Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 54 Encounter

"I still have an incentive point now. Don't save this incentive point. Just use it."

Nohill opened the panel and began to search for the professional skills that a fourth-level barbarian needed to master to advance to a fifth-level barbarian. Then Nohill was surprised to find out.

"After being promoted to level four, my health has actually reached 77 points!"

This increase in health is quite terrifying. It is already far ahead of professionals at the same level. Moreover, according to the inertia reward of health given by this specialty, when Nohill reaches level five, his health will increase. The value will probably exceed 100 points!
  "Perhaps this kind of expertise related to one's own physique is the most powerful expertise. Just the increase in health brought by this [Strongness] is far beyond the improvement brought by several professional levels for ordinary professionals. ”

"It's a pity that the specialties that can be selected for incentive points are all skill-based. Specialties like this that directly affect human physique don't seem to be possible with the current panel."

Nohill looked through the expertise that the system can currently redeem. Most of them are some kind of weapon specialization, some kind of combat skills or spell-casting skills.

The reason why Nohir chose to redeem the expertise of mastering improvised melee weapons before was because this expertise is the most extensive and comprehensive, covering all melee skills.

No, it's not so much skill, but rather an instinct that makes Nohir feel comfortable using any weapon or non-weapon.

This specialty is the one that Nohill considers to be the best among all melee specialties, and this is indeed the case. This specialty has indeed lived up to Nohill's expectations and greatly improved his melee skills.

Nohill turned off the free expertise on the panel and turned on the barbarian's professional skill tree.

"Well, if you want to be promoted to level five barbarian, you need to master two barbarian professional skills."

"One is [Surge Brutal Attack], which bursts out multiple powerful attacks in a short period of time, and the other is [Swift Step] which focuses on flexible movement and dodge ability."

"Well, it's a bit troublesome. I only have one motivation point now, and I can only temporarily choose one of these two professional abilities."

"At the same time, these two professional abilities must be supported by sufficient basic attributes in order to be perfectly displayed."

"My basic attributes are very powerful. I don't have big problems with the hardware. However, my strength and constitution are one level higher than agility, which means it is easier for me to learn [Surge Brutal Strike]."

"...Then learn this trick first. For barbarians, attack is always more important than defense when both cannot be achieved at the same time."

"And I have to hurry up now. No matter what ability it is, the sooner I can acquire it, the better."

After using up the only remaining motivation point, the knowledge of professional abilities began to emerge in his mind. Nohill closed his eyes, immersed in this unique sense and gradually fell asleep.

……

Time came to the next day. There was no additional danger all night last night. After staying safe for the rest of the night, Nohill and his party set off on the road again after a short period of repairs and supplements.

After riding owlbears all day long yesterday, they stopped and ran wildly. They were far away from the green woodland. Logically speaking, the range of the Friendly Whistle had faded, but animals had the habit of migrating, so Nohir blew the whistle again.

This time they were very lucky. A moose came to help after hearing the sound. With the mount, their movement speed accelerated again. The journey that originally took at least five or six days on foot had been destroyed after these two days of traveling at high speed. Shortened by more than half.

-

That night, Nohill prepared a sumptuous meal of fodder for the moose that had carried them for a long time. Nohill also contributed a lot of fruits he brought from the green woodland. After feeding them, the moose was full. Left on his own.

Nohir flew up to the sky to check. The flat land that was easy to walk on and stable had gradually disappeared, and there was a continuous majestic mountain road in front of him. Just today, they have passed through the resting place of Gold Holding, avoiding the road to Geichen Monastery and the Shadow Curse Land, and walked on the business road called Gold Holding Sleep.

"This road is relatively rugged, but it is also the closest way to Baldur's Gate. Otherwise, you have to go north. After crossing the mountains and ridges, you have to pass through the large shadow cursed land. If you go there, not only will the road be longer, but It’s also more dangerous.”

"However, this trade road is not absolutely safe. I heard that there are many goblin marauders roaming this mountain road. You must be careful when resting here tonight."

Nohir explained to Scar that when he went to Baldur's Gate, he took a break in this area, and then ran into a raiding team composed of more than a dozen goblins.

Nohir took advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark yet, and relied on his flying ability to conduct a reconnaissance at high altitude. After finding no danger, he flew down and said to Ska, who had already chosen a place to camp.

"I'll keep watch for half the night. You can go and rest first, Scar."

Scar nodded. The long-term bareback riding was very tiring. He really needed to rest now, so he didn't say anything too polite. He simply added some food and water, and after solving his physical problems, he went straight into the camp. , fell asleep directly without taking off his armor.

For the next few hours, Nohir was thinking about his next actions by the campfire, while using his dim vision to pay attention to the surrounding movements.

Soon the first half of the night was about to pass. Nohir stood up and planned to wake up Ska for the shift. However, as soon as he stood up, his keen senses heard some rustling movements.

Nohir immediately took out his two axes, and at the same time slowly retreated, lightly kicking the tent with his feet. This weak movement alone woke up Ska. He also directly picked up his shield and mace, and slowly walked out of the tent. Walked out.

"What is it?"

Scar asked softly, and Nohir responded equally softly.

"It's very likely that it's a goblin, or it's probably a wolf."

The camping site chosen by Ska was very empty, with no hiding place within a radius of fifty meters. However, because it was a mountainous area, there were some rocks and ruins for hiding a little further away.

"It's probably goblins. The wolf won't see the fire and move forward. Be careful. If the number of goblins increases, it will still be troublesome."

Unlike the goblins that people thought of in the past, on the continent of Faerûn, the goblins are not completely unintelligent beasts. They have many categories and possess considerable wisdom.

Although most ordinary goblins are short, timid but ferocious cannon fodder, if a group of more than a dozen goblins and a group of the same number of ordinary humans encounter each other in the wild, it will often be the humans who are wiped out.

Although they are short in stature, their strength is not low. Although their limbs are short and short, they are extremely agile. Although they are timid and despicable, they are also extremely ferocious. These characteristics are clearly listed on the goblins, allowing them to dare to attack any opponent in the wilderness. Launch a raid.

click.

The sound of stone colliding with stone was clearly conveyed to Nohir's ears. Nohir hoped to look in the direction from which the sound came. In a completely black and white field of vision, he saw the thing from which the sound came.

"Not good, Scar, it doesn't seem like a goblin."

"It's a desperate dog."
