No sound could be heard in the dark, dry and cold environment. Only the sound of Dulan's footsteps was mixed with the pounding of his heart. He walked quickly to the fork. The reason why he was not too defensive was because of the dim candles here.
There are so many extra ones. Wherever the light reaches, shadow creatures cannot hide, so he has nothing to fear.
To be honest, the ability of these shadow creatures to hide themselves is much better than that of Duran. After all, he is just an ordinary human being, and the talent of shadow creatures is to hide their traces in the dark.
Thinking of this, Dulan suddenly became curious about what his bloodline talent was?
"If it is an ordinary human being, then it is most likely [Tenacity] or [Courage]. However, although the memory of the original owner does not involve matters related to his bloodline talent, since he can be selected by the leader of the black people,
He is also a person prophesied by witches, there must be something extraordinary about him, right?" Dulan thought secretly in his mind. Generally speaking, the sooner the bloodline talent is awakened, the better. Many geniuses often awaken their bloodline at the apprentice level.
Talent, thus becoming a blockbuster and emerging.
Dulan's situation is somewhat special. The existence of soul talent makes his qualifications far beyond his peers, and the talent skill of data flow, which can continuously evolve, is the envy of countless people. He awakened the soul talent when he was in the apprenticeship level.
, then it is very likely that the bloodline talent will be awakened during the period of gray iron power.
The role of bloodline talent is very obvious no matter when and where. Even [Tenacity], the most common skill among ordinary humans, is also an extremely useful skill. Duran still vaguely remembers the attribute of the talent Tenacity: Ignore for a certain period of time
Pain, willpower greatly improved.
This talent may not directly improve combat ability, but in high-intensity battles, people, especially assassins in close combat, are often very susceptible to interference from injuries. The tenacity talent can avoid this interference for a certain period of time, which will create a
provides a very strong advantage.
It's a pity that there is no trace of the awakening of talent. For example, Duran, who awakened his soul talent in the belly of the Flame Nest Mountain, accidentally cut off Sir Burning's tongue on the suspension bridge and succeeded inexplicably, even though there were countless thoughts in his mind.
The information about Feinan Continent also failed to help him opportunistically activate his bloodline talent.
Dulan was thinking about all this, but he did not relax his vigilance at all. His eyes were always paying attention to the changes around him. The design of the corridor was rigorous and regular, and there were almost no redundant buildings on the top, bottom, left and right except candlesticks.
.Dulan once tried to sense the air flow in the corridor to find the cracks in the wall, but the result naturally ended in failure. The maze created by the legendary mage was not so easy to find flaws.
The road was divided into two ahead, with a deep corridor on the left and right in front of Dulan. He stopped because there was a tall wooden sign erected between the two corridors on the left and right. The wooden sign seemed to read
A few words, but what is strange is that the handwriting on such a wide wooden sign is beautiful and small, and it is impossible to see clearly from a distance. Dulan's heart moved, and he was about to move forward, but suddenly felt that
Something's not quite right.
The step he took out was immediately stopped by him. The dangerous factor gradually spread in the air. Dulan narrowed his eyes slightly and finally realized the source of the problem - there was a long trail behind the tall wooden sign.
Shadow, logically speaking, it seems to be a normal thing to have a shadow behind the wooden sign.
"There are dim candles on all sides, but there is only a shadow behind the wooden sign - even if there is a shadow, the shadow should be very dim by the candlelight! Where can it be so rich?" Dulan sneered in his heart, this shadow
The creatures are indeed very cleverly hidden, and if you are careless, you may be easily deceived.
But now...
Dulan pretended to look casually and took a step, hiding the oak thorn in his right hand behind his back. His eyes seemed to be attracted by the content on the wooden sign, but he was still paying attention to the strange shadow from the corner of his eye.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, but the expected sneak attack did not come. Duran could even read the words on the wooden sign clearly.
"The patience of this shadow creature is much better than I thought." Duran no longer hesitated. The other party was patient, but he didn't have the patience to act with a shadow creature.
At that moment, he suddenly stepped out and stepped on the shadow!
"Zizz!" A shrill whine came from under his feet. Before the shadow could make any move, Duran's fierce offensive had already arrived. The oak thorns stabbed out simply and powerfully, piercing deeply into the shadow beast's body.
A hole was dug deep into the ground.
The shadow creature's hiding ability is very powerful, but after its disguise is seen through, it does not pose much of a threat. Their lives are very fragile, and Dulan easily eliminated the shadow beast with two swords. The shadows on the ground trembled and dotted.
Black particles floated away from the shadows and finally disappeared silently into the air.
Duran let out a long breath, and the contract assistance system once again flashed a message that made Duran feel numb: Gain 588 experience points. Each shadow creature can contribute a considerable amount of experience. Normally, Duran might feel greedy.
He couldn't stop, but now he felt a little hot while holding it. He had already understood the cunning and patience of shadow creatures. If it weren't for his cautious nature and strong perception, he might have become a meal for the opponent.
After destroying the shadow creatures, Duran finally turned his attention to the wooden sign.
There were three lines of words written on it. Dulan took a quick look at it and found that it was actually just one sentence. The three lines of words were written in Anze human language, Yujin human language and Elf language respectively. Dulan said:
It can only be said that he has a slight understanding of the human language and the elven language, but the Ember language is the prototype of human common language. He can at least understand the meaning of the line in the middle:
[Wisdom is on the left, courage is on the right, decisions related to fate, consider carefully]
"Wisdom is on the left, courage is on the right? What does this mean?" Dulan scratched his head, a little strange. Is this a multiple-choice question for latecomers to make a choice between wisdom and courage? This is too weird, right?
.
Wisdom and courage are one of the things that people yearn for. Dulan knows Riven King quite well. He has an ordinary background. At first, he was just a street thief. When he was most successful, he only had a few pieces of film in a certain city
The boss of thieves in the neighborhood. Later, he became a disciple of the King of Thieves and spent eleven years learning all the skills of the King of Thieves. Legend has it that when he was apprenticed, he once stole the fairy clothes that the goddess Bi Qilan took off when she was bathing in the human world.
This made Ms. Huayue furious, but because Rivenkin's hiding ability was too strong, he was never found.
Later, this legendary thief accidentally gained the favor of another god, the Prince of Shadows. Ravenkin inherited the wisdom of the ancient god from the Prince of Shadows, became a rune mage, and at the same time promoted the rune school.
.
It can be said that Riven King's life is synonymous with legend. Dulan quickly thought that if wisdom and courage represent the rune magic and thieving skills that Riven King is proficient in, then whether the corridors on both sides are the symbols of legend.
Will future generations choose between these two treasures?
It's just that Dulan thinks this consideration may be a bit far-fetched. There shouldn't be much problem if wisdom can represent witchcraft, but courage and thieving skills are a bit inconsistent. In many periods of history, the profession of thieves has been excluded by the mainstream and was
They are considered to be a group of scum composed of shameless scum who lack courage and belief. Only in the special third era, thieves and assassins showed far better destructive capabilities to the Dragon Empire than ordinary warriors. This profession is popular among the people.
The reputation has improved.
How could such a profession be linked to courage? Dulan had to suspect that his own association was biased.
However, he then thought of a famous saying that Raven King seemed to have said: "The definition of courage in the eyes of the world is too narrow. In my opinion, it is the ability to hide oneself deep in the darkness and make all sacrifices for the established purpose.
This is also a kind of great courage. This purpose has nothing to do with being noble or humble."
When Raven King said these words, it was during a leisure meeting of representatives of many magic schools. Most people, including the clerk who recorded these words, believed that Raven King was just trying to make himself less glorious.
His resume is just a cover-up, but Dulan feels that maybe this guy really thinks so in his heart.
If Duran's reasoning is correct, then there is no doubt that he must choose between inheriting rune spells and shadow thieves - this decision seems to be very easy to make, after all, Duran himself is an assassin.
Although there is no harm in holding a part-time rune mage, if he had to choose between the two, he would undoubtedly choose the latter.
"Can I only choose one of the two?" Duran frowned. This was different from what he expected. In fact, the purpose of Duran's search for the Tower of Shadows was to obtain the treasure left by Raven King -
—Includes the Shadow Thief skill and the Rune Mage profession.
Duran remembered that in the Tower of Shadows, there was a training base for shadow thieves built by Raven King himself. This training base contained all the thieves skills that Raven King had learned from the Prince of Shadows and the King of Thieves at that time.
After being able to train in this training base for a period of time, Duran's assassin level will inevitably improve rapidly - after all, assassins and thieves are very similar professions. Apart from slightly different natures of the professions, many skills are in common.
The rune mage is also one of Duran's long-coveted sub-professions. Rui Wenjin has already proved that rune spells and legendary thieves can be perfectly combined, and on the Feinan continent, the power of witchcraft is very powerful. Duran
After considering all the schools of witchcraft, he finally determined that the rune mage was the most suitable sub-class to cooperate with the assassin. And he came to the Tower of Shadows with the intention of getting all the benefits. Now it would be unavoidable if he could only choose one of the two.
