Art said to himself that the mercenary Mary gave him a strange feeling, but it seemed that he could get along with him. Maybe he could ask her to buy and collect some blue blood gems in the future?

However, let’s put this woman aside for now.

That guy with a chuunibyou-like appearance must be the Hell Opera.

"Twenty people", "Glory Continent", in the memory given by the Eye of the Future, in the prophetic poem, there are a total of twenty people... and the Glory Continent is the main stage of the sad epic.

Judging from the other party's attitude and the name "Eye of Evil Night", it is basically certain.

He first discovered this because... Sheridan.

This is a name that he almost forgot.

That day at the lake, he heard this name.

The name of the archer who had only a vague impression in his mind during the Melancholy Forest incident was mentioned by the old man on the shore of Lake Susa. Originally, he thought he only heard the name of the same name. After all,

There are too many duplicate names.

He had heard the name Sheridan three times, and he had found more than five namesakes of his own.

Although he had some suspicions, he didn't pay too much attention to it and was just a regular vigilant.

However, while sorting out the book pages and information before, something that he accidentally remembered but did not discard appeared in front of his eyes:

[Incomplete Devil Summoning Diagram lv4: It seems to be a summoning diagram to summon a certain devil, which requires the sacrifice of all the blood and half of the body of an entire creature. - It is incomplete, and it lacks the most important summoning spell and cannot be used.

use.】

In the Forest of Melancholy, he conducted reconnaissance through Glora and saw and recorded the summoning ritual diagram.

Because the copy was incomplete, this thing was only regarded as something of little importance by him.

But...I didn't expect to find the devil priest.

In Susa Lake, Promi also discovered something strange——

A big hole.

In the center of Susa Lake, there is a huge cavity. Something seemed to have been stored in it, and then...

[Despair Scales lv4: The scales of the Lakeside Elf, with an aura of sadness and despair. - "It hurts... it hurts... it hurts..."]

A piece of light blue scales mixed in the cracks of the ice-frozen soil.

Lakeside elves, this kind of creature with a human-like upper body, fish body, and mermaid, basically extinct elemental spirits, unexpectedly appear in Susa Lake.

And...desperate.

There are many doubts about this small town of Susa.

It was precisely because of this that Art chose to investigate in detail.

Originally, his targets were only the Susa family cemetery and the merchants of Susa town.

But I didn't expect to actually find the devil priest.

After a series of detailed investigations, the context gradually became clear.

There are many devil priests who are performing secret sacrifices in this small town of Susa.

For this reason, he also asked the shadow servants to wear masks and robes to go to the tavern to collect information. There were not a large number of missing people here, but there was a saying that "mercenaries don't like staying here very much."

, saying that there are too few tasks nearby, and the mercenaries will leave after a short stay.

And it happens regularly, not suddenly. Under normal circumstances, no one would suspect it.

The same goes for Art. If it were somewhere else, he would only have some doubts, but because of the devil, he had to think of sacrifices and sacrifices.

However, many doubts and incidents suddenly broke out before he could fully understand the various clues and situations.

He is not much smarter than ordinary people. It can even be said that his IQ is at the level of ordinary people.

However, his lack of sense of security makes him suspicious, and he is therefore able to discover various clues. Ordinary people do not have his... almost pathological state of lack of sense of security, and some things will not be regarded as serious by them.

If there are clues or doubts, we won’t bother to investigate so many clues.

As long as these clues are sorted out, ordinary people can also make connections.

However, others are not as suspicious as him, and this kind of suspicion is not a good thing... After all, when others say a simple word, he will think of several situations, and then generate some completely useless suspicions.

In this incident, there is only one useful clue so far, and there are more than 50 useless clues.

"Huh..." shook his head and suppressed the chaotic thoughts.

After killing the Horned Demon, the Crow Mage has risen to level 7.

Art focused his skills on several core skills of Crow Mage.

【Crow Mage lv6】→【lv7】

Strength decay reduced from 0% to 15%.

When the level of the crow mage reaches lv10 or above, there will be a situation where the power of spells cast through the crow is higher than that cast by oneself.

In the game at that time, he even laughed at himself for being inferior to the Crow series.

Shaking his head, Art selected the next skill.

【Capture crow lv6】→【lv7】

Crow limit increased from 75 to 100.

[Crow Shield lv1]→[lv]

The passive damage sharing is increased from 1% to %, and the actively increased shield value is increased from 1% to %.

Blood crows are a good target for sharing, and he also specially selected a few blood crows for physical strengthening training.

As the objects of damage sharing, they only share the damage. The reduction in physical fitness cannot share the pain. The pain is still borne by him. If he can share the pain, it will be perfect.

He can endure pain, but severe pain will also affect his actions. If the pain can be shared, sometimes it can bring more guarantees to the battle.

Remaining skill points 1.

I got a few skill points, but other than that, I only got a few skill points from Susha's Cemetery.

That pile should contain all the bones of the Susha family, but the blue bloodworms only stripped off a few skill points in total.

The efficiency is not very high.

Skills need to be improved.

However, the improvement of professional skills is different from the improvement of skills of a single profession. When the skills of a single profession are only single profession, the total professional level is lv5. Every time the professional skill is improved by 1 level, the skill can be improved by 1 level. Correspondingly, the non-professional skill can be improved by 1 level.

Skills can only be upgraded by 1 level at each level, and can only be upgraded to lv1 at most. Calculated based on the total level of dual professions of 50, that is a maximum of lv5.

Logically speaking, it is optimal to learn more non-professional skills as early as possible. The level will increase quickly, but if you fail to learn skills, it seems like you are losing money.

but......

These skills will actually be reset when the core breaks through... No matter how early they are learned, every time the core breaks through, the level of all skills will be reset to lv1, and the upper limit will be reset based on the level after the core breakthrough.

calculate.

Therefore, the more skill points you spend on non-professional skills... instead of making no profit, you will actually lose money.

Therefore, you can learn non-professional skills at any time, but it is best to only learn level 1 and not spend skill points to upgrade.

However, in order to improve combat effectiveness, some skills are necessary to learn, such as the two inherited skills. As a trump card, even if you know that the core will be reset after a breakthrough, you still need to improve it, but it is best to put the main skill points in the profession.

In terms of skills.

With a sigh, Art left the cemetery.

but......

Suddenly something happened to him.

That is, the body of Baron Susa... If you are lucky, you can get a blue blood gem fragment. If you are unlucky, you won't even be able to collect one-third of the skill points.

...

"???"

However, when Art turned back to look for the body of Baron Susa...he found...

The body of Baron Susa is missing!?

I asked other people through the Shadow Servant, but found that other people did not know where the body of Baron Susa was.

But at this time, Promi suddenly said:

"Master, there is an aura of necromancy."

A spiritual crow emerged from the illusion pocket watch on Art's chest.

"There is a breath of negative energy here. Although it is very weak, it must be the breath of necromancy."

As a spirit body, it is very familiar with negative energy...

"Necromancy!?" Art's face was solemn.

"Yes, it must be necromancy." Promi scratched his chin with his wings, "It's still a very powerful spell, but..."
To be continued...
