return to edgar

() With Iris's suggestion, Link became more determined to cultivate Isol's talent first, but he was worried that only relying on healing and auxiliary skills would not have enough attack power, so he begged Iris to say more about talents thing.

It's hard to say clearly in a few words, the elf brought Link to the middle of the guarded ancient tree, which is a large-scale library.In the hollow tree trunk are stacks of handwritten documents made of bark and leaves, some are scrolls, some have been made into books, and in order to prevent confusion, they are specially packed in wooden boxes and hung with a label indicating the contents.History, geography, humanities, and species distribution are all available. There are too many, and Link is dazzled.

"Here is a collection of handwritten documents of the previous Sons of Nature and Druids. The records are much more comprehensive than human beings. If you don't understand anything, you can find the answer here." The elf pointed to the middle stack and said that it was The 'talent' that Link wants to see.

Finally, there was no need to choose blindly. Link excitedly picked up the top roll, which was marked [Gasos’ Eagle], and he drew another roll, [Isol’s Deer], that’s it!

In the long list of skills, in addition to the natural healing, requiem, and breath of life that are related to healing at a glance, there are also attacks written with stone characters such as earth spear, earthquake, rockfall, and petrification. Skill.

Fortunately, this talent is not all treatment.

While secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Link was worried about the upgrade issue.With the experience just now, he didn't dare to use game vocabulary such as tasks and upgrades to talk to npcs anymore.

"Is there any way to increase the spell slots? I can't just rely on the four abilities I learned today to complete the important task of guarding the pillar?"

Relying on his experience in writing web articles, Link made up a rhetoric that couldn't find any loopholes.Iris really took the bait. He told Link that in addition to guarding the pillar, the Son of Nature's responsibilities include patrolling the territory, maintaining the barrier, and maintaining the balance of species.It can be improved in self-cultivation and combat, and the ability is enhanced, and the spell slots will naturally increase.

Sure enough, I still have to rely on killing monsters to earn experience... But there are no monsters near the guarding ancient tree, why can't I go to the forest to kill small animals?If you really do that, it is estimated that it will be wiped out by Iris and Hull before it has been upgraded.

Link skipped the ignorant task of maintaining barriers and maintaining species balance, and patrolling the territory was probably the only task he could do so far.It can not only find out the nearby map but also gain experience. It kills two birds with one stone. I don’t know if Iris is willing to help...

"It's not locked here. You can come anytime you want. Your priority now is to exercise your physical fitness." Taking the scroll from Link's hand, Iris took him back to the broad treetop for training.

Watching Iris raise the elf bow, Link knew that even if he opened his mouth, he would probably be rejected.Forget it, it's better to finish the initial training first before talking about patrolling.

Compared with the arrows that can be tracked automatically, Birdman Hull's accelerated arrows are not enough to look at.Link, who transformed into a white deer, ran on the circular training ground, sometimes speeding up and sometimes braking sharply, in order to avoid Iris' superb archery skills.He was still very interested at the beginning, but after about half an hour, he couldn't take it anymore.No matter how light and dexterous the incarnation is, the essence cannot be separated from the original body. As an otaku who doesn't exercise very much, his lack of exercise will soon defeat him.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

My body was so heavy that I couldn't move.

Panting, Link stopped. What Hull said was right, he was indeed weak, and he was complacent after learning a few skills.This is a world set by high demons, and there are too many creatures that can cast spells.

Iris stopped shooting, neither taunting nor comforting like Hull.

"Did I embarrass the previous guardians..." The transformation did not affect his speech, Link was determined to exercise his physical fitness, and he couldn't use up all his spell slots in battle and wait to die.

"The physique of human beings is indeed much weaker than that of other species. This is an innate gap. You need to spend more time training than other selected candidates." Iris raised his hand and shot a green light. The moment he was enveloped, Link Feeling the return of the physical strength lost by running.

This feeling... is natural healing?

Link experienced it once when he learned the skill, and he clearly remembered that it was a natural healing that could eliminate abnormal states.Hasn't Iris already been blessed, how can he still use the skills of the Son of Nature?

"The healing of nature is not exclusive to the children of nature. Just like Hull, who was born as a bird, does not need to waste a spell to learn to fly. The healing of nature is a natural ability of elves."

Iris' answer made Link extremely depressed.Human beings are raised by stepmothers, so they can't take advantage of any advantages, and high light perception is useful.

This kind of physical training continued until the sun went down. In order to replenish Link's physical strength, Iris used up ten spell slots.

After receiving the order to rest, Link, who recovered his body, was so tired that he slumped on the ground, not even wanting to move his fingers.At this time, Iris took out something wrapped in leaves from the package he was carrying, and the unique aroma of food overflowed.

"This is a pancake specially made by the elves, and one piece can be enough for a day's food needs."

Holding the food sent by the elves, Link felt uneasy.He didn't expect that the game also needs to eat.In order to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future, I asked Iris about the daily diet of the Son of Nature.

"I really doubt that you are a Sea Clan who came out of the maelstrom. Although the Son of Nature lives in seclusion, he still maintains a certain amount of contact with humans. You don't even know this kind of common sense knowledge." Fortunately, Iris is very patient. Alright, take the trouble to explain to Link, "The Son of Nature who advocates the way of balance abides by the laws of the world, supports hunting for survival, and there are no mandatory regulations on board and lodging. You can keep your own ethnic habits."

Fortunately, there is no taboo against killing and eating meat, Link has no interest in being a vegetarian. The things made by the elves are different. They not only smell delicious, but also melt in the mouth when eaten. The super high sense of reality makes him even want to swallow his tongue.

Just as Link was savoring the delicious pancakes, Iris picked up all the scattered arrows. Looking at his actions, Link had a bad feeling.

No, do you want to continue?

"You've almost exhausted your energy today, so we'll practice shooting tonight."

Hearing that the training will continue in the evening, Link breaks down and thinks, I complained about Hull's bad attitude before, so it turns out that the real devil coach is Iris.

The light emanating from the guarding ancient tree itself made Link even have no excuses for 'I don't want to shoot in the dark'. Unwilling to give up, he prevaricated by 'never learned how to shoot arrows' and 'not enough arm strength'.

"It doesn't matter, you try to shoot an arrow first." Iris handed out his weapon, unable to evade it, Link could only accept his fate and take the elf bow.

This gorgeous and exquisite weapon is unexpectedly light and light, basically weightless, and it feels like plastic in the hand.Unlike the ordinary longbow used before, it didn't take much effort to draw the full bow.

"The wind language is blessed with spells, which will greatly reduce the power required to draw the bow." The elf retreated while talking.

"It's not good for beginners to use such a weapon? Once you get used to it, it will be difficult to adapt to ordinary crossbows." Without a suitable shooting target, Linka took the bow to aim around.

"That's why I said it was a trial. When your physical strength increases, the gap caused by the spell blessing can be ignored. Of course, you must use a normal bow to practice, but with your current physical strength, just pulling it apart is enough. It is very difficult, and it is even more difficult to aim. The purpose of letting you use this bow is to practice the necessary skills of shooting first, and you don't want to spend most of your training time and energy on drawing the bow and aiming superior."

Iris's analysis was thorough, and Link had nothing to say.

"Where is she going? You have to give me a goal."

The elf, who had retreated far enough, waved at him.

live target?

Link immediately understood the opponent's intentions.

This is not a shooting game made up of data, but a living creature that can be seen and touched. Even if he knows that the other party is just an npc, Link doesn't dare to practice using him as a target.

"Don't worry, I can't hurt me with human skills. Come!" Iris waved his hand again, and his words dispelled Link's worries.

That's right, the elves are known for their agility, and my level certainly can't threaten his life.

Link took a deep breath, drew the bow, aimed, she!

"噗——" After the bowstring made a light sound, the arrow only flew forward about 20 meters before falling to the ground.

"Pff~haha~" Iris laughed loudly, and the embarrassed Link wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"Okay, I'll make a correction. The magic of this bow can be easily pulled away by anyone, but the strength and accuracy of the shot depends entirely on the user. Your strength is not enough, so naturally you don't have much range , Let’s start with the most basic practice.” With a light footstep, Iris, who was about 50 meters away, flashed to Link’s side in an instant, helping him to assume the correct posture for shooting: “First of all, your stance is wrong. Stand sideways with your feet shoulder-width apart, keeping your weight evenly on your feet and shifting your weight forward a little.”

"Don't look at me, keep your eyes straight ahead. The height of your arms is at the level of your eyes, your shoulders should sink naturally, and you should adjust your breathing. You will know how to aim as you practice more."

Snapping Link's head back into its proper position, Yris retreated to where the first arrow had fallen.

Maintaining the posture taught by the elves, Link shot again, which was slightly better than before. Although the speed and strength were not up to standard, he still flew in the direction of Iris, and he easily shot the weak follower Arrow catches.

"Yes, there is progress. Shooting arrows is actually very simple, you just need to practice constantly. What you lack most is physical fitness. Ordinary bows don't have spell blessings."

Iris' words made Link very frustrated, and he returned to the topic of physical fitness.

correct!How could I forget Hawkeye, with that skill it should be easy to aim.

Maybe it was because the expression was too obvious, Link was stopped by Iris before he could use it.

"No! Eagle Eye can certainly help users catch enemies, but once you get used to this convenience, your combat effectiveness will be no different from that of ordinary people when you can't use it. This violates my original intention of teaching you shooting." Iris demanded Link steadily completed every basic training.

Doing boring physical training all the time made Link a little impatient. After listening to Iris' persuasion, his dissatisfaction calmed down.

Forget it, real-life rpgs are no different than ordinary data games, there are no background commands, you still practice honestly, it's right to exercise your body.

He practiced until all the spell slots of Iris were used up before he announced the end of today's class.

Link, who returned to the tree house, thought in his heart that instead of lying in a daze, he might as well go to the library to find a few books to pass the time.Anyway, you don't need to sleep in the game, and you can spend your night time on supplementing 'common sense knowledge'.

Just when he got up and was about to put his thoughts into action, suddenly his eyes went dark and he fell straight to the ground.When Link regained consciousness again, he was surprised to find himself back in reality, lying face down on the cold living room floor.The sound of even breathing in the bedroom indicated that Su Wu was still asleep, and it was still dark outside the house. Combined with the pain from his shoulders and the back of his head, he came to an embarrassing conclusion that he accidentally rolled off the sofa because he turned over And awake.

Rubbing his sore head, Link sat back on the sofa.

It turned out that Su Wu's warning was not an exaggeration. Fortunately, when he woke up, the game happened to be in the rest period. If he encountered such an emergency during daytime training, without mental control, the least serious injury would be flesh and blood. With luck, he might be shot into a hedgehog.

Considering that the phone ringing might wake people up, Link turned off the phone directly.

Originally, he was a little skeptical about Su Wu's words, but after going through the magical process of learning skills, Link finally understood how incredible this game world that only existed in dreams was.But right now is not the time to enjoy the excitement of live-action games. He has to complete the basic training quickly and meet Su Wu in Hegu Town. The boy Yuan Ye is still trapped.

Link, who promised his sister to save people, has not forgotten his original purpose of playing.He was too engrossed in thinking, and when he fell asleep again and returned to the game, the sky was already bright.

Iris, who came to wake Link up for morning exercise, saw him lying on the ground as soon as he entered the tree house.

"Haha~ I accidentally fell down..."

Link got up in embarrassment. Since today's training hadn't started yet, he wanted to upgrade and asked Iris to take him to inspect the border.The reason is that you can not only exercise your physical fitness, but also understand the tasks of responsibility.

Iris only thought for a few seconds before agreeing to the proposal that killed two birds with one stone.The first patrol area he chose for Link was the western border. With a rookie who knew nothing, Iris did not dare to go to the dangerous south and north areas.As the corner closest to the extreme west, it is considered the safest border of the Guardian Land.

The so-called guarded land is actually the area radiating from the 'pillar' as the center, and it is a restricted area that is not allowed to enter except for the children of nature, druids, and natural creatures.
