Chapter 196: Fate and the Mystery of the System

The night passed quickly, and at dawn Apodell was the first to open his eyes. He suddenly found that the muscles in his arms were thicker, and the muscles in his chest, abs, and thighs had become extremely developed.

"Oh my God! I can't be dreaming now, am I? He pinched himself hard. Damn it! It hurts. It's not a dream, it's true! Ammon, Jasila, and Henry wake up and see what the hell is going on with me. ”

"Bastard! Can't you just be quiet? It's not dawn yet, it's a noisy dream here, be careful I kick your ass. Sleepy-eyed, Amon got up and gave Apodell a kick.

Since the voices of the two people were a bit loud, soon everyone opened their eyes. Apodell was shirtless, and his steel-like muscles quickly caught all eyes. Jasila walked over with a serious expression and poked her finger at it, and found that it was incredibly hard, almost comparable to ordinary rock.

She looked up into Apodell's eyes and asked, "Are you feeling sick right now, or have any irrepressible urges?" ”

"There was nothing uncomfortable, and I felt twice as strong. Speaking of impulses, I suddenly feel so hungry, is there anything I can eat? ”

Henry sighed to himself, divinity is a terrible thing. In just a few days, he turned a fledgling rookie into a fighter with great potential. At this rate, it may not take more than two years for Apodell to advance to the Legendary. You don't need to look at it to know that these muscles must contain a lot of energy. In the future, you can rest assured that he will be able to charge into battle, because it is impossible for ordinary weapons to cause fatal injuries.

It didn't take long. A large pot of steaming cereal porridge is ready. The hungry Apodell drank most of the pot alone. Then he patted his belly with satisfaction and began to put on his armor again.

Jasila came to Henry and whispered, "Do you know something?" I don't see you have any surprised expression just now. ”

"I think the bloodlines of Apodell. I'm afraid it's no secret for a long time. As a son of a god, isn't it normal for him to awaken some supernatural abilities? As he spoke, Henry pulled out a copy of "The History of the Three Dead Gods." Arlando the Wise's prophecy is becoming a reality. Baal's throne has been empty for too long, and it won't be long before the children who remain in the mortal world will start killing each other, and the best of them will inherit the throne of the King of Murder. ”

Jasila was taken aback by what she had just said. She looked around and was relieved that no one was paying attention. "Now that you know the whole thing, why do you want to get involved? Say, what is the ulterior motive? ”

Henry did not answer this question directly. He gestured to Apodell, who was joking with a few of his teammates. "Don't you think he's the one chosen by fate?"

Jassy opened her mouth in surprise. "You mean Apodell will become the new god of killing?! It's just a joke! I only hope that he can live in peace and not be used by those with ulterior motives. ”

"No one can stop fate from coming. It will be up to him to choose what he will do in the future. Maybe you're going to be one of the big factors in your choice, and I'm just trying to make a risky investment. With that, Henry handed the book to Jasila. Find an opportunity to give the book to Apodell, who is now qualified to learn part of the truth. ”

Jasila silently took the book and stuffed it into her backpack. She was a little overwhelmed by the content of the conversation just now, after all, there were so many things involved here. After a brief tidying up, everyone left the fortress, which had become a dead city. Following the way they came, they soon came to the vicinity of the waterfall of Cloud Peak.

The water at the top of the mountain rushed down hundreds of feet from the ground, making a deafening sound. Just as everyone was enjoying the beautiful scenery, suddenly the winter wolf, which had been white, jumped out from behind the tree and bit Apodell's leg in one bite.

"Ahh Damn brutes! I'm going to break your neck! Apodell roared angrily and grabbed the winter wolf's neck with both hands. The muscles in his body began to tense. After a minute, the cunning beast let go. It shook desperately to catch its breath, but Apodell's hands tightened like iron pincers.

The winter wolf desperately grew its mouth. When Henry saw this action, he immediately reminded loudly: "Get out of the way!" It's going to be frozen sprayed!"

Apodell's thumb suddenly strained. Knock the wolf's head to the ground. The winter wolf's breath was all sprayed on the grass, and a large area of green grass was frozen in an instant. Minsk reacted and immediately ran over to help. He waved his fist and kept beating the winter wolf's head, and after a dozen punches, the beast that didn't know whether to live or die also died.

Henry walked over and lifted his trouser leg to examine the wound, and found that the wound was not as serious as he had imagined. Only the two sharpest canine teeth were bitten deeply, and the others were basically skin wounds. He performed a healing and patted Apodell on the shoulder. "Luckily, it didn't hurt my bones at all. Looks like your muscles can be used as armor. ”

"Thank you. It seems that the grocery store owner of Nasikai is right, there really is a winter wolf here. Peel it off and bring it home for a good price. As he spoke, Apodell pulled a dagger from his waist.

With the help of Minsk, an intact winter wolf skin was stripped from head to toe. Simply wash it in the water of the waterfall, then roll it up and put it in your backpack. They decided to take a break here, and soon they lit a bonfire in the same place, and Henry and Ammon caught some fish in the waterhole at the bottom of the waterfall, and Jasila and his wife were in charge of roasting them.

Just as everyone was enjoying their free time for lunch, a beautiful woman dressed in leaves walked over. She saluted Henry and Jasila and said anxiously, "Dear Guardian of Nature, two men are about to cut down my tree. Please help me, they are not far ahead. ”

"What a bunch of bastards! I'd like to see who is here to hurt a kind and beautiful spirit of nature! Jasila was so angry that she immediately stood up.

Henry took one look at the poor dryad and stood up. "I'm with you, it's a druid's duty to protect the dryads and trees."

Led by the dryads, the group soon came to the giant oak tree. It was obvious that the two guys who wanted to cut down the tree had a problem with their intelligence, and after a brief communication, they directly attacked with their logging axes. Henry didn't even use spells, and with a wave of his staff, he smashed two mentally retarded heads.

The dryads smiled and bowed to the crowd when they saw that the logger was dead. "Thank you very much! There's a potion here, I hope it helps. With that, she put down a bottle of potion and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Today we have protected an ancient oak tree and a beautiful nature spirit. It's a good thing, I can feel the joy of this forest. Jasila closed her eyes and felt the rewards of nature. An abundance of natural energy entered her body, and soon the druid's level was raised.

Henry also received a gift from nature, and all this natural energy was automatically converted into a value by the system. When all the energy is absorbed, not only do you gain 650 points of mission experience, but you also gain about 20,000 transformation experience. He now felt as if he had a little bit of an idea of what the system called experience.

Broadly speaking, there are three types. The first is the experience gained by killing people or monsters. The system absorbs these vitality and expresses it in the form of experience. The second type is the experience gained from the mission, which can also be called the power of change or the power of influence. By intervening in the direction of the world through behavior, the more you change, the greater the reward. The same process becomes.

Just like the three missions I received before, the commission to save the Black Robe of Hyraste, the guard Sandaba, and the Winter Wolf. The impact of these quests is very large, so the rewards are also very large, each with 200,000 experience points. However, since the beginning of the story, the rewards for missions have begun to shrink significantly. This is because the degree of change is too small, and the task itself is not difficult.

The latter is the natural feedback just now. It can be said that the system absorbs and stores the purest natural energy. In the same way, you can try to absorb the elemental pool in the mage tower. If the inference is correct, it won't be long before he becomes a legendary mage.

After completing her promotion to a druid, Jasila walked up to Henry and patted him. "Hey! Nature's giving back is over. I know it's a wonderful feeling, but you've been in a daze for too long. ”

"Sorry! I just thought of something and got a little caught up. When the iron ore crisis in Nasikai is resolved, I'm afraid I'll have to leave for a few days to go to the High Fence Fort. ”

When Apodell heard that Henry was leaving, he immediately ran over and asked, "Is there anything important?" Do you need us to help? ”

Henry suppressed his excitement and shook his head with a smile. "I suddenly had a new idea, I wanted to go to the Mage Tower and do a test. Archmage Tyrantil of the High Fence was once my mentor, so it was the perfect place to go. Rest assured, it will only take a few days, and it will not take more than a week at most. You can rest in Belgost for a few days and ask about the Cold-Blooded and the Blackclaw Mercenaries. ”

Hearing that he had only been away for a few days, Apodell nodded. "Okay. It just so happens that the continuous fighting in the past few days has made everyone a little tired. When you're done dealing with this matter, take a good rest for a few days. As for investigating the robbers, we'll dig up the clues before you return. (To be continued......)
