Natha was always straightforward. Even her words were the same as the last time. Roddy was not surprised. He replied, "I've said that I won't stay in Elsa Village forever."
Natha was not stupid. She knew that if she wanted to learn, she had to follow him to the human world. But she had already thought it through. After witnessing such a high-level battle, she no longer wanted to be a 'frog at the bottom of a well' in the isolated forest.
So, Natha still bowed and did not get up.
Looking at the bandaged Natha, Roddy had mixed feelings. If the Wood Elf in front of him was Hugo or Randolf, he would not have any expression or mood changes. But the one bowing to him was none other than his' former 'mentor!
Most of what he learned came from Natha, but now she wanted him to teach her. Roddy could not help but think about the messy question of "which came first, the chicken or the egg". But thinking about his current situation, he did not have the leeway to refuse. He needed a lot of talents, whether it was to fight in a Instance Dungeon or to build a force. Nata's strength and talent were both top-notch. No matter how he thought about it, it was much more worthwhile than looking for a "seedling"!
With that in mind, Rody thought of a few of his plans and immediately came up with an idea. He sighed and said, "It's not a problem to take you to train, but you have to understand that if you leave like this, I'm afraid that many people in Elsa Village will starve next year."
Natha was stunned. She did not care about anything else, but the safety and interests of Elsa Village were the most important to her. Now that she heard Roddy's words, her eyes were a little blank. Obviously, she had not thought about this relationship before.
"There are ways to solve this." As Rody spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Akasha up. He then looked at Natasha and said, "But before that, I hope you can do me a favor. Her body is very weak. She needs enough meat and rest. If possible, it would be best to find a suitable place for her. Three days would be enough."
Akasha was very nervous. She lowered her eyes and looked at Roddy's hand that was holding her arm. She bit her lip and blushed. She did not dare to say that she was angry. She could only endure the strange embarrassment in her heart and remain silent.
Natha was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood what Roddy meant. She knew that this was his' condition '.
This was not a difficult thing for the Wood Elf. She nodded silently and came to Akasha's side. She paused for a moment as if she had made a difficult decision. Finally, she reached out her hand to help the female Priestess who was slightly taller than her.
Roddy's eyelids twitched. He suddenly remembered that Natha was actually a serious' clean freak '. Looking at her current appearance, it was obvious that even a few minutes after the battle, the bloodstains on her body had been wiped clean, and the mud on her body had been cleaned as much as possible. Although she was covered in bandages, her body was very clean.
Akasha's body was covered in sweat and mud, which probably made Natha feel very 'disgusted'. So Roddy thought for a moment and added, "That … If possible, it's best to take her for a bath."
Natha immediately heaved a sigh of relief, but then she felt very strange. How does he always know what I'm thinking?
Roddy did not notice Natha's surprise. He said to Akasha, who did not understand the Elven language, "She will take you for a bath and rest. Don't worry about anything else, the Wood Elf village is safe."
"Okay …"
Akasha had no choice but to nod weakly in response. But when she left with Natha's help, she would look back at Roddy every few steps. She seemed to be 'dependent' on him from the inside out, like an abandoned pet …
Roddy helplessly rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He knew that Akasha had probably suffered a great shock. She probably felt very insecure when there were no humans around her. But he had no other choice. He had more things to do than the 'advancement mission'. What he had to do next … was the real 'highlight'.
*****
When the smell of blood on the battlefield gradually dissipated, the night quietly fell.
It was the custom of the wood elves to bury the dead hunters in the ground. The hunters who had died in battle were buried in an open space outside the village. There were no tombstones erected, just a small tree planted on each of their graves. According to the wood elves' customs, this symbolized "returning to nature". Village chief Brudy presided over the funeral. The ceremony was simple, even crude.
Roddy was very quiet in the darkness. As the other elves solemnly chanted prayers to the 'Forest Goddess', he finally had time to carefully look at all the rewards from completing the mission.
In the [Character Attributes Panel], all of Roddy's stats were displayed clearly:
[Army Soldier] Level 10 [Witcher] Level 1
Strength: 105 (+ 3) (+ 6)
Agility: 89 (+ 1) (+ 9)
Spirit: 23 (+ 1) (+ 4)
Physique: 113 (+ 3) (+ 6)
Intelligence: 20 (+ 1) (+ 5)
The first bracket was the 'Army Soldier' profession's attribute bonus for each level, and the second bracket was the 'Witcher'. However, the real reason why an 'advanced profession' was stronger than a basic profession was not just the attributes. [Advanced Profession Talents], [Advanced Skills], [Battle Stance], [Title], and [Skill Rune Embedding] were the key factors.
Today, a Level 1 witcher had finally unlocked six skills. In addition to [Focus Shooting], [Leap], and [Stealth], three new skills were added: [Turning Strike], [Gallop], and [Taming].
[Turning Strike] Level I
Consumes 20 MP to activate
Cast: Cast when the back is facing the enemy. Attack with a weapon (or arrow), dealing an additional 15% damage and causing a laceration. 5% of the first attack's damage will be dealt every 3 seconds for 15 seconds.
Cooldown: 6 seconds
[Gallop] Level I
Consumes 30 MP
Cast: Increases movement speed by 30% for 5 seconds.
Cooldown: 10 seconds
[Taming] Level I
Consumes 10 MP per second
Cast: Requires a guided cast, lasts for 10 seconds. Can be tamed. Success rate is based on level.
Cooldown: None
Speaking of which, these three skills were basically the same as the original [Ranger] skill. However, [Turning Strike] had an additional laceration effect, which was stronger than the previous one. [Gallop] was not a surprise, but [Taming] made Roddy excited. He had to read the words "Can be tamed." Three or four times before he finally confirmed it.
I'm going to be rich!
Being able to control a beast to fight is crazy!
Of course, he still had to hide his excitement. After all, the funeral was not over yet. He tried to maintain a sad expression and turned to the [Advanced Profession Talents Column] to study.
Talents were divided into three categories: [Enhancement], [Taming], and [Survival]. Each category had two main directions. [Enhancement] focused on strengthening the skills, damage, and cooldown when using a bow or a crossbow. The other focused on strengthening melee weapons and skills. Witchers were not limited to using bows and arrows. They could use daggers, broadswords, or other weapons.
[Taming] focused on strengthening the abilities of a beast or a beast. The other focused on strengthening the control of a beast.
[Survival] was divided into two main categories: "Trap" and "Maneuver". The former obviously referred to strengthening "trap" type skills, mainly increasing damage, effective range, effect enhancement, etc., while "Maneuver" optimized skills that enhanced mobility such as "Sprint" and "Leap".
The dazzling array of innate gifts from these three departments made Rody feel even more novel. Many of the Talents were not available in the Ranger. There were even some that the Ranger used to have, but were removed in later versions because they were too powerful. Rody knew that he would need a lot of time to study them systematically. Rody was afraid that he would not be able to figure out anything with just a glance.
After completing the advancement mission, he received 2 Talent Points (Level 0 counts as Level 1). However, Rody was not in a hurry to add points. Instead, he flipped to [Title Column]. At this time, he could choose between [The Last Witcher] and [Captain of the Temple Guards]. Rody did not hesitate to choose the former. After that, he realized that the increase in talent points brought by the title immediately took effect. [Beast Taming] Talent Column's first row, 'Strengthen Mythical Beast Skills', showed 2/5. Effect: Increase the level of all skills of the beast or Mythical Beast by 2 (only effective on normal skills).
Roddy sighed. He did not have a pet at the moment. How could he strengthen it?
He looked at the EXP he had and clicked on [Level Up] without hesitation. [Witcher] was leveled up to Level 2. There were no new skills at the even-numbered level. Only [Stealth] and [Focus Shooting] could be leveled up with EXP. However, they were not in high demand. 500 EXP was enough for each skill.
[Stealth] Level II increased the effect of stealth. There were no other changes. [Focus Shooting] increased the damage from 0-10% to 0-12%. There were no other changes.
At this time, Rody saved the 3 Talent Points for advancement. He was prepared to study the talent before deciding how to add them.
On the other hand, the [Skill Rune Embedding] was currently only in an 'activated' state. However, it did not have the qualifications to embed runes. Rody needed to be at least Level 3 in order to activate it. Besides that, Rody knew that the 'runes' were not just for leveling up. If he wanted a good rune, he would need to find a professional 'Runemaster' to make it. It was expensive and troublesome. However, the benefits it brought were worth the effort. That was because a good rune could completely change a set of rigid skills and increase its power by several times.
After leveling up, Roddy, who had 6 skills, had been reborn. His combat power had increased.
After looking through the skills, the funeral was coming to an end. After the final eulogy, the Elves began to return to the village. Rody saw that Brody was talking to a few of the older elves in the village and did not immediately go over to talk. Instead, he continued to wait there and casually looked at the equipment column. However, when he looked at it, there was another problem.
Although the equipment made from the scales of the Chimera were of blue quality, Level 4 equipment was naturally outdated. If Roddy was equipped with an "Advanced Level 2" exclusive equipment, his combat power would definitely increase by several levels …
However, Roddy knew very well that his leather-crafting skills were good in the game. However, in the real world, it was a bit lacking. Moreover, the 'Witcher's Exclusive' equipment was out of the question. That was because the IMBA profession had been deleted from the game. He had never heard of the equipment blueprints for this profession.
