of time, and the second is quite time-consuming and laborious, after all, the books of each skill themselves are very rare, and the beginner and intermediate ones are good to say, and the skill books above the advanced level are as rare as the ancient equipment, not to mention that this thing is limited in the game, and it is impossible to find one less than one. The third one is much more convenient, after upgrading, you can improve as much as you want with a little light.
If you want to be self-reliant and eat with real skills? See Serek? His current swordsmanship level is almost A-level, and if players want to increase their proficiency by constantly practicing to reach the level of Serek, it will be impossible in a few years. But what player would have the patience to practice a skill for years?
And almost every skill is a big eater, take Rhodes's Moon Shadow Sword Technique, for example, if you want to reach the highest M level, it is impossible without 25 to 30 skills. And just the skill points required for this one swordsmanship are almost the same as a full talent tree.
This is also a very disadvantageous setting for summoning swordsmen, because according to their initial skills, they are one level lower than the normal level, which also means that each skill, summoning swordsmen consumes one more level of skill points than other classes. That's not something to boast about.
In the game of Dragon Soul Continent, after a player reaches the full level, he can have at least 100 skill points, in addition, and the skill points obtained through special tasks, props, and equipment are added up, and the skill points that medium players can obtain are about 200 to 300. And Rhodes earned as many as 500 skill points in the game, which is one of the most important reasons why he can stand at the top. The more skill points, the more skills that can be promoted to the top, the more terrifying they are, and this principle remains the same.
Now Rhodes has spent five points of talent on the "Soul Resonance" and "Structural Coordination" of the first layer of the "Summoning Master". "That way, he can already unlock a second tier of talent. Then there was the Moon Shadow Swordsmanship with proficiency C and the Starfall Swordsmanship with proficiency E, and he saved the remaining five skills and didn't use them immediately. And after accidentally defeating the Death Knight, Rhodes unsurprisingly increased one level due to skipping the level to slash the boss, reaching level sixteen, and at the same time, there are already as many as seven skill points in his hands. …,
And what Rhodes has to face next is the problem of how to use skill points.
After Awakening Talent at level 10, he will receive 2 skill points per level, which means that when Rhodes reaches the level 100 cap, he will have at least 190 skill points.
But that was a distant thing, and he was focused on the immediate problem.
Rod stopped his pen.
If any player were to see the contents of the piece of paper in front of him, they would all be stunned, because what was written on this piece of paper was all the routes to summon the three major talents of the swordsman, and all the sword skills that Rhodes now possessed and the skill points required for these talents and skills. The library that can walk is truly worthy of its name, as it is possible to reproduce these materials in their entirety by simply remembering them without using a computer to search them.
What's next?
Putting down the pen in his hand, Rod stared at the information in front of him with a deep groan.
The first reaction of any player after receiving such an "unexpected reward" is to have full talent specialization, and so did Rod's reaction, but he soon began to reconsider his decision. Is this necessary now?
This is not a game, it's a reality. If it's in the game, Rhodes can take advantage of the player's mindset to do this, as it will give him an unexpected advantage in PVP with others. But in reality, there was no need for him to do so. The people here don't know what skill points and proficiency they have, and they are also very new to the profession of summoning swordsmen. They don't have a mindset, so it doesn't work much.
So specialize in one? Fill up your talent in the shortest amount of time? After all, talents and skills are different, as long as the talent points of each layer are enough, you can open the next layer. In this way, even if Rhodes does not advance, he can still get a full talent route.
But in this way, it is inevitably a bit too wasteful.
Swordsmanship skills are not even considered, and before there are coherent swordsmanship skills unlocked, Rhodes will not stupidly fill up those skills, so that when the swordsmanship he really needs is unlocked, there will be no points available.
The first thing to consider when using skill points is what they need to be used for. And now, Rhodes's most urgent thing is to upgrade, after all, there is not much time left for him, he needs to be able to exert the most powerful power in the shortest possible time, and the most efficient way to gain experience.
Thinking of this, Rhodes' eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered that a long time ago, he saw a player on the forum asking him for a post about summoning swordsman talent points. The player had a good idea, but due to limitations, he didn't succeed, and Rhodes didn't advise him to do so. But now that I think about it, it seems like a lot of fun?
"If you can combine quality and quantity............"
Thinking of this, Rod leaned back in his chair, and then, he closed his eyes, and soon, the talent tree system appeared in front of Rod again, this time, Rod moved his gaze to the talent system next to the "Summoning Master——— "Soul Messenger".
Soul Messenger Level 1:
Spiritual armor (when the summon appears, it gains the Soul armor protection bonus, and increases the defense attribute by 10%, 20%, and 30%)
Trinity (When the Dominator summons more than one summoning spirit, the summon stat is increased by 5%, 10%)
Shadow Companion (can attach summoned elves to the Dominator, gaining the same attack attribute as the elf increased by 30%, 60%, and 90%)
It's decided!
Thinking of this, Rod took a deep breath, he opened his eyes, took a closer look at the information in front of him again, and then calmed down, and then, he stretched out his hand and clicked on the talent tree floating in front of him, in the void. Soon, a system prompt appeared in front of Rod. …,
[Consumes 1 skill point, designated talent ———Soul Bringer Awakens]
With this prompt, Rod felt his body throb violently inside, and then, a scorching force flowed all over his body.
[Soul Bringer's first tier talent unlocked: Spiritual Armor LV1 (When the summon appears, it will gain the Soul Armor Guardian bonus, and the defense attribute will be increased by 10%)]
[Gain Passive Skill: Psionic Armor LV1]
[Consumes 1 skill point to increase Spiritual Armor LV2 (When the summon appears, it gains the Soul Armor Guardian bonus and increases the defense attribute by 20%)]
[Consumes 1 skill point to increase Spiritual Armor LV3 (When the summon appears, it gains the Soul Armor Guardian bonus and increases the defense attribute by 30%)]
Very good!
Looking at this, Rod clenched his fist hard, but this was not the end.
[Consume 1 skill point, the first level of the Soul Messenger's talent is unlocked: Shadow Companion LV1 (You can attach the summoned elf attribute to the Dominator, and get the same attack attribute as the elf by 30%, 60%, 90%)
[Gain Resident Skill: Shadow Companion LV1]
[Consumes 1 skill point to increase Shadow Companion LV2 (Attaches summoned elf attributes to the Dominator, and gains 60% synchronization of attack attributes equal to those of elves)]
[Consumes 1 Skill Point to increase Shadow Companion LV3 (Attaches summoned Elf attributes to the Dominator, gaining 90% synchronization of the same attack attributes as Elves)]
It was only then that Rod let out a sigh of relief, and he stood up, looked at his right hand, and then, his mind flashed. Soon, a pitch-black card appeared in front of Rod, and then, Rod reached out and held the card in his hand hard.
"Whew!!"
With a soft sound, the broken card in Rod's palm immediately formed a dark mist that spread along Rod's arm, and in the blink of an eye, it completely wrapped Rod's body. Then, Rod opened his eyes, and in his eyes, there was a strange red glow at the moment.
The right hand, which was originally clenched, suddenly waved to the side, and a violent whirlwind suddenly roared over, and then, a huge pitch-black knight's spear appeared in Rod's right hand, and on his left hand, there was an extra pitch-black shield. At the same time, at the edge of Rod's body, a faint blue, translucent barrier could be seen emerging, like armor, covering Rod's body.
[Activation Skill: Spiritual Armor LV3]
[Activation Skill: Shadow Companion LV3]
[Elemental Ward, Heavy Armor Trait]
Get!
Looking at the system prompt that appeared in front of him, Rod clenched his fist and waved.
Now he has finally reached a higher level.
And just then, footsteps came from outside the door.
Hearing the footsteps, Rod's face moved, and the black mist and spiritual armor that had originally wrapped his body immediately dispersed, and then, Rhodes sat back in his chair, and before he could clean up the papers scattered all over the ground, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
The door slowly opened, and Old Walker walked in, and when he saw the room as if it had been hit by a typhoon, Old Walker was stunned, but he didn't say anything more, but walked to Rod's side and nodded to him.
"Boy, what you want me to investigate, there are already results.". )
