Shadow Covenant

Chapter 40 "Choices and Outfits"

The jump of the data made Woody forget that he was still deep in the ruins of the mine, but carefully observed the data that emerged in front of him.

He first clicked on the first optional specialty with his consciousness.

As usual, three specialties that Woody is very familiar with jumped out and were displayed in Woody's eyes in turn.

The three specialties are.

"Hunting swordsmanship" (winter wolf): Demon hunters of the winter wolf school have gained valuable combat experience in long-term battles with wild beasts and monsters. Therefore, the style of swordsmanship is gradually different from that of ordinary people using long swords. Swordsmanship is even more It is mostly used to kill all kinds of monsters, and it is especially sharp when stabbing the weak points of monsters. "Sword damage +2, weak point hit +2"

"He is the favorite trading partner of fur merchants in the northern border. You can always get a lot of perfect and undamaged goods from him. Maybe you can ask him for the perfect frost bug shell you want. After all, he is A witcher—a rumor from a corner of a tavern"

"Stubborn and unyielding" (general purpose): After years of non-stop exercise, your body's vitality has been greatly improved. When dealing with fatal damage, you will get a certain level of saving throw bonus, and your constitution attribute will be permanently +1.

"In the face of the siege of undead creatures, in addition to giving up resistance, you have one more choice than other professionals, that is to "kill" yourself in advance, and the group of guys with only skeletons will treat you as the same kind "One Hundred Ways of Self-Saving for Soldiers"

"Shadow Blade" (Shadow Snake): After experiencing real fights and assassinations, the demon hunters of the Shadow Snake School finally understand that even though the training in the castle allows him to master how to act in the shadows, it is only superficial. A wealth of experience will let you know when and where to take the knife is more concealed and safer, but sometimes it is easier to kill all witnesses than to hide yourself. "Sneak Attack Damage +2, Stealth +2"

"Just like that, the only nobleman alive has gone completely mad, muttering in despair, be careful! Shadows of shadows!——Duke Bavar has been using this story to warn his heirs not to mess with the group of people who wander in the shadows The witcher in the middle."

……

Compared with the gifts given to him by the Spirit Hunting Oath, any of these three specialties is very suitable for the profession of Woody Demon Hunter.

But if combined with the current situation, Woody gave up the famous "hunting swordsmanship" and "shadow blade" of the winter wolf and shadow snake school without hesitation.

With that precious specialty point, I chose the general specialty "Indomitable and Unyielding" that most fighter professions can obtain with a certain probability after level three.

Because when he decided to become a witcher, he didn't think about choosing these two feats at level 3 in the plan, and their priority was very low.

What he wanted most was the specialty of the "civet cat" school, "expert in exorcising demons".

That specialty allows Woody to quickly recall the detailed points when fighting the spellcaster, and restore the body's reflex response to various spells and combat experience.

It is perfect for dealing with those cultists with strange abilities.

However, the unexpected "tenacity" is not bad.

After all, this specialty is also within Woody's plan, although that is after becoming a Tier [-] professional.

He never thought that he could master the most critical and important professional specialty in this melee profession so early.

When he made the plan before, he thought that after he found the astral whale, he must go to a plane called Watu.

Somewhere in the valley there, a djinn with "wish" was sealed.

He intends to use its wish spell to achieve this feat at the cost of returning him to the elemental plane of air.

Because if you want to acquire the specialty of "Stubbornness and Unyielding" by yourself, you must enter the state of near-death at least three times, and use your own will to save one death, that is, you must have a very strong will to survive.

Although Woody has the will to survive, he will not deliberately put himself in danger because of a specialty.

But now it seems that his wish can be replaced by another one at that time.

Now that he has the specialty of tenacious and unyielding, his fault tolerance rate in the next battle will be greatly improved.

And the specialty of tenacious and unyielding allows him to control the characteristics of his body no matter how bad the injury is.

Severe injuries will not cause him to lose his combat effectiveness, so that even in the face of adversity in the future, he will have a slight chance to turn around, instead of being seriously injured and only being mermaid.

After the specialization was determined, Woody focused on the following "Seal Selection" while feeling an extra endangered memory in his mind and the changes in his body.

The demon hunter's seal is actually more like a simplified spell-like ability.

However, compared with the long incantations and gestures that the caster needs every time before the "Instant Casting" feat, the Sign is much easier than ordinary spells.

Most of the spells can be done with one hand, but the spells that can be done in this way are generally not very strong.

Everything has a price, and the simplified spell is much less powerful than the normal spell.

For example, it is also a fire-type evocation spell, which is comparable to the seal level of a first-ring spell, but the damage is similar to that of a zero-ring trick.

The reason is that no matter how many levels a demon hunter reaches, his caster level defaults to the highest level 5, which is about the power of a third-ring spell.

Like the simplest first-level seal, isn't it only able to release tricks equivalent to the zero ring?

However, in the previous life, the shortcoming of being weaker than the same level was overcome by a legendary demon hunter, and it was even improved.

The power and effect of the strongest seal in hand is comparable to those of high-ring magic.

The key to this is the contract "Magic Pet".

Not those ordinary magic pets.

It is a "higher magic pet" that also has the caster level.

Similar to elf dragons and elves in the forest, or mirage dragons wandering in the desert, and arcane crystal servants buried in the ruins of the floating city are all eligible contract objects.

With the most critical specialty of high-level familiars, "Spellcasting Alliance", Woody can release spells that truly match the power of the seal with the help of the familiar's caster level every day.

……

The choice of Fayin is the same as the specialty, there are also three, but it is only two of the three.

According to the usual practice, a level 3 demon hunter can choose 2 low-level sigils.

Woody pulled his mind back and set his sights on the three seals, and saw that the three seal patterns were placed in Woody's field of vision like an equilateral triangle.

"Eye of Crows"

"Shadow Protection" and "Burning Palm".

"Eye of Crows" (Sigil): After a gesture, you can control a common crow in your palm, and your vision is shared with it for 10 minutes.

"Shadow Protection" (Sigil): After a gesture, you create a night barrier that can resist a small amount of energy damage, and after you use the Shadow Protection Sigil, your stealth ability +5
"Burning Palm" (Dharma Seal): After a gesture, a cone-shaped flame with a radius of one meter will appear in front of your palm. The temperature of the flame is between 300-500 degrees Celsius and lasts for two seconds.

It is typical to choose two of three from detection, defense, and damage.

Woody decisively chose the "Eye of the Crows" for reconnaissance and the rare magic defense seal of "Night Shelter".

Even though the Burning Palm has good damage, it can be used at some times, but compared to the other two, it is still a little mediocre.

After finishing the selection of the Specialty Seal, Woody finally looked away from the data panel.

He placed it on the brass ring he was wearing on his right index finger at the moment.

It contained all the harvest of his adventure in the old street.

Woody took out the things one by one, except for the core of the earth element that no longer exudes yellow luster, the most eye-catching thing is the long metal box with mysterious patterns drawn on it.

He didn't open it in a hurry, but carefully observed and shook it slightly, feeling whether there was any mechanism or trigger trap inside, and then patiently opened it little by little.

What caught Woody's eyes was another card.

The starting touch is much thicker than the previous phantom cards.

So there are only four cards, two of which are blank, and one illusion card with only one-third of the pattern.

The only one with a picture was a mask in the shape of a wolf's head, placed obliquely on the table.

It is written in the introduction of the card column below.

"On the night of the full moon, these erstwhile overlords of the ice fled through the houses with roaring throats, leaving nothing but blood and burning ground in their path."

Woody, who has rich experience in magic and strange things, naturally recognized this as a "dimension card" belonging to the strange things card category.

Can be used as an alternative storage space.

"If I remember correctly, it should be like this."

According to the method in memory, Woody tapped the front of the card three times, then flipped it upside down, and then shook it lightly.

The wolf-headed mask that was originally in the picture fell out.

Woody took it in his hand, without identifying the item, the information about this item appeared in Woody's mind.

Item name: Winter Wolf Mask

Item Level: Low-Level Magical Oddity

Item description: A strange item made by special processing of winter wolf body materials. After wearing it, it can increase the strength of the host and gain weak "cold resistance"

Equipment requirements: none.

Equipment effect: Strength +1, up to 20 points of strength.

If Woody's memory is correct, this should be a series of suits called "Winter's Wild Hunt". In addition to the winter wolf mask, there should be a cloak that increases physical fitness and boots that increase agility.

Combined, in addition to giving double attributes, the suit will also give the wearer a "Covenant of the Wolf" once a day

It can randomly summon wolves within ten miles and whose level is higher than the wearer's level to carry out coordinated operations.

A very nice magic item.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes locked on the phantom card with only one-third of the screen.

And, if he guessed right.

This should be the next clue to Reeves' serial mission.

Collect all the suits, and the address of the next secret treasure of Reeves will appear...

　This is probably the case with Demon Hunter Demon Reform. Anyway, I accepted what I saw here and accepted it. . .Alas, I didn't expect to understand that a magic-changing profession can directly persuade many people to quit. . .
