Chapter 54 Encounter
“I still have an incentive point now, don’t save this incentive point, just use it.”
Nohir opened the panel and started to search for level four The professional skills that barbarians need to master to be promoted to level five barbarians, and then Nohir was surprised to find out.
“After being promoted to level four, my health points have actually reached 77 points!”
This increase in health points is not terrible, and it is far ahead of the same level. A lot more than a professional, and according to the health inertia bonus given by this specialty, when Nohir reaches level five, his health will probably exceed 100 points!
"Perhaps this kind of expertise related to one's own physique is the most powerful expertise. Just the increase in health brought by this [Strongness] is far beyond the improvement brought by several professional levels for ordinary professionals. ”
“Unfortunately, all the specialties that can be selected for incentive points are skills. Specialties like this that directly affect the human body do not seem to be possible with the current panel.”
Nohir looked through the expertise that the system can currently redeem. Most of them are some kind of weapon specialization, some kind of combat skills or spell-casting skills.
The reason why Nohir chose to redeem the expertise of Mastering Improvised Melee Weapons before was because this expertise is the broadest and most comprehensive, covering all melee skills.
No, it is not so much a skill, but an instinct that makes Nohir feel comfortable using any weapon or non-weapon.
This specialty is the one that Nohill considers to be the best among all melee specialties, and this is indeed the case. This specialty has indeed lived up to Nohill's expectations and greatly improved his melee skills.
Nohir closed the free expertise on the panel and opened the barbarian's professional skill tree.
“Well, if you want to advance to level five barbarian, you need to master two barbarian professional skills.”
“One is to burst out multiple powerful attacks in a short period of time [Surge] Brutal Strike], one is [Swift Step] which focuses on flexible movement and dodge ability."
"Well, it's a bit troublesome. I only have one motivation point now, and I can only temporarily use these two professional abilities. Choose one.”
"At the same time, these two professional abilities must be supported by sufficient basic attributes in order to be perfectly displayed."
"My basic attributes are very powerful. I don't have a big problem with the hardware, but my strength and physique It's one level higher than Agility, which means it's easier for me to learn [Surge Brutal Strike]."
"...Then let's learn this move first. For barbarians, it can't be done between the two. When you have both, attack is always more important than defense."
"And I have to hurry now, no matter what ability it is, the sooner I learn it, the better."
The only thing left is. After one of the motivation points was used up, the knowledge of professional abilities began to emerge in his mind. Nohill closed his eyes, immersed in this unique sense and gradually fell asleep.
...
The time came to the next day. There was no additional danger all night last night. After staying safe for the rest of the night, Nohill and his party set off on the road again after a short period of repair and supplementation.
Yesterday, they rode owlbears and ran wildly all day long. They were far away from the green woodland. It stands to reason that the range of the Friendly Whistle has faded, but animals have the habit of migrating, so Nohir Blow the whistle again.
This time they were very lucky. A moose came to help after hearing the sound. With the mount, they moved faster again. It would have taken at least five or six days to walk after these two days. Speeding forward, it has been shortened by more than half.
——
That night, Nohill prepared a sumptuous meal of fodder for the moose that had carried them for a long time. Nohill also contributed a lot of fruits he brought from the green woodland. After feeding them, the moose was full. Left on his own.
Nohir flew up to the sky to check. The flat land that was easy to walk on and stable had gradually disappeared, and there was a continuous majestic mountain road in front of him. Just today, they had passed through Woking's resting place, avoiding the road to Guichen Monastery and the place of curse of shadow, and walked on the business road called Golden Sleep.
“This road is relatively rugged, but it is also the closest road to Baldur’s Gate. Otherwise, you have to go north, and you have to pass the large shadow after climbing over the mountains. Cursed Land, the journey there is not only longer, but also more dangerous.”
“However, this trade road is not absolutely safe. I heard that there are many goblin marauders wandering on this mountain road. Be careful when resting here at night.”
Nohir explained to Scar that when he went to Baldur's Gate, he took a break in this area, and then ran into a raiding team composed of more than a dozen goblins.
While the sky was not completely dark, Nohir used his flying ability to conduct a reconnaissance at high altitude. After finding no danger, he flew down and said to Ska, who had already chosen a camping spot. .
"I'll keep watch for half the night, you go and rest first, Ska."
Ska nodded. Riding bareback for a long time is very tiring. He is really tired now. He needed to rest, so he didn't have to be polite. He simply added some food and water. After solving his physical problems, he went directly into the tent and fell asleep without taking off his armor.
In the next few hours, Nohir was thinking about his next actions by the campfire, while using his dim vision to pay attention to the surrounding movements.
Soon the first half of the night was about to pass. Nohir stood up and planned to wake up Ska for the shift. However, as soon as he stood up, his keen senses heard some rustling movements.
Nohir immediately took out the double axe, and at the same time slowly retreated, gently kicking the tent with his feet. This weak movement alone woke up Ska, and he also directly picked up the shield and mace. , slowly walked out of the tent.
“What is it?”
Ska asked softly, and Nohir responded equally softly.
“It’s very likely to be a goblin, or it may be a wolf.”
The camping site chosen by Ska was very empty, with no hiding place within a radius of fifty meters. However, because it was a mountainous area, there were some rocks and ruins for hiding a little further away.
"They are probably goblins. The wolf will not see the fire and move forward. Be careful, it will still be troublesome if the number of goblins is large."
It is the same as the common sense in the past. Different from the goblins, in the continent of Faerûn, the goblin race is not a completely unintelligent beast. They have many categories and possess considerable wisdom.
Although most ordinary goblins are short, timid but ferocious cannon fodder, if a group of more than a dozen goblins and a group of the same number of ordinary humans encounter in the wild, the entire army will often be annihilated. It's human.
Although they are short in stature, their strength is not low, although their limbs are short and short, they are extremely agile, and although they are timid and despicable, they are also extremely ferocious. These characteristics are clearly listed on the goblins, making them stand out in the wilderness. Dare to launch a surprise attack on any opponent.
Click.
The sound of stones colliding with stones was clearly conveyed to Nohir's ears. Nohir looked in the direction of the sound. In a completely black and white field of vision, he saw what was coming from him. That thing that comes from the sound.
“Not good, Scar, it doesn’t seem to be a goblin.”
“It’s a desperate vicious dog.”
