Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 111 Special Reward (1)
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he immediately realized that something was wrong. How could he publicly call the old man by his nickname in front of him? This was so disrespectful to the boss, I was afraid he would make things difficult for me. He stopped talking immediately, bent down and bowed, and changed the topic to say, "Respected Lord Death, why are you here?"
The old man glanced at me with a half-smile, but luckily he didn't pull my pigtails. "The world is so big, there's no place I can't go. I don't need to notify anyone in advance, right?"
I hurriedly put on a smile and said, "Of course, but where is Lord Saint Mage Yigfil who is presiding over the promotion ceremony here? I need to give him the promotion task." I had carefully looked around the hall but did not see Yigfil. Could it be that he was sent out by that old man to do something?
"Why are you looking for Yigfil when I'm here? Am I not qualified to preside over your promotion ceremony?"
"Hey, look at what you said. Since the respected God of Death is willing to personally preside over my promotion ceremony, I would naturally be more than happy to do so. It's just that I was a little surprised that you suddenly took over."
Business is important, so I don't want to chat with the old man. I quickly presented the task scroll. The old man didn't say any more nonsense. He checked it according to the procedure and officially announced that I had completed the seventh-level professional promotion task and was promoted to the Necromancer. The system also issued a notice at the same time: "Congratulations to player Ah Dai for being the first to be promoted to the seventh-level professional Necromancer!" Then it prompted me to reward 3% of my qualifications. This time I was the only one who enjoyed the honor, and it was no longer attached to the Supreme Honor as a suffix. In the future, when I compete for the eighth-level profession, I should have a little advantage and won't be pressed so hard by the Supreme Honor.
A promotion ceremony was held to improve the basic attribute values. The most important mental power naturally received the largest increase, from the fifth level and fourth stage dark cyan to the sixth level and second stage light blue, maintaining the relatively high improvement speed of basic mental power, so that it would not be so easily surpassed by other dual magic professions of the necromancer. The second is the health and physical value, which rose by two levels to the third level and fifth stage dark yellow; the strength value also increased a little bit, entering the second level and fifth stage dark orange threshold, and the agility value did not improve much because the basic attribute value was already high and the necromancer did not pay attention to this attribute, so it remained at the fourth level and first stage light green level.
Due to my outstanding performance in the promotion task, I defeated the old enemy, the light profession, and became the first player in the world to be promoted to the seventh-level profession as a necromancer. Therefore, I also received special rewards in terms of professional skills and was able to learn the eighth-level professional skill "Unparalleled Guardian". This is a protective magic that forms a light light black shield around the body. Although it can only be used to protect the body, it has a very good protective effect, reducing 50% of the magic attack damage and 25% of the physical attack damage. For the necromancer with low defense ability, a powerful skill to enhance defense has finally appeared. Think about it, before I could only rely on the relatively low-level "three shields to protect the body" as a means of protection, and the effect of the improvement was limited. In front of other professional players whose attack power has been significantly enhanced, the fragile "necromancer shield" became more and more vulnerable, and almost lost the meaning of protection. It was not until the eighth-level profession that new powerful protective skills appeared. The system is really harsh on necromancers.
Although the protective effect is good, "Unparalleled Guardian" is not so perfect. On the one hand, it takes a long time to cast. Even with my casting speed, it takes about a minute. When I am attacked suddenly, I will definitely not be able to finish it in time. Therefore, shooters, assassins and thieves will still be my nemesis. On the other hand, it consumes a lot of mental power. Each time "Unparalleled Guardian" is cast, it will last for a fixed time of five minutes. Even with my high mental value, it will consume 3% of mental power. Other necromancers must consume a higher proportion. After casting "Pet Summoning" and "Undead Summoning", it is difficult to maintain "Unparalleled Guardian" for as long as other magic professions cast protective magic.
After completing these, I said hello to the dead old man and prepared to leave. I had obtained what I deserved, and now my basic mental strength had been greatly improved. I couldn't help but rush into the "Dead Space" to see if I could easily subdue the terrifying bull or even the terrifying ground dragon knight, and realize another renewal of the main combat arms.
"Hey, Ah Dai, I haven't finished explaining things yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the old man stopped him.
"Oh, respected Lord Death, do you have anything else to say?" I paused somewhat reluctantly. This old man is the most annoying and talks a lot of nonsense. It's not easy for him to show his face in front of others. Maybe he doesn't want to go back so soon and wants to ask me to chat with him for a while? I am a busy man with many things to do. I have already finished my work. How can I have time to chat with him here?
"Didn't Yigfil tell you that you would get extra rewards if you completed this specially designed promotion task?"
Hey, what does that mean? In addition to the additional basic attribute value rewards and the cross-level professional skill rewards, are there other rewards? I couldn't help but be excited, thinking of the mysterious disappearance of Yigfeier, and the dead old man came to support the overall situation. Could it be that he wanted to give me "Control of Death" as a reward so that I could match it with "Touch of Death", and Yigfeier had to reluctantly give it up, so he avoided me?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was possible. I was delighted and my expression became more and more respectful. I stood with my hands clasped together, pretending to be calm on the surface. "Lord Yigfeier did tell me that once I successfully complete the promotion task, I will get extra rewards. However, I thought it was only extra rewards for basic attribute values and professional skills. I wonder if there are any other rewards?"
The old man didn't answer my question directly. He put his right hand into his arms first. My heart was immediately tightened. "Death Control", "Death Control"... I couldn't help but silently chant, hoping that my wish would come true. After a short pause, he finally pulled his hand out. The result disappointed me greatly. It was not the artifact glove I imagined, but just an ordinary scroll used to record things. That's true. How can you reward a magic weapon for completing a promotion task? It's too cheap for me. If the magic weapon is so easy to get, there won't be only five in the whole world so far.
