You call this a shield?

It seems that the bandit leader when we first met, the guy with the blood of the barbarian, tried to further explore the skills?

How was it triggered?

"What is the trial of the sword?"

Do you remember asking this question in your head?Sheld tried it, and the system panel did respond to his expectations. There was an extra line of comments under Neveu's skill panel.

"Trial of the Sword (Jugmaster): The ultimate trial available to very few Juggernauts. In the passive state, a random attribute will get a debuff effect and will no longer increase. The weapons that can be used are limited to designated weapons (seals). After breaking through level 10, the trial is over, and all attributes will be doubled."

"Under the active state, the seal of the only usable weapon will be removed, and the end of the trial of the sword will be gained for a short time. Every 1 point of intelligence can maintain this effect for 1 second, and the consumed intelligence cannot be recovered."

"The effect of this skill is invisible due to trials."

Shield: "..."

Isn't this really a curse?

Sheld suddenly felt that his aegis user was pretty good, at least, it wouldn't reduce its attributes to zero.

Moreover, won't the attached active mode really kill people?Who can stand the hard buckle of attributes directly?Isn't this shit a one-time skill?

And Neveu doesn’t know whether it’s because of bad luck or good luck... You can’t say it well, this skill is considered a rare skill, and the attribute is randomly reduced to intelligence. After all, other attributes, physical fitness will be reduced. Die, I can't even hold the sword if I lose my strength, what will happen if I lose my agility? Sheld doesn't know, will he become like a sloth in the crazy animal city?

In short, it seems that the reduction in intelligence is still within an acceptable range.

But you have to say, if Neveu didn't have this skill, he might already be a very powerful sword master. The only active skill that can be used, the skill effect is hidden, and it happens to require intelligence.

"This is a test that ordinary sword masters can't bear..."

Shields came to a conclusion.

"finish watching?"

Neveu waited patiently for a while, seeing Sheld lost in thought for a long time, finally couldn't help but mention something.

"finish watching."

"So, did you find anything?"

Neveu took the sword down and leaned on her chair. She asked this question as a casual joke, "I have found other professionals who are Juggernauts before, but they are not the same as me. Professionals This is relatively rare, and the Juggernaut is even less, so I am not sure whether I am a different kind or he is a different kind."

According to the skill description, obviously you are!

But Shelder would not say it directly with such a lack of EQ. After grasping the poor information, of course he must make the best use of it!After Sheld figured out the skill "Trial of the Sword", he had an immature idea in an instant.

"Then, Miss Neveu, you don't want to just sink in this way, do you?"

"Sinking..."

Neveu sighed, and then smiled helplessly: "Maybe, sometimes I think, if I can be an ordinary adventurer, I am also satisfied as a mercenary, and I can support myself every day, instead of being like a mercenary." Now it’s like this, you can’t get high or low.”

"Perhaps, the expectations can be higher? You have the opportunity to become a more powerful adventurer, a 'real' professional."

"What do you mean?"

Neveu frowned, Sheard's suddenly mysterious tone made her a little uncomfortable, especially the look of "I understand everything", which was exaggerated.

"Come with me, no matter how much you say, it is better to try."

"Where?"

"Come on, look at my arms and legs, what else can I do to you?"

"really."

Although Neveu made an empirical mistake at this time, there is nothing wrong with it in the eyes of those who do not have an attribute panel.

In fact, Sheld looks like a harmless guy with no power to restrain chickens. He is placed in another time and space. How do you describe it in a word?White-faced scholar!

"Although you said you were an adventurer, you probably just registered?"

"That's really hurtful. I'm someone who has taken risks after all."

Sheld said haha, not only have I taken risks, we are also at the same level, right?The two of them went out one after another like this, and walked towards the outside of the city.

"Speaking of which, how did you get your sword?"

"After sleeping, it will appear next to my pillow when I wake up."

"Tsk..."

Shield had doubts about the remarks behind the investigation skills. Didn't Almi send them there on purpose?Forgot, I'm afraid not necessarily.

"Are we heading in the direction of Demon Realm?"

"Indeed, after all, some things don't fit in the city."

"If you encounter a monster, I protect you, and you have to pay me extra." Neveu squinted and said, "Although you invited me to dinner, when you asked the question before, a sale was made, do you understand?"

"How many gold coins?"

"That's not necessary. It depends on the price of the monster. If you can't beat it, I will leave you and run away."

"Not even a few gold coins?"

"That must have life flowers."

Sheld laughed. This female swordsman is a bit cute outright. Generally speaking, employers who really want to be guarded definitely don't want to hear such words.

Neveu rolled her eyes slightly behind Sheld. Sure enough, this guy is a kid from a rich family who came out to play, but... a few gold coins!If you can get a few gold coins, you can repair the Sauder Welfare Institute and give those guys a lot of delicious food.

For a moment, Neveu fell into a brief absence.

"Okay, here we are."

The familiar discomfort enveloped his body like sea water, causing Sheld to shake his arms involuntarily to ensure that his body was not bound by strange things.

After less than ten days, he stepped into the Demon Realm again.

"And then, what's next?"

Neveu crossed her arms and looked at Sheld who was looking around.

"To be honest, I'm not familiar with this at all."

Sheld turned his head and said with a sneer, "Where are there monsters around here?"

"Monster?"

Neveu didn't react for a while, you know, they were still talking about the price of a monster a few minutes ago-to be honest, this is a relatively dark algorithm, but it is also a convention.

Unless you specify, "Today I need you to protect my safety in the Demon Realm, how much is it for a day", then it will be a relatively favorable day, week, or month subscription.

Otherwise, let's talk about it.

Usually, there is also the scope of the magic domain business, such as the price of going deep into the magic domain and the price of the edge of the magic domain, which are definitely different, and this must be negotiated in advance.

This is why everyone uses the "semi-official" channel of the Adventurer's Guild. If it is private, there will be no protection. You, who have no power to hire a guard, have no idea whether this guy in front of you will betray his promise .

As Neveu said before, if you encounter someone you can't beat, you will definitely give priority to running for your life.

Note that it is the priority to escape, not the priority to escape with the employer.

this point is very important.

"This kid really wants to spend money?"

Neveu felt a little guilty, but how can there be no reason not to make money from the money delivered to your door?

"From here, go north, and after you go deep, you will find the Great Desert of Ampken, where adventurers usually don't go there, and there are no supply stations along the way, so there are relatively more monsters."

"Going east will go deep into the Demon Realm, which is also a good choice, but I can't guarantee your safety."

"There are fewer monsters in the south, where novice adventurers try their hands. If you just want to do an experiment, go to the south."

After all, Neveu still couldn't bear to treat Sheld pure as a winner, so she said too much: "I suggest you hire me, it's only 3 silver coins a day, of course you have to deal with the meal."

"Pack you up?"

Sheld glanced at Neveu in surprise, first thinking that the girl's words were really bold, and then understood what the other party meant.

"That's not necessary."

"All right, if you insist."

Saying that, Neveu walked towards the south.

"Eh? Where are you going?"

"Aren't you going to the south?"

"Who said to go to the south?" Sheld pointed to the side: "Let's go to the north."

Just kidding, of course it is to find a location with more monsters!Why are you hunting monsters with a group of novices, two professionals!If it's something that ordinary unprofessional adventurers can solve, then why try?

So, with Neveu in a dazed state, the two headed straight north.

Originally, I could occasionally meet some adventurers on the road, especially when going out of the gate, but now, as we go north, it is true that as Neveu said, there are fewer and fewer adventurers, and the vegetation is gradually growing. Rare and low.

There are also more monsters.

It didn't take long for Shield to spot a good target.

"investigation."

"Mutated monster, red-skinned troll. Monster rating: Adventure level. Skills: berserk, high-speed regeneration. The current state is good. Goddess' evaluation: It was just an ordinary green-skinned troll, harmless to humans and animals, with a completely ferocious appearance. Different gentle personalities are friendly, near-intelligent species, and now, the appearance is the same."

The appearance is the same as God's riding a horse!

Sheld gritted his teeth, the guy who was eating the corpse of some kind of creature not far away looked not easy to mess with, similar to the trolls in the previous game, the difference is that the trolls here are stronger, It looks even more savage, with a tuft of hair like the mane on the neck of a horse, extending from the top of the head to the tailbone.

The five fingers were as strong as a human hand, and the sharp claws could easily tear off pieces of meat from the animal's corpse.

"Okay, that's our goal."

Sheld pointed at the troll: "Have you ever fought against this kind of monster before?"

"No."

Neveu shook his head repeatedly.

"You expect me to knock on this thing with the scabbard? In other words, if you want to die, you can go up by yourself. Out of the friendship of that meal, if you are not eaten as food, I can help you recover the body."

"You said earlier that the meal was evened out."

Neveu immediately stopped talking, held back for a long time, and finally said hesitatingly: "The price... the value is not equal, the questions you ask are too worthless..."

Well, not bad, honest, suitable to be a teammate.

At this point, Sheld felt that he had a rough idea. He could offer a more favorable employment plan, and he could take the initiative to say that a luxurious meal was not equal to the question he asked.

At least from a conscience point of view, he is a good guy.

"Of course I won't let you just go up and kill this guy."

Sheld shook his head, and took out a bottle of potion as blue as the clear sky in his hand. With the shaking of his hand, the liquid in the glass bottle would emit a little bit of starlight from time to time.

"Drink it and go."

"Do you think I will suddenly drink a potion given by a stranger? In this kind of place?"

Although this potion looks very beautiful, it is like a mushroom in the forest, bright and beautiful is not necessarily a good thing.Neveu took half a step back to show her vigilance.

"I expected you wouldn't drink."

Sheld uncorked the bottle of the potion and sniffed it himself.

Um?A familiar smell.

But Neveu kept watching, and he would look embarrassed if he hesitated, so he just smiled and gulped it into his mouth.

Some sandy bubbles, with a slightly sweet taste, the fragrance of lemon...

Intelligence attribute jumps from 30 to 20, and then from 20 to 30.

Drank but not completely.

And this taste... Sprite?The corner of Shield's mouth twitched. Although he hadn't drank it for a while, it was definitely Sprite, right?And it’s the one with Zero Sugar Fiber+.

Anyway.

Sheld wiped his mouth, showing his white teeth, and took out another bottle of the same potion: "Look, are you okay?"
