Chapter 128: Allen's Surprise

(Happy weekend, everyone!!)

In the civilized world, mages never acknowledge the orthodox status of other spellcasting professions. Warlocks, magical beasts, and even demons and devils from the abyss are, in their eyes, just stupid people who rely on their innate talents to make a living. They are simply incomparable to the noble mages. Even the spells cast by these spellcasting professions are given a different name by the mages: spell-like abilities.

Of course, priests who serve deities, as well as the god's faithful servants, the clerics and priests, are exceptions.

The reason is simple: the spells cast by warlocks and magical beasts originate from the ancient inheritance within their bloodlines. They do not painstakingly study spell principles or construct spell models themselves, relying on their own true understanding to cast them. Mages, on the other hand, devote a great deal of energy to learning each spell they master and can cast. They conduct countless spell experiments, ultimately developing thoroughly understood spell models before they can cast them.

Thieves are actually classified by mages alongside warlocks and magical beasts, rather than with warrior professions. This is because, in the eyes of mages, the shadow energy utilized by thieves is essentially a type of magical energy, rather than the energy that warrior professionals ignite within themselves to fight.

The role of thieves may not be significant in combat, but for the Greenwild Tribe as a whole, its significance and role are completely different. In fact, if possible, Allen would rather trade 10 warriors for 1 thief. It's just a pity that these are all Allen's own fantasies, with almost no possibility of realization.

He originally thought that the thief profession was completely isolated from the Greenwild Tribe. Allen and the others also lacked knowledge of the thief profession, not knowing how to cultivate talents in this area. But fate is always so fickle. Just when Allen had given up on the pursuit of thief combatants, a living, breathing thief awakener suddenly appeared by his side.

That's right, the magical skill displayed by the little goblin female, Irene, is precisely something that only those who have awakened shadow energy can use. It's just that the shadow energy within Irene's body is still too weak, so it can only cover her hands and cannot yet envelop her entire body.

"Are you sure this is a thief awakener?"

After dismissing a group of tribesmen, Allen and the remaining Flower Snake and others surrounded the two goblins, Hilin and Irene, as if looking at a beautiful woman. Allen still couldn't believe it, asking the knowledgeable Philip.

"Haven't I mentioned these things to you, Master? Shouldn't I have?"

Philip pretended to be ignorant. As early as when the goblin Jack was a guide, Allen had privately inquired about his knowledge of thieves. However, Philip then used the excuse that he had never been in contact with thieves, directly using the words "I don't know" to prevaricate. In fact, knowledge about professions that require talent awakening, such as thieves and warlocks, had long spread in human society. As long as someone had a little status, most could access relevant knowledge. After all, such talented individuals have a certain chance of awakening from birth until they are 5-6 years old, and no one can guarantee that their child will suddenly become someone who can cast magical spells.

The reason why Philip pretended to be ignorant at the time was that he was afraid that after Allen emptied the things in his head, he would think that he was useless and directly slaughter him as livestock.

"I'm very sure."

Allen was not easy to fool and gave a firm reply, leaving Philip with no choice but to respond with an awkward smile: "Then maybe I remembered it wrong."

To make amends, Philip now had no choice but to pour out all the knowledge he knew about thieves and warlocks, like beans from a bamboo tube, for Allen and the others to hear.

"According to the mages, the source of a thief's power is a plane that is attached to our real world, called the Shadow Plane. The Shadow Plane is to our Fayman World as a person is to their shadow. In the Shadow Plane, there is a unique energy everywhere, called shadow energy…"

"Newborns in the Fayman World, from the moment they are born until their childhood at the age of six, have a certain chance to suddenly awaken at some point, obtaining a blessing from the Shadow Plane and being able to use shadow energy unique to the Shadow Plane. Shadow energy is like a key, connecting the Shadow Plane to our real world. Low-level thieves can use shadow energy to gain the ability to conceal their figures. After reaching the intermediate level, they can use shadow energy as a springboard to move through the Shadow Plane…"

"Master, you once said that you encountered a kobold thief who suddenly disappeared from sight and reappeared in a more distant place. That is the shadow leap possessed by advanced thief professionals."

"…"

This time, Philip no longer held back, finally giving Allen and his group of bumpkins a lesson, giving Allen and the others a general understanding of thief awakeners, and also learning about the origins of warlocks, this type of spellcaster, by analogy.

"So, is it possible for warlocks like that bastard Bonesmasher to be born in our goblin bloodline?"

Dasan and the others were listening with great interest, and Flower Snake suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"Yes, that's not impossible."

Philip nodded, giving an affirmative answer, but he was also a little embarrassed, saying a piece of news that he didn't know whether to consider good or bad.

"But to be honest, according to the research of the mages in our human world, the likelihood of your goblin lineage giving birth to spellcasting professions similar to thieves and warlocks is the highest for goblins, while the bear goblins, who have the strongest individual strength, have the lowest chance of awakening."

"Ah?"

"That's impossible, right?"

Everyone was in an uproar. In Allen's eyes, goblins were too short and weak to be warriors. Who would have thought that God would compensate them in this regard?

"Not only these awakeners, but even the learning and growth of the mage profession is stronger for goblins than for your other two branches. Perhaps this is related to their degree of brain development."

"Our human mages have researched and concluded that although goblins are weak as individuals, they are the smartest of your three branches and the best at learning. It's just a pity that your tribe doesn't have a complete inheritance. Goblins have seemed weak from the beginning, which has buried their talents in the daily struggle for survival."

Philip was afraid that Allen and the others would not believe him, so he quickly confessed all the news and knowledge he had obtained from books.

"Actually, I haven't told you, but in our human world, goblins are often found in positions such as appraisers, butlers, and accountants, because they are easier to train and have a higher chance of success."

"…"

Dasan and the others were already dumbfounded and speechless, but Allen, who was on the side, seemed moved, as if he had thought of something, but couldn't grasp the flash of inspiration.
