Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 91: Seizing Power and Pulling Teeth (1)
Although the image of the "Super Pig Head" is really not very good-looking, the burning gazes and various expressions of the increasing number of onlookers along the way also made my heart feel uneasy. I had the idea of leaving the bustling city and returning to the deserted "Dead Space" several times, and waiting until it was restored to its original state before completing the promotion task. However, after I gritted my teeth and endured this most difficult journey, I arrived at the Thieves Guild and handed over the crystal bottle full of "royal jelly" to the ninth-level NPC Thief Saint who was in charge of the promotion task for acceptance, the generous rewards I received finally comforted me a little - I not only completed the promotion task of the Great Thief, but also became the first Undead Wizard in the whole "World" to obtain the highest level of evaluation in the fifth-level promotion task of the second profession. Therefore, both the basic attribute values and professional skills have received super value promotion rewards.
After passing the promotion ceremony, the second job title changed from Senior Thief to Great Thief, and the five basic attribute values were also improved to varying degrees. The most important thing for the Thief job is naturally the agility value, and I have a two-and-a-half-star innate attribute, which is considered to be at an average level, so it changed from heavy yellow to light green. Compared with the Thief, Assassin or Archer jobs that are known for their agility, it is naturally far inferior, but among the magicians who can step into the threshold of the fourth color, I am afraid that I am the best in terms of agility alone.
What I am most concerned about is definitely the mental power attribute. I have always been worried that the original base is too high. It has reached the middle of the fifth color and I am afraid that it will be difficult to make any progress. Fortunately, it may be because of the attribute reward, and my innate wisdom is the highest five-star, finally becoming a heavy cyan. Although it is only a little bit higher, it is already precious - even in the same color, each stage of light, shallow, medium, heavy, and deep represents a qualitative change. Since I was promoted to the sixth-level professional necromancer, I have signed so many "soul contracts", and the mental power limit has increased slightly, but the basic mental power has not been able to break through this threshold.
The health and stamina values turned into medium yellow, both increased by one level, which was expected, but the strength value turned from the original light orange to heavy orange, and it was just a little bit away from reaching dark orange, which was a surprise for me with only half a star of innate strength. After all, thieves also make a living by physical attacks. Without strength, there is no attack power. How can you stab the opponent to death with a small dagger?
The newly mastered fifth-level thief's professional skill is "Stealth", which was originally a skill that only the sixth-level thief was qualified to learn, which is equivalent to a cross-level reward. It has the effect of invisibility, and can quietly lurk near the opponent and wait for an opportunity to act, but it cannot carry out various direct attacks during the period. If you want to launch an attack, you must first remove the "Stealth" state. It is generally used for reconnaissance or assassination. It can be said that it is the most threatening skill that thieves and assassins can use to compete with other professional players. In theory, there is no time limit for performing "Stealth", but it will continue to consume a lot of mental energy. It also limits the invisible state. Other players cannot cast spells or take potions to recover, and it cannot be maintained for a long time. Moreover, although you cannot see your trace in the invisible state, if you move too much and make a sound, you may be noticed by people nearby. If you want to quietly lurk near your opponent, you must be extremely careful. Even if you have learned this skill, it is difficult to use it smoothly without accumulating rich experience.
I shamelessly rushed to the Thieves Guild to complete the promotion. After that, I never dared to wander around the human world with a "pig head" image. As soon as I was resurrected, I hurried to seek death, and endured the edema in the "Dead Space". There was nothing for me to do in the "Valley of the Wind" for the time being. In addition to the Ghost King, I was too lazy to directly subdue the ordinary Devouring Ghosts, leaving Xiaobai here to take care of the aftermath . It had just replaced the position of the Ghost Banshee, and it would take some time to fully control the four or five hundred thousand Devouring Ghosts. Fifty-three Ghost Kings were also left to it to help it sort out the relationship as soon as possible. I took Taotao and the others back to the Terrible Knight's territory, and subdued several "Corpse Mothers" with an area of hundreds of square meters along the way. Facing the undead army of more than 5,000 people led by me, the other undead creatures in the "Free Territory" fled in fear and hid far away early in the morning. I was unwilling to delay the time to catch up. Only these "Corpse Mothers" that moved extremely slowly could not escape and became my prey.
After being promoted to a great thief, although the basic mental power was only slightly improved, it was of great benefit to me. I could easily subdue the Horror Lion Knight and gradually replace the Horror Bear Knight, realizing another transformation of the main combat arms of the Undead Legion. However, it was not enough for me to subdue the Horror Bull Knight. I caught several guys in a row, but they all failed after hundreds of attempts. I didn't want to continue to insist - the upcoming war with the Witch King Graveson and the Blood Lich Douglas is estimated to require at least tens of thousands of Horror Knights. Once the war starts, we must try our best to ensure the supply of troops and seize the time to expand the team. Moreover, through the small-scale undead wars with corpse witches and the battle with the ghost banshee in the "Valley of the Wind", the qualification value of the sixth-level profession is almost full. If I work hard for a while, I can be promoted to the seventh-level professional Undead Magister. At that time, the problem will be solved. There is no need to waste too much time on the Horror Bull Knight now.
After more than two months of soaking in the "blood pool", the blood bat couple's baby was finally born from the mother's body, but it is still a blood-red round egg about half a meter long. It needs to be carefully nurtured for a period of time, absorb a lot of nutrients and energy, and gradually grow to more than one meter tall. It can only hatch after it is fully formed. I personally visited them once and praised the blood bat couple. They had been struggling for several months before, and they had consumed a lot of energy to nurture the baby. For the time being, they can only stay in the "blood pool" to recuperate. After waiting for another half a month, the bat demon Dika will recover the energy consumed by giving me the "First Embrace", and then he can continue to perform the "First Embrace" to help them evolve into "Silver Line Blood Bats" and further improve their strength.
It was confirmed from the Bat Demon Tika that there was indeed a "vampire fang" in the blood egg. Because of the adequate supply of nutrients and the fact that the silver-lined blood bats spewed "blood evil" to provide it with a "snack" every day, the creature was developing well and should have better innate qualifications.
