"Shadow Attack" is a clever attack and killing method. It can use the enemy's shadow to launch a short period of displacement, and then instantly cause extremely high damage behind the enemy.
Matthew made a magic fool on the spot and asked A Bing to demonstrate it.
The results are quite shocking.
"If you are hit by A Bing's shadow attack, not to mention the crispy skin, around level 3, melee units below medium armor will have to shed a layer of skin!"
What's even more terrible is.
Shadow Strike is just the beginning of a series of combos after the rogue gets close.
Take A Bing’s Sword Dancer as an example.
After the sneak attack, it can immediately follow up with Funeral Dance, a very high-damage killing move.
It is difficult for low-level professionals to withstand this sudden and continuous offensive.
"As expected, when fighting rogues, not getting close is the first principle."
Matthew doesn't think how long Garcia's armor can last when he is entangled by elite rogues. In his opinion, magic armor is the last underwear. When you are forced to reveal your underwear, your life is gone.
It’s not far off.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that underwear is unimportant.
…
Another blue keyword is "Quenching".
This is an ability that includes a series of steps such as identifying poisons, extracting poisons, making poison bottles, and applying weapons.
Due to limited energy.
Matthew knows very little about herbalism and toxicology.
Now that Ah Bing has strengthened his ability, it can be regarded as making up for his shortcomings in this area.
"In the future, you can ask the soldier to collect poison and come back to make poison bottles. If he makes more, he can use it himself, and my crossbow arrows will be more deadly."
…
If the shadow attack and poisoning are still within Matthew's understanding.
The last two white keywords are difficult to understand.
What the hell is “Farming Skills”?
Could it be that A Bing was actually a farmer during his lifetime?
"Where are the cubs being nursed?"
Was it that he had raised small animals such as piglets during his lifetime, or was A Bing actually a girl?
Or is he a man with extensive experience raising human cubs?
Matthew looked at A Bing doubtfully.
The latter still responded to Matthew's gaze with a blank expression.
after awhile.
When Matthew looked away.
He found a seat at the corner of the bed and sat down quietly.
Matthew felt a little helpless.
"I didn't expect that the gray keyword I just painted will take effect!"
…
"Safety (Gray): Your skeleton has learned to be passive when not in combat."
…
Fortunately, it is limited to non-combat conditions!
If it is a battle, it will also slow down.
Then Matthew will have to consider whether to give him all the subsequent strengthening times.
Look past the gray keywords.
The good news is.
The last two keywords are both purple.
The bad news is.
These two keywords don’t seem very serious.
…
"Shadow Dance (Purple): Your skeleton can achieve the effect of pleasing and charming the target by twisting its hips quickly and violently.
At the same time, when dancing, part of its dance steps can cross the shadow realm, thereby achieving the purpose of accelerating towards the target.
…
Rope Art Master (Purple): Your skeleton is good at using rope art (including binding) skills, including rope art in combat situations.
Requirement: Before starting, please prepare at least one magic rope that is strong enough for him."
…
"So what exactly does the profession of knife dancer teach?"
Matthew fell into deep doubts.
He looked at A Bing again.
The latter hesitated for a moment.
Then he stood up and twisted his hips at Matthew.
The air fluctuated slightly.
Matthew's eyelids twitched.
That moment.
His brain actually felt dizzy!
"stop!"
He held down A Bing's crotch that was about to move.
"I understand, the shadow dance steps are indeed a bit sharp. This should be due to the power of some kind of ritual spell."
Matthew rubbed his temples to try to wake himself up more.
If this continues.
He might feel that the skeleton in front of him has become more beautiful.
This is the effect of charm.
His will is not low, and he is the master of A Bing, so he will be affected.
If it were anyone else...
Matthew suddenly felt a little more hopeful in his heart!
He looked at A Bing carefully.
I found that this skeleton was very different from when I first selected it.
His bones are plump and strong, and there are a lot of silver spots deposited inside. Compared with other skeletons, he is cleaner - so clean that he is almost spotless!
All his body was covered with bones as white as jade and rimmed with silver.
"Have you bathed yourself?"
Matthew asked thoughtfully.
A Bing was stunned for a moment.
A full ten seconds later.
He nodded uncertainly.
Matthew looked helpless.
Ah Bing is good at everything and has full potential, but his intelligence is too low.
This is also a common problem among undead creatures.
Xiao Bo, who is as powerful as the bone dragon, only has 4 points of intelligence - of course intelligence does not completely represent IQ, but an IQ that is too low is usually not very good either.
Ah Bing's current mind is equivalent to that of a 5-year-old child.
It's okay if Matthew directs it.
Acting alone will almost certainly lead to trouble!
"From this point of view, Peggy is really unusual. I risked my life to find it in the Golden Land."
There was a trace of reminiscence in Matthew's eyes.
But soon.
His memory was interrupted.
"Knife, knife, I...I, knife!"
Intermittent thoughts came from A Bing's soul fire through the immortal contract.
Matthew nodded thoughtfully.
"You want a good knife? A short one?"
Ten seconds later.
"Two, two...two handfuls."
A Bing responded.
"I know, I will make two suitable short knives for you as soon as possible."
"Thank you...Master."
The response this time took only three seconds.
…
"Thanks to your commitment, Bing (Skeleton)'s loyalty to you has been increased to 99!"
…
"It is more loyal if you cultivate it yourself!"
Matthew sighed with emotion.
…
After having a simple dinner in the cabin, it was already dark night outside.
Matthew pushed open the door and walked out.
A faint white light shone in the oak forest not far away.
The oak fairies who had been hiding in the darkness during the day came out in full force.
Except for Princess Lulu, almost all the fairies are dancing around the owl Ella.
And Ella was standing in the crown of an oak tree.
It closed its eyes tightly and muttered words.
Faint ripples of divine magic spread out like ripples.
Matthew is walking in the woods.
The feeling of being watched by pairs of kind eyes came back.
She is "enlightening" the oak forest.
As a natural soul favored by the Moonlight Goddess, Ella's attainments in the natural field are much higher than Lulu's.
Through the ritual of ‘enlightenment’.
She can inject more wisdom and vitality into the oak forest.
The oak trees are healthier as a result.
And in the long process of growth.
If there are always people enlightening them, then there will be a higher probability that tree spirits will be born among them, which are often called tree guardians.
With good luck, one or two tree shepherds may even be born.
This is very beneficial to the development of the forest.
But it also means great consumption for the initiates themselves.
Maybe it was because Matthew was rejected.
Ella was afraid that he would not remove the bugs tonight, so she fulfilled the promise Matthew had asked him to fulfill in advance.
…
"Tip: Your nature companion Ella has completed an initiation ceremony for your oak forest.
Your ‘Domain: Oak’ has been slightly improved!”
…
Is there such a benefit?
Matthew was overjoyed.
Enlightenment can not only benefit oak trees, but also enhance the power of their own fields?
"It seems that after the three-year period is up, we have to find a way to get Ella to come around more."
Matthew thought so.
The only uncertainty is actually Lulu.
As the soul of nature, Lulu has obviously regarded the oak forest as her own habitat.
She can tolerate Ella following Matthew's will in the short term and coming here for enlightenment.
But it’s been a long time.
She definitely couldn't bear it.
Because this is taking away her job.
"Lulu should have similar abilities in the future, right?"
Between thoughts.
The white light in the forest has receded.
The oak goblin disappeared without a trace.
Ella was left dragging her tired body to Matthew.
"Hey Matthew, I didn't do a bad job, didn't I?"
Ella shrugged her head and asked.
Matthew nodded.
He could feel the oaks' joy.
Ella clearly wasn't paddling.
Matthew's attitude naturally became gentle:
"Thank you, Ella, you did a great job."
Ella said happily:
"So we can get rid of the bugs now?"
Unexpectedly, Matthew still shook his head.
In Ella's confused eyes, he asked:
"Can you induce germination?"
Ella seemed to have guessed something, so she nodded vigorously: "I can, I can, Matthew, this is the basic skill of the natural soul! I guessed what you want me to do, you said that your job is to breed
Shu, I watch you walking around carrying saplings every day, so are you running out of saplings?"
Matthew said approvingly:
"You are very smart. The saplings I have on hand are indeed not enough, but I have a small greenhouse in which I am cultivating some oak seeds. However, if we follow the normal process, they will germinate too slowly, so I would like to ask you to help with germination -
- You don’t need to ripen all of it, just a small part. We can do it in batches. The specifics will depend on your physical condition.”
"After all, you have just completed an enlightenment, and it must have consumed a lot of money."
Ella said impatiently:
"Take me there, there's no need to separate them in batches, I'll help you ripen them all tonight!"
Matthew hesitated:
"Is this good? Your body..."
Ella is full of confidence:
"Don't underestimate the perseverance of the soul of nature, Matthew!"
"Isn't it just a small greenhouse? I can still stand it!"
…
Twenty minutes later.
Matthew's house in Rolling Stone.
In the greenhouse on the east side.
Peggy looked at Ella who looked shocked with interest.
"This, this is the small greenhouse you mentioned?"
Miss Owl trembled.
She looked at the seemingly endless mini-greenhouses in front of her.
My vision went dark and I almost fainted!
"The previous owner of this house left a space-folding ritual venue here, but my mana is insufficient and I can only inspire a small part. Currently, it only covers an area of less than 15 acres."
Matthew said pleasantly:
"Do you need me to introduce you to the next working environment in detail?"
…
From now on, I will post it as 0/12. Thank you for your support.
