Updated soon? Hmm... let me think about it, hhh, the author is a part-time worker! Chapter 41, Scabbard (First Order) Eleven talent points are not too many, but not too few either. Victor thought about it and didn't decide to use them all. He thought about it and decided to upgrade the character panel first. Almost all advanced talents after panel upgrades require level ten to continue to be unlocked, even for the easiest task panels, but at least the panel upgrade itself will bring great core improvements. After the mission (J) is upgraded, there are two daily missions. Although it looks quite weak, it is generally an improvement of 100%. Considering that the character panel is his most core panel, both [Attribute Correction] and [Special Talent] have greatly improved him now. In any case, an option that is guaranteed not to lose money has been added.
Then, he gained a new skill: [Exploration] Yes, after the character panel was upgraded to the second level, it did not usher in the accelerated upgrade or attribute improvement that Victor had imagined. Instead, similar to the map panel giving a skill at the beginning, it also gave a unique basic function of the character panel. Exploration: You can use magic attacks and scans to explore the enemy's attributes and some weaknesses, but be aware that random exploration may cause disgust from the strong. Well, a reconnaissance skill that is better than nothing is not bad. Victor tried it with Altluki. It's a pity that this detection can only be used to detect other people's attributes and strengths. There is no way to detect items, equipment, or the character's background. It is a bit similar to the eyes of the Master in the Holy Grail War - the kind that can see the basic attribute panel. But...it should be able to be upgraded later, right? With the improvement of the character panel, if one day he feels that he can see through the color of the enemy's underwear at a glance, then this skill will be considered a magical skill. With this in mind, Naturally, Viktor's talent points became 7, which is a very auspicious number. The effect brought by the attribute correction sounds very grand, but in fact, when Victor felt it, he found that it was nothing more than an improvement in the benefits of his main attributes (magic/spirit). The magic power in his body became much richer, and the flow speed was once again enhanced. In a sense, it is a professional characteristic. Instead, the drawing of [Special Talent] brought him a surprise. He was now level 8 and had two chances to draw. Talent [Fire Arsonist]: A regular talent for spellcasting. The power of fire skills is increased by 10%. Skill [Water Transformation]: Spellcasting, Water, Continuous, transforms oneself into water element in whole or in part, possessing all the properties of water and being immune to some physical damage, lasts for up to ten seconds. The first one was mediocre, but the second one was quite a surprise. Frankly speaking, in the concept of modern magic, manipulating water is easy, but turning into water... that is already considered a top research topic. It is not impossible, because the essence of magic is "distortion". Theoretically, similar effects can be achieved through various schools of magic such as alchemy, material transformation, and even element reorganization, but... the cost is also very huge. Just like in the records of magic in the Age of Gods, there is a ceremonial spell called the Earth Coffin, which can turn a person into dust in an instant, avoid irresistible damage, and then be reborn in the earth. The theory is nothing more than copying and reorganizing the body with the "spiritual soil" somewhere in the earth, and finally transferring the soul. However, its difficulty is such that only a few people have been able to perform it so far. Even if it is released successfully, it will require a huge amount of magic power and spell materials -
Therefore, even though this ability only lasts for ten seconds and seems like something that has come from another world, it is a very good skill for Victor. Most importantly, it is a skill. He can be strengthened by the skill space! [Water Elementalization]: Passive, Legendary, Elemental, Continuous, Physical Immune, Enhanced resistance to specific element (water), completely transforms itself into water element, possesses all the properties of water and is immune to physical attacks, and is immune to the influence of some water-attributed skills. Requirements: 200 essence, 1 talent point, legendary value>2, racial characteristics [Fantasy], elemental skills above Lv7, cursed body [Slime] related*1. [Crimson Pool]: Active, epic, blood magic (automatically strengthened in the Blood Domain Maze), continuous, physical immunity, enhanced resistance to specific elements, merges itself into the blood pool of the Blood Domain Maze, while being immune to physical attacks, it will cause the "Blood Lost" effect to the enemy it touches and absorb vitality. Requirements: After unlocking the inherent barrier [Blood Domain Lost], it will be automatically enhanced and unlocked. He can possess both powerful skills! Buy one get two free! The only problem is... Victor looked at the requirements for elementalization. He already met all the requirements. He was a fantasy type, and his water magic was level 6. He was just a little short of upgrading, and it would probably be quick, but... It's this slime's cursed body. Who knows where to find it? ! …… Three days later, Victor passed through the land of Crolia again and returned to the route he had escaped from before. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Just half a month ago, when he first had an impression of this land, he was still an ignorant ivory tower magician who was traveling far away for the first time. He was cautious but lacked a sense of crisis. But half a month later, when he came back again, he no longer needed to fear those unknown fears, because he... had become one of the so-called fears. Thinking of this, he gently stretched out his hand and touched the empty air in front of him. He heard a gentle rippling sound, and ripples slowly emerged. "This is it." Victor raised his head slowly. Behind him... the pale-faced villains hiding in the mist showed their claws. "Go in. Remember, you can suck blood, but... you can't kill people." Victor suddenly raised his arm, and the world-breaking spell suddenly turned into seven shining marks that broke the barrier in front of him with a bang. This was a secret technique taught by Altluchi. Along with the sound of the barrier breaking, the originally dry scenery was instantly covered by a lush green forest - it was not easy to find this place. In order to find this hidden area, Victor almost had his dead apostles search all the noble territories that had been conferred in Germany. Ha, this is a very familiar scene. Victor strolled in the forest, and only when he saw this place could he remember it again. That past life and life that are becoming increasingly blurred in memory. Hello there. Einzbern. This is a castle, and Victor needs to find what he wants in this castle... scabbard. …… Chapter 42, Yubusta Kuhaid (First Order)
It is worth mentioning that these dead apostles brought by Victor were not Altluki’s subordinates, but were directly found by Altluki along the way as princesses, or were freshly created "cannon fodder". But it’s not quite right to say that they are not part of Altluki’s forces at all. After all, after a few days of gathering, Victor had come to realize that, compared to the White Wing Duke who owned the largest territory and faction among the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles, Altluchi was more like a protector needed by other Dead Apostles who opposed the White Wing Duke's forces. In addition, a considerable number of forces under Altluchi are actually magicians. That's right, the magus who fell into the category of a dead apostle. Altluchi has two major hobbies in her life. One is to run around everywhere, and the other is to give those very interesting magicians, or magicians who pursue her power, the status of Dead Apostles while running around. However, this behavior, which was just a hobby for her, was considered as a sign of expanding power by the other 27 ancestors of the Dead Apostles, such as Bai Yigong, and thus she was given the title of King of the Dead Apostles, and at the same time attracted a large number of followers who believed it to be true. What’s interesting is that Altluci condoned this behavior and also acquiesced to the White Wing Prince’s remarks that he viewed her as a threat. Perhaps, in her heart, she also has the will and belief to become the true "King of the Dead Apostles". At that time, Victor looked at the sickle named "King of the Dead" in his hand and felt deeply moved. And what about Artluki? Although she likes to run around and has no fixed territory, and her power is scattered all over the place, but according to her, no matter what, these guys are using her name, or they have indeed received the protection of Artluci herself. Therefore, this kind of protection also comes at a price. At least, when Artelluci came to them, they couldn't and would not refuse. …… In fact, at the beginning, Victor had no intention of using these cannon fodder. Letting Arteluchee gather forces was just for future planning. After all...even though his strength was suppressed by 50% now, he still had Arteluchee by his side, as well as the team mode consisting of the Black Knight and the White Beast. Basically, it was a state of whoever stood in his way would die. As for Victor's target, the Einzbern family... well, in the final analysis, it is just a family of androids, and even the head of the family is just a disciple of the third magician... It's just a humanoid terminal. If he can lose even when playing against a computer, he has no right to dream of becoming the greatest magician in the world, and he even disdains the position of the King of the Dead Apostles. But just as the boss would not personally take action even if he is a programming expert, as the current White Knight, Victor naturally has his own value. Of course, Altluchi's opinion is also very important. She wanted to disgust the White Winged Prince. In other words, increase your stakes. She had not yet informed Lord White Wing of her return, and the latter was still overwhelmed by the Magician's Association and worldly factors. But after this matter is over, the unfinished negotiations between the two will be restarted. If Altluchi had just participated casually before, things were different after Victor came along. Victor advises her to… take the initiative. If it was just one person invading or overwhelming everyone, the Church and the Magic Association might try to settle the matter peacefully... give the Einzbern family some compensation and then make an announcement and that would be it.
But if it was a large-scale invasion, an illegal gathering of the Dead Apostles... That's another meaning. Especially now... Germany is in a sensitive period of secular politics, and any disturbance will affect the international situation. Victor narrowed his eyes, 1989. The Berlin Wall fell. And now, in this time of turmoil in the city, although this place is very, very far away from Berlin, but... The Magic Association will never allow any threat that may lead to the secret being leaked to occur. Germany is one of the most important territories of the White Wing Prince. Regardless of whether he caused the trouble or not, he will definitely be half responsible in the end. In this regard, Artluqi gave absolute support. That's what it is. This princess was attacked because of your invitation. While this princess and her people were being attacked by the church in all its might, you were dealing with the Magic Association in order to consolidate your power and your base. Now that I have recovered, it is naturally your turn to deal with the Magic Association with all your strength. While diverting their attention, you can give me a break. Altluchi liked Victor's proposal very much, and for this reason, she even gave absolute orders to the cannon fodder she had found. It has to be said that this group of cannon fodder did save Victor a lot of effort in finding hiding places. If he really had to look for it on his own... I don't know when he would find it. At this moment, when the barrier was broken, the current patriarch of the Einzbern family, "Ahad", who was the eighth-generation "Ubusta Kuhaid", had already noticed it. He looked sharply at the silent forest and activated the guard system of all the androids. For a moment, all the robots in the castle stopped their ongoing work and actions, and their lifeless eyes lit up with the magic autonomous counterattack system. While on alert, a few robots even broke into the forest and actively searched for invaders. What must be mentioned here is that although the Einzbern family had long lost most of the relevant information about the third generation of magicians, its reputation in the world has gradually declined. However, in order to maintain their ambition to regain the Third Law and the Holy Grail War, they had to use their exceptionally skilled artificial human technology to raise funds and gain some fame in the world. This means that, except for some androids that maintain the basic operation of the castle, the power of the Einzbern family, although not reflected in the original work, is actually like the Thousand Worlds Tree, with a large number of combat puppets and androids as defense projects. The entire castle is famous as Ahad's magic workshop. At least... so far, no magician has ever appeared who has broken through the Einzbern Castle. Ahad is quite confident on this point. After all... in the eyes of the real big guys, the Einzbern family, which has nothing to do with the Third Law at all... is nothing worth paying attention to. However, Ahad, who was so confident, felt more and more that something was wrong after five minutes, because there had been no news from the artificial humans who had entered the forest. A human-like frown appeared on his old face, and he slowly stood up and walked out of the room. Then he saw it...in the forest.
There were all kinds of strange things rushing towards them, some were pale, some were not in human form, and even... some were like wild beasts - Dead Apostles! Chapter 43, What scabbard? (First order required) The cold wind blew across Ahad's old face, mixed with a hint of blood. This smell did not come from the artificial humans, because even if the puppets were given humanity, they would not have blood. As Ahad walked out of the door, Victor, as an invader, naturally would not hide any longer. He walked through the opening torn out by his subordinates, looking coldly at the broken parts and limbs on the ground, as well as the maid who was still resisting under the body of a beast-like Dead Apostle, but her eyes were gradually dimming and her face was expressionless.
