n” Shadowstrike ” was an ingenious attack. It could use the enemy’s shadow to launch a short displacement and then instantly cause extremely great damage.
nMatthew made a straw doll for Soldier to demonstrate on the spot.
nThe result was quite shocking.
n“If Soldier’s Shadowstrike hits you, not to mention fragile skin, even a close-combat unit around tier 3 and below medium armor will have to shed a layer of skin!”
nWhat was worse was that…
nShadowstrike was only the beginning of a series of combos for Rogues after they got close.
nTake Soldier’s sword dancer as an example.
nAfter Shadowstrike, it could immediately follow up with Burial Dance, a killer move with extremely high damage.
nIt was very difficult for low-level adventurers to resist such sudden and continuous explosive attacks.
n“As expected, when fighting with rogues, not letting them get close is the first rule.”
nMatthew didn’t think that Garcia’s armor could last long when he was entangled by an elite Rogue. In his opinion, magic armor was the last layer. When you were forced to reveal your last layer, your life was not far from being controlled by others.
nOf course, this did not mean that the last layer was not important.
n..
nThe other blue keyword was ” poison.”
nThis was a keyword that included a series of minor skills such as identifying poison, extracting poison, making poison bottles, and smearing weapons with poison.
nDue to his limited energy.
nMatthew knew very little about herbal medicine and pharmacology.
nNow that Soldier had gained such an ability, he could be considered to have made up for his shortcomings in this aspect.
n“In the future, I can ask Soldier to collect poison and make more poison bottles. He can use them himself, and my crossbow will be more lethal.”
n..
nIf Shadowstrike and Poison were still within Matthew’s knowledge.
nThe last two white keywords were hard to understand.
nWhat the hell was ” Farming Techniques “?
nCould it be that Soldier was actually a farmer when he was alive?
nNurture the Children?
nDid he raise small animals like pigs before he died?
nOr was he a man with rich experience in raising human babies?
nMatthew looked at Soldier in confusion.
nThe latter still responded to Matthew’s gaze with a blank expression.
nAfter a while.
nSoldier looked away.
nHe found a spot in the corner of the bed and quietly sat down.
nMatthew felt a little helpless.
n“I didn’t expect that the gray keyword that had just appeared would take effect so soon!”
n..
nSlacking Off (Gray): Your skeleton has learned to slack off in non-combat mode.
n..
nFortunately, it was limited to non-combat states!
nIf it would slack off in battle, then Matthew would have to consider whether he should give him all the subsequent enhancements.
nHis gaze went past the gray keywords.
nThe good news was…
nThe last two keywords were both purple.
nThe bad news was…
nThese two keywords looked… a bit strange.
n..
nShadow Dance Steps (Purple): Your skeleton can quickly and violently twist its crotch to please and charm the target.
nAt the same time, when it was dancing, a part of its dance steps could cross the shadow realm, thus achieving the goal of speeding up the approach to the target.
n..
nBondage Master (Purple): Your Skeleton is good at using rope skills (including binding), even when not in battle.
nRequirements: To prepare for this skill, please prepare at least a strong enough magic rope for him.
n..
n“So, what exactly does the Sword Dancer profession is about anyway?”
nMatthew was deeply puzzled.
nHe looked at Soldier again.
nThe latter hesitated for a moment.
nThen, he got up and twisted his hips at Matthew.
nThe air fluctuated slightly.
nMatthew’s eyelids twitched.
nAt that moment.
nHe felt dizzy!
n“Stop!”
nHe pressed down on Soldier’s restless crotch.
n” I understand now. The dance steps are indeed powerful. This should be infused with some kind of ritual spell.”
nMatthew rubbed his temples in an attempt to wake himself up.
nIf this continued…
nHe would probably feel that the skeleton in front of him had become more beautiful.
nThis was the effect of Charm.
nHis willpower wasn’t low, and he was Soldier’s master, but he was still affected.
nIf it was someone else…
nMatthew suddenly felt a little more expectant!
nHe sized up Soldier.
nHe realized that this skeleton was very different from the others.
nHis bones were full and strong, and there were a lot of silver light spots inside. Compared to other skeletons, he was cleaner-so clean that he was almost unstained!
nHis entire body was covered with bones that were as white as jade and had silver edges.
n“Have you bathed yourself?”
nMatthew asked thoughtfully.
nSoldier was stunned.
nTen seconds later.
nHe nodded uncertainly.
nMatthew looked helpless.
nSoldier was good at everything. He had great potential, but his Intelligence was too low.
nThis was also a common problem with undead creatures.
nEven the powerful Bone Dragon Phily only had 4 points of Intelligence. Of course, Intelligence did not completely represent IQ, but those with low Intelligence usually did not have much of an IQ.
nSoldier’s current mental state was equivalent to a five-year-old child.
nIt was fine with Matthew’s command.
nHowever, if Matthew let Soldier go alone, it would be 100% likely to cause trouble!
n“It seems that Peggy is indeed extraordinary. As expected of someone I risked my life to find in the Land of Gold.”
nMatthew’s eyes were filled with nostalgia.
nHowever, very quickly.
nHis memories were interrupted.
n“Saber, saber, I…Me, saber!”
nA thought came intermittently from Soldier’s soul fire through the undying contract.
nMatthew nodded thoughtfully.
n“You want a good saber? A short one?”
nTen seconds later.
n“Two, two…Two.” Soldier replied.
n“I understand. I will forge two suitable daggers for you as soon as possible.”
n“Thank you. Master.”
nThis time, the response only took three seconds.
n..
nDue to your promise, Soldier (Skeleton)’s loyalty to you has increased to 99!」
n..
n“Those you nurture will be more loyal to you, after all!”
nMatthew sighed.
n..
nAfter having a simple dinner in the small wooden house, it was already dark outside.
nMatthew pushed the door open and walked out.
nA faint white light flickered in the oak forest not far away.
nThe oak fairies that had been hiding in the dark during the day came out in full force.
nExcept for Princess Lulu, almost all the fairies were dancing around Ella the Owl.
nElla was standing on the crown of an oak tree.
nHer eyes were tightly shut as she muttered something.
nFaint divine spells spread out like ripples.
nMatthew walked in the forest.
nThe feeling of being watched by pairs of kind eyes came back.
nShe was enlightening the oak forest.
nAs a Nature Soul favored by the Goddess of Moonlight, Ella’s attainments in the Nature Domain were much higher than Lulu’s.
nThrough the ritual of ‘enlightenment’.
nShe could inject more wisdom and vitality into the oak forest.
nThe oak trees became healthier as a result.
nAnd in the long process of growth.
nIf there were someone to enlighten them, then there would be a higher probability of a tree spirit being born among them, which was what people often called the tree guardian.
nIf they were lucky, they might even give birth to one or two Tree Shepherds.
nThis was extremely beneficial to the development of the forest.
nHowever, it also meant a great consumption for the creature casting the enlightenment.
nMatthew’s actions had been unpredictable.
nElla was afraid that he wouldn’t go to get rid of the zerg tonight, so she fulfilled the promise Matthew had asked her to fulfill in advance.
n..
nHint: Your nature partner, Ella, has completed an enlightenment ritual for your oak forest.
nYour Domain: Oak Tree has received a slight upgrade!」
n..
n‘There was such a benefit?’
nMatthew was overjoyed.
nEnlightenment could not only benefit the oak trees but also strengthen his domain power?!
n“Looks like I have to think of a way to get Ella to come over more after the three years are up.”
nMatthew thought.
nThe only uncertain factor was actually Lulu.
nAs a Nature Soul, Lulu had obviously regarded the oak forest as her habitat.
nShe could tolerate Ella coming here to cast enlightenment in the short term.
nBut as time passed.
nShe definitely couldn’t take it.
nBecause this would be stepping on her territory.
n“Lulu should have a similar ability in the future, right?” In his thoughts.
nThe white light in the forest had already faded.
nThe oak fairies vanished.
nElla dragged her exhausted body to Matthew.
n“Hey Matthew, I did pretty well, didn’t I?” Ella asked with her head down.
nMatthew nodded.
nHe could feel the joy of the oak trees.
nElla was obviously not slacking.
nMatthew’s attitude naturally softened. “You’ve worked hard, Ella. You did well.”
nElla said happily, “Then can we remove the Zergs now?”
nMatthew shook his head.
nUnder Ella’s puzzled gaze, he asked, “Can you germinate?”
nElla seemed to have guessed something, so she nodded hard.”I know, I know, Matthew. That is the basic skill of Nature’s Soul! I know what you want me to do. You said that your job is to plant trees, and I see you carrying saplings around every day. So, have you used up all the saplings?”
nMatthew said approvingly, ” You’re very smart. I don’t have enough saplings, but I have a small greenhouse where I’m cultivating some oak seeds. However, if I follow the normal process, their germinating speed will be too slow, so I want you to help me germinate them. You don’t have to ripen them all. Just a small portion will do. We can do it in batches. As for the specifics, it depends on your physical condition.
n“After all, you have just completed a round of enlightenment. You must have consumed a lot of energy.”
nElla said impatiently, ” Take me there. We don’t need to do it in batches. I’ll germinate all of them tonight!”
nMatthew hesitated. “Is this okay? Your body…”
nElla was full of confidence.
n“Don’t underestimate the perseverance of the Nature Soul, Matthew!
n“Isn’t it just a small greenhouse? I can still withstand it!”
n..
nTwenty minutes later.
nAt Matthew’s house in Rolling Stone Town.
nIn the greenhouse on the east side.
nPeggy looked at the shocked Ella with interest.
n“Is… is this the little greenhouse you were talking about?”
nMiss Owl said in a trembling voice.
nShe looked at the endless mini greenhouses in front of her.
nHer vision turned black, and she almost fainted!
n” The previous owner of this house left behind a ritual field with folded space here, but my magic power is insufficient, so I can only activate a small portion. Currently, it only has an area of less than 15 acres.”
nMatthew said pleasantly, “Do you need me to introduce you to your future working environment in detail?”
n..
