Chapter 57 [The Polymath]! (5000 Word Chapter)
After upgrading the professional level of Shadow Warrior, Sauron still has more than 60,000 points of killing experience.
He put all the killing experience into the wizard professional level in one breath, and planned to get one more attribute point, which was already the last attribute point he could get in advance. Starting from professional level 9, the killing experience required to improve the strength of a wizard begins to increase exponentially. After the professional level reaches 15, the killing experience required by a wizard to upgrade the professional level is completely higher than that of any professional. In the future, unless Sauron can successfully slaughter the gods, the speed of accumulating killing experience will not be enough.
"The wizard profession has been raised to level 8."
"Acquire 25 (intelligence value 20 + (intelligence 20-10) * 0.5) skill points, and the life value increases by 10 points (professional life 4 points + (physical constitution 21-10) * 0.5)."
"Get a free attribute point."
………………
"The wizard profession has been raised to level 9."
"Acquire 25 (intelligence value 20 + (intelligence 20-10) * 0.5) skill points, and the life value increases by 10 points (professional life 4 points + (physical constitution 21-10) * 0.5)."
"Gain a feat point."
………………
One attribute point for the second level, one specialty point for the third level.
Sauron undoubtedly added free attribute points to agility, pushing his agility value to 24 points, and then put one of the acquired specialties on the advanced level [Enhanced Two-Weapon Combat]. Although Sauron really wanted to use this specialty point to master the wizard's supermagic specialty, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he should devote it to the combat specialty. Wizards are powerful in combat, but they are extremely time-consuming, money-intensive and energy-intensive professions. Sauron doesn't have enough time to learn spells, conduct research, and hone spellcasting skills, so his priority in fighting is still his own. Familiar rogue territory.
The wizard's spells are only to assist his combat ability!
"Advanced Two-Weapon Fighting [Personal Specialty]: With more and more combat experience, you are becoming more and more proficient in two-weapon fighting. You are already a master of using two-weapon fighting, even if you are stronger than you in the dark area There are not many people. You can rank first among a thousand people who use two-weapon fighting. You have mastered and comprehended the advanced skills of using two-weapon fighting. There will be any penalty for mistakes. [The number of attacks per round +3, no hit penalty. Dexterity 18 points.]”
Finally got [Advanced Two-Weapon Combat].
Sauron looked around, and then walked to the edge of the hull. He took two scimitars in his hands, and lifted a wooden board.
clang!
A cold light flashed.
Sauron held a scimitar in each hand and unsheathed it at the same time. The wooden board was shrouded in mid-air by a blade of light. When Sauron completed a round of attack and retracted the knife into the sheath, the wooden board had turned into twelve broken pieces of wood. . It fell to the ground with a clatter. He just chopped out a total of 8 knives, including 5 knives with his right hand and only 3 knives with his left hand. Because he didn't master the combat expertise of [Legendary Dual Weapons], Sauron couldn't perfectly replicate the speed of his hands, so the current limit was just like this.
The current accumulation of expertise is not enough. At his peak, Sauron could make 18 cuts in one round. [Remarks: One round refers to the speed at which the knife is fired in one second, and this speed may not be maintained in actual combat. If you are interested, you can try it with a small knife. Ordinary people can achieve two to three knives in a second, but it is very difficult to go up. 】
………………
After allocating free attribute points and specialty points.
Sauron put his attention on skill points. He has been holding back for so long, and today he finally met the conditions for mastering the background specialty [Potatic Scholar].
God open your eyes!
After suffering for so long, it finally came to an end. In order to meet the conditions for mastering a polymath, he didn't even put much skill points into his own rogue's own skills, and relied entirely on his own battle accumulation to improve bit by bit, and the rate of improvement was really quite slow. Sauron's current rogue's class skills are not even 50 points. If it wasn't for mastering the background specialty of [Erudite], he might have already raised all his skills to more than 100 points.
With the allocation of skill points, Sauron's knowledge finally reached 250 points.
A row of data also emerged:
"Triggered by special conditions!..."
"The prerequisite specialty [Bo Wen Qiang Ji] has been achieved! ... The prerequisite knowledge has reached 250 points! ..."
"You automatically get a new background specialty [Potato]!..."
………………
As soon as the data prompt appeared, Sauron couldn't wait to look at his new background specialty.
"Erudite [Background Specialty]: Your knowledge has become more and more amazing, and you understand almost any field. With the accumulation of more knowledge, you will be able to comprehend most things by analogy. What you learn The speed is several times that of others. This is not limited to knowledge, but also a variety of combat skills, you know how to calculate the weight axis of weapons, know how to calculate the time gap of casting spells, and use this to maximize Its power. But this is not the only thing you know, the accumulation of knowledge has reached your current level, and it can be directly transformed into real power! 【Knowledge +10】”
(Preconditions: Possess the [Bo Wen Ke Ji] specialty, 250 points of knowledge.)
(The special specialty [Master of Lore] is a prerequisite.)
(The special specialty [Star Traveler] is a prerequisite.)
(The special specialty [Plane Explorer] is a prerequisite.)
………………
"This is!?……"
Because there was no part-time spellcasting profession in the past, Sauron's previous knowledge was not very high, and he did not have the talent and expertise of [Bo Wen Qiang Ji].
So Sauron couldn't help being surprised when he saw the trigger-type pre-specialty prompt in the back row. Among them, [Master of Erudition] needless to say, this belongs to the advanced specialty of [Education Scholar]. But the last two hints seem to be a bit of a big deal, just by looking at the name, it can be very awesome, especially the [Astral Traveler], which is a well-known background specialty. Many legendary wizards who are so powerful even have the background specialty of [Star Traveler], which is a background specialty of the legendary level.
As for the other [Plane Explorer]. Sauron didn't understand anything.
After allocating knowledge and skills, Sauron actually still had 12 skill points left, so he simply added them to stealth in one go. Anyway, the stealth skills of rogues are definitely not too high.
at this time.
Sauron's overall attributes are quite different from the past, and he has finally entered the class of powerful people.

Combat power consists of three major parts.
The first is the attribute point, and the attribute is the most intuitive combat power. People with high strength are more destructive, people with high agility are flexible, and people with high physique are very resistant to fighting and so on.
The second is the basic skills, which is the comprehensive ability in various situations, and also determines the most obvious shortcoming of your body. In many cases, the basic skills should not be too low. If the parry and block are not enough, you will not be able to fight a tough battle. If the dodge ability is too poor, you will be finished when you encounter random arrows. If you can't detect, listen, and survive in the wild, you are a tragic figure. Kobolds may successfully attack you. As for the poor search ability, you won't even find the loot in the end. Then other performances, deceit, and intimidation are very useful basic skills, and you also have a great demand for negotiation, valuation, and medical treatment during your adventure.
Therefore, the seemingly inconspicuous basic skills are often things that can determine your destiny!
Last but not least is expertise!
This is very time-consuming and difficult to train and master, but it is also the most powerful part.
In theory.
Most of the people who can leapfrog and kill other high-level professionals basically have obvious advantages in specialties. The combination of these three parts of strength is your overall combat power. In the process of fighting against the enemy, as long as one of them can form an advantage, your chances of winning will be greatly improved.
Sauron likes to estimate his winning rate every time he takes action!
Most of the time, the chances of winning in his mind are calculated based on these three conditions. If there is no obvious chance of winning, he will give up the fight in the end.
………………
Time passed bit by bit.
Sailing at sea is actually a waste of time and mostly boring.
Sauron consumed almost all his killing experience in one breath, and then began to train his fighting ability. Gaining killing experience is only part of improving one's strength, honing combat skills and mastering specialties is also very important. Adele-Isabella is still Sauron's partner, but this time Sauron increased the difficulty, and he directly covered his eyes with a black cloth. [Blind Combat] Specialty is a very important speciality, and it is used a lot, so Sauron must master it in advance.
Dang bang block!
The two soon began to play tentatively.
Sauron was blindfolded. Most of the time he was on the defensive, and he was obviously at a disadvantage in the process of facing Adele Isabella, but he was not in a losing posture. On the contrary, as the number of battles increased, he gradually became able to The look of being invincible. I don't know if it's his illusion, after he mastered the specialty of [Potatic Scholar]. It seems that the whole person's mind has become clear. He was actually able to summarize Adele-Isabella's attack methods, habitual attack skills, subconscious attack directions, etc. during the battle.
He can even summarize and memorize the skills of "listening to the wind and distinguishing positions", including what sounds represent what actions.
This is not intellectual improvement!
In Sauron's view, it should be that his calculation and summarization ability has been further strengthened, as if the accumulation of knowledge has reached a certain critical point, and he suddenly began to draw inferences by analogy.
In his mind, he can speculate on the attack direction of Adele's next attack move!
That feeling is a bit like [Intuitive Dodge].
Dang bang block!
A series of battle sounds sounded. Sauron gradually became more comfortable, and sometimes he could counterattack the red-haired female pirate based on blind combat skills.
Adele in front of her eyes obviously felt that the battle was getting more and more difficult. She gasped for breath, raised her hand to brush her long fiery red hair, and looked at Sauron with awe and disbelief. That expression was like looking at a monster. It's not that she has never seen a guy with amazing talent and strong learning ability, but she has never heard of a guy whose learning and mastering ability can reach Sauron's level. At the beginning, she spent nearly a year or two training in order to master the skills of [Blind Battle].
But how long has Sauron been using it now?
less than three days.
Go on like this. In at most half a month, his blind combat skills will be able to enter the room. (Get three information prompts.)
An afternoon of training passed quickly.
Sauron after today's training. Got the prompt message of the second common specialty:
"Battle experience!"
"With each battle at sea, your combat ability in the sea environment improves, and your balance ability against the bumps of the hull increases."
"You have obtained part of the information about [Battle at Sea]."
………………
It may be because the accumulation is not enough.
Sauron has only received one [Maritime Combat] information prompt, and other specialties need further accumulation and training.
Two days passed quickly.
As the fleet gradually sailed towards the overseas islands. The creatures encountered on the route gradually increased. They saw shoals of swordfish, probably more than 100,000 in number, as well as a patch of flying scale fish that shimmered in the sea, as well as various schools of huge fish. Because there are many dangerous marine life in the deep sea area, fishermen seldom enter the interior of the sea when fishing, and the fish here move in tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of numbers.
Yesterday afternoon, Sauron saw that the surface of the sea turned red!
He thought he had encountered some kind of monster, but he was not startled for a moment, and then he found out that there were too many lobsters. The size of this kind of lobster was only about three fingers. This size is relatively common in the current sea area. The specific lobster It's hard to say how many red-shelled lobsters there were. Anyway, some sailors dropped the nets and scooped up hundreds of red-shelled lobsters. The taste seems to be nothing special, not much different from the lobsters eaten in the previous life.
However, their pincers are stronger and stronger than the lobsters in the previous life.
If you encounter a larger lobster, you can directly pinch off your fingers. One unlucky sailor was almost pinched off by a big lobster.
at dusk.
Sauron sat on the deck boredly cutting up a large lobster with a dagger. Most of these lobsters were as thick as two fingers, and some of them were so big that they could reach the size of a human palm. The pirates below caught more than a dozen large lobsters, and quickly sent someone over to curry favor with Sauron. Then Sauron turned his head and cooked the grilled lobster, which was currently feeding Vivienne who was dripping with oil.
The little girl ate very happily today.
Because my brother made it himself, and because my brother made it so delicious!
Sauron is rich.
Naturally, those expensive seasonings can also be used. The key to cooking food is nothing more than three points, ingredients, seasonings, and cooking skills.
Sauron now has good ingredients, expensive seasonings, and good craftsmanship.
Naturally made will not be unpalatable!
The little girl ate two big lobsters in a row, and then touched her round belly with satisfaction. But at this time, the watchman on a nearby ship let out a suppressed exclamation, and shouted: "Sea monsters!... There are sea monsters!..."
There was a commotion.
Then I saw a huge shadow appearing in the distance. The shadow was hiding under the seabed, vaguely resembling a giant squid, and it seemed to be more than 50 meters long.
This is really a sea monster!
There was a burst of exclamation from all around, and then many people looked nervously at Sauron's position.
"Calm down!"
Sauron stood on the bow of the boat and said in a deep voice, "Let's go like this, no one should make any changes."
The distance is getting closer little by little.
That sea monster is really a big squid, about 60 meters in length, and its huge body is a bit scary. It obviously found the fleet in front of it, and it turned half a circle around Sauron, then it seemed to sense something, avoided the fleet in front of it, and swam past them about a hundred meters away.
There were no accidents, so there was no fighting.
The two sides passed by like this!
Sauron has been watching the departure of the sea monster, but secretly said in his heart: "It seems that the blessing of the sea goddess is very effective!"
This is a sea monster they encountered.
In the next two days, they encountered two other sea monsters, but the target did not attack them. On the fifth day of the overseas voyage, they were finally approaching their destination, and scattered islands began to appear in Sauron's sight.
The Outer Islands are almost here!

(Fifth day of quitting smoking. Maybe a little bit of smoking cessation syndrome, I always feel uncomfortable, and it should pass after two more days. I forgot who said that it will be much better after seven days. 5000 words chapter.) (to be continued~^ ~)
