Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 168: magic equipment

Misty morning.

The waterfall is in the upper town of the town, and the top of the tower is filled with mist.

"Ding!"

Consume 30,000 experience points!

Sword Intent Comprehension Progress: +1%!

Get practice points: 15000 points!

...

"As expected." Thorne, who was covered in hoarfrost, sat cross-legged on the cloud-shrouded top of the tower, opened his eyes slowly, looked at the changes in his attribute interface, and whispered to himself.

"I didn't understand until now that when I left Winter City, the old man with nine swords gave me such a precious gift." Watching the progress of Jianyi's comprehension, Thorne couldn't help but sigh.

Sword Intent Comprehension Progress: 6%.

At the beginning, after he succeeded in part-time as a Kendaoist profession, he continuously raised the level of this profession to level 4, which directly increased the comprehension progress of Sword Intent by 4%, and he also obtained 40,000 practice points.

After that, he raised the professional level of Kendo by one level again, and gained another 1% comprehension progress and 10,000 practice points.

Originally, Thorne thought that the only way to improve the comprehension progress of Sword Intent to gain practice points was to increase the professional level of the Swordsman.

Unexpectedly, his unintentional simple attempt this morning turned out to be a success.

Let him understand that the level of experience gained can improve the progress of Sword Intent, and at the same time let him know that the cultivation points obtained by the improvement of Sword Intent comprehension progress are not static.

The training point gained from 0% to 5% is 10,000 points.

Then, the cultivation point to increase from 5% to 10% should be 15,000 points. As for the future, you need to try it before you know it, but it will definitely increase gradually.

The role of experience points for players is unquestionable. Having a huge amount of experience points is the basis for each player to develop to a high level.

If the experience value is the outline of the human body, then the practice point is the inner core of the human body. The experience value determines how tall the human body can grow, and the practice point determines whether it is an inferior building. The real powerhouse, the two are almost indispensable.

Therefore, the role of practice points for players is also very important, because it is a shortcut for all players to quickly improve their expertise and learn various skills, including wizards' spell learning and Thorne's nine sword moves.

There are two ways for a Witcher player to quickly master spells:

One is to learn the knowledge of the spells you want to master, then build the spell model, spend a lot of energy and time to build the spell model successfully, and finally master the use of the spell.

The second is relatively simple. As long as you have complete knowledge about recording this spell and enough practice points, you can immediately and permanently master the use of this spell.

Although the second type seems to be convenient and fast, but only if you have enough training points, which is why every time Thorne kills a monster, the experience points obtained are nearly ten times different from the training points.

For example, killing a Gnoll with a challenge level of 3 can get 150 experience points, so the maximum training points obtained are only 15 points.

From this, you can see the difficulty of obtaining practice points.

The sword intent that the Nine Swords Elder gave Thorne was a shortcut for him to gain a lot of practice points.

Although the cultivation point can be obtained by constantly honing one's own skills or mastering knowledge in addition to killing monsters, but compared with the speed obtained by his sword intent, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

Originally, after becoming a kendo master, Thorne sometimes felt distressed about the lack of training points, worried that he would not be able to master more Nine Swords moves based on his own training progress.

Now, with a method that can use the experience value conversion, the last trouble in his heart has been eliminated.

Then Thorne looked at the experience points and practice points of the attribute panel:

XP: 73241

Practice point: 37102

The data he has accumulated is all the experience points and training points he has gained since he left Twilight Town, fought with the lizardmen, fought with ogre wizards and gnoll leaders in the valley, and explored the tower yesterday. .

Thorne pondered for a while, and after wandering for a while between the main professional ranger and the part-time kendoist, he finally chose to upgrade the ranger's level to level 7 first.

"Ding!"

Consume 58500 experience points to upgrade the ranger level!

Ranger level has been raised to level 5!

Gain 5 skill points and increase your health by 9!

Gained the class feature: Through the Forest!

1st ring magic position +1, 2nd ring magic position +1.

...

[Walking through the forest (special ability): As a ranger who relies on nature, you have adapted to natural life and have been recognized by nature. The natural aura around you enables you to walk through any kind of shrubs at a normal speed. clump without taking any damage. 】

Note: Thorny plants, thorns, or dense jungles caused by the caster's magic will still hinder your movement.

This special ability is why Thorne chose to upgrade the Ranger class first.

As a ranger who walks in the wilderness all the year round, the most troublesome thing for him are those dense jungles and bushes.

It was only a trivial matter that the sharp branches cut his clothes, and the most important effect was that it seriously hindered his movement speed, especially when escaping and tracking prey.

And after he has the special ability brought by his own profession, "Wooden Piercing", even walking among thorny plants full of thorns will not affect his movement speed or receive any damage at all.

A ranger with this special ability can make him exude a very special atmosphere of closeness to nature when he travels through the jungle, which indirectly proves that the plants in nature are alive, and they feel this closeness. After the breath, they will all avoid them.

Then Thorne looked at the practice point at 37102 and made the choice he had planned without hesitation.

He first used 15,000 training points to activate the third-level moves of the Shadow Hand School, and then directly in the third-level moves of the Shadow Hand School, he spent another 15,000 training points to master a strike technique called "Shadow Chain".

"Shadow Twist" is to use the energy of the shadow to create a shadow rope about 20 meters long to attack the opponent. The main function of this rope is to entangle the enemy and prevent it from moving.

This highly condensed shadow energy also has a paralyzing effect. Any creature that touches the shadow rope must make a Fortitude save. If the decision fails, it will be paralyzed for a few seconds.

The effect is somewhat similar to the wizard's four-ring spell "Shadow Tentacle", which belongs to Thorne's second real control skill in addition to the ranger's one-ring magic "entanglement", which is why Thorne does not hesitate to use it. The main reason for choosing this skill.

Then, Thorne looked at the remaining 7102 training points, and after thinking about it, he spent it on the first-level strike skill "Nightmare Sword · Sapphire" of the Steel Soul School.

This move belongs to the most basic and important strike skill of the Steel Soul faction.

Its role is mainly reflected in the battle against highly skilled enemies, by reading the opponent's attack movements, to seize the opportunity to attack the enemy's defense gap.

That is to say, even the strongest defense, in the face of the keen insight of the Steel Soul Sect, there are still gaps that can be drilled.

The reason why Thorne did not take the Steel Soul faction's moves as the main promotion target, but mainly focused on the Desert Wind faction, the main reason for this was that the enemies he faced were different.

The moves of the Desert Wind faction mainly focus on the area of ​​fire damage, especially when dealing with humanoid creatures in the wilderness, this effect is most obvious.

The Steel Soul faction's moves are reflected in individual duels with skilled characters.

If he chooses to focus on the Steel Soul faction, then in the face of a large number of humanoids, even if the individual strength is strong, the slaughter will be more laborious.

After all the training points were allocated, Thorne allocated all the 5 skill points obtained from the upgrade to the "focus" skill, making it directly increased to 24 points.

The level of the "Concentration" skill affects the success rate of using "Perfect Spirit" to resist when facing various control spells that require determination of will. Naturally, he does not dare to be careless about this.

After everything was adjusted, Thorne's thoughts moved, and under the activation of the "Desert Fire" specialty, the whole body was immediately enveloped by a light orange fire, and the hoarfrost covering the whole body was also evaporated into mist by the high temperature at a speed visible to the naked eye, and dissipated in the air. middle.

Then Thorne sat casually on the top of the tower, admiring the hazy scenery below. It was the first time for him to sit at such a high place to watch the beautiful scenery. Naturally, he wanted to feast his eyes.

It went on like this for a moment, before the sound of light footsteps from far and near entered Thorne's ears, interrupting his musings.

"I knew you would be here. How about the view from the top of the tower?" Andrina looked at Thorne who was sitting on the top of the tower enjoying the scenery, chuckled softly, and sat next to him and asked casually.

"Climbing high and looking far into the distance is indeed a different taste." Noticing Andrina beside him, Thorne sighed involuntarily.

"Part of the loot that was looted belongs to you, and now it's returned to its original owner, let's see if you're satisfied." Andrina pulled Thorne's right hand, took out a dimension bag and put it in his palm, and said with a smile.

Because he didn't know much about the mysterious knowledge of magic, all the spoils left by the wizard in the tower were handed over to Andrina for disposal.

Looking at the dimension bag in the palm of his hand, Thorne naturally put it away unceremoniously, and then began to check the contents with curiosity.

It turned out to be a ring and a ring.

Noticing the two magic equipment in the dimension bag, Thorne's eyelids jumped, and there was a hint of joy in his expression.

The Force Field Protection Ring takes the form of a platinum ring engraved with a small shield.

The Ring of Insight is a dark cyan ring with a white pearl inlaid on the ring, which looks like an eye on a finger.

Force Field Protection Ring

Type: jewelry

Quality: blue · extraordinary

Medium Protection Aura: Mage Armor (33 times per day), Deflection Field (11 times per day)

Ring of the Insight

Type: jewelry

Quality: blue · extraordinary

Medium Prophecy: Detect Traps (33 times per day), See Invisibility (11 times per day)

...

"10,000 gold coins, why are there so many?" Then, Thorne noticed a lot of gold coins in the dimension bag, looked up at Andrina, who was looking at him with a smile, slightly surprised.

10,000 gold coins is indeed a lot of money for him.

With this money, at least the cost of going to the Merikai Temple for the natural transformation ceremony is enough. At that time, he will have the ability to cast the second-ring magic, which will greatly improve his strength.

"What a fuss, you can't imagine the expenses and expenses of a wizard. In fact, for a high-level wizard, 10,000 gold coins are not enough for them to learn a five-level spell. This dead wizard is already very poor."

Seeing Thorne's changing expression, Andrina explained to him with a smile.

"That's true." Thorne brought the ring and the ring to his fingers, showing a sudden color.

Andrina smiled when she saw Thorne's satisfied look, suddenly thought of something, and said in a melancholy tone:

"The banshee who was transformed into a real body was the high elf girl mentioned in the wizard's last words: Kefla Jolenov, although she lost all memory of her life, but when she saw the dragonborn lord's Tears flowed uncontrollably when the corpse was found."

"Actually, it's better if you lose your memory, at least you don't have to remember in pain all day long." Thorne pondered for a moment, looked at the upper city covered by all kinds of miscellaneous trees, and sighed:

"When I go down, I will bury the corpses of the wizard and the dragonborn lord. No matter whether the wizard has any crimes during his lifetime, in the end, he is just a miserable person with a twisted mind."

Andrina nodded in agreement with Thorne's opinion, and then stared at him with her eyes like water. After hesitating for a while, she gently hugged Thorne's arm and leaned her body on his shoulder. Admire the breathtaking scenery.
