Inside the ruined tent.

The sorceress Andrina, who was resting on a soft blanket, slowly opened her sullen eyes and surveyed the surroundings.

When she noticed the darkness in front of her eyes, a touch of nervousness subconsciously appeared on her pretty face, which was covered by messy hair, and a faint golden light suddenly flashed in her eyes.

Immediately, under the blessing of the pale golden light, all the darkness around her that made her feel suppressed was dispelled for her, and what appeared in front of her eyes became a monotonous black and white picture.

Although darkvision gave her the ability to see in the dark, she still didn't like the monotonous look.

Because black represents deep, oppressive, solemn and ruthless, while white in her hometown symbolizes death and ominous meaning.

Even though the combination of these two colors can become a classic color, she still has an instinctive repulsion in her heart.

So she immediately moved her pale golden eyes to an ever-bright candle engraved with magic runes on the ground.

Everbright candles are lighting objects that emit a magical light that will never go out without the owner's permission.

Obviously, the ever-bright candle was not as bright as its name, nor did it dispel all the darkness. The sorceress who found the reason frowned involuntarily.

"Om!"

Along with Andrina's fair and jade-like fingertips flashing a faint magical aura, the Everbright Candle once again showed a soft magical light, and at the same time dispelled the darkness for this small tent.

In Andrina's eyes, a comfortable scene appeared again that made her feel at ease.

Then she subconsciously glanced at the exquisite incense burner that had not yet burned out. After guessing the approximate time, she finally secretly shifted her slightly uneasy gaze to another figure sitting not far from her in the tent.

I saw her caressing the few strands of hair in front of her forehead that blocked her vision, leaning her hand on her forehead, half supporting the delicate body lying on the blanket, looking at the figure with her back facing her, and gradually, the corners of her mouth appeared involuntarily. A faint smile.

"This is called 'reliance'." The sorceress stared at the back of the half-elf ranger in a daze.

Although nothing happened when the two huddled together in a small tent, for her, this night was the most peaceful night she had slept in since she fell into this world.

Because there is a person worthy of her trust who has been guarding her side, and she doesn't have to worry about anything, just rest beautifully.

"if……"

Thinking about it, the sorceress's cheeks gradually rippled a bright crimson, and it spread to the ears at a very fast speed. Under the illumination of the magic halo, the whole person looked charming.

Feeling the hot face, Andrina secretly glanced at the other party and found that the ranger left her with a back figure, she was relieved and a little lost, and then she shook her long hair loose. Head, dispel the few fantasies that flashed in my mind.

Then he got up from the soft blanket and put the coat over his body back on his delicate body.

With her coat on, Andrina took out a small round mirror, and while looking at her delicate face, she stretched out her hand to straighten her long black hair.

After finishing everything, the sorceress smiled while looking at the back of the ranger, took out a beautiful container containing the snow water of Mount Huaernas from the dimension bag, and started to get busy.

Thorne, who was sitting cross-legged on the other side, opened his eyes from contemplation and took a deep breath involuntarily.

Immediately, a refreshing aroma lingering in the tent made his slightly dull head sober again.

Facts have proved that when wizards meditate or memorize spells, lighting aids do have a clear-headed effect.

At least he stayed in Andrina's tent and enjoyed the refreshing scent for a night, which really accelerated his progress in learning the Mo Feng style moves a lot.

"It seems that in the future, you will also need to use a supplement like a refreshing incense to learn moves." Thorne muttered to himself.

Feeling the scent that lingered on his nostrils and was very similar to Andrina's body scent, as if recalling some good memories, Thorne's frowning brows slowly relaxed.

Then he laughed again, and locked his eyes on his own attribute column:

EXP: 200370

Practice point: 21530

Immediately after the thought, he took the lead in assigning experience to the professional level of the ranger.

"Ding!"

Consume 85400 experience points to upgrade the ranger level!

Ranger level has been raised to level 8!

Gain 6 skill points and increase your health by 10!

Get the class feature: Fast Track!

Gain 1 free attribute point.

...

Seeing that the ranger level has been improved, and the little experience left, Thorne once again set his sights on the level of the swordsman.

Kendo: Level 7 (085400)

"Ding!"

Consume 85,400 experience points to upgrade the level of Kendo!

The Kendo level has been raised to level 8!

Gain 6 skill points and increase your health by 10!

Gain the class feature: School Focus (Mastery)!

Gain 1 free attribute point.

Sword Intent comprehension progress is increased by 1%, and 20,000 cultivation points are obtained!

...

"Finally obtained the "Fast Tracking" feature. With this professional feature, the efficiency of tracking prey in the future will be improved to the extreme. "Thorn looked at the Ranger class feature he had just acquired, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although the Ranger is an all-around and mediocre profession, it is not as good as a Warrior professional in melee combat, as a rogue in sneak attack, and even worse as a Druid in divine arts, but this profession also has its own characteristics.

That is the unique ability to track prey and scout.

The "tracking" feature, as a special ability that comes with the inaugural ranger, enables the rangers to trace the traces of creatures or characters in most terrains.

However, whenever the ranger is tracking the prey, because the footprints or traces of the prey are covered and scattered, it is easy to increase the difficulty of their tracking, and eventually the speed of tracking is greatly reduced, and it is common to lose the prey.

The "fast tracking" feature greatly improves the speed and efficiency of the rangers tracking the prey, so that when they track the prey, they no longer hunched over the traces to carefully search step by step, but can use normal walking speed.

With Thorne's current proficient "tracking" feature, when he masters the "fast tracking" ability, whether it is wilderness, woodland, bare rocky land, or snow-covered ground and other complex terrains, it is difficult to find it. The prey was able to escape his pursuit.

As for Kendo's "School Focus" class feature has been raised to the master level, in addition to allowing him to increase the power of his selected school-specific moves again, his other class skill "Insight Strike" has also been strengthened.

"Insight Strike" is similar to Juggernaut's "Insight Weakness". The function of this skill is that when he uses a genre-specific strike, he can activate the "Insight Strike" ability at the same time.

In this way, when attacking the enemy, it will capture the opponent's weakness due to the level of its own perception attributes, thereby causing more damage, especially in the face of the static protective force field of the casters, the effect is the most significant.

After all, when fighting with melee professionals, the enemy's attack and body are always changing, and it is difficult to accurately find the loopholes in the defense and hit the key points in an instant.

Then Thorne glanced at the 2 free attribute points he had just obtained by leveling up, and after a little thought, he allocated all of them to the strength attribute.

In this way, his strength attribute has reached 19 points without the blessing of any equipment. If he wants to break through the strength attribute to the extraordinary attribute, he only needs to raise the two occupation levels to level 10, and it can be achieved.

With the increase of 2 points of strength attribute, Thorne intuitively felt that the muscle tissue of the whole body was undergoing transformations that were difficult to describe in words, but it made him clearly feel that the whole body was full of strength.

The only thing he regrets is that the belt of ogre power bought from the plane merchant in Twilight Town is useless to him.

After all, this magic equipment can only increase a person's strength to 18 points at most, and he has now reached 19 points, and he can't get any bonus at all.

Immediately afterwards, Thorne directly allocated all the 12 skill points obtained from the upgrade to the "Focus" skill.

Now that his "Concentration" skill has reached 48, the three defensive counter-attacks of the Steel Soul faction will make it difficult for him to save failed Will, Fortitude, and Reflex checks.

And in the Steel Soul faction, the strike skills that rely on the "focus" skill will also become the most deadly in his hands.

In the end, Thorne set his sights on the practice point with only more than 40,000 points.

After pondering for a while, he used 20,000 practice points to choose to activate the fourth-level move of the Shadow Hand School, and then learned a strike technique called "Death Hand".

[Death hand (strike technique); use the power of shadow to condense a ghost palm that can be freely controlled. When the ghost's palm touches the attacking target, the power of shadow spreads rapidly to the target's body, and the target must make a Fortitude saving throw. If the check fails, the cold shadow energy will paralyze it, rendering the whole body immobilized. 】

The so-called saving throw, calculated according to his Wisdom modifier, as long as his Constitution attribute is lower than 19 points, will be eroded by the shadow power generated by this hand of death.

This skill is actually similar to his "Shadow Strand", but the palm condensed by "Death Hand" is more convenient to control by the rope condensed by "Shadow Strand".

Why do many people say that the caster profession is almost the strongest group in the entire continent? In addition to their large-scale destructive spells, what is really scary is their endless control spells.

From the charm of human beings, panic, and colorful spray in the first ring, the human immobilization, spider web, blindness and deafness in the second ring...even to the time stop of the ninth ring, a lot of control spells, as long as other occupations are blocked If they successfully hit one, they will be greeted with all kinds of deadly damaging spells.

So, for Thorne, how important it is to have control skills, why do you have to fight dozens of rounds with enemies who can be instantly solved with control skills, this is the pain of almost all melee professionals.

When everything was assigned, Thorne stretched out, ready to turn to look at the sorceress who was jingling behind her but didn't know what to do.

"Awake?" Andrina noticed Thorne's gaze, paused while stirring the hand in the cup, smiled and greeted.

"Yeah." Thorne nodded, seeing the fine china and boiling water placed in front of him, got up and walked to her side, sitting next to her on the soft blanket.

"I feel a change in your temperament." Seeing Thorne's calm expression, Andrina froze for a moment and guessed, "You upgraded?"

"Just lifted." Thorne replied casually, and kept his curious eyes on the cup that was slowly stirring in her hand, which contained a dark blue liquid and smelled good.

"Wait a minute, it'll be all right." Feeling Thorne's gaze, Andrina gave him a smile and said softly, "You know, I can't cook, so breakfast can only be simpler, if I have time I will study."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, just take it as you like." Thorne warmed his heart, reached out and stroked Anderina's soft hair, and said not very concerned.

"It can't be casual! I think it is necessary to treat life with a sense of ritual. Only in this way can we make both parties feel warm to each other and gain a long-lost sense of belonging in life." Andrina said with a smile, But he looked very serious:

"The so-called sense of ritual is to treat the seemingly ordinary little things in life with your heart, and don't let yourself be so casual that life has no color."

"...There are so many truths." Seeing Andrina seriously telling him why life needs a sense of ritual, Thorne, who didn't quite understand it, hesitated and didn't know how to answer this question, mainly because he really do not know.

Because since he was trapped in this world, he has hardly lived a complete life, and sleeping in the wind is a commonplace for him, and in addition to fighting monsters and leveling up and exercising fighting skills, everything else in his daily life is just casually handled.

"Of course, life is a big subject." Looking at Thorne, who was a little cute, Andrina chuckled:

"Do you know why many young couples divorce in our world? The main reason is that their lives lack a sense of ceremony. After marriage, there are fewer surprises, and only a dull life is left. In the end, both parties lose their sense of freshness. ."

"..."

Thorne remained silent, continuing to listen to Andrina's story.

"In our world, this is the case in just a few decades, not to mention this extraordinary world. So sometimes I wonder if the love of elves lovers can really last for a long time?" Anderina said and suddenly started Worry about the lovers of the elves.

"So most of the elves are a group of elegant races that love craftsmanship, poetry, music, art and all good things. The main reason is that life is too long and they are spared." Thorne, who finally picked up the words, directly complained. one sentence.

"That's true." Andrina nodded, then handed the cup in front of Thorne: "The coffee is ready, try it, don't drink it all in one sip like last time."

After speaking, a small piece of yellow-orange-orange bread emerged from his hand like a conjuration, and said, "This is a travel bread, a magical food researched by alchemists. A few bites can not only fill the stomach, but also provide the human body. essential nutrients."

"Have you always relied on this to satisfy your hunger?" Thorne sniffed the dark blue coffee in the cup, and then took a piece of bread that was handed over by Andrina, and couldn't help asking .

"Almost." Andrina said with a leisurely tone and a slightly helpless expression: "After all, the food in this world is actually like that, and I'm not used to it."

"..."

To this question, Thorne tasted the coffee in the cup and remained silent.

"How about it, it tastes good." Anderina held her chin, her beautiful eyes flashing with inexplicable meaning: "Although I don't know how to cook, I am still very skilled at making coffee."

"It tastes very good." Thorne praised with a smile, and ate all the buns in his hand in one bite. After a period of contact with the other party, he understood a truth, that is, no matter what woman it is, you only need to praise She is always right.

"It's good, I didn't put any sugar, it tasted very bitter." Andrina looked at Thorne who was pretending to be enjoying, and rolled his eyes at him.

"As long as it's made by you, no matter how bitter it is, it's still sweet to drink." Thorne, whose emotional intelligence suddenly improved, praised her again, and then stopped pretending and drank the bitter coffee in the cup.

"How did you learn to be sloppy recently?" Seeing Thorne put the cup on the ground, Andrina leaned her whole body in his arms and muttered with a shy expression.

The nephrite jade was warm in his arms, and Thorne took advantage of the situation to surround her slender waist and looked down at Andrina, who was in his arms.

So he chuckled, feeling the trembling body of the other party, Thorne lowered his head and pressed her soft and moist lips directly.
