Chapter 19: The inevitable question of qualifications
Time seems to be passing by slowly, and it’s late November in the blink of an eye.
The grass and trees withered, the rivers froze, the wharves were closed, and the serfs in various territories huddled in the manor.
The Wolo Valley has officially entered a season of desolation and silence.
In another month, those jackals who were originally hiding in the mountains will be wandering throughout the river valley.
These savage lower races do not like to store food. In the cold winter, they often rely on robbing to obtain food.
Their plundering policy is not to provoke big lords, but to specifically target small lords or civilians in the village. Therefore, the powerful lords are too lazy to take action, while the weak ones cannot defeat them.
Moreover, they are very mobile and can move to another manor immediately. The security teams in Woluo Town couldn't do anything about them.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is their way of survival. Facts have proved that this way of survival allows them to live well.
The Saldin Manor was plundered by them at the beginning of the year. This year's food harvest was bumper and there were more people. Luo Mo began to organize people to burn the earth walls.
The four sentry towers originally set up to guard against the owl beasts have been stabilized and improved, and the wall has been built with these four sentry towers as the four corners.
The knights in the manor were expanded by four new members, and the number of knights' attendants became eight.
Vincent Kurd, the former militia captain, finally got his wish and joined the knight squad this time.
Luo Mo still had a very good impression of Vincent. Although his talent is not good, he was selected three or four times before he entered the Cavaliers squad.
But he fought bravely and trained extremely hard. His character is more tenacious than others.
Luo Mo saw his own reflection in him. Everyone is a hard-working talent.
The difference is that I have trouble.
With the help of these people, Romo became more confident in fighting against the gnolls.
But after all, those jackals were numerous in number and very cunning and fierce. Even if they were prepared, they still couldn't slack off.
Only by constantly training and improving strength can we survive this winter safely.
In the basement, Lomo stood at the workbench as usual, wearing goggles and protective armor.
As the Qingshuang Great Sword released magic, he created another bottle of potion.
[Ice swordsmanship experience +2]
[Alchemy experience +4]
[Understood new potion:]
[Gathering courage: After eating, your strength will increase by 3 points, lasting 10 minutes]
[Materials: Tiger 4 grams of velvet grass, 6 grams of bloodthorn grass, 20 grams of thistle bark cheetah's heart]
[Preparation method: Juice after burning, no catalyst required]
[Side effects: There will be a brief period of dizziness after the potion is over]
Lomokan When I saw the name of this potion, I was stunned. It didn't seem to be this potion in my ancestor's alchemy notes.
Unexpectedly, my professional skills panel can actually learn new skills!
Luo Mo knew very well what the concept of strength plus 3 was. If you are a first-level knight, after drinking this potion, the power displayed will directly reach the peak of the second level.
Moreover, if used in actual combat, it may become the key to victory or defeat.
Because after the enemy becomes familiar with your strength and rhythm, they will instinctively make a judgment on your physique. When you suddenly change your physique, you are likely to catch the opponent off guard and make a fatal mistake.
Sometimes, an inadvertent mistake can decide the course of a battle.
He looked at the materials he needed and found that he didn't have any of them here.
The Thistlebark Cheetah, in particular, is another demonized creature. Lomo wasn't sure if there would be one in the eastern jungle.
There were potion drawings but no corresponding materials, which made Luo Mo a little depressed.
He is not qualified to purchase these things now. After spring, he must find a way to obtain qualifications from the city hall.
Even the materials for making Frost Spirit Potion are not much left now. It was winter now, and he had collected all kinds of herbs in the eastern dense forests. He could only wait until next year for a new harvest.
After making all the remaining materials into potions, Lomo finally stored fifty-seven bottles of potions.
He worked hard and practiced taking drugs every day. The medicine went from one bottle per day to two bottles per day.
With the help of the potion, his journey as a Dharma Rider finally made rapid progress.
On the last day of November, Luomo drank a bottle of potion and started practicing hard as usual.
[Ice Sword Skills Experience +3]
[Frost Impact Experience +4]
[.]
Two hours ago, a line of information appeared in his mind:
[Frost Impact promoted to second level]
Feeling the surge of magic power in his body, Luo Mo immediately opened Own skill panel:
[Magic Knight Level: Apprentice (to be broken through)]
[Blood Sacrifice Contract: Blue Frost Great Sword]
[Elemental Magic: 3 (Water Attribute)]
[Magic Remaining: 21%]
[Skills]
[Ice Sword Skill: 2 Level (1379/2000)]
[Frost Impact: Level 2 (2/2000)]
Seeing that the magic value reached 3, Luo Mo suddenly felt happy in his heart. From a numerical point of view, it has reached the strength of a level one Dharma Cavalry.
Like the knight's physical panel, the level of the magic knight is also improved based on the magic value.
However, the breakthroughs to be made later seem to be different from the promotion of ordinary knights.
Can't this be overcome with experience points?
Luo Mo quickly pulled out the previous sheepskin scroll and started studying it.
According to the records in the volume, he may be an apprentice Dharma Knight or a trainee Dharma Knight. They are just the initial stage of a Dharma Knight, and are essentially different from a formal Dharma Knight.
The difference is that the magic in the apprentice or trainee magic knight is drawn from magic weapons. Although this kind of magic is also its own magic, it is only superficial.
In other words, the Magic Knight itself cannot draw energy from the magic plane. They can only rely on magic weapons and their income is very limited.
When one day the magic weapon is damaged, or loses contact with the magic plane for some reason. Then all the magic moves the apprentice magic knight has learned will be destroyed.
Therefore, apprentice magic knights and trainee magic knights are not real magicians, they are just users of magic.
In other words, they're just renting magic. Like duckweed in the air, it has no foundation.
To become an official magic knight, you need to use special rituals to condense magic seeds in your body.
Magic seeds are a connection between the human body and the magic plane. Only through magic seeds can humans continuously draw energy from the plane.
The acquisition of this energy is extremely solid, and it can also feed back magical weapons. Both people and weapons can grow and strengthen.
However, this promotion ceremony is very complicated and requires the use of a water altar.
Another water altar.
The water altar cost more than 1,300 gold coins.
Luo Mo couldn't help but curse again.
He had studied this water altar before, which required various ores and crystals, as well as water essence. These things are all rare materials related to magic.
He used to think that building a water altar was a matter of money.
But after a trip to Black Rock City, he understood that this was not only a question of money, but also a question of qualifications.
Nothing can be bought without becoming a magic item trader. It is too difficult for civilians to be promoted.
It seems that after the threat of the jackals is over, it is necessary to establish contact with the city hall and start solving the qualification issue.
After a brief period of frustration, Lomo continued training.
Although you can't be promoted now, with the blessing of the skill panel, you can also practice the two existing magic skills to the extreme!
