Chapter 162: Skills and Expertise in Beast Taming and Swordsmanship
Middle-earth is one of the few fantasy worlds that is relatively peaceful.
At this time, before Sauron's orc army invades, the entire continent is considered safe except for the border areas with the orcs.
The Shire, where the Hobbits live, is a paradise that has been forgotten by most people.
With the efforts of the Hobbit villagers and the arrival of Balin and his dwarf construction team, the construction of Wayne Manor was on track. The workers worked together. Under the command of Balin, an experienced dwarf construction master, the entire building was completed. The manor also began to be completed bit by bit according to the pre-designed schedule.
Since killing the black bear Bisog, in addition to practicing various skills and training the Deathclaw cub Robin, Wayne has occasionally accepted some invitations, or taken the initiative to collect some bounties, ride on a magic flying carpet, and travel for the deathclaw cub Robin. The nearby residents get rid of some powerful monsters.
In this way, time passed day by day, and soon a year and a half passed, and the huge Wayne Manor was completed.
The dwarf craftsmen returned to the town of Bree, and some Hobbit workers were hired directly from their original construction jobs as planters in the manor. Even the old consul Mr. Ford was invited by Wayne to become his butler after his retirement. Responsible for managing the affairs of the entire estate.
And Old Ford was indeed an experienced manager, and he managed such a large manor in an orderly manner.
As for why Old Ford, as a retired consul, would be willing to accept Wayne's employment, that's because the Hobbit also implements a system of enfeoffment of nobles. Although Old Ford once served as a consul, it was just a job. He is almost nine years old this year. Ten years old, even among hobbits, is considered old age.
If he hadn't been unable to bear Wayne's warm invitation, the old hobbit would never have worked again. Instead, he was going to become a leisurely farmer and live out his old life.
After becoming Wayne's housekeeper, Old Ford's most important job now is to manage the farmland in the manor.
These farmlands were reclaimed by workers during the construction of the manor. If no one cultivates them for a long time, they will soon become wasteland again.
Fortunately, most hobbits are good at farming. Under the management of Old Ford, a large amount of pipeweed was planted, and some herbal seeds brought by Wayne from the wizarding world were also experimentally planted in Middle-earth. in the land.
Although it will take another year or two to make money from these crops, under the management of the old man, the entire manor has begun to operate normally. The respectable Grandpa Wayne has finally lived the chic life of the manor owner. .
Not only that, as Wayne's reputation continues to ferment, the name of the witcher is also spread farther and farther in and around the Shire, and becomes louder and louder. Whenever people encounter monsters that cannot be solved, At this time, they will think of the demon hunter who has repeatedly completed bounties and easily hunted monsters.
Well, of course, the residents of Middle-earth will call Wayne more affectionately as the Witcher than the title of Witcher.
…………
This morning, the sun shone into the luxurious bedroom in Wayne Manor.
Wayne had just woken up from the comfortable double bed. White Fang, the two-year-old direwolf, wagged his tail and pushed open the door. He kept running back and forth around Wayne's big bed, so excited. His movements ruffled the neat blankets on the ground.
After the little wolf White Fang ran back and forth for more than ten times, he saw that his master didn't seem to have any reaction. The naughty wolf immediately howled, stretched his legs, stuck out his tongue, jumped onto the soft bed, and put his The big mouth moved closer to its owner and wanted to lick Wayne's face with its wet tongue.
But before it could get closer, Wayne pinned its head to the bed. The powerful force made the little thing unable to move at all. It could only struggle while whimpering for mercy, and tried to lick Wayne's hand holding its head with his tongue.
Now that the little guy looked pitiful, Wayne let go of the increasingly dire wolf and roared like a beast.
Hearing this roar, the little direwolf immediately felt as if he had seen his nemesis. He ran out of the room with his tail between his legs.
It has been almost two years since he came to Middle-earth, and it will soon be time for Wayne to return to the world of the Witcher.
In the past two years, because there was no interference from the outside world, he was able to concentrate on practicing various skills, and most of the purpose of this trip was completed.
Among the four main skills of the witcher, the seal level and the mutation level are both maintained at their original levels due to conditional restrictions and no corresponding resources to improve them.
As for Gwent level, although he has the idea of promoting this entertainment in the Middle-earth world, because it is still early and his prestige is not enough to promote this activity, the plan has not yet started.
In the past two years, swordsmanship has been his main skill that he spent a lot of time practicing every day. Thanks to his dedicated and hard practice every day, he finally succeeded in raising his swordsmanship level from level six to level ten, and opened up his second skill specialty. , becoming the first skill among many to unlock two skill specialties.
Among the auxiliary skills, although I don’t know why, driving a magic flying carpet will also increase the riding level, but this skill has also been successfully upgraded from level 4 to level 5, opening up a skill expertise. Unfortunately, the lack of ability points makes This feat cannot be illuminated at the moment. As for Wayne's other ancillary skills, although most of them have not improved, cooking and animal training have made great progress.
Because in the past two years, Wayne's most important task was to tame the Deathclaw cub Robin, and his main method of taming it was, in addition to using animal taming techniques, to cultivate a relationship with pets through cooking and feeding. Goodwill is also one of the important ways.
It is precisely because of this that Wayne's animal training level was directly upgraded from level one to level eight, unlocking a special skill expertise, and his cooking level was also raised from level seven to level eight.
In addition, in the past two years, Wayne has accumulated a total of 600 ordinary-level treasure boxes and more than 20 expert-level treasure boxes, which are piled up in the system space and have not been opened.
The experience of nearly 700 missions has allowed Wayne to upgrade his demon hunter level from level eight to level ten. Not only has his physical fitness been slightly improved, but he has also gained two ability points that can be used to light up skills. Expertise.
Animal Taming Skill LV8: Animal Affinity +8, Master's Bond +8.
Selection of skills and expertise:
Beast Language: As a professional animal trainer, due to long-term contact with animals and long-term participation in animal training, you have understood the language of most beasts and can communicate with most beasts through language, and you can also learn more about them. Good at giving orders to your pets. Effect: Gain the ability to speak animal language and communicate with most beast languages.
Master animal tamer: As the best animal tamer, your carefully trained pets will receive more nutrition and better training, making them the best of their kind. Effect: The attributes of the pets you cultivate increase by 10%.
Faced with the two skills of animal taming, Wayne didn't hesitate much and quickly chose the first one.
Although the second feat can improve the combat effectiveness of the Deathclaw cubs, the first feat, Bestiality, is obviously more suitable for witchers who have to deal with various situations.
Just think about it, being able to communicate with all kinds of animals, then isn't the entire wild world his helper and spy?
The second specialty of level 10 swordsmanship is also very powerful.
Swordsmanship LV10: Swordsmanship power +50%.
Already possesses the feat: Cat's Agility.
Optional specialty:
Swordsmanship Genius: Long-term swordsmanship training has allowed you to discover your powerful talent for swordsmanship. You are born to be a genius in swordsmanship. Although you are still a little immature at this time, as a swordsmanship genius, you have abilities that no one else has. Comparable growth rates. Effect: Swordsmanship level improvement speed +200%.
Innate divine power: During the development of swordsmanship, you found that your strength grew far faster than other attributes. Are you also a person with natural divine power? Effect: Strength attribute increases by ten, and each time you level up, you gain two points of strength improvement.
Level 10 skills and expertise were obviously more powerful than level 5 skills and expertise, and Wayne was briefly confused as to how to choose between these two swordsmanship levels.
The former can double the sword skill improvement speed, but will not improve his strength in a short period of time.
The latter can immediately increase his strength by one-third, and add more strength attribute growth in future level upgrades.
These two skills and expertise are undoubtedly very practical skills, and whichever one you choose is very useful.
However, after careful consideration, Wayne chose the second specialty.
After all, compared to just improving the strength in swordsmanship, the strength attribute has a wider range of applications. It can not only increase one's own attack power, but also wear heavier and thicker armor.
His current weapon is a two-handed sword weighing more than 20 kilograms. Although it is relatively easy to use now, the increase in strength will undoubtedly greatly increase the power of this sword.
The ability to defeat ten with one force is also a highly respected concept in Chinese martial arts.
