V1.Chapter 17

The corpse of the snake demon actually has a lot of value.

For example, its snake skin can be peeled off to make first-order enchanted leather armor, its heart is the favorite of many spellcasters, and even its blood can be used as an alchemy material. But there is a more troublesome thing, that is, it is very difficult to get rid of demon items, at least in southern cities.

By comparison.

It's better to let go of the weapon.

Besides, Sauron couldn't take so many things with him. Once the information about the snake demon was revealed, it would most likely lead to an investigation by the church.

Summoning demons to the material plane is to be judged!

"Upgrade the class of thieves."

Sauron simply dealt with the wound, and then raised the thief occupation level again.

There is no healing potion on his body, and he can only recover his injuries with the help of professional level upgrades. At least, he can rely on the increase in health to reduce his injuries to a 'minor injury state'.

A row of data emerges:

"The thief profession has been upgraded to level 5."

"Gain 24 (Agility 20 + (Intelligence 18-10) * 0.5) skill points, and increase HP by 11 (professional HP 6 + (Physical 19-10) * 0.5)."

"Comprehend the combat skill [Shadow Assault]!"

"The thief occupation level has been raised to the second level!...The potential to gain a bloodline purification ceremony!..."

"Get an extra point of professional expertise!"

………………

Sauron glanced at it and ignored the others.

The improvement from the first-order professional to the second-order professional is more obvious. The former belongs to the gang members who make small troubles in the city, while the latter has the qualification to leave the city to take risks. A second-order professional can obtain an additional specialty point, but it is limited to the selection of professional specialties. For example, Sauron's profession is a thief, then he can obtain an additional thief professional feat, and cannot obtain other professional and personal feats. .

Skill points are all allocated to traps.

This treasure cave has not been fully explored, Sauron wants to strengthen his trap detection ability.

Tier 2 thieves have three class feats to choose from.

They are:

"Blind Combat [Mastery]: After hiding in the shadows for a long time, the thief has gradually become accustomed to fighting in the dark. His fighting style is no longer limited to sight. Hearing, intuition, smell, etc. have also become his judgment factors in fighting. , even in a state of complete darkness, thieves can have good combat effectiveness. [Dodge +1, Hit +1]."

"Military weapons [Master]: After long-term training, professionals have been able to use all military weapons, including but not limited to long swords, great swords, machetes, strong crossbows, two-handed great swords, spears, flails, etc. When fighting with all military weapons, professionals can use them proficiently, know how to use them to cause more damage, and how to hit the enemy more easily. [Hit +1, Damage +1].”

"Dodge [Mastery]: The thief has learned how to use his dexterity in the long-term battle. He can do many actions that are difficult for ordinary people to do to avoid attacks. [Dodge +1, Conditioned Reflex +1]."

For that precious specialty point, he undoubtedly chose the military weapon [Mastery] specialty that he had obtained for the first time.

This is a very important professional expertise.

Most of the melee professionals must master, because it means that you can use most weapons proficiently to deal with emergencies encountered during the adventure. And it is also a prerequisite for learning many basic combat skills, such as the combat skill [Sword Stance - Heavy Cleave] after mastering the 'basic swordsmanship', which requires the prerequisite for military weapons [Mastery].

This is the fighter's own specialty.

Basically, it can be acquired after advanced, Sauron does not have the time to train for a long time, and can only obtain it through specialty points.

If it is normal training.

It takes a year or two to acquire this feat to fully complete the familiarity with all military weapons, and this time is enough for him to do too many things.

As for the potential of the last bloodline purification, that is something that only local tyrants can afford.

simply speaking.

It is to purify one's own bloodline potential, re-acquire one life value calculation according to the current physique, and baptize the impurities in one's own body.

For example, Sauron's current HP is 52 points.

If he held a bloodline purification ceremony, then his HP would be——[Professional HP 6+(19-10)*5]*5+19 Constitution+10 Basic HP=84 HP.

It is equivalent to 3 professional levels of HP more than now!

Very ** blood strengthening.

But it is also very expensive, and the advanced ceremony needs to spend more than 1,000 Kindlers.

This ceremony can be held once for each advancement.

The biggest improvement should be the time after entering the legendary occupation level, because the special talent of [Legendary Life] can be obtained after the bloodline purification ceremony.

This is the key that many melee professionals can go head-to-head with adult dragons!

………………

Blood Purification Ceremony.

Sauron didn't think about it for the time being, because this ceremony was the same whenever it was held, it was just to increase the HP once again according to the physique and occupation level. This kind of ritual requires a lot of rare materials, as well as the basic skills of [Spell Recognition] and [Learning]. It is difficult to achieve its requirements in the early stage.

You must know that there was a warlock teammate who wanted to advance to the Dragon Vein Warlock, but everyone in Sauron's team emptied their private money.

A conservative cost of 1000 Kindlers.

This amount of money is enough for Sauron to arm himself, and his combat effectiveness has more than doubled!

at this time.

Sauron's attributes changed after he became a second-order thief.

"Name: Sauron.

Race: Half-elf.

Attributes: Strength 12, Dexterity 20 (+1), Constitution 19, Intelligence 18 (+1), Wisdom 15, Charisma 16.

Alignment: Lawful evil.

Occupation: Level 10 civilian (full level) / Level 5 thief (0/3000) [Tier 2].

Health: 52/52.

EXP: 950 (killing experience), 0 (professional experience) [unallocated].

Skill Points: None.

Attribute Points: None.

Status: Normal.

Profession Skills - Stealth 102, Steal 35, Lockpicker 45, Trap 54.

Legendary Skill - Versatile Hand [Seal] (weak state).

Personal expertise - dexterous left hand, unforgettable, perseverance.

Occupational Specialties - Shadow Mastery, Military Weapon [Mastery].

Combat Skill - Shadow Attack.

…………”

After entering the second-order professional, the experience value required to improve the strength began to increase significantly.

But at the same time, he also mastered a powerful combat skill, that is, the ability of [Shadow Attack] that Sauron had been looking forward to.

"Shadow Attack [Combat Skill]: The advanced thief has gradually touched the power of the shadow field. When he attacks the enemy, he can rely on the mastery of the shadow power to launch a spell-like attack. Shadow attack can be launched after launching Backstab Assassination is active at the same time, dealing an additional 5 Shadow damage to the target, ignoring Physical Defense.

This ability increases damage by 1 per rogue class level and increases the number of uses it can use. "

(Requires the thief pre-specialty [Shadow Mastery].)

This is a very powerful ability.

With Sauron's current rogue professional level, he can use shadow attack 5 times a day. As long as the opponent has no shadow resistance, it will directly cause 5 shadow damage that ignores defense.

This is a deadly threat to the relatively poor and weak HP of low-level professionals in the early stage!

The second order is a watershed.

The wizard began to master the third-level arcane magic, and finally got out of the scope of low combat effectiveness. Warriors begin to master Qi Qi Slash to prepare for future advanced knights, juggernauts, weapon masters, etc. The monks have almost mastered the ability of infuriating, whether they are advanced ascetic monks or boxing masters in the future, they need to lay a solid foundation from now on.

Basically, all professionals will have a substantial improvement after the second order!

Thieves also start to specialize from here, whether it is a thief with amazing stealing ability, a stalker with amazing stealth ability bonus, or an assassin who is proficient in assassination skills.

All have to decide the future now.

However, Sauron has no plans to advance for the time being, not to mention the harsh conditions required for special occupations to advance, the mere fact that advancing special occupations requires 5,000 slaughter experience points has already discouraged him. The advanced special occupation of the aboriginal people requires a long time of training. Although Sauron skipped this step, he needs to use killing experience (soul energy) to make up for it.

Progress is not necessarily a good thing.

The thief's combat effectiveness is low, the stalker's explosiveness is insufficient, and the assassin's lethality is strong, but its comprehensive ability is not good.

If the survivability is still the strongest thief!

At least until there are more than ten personal specialties, any advanced occupation is not as easy to use as a basic occupation.

certainly.

If you have mastered dozens of specialties, including but not limited to personal specialties, occupational specialties, talent specialties, etc., no matter the advanced level, it is very powerful. For example, unarmed combat [Grandmaster], inch strength [Legendary], blind combat [Legendary], super sixth sense, intuitive dodge [Legendary], conditioned reflex [Legendary], etc. You can even run naked with your eyes closed if you want. Can beat an army alone.

After all, professional level is only a part of strength.

Fighting for life and death depends on your overall strength. Fighting is not only about your professional level, but also the power attached to your attributes, the abilities brought by your specialties, and the lowest piece of wood in the bucket. (The lowest board in the bucket determines how much water it can hold.)

That is the key to determining whether you can always stand in the legendary realm!
