Chapter 486: The Riddler Gets Out of the Dream World!
"Breathe, breathe, breathe..."
In the hunter Char's hut, Lu Qing stayed in her room, breathing rhythmically.
[Fanhu Si Tang Breathing Technique] is not the kind of martial arts mental technique in the novel that can be practiced continuously or even replace sleep. It is just a breathing technique that allows the human body to absorb the power of elements.
It will put a certain amount of load on the body, so the practice time should not be too long. About two hours a day is just right.
[Fanhusi fear breathing method lv3-lv4]
[Strength 1, Agility 1, Constitution 1, Spirit 0]
Lu Qing opened her eyes and looked at the words that appeared in the diary. She was not surprised at all.
The benefits of upgrading [Fan Hu Si Tang Breathing Technique] are not high for her, probably because her physical attributes have gradually approached the value of 50.
Among them, the spirit that has reached 50 attributes will not even be improved at all.
As for spiritual power, the damage increase speed was very fast at the beginning, but now it has slowed down.
It's just that the amount of spiritual power is not displayed on the character panel, so Lu Qing doesn't know how much spiritual power he has, but he can generally feel it.
"Let's meditate next." Lu Qing sat on the bed and closed her eyes.
This is the second skill taught to her by the Pope, and its effect is similar to that in most fantasy works. It can enhance mental power.
Of course, Lu Qing's 50-point mental attribute could no longer be increased, but after these days of practice, she discovered something surprising.
That means her mental attributes may not be as powerful as they appear on the system panel.
It's said to have 50 points of mental attributes, but in fact it's just a paper tiger, built on quantity.
If Lu Qing were to describe it, it would be the difference between fifty pounds of steel and fifty pounds of cotton.
Although they are the same weight, fifty pounds of cotton will be easily torn, while fifty pounds of steel will require the use of professional tools.
That's pretty much how it feels. In short, the quality of her mental power, which she relies on adding points to the system, is quite worrisome.
Using meditation, although her mental attributes cannot be increased, it can continuously refine the quality of her mental power, thus achieving the effect of improving her mental defense.
Well, she got all this knowledge from "How to Improve the Defense Level of Mental Power".
.........
After spending an hour meditating and feeling that he had made a little progress, Lu Qing stood up and walked out of his room.
Next, she will listen to the Pope's lectures and continue to learn the knowledge in books.
【Meditation lv3】
[Advanced carpentry lv1]
[Spiritual Power Mastery lv1]
[Psychic Shock lv1]
[Basic Pharmacy lv5-lv6]
[Purification Technique lv1]
【Occultism lv2】
【Psychic lv1】
[Spiritual Contract lv1]
These are the recent changes in her skill bar. Most of the newly acquired skills are just those she has read in the book and can be used theoretically.
Because of this, these skills are all at lv1 level. To be honest, if you ask her to use them now, she may not be able to use them.
Returning to the first floor, Lu Qing was a little surprised that Fang Qingrou had come back at some point and was sitting on the wooden chair in the living room with the Pope.
"What happened?" Lu Qing asked without seeing Char, seeing the serious expressions of the two of them.
"I don't know." Fang Qingrou shook her head and told Lu Qing what she had encountered in the wild before.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to Char easily." The Pope comforted Fang Qingjudo.
"Yeah." Fang Qingrou nodded.
She didn't think anything would happen to Char. On the one hand, it was because of Char's strength, and on the other hand, it was because Char still had some skills that he hadn't taught her, so the system should not let anything happen to him.
"..."
Just as everyone in the room was silent, a sound of footsteps gradually came from the snow outside.
"Crunch."
The wooden door was pushed open from outside, causing a large amount of cold wind to blow into the house.
There was nothing unusual about Charles, who opened the door, walked up to everyone and said, "There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Don't worry about whether these are there or not. Tell me, what did you find?" the Pope said angrily.
Char didn't care, and then said what he found: "I found a creature contaminated by the void, but the opponent is very strong."
"And..." Charley paused and continued: "That's a ground worm. I even know that guy."
"!?" When the Pope heard what Charles said, he seemed to have remembered something, and his expression froze instantly.
"Is it the one from forty-five years ago?" the Pope looked at Charles seriously and asked.
"I don't know." Charles shook his head and said, "I always thought it was dead. There has been no news about it for so many years. Why is it suddenly..."
"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" the Pope asked.
"I definitely saw it right, it's exactly the same as in my memory..."
"If it were really alive, it would have been impossible for these years without any news," the pope said.
"I think so too. Its size can't hide it at all." Char shook his head, his face also full of confusion.
"Wait, who are you talking about?" Knight Myron asked with some dissatisfaction.
These two people were talking in riddles here, and he, Lu Qingfang, Qingrou, and Irene had no idea what they were talking about.
Riddler, get out of the dream world!
"Alas." Charles sighed, and then said: "This matter started fifty-one years ago..."
"I was an orphan when I was a child and lived a very poor life. One day, I was given to a man by the director of the orphanage."
"That man is a member of the Guiji Sect, and he only took me away to conduct human experiments on void energy."
"At that time, many people besides me were also caught there. I was lucky enough to not die. Instead, I gained the ability to communicate with animals."
"Perhaps because of my ability, or perhaps for other reasons, an earthworm that was hibernating underground and covered in tough exoskeleton armor came to the laboratory and caused a scene."
"I was lucky enough to run away during the turmoil, but lost my way in the wind and snow. Just when I was about to freeze to death, I met my master, the father of His Majesty the Pope."
"I told him about the laboratory, and then I passed out. The laboratory was later annihilated by the knights of the kingdom, and many other Gui Nirvana sect's strongholds were also uprooted."
"And I was adopted by my master and began to learn hunting skills with His Majesty the Pope..."
It turned out that this was the reason why the Pope and Charles knew each other, which made Lu Qing a little surprised. So what happened later to separate the two?
Lu Qing listened to Chaer's words and gradually learned the story that happened forty-five years ago.
After Charles became the apprentice of the Pope's father, the three lived and hunted together in Frémures for six years until the Pope came of age.
The Pope who originally planned to inherit his father's identity and become an authorized hunter unexpectedly received the blessing of the [Psychic] Holy Tree and had to learn from the previous Pope.
Two years after the Pope came of age, Charles also came of age, received the blessing of the holy tree named [The Apocalypse], and inherited the clothes of the Pope's father.
Together, the two protected the nature and villages of the Frémures region, until one day...
ps: Fifty-one years ago: Charles was taken away by the Jiji cultists.
Forty-seven years ago: The Pope came of age, received the blessing of the Holy Tree [Psychic], and left Fremures.
Forty-five years ago: Charles came of age, received the blessing of the Holy Tree [The One of Apocalypse], and inherited the mantle of the Pope's father.
