Chapter 95 – A New Source of Experience
The twin moons slowly rose, the cool light spilling down from between the cracks of the trees.
The messenger squad consisting of Lavan and Mr. Xia was traveling on the road.
Ravan looked up at the front from time to time.
The skeleton with the red turban was playing a game he couldn’t understand.
It was “twinkling” like a star.
It appeared and disappeared.
After watching it for a long time, he noticed a pattern.
The other party would always appear where the moonlight spilled.
Then it would disappear completely the moment it touched the shadows.
Even if he couldn’t read it anymore, it was enough to understand that this was an extremely skillful sneaking technique.
Moreover, the other party was actually faster than him even after playing like this, and he actually had to use all his strength to catch up with the other party.
If Mr. Xia knew what he was thinking, he would most likely burst out laughing.
In fact, he was just idly stepping on the grid, and “practicing his skills” in the meantime.
The moonlight was divided into black and white grids by the shade of the trees, and he moved forward in one direction, making sure that he always appeared in the black grid and dived into the white grid.
Wanderer players refer to this as “Piano Foot”.
This is the fastest way to increase your sneaking proficiency.
It’s not the slow, snail-like movement that most people think of when you’re sneaking.
Rather, frequent in and out dives, practicing this action in a dynamic manner as if you were eating and drinking water is enough to cover static practice.
The maps in AGE are quite realistically large.
Most players will choose to switch game modes, or “assisted hosting”, when they are in a hurry.
This mode is similar to autopilot, with obstacle avoidance and emergency avoidance features.
This allows you to open the game’s built-in forums or chat groups to relax.
But Mr. Xia wasn’t used to that.
Instead, he enjoyed the boring exercises.
Now that there was no data feedback, he didn’t know if the proficiency was rising or not.
But he couldn’t change this habit for a while.
He also added an item to himself, looking back to see if the kid was following when he entered the dive.
It’s a pain in the ass with kids.
Suddenly, the moment he turned around, he realized that this guy was also entering the dive.
Probably hot from watching, couldn’t help but follow suit.
Only Ravan’s speed would be slow, and because of his eagerness to hurry, he was forced to show himself just after entering the dive.
He looked down at his hands in bewilderment, a little confused.
A classic rookie mistake – trying to pick up speed on a dive results in too much movement resulting in an out dive.
Diving was like wearing a thin, cicada-like invisibility cloak over your body, and a slightly more violent movement would break the cloak.
Leveling up sneak does not increase the durability of the suit, but rather represents an increase in the wanderer’s ability to adapt.
That’s why Mr. Xia was able to bring the sneaking technique over from the game.
Looking at Ravan’s clumsy appearance, he couldn’t help but think of the novices he had taught.
“Why don’t we just find something to do, or we’ll die of boredom ……”
So he knocked on a tree trunk.
Lavan looked up in surprise.
He saw the red-hooded skeleton do a textbook jog-in-dive demonstration.
His movements were as light as a feather, and suddenly he was out of the air.
Ravan’s eyes went straight as he watched.
Is this …… teaching me?
……
The next morning, a man and a skeleton had returned.
Still, they were sent back by the giant eagle of the Cuiye Court.
Mr. Xia delivered the return letter to Heine.
But Heine didn’t rush to open it, but communicated with him using psionics.
He inexplicably found an extra amount of experience in the morning, or cold combat experience.
“You taught that half-elf some combat skills last night?” He asked.
“No.”
“Then …… non-combat skills?”
“Yes.”
“Like sneaking?”
“Yes.”
“What about his talent?”
Silence.
Outward silence, of course.
Behind the scenes–
Mr. Summer: “Help, Goat, how do you say ‘not bad, not bad at all’ in Common?”
Good guy, live “Sheep Song Translation”, right?
Sheep Catching: “Don’t set yourself up for this kind of problem, okay?”
But he still gave a statement.
“Thank you, Brother Goat!”
Mr. Xia immediately replied: “Not bad.”
Heine stifled a smile as she interrupted her psychic spell and patted the guy on the shoulder.
“Good job.”
Then he shared a share of his experience with the other.
Mr. Xia: “Hahaha well done! Really take the experience!”
Catching Sheep: “What’s going on? How come someone started rolling behind the brothers’ backs?”
Mr. Xia then briefly talked about teaching Lavan to sneak last night.
The other two were silent.
It could still be like this?
Catch the Goat: “I think Heine is already thinking of ideas, we might have to face a bunch of budding natives soon.”
Guardian Iris: “What can I teach about this? This place just doesn’t have a few law faculties, I’m not going to teach them how to cook ……”
Teacher Xia: “Don’t ah Wei, Shadow Arrow!”
Wei Diankui suddenly had a bright idea: “Crap, that idiot in the gladiator arena – he’s old, I should be able to get a lot of experience by teaching him, right?”
It makes sense ……
As Heine listened to their brainstorming, a bold idea gradually came to his mind.
If these three brothers and sisters were to be the “instructors for new recruits”, then would the combat experience be settled once for each new recruit?
There is a messy ah ……
He held back his excitement.
Not now, and not here.
There were other things to do right now.
He opened the letter first and read it twice.
Jianglu already knew that there would be a wave of strong enemies in the future and had sent scouts in the direction of the Blight Trail to check it out.
She had also sent this large bird as a messenger between Cuiye Court and the Eastern Suburb Farm.
After arranging these trivial matters to Todd and complimenting Lavan twice, Heine left the eastern suburbs with the skeleton.
Of course, it was a temporary departure.
He had made an appointment to meet with “Mage Naga”, and now it was time to fulfill that appointment.
……
Noon in the parlor of the lord’s mansion.
Mage Naga, or rather Megumi, was already waiting here.
Seeing Heine appear, she played Naga to greet Heine while greeting the three.
Weidian Kite did not make a sound, perhaps she was shy, or perhaps she was high strung.
For Huihui, she was not surprised.
Wei was still an introverted social terrorist with her.
But after surveying the three skeletons, she wondered:
“Huh? Where’s Mr. Sa?”
Mr. Xia: “It’s a long story …… Why don’t we let Wei speak, he’s the complete witness.”
Hui Hui: “That’s not good, he seems to be quite sociopathic, don’t force people.”
“Hahahahaha ……”
Before she could finish her sentence, the other two were already laughing.
Catching Sheep: “…… This is definitely the second funniest joke I’ve ever heard, Northeasterners, talk!”
Wei Temple Iris: “Do ha ah? Say what ah?”
This middle air full of thick voice can not hear half a bit of social terrorism flavor ……
Hui Hui’s face almost did not strain.
“Ah? You …… you turned out not to be a social terrorist ah?”
Wei Temple Iris: “? When did I say I’m sociopathic?”
“But you didn’t say a word when you first came ……”
“That’s because I’m a high strung person, I don’t like to talk.”
“Hahahahaha ……”
Wei Temple Iris: “You two laugh dee it, I really don’t love to talk, buddy in front of outsiders pure pure people ruthless words not much.”
Huihui: “…… I slow down, I feel like I have to reacquaint myself with you.”
…
Genuinely difficult for Huihui.
Secretly listening to the big ballast-flavored storytelling, her face doesn’t move as she interacts with Heine.
After a simple exchange of information, Heine asked directly:
“Do you understand what happened in Cuiye Court?”
Megumi nodded, “Yes. It’s impossible for me not to have heard about such a big commotion in Cui Ye Ting, and I already handed in the report three days ago.”
“Did you mention me in your report?”
Huihui shook her head, “No, I didn’t even know you were involved in this matter.”
The story wasn’t finished yet, she really didn’t know at the moment.
“My informants weren’t deep enough into the battlefield and only saw the floating city from afar.
“Another informant from within the Brotherhood told me that it was Eric Strong who showed up that day.
“Later, he explained the incident to the public by placing most of the blame on the Servants and the Shadow Temple, claiming that his compromise was only a deterrent to pressure.
“I wrote in my report that the floating city came from the Gitil farm, and claimed that I would speak with the eyes planted in the Lords’ House – that is, you – at a suitable time, and that this was the occasion.”
Heine nodded and continued to ask:
“What does the House of Veritas think of this incident?”
