V1.Chapter 67

The light of the morning sun shines.

The entire village has been turned into ruins. Although a lot of things have been snatched from the fire, many houses have been burned down. There are still oppressive choking sounds from time to time around, people with dusty faces collect the bodies of the deceased, and from time to time relatives and friends cry uncontrollably. This night has brought them too much pain, but it has also made them a lot stronger. The surviving militias looked like real warriors, still standing guard against a possible second attack by the Lizardmen.

Just give them a little time and they can grow into qualified fighters.

Sauron sat on the sentry tower and smoked. The pipe was given to him by the captain of the militia. It was either high-grade tobacco, or a small bag of shredded tobacco that was a very cheap silver derler. He put the shredded tobacco into the pipe, lit it, took a deep breath, and then looked into the distance with a little trance. The brutal battle last night reminded him of the upcoming turbulent year. Such battles will be common in the days to come, and even more ruthless killings will come.

There was still a piercing pain on his arm, the rotten flesh that was cut off was regenerating, and the tingling and pain were mixed together, making his expression a little distorted all the time. He picked up the pipe with a slight trembling and took a deep breath. There is no painkiller in this world. Although he has a data template, he can't reduce the pain degree. The very tough nerves he used to exercise are not so easy to use before the pain after cutting the meat. He needs to numb himself a little and forget about the arm injury for a while.

"Give."

The militia captain came over, his eyes were red and red, as if he had cried for someone, maybe his relatives also died last night. Humans in the wilderness are very strong, just like those men in the north. The difficult living environment can always sharpen people's will, and they will not fall down so easily, at least not just like this.

Sauron shook his head and rejected the spirits handed over by the other party. He just picked up the pipe and took a sip, and said slowly, "I never drink."

do not drink.

No matter how badly injured he is, he doesn't drink.

One of the militia captain's arms was abolished. He sat down with some difficulty, took a sip of spirits with his intact hand, and then said, "Thank you. We couldn't last night without you."

Sauron did not speak.

The militia captain reached out and took a package. There was a clanging sound inside. It seemed to contain some coins. He handed it over with difficulty and said solemnly: "I know you are an adventurer. The scroll of your life is probably your life-saving trump card, we have lost too much, so we can only use this thing to express our hearts."

"This is the white crow swordsmanship that I obtained back then. I have been to the battlefield in the south. Although it is only the first half, it should be of some use to you. The other money is our heart. Although it is not much, I hope you can accept it. ."

Sauron put down his pipe with trembling arms. The injury didn't heal so quickly, even if he had the talent for regeneration.

He picked up the white crow swordsmanship book, which was a hand-written scroll, and there were some images that were not very clearly drawn, but the general moves were still understandable. Sauron pushed back a small bag of coins, picked up the pipe again, took a breath, and said slowly, "I accept this book, and you can keep the money yourself. I'm afraid you will have a hard time this winter. Collect the lizardmen. The things on my body should be able to barely hold it."

He turned around and looked at the people behind him, picked up the withered cane to support his body, a green leaf swayed in the wind, and said slowly, "You'd better leave today, the lizardmen won't give up so easily."

"Something may have happened in the depths of the wilderness, leave here and find a place to live."

"As long as people are alive, there is hope for the future."

Sauron let out a sigh softly, he raised the pipe in his hand, squeezed out a smile, and said, "This pipe is even my reward. I'm leaving here, you should do it as soon as possible. decision."

He just left.

Many people didn't even notice him, only a few people watched Sauron's slightly tired figure go away. He is a rogue, and rogues are such a group of people.

It's not surprising to leave so quietly.

You don't need flowers, you don't need to thank you, just do what you want to do and start the next journey.

………………

Sauron went back along the avenue.

This route has become more and more dangerous. Before he set off, the lizards attacked the humans near the Black Air Swamp, but now it is approaching the outer territory of White Horse City. If the lizardmen don't stop fighting for their territory, a war will soon break out. These villages in the wilderness are not very concerned by the White Horse City, but if those villages that provide taxes to the city are attacked, the city guards and garrisoned troops It's almost time to go.

I am afraid that the injury on the body will not recover for a while, and at least one or two days cannot be vigorously exercised.

Sauron was ready to walk back along the road. He gained nearly 5,000 slaughter experience points from last night's battle, which was enough for him to raise the thief level by one level, or raise the wizard level a lot. He needed time to memorize spells, it had better be a relatively safe place, he had no interest in staying to help those people, because they had just met by chance. Sauron didn't even know their names, and they didn't know Sauron's name, just that he was a rogue who could use spells.

The lizardmen gave a lot of killing experience, the two stalkers gave nearly 1200 killing experience, the ordinary warrior has about 200, and using the shadow black tentacles to kill ogres and druids even got nearly 2000 points killing experience. Soul energy from killing the caster is obviously over 50% higher, but they are also much harder to deal with.

And finally the battle-end boost:

"You defeated the night attacking lizardmen!"

"After a tough battle, your skills have improved a lot!"

"Use magic device +10, focus +5, listen +5, search +3, sneak +3, dodge (roll) +2, dodge (move) +1, negotiate +2, parry +2, heal +2, Spellcraft +2."

"You have some understanding of the Specialty [Spell Control]!..."

………………

The improvement in this battle is very obvious.

Not to mention the many basic skill enhancements obtained, it was just the last Specialty hint, which had already exceeded Sauron's expectations.

Expertise tips.

This is a harbinger of a certain specialty that has been mastered and trained. In some special cases, you may directly get the comprehension information of a certain specialty, and then you can gradually master this specialty after a period of training. Although [Spell Control] is only the most basic spell casting feat, for Sauron it means saving a necessary feat point. This is a great help for him to upgrade the wizard level, because he does not have any feat bonuses for multi-level wizards.

The first feat point is earned only at wizard class level 3.

As a part-time wizard, Sauron's strength has hardly improved much, he just got 4 level 0 spell slots and 1 level 1 spell slot. In the future, for each wizard's professional level, he will receive a corresponding increase in spell slots, and at the same time, he will gain an additional level 0 spell slot. High-level wizards and warlocks have a lot of level 0 spell slots, and sometimes they can't be used up at all. However, the power of 0-level spells is very small, because their orthodox name is called 'tricks', and they belong to the unpopular spells.

Level 0 spells are rarely used in combat unless a spellcaster as amazingly gifted as Vivian is.

There are no 0-level spells in the spellbook.

Because orthodox wizards seldom transcribe "tricks", their spell models are relatively simple, and some don't even need the time to cast spells, such as the most commonly used "magic hand". So Sauron hasn't mastered any 0-level spells yet, and he needs to go to the city's arcane store to buy 0-level spell transcription scrolls.

Most are things only wizard apprentices need.

After traveling for a day, Sauron was lucky that he did not encounter any enemies. The effect of regeneration talent was very powerful. His arms could move now, but the battle was still a little inconvenient. He found a hotel to rest in the nearest small town, because the road to White Horse City was blocked, and this town that relied on trade was also a little depressed. He could hear the residents' complaints, nothing more than the fact that there are so many taxes every year, and this little trouble can't be solved, and he doesn't know how long it will be procrastinated.

Sauron entered the arranged room, and then told the innkeeper not to disturb him.

He needs to upgrade the wizard's professional level, and then start to learn and memorize the first spell model, which requires him to spend a lot of time and cannot be disturbed at will.

If you don't tell me in advance, who knows if the part-time bar girl under the hotel will come and knock on the door.

After all, Sauron is a half-elf with 16 points of charm. In terms of appearance, he is also a beautiful man among humans, if not for his colder expression.
