return to edgar

()Among the blurred animal silhouettes on the pitch-black pages, only the deer and the eagle have fixed forms, appearing in light gray.

Link looked at the skill book helplessly.

Judging from the current situation, we can only achieve the healing talent with two skills first, but there is no list of skills that can be used as a reference.

It's really terrible to rely entirely on imagination and exploration. What if you choose the wrong talent and open a new talent?Can't wait until the next upgrade?

After thinking twice, he chose the bark technique to strengthen his own defense.This is not only World of Warcraft, but also Druid's signature skill in many games based on Western Fantasy.Link also knew that it was a bit risky to do so. If he chose a new talent, it would be a panacea. He had no choice but to put all his chips on luck because he knew nothing.

With previous experience, this time learning skills is obviously much faster.Just imagining that the skin becomes as tough as bark, [Tree Skin] appears in the skill book, and the shape of the deer becomes clearer.

"Great!" Just as Link yelled excitedly because he was right, a white ray of light connected the three talents together, and another line of words appeared——[The Deer of Isol, of the Pillar of the Earth] Incarnation, characterized by stability, main defense, in charge of purification and healing, and a symbol of life. 】

At this moment, Link's body changed strangely.Not only the shape, but also the weight and mass have disappeared, becoming a substance between the tangible and the intangible.Then, the shadow-like and smoke-like body stretched out into a pure white stag with no blemishes all over its body, with a pair of huge fork-like antlers on top of its head.

Although the transformation took only a few seconds, to Link it seemed as long as several hours.Different from the excitement and novelty of successfully casting the spell before, all I felt this time was fear and fear.

When deformed, he can't speak, and even his thoughts seem to be stagnant.For a moment, he even thought he was dead.It wasn't until I regained my body that I felt alive again.

The vertigo came and went quickly, and Link quickly adapted to his new body. He tried to walk a few steps. The deer was very light, and he speeded up his pace and ran around the edge of the treetop a few times without feeling strenuous. The figure was already out of breath.

Not knowing how to undo the transformation, Link ran to Hull, seeming to know his purpose. The birdman asked him to restore his human form as long as he thought about it, which was as simple as summoning inheritance.

As Hull said, recovery is as easy as deformation.Link repeated the movement of clenching his fist and releasing it. Even if there was a sense of touch, he still felt unreal.It's not very comfortable when transforming, but... it's really exciting.It's like riding a roller coaster, fearful and anticipating the higher slopes.

If I learn two more eagle skills, won't I be able to fly?The excitement wiped out the anxiety, and Link held the inheritance and began to fantasize about abilities related to agility and speed. Unfortunately, no matter what he thought, there were no new spells in the skill book.

Are you running out?I only have four spell slots...

Link couldn't help being a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, he was relieved that the skills were easy and practical to learn.There are no restrictions on such awesome professions, and there is no way to mix other professions.

"How many times can it change in a day? Is it the same as the spell slot?"

After mastering the transformation, Link felt a little weak, what can a deer do?Hit people with big horns on their heads?It is difficult to cause serious damage if there is no speed but no strength, especially in games with a fantasy background, this kind of physical attack is simply negligible.

"Transformation is the core ability of the child of nature. There is no spell limit. The strength of the incarnation depends entirely on your resonance with the gods. In other words, the more abilities you have, the stronger the transformation. This is what I learned on the first day. I taught you." The last sentence Hull almost gritted his teeth.He gestured to the returning elves, and Yris handed Link the longbow and quiver he had just brought.

While curious about when the elves left, Link was also full of doubts. He was obviously the child of nature, why Hull, as a mentor, was so anxious to arrange for him to practice non-specialized shooting?

Depressedly putting the quiver on his back, Link weighed the brand new longbow. It looked like it hadn't been used before. Could it be that it was made in a hurry?He took a peek at the elf bow that Iris was carrying on his back. The two bowed backs were made into feathers, exquisite and gorgeous, far from his own.

Having never used a bow and arrow before, Link originally wanted to imitate the shooting posture he had seen in film and television works, and it took a lot of effort to fully draw the bowstring, and his heart for being handsome immediately fell to the bottom.

Too bad, how to aim so hard.

"The physique is too bad." Hull's frowning could kill a fly, "How could Isol choose such a useless guy."

"There is a reason for being selected. I think he has a very high perception. He used up all four spell slots at once. The most difficult thing for a novice is to communicate with the gods. You don't need to teach him to understand it on your own." Iris helped Link. The excuse was immediately refuted by Hull.

"No matter how high the perception is, it is useless to transform without using the core. I heard that human beings follow the law of the jungle. I really don't know how he survived until now."

Link, who was despised, felt the need to defend himself, "My job is a clerical job, and I don't need too much physical strength."

"That was before. As far as your physical strength is concerned, no matter what you become, you are the weakest. Come and demonstrate to this new candidate." As soon as Hull finished speaking, a black shadow jumped out.When Link saw what it looked like, he had already run to the other end of the tree top, and it was a strong male centaur.

The corner of Link's mouth twitched. Compared with these inhuman creatures, the top modern athletes are far behind. I'm just an ordinary person.

"Since you can't draw the bow, you can only start with the most basic physical training." Hull grabbed the bow and arrow from Link's hand and asked him to bless him with the tree skin technique.

Seeing the birdman receding further and further away, an ominous omen flashed in Link's mind.

Could it be to test my reflexes or something...

As soon as this idea came to mind, Herrla shot an arrow at him.

Damn...it's actually true!

Link dodged instinctively, and the arrow flew past his ears.Looking at the arrow that fell to the ground with lingering fear, before he could speak, another arrow arrived with the sound of piercing the air.

Fortunately, the tree skin had been opened in advance, and it was not injured by several arrows shot one after another, but no matter how hard the skin was, it still hurt.As Hull speeded up, Link was shot more and more times. If there was no tree skin, he would have been tied into a hedgehog long ago.

Iris watched from the side and shook his head again and again.

"Not to mention demons and undead, even ordinary human hunters are no match for him." Hull finally stopped, his tone and eyes were full of contempt.His gaze turned to the elf, "Iris, you overestimate this human being, he has nothing but perception."

The usual gentle smile was gone from the elf's face, "It's because you are too demanding. He is not Belfast who grew up here. He is just an ordinary person. To be chosen by the God of Nature must have his unique characteristics." Department. Don't spread your grievances on innocent people, if you can't adjust your mentality, let me be in charge of his training."

"Oh~ yes, after all, you were once a child of nature. As Isol's former envoy, it is really suitable." After finishing speaking, Hull threw down the bow and arrow and transformed into a flying gone.

"predecessor?"

Iris's expression changed from bitter to lonely: "Yes, I am the former guardian of the Pillar of the Earth."

It turns out that he can step down... But judging from his appearance, it seems that there is something inside.Link doesn't mind gossip, the story of the npc is sometimes the key to advancing the plot.

Now that it's been said, Iris doesn't intend to hide it anymore.He revealed that he was originally a royal family of glowing elves, and after the fall of the original guardian Befast, he voluntarily became the guardian of the Pillar of the Earth.In recent decades, the attack of the undead has become more and more fierce, and the glow elves have suffered heavy losses. After the death of the previous elf king, as the only young descendant born in the millennium, he is the last royal family and the new king.Because he couldn't abide by the precept that the son of nature should not be named a king, he automatically resigned from office, and Hull, who belonged to the Pillar of the Eastern Wind, was temporarily dispatched to replace the vacant guardian of the land.

After Iris said it, Link also remembered.Hull said that his body is Thunderbird, a follower of Gasos.

"Why does he hate me?" From the first meeting, Link noticed that Hull's attitude was a little strange.

Iris patted him on the shoulder, "I apologize on behalf of Hull, he didn't target you, it's just..."

"Because I'm human?" Listening to the bird man always talking about a human being, it's not difficult to guess that his bad temper is targeted.

"Yeah... because of humans, Hull's original hometown was destroyed. Belfast, the only friend he regarded, not only deviated from the way of protection, but even gave up the glory of being a child of nature. Hull hated it even more because of this Human. You have to use your own performance to win his respect. After all, the performance of human beings since the Silver Age is really difficult to win the trust of the children of nature. If your breath is not calm and blood-free, their performance will be even more excessive."

they?

Following the sight of the elves, Link discovered that there were many weird creatures standing on the top of the tree at some point, some were humanoid like centaurs, and some were completely animal forms, all of them were wearing clothes of bark or branches without exception. He looked at him with alienated and indifferent eyes, even with obvious hostility.

Are these druids?Link glanced around, but didn't see a single human being.

"For thousands of years, there have been quite a few humans who have been chosen as the children of nature, but very few have passed the test in the end. Do you know why?" Iris asked with a serious expression.

"Lose to one's own desire?" Money, power, women, longevity, the questionnaire when installing the game is not clearly written.In reality, Link can't guarantee it, but in the game, he doesn't mind playing role-playing with NPCs.

"Yes, everyone understands the truth, but few people can do it. The same is true for Belfast. He is known as the best son of nature in 500 years, but he insists on giving up the glory and responsibility of being God's Chosen." One When it comes to Belfast, Iris can't help but sigh, "The reason why the druids don't want to see you is largely because they are afraid of repeating the same mistakes as Belfast."

Link didn't care much about the undisguised hostility of the druids. These creatures follow the laws of nature and will not easily harm humans. What's more, he is the new child of nature, so he doesn't have to care about the harmless white eyes at all. .

Seeing Link's indifferent face, Iris was a little surprised, "You don't care?"

"I don't care. But... I think their thinking is a bit narrow. Humans have a short lifespan and weak physique. If they want to continue the survival of the species, they will inevitably adopt some extraordinary measures. If you can't even guarantee your own survival, don't expect humans to abide by it." The law of nature. Of course, I personally hate those who wantonly kill and destroy the balance of nature just out of boredom or entertainment." Link's words came from the bottom of his heart, and he especially hated humans destroying the ecological environment in order to obtain resources.

"The guardian of the Pillar of the Earth has been vacant for too long, and the new chosen one is human, so Hull and the druids are so anxious." Iris spared no effort to speak well for the druids, even if Link Bear the grudge.

"Actually, their worries are not unreasonable. I don't know why a good-for-nothing like me was chosen by the gods." Link's words were more aimed at the game itself. Su Wu said that only those who are dissatisfied with reality will be chosen by the game.He doesn't have any dissatisfaction, he just wants a peaceful life, not throwing it away at any time.

"Apiki?"

Oops, I said it unconsciously.

"It's the vernacular of my hometown. It basically means a game of playing different roles, like a drama. I never thought that I would have such an exciting life before. I thought I would grow old in an ordinary way." Link's face remained unchanged. I'm afraid that such rhetoric will not be able to get away with it.According to his observation, the npc in the game also has a very high IQ.

Iris didn't speak, staring at Link with emerald green eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Can't let this dangerous topic continue, Link tried to divert the attention of the elves, he asked why the Son of Nature didn't have a spell book like a mage, and it's unreliable to communicate with the gods only by imagination, what if you choose the wrong one? Isn't it a waste of spell slots?

Iris laughs that Link still doesn't understand the essence of the Son of Nature.Obtaining the power of the gods of nature one by one through the approval of the gods, and becoming their spokesperson and incarnation in the material world, this is the essence of the children of nature.

Link was dumbfounded. Doesn't it mean that one should fully master a certain talent, at least most of the skills, before learning other talents?

"Of course, do you think Hull warned you not to be greedy and learn more because you simply hate you? There have been real cases before, where you were greedy and learned a little bit of each talent, but in the end you ended up knowing everything, just not Jing , In the face of a powerful enemy, there is no way to fight back."

Fortunately, I only learned one wrong eagle eye, and this skill is also considered practical.Link was glad that he wasn't greedy to practice three cultivations and four cultivations. If he messed up a bit, it would be too late to cry now.
