Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 168 Magic Equipment
Misty morning.

In the upper part of Pushang Town, the top of the tower is covered by mist.

"Ding!"

Consume 30000 experience points!
Sword intent comprehension progress: +1%!

Obtain practice points: 15000 points!
……

"As expected." Thorn, whose whole body was covered in hoarfrost, sat cross-legged on the top of the tower shrouded in mist, slowly opened his eyes, watched the changes in his own attribute interface, and whispered to himself.

"I didn't realize until now that when I left Cold Winter City, the old man Nine Swords gave me such a precious gift." Looking at the progress of comprehending the sword intent, Thorne couldn't help but sigh again.

Sword intent comprehension progress: 6%.

At the beginning, after he successfully worked part-time as a swordsman profession, he continuously raised the level of this profession to level 4, which directly increased the comprehension progress of sword intent by 4%, and he himself also obtained 40000 practice points.

Afterwards, he raised the professional level of the Sword Daoist by one level again, and gained 1% comprehension progress and 10000 practice points.

Originally, Thorne thought that the only way to improve the comprehension progress of the sword intent and gain practice points was to increase the professional level of the swordsman.

Unexpectedly, his unintentional and simple attempt this morning actually succeeded.

Let him understand that the level-up experience obtained can improve the progress of sword intent, and at the same time let him know that the practice points obtained by increasing the progress of sword intent comprehension are not static.

The practice points obtained from 0% to 5% are 10000 points.

Then, the practice point to increase from 5% to 10% should be 15000 points. As for the future, you need to try to know, but it must be gradually improved.

The role of experience points for players is unquestionable. Having a huge amount of experience points is the basis for each player to develop to a high level.

If the experience value is the outline of the human body, then the practice point is the inner core of the human body. The experience value determines how tall the human body can grow, and the practice point determines whether it is an inferior building. For a real strong man, the two are almost indispensable.

Therefore, the role of practice points for players is also very important, because it is a shortcut for all players to quickly improve their special abilities and learn various skills, including the wizard's spell learning and Thorne's nine sword moves.

If a wizard player wants to master spells quickly, there are two ways:
One is to build a spell model by learning the spell knowledge you want to master, spend a lot of energy and time to successfully build the spell model, and finally master the use of spells.

The second method is much simpler, as long as you have complete knowledge about recording this spell and enough practice points, then you can immediately and permanently master the method of using this spell.

Although the second method seems convenient and quick, the premise is that you have enough practice points, which is why the experience value gained by Thorne every time he kills a monster is nearly ten times different from the practice points.

For example, if you can get 3 experience points for killing a Gnoll with a challenge level of level 150, then you can only get 15 practice points at most.

From this we can see the difficulty of obtaining practice points.

However, the sword intent bestowed on Thorn by the old man Nine Swords was a shortcut for him to obtain a large number of practice points.

Although the practice point can be obtained by constantly honing one's own skills or mastering knowledge besides killing monsters, but compared with the speed at which his sword intent is obtained, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

Originally, after becoming a swordsman, Thorne sometimes felt distressed by the lack of practice points, worrying that he would not be able to master more Nine Swords moves based on his own training progress.

Now, with a method that can be used to convert experience points, the last worry in his heart was immediately eliminated.

Then Thorn looked at the experience points and practice points on the attribute panel:
XP: 73241
Practice points: 37102
The accumulated data are all the experience points and practice points he has gained since leaving Twilight Town, the battle with the lizardmen, the fight with the ogre wizard and the leader of the wolf man in the valley, and the exploration of the tower yesterday. .

Thorne pondered for a while, and after wandering for a while between the main professional ranger and the part-time swordsman, he finally chose to raise the ranger's level to level 7 first.

"Ding!"

Consume 58500 experience points to upgrade the ranger level!
The ranger level has been raised to level 7!
Gain 5 skill points and increase HP by 9 points!
Obtain occupational characteristics: wear forest!

The first-ring magic spell +1, the second-ring magic +1.

……

[Walk through the forest (special ability): As a ranger who relies on nature, you have adapted to life in nature and have been recognized by nature. The natural aura exuding from your body allows you to walk through any kind of shrubs at a normal speed clump without taking any damage. 】

Note: Prickly plants, thorns, or dense jungles still impede your movement if they are caused by the caster's magic.

This special ability is why Thorn chose to upgrade the ranger professional level first.

As a ranger who has been walking in the wilderness all year round, the most troublesome thing for him is the dense jungle and shrubs.

It was only a trivial matter that the sharp branches scratched his clothes, but the main impact was that it seriously hindered his movement speed, especially when running away and tracking prey.

And after he has the special ability brought by his own profession of "Piercing the Forest", even if he walks among the thorny plants covered with thorns, it will not affect his movement speed or receive any damage at all.

A ranger with this special ability can make him exude a very special aura close to nature when he travels through the jungle, which indirectly proves that the plants in nature are alive, and they feel this kind of closeness. After taking a breath, they will all avoid it.

Then Thorne looked at the practice point at point 37102, and made the choice he had planned long ago without hesitation.

He first used 15000 practice points to activate the third-level moves of the Shadow Hand School, and then directly in the third-level moves of the Shadow Hand School, he spent another 15000 practice points to master a striking technique called "Shadow Twist".

"Shadow Twister" is to use the energy of the shadow to create a shadow rope about 20 meters long to attack the opponent. The main function of this rope is to entangle the enemy so that it cannot move.

This highly condensed shadow energy also has a paralyzing effect. Any creature that touches the shadow rope must make a strong saving throw. If the judgment fails, it will be paralyzed for a few seconds.

The effect is somewhat similar to the wizard's fourth-ring spell "Shadow Tentacle". It is Thorne's second control skill in the true sense besides the ranger's first-ring magic "Entanglement". This is why Thorne will not hesitate. The main reason for choosing this skill.

Then, Thorne looked at the remaining 7102 practice points, and after thinking for a while, he spent them on the first-level strike skill "Nightmare Sword·Sapphire" of the Steel Soul School.

This move belongs to the most basic and important strike skill of the Steel Soul School.

Its role is mainly reflected in the battle with highly skilled enemies, by reading the opponent's attack action, to seize the right time to attack the enemy's defense gap.

In other words, even the strongest defense, in front of the keen insight of the Steel Soul School, still has gaps to exploit.

The reason why Thorne has not taken the moves of the Steel Soul School as the main improvement object, but mainly focused on the Desert Wind School, is that the enemies he faces are different.

The moves of the Desert Wind faction mainly focus on the area-of-fire damage, especially when dealing with humanoid creatures in the wilderness, this effect is most obvious.

The moves of the Steel Soul faction are reflected in the individual confrontation with skilled characters.

If he chooses to focus on the Steel Soul faction, then when faced with a large number of humanoid creatures, no matter how strong the individual is, the massacre will be more laborious.

After all the practice points were allocated, Thorne allocated all the 5 skill points obtained from the upgrade to the "Focus" skill, which directly increased it to 24 points.

The level of "Concentration" skill affects his success rate of using "Perfect Spirit" to resist various control spells that require determination of will. Naturally, he dare not be careless about this.

After all adjustments were made, Thorne's mind moved, and with the activation of the "Desert Fire" specialty, his whole body was immediately enveloped in a light orange flame, and the hoarfrost covering his body was also evaporated into mist by the high temperature at a speed visible to the naked eye, and dissipated in the air middle.

Then Thorne sat casually on the top of the tower, admiring the misty scenery below. It was the first time for him to sit at such a high place to watch the beautiful scenery, and he naturally wanted to feast his eyes.

This lasted for a while, and the sound of light footsteps came to Thorn's ears from far and near, interrupting his meditation.

"I knew you would be here. How about it? Is the view on the top of the tower nice?" Anderina looked at Thorn who was sitting on the top of the tower enjoying the scenery, smiled lightly, and asked casually as she sat beside him.

"Climbing up and looking far away, it's indeed a special experience." Noticing Andelina beside him, Thorne sighed involuntarily.

"Part of the loot you looted belongs to you. Now return it to its original owner. Let's see if you are satisfied." Andrina took Thorne's right hand, took out a dimensional bag and put it in his palm, and said with a smile.

Since he didn't know much about the mystical knowledge of magic, all the trophies left by the wizards in the tower were handed over to Anderina. After the final appraisal, the two would distribute them.

Looking at the dimensional bag in his palm, Thorne naturally put it away unceremoniously, and then began to check the contents with curiosity.

It turned out to be a ring and a ring.

Noticing the two magic equipment in the dimension bag, Thorne's eyelids twitched, and a look of joy appeared on his expression.

The shape of the force field protection ring is a platinum ring engraved with a small shield.

The Ring of the Insighter is a dark blue ring with a white pearl inlaid on the ring, which looks like an eye on a finger.

Ring of Force Field Protection
Type: jewelry

Quality: blue extraordinary

Medium protection aura: mage armor (3/3 times per day), deflection force field (1/1 time per day)
Watcher's Ring

Type: jewelry

Quality: blue extraordinary

Medium divination aura: detect traps (3/3 times per day), see invisibility (1/1 times per day)
……

"10000 gold coins, why are there so many?" Immediately afterwards, Thorne noticed a large pile of gold coins in the dimensional bag, looked up at Andelina who was looking at him with a smile, and asked in surprise.

10000 gold coins is indeed a lot of money for him.

With this amount of money, at least the cost of going to the Temple of Melikai to perform the natural transformation ceremony is enough. At that time, he will have the ability to cast the second-ring magic, which can be regarded as a great improvement in his strength.

"What a fuss, you can't imagine the expenses and expenses of a wizard. In fact, for a high-level wizard, 10000 gold coins are not enough for them to learn a five-ring spell. This dead wizard is already very poor."

Seeing Thorn's changed expression, Andelina explained to him with a smile.

"That's true." Thorne put the ring and the ring on his finger respectively, showing a look of surprise.

Anderina smiled when she saw Thorne's satisfied expression, and suddenly thought of something, and said in a melancholy tone:

"The banshee who was transformed into an entity is the high elf girl mentioned in the wizard's last words: Kefla Jolenov. Although she lost all her memories of her life, when she saw the dragon lord's The tears still couldn't stop streaming down the corpse."

"Actually, it's good if you lose your memory, at least you don't have to be in pain all day long." Thorn pondered for a moment, looked at the upper city covered by various miscellaneous trees, and sighed:

"When I go down, I will bury the corpses of the wizard and the dragonborn lord. No matter whether the wizard committed any crimes during his lifetime, he is just a poor man with a twisted mind."

Andrina nodded in agreement with Thorn's opinion, and then stared at him quietly with watery eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she gently hugged Thorn's arm, leaning her body on his shoulder while taking advantage of the situation, and together Admire the unbelievable scenery at the heights.
