...

"The weakest version of me?" Lathel felt confused, however, after using the Sheath skill, he suddenly realized there was a layer of fog around his body.

At this moment, a stream of information also appeared in his mind. This information showed him that he could turn this skill on or off at will.

Besides, even if someone uses any equipment or magic to test Lathel's talent, everyone will only see that he possesses the F rank Earth Elemental talent.

"That's good, I won't get into too much trouble."

"This Tuesday I still received a Rank B skill, it seems the Sign In System is really easy to use."

"Fortunately, I possess a sign In System, so there's no need to fight or search for resources."

After Lathel stood up, he immediately noticed that his body had also changed a bit.

Lighter...

Firmer...

Stronger...

Lathel felt that his body was at least three times stronger than before.

"Could it be that... that five-colored elemental stone helped my body change?"You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

"Hm... okay, I don't need to worry too much." Lathel shook his head, he promised himself that this would be the last time he would take such a risk.

Too dangerous...

He almost died, and he nearly died in an extremely painful way.

As Lathel remembered what happened last night, he suddenly shivered with fear.

Lathel silently promised himself that he would never take such a risk again.

...

Looking at the information board appearing in front of him, Lathel felt extremely happy. It seemed he didn't need to try too hard, as everything was already provided by the system.

He opened the map that the newbie gift package had provided. Above appeared a map of this forest. A red dot appeared on the map, which was Lathel's location.

"My location is about 7 kilometers from the main road leading to the Capital of the Karol Empire."

"It seems... I just need to walk a little to get out of this forest."

"I hope nothing else happens. Luckily Alec left, maybe nothing strange or dangerous will happen."

Lathel walked forward, as he felt extremely happy.

Why?

"So... are you planning to go to the royal magic academy in the Capital of the Karol Empire?"

"Um..." Hearing his Master's question, Alec immediately nodded: "I think I need a place with enough resources and knowledge so I can study."

"Ah! I don't look down on you, Master, it's just..."

"I understand..." His master interrupted him: "At the royal magic academy, you will have enough resources and many opportunities to develop more."

"Even though I have enough knowledge to teach you, I cannot operate continuously."

"Right now, I don't have much energy left, and I don't have much time to support you. That's why going to the royal magic academy is your best choice."

"That will be the stage for you to shine and connect with many people, and they will become your chess pieces in the future."

"Good!" Alec nodded and said: "Then... I will go to the royal magic academy."

...

Back to Lathel.

Right now, he was looking at the sky.

The sky was clear and blue, strange birds continuously flew past his sight.

The cool breeze blowing past made him feel a little comfortable.

Suddenly, Lathel frowned, his face showing discomfort.

'No, I'm not comfortable at all.'

'I'm not okay.'

'In the end... what's going on?'

Lathel screamed inside.

At this moment, he was sitting on an extremely simple wooden palanquin. His hands and legs were tied tightly, underneath the palanquin, 8 small Goblins were making this simple palanquin move on a trail.

Lathel sighed, it all started 3 hours ago.

At that time, he had just walked a distance of about 1 kilometer when he stepped on a trap.

A rope was tied to his feet and he was hung upside down from a tree. He didn't even have time to react.

Although Lathel possesses extremely high energy points, many talents and two Rank B skills, those things could not help him at this time.

Lathel also didn't have any skills to attack or rescue himself. He could only let himself hang upside down like that.

However, 10 minutes later, a group of Goblins appeared. At that time, he thought why was he so unlucky?

Even though he was just a supporting character, he couldn't so unlucky that he just walked 1 kilometer and stepped on a Goblin's trap.

Luckily these Goblins did not harm him, they tied him up and took him somewhere.

Lathel estimated that these goblins had traveled more than 3 kilometers, before arriving at a rather large cave.

Seeing that cave, he immediately felt desperate because he thought that the goblins wanted to turn him into a food reserve.

A thought suddenly appeared in his mind that inside was perhaps a Goblin Shaman or a High Orc.

Why?

Because these Goblins already know how to make tools. Even though the tools were primitive, it represented that these Goblins were led by a highly intelligent being.

That's good news for the Goblins.

But it's bad news for Lathel...
