After breakfast, it was the time when the sun was at its best.
It brought warmth to the people, but it wasn't too hot.
Kieran sat on the sofa, letting the sunlight shine through the window and shine on his body. He had finished most of the thick book in his hand.
Only the last few pages were left.
The old lady beside him was holding a cup of tea and waiting quietly.
When Kieran finished the last few pages, she asked, "Can we start now?"
"Yes!"
Kieran rubbed his temples, which were swollen from reading too much, and answered with a nasal voice.
"What are the characteristics of the Night Walkers?"
The old lady asked after getting a positive answer.
"Huh?
I was reading 'The Characteristics of the Devil in the Well', right?
Why are you asking about the Night Walkers? "
Kieran was stunned and raised his head.
"Review the old to learn the new!
I didn't say I would only test you on what you just read! "
The old lady showed a smile on her face.
Kieran was sure she did it on purpose.
As a matter of fact, a week ago, when Kieran was looking forward to Nikorei's teachings, he had never thought that her teachings would be so traditional.
Learning, then asking and answering questions.
It was something that only elementary school students would experience.
Of course, elementary school students would never learn such strange and profound knowledge.
However, one thing was for sure. Nikorei's traditional teaching method was quite effective.
Although it didn't allow Kieran to master the [Mystical Being] skill, every time he answered the questions correctly, he would gain a considerable amount of experience.
When the experience accumulated to a certain level, the skill would be mastered.
Kieran believed it.
So he started to recall the characteristics of the Night Walkers.
Thanks to his good memory, Kieran quickly found his answer.
"The Night Walkers are divided into three main categories and a special category.
The three main categories are: Deuw, Herde and Fenr. Among them, Fenr is the most mysterious. Legend has it that they have a prophet, and Herde is the most belligerent. They can use most of the weapons that people know of and their bodies are much stronger than normal people. The Druids, on the other hand, are proficient in potions. They like to live in the forest and are very friendly to ordinary people! "
"The special classification is the traitors of the Dews, Herds, and Fenr tribes. They like to eat humans and obtain power from it. Under the control of this power, their eyes, teeth, or skin will undergo special changes. They are the most dangerous type of Nightstalkers. We need a team of 30 fully armed soldiers with heavy weapons to deal with them! "
Kieran said slowly.
"Also, all Nightwalkers hate Wolfbane Grass!"
"They like healthy adult males. In order to reproduce, they will fall in love with normal humans, but after they get pregnant, they will leave!"
At the end, Kieran thought of two more points and supplemented them.
Pa pa!
When Kieran completely stopped, the old woman put down the teacup and clapped her hands.
"Not bad!"
The old lady commented.
After that, a series of messages appeared on Kieran's retina.
[After being taught, my experience with Research of Mystical Creatures has increased considerably …]
[Basic Biology of Mystical Beings experience has reached the limit of the current level …]
[Level up!]
[Mastered Skill: Research of Mystical Creatures (Basic)]
[Name: Research of Mystical Creatures (Basic)]
[Related Attributes: None]
[Skill Type: Ancillary]
[Effects: Through learning, you have understood the characteristics of some Mystical Creatures. Including but not limited to their habits, attacks, and feeding!]
[Consumes: None]
[Prerequisites: None]
[Remarks: You have only mastered a limited knowledge of Mystical Creatures. There are many that you have not even heard of!]
[Note: You have learned this skill through learning. Therefore, you cannot rely on Points or Skill Points to level up. If you want to level up, you will need to continue learning or a Skill Book!]
…
Huu!
Looking at the notification of [Research of Mystical Creatures (Basic)], Kieran couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
A week!
A whole week!
Other than the necessary rest, he had been completely immersed in learning the skill.
Although he could see the experience points increase every time he learned the skill, Kieran had no idea when he could master the skill.
Kieran even had the thought of using the remaining time to learn the skill.
But … There was no need for that now.
He could now focus on learning the remaining three skills.
[Alchemy], [Potionology], and [Astrology]!
As for the fact that he could not rely on Points or Skill Points to level up?
Kieran didn't mind.
At least not now.
His current goal was to raise [Alchemy], [Potionology], [Astrology], and [Research of Mystical Creatures] to the Basic level. He wanted to level up his [Mystical Knowledge] to deal with any special situations that might arise in the future dungeons.
Kieran had already experienced the importance of [Mystical Knowledge].
It was the simplest example. If Kieran's [Mystical Knowledge] level was high enough, he would not have had to face Trumbo in the previous dungeon, [The Wandering Beast]. He could have used his [Mystical Knowledge] to predict what Trumbo was going to do and delivered a fatal blow before Trumbo could complete his magic circle.
If Kieran could do that, his dungeon rating would increase by a few levels.
For Kieran, who needed a large amount of Golden Skill Points and Attribute Points, it was very attractive.
Even in the current dungeon world, a high level [Mystical Knowledge] would give him a huge advantage.
Although Nikorei had opened up her book collection to Kieran, he did not understand any of the books.
Although Nikorei had opened up her book collection to Kieran, he did not understand about three-quarters of the books.
'You can read general alchemy, Potionology, Astrology, Research of Mystical Creatures and other related knowledge! '
The Master Level [Mystical Knowledge]'s remark explained it perfectly.
Even though Kieran had the special effect [Proficient in Words and Symbols], which allowed him to make guesses about unknown words and symbols, it was still useless.
Single words and symbols. He could still make guesses.
But if he had to make guesses for the whole book …
Kieran felt like he was rewriting a new book.
He did not even have the corresponding knowledge.
In other words, he was making it up.
"Rei. I want to learn more mystical knowledge!
Alchemy, Potionology, or Astrology!
Of course, I won't give up on Research of Mystical Creatures either! "
Kieran expressed his request to Nikorei.
On top of that. He even mentioned the [Research of Mystical Creatures].
After spending a week with Nikorei, Kieran was familiar with Nikorei's temper.
Firstly, she did not put on airs.
Secondly, her temper was like a child's.
Lastly, and most importantly, she hated people who gave up halfway.
Did Nikorei know alchemy, Potionology, or Astrology?
'She is the strongest shaman on the West Coast. Her strength is not the only thing people talk about. Her various skills are at the peak of perfection! '
Her various skills. Including but not limited to alchemy, Potionology, Astrology, Research of Mystical Creatures and so on.
Kieran had read it in a book called "West Coast Paranormal Event Summary (Year E)". The author was a man named Whist Ray.
Kieran was sure that it was not Nikorei's pen name.
Nikorei might be like a child sometimes, but she would never brag about herself.
That was why Kieran was confident in Nikorei.
Whether it was the knowledge she had mastered or the teachings she had given him.
After spending a week with Nikorei, Kieran had realized that Nikorei was a person who kept her promises.
"As long as you can master Research of Mystical Creatures, you can take care of other things. I have no objections! "
Just as Kieran had expected, Nikorei agreed with a smile.
"I want to learn Potionology!"
Kieran had a few recipes in his game room, so he had priority.
"No problem!
We … "
Nikorei nodded and was about to say something. However, he suddenly stopped.
"2567, we need to stop our studies for a while!
That old friend of mine is here to visit me! "
Nikorei said.
Old friend?
Kieran squinted his eyes and blurted out a name.
"Morenderk?!"
Even though he had been immersed in his studies for a week, it did not mean that Kieran had forgotten what Nikorei had told him.
A powerful person who could have a subordinate like Wilco.
It was enough to leave a fresh impression on Kieran.
Especially when the other party had a certain amount of malicious intent towards him.
"Yes!"
Nikorei replied softly and stood up.
Tiki, who had been missing for the past week, appeared out of nowhere and jumped into Nikorei's arms.
"Ferad, I need to leave for a while …"
"About a week to a week and a half. I'll leave the house to you! "
Nikorei told the spirit butler.
"Yes, Miss!"
Ferad wrote.
Then. Nikorei waved at Kieran and walked out of the room.
In the courtyard. A slightly hunched figure was standing there.
He was holding a walking stick in his hand.
His hat was a little too big and he looked a little funny.
However, no one would laugh when they saw him.
Countless skeletons were wailing under his feet, tearing the ground in the courtyard into pieces. Countless wandering souls were wailing around him, causing ripples in the sky.
He was like a tyrant sitting on his throne, whipping the skeletons and wandering souls around him. All he needed was a thought to destroy everything.
It was not an illusion!
Kieran checked the battlelog. There were no notifications of [Fear] or [Illusion].
Which meant …
Everything before him was real!
Kieran looked at the skeletons, which were obviously not human, and the monsters with three eyes, four arms, and eight legs among the wandering souls.
Kieran could not help but purse his lips.
Kieran did not need to guess. He was sure that these things were very powerful.
However, such powerful creatures were crawling under Morenderk's feet like slaves.
How powerful was Morenderk?
Or rather, how powerful was Nikorei, who had forced Morenderk to show up with a single sentence?
It was a meeting of monsters!
Kieran muttered in his heart before he held his breath and concentrated on Nikorei who was slowly walking towards Morenderk.
PS: First update ~
This chapter was supposed to be updated in the afternoon.
However, he had stayed up all night writing and when he woke up, it was already afternoon …
Plus, he had a headache and all kinds of discomfort.
As expected of an old coder, he could not afford to be hurt.
