V1.Chapter 25

In dim candlelight.

Sauron and Vivian sat opposite each other at a small table with white bread, bacon, fish soup, and lettuce in front of them.

In this era, human things are relatively simple and barren. In fact, in the historical background with the characteristics of Western races, the food itself is very uncreative. The real culinary skills are found in the elf realm, as well as those small halflings, especially the latter almost all have master-level cooking skills. But for Vivian, the food in front of her already seemed a bit too rich.

"elder brother."

The little girl swallowed her saliva, blinked her eyes and said, "Will it be too wasteful?"

There is meat, soup, and white bread.

They used to be able to eat something so good only during the New Year.

Sauron didn't answer, just reached out and touched her little head lovingly, and then with a flick of his fingertips, a shining Kindler appeared on the back of his hand. In the dim candlelight, Kindler shone brightly, causing Vivian's pretty little face to show a hint of surprise, and then she smiled until her eyes narrowed, like a crescent moon, and whispered, "Brother."

"Have we made a fortune?"

She doesn't care how the money comes from!

Since it is in their hands, the money is theirs.

Sauron was amused by the little girl's secretive and whispered words. He reached out and squeezed Vivienne's little face, and then took out an embroidered purse. He squeezed his fingers and shook it gently. There was a crisp sound inside, and he smiled. Said: "This is for you."

"Vivian's dividend!"

The little girl didn't understand what Sauron meant, but it didn't prevent her from knowing that it was for her.

She stretched out her little hand and took the purse, which was sewn with simple patterned cloth. Only noble ladies in the city would use such a purse. There was a loop of string on it, and it could be tied by pulling it tight. Vivienne opened the purse, and was immediately blinded by the light inside. She saw several Kindlers and many silvers.

"Get rich!"

The little girl smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, she happily put away her purse, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, brother!"

This is Kindler!

She had never taken so much money before, enough to buy a lot of food and a new dress.

"Let's eat."

Soran rubbed her little head and put a piece of meat into her bowl.

At the beginning, he was not used to chopsticks, but as he stayed in this world for a long time, it gradually became indifferent.

Adventurers don't pay so much attention in the wild, and most of the time they eat directly with their hands!

The little girl happily took a bite, her face showing a hint of satisfaction, then she used a spoon to put a little fish soup, put it on her small mouth and blew it, handed it to Sauron, and said with a wink, "Brother."

"Open your mouth!"

Sauron smiled helplessly, then opened his mouth.

Vivian smiled, suddenly drank the fish soup herself, and pretended to smash it and said with a small mouth: "It's delicious!"

"Naughty!"

Sauron's expression was incredulous, but his heart was filled with inexplicable joy.

He hasn't been this happy in a long time!

………………

It's a quiet day.

The turbulent waves in Amber City did not affect the good mood of the two!

Sauron got up early in the morning to practice swordsmanship. Basic swordsmanship can be perfectly applied to any weapon, because its core is three kinds of chopping, slashing, and stabbing.

The memory of the battle is still there, and Sauron remembers it very clearly!

He practiced according to the routine in his memory, familiar with the weapon in his hand, and familiar with his own body.

——[Sword Potential - Heavy Cleave]!

This is a very practical combat skill, and its key is to concentrate all the strength of the whole body in a slashing attack.

Say you punch out.

If you're only using arm strength, you're clearly not qualified.

The power exerted by this is less than one-third of your total strength, and hitting people is not fatal at all!

But if you can use the strength of your waist, then congratulations you have the most basic fighting skills, and the power of a punch is enough to seriously injure the enemy. But if you are able to explode the power of your whole body with a single punch, then you can be considered a real entry into the room and have mastered deadly fighting skills.

[Sword Stance - Heavy Chopping] is such a fighting technique.

You have to focus your entire body on one line in a slashing attack in pursuit of the maximum speed and lethality you can exert!

This is the real ability to master it.

[Sword Stance - Heavy Chopping] is a combat skill that can be applied to all weapons. When used, it can maximize its own strength. Even an ordinary person with 10 points of strength can hack with a single slashing attack after mastering the skill. Open twenty-centimeter thick wood. Because the strength of the whole body is concentrated on the front line, the explosive combat power is several times your usual!

According to data.

That is when using this combat skill, your lethality can explode to the maximum!

It's a bit similar to the 'Qi Raising Slash' skill mastered by warriors after they advanced, except that [Sword Stance - Heavy Slash] is a one-time attack, while the 'Qi Raising Slash' can stimulate the body's qi and blood for 30 seconds in a special way time around the clock. If you can advance to the 'Juggernaut', you can even explode with twice the usual lethality at the expense of physical overloading and injury!

This is what many people used to be afraid of - 'deadly attack without hitting the point'.

However, the Juggernaut's advancement has special needs. Their explosive method determines that they cannot wear any armor and protective gear, otherwise the physical burden will cause them to greatly reduce both speed and lethality. It was as if Sauron never wore protective gear above leather armor, because that would reduce his flexibility and greatly reduce his evasion ability. It can be said that thieves rely on flexible dodge to eat.

To pierce armor, it must be heavy armor, and pursue strong protection at the cost of giving up flexibility.

Time passed little by little.

Sauron exercised for half a day and then started reading.

That's right.

It was the books he found in the treasure cave. Although he knew the words on them, he needed to memorize them again.

It may be because of his expertise in 'unforgettable', Sauron's memory is very fast.

When he wrote down one of the texts about basic spell knowledge and relevant wizarding area information.

A row of data also emerges:

"Read complete."

"You have successfully read and memorized a book!  …"

"Learning +1, Spellcraft +1."

………………

Foundation occupations without academics.

Sauron could only improve his knowledge by reading books, because these books recorded the magic knowledge of wizards, so Sauron also improved his spell identification skills a little. Simply put, it is the familiarity of various spells, such as what spells the enemy uses, you can judge based on the opponent's pronunciation and gestures, and then prepare to dodge in advance. Or some more special spell devices, as well as various enchanted extraordinary items, etc., you can recognize them through the knowledge of spell identification.

In battle, no one will yell at me what move I'm going to do.

Whether you can predict the spell attack used by the enemy depends entirely on your own skill points in spell recognition.

This skill is useless against warriors.

But if you deal with the masters, it is a life-saving skill that must be mastered.

Sauron relied on this several times to judge the spell cast by the wizard in advance, and then avoided the area attack covered by the spell.

For example, if you know that the opponent is using the fireball technique, and then predict the roll and dodge in advance, you will suffer at most half of the damage.

But if you don't know.

Right within the explosive range of the fireball technique, your entire body will be Spartan (SBD) in an instant.

If the skill point of spell identification is high enough, you can even judge the enemy's silent and instant spells by the fluctuation of arcane energy around you.

If you want to avoid instant cast spells, Spellcraft is a must-have skill!

noon.

Sauron took Vivian into Amber City. He was going to the commercial area to buy some daily necessities, including camping tools and small things that might be used.

certainly!

The cute little girl needs a new dress too.

Because they want to travel far in the wild, those beautiful but impractical dresses must be given up. The first criterion for Sauron to buy is to be durable and convenient, and it is best to have a certain degree of protection. The minimum standard is that it will not be damaged by the barb hooks on the wild flowers, plants and trees, and it will be easily scratched.

Therefore, skirts must be given up, and only some sturdy underwear can be prepared.

Then there are the shoes, which are one of the most important things for a wild adventure, first they have to be durable, second they have to be thick, and more importantly they have to be warm.

Sauron did not save on this point, and directly spent three Kindlers to buy a pair of high-quality moccasins.

So much so that Vivian complained.

After the little girl got the new pair of boots, although she said that it was too wasteful and too expensive, just buy a pair of ordinary thick cloth shoes, but her eyes were already squinted into two slits, and she was full of smiles all day. meaning.

Really nice and beautiful boots!

It is estimated that only noble ladies in the city can afford to wear them, even if they are slightly larger, even the smallest boots.

"But that's okay."

"I'll be a little older soon, and that's just the right time."

"Now you can put something on."

The little girl was thinking about trivial matters, and the corner of her mouth unconsciously revealed a smile, and her beautiful big eyes narrowed with a smile.

"I have new clothes and new boots!"

"Um."

"And a new headband, pink, and it's beautiful."

"I'm so happy today!"

then.

Vivian's happy day just passed.

She didn't care much about leaving Amber City for a long trip, because the little girl had a very vague concept of hometown.

Besides.

The place where she has her brother in her heart can be regarded as her home.

So her home is very simple.

She goes wherever she goes.
