Lord of War

  Cecilia, Alfred, and Anno looked at Sean.

   His gaze was full of trust, but it also made Sean feel a lot of pressure.

  Only the number of enemies seen so far, there are as many as thirty people. Except that there are about ten people guarding Taniguchi, the other twenty people are divided into five patrol teams and scattered around to patrol. Two of the teams are six people, and the remaining three teams are five people. It seemed to be led by a soldier who looked like a captain.

These soldiers are wearing standard equipment such as leather armor. There are many scratches on these leather armors, which are obviously not new armaments. The leader of the soldiers is wearing a saber, with his left hand pressed against the saber. , Looks heroic. The others behind this soldier are armed with standard equipment such as a long spear, not a pure metal spear, but a wooden gun body with an iron spear head, which can only be ordinary equipment in quality. .

  If Xiao En and others tried their best, these soldiers would absolutely not be able to resist even one round.

  But the problem is that he doesn't know what the situation in the valley is like, and he doesn't know the number of enemy troops in the valley. The only thing that can be determined at the moment is that someone wants to build an advance base here in Danawi. As for what the advance base is for, anyone with a little bit of common sense knows, but Sean does not intend to get involved in this. In a dispute.

  Shaun pondered for a long time, then turned out his personal attributes menu, which listed a lot of data. But Sean didn't look at each item. His eyes fell on the most important two items: experience points and proficiency points.

  【Experience: 91%】

  【Proficiency points: 6】

  The experience value has been stuck at this number for a long time, and it’s just a little bit before reaching the fifth level, when you can get the first curse imprint.

For the cursed swordsman, the cursed imprint is equivalent to the structure of the constructed warrior and the magic pattern of the magic warrior. The increase in power is extremely significant, except in the case of the constructed warrior and the magic warrior. Different, the curse seal swordsman can only have two curse seal engraving patterns at most, and once they are engraved, they can no longer be changed.

  So under normal circumstances, the curse seal swordsman is very cautious and careful in the selection of the curse seal.

  Because this is related to the issue of essential strength, it is an option of [Professional Talent].

  Starting from the third-tier occupation, at the fifth and tenth levels, you can get a choice of professional talents or the ability to strengthen professional talents. This is an essential force belonging to their respective professions. And if the profession is not upgraded to the fifth or tenth level, then the selection and enhancement of the professional talents cannot be obtained-the professional talents obtained at the fifth level must be for the choice of the profession, and only the tenth level can be enhanced.

At the beginning, in the game, the professional talents of other people except the players were inherited by themselves. For example, the professional talents inherited by Alfred was [tactical boxing], while Cecilia’s was [magic perception]. That's why Alfred can still use the skills of the wrestler when fighting with his fists, and Cecilia can have such a keen sense of magic.

  But the formation of these professional talents is not static. With the promotion of ranks, professional talents can be re-selected or strengthened. Only a very small number of professions cannot be selected-or it is not that it is not impossible to choose, but only such a professional talent is the most suitable for the development of the profession. .

  For example, the professional talent of the curse seal swordsman, [curse seal carving pattern].

  This kind of power is the essential power of the curse seal swordsman. Anyone who transfers to the curse seal swordsman will not give up this power, so it is inevitable to upgrade this profession to tenth level. In order not to wash away the talent of [Curse Imprint Engraving] in the subsequent higher-level transfers, they usually choose a career that has more complicated transfer requirements and will not be promoted to level 5; or it is a coincidence. In this case, get a job that can strengthen the power of [Curse Marking] to find a job.

  If it is in the game, Sean will certainly slowly sort out the most promising direction, and then move forward little by little. However, since feeling the power of the death thorn last night, Sean has no such thoughts anymore, because this world has no so-called procedures to restrict the development and thinking of others. If he does not want to die in this world, then he You must continue to improve your own strength, not the kind of leisurely attitude.

  What he can choose is the most suitable situation, not the most promising situation.

   "Assassination!" Sean said softly, his voice full of murderous aura.

   "Assassination?" Alfred looked stunned, his expression was like saying, "Are you kidding?"

  Cecilia also frowned. It was obvious that she did not approve of this approach, because it was in fact no different from suicide to some extent. Only Anno has an indifferent look, but Sean, Cecilia and Alfred all know that Anno's indifferent look is purely because this guy doesn't know the meaning of the word "assassin". But even if he knew it, he probably wouldn't care.

  Because he would think...this is a hunting activity. It was like being in an ice field, cautiously approaching the target for food, and then killing it instantly.

   "I still need a little blood." Sean said, "Cecilia, do you remember the page of the devil I put on yours?"

   "Remember." Cecilia nodded and opened the magic book that she had always carried with her. One of the pages was sandwiched between a gray-black book page, which depicted a lifelike demon.

  This is a silver scale demon, a soldier-level demon in the plane of Abyssal Purgatory, and an existence similar to the two-horned demon and the like. The shape of this demon tends to be more human, but the skin is silver-white like metal, with black-red texture and streamline on the surface, and a hideous face that is indistinguishable from other demons. It is usually used as a defensive type in the demon army. Role.

This page depicting the silver scale demon was torn from the book of the devil by Sean and kept in Cecilia’s magic book. Only in this way would the demon be summoned. . Before, Sean simply wanted to use this demon as a defensive item, but in the current situation of urgent need for strength, Sean had to consider turning it into his first curse imprint.

"I want to turn it into a curse imprint, so I need blood to sacrifice." Sean said in a deep voice, "I know you may have some opinions and opinions. After all, the demon power gained through sacrifice is not a good thing. It's just... we need strength now! Not to mention the future territory, just for the moment, we need to have enough strength to protect ourselves."

  Of course, Sean couldn’t tell Cecilia and the others that he could level up with a little experience, so he could only describe the situation in the form of a blood sacrifice. But for people in this world, things like blood sacrifices are naturally more evil. What's more, when they were in Timbersburg before, they also fought against the demonized Mario, so he also knew very well. Celia and Alfred thought, so their emotions must be appeased.

  "Will...become like...Earl Mario?" Cecilia looked at Sean with some worry.

"No." Sean smiled, and stretched out his hand to gently stroke Cecilia's hair, "It just becomes a curse imprint, it is to extract the demon's essential power, not to merge his own blood with it. So you can rest assured."

  Cecilia bit her lip and did not speak, but the uneasy color in her eyes was still obvious. Obviously, she didn't want Sean to make such a dangerous sacrifice, but for a while she didn't know what to say to refute, because the impression that Sean gave her was confident and calm, only this Once, she felt a sense of urgency in Sean inexplicably.

  But she couldn't understand what Sean was nervous about.

  As she didn’t know, there are still unreasonable organizations such as Deadthorn and crazy organizations such as the Peace Council.

"I only have one thing I want to know." Alfred raised his head and looked at Sean, looking straight into Sean's eyes, "Why do you need strength so urgently? It's not like you... Back then. Just the strength of the apprentice, I dared to go to the crypt channel to find the trouble of the ice spider, without even the slightest retreat. And later, in Timbersburg, Mario's changes were clearly beyond our reach, but You still don't have the slightest hesitation, why do you actually need to sacrifice to gain this kind of power now?"

"Because there are too many concerns and fetters now." Sean did not avoid Alfred's gaze. "From the moment I decide to become a lord, I have more responsibilities. You choose to follow me, just It is equivalent to putting your lives in my hands. Only when I become stronger and strong enough to support a sky for you, will we become safe, and our enemies will be afraid of us because of this. "

   "So, the purpose of your pursuit of power is to protect?"

"Yes." Sean nodded, "When my strength is stronger, the more things I can protect. And the more things our enemies need to worry about. Just as you desire to have a protective hope Na’s mood is the same, I also have a lot of things to guard and protect, and of course there are more promises to be fulfilled."

  For example, it is possible to face threats and assassinations from various organizations on this continent, such as the blood debt owed by the Duchy of Lembel, such as the re-flying flag on Utopia... These Sean will not say it, but he will keep it in his heart.

  So the power he pursues is not destruction and destruction, not for himself, but for protection, for the people gathered under the same banner.

   "I see." Alfred nodded, he suddenly inserted the halberd in his hand into the ground, and then knelt on one knee towards Sean, his face solemn and sacred, and his left hand clenched his fist on his chest.

  Sworn!

  This is the posture where the retainer takes the oath of allegiance. It represents the kneeling posture that officially accepts a person as his master. Sean did not expect that someone as proud as Alfred would actually swear to himself, knowing that this world is not the world of the game, so naturally there is no so-called binding, but there are some common rules. Yes, it's like the moment, and according to the rules, as long as Sean says his oath and ideals, it means that Alfred will always be loyal to him in the future.

"Hey, You Chang, I don’t understand anything, but what you say, I’ll do it." Although Anno’s brain is not very good, he still knows the feeling of the atmosphere. He sees Alfred. Kneeling, he also knelt down, but what he said was very much in line with the characteristics of a northern barbarian.

  Sean stood silently. He turned his head and glanced at Cecilia, only to see Cecilia nodded.

So Sean did not hesitate anymore. He drew out his long sword, lightly patted Alfred and Anno on the shoulders, and said with a serious and serious face: "The strong enemy is now, not afraid of it. Resolute and loyal, worthy of me, loyal and upright, would rather die than surrender, protect the weak, and never compromise! This is your oath!"

  After that, Sean waved his hand and slapped Alfred and Anno on the faces. ——This is the last step of the knight's oath, which means to keep the oath in mind.

  "Lord Lord, I, Alfred Wurster, swear to you here that I will faithfully implement your orders in this life, become a sharp blade in your hand, and wipe out all enemies that are not good to you!"

  At the end, Alfred's head was naturally lowered. Although Anno, the stupid big man, was still a little confused and at a loss, he still understood Alfred's actions-this was probably the first northern barbarian to be named a knight in history.

  Although, Sean is not a lord now, not even a nobleman.

   "I accept your oath! From now on you will be my sword and shield, and I will regard you as my family and your asylum!"
