Several soldiers shrugged their shoulders, as if they were used to their leader's temper. They arranged Liu Zhuang to stay with the refugees and live in the open air with the stolen Xianbei horse. Liu Zhuang was somewhat puzzled. In history, Lü Bu was often recorded as a man of courage but no strategy, forgetting his loyalty when he saw profit. This was different from the one he saw today. Was it a coincidence? Or did she experience something in the future that changed her personality drastically and became the one in history? A day's harvest work, coupled with the fear of escaping in the middle of the night, left Liu Zhuang exhausted. His brain only thought for a few seconds before he felt extremely tired, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep. But after an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes in confusion after a shake. The centaur Tuoba Yun gently woke him up. Behind him were seventeen horses and two Han officers riding on fine horses. Lu Bu was wearing fish-scale iron armor, riding a tall and burly white horse, holding a halberd and a bow at his waist. He looked majestic. The red cloak tied on his shoulders danced in the evening breeze and rustled in the moonlight. This time, she finally put on the armor. The two proudly standing snow-capped peaks on her chest had been compressed to a normal size by something like a chest binder, and no longer affected the wearing of the fish scale armor. "Your name is Liu Zhuang, right? Get up and lead the way. It's our turn to patrol at night now. Take me to your village to rescue people immediately. Although the scout team only has twenty riders, less than a hundred soldiers in a barracks, it is not a problem to raid a small Xianbei tribe of thirty or forty people at night." Lu Bu glanced at Liu Zhuang, waved his hand irritably, and ordered him to lead the way. "Ah good." Liu Zhuang was a little surprised and immediately climbed onto his horse, ready to lead the cavalry team back to their original village. After a while, when the cavalry was far away from the camp, he asked curiously. "I heard from your superiors that if you dare to go, he will kick you out of the army. Why do you want to take such a big risk for my village?"
"Don't pay attention to him. That guy is a young man sent by the Wang family of Taiyuan to the army to gild his reputation. When he first arrived, he was a military marquis commanding 500 people. He probably made a few military achievements to gild his resume and then returned to Taiyuan. He has no foundation in the army. I have been in the army for eight years. Relying on my outstanding military achievements, I was promoted step by step from a small soldier to the position of a garrison commander. The centaurs, who were born as one body, were defeated by me in riding skills. The green-skinned orcs, who were born strong and sturdy, were even defeated by me in terms of strength. They called me the Great Ji Lao of the Han Army in awe. His position as a military officer should have been mine, mine! What's more, the order to rescue the people of Dingxiang came from Bingzhou Governor Zhang Yi. He is just a military officer in charge of 500 people. I am not afraid of him even if I report him to the higher authorities. " Lu Bu was already full of anger, and when he heard the officer's name, a terrible rage burned on his rebellious and beautiful face, and his two rows of pearly teeth made a chattering sound. "If his last name wasn't Wang, what would he have to compete with me for this position? Give him face and call him a military officer; if not? I will use the Xianbei people's arrows to shoot through his armor and fake an accidental death, bah! " Liu Zhuang looked at Lu Bu, whose face was filled with anger, in silence. He turned to look at the Xianbei troops who had joined the Han army with a look of curiosity. "You ask me why? I went to save my former Xianbei compatriots." Tuoba Yun, the armored horse, is actually very calm when he is not going crazy. His cold and beautiful face and beautiful blue eyes seem to be frozen by ice, and there is no visible change in his expression. "I'll see if I can persuade them to surrender and recruit some of my compatriots so that they can be enlightened by the Han Dynasty and receive the grace of the Han Emperor like me. Sometimes I really don't understand, what's the point of staying in the cold and bitter grassland? Obviously, if everyone joins the Han army and serves on the frontier for a few years, they can get a Han green card and live in the lush Han land. Why don't they come here, but have to stay on the grassland and fight desperately with the barren land and cold climate? " The group chatted and walked back to the village. Liu Zhuang's ears moved slightly and he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. He turned his head and his vision leaped uncontrollably again. Even in the dim night, he saw a horse and a man patrolling outside the village. "Be careful! There's a sentry patrolling ahead." Liu Zhuang issued a warning as quietly as possible. The twenty Han soldiers first hid quickly, and then looked in the direction Liu Zhuang was staring at. Tuoba Yun and Lu Bu stared into the distance with wide eyes, but did not see anything. There was only a dark forest in that direction. Lu Bu frowned, realizing that it was better to believe the sentry existed than not to believe it existed, so he ordered everyone to advance secretly. The twenty riders cautiously advanced more than a hundred steps. After passing through the woods, everyone saw the sentry that Liu Zhuang had warned in the hazy moonlight. At once, twenty people cast surprised glances at Liu Zhuang, and Lu Bu also looked at the refugee carefully for the second time. It seems that he is not as simple as he looks? "Sure, you can see this far? Have you awakened? Your dragon blood talent is the farsighted type? Can you use a crossbow?" "know a little."
Liu Zhuang was somewhat confused by the series of questions. What was the dragon blood talent she was talking about? What was the type of farsightedness? Before Liu Zhuang could ask, Lu Bu ordered his men to hand him a set of top-quality crossbow arrows. "Come on, there is only one sentry on the other side. Try to shoot him to death. Centaurs have a special body structure. Humans and horses each have one heart and three lungs. Therefore, no matter where you shoot at the body, you can't kill him with one shot. Only by aiming at the head and cervical vertebrae can you inflict fatal damage." As if noticing Liu Zhuang's nervousness, Lu Bu also drew his longbow. "Don't be nervous. Even if you miss, I can still kill the centaur. I just want to see if you, with your visual talent, can become a good shooter." Liu Zhuang nodded, raised the Han army crossbow with the string loaded, and aimed at the troops in the distance. Under the curious gaze of everyone, his vision went wild again. It was the first time for me to use a crossbow, and I had no idea how to aim it. However, in front of these eyes, the centaur sentry seemed to be right in front of me! I could even see the flesh between his teeth, the trembling of his nostrils when he breathed, the swaying of his hair in the wind, and my crossbow missed and hit him by his ear. "Boom!!!" Along with the sound of the bowstring snapping, a crossbow arrow whistled and tore through the night sky, like a black lightning, exploding in the face of the centaur. The sharp arrowhead accurately hit the centaur's left ear, piercing through the skull and tearing the flesh with a devastating force, and shot out from the right ear, causing two terrifying scarlet flowers of blood to bloom in the darkness on both sides of his head. At this moment, Liu Zhuang's vision was still in a state of confusion. He seemed to be sticking to the dead man's face, watching his pupils dilate due to death, watching the blood gushing out like a fountain, watching a life quietly pass away in front of him, while his own breathing and heartbeat did not fluctuate at all. The sentry's centaur body trembled, and he fell to the ground without a sound. The heavy impact on the ground spurted out more scarlet blood on his wound, which soon accumulated into a bloody lake on the ground. His vision was more intense than ever before, and his pupils were almost glued to the pool of blood. He looked at his own face, which was rippling in the blood. At this moment, strands of dazzling golden threads gushed out from the centaur's wounds, dancing freely in the bloody reflection, and interweaving into lines of simple words in the reflection above his head. [Liu Zhuang] (Dragon) (Any three attributes +2 (Strength, Constitution, Perception)) Level 1 (No Occupation) Health 6, Mana 0 Hit 5, Defense 5 Strength 16, Agility 10, Constitution 14 Intelligence 12, Wisdom 20, Charisma 10 [Dragon Blood Talent·Double Pupils]: Spell checks, and perception skills such as Scouting and Listening have their effects doubled; Perception replaces Strength/Agility to determine defense and hit rate. Liu Zhuang looked at the words made up of golden threads in surprise. At this moment, the pupils of his eyes began to split. Each eyeball actually contained two pupils, changing from the normal O shape to ∞. His extraordinary perception, which had been erratic since he began traveling through time, had finally stabilized at this moment. Under his will, his vision either returned to normal or focused on one point and magnified infinitely. This ability even infected his other senses. He could even hear the cries of owls in the woods and smell the aroma of wine from a banquet in a distant village. Liu Zhuang stretched out his fingers in surprise, trying to touch the golden words floating in the air, but his fingertips passed through the golden threads as thin as a spider web. These characters were only imprinted in his pupils and did not really exist. This attribute also looks like one of the board games I play: Dungeons & Dragons. Strength represents the size of strength, agility represents the degree of reaction, and constitution represents health and endurance. These three physical attributes are relatively easy to understand. Intelligence represents learning and thinking ability, perception represents willpower and insight, and charm represents a person's persuasiveness and leadership. These three spiritual attributes are somewhat abstract. For a normal person who is ordinary and has no special features, the six attribute values should all be 10. If a person has a physical disability, the attribute values will drop to 9 or even lower, while some talented players will have higher values than 10. My agility and charm are both 10, which is the normal level for a normal person, my intelligence is 12 which is slightly better, my physique is 14 which is very good, my strength is 16 which is outstanding, and my perception is as high as 20, which is the ceiling level for a normal human! However, what is the [Dragon Blood Talent·Double Pupil] below? Why is my creature type not human but dragon??? Liu Zhuang expressed his doubts and got answers from Lu Bu.
“Legend has it that the ancestor of all Han people was a dragon, but the dragon blood in his descendants’ bodies kept fading, and now everyone has become a normal human with dragon blood flowing in their bodies, that is, a [Dragon Vein Creature]. However, some Han people, for various reasons, will allow the dragon blood in their bloodline to revive, awaken unique dragon vein talents, and be promoted from [Dragon Vein Creature]. Their creature type awakens to [Dragon], but they still maintain their human form, but have more or less some dragon characteristics, such as your current double pupils. Going further up... it is said that there are many people who can transform into dragons again." Lu Bu smiled and opened his arms, looking at Liu Zhuang as if he was admiring a piece of unpolished jade. "So, you are also a dragon? What is your dragon blood talent?" Liu Zhuang asked curiously, but Lu Bu's excited face suddenly turned gloomy. The moonlight cast the shadow of her dark red dragon horns on Liu Zhuang's face, turning it into the shape of a crown, and he gave very serious advice. "Just like there are no two identical leaves in the Central Plains, there have never been two dragons in history with exactly the same abilities. Dragon blood talent is everyone's biggest secret and the final trump card. It is extremely rude to ask about other people's specific abilities."
Chapter 3: Blasphemy of the Priests "Then, what is a profession? Why did I awaken the Dragonborn but have no profession?" Liu Zhuang suppressed his inner curiosity about Lv Bu's unknown talent and continued to ask, just as she could observe her talent through a small thing, which was the reconnaissance type, maybe once she fought, she would be able to understand what her dragon vein talent was. "Ah? Your parents and the people in the village don't know anything and don't teach you anything?" At this moment, Liu Zhuang's position in Lu Bu's eyes has changed from a refugee guide to a valuable scout and soldier, which has also improved her attitude a lot. "As long as you follow the training standards of the Han warriors, in three months at the fastest and a year at the slowest, you will be able to get rid of the ordinary cannon fodder and militia class, and have a warrior level. You will also be qualified to wear armor. Therefore, warriors are also called armored soldiers. It is a very balanced combat profession. Of course, if you are good at riding horses, you can also choose a rider with higher difficulty and longer training time, like me. All professions start fast, but the more you upgrade, the harder and slower it becomes. The desperate fights on the battlefield will allow you to accumulate a lot of practical experience, greatly speeding up the upgrade speed. Everything that doesn't kill you will make you stronger. There are also some assassin and ranger professions that are more agile. You can find some Han scouts in the army to learn from them. The various Hu people also have a set of violent fighting methods that are more strength-oriented. If you are interested, you can ask the green-skinned orcs. I learned a few barbarian violent techniques from them." Lu Bu patiently explained before the battle. "How come warriors, rangers, and barbarians are all professions that can't cast spells? Then, how can mages and shamans cast magic?" Liu Zhuang curiously asked about the spellcaster's profession. One warrior level in three months? That's too slow. Besides, I have 20 points of perception. With this attribute, what kind of warrior can I be in a magical world? "Spellcaster? You know a lot, kid? Don't dream. Most of the Hu people's spellcasters are primitive shamans who worship perception. You need to have extremely high perception and believe in their gods. Pray to the Hu people's gods such as Changshengtian, Gaoge, Maoge, etc. to grant you power. In short, forget it. Those gods will not favor the Han people." Lu Bu said with a sneer. "The Han spellcasters tend to study spells through intellectual learning, which is more difficult than the Hu people's spellcasting. You must first be able to read. This alone can keep 99% of the Han people out. Then, you have to find the books on magic recorded and passed down by your ancestors. Words are power and language is magic. This kind of thing was very prevalent during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with hundreds of schools of magic preaching and competing with each other. However, four hundred years ago, the First Emperor collected all the books in the world and managed them in Xianyang, hoping to monopolize knowledge and mass-produce spellcasters who would only serve the empire. However, all the books were burned by Xiang Yu, which led to the extinction of a large number of spells in the Central Plains. The remaining knowledge was all kept in the hands of a few scholars, who would only teach their skills to their close ones and never reveal them to others. By now, these people had all become aristocratic families, intermarrying and colluding with each other. The Yuan family of Runan and the Wang family of Taiyuan had united together and completely monopolized knowledge, writing, and skills, and even the emperor was helpless against them.
Spellcasters? The rest of us? Ha! Forget it! Look at the Dingxiang family. They put their bamboo slips in the safest place and value knowledge a hundred times more than gold and silver treasures." It was not known whether Lu Bu was laughing at Liu Zhuang in the present or at this absurd world. As he spoke, he took out an ancient, heavy bamboo scroll from his waist bag, and stared at the scroll with gritted teeth, his eyes almost spitting fire with anger. "I used to be just like you. I wanted to become a spellcaster. My family found a teacher for me and taught me how to read and write. I also paid a huge price, used all my connections, and bought an ancient bamboo book. But I still couldn't understand the knowledge recorded in it, and I couldn't cast any spells. I guess these damn monopoly families are hiding more secrets that I don't know!" Lu Bu's ten fingers began to exert force unconsciously, treating the bamboo slips in his hand as those aristocratic families that monopolized knowledge, and he wished he could crush them alive. The bamboo slips made a crisp and pleasant cracking sound, which scared her so much that her face suddenly changed color. She immediately regained her senses and wiped the useless things that she had obtained at a huge cost with a pained heart. For a moment, she had mixed feelings of love and hate for it and didn't know what to do. After hearing such difficult learning conditions, Liu Zhuang couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. However, just as she was gazing at Lu Bu's face, strands of dazzling golden silk threads suddenly gushed out from behind her, like a golden peacock spreading its colorful and gorgeous tail feather screen. The thin golden threads danced in the sky, weaving a dense stream of information above her head, like a golden auspicious cloud. [Lü Bu] (Dragon) (Any three attributes +2 (Strength, Agility, Constitution)) Level 10 (Level 7 Cavalry General + Level 2 Warrior + Level 1 Barbarian [Lion Totem]) Health 125, Mana 0 Hit: 17, Defense: 14 (Dodge +7, Fish Scale Armor +7) Strength 24, Agility 24, Constitution 24 Intelligence 9, Wisdom 9, Charisma 9 Liu Zhuang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his double pupils could even see the other party's attributes. Unfortunately, he still couldn't see the dragon blood talent. This person's three physical attributes were already far beyond the 20 limit of normal humans, and even the normal dragon veins. However, the three large golden characters were particularly eye-catching in the concise information flow. Intelligence 9. Isn't the normal IQ of a person 10? Is there a possibility that the reason you cannot learn the magic is not because there is something wrong with the knowledge recorded in the bamboo slips, but because there is something wrong with you??? "Can you lend it to me to have a look? I have also learned to read and write." Liu Zhuang looked at the bamboo slips curiously. Lu Bu was quite surprised to hear that this farmer could actually read. After thinking for a while, he thought that maybe Liu Zhuang could figure out something, so he finally handed the bamboo slips to him. The heavy feel of the slips made his hands sink and he almost couldn't hold it firmly. Liu Zhuang opened it impatiently and took a look. The bamboo slips, which were as heavy as bricks, only recorded a few ninety words. It described a small-scale encounter during the period when King Wu conquered King Zhou, and it was a rare perspective of the Shang Dynasty. However, judging from the material of the bamboo slips and the running script, this was not the original, but a copy made by later generations. This information is indeed valuable and precious, but what kind of magic is it? Liu Zhuang couldn't understand what this historical record had to do with magic, so he read it again carefully. A merchant general stole the power of the gods and fought fiercely with the Zhou army that was punishing him by heaven... Suddenly, tiny strands of golden silk threads gradually emerged from the words carved with knives and axes, and intertwined above the bamboo slips to form the deep meaning behind the words, briefly introducing the merchant's profession: [Profane Priest], a strange profession that can steal the power of the gods. However, this thing is quite incomplete. There is no training method or spellcasting means at all. It only briefly introduces the two most basic professional abilities. [Divine Power Perception]: See through the divine power bestowed by the gods on believers. [Mana Siphon (Level 1)]: Draws 1 mana and a divine spell of up to 1st level from the gods' followers. Liu Zhuang memorized these words carefully. Seeing that he had no reaction for a long time, Lu Bu was a little disappointed and took the bamboo slips back. "It seems that you don't understand either. Okay, don't waste time. Use your invincible reconnaissance ability to help me see how the sentinels of these Xianbei people are deployed." Liu Zhuang nodded and took a quick look. These twenty Han cavalrymen were all warriors, and none of them could cast spells or have divine powers. He had no way of testing whether the so-called [divine power perception] and [mana siphoning] were real, so he shifted his attention from this little story to reconnaissance.
I saw the four pupils of the eyes slightly shrank as they looked at the village in the distance, experimenting with the abilities that had just awakened. His double pupils had very strong eyesight. Even in such a dim night, he could still see the distant scene clearly with the help of the faint light of the stars and the moon. However, his vision could not penetrate houses, walls and other obstacles. He could only see the scene behind through the less dense bushes and treetops. And when one's sight is focused on a certain creature, golden threads will mysteriously emerge from the void and weave his attributes above the enemy's head. The three physical attributes of these centaurs, strength, agility, and physique, are slightly stronger than those of humans, especially strength. The worst is 16, and the strongest centaur has a strength of 22, easily surpassing the Han people's attribute limit of 20. However, the Centaurs' intelligence, charm and other mental attributes are slightly weak, with many of them being in the single digits of 8,9 or 6, and one Centaur's intelligence is even . In other words, Lu Bu's exaggerated attributes of 24 strength, agility, and physique are considered top-notch even among the Centaurs, who are known for their strength.
