Chapter 28: This is an even more fulfilling persona.

Chapter 28: This time the persona is even more fleshed out
In Heine’s opinion, the principle of sneaking was too simple.

It wasn’t really about disappearing into some space, even the collision volume was eliminated.

Instead, he entrusted himself to the “spirits” that existed in the atmosphere to help him conceal himself.

Jianglu has said so much, most of the time on “how to communicate with the spirit”.

Just like a veterinarian teaching his students how to understand the temperament of animals, it is still on the surface.

On the other hand, Heine had already started talking to the Yuan Spirit as if she had no knowledge of it.

This is some kind of “psychic”, the professional counterpart belongs to it.

If it were normal, Jianglu would have been amazed at Heine’s talent.

But now, she only had eyes for that flea-like red masked skeleton.

How was he so fast!

Mr. Natsu kept disappearing and soon appeared in various parts of the room, shouting in delight.

“I can sneak! I can sneak now! I’m not a dagger warrior anymore!”

Mr. Sa was puzzled, “Doesn’t sneaking slow you down?”

“Sneaking starts at a flat speed at level three and speeds up with each upgrade after that, my level six sneaking basically increases my movement speed by 40%.”

Catching Sheep exclaimed, “What the hell …… did you inherit your skill level as well?”

“Why can’t I inherit it? The skill levels are all from my hard work and practice ah ……”

Right!

Heine suddenly woke up.

Unlike him who had only just learned to sneak, as a level 44 Wanderer, Mr. Xia had already mastered this skill, so why would he have to practice it from scratch like him?

It was no different from the inheritance of combat skills.

This was three players after all.

What had they gotten as players over their long gaming careers?
Was it those dazzling panel values and brilliant equipment pages?
No, no, no, those were all leased to them by the game company.

What they really have is this wonderful and colorful gaming life in the past.

Maybe it’s insights, maybe it’s experiences, maybe it’s experiences.

A life lost belongs only to those who experienced it and cannot be taken away from anyone.

So even after crossing over, they still seamlessly inherit almost all of their combat skills and adventuring experience.

The same goes for skill mastery.

Skills are like using smooth weapons over a long gaming career.

Just because the weapon is gone doesn’t mean that the experience of using it goes with it.

Now that Heine had retrieved the weapon for him, everything fell into place.

Thinking of this, Heine couldn’t help but ponder.

The role he was playing seemed to be some sort of …… guide?
…

“Then won’t Heine have to ‘unlock’ whatever skills he wants in the future?”

Sa always felt like the future was gray.

He was a male skeleton who wanted to tame beasts ……

“It shouldn’t be that bad.” Mr. Xia deliberated, “How can I put it, I think it’s like taking a shortcut. Sneaking in the game is as simple as activating the skill, but to communicate with the spirits in this world, I have to follow the rules as well.

“Before, I couldn’t enter the dive because I didn’t understand the principle of the skill at all, and as for communicating with the meta-spirit it was even more of a waste of time, but just now I suddenly realized it, it’s like ……”

Catch the Goat: “It’s like we usually understand Heine’s words?”

“Yes, yes, yes, Brother Goat is right, it’s that kind of feeling. You can’t understand his language, but you can understand his meaning! I would call it the most efficient communication!”

Catch the Goat thoughtfully, “Does anyone come to mind for you guys?”

“Who?”

“Sebitiga.”

Catch the Goat said, “This world started out with no Transcendents, mortals had no access to Transcendent energies. It was Seion who mastered the art of communicating with the elements and meta-spirits and popularized it, which gave birth to the Transcendents.

“We were outsiders, we were completely new to the powers of this world, no better than the original people. And so Heine became our ‘Seion’, which is exactly the same thing.”

The two pondered the implications of this, and coincidentally remembered Catch the Sheep’s last mention of the “Children of the Divine Order” statement.

The two seemed to vaguely overlap.

Hearing this, Heine also clarified the situation.

He is not only a guide, but also a “translator”.

He was a “translator” who passed on information between the natives and the travelers in the transcendental realm.

This means that he doesn’t have to learn a bunch of useless stuff to “unlock” skills like a toolman.

The point is to help his undead understand it all in the right way.

So essentially it’s still breaking down information barriers, which is the most efficient means of doing so.

–Of course, he could still go on his own if that was not possible.

After figuring all this out, he felt suddenly much more relaxed.

But even though he had figured it out, someone else seemed to have gone insane.

Jianglu grabbed him by the arm.

“Can you give her back to me?”

“What?”

Heine froze.

“What do you mean?”

“Your skeleton …… No, she’s not yours, she belongs in the Whispering Forest! Belongs to the Court of Emerald Leaves! I’m taking her away!”

Jianglu’s eyes suddenly reddened.

Quickly realizing her outburst, she whispered an apology and turned around to wipe her eyes.

Heine had a head full of questions.

What’s going on here?
Mr. Xia: “Why aren’t they talking anymore?”

Catch the Goat: “Probably scared by the way you got carried away just now.”

Teacher Xia: “As an elf wanderer, it makes sense for me to get stimulated and have my memory revived, right? Now that’s a more fleshed out persona, look at her crying. Jianglu but a lot of her comrades have died in the Blight Trail.” Chief Sa hemmed and hawed, “Maybe she recognized you as her sister, Jiang Lu had a real sister in the past who was parasitized into the Queen of Thorns and was eventually stabbed to death by her own hand. I squatted there for a year in Phaedra, that’s a familiar story.”

“Get outta here, Mr. Sa!”

Mr. Xia broke into a vicious sweat.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

…

Jianglu quickly recovered.

She first apologized for her earlier outburst, then spoke:

“I want to write a letter, and Cui Ye Ting will pay the ransom for me.”

Heine froze, “You’re not going to try again?”

Jianglu’s eyes darkened and she shook her head.

“That’s enough for today, I’m tired.”

I already have my answer.

She couldn’t help but feel another pang of heartache at the thought.

Hiss ……

Heine’s heart tightened.

It wouldn’t be true what Mr. Sa had said, would it?
……

The next afternoon, Heine brought three skeletons and a captive to the barracks in Ebony Town.

An acquaintance went out to greet him.

“Greetings, Jalen!”

Heine enthused.

“Hello, Mr. Advisor.”

Squadron Leader Jaren was a little flattered by the intimate call.

He stepped forward to pick up Heine from the car and gave a surprised look when he saw Jianglu.

“Mr. Advisor, she’s ……”

Heine knew he was worried about being seen by Jianglu and leaking secrets or something.

“It’s fine, just take me straight to the drill ground, it won’t go through the interior of the barracks.”

“Okay.”

Ten minutes later, the group arrived at the empty drill ground along the path outside the barracks.

“Alright, let’s start.”

After thanking Lieutenant Jelen for accompanying him, Heine urged.

He’d made some more attempts at lunch, but skills other than sneaking were less audible.

He didn’t have a wanderer base, after all.

It was Jianglu who suggested the “physical” method.

But judging from the nostalgic look in her eyes, she probably just wanted to play a few moves with the person she remembered.

The two wanderers stood facing each other.

The elf took a deep breath.

“The essence of the Dark Shadow Strike is the attachment of shadow energy, from which it is exchanged for sharper kills and stronger impacts, in addition to the accumulation of shadow energy on the one hand, it is a reinforcement of oneself, but also penetrates the opponent ……”

She mumbled to herself as she slowly demonstrated the maneuver.

Just as a layer of dark purple light was attached to the dagger, she suddenly activated it and the tip of the dagger violently stabbed at the opponent’s wrist!

Ding!
This violent attack was perfectly blocked by Ms. Xia.

Natsu: “Hey hey hey! I knew she’d pull a sneak attack, how many times have I been undermined by this woman before!”

…

Jianglu’s originally calm mood, on the other hand, stirred up once again.

Only she ……

Only she can do this ……

“…… Hee hee, I’ve seen through all your little maneuvers Oh!”

Jianglu quickly broke free from her memories, her dagger turning into a stream of purple light as she attacked her opponent.

…

Mr. Xia: “No, why is she looking at me wrong?”

Catch the Goat: “What’s that saying, ‘Now that’s a more fleshed out persona’.”

Mr. Sa: “Hey, hey, Goat is right!”

Mr. Xia: “You guys get lost!”

…

Jianglu suddenly stood on her right foot and lightly jumped behind her opponent on the axis of her half-body, her purple-dyed dagger swinging down heavily!
Ding!
As if Mr. Xia had eyes behind him, he once again blocked the strike with his backhand.

However, under the impact of the Dark Violet Strike, he was still sent stumbling.

Darknut Dew quickly followed up.

At this point, the two had already exchanged dozens of back and forth blows, and a dark purple film gradually lingered on Jianglu’s body.

Her movements were also swifter than before, and her body was lighter.

Under the attribute gap, Mr. Xia had begun to lose track of his opponent’s movements.

Catch the Goat: “Is this her entering the ‘Shadow Combo’ state?”

Mr. Sa: “How do you not keep up with her combos ah my Xia, do you not know how to fight a civil war?”

Mr. Xia: “Shut up! Dude’s in enlightenment!”

Enlightenment?

Startled, Heine looked closely and realized that a dark purple silk thread was attached to Mr. Xia.

The source of the silk thread was actually the dark purple film on Jiang Lu’s body?
