Mysterious Tribulation

This is my trophy!

Aaron looked at Grace and said solemnly: I have the right to deal with it, of course, the paladin soul on it, I will find a chance to give them rest!

hope so!

Grace hesitated to speak. After all, the mantra of the opponent's secret spell in the battle was not fake, which made her very suspicious of Aaron's identity.

This also brings a touch of mystery to the origin of the bard.

【You have successfully negotiated! 】

【Storytelling +1! 】

...

Aaron glanced at the prompt in the attribute bar, but didn't care.

He will not admit that the so-called 'storytelling' is actually a combination of 'intimidation' and 'coaxing' skills.

I don't know where you want to go next?

Grace asked with a little bit of vigilance, and secretly held the nine-section whip that was broken in half.

I don't know... is there anything worth recommending?

Aaron could see that the pastor was wary of him.

After all, his identity is mysterious, and he even knows the mantra of secret incantations—this is basically the ability only those devout followers of the outer gods have.

However, he had already thought about the explanation and said with a smile: Don't think that I understand the core abilities of those priests of the outer gods... In fact, I once knew a good friend who blasphemed priests and learned a lot from him.

Blasphemy priests are the most hated existences by the gods. They can disguise their beliefs and even deceive the gods into magic!

Grace was dubious, but she wouldn't tell the other party the secret of the hot spring canyon even if she died, she thought about it and said, I think, if you want to know more about the form of the continent, you can go to the 'Ice and Snow Country'... The last resistance on the continent Those who are all gathered in that country, relying on the natural danger of the 'Frozen Rift Valley', resisting the army of the evil god...

Even several saints and voters of [Powerful Divine Power] were there.

However, Ms. Chenxi is only a [weak divine power], her strength is low, and she does not want to participate in it, so she chose to escape.

Is it the country of ice and snow? I know, thank you!

Aaron thanked him sincerely and turned to leave.

After seeing his back disappear, Grace's face showed real sadness, and then turned firm.

She wants to catch up with the previous fleeing team and take them to the promised land of God!

There, everyone will be able to live happily and happily, definitely!

...

Aaron opened the map given by Grace, looked at the direction of the 'Ice and Snow Country' above, and adjusted his route.

It looks like a long way to go...

He looked around and felt that it was important to find a musical instrument for himself first.

As a bard, how can you not have a guy who eats?

The harp is too big to carry. A harp will do. It's not enough, but a flute will do.

Aaron rubbed the spiritual bone rosary in his hand while rushing on his way.

This legendary item is very sinister and requires flesh and blood to be offered each time it is used.

Because it is not a true legendary item, but a masterpiece of an alien evil god.

As it happens, Aaron has a lot of experience in this regard.

After a friendly and sincere communication, the 'spiritual bone rosary' gave up the idea of ​​asking for his own flesh and blood, and only needed to feed it once every ten days.

Moreover, the types are not limited, and if necessary, the meat of livestock can also make do.

Before... it's a pity to give up the last blow to that jackal [red-robed monk], what an experience...

Aaron held the rosary, a little regretful.

However, the paladin at that time was indeed the main force. If it hadn't been for the opponent's final strategy of perishing together, he might not have succeeded in winning the [Red-robed Monk], and Aaron wouldn't care too much.

Now that you have this legendary item, it's time to start earning experience.

With the Spirit Bone Rosary, although Aaron is only a mid-level professional, he dares to try things that only high-level professionals can do.

It really doesn't work, aren't there still ghosts of fallen paladins as cannon fodder?

I only paid attention to bragging before, but now it's time to increase the level... The extreme northern wasteland? I remember that the frost giants and white dragons here are good experience points... I want them to help me practice!

Aaron walked in the snow for a long time.

Thanks to the expertise of [Cold Resistance], he did not suffer from frostbite, but he was a little hungry.

The sky gradually became dark.

At this moment, not far away, two green fires flickered, getting closer and closer.

Ow!

A desolate wolf roar emerged.

Then, Aaron saw a direwolf!

It has silver-gray fur, is huge, and is as tall as an ordinary warhorse.

【Drewolf】

【Challenge level: 10】

[Attributes: Strength 17, Agility 20, Constitution 16, Intelligence 3, Perception 10, Charisma 5]

[Biological expertise: ice resistance, sharp minions, extraordinary agility]

[Explanation: This is a lone wolf who was driven out of the wolf pack due to his failure to challenge the wolf king. It is still young and full of vitality, just when he is hungry...]

...

It explains a lot more than the gnoll...

Aaron is quite satisfied with this, after all, this attribute column is also pinched by himself.

Challenge level 10? According to my settings, it means to kill it... Need a team of professionals with an average level of 10?

The professional team is not a random combination. You can treat them as gamers in the next instance, but the requirements are a bit harsher, and you must clear the level with one life!

Among them, warriors as meat shields, rogues or rangers as scouts, long-range archers, and priests as nurses are all essential.

If conditions permit, they will also be equipped with a magistrate!

This shows how difficult it is to kill this direwolf!

The opponent is an extraordinary creature living in the extreme northern wasteland. Its sharp claws allow its teeth and claws to easily tear through an adventurer's leather or even metal armor, and a single blow may take away the life of a professional. !

It's hungry!

And I also feel that the human being on the other side is not strong...

After all, it's just a mere 8th-level bard.

Ow!

After observing for a while, the direwolf chose to take the initiative to attack.

Then it saw Aaron smiling at it, and a ghostly fallen paladin floated out of a string of rosary beads in his hand!

——'Breaking the Holy Slash'!

This legendary paladin deserves to have a wealth of combat experience, one move to defeat the enemy!

The huge wolf head flew high, with hot blood.

【Kill the direwolf! 】

【Experience +1000! 】

...

A series of prompts appear.

Aaron pouted, disapprovingly.

If this is a game, I must complain, I, a level 8 bard, finally tried his best to kill a level 10 enemy, but his experience is not enough to upgrade half a level... Too hardcore It's dark.

Unfortunately, this golden finger is pinched by himself.

then it will be fine...

Moreover, these monsters are not stupid, they all have their own wisdom, they can escape and set traps.

Even after killing them, there will be no trace of them in a certain area for a period of time.

This was also one of the reasons why Aaron was slow to level up before, or inadvertently leveled up.

He sighed and began to collect the remains of the direwolf.

As an extraordinary creature, the opponent is a treasure, wolf skin can be made into elite leather armor, wolf blood and wolf heart are treasures that contain elemental magic, and can be purchased by merchants for about 50 to 100 gold coins.

Wolf claws and fangs can be made into daggers or talismans, and mages have always been very interested in direwolf's claws.

In the end...it's meat is not tasty and a bit astringent.

These are the knowledge and experience brought by 'wild survival'.

...

The sky was completely dark.

A bonfire was roaring in the plain, and it stood out in the darkness.

This is a very dangerous move and can easily attract predators.

Of course, if you sprinkle the feces of wild beasts such as saber-toothed tigers or direwolf around the camp, it can play a certain role in driving and protecting.

If there is dragon dung, the effect will be better.

But Aaron didn't do that, he was waiting for his prey to come.

On the bonfire, a few pieces of wolf meat were roasted.

Although the wolf meat is very sour, and there are no other seasonings, but when you go out, you can only take it for a while.

With the brilliance of the flames, Aaron peeled off the entire wolf skin and prepared to make himself a wolf fur coat.

And the remaining wolf bones were not wasted.

Especially the strongest hind leg bone.

Aaron stroked it thoughtfully.

[Through a long-term observation, you have a little experience in 'making magical things'...'Making magical things' +50! You are good at making all kinds of tantric instruments! 】

This is the harvest of continuously observing the Spiritual Bone Rosary today.

Aaron was also speechless.

He didn't feel the slightest thing when he watched the scroll and several extraordinary items on Grace's body before.

But when it comes to the items and skills under the [Dainian Tathagata] system, it is just like opening a link. Once you learn it, you will become fine!

Looking at the wolf bone at this time, I began to calculate in my heart:

'This wolf bone is good. It can be made into a 'Wolf Head Gabala Drum' together with the wolf head and wolf skin... The remaining calf bone can be made into a 'Gangdong Flute'... Although the quality of human bone is better, it is an extraordinary creature. The direwolf can also make do with it...'

'If there is a keel, I will recite a few paragraphs of the Mantra Mantra of the Supreme Refinement Treasure Secret Mantra that I have realized. Maybe I can make a legendary item...'

'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? ’

'What I want to make is a harp and a poetry qin! ’

'This evil musical instrument is not my style of painting! ’

'I want to pull the style back! I'm still that bohemian, handsome wandering poet who loves freedom! ’

...

After the psychological struggle is over, the wolf meat is also roasted.

Aaron took a bite, frowned, frowned, and sat down cross-legged to regain his energy.

'Well, this deity resurrected me, obviously to stop the [Dari Tathagata] in this world... This renegade son will not die, this old man is uneasy! ’

'About his esoteric sect, you still have to know a thing or two...'

Thinking of this, Aaron couldn't help but think about the 'Ferocious Wolf-Headed King Kong Dharma Protection Spell' he just learned!

According to Grace, those esoteric practitioners practice the 'Dharma of Esoteric Deity'!

To get started, you must choose an evil deity as the deity, and then ask the master to empower the 'Gabala bowl', give the mantra mantras, practice rituals, and then enshrine the deity image.

In this way, it is equivalent to being directly controlled by the deity, planting the seeds of the soul, and it is impossible to betray for life!

If it was even worse, the secret mantra of enslavement was infused by a malicious master, and he would not be able to disobey the master's order for the rest of his life!

It can be said that the power of control is very strong, which is different from the spiritual system. After all, the spiritual system can only be distinguished by its uniqueness when it reaches a high place, a hidden existence.

'Such layers of enslavement, suppression, worship... It's like a pyramid, and [The Great Sun Tathagata] is undoubtedly the spire of the pyramid! ’

'I practice the 'Fighting Wolf-headed King Kong Dharma Protection Mantra'. According to the truth, I should also worship the former god of the jackal, and the current dog-headed King Kong is controlled by him... But in fact it is not...'

‘This is like blaspheming a priest? No, it's totally different! ’

'The strict control and strict hierarchy of the Tantric system means that the upper level can completely control the life and death of the lower level...'

'I probably used the personality of the 'Creator' to suppress the 'Ferocious Wolf-headed King Kong Dharma Protector'. In other words, my authority is higher than his. Really want to be happy, it is possible to draw His divine power, divinity, and priesthood! ’

'Of course, my authority is a black household, and I can't see the light... So I usually use a few ordinary magic spells. , but you can report to the Buddha of [Powerful Divine Power], or even the deity of [Dari Tathagata], and I will be more happy...'

'But the mantra of secret mantras is very useful. They are all high-level professional abilities and can be easily learned... It's not a pity. If you use it secretly, you have to worry about this, worry about that... It's better...'

Aaron's eyes moved: Go a clear way? For example, by blaspheming priests and pretending to be a devout believer, then there is no problem... But the entry of secret religion must be empowered and strictly controlled. I've never heard of anyone getting in...

He just moved this thought, and in his mind, countless thoughts exploded, and there was a flash of inspiration.

An incantation instantly appeared in my heart.

【You have comprehended the 'Twin Original Secret Mantra'! 】

[Twin Deity Secret Mantra: Refine a living creature as your own 'twin deity', make it empowered to believe in a tantric deity, you can obtain the blessing of the method through the 'twin deity', and you don't need to go through the empowerment ceremony... 】

Does this mean that you are looking for an intermediary company or a white glove?

Aaron touched his chin: It's the same thing when something goes wrong? Interesting...Interesting...

Wait, why did I just think about it in my mind and comprehend it a little, and then a secret spell appeared? So I should be born into secret sect?

No, no, let's go on like this... When I wake up one day, maybe my profession will become a [red-robed monk]...
