The Divine Hunter Chapter 6: New skills and upgrades

The peaceful days passed like water. Nearly a month passed. The busy work of the butcher apprentice and the Gwent game in the tavern every night were carried out in an orderly manner. Roy gradually stood up in this familiar and unfamiliar small village. Steady footing.

A month later, he saved 60 crowns, most of which he got from the old captain Jack and the blacksmith Pusig. This money was enough to pay for the carriage fare to Vengerberg and other big cities, but the two of them were already wary of him and easily refused to play Quint with him. The windfall ended in winning.

During this period, Roy often talked about his hometown of Skellige with the village blacksmith Pusig, deliberately building a relationship, and then spent fifty crowns to purchase a dagger from him in the name of self-defense. And a pocket hand crossbow - named Gabriel after Verdon's forger, with a small gray crossbow body that can be held in one hand, and comes with twenty wooden shaft crossbow arrows.

Any local blacksmith in Aden would never sell Gabriel to a young boy, but in the simple concept of Pusig, who grew up in Skelly, in the chaotic world, boys should prepare for self-defense from an early age. arms. Children under the age of ten on the islands began to dance with swords, not to mention Roy's appetite for him.

……

Different from crossbows that can be found casually in the game, hand crossbows in the real world are extremely powerful. Although this Gabriel has an old structure, short range, and slow arrow loading, it is simple to operate and does not require much shooting skills. , even children and old people with little strength can still cause damage to elite soldiers as long as they hold it firmly and shoot accurately.

For a teenager like Roy, whose physical attributes are lower than those of adults and who has no combat skills, the hand crossbow is undoubtedly the most cost-effective choice, more suitable than melee weapons, and his 5-point perception attribute is not weaker than For adults, the field of vision is wide enough.

Roy put the dagger and this killer weapon into the space.

This storage space is extremely convenient. In addition to not being able to load living objects, there are only volume restrictions on the objects that can be loaded. Every time he just needs a thought, he can collect the items in an instant.

……

In the early morning, dewdrops covered the tangled weeds on the roadside in the village. Roy waved and said hello when he met a villager who went out to farm, but most of the villagers ignored him.

In the hearts of traditional Kaye villagers, children of farmers should inherit their father's business. While he cultivated his own crops honestly, Roy learned the techniques of slaughtering cattle and sheep from the butcher, hung out in the tavern at night, and made friends with the barbarians who immigrated from the Skellige Islands.

All kinds of behaviors combined will inevitably attract criticism and jealousy from others.

If it were the original Roy, he would probably be said to be autistic, but now he doesn't care too much.

According to his plan, after leveling up, after working as an apprentice, he would bring his hand crossbow and weapons and start exploring the wilderness outside the village, hunting some small animals, and selling his skin and flesh in exchange for some crowns.

In the remote countryside, there is no so-called hunting right.

After he levels up a few levels and has a certain ability to protect himself, and saves some money, he will find a way to take old Moore and Susie to leave Kaye and settle in Novigrad, and wait until his parents are properly settled. , he can safely pursue power and explore this fantasy world.

He has a lot of information in his mind:

The Arethusa Wizarding Academy, which specializes in training sorceresses, is located on the island of Thanede in the territory of Gos Velen. The Ban Ard Wizarding Academy, which only recruits male apprentices, is located in the Kingdom of Kaedwen. The wolf sect hunts monsters. The human secret base of Kaer Morhen is hidden in the Blue Mountains east of Kaedwen, where Mr. Vesemir lives...

These are all on the schedule and will be realized sooner or later

Today he will take a small step in his journey - he only needs to kill one more livestock to level up!

After a month of the butcher’s scolding guidance and hard work, the attributes in the template quietly changed:

Storage space: 1 cubic meter

Others: unknown

Experience value: 98/100

……

After a month of high-intensity exercise and plenty of oil and water, Roy's strength, physique, and agility have all been improved. His handsome face under the black hair is no longer pale, but has a healthy rosiness, and his body is obviously better than a She was strong a month ago, and although she still looks thin, she no longer looks as weak as if she was knocked down by the wind.

Among the several attributes, willpower has improved the most... No matter who it is, after working in a blood-stained, dirty and smelly environment for a month, their nerves will become hardened after enough vomiting.

The newly added passive skills... Roy felt an evil spirit from them. Although the current skill probability and damage increase are only 1%, which is better than nothing, don't forget that it is only level one. It can be strengthened through killing, or it can be strengthened by using skill points after the personal level is improved.

Acquired under the guidance of the Butcher, and upgraded through continuous killing, this skill will be named - Roy thought, and the words "unnamed" in the skill changed to "Slaughter".

……

Halfway through, Roy bumped into Brandon, who was rushing towards him like a squirrel.

I don’t know if this little chubby guy has special talent in magic tricks. It only took him a month to learn all the tricks he had found online: magical prophecies, grabbing grass in the air, and wearing a fork through cloth...

Roy didn't know whether Brandon was suitable to be a bard, but this guy was definitely suitable to be a juggler.

I have been pestered for a month, my promise has been fulfilled, and I have no patience to continue messing around with him.

"I've told you many times, I've taught you everything you need to teach, please let me go, little slug!"

Little Fatty's round eyes were full of curiosity, "Then you come and appreciate my improved trick. With this trick, the future bard will definitely be popular in the entire Caye, no, the entire Posada!" ”

"No interest, I still have to work!"

"I'll give you some fried dough. Fletcher made it yesterday." A flattering smile appeared on Brandong's chubby face. Ever since he was a child, this pampered little fat man has never begged someone like this. .

But this time he fell in love with magic tricks, and unprecedented enthusiasm surged through his body.

"Then perform it for him," Roy said resolutely, "or ask your followers, Mindy and the others will be eager to cheer you on and applaud."

"I dare to go to daddy? He hasn't spanked me yet." Brandon took his hand and said reluctantly, "You can't always perform for those followers, it's too childish! Look! If I can’t give you any good advice, I’ll leave you alone as the expert.”

"Don't pester me!" Roy stared into his eyes and emphasized his tone, "I have work and other important things. Don't talk to me about magic tricks in the future. If there is no one, just do it. Perform for your mother?"

Brandon was startled for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head quietly.

……

Roy shook off the slug and arrived at the butcher's house. He saw two people fighting with a big white pig in the yard. Fletcher grabbed the pig's head and the villagers grabbed the tail, but they were still dragged by it and howled strangely. Running around.

Roy quickly stepped forward to help the two of them hold down the white pig, and it was only after Fletcher poured anesthesia into the pig that it completely subsided.

Fletcher sat down on the pig's back, not feeling dirty, and shook the flesh on his face, and asked seemingly casually, "Roy, did you see that brat Brandon just now?"

"Well...he went to find some kids to show off his magic tricks."

"After killing this pig in a while, you can help me call him back. The little **** made me wait in vain again." Fletcher touched his nose and whispered, "But just now I brought this brat The scolding was a bit harsh, and I was afraid that he would be sad and run away."

Roy secretly complained that this was another guy with a hard mouth and a soft heart, and agreed to his request.

With the help of Fletcher, he skillfully killed the big fat pig with one knife. After the blood was almost drained, the experience value successfully increased to 100%. At this moment, Roy felt the entire template shake extremely weakly, so I made an excuse and found a quiet place to sit down.

A "+" sign appears behind the light green experience bar in the personal template.

When his thoughts focused on the "+" sign, a new line of text appeared in the template: Level 1 (3/500)

At the same time, a faint warm current, like the legendary internal energy, true energy, and chaotic energy, flows along the whole body.

There is a clear "+" sign after each attribute and skill "Slaughter".

Get 1 attribute point and 1 skill point.

Roy suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully studied his attributes.

Strength 4.2, physical strength 4.1, and willpower 4.5 are all weaker than adults. Even if they are added a little, there is no advantage. As long as you continue to do this job and let your body develop naturally, the three attributes will increase. There is no need to use precious attribute points.

As for the attribute of charm, he has no interest in becoming a pretty boy, so he will put it aside for the time being.

His focus is on the three attributes of spirit, perception, and agility.

His three attributes are no less than those of an adult. Especially when the spirit reaches 6 points ~IndoMTL.com~ When attribute points are scarce, he is more willing to expand his own advantages rather than develop into a panacea.

However, Roy has not mastered any spells at present, and has no chance to come into contact with the spell-like Witcher Seal. The mental attributes that affect the power of spells will not be considered for the time being.

Perception and agility.

Agility can improve reaction speed and improve his dynamic vision, which will be of great help in using the hand crossbow Gabriel. Very helpful for his future plans.

Perception allows him to feel everything around him more clearly. It can be used for defense, predicting crises, and optimizing observation and vision. It can also be used with hand crossbows.

After Roy thought carefully,

"Perception determines it is you!"

When I thought of this, the 5 behind the attribute jumped slightly and turned into a 6. At the same time, a more intense heat flow slid over the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, skin, and between the eyebrows.

In an instant, he entered a wonderful state. The world in front of him suddenly came alive. A faint smell of blood came from the yard of the butcher's house in his nose. Looking into the grass, he could clearly see The dewdrops hanging on the leaves and the colorful ladybugs; the warm and soft air flow passed through the fingertips and swept in the direction in front of him.

Everything becomes more lively and wonderful.

Roy was intoxicated in this weird state. After a long time he came to his senses and added skill points to the newly unlocked skills, Slaughter lv1 → Slaughter lv2.

In the span of level 1, the damage increase and shock probability actually increased significantly, jumping from 1% to 5%, but the body did not change significantly.

Roy felt happy and became more confident in his next plan.

The joy of upgrading made him forget himself, and he forgot about what the butcher had asked him to do.
