What did you do with the dice?

Rusalka, Rusalka, you and your brother have been together for so many years, and you know each other inside and out and have a close relationship. From the perspective of bond, you are better brothers than Phoenix!

Ugh, ugh, ugh, this is a bit disgusting. It seems that Phoenix, who I have close contact with every day, is not a good reference object. If it were on Earth, there wouldn’t be so many problems because I don’t have a woman.

It turns out that it was a woman who made me feel physically uncomfortable with my brother. My God, this white cat is really dangerous!

Ahem, calm down, Rusalka. Overthinking here will only prolong your neighbor's jail time and anger. Think carefully about what Sanita would choose. If your good brother were right next to you, what would he say?

Rusalka immediately struck a pose like a Sani Iron Tower, holding her chin and frowning in thought for a moment. She used her movements to bring out her character. Then, she said to the "air Rusalka" beside her, "I'll analyze it for you. It won't happen in the beginning, the middle, or the end. However, even though I've said so much, we've been friends for so many years. I know you'll definitely choose 4. You can't stop a gambler. Well, it's your reward after all, so just be happy."

Rusalka turned around again and acted like himself to the "Air Sani Tower": "Hehe, you are worthy of being a good brother. Trust me, choose 4 for invincibility."

Okay, after a seemingly impeccable simulation, since "brother" said so, he can only choose 4.

[You have obtained the ability "Life Contract"]

[Life Contract]: You can bind an inanimate object that is no larger than yourself. While you are alive, the object will not change. If the object is destroyed after your death, it will be restored after you are resurrected.

Rushaka knelt on her knees in the dark space and slammed her hammer into the void beneath her feet. "Damn it! I'm still a step too late. Ugh, my Bengbu Shield! You died miserably!!!"

Fortunately, this time the fight was not in vain. The continuous upgrades dispelled the depression that Rusalka always felt in her heart because of the "belated enhancement".

[Experience has been met, please select the upgrade reward. ]

Chapter 251 Big Upgrade Time (2)

This time, the upgrade experience given is relatively large, perhaps because of the experience accumulated from the previous fight against the Demon Lord. In short, Rusalka directly skipped to level 14.

Rusalka is not sure how his brothers will choose, but Rusalka feels that the strength and cost-effectiveness of the Paladin and the Warlock are similar at this point.

So he wanted to choose a new secondary profession: "System waiter, I'll drain two large experience bars, warm up a bowl of expansion books for me, and play a secondary profession."

[You have the negative trait [Stupid] and are unable to learn and comprehend new systems. You cannot have more sub-classes.]

What?! This is against the rules! Damn it! If this wasn't in another world, I would go to the Disabled Protection Association and sue you for discriminating against us mentally retarded friends with this broken system!

Even if he was self-aware and tried to laugh at himself, this cold system would not be amused. It still ruthlessly rejected Rusalka's behavior of frantically clicking OK after entering his secondary occupation, and continuously popped up a series of blockbuster prompts.

Rushaka wanted to use continuous clicking to see if the system panel would malfunction, and tried to exploit a bug to sneak into the selection interface, but he gave up after clicking for a few minutes. Now he couldn't fulfill the bad idea of ​​being a part-time storm priest in his head: to give the opponent a "Lightning Tornado Slash" forged by the full amount of Thunder Holy Thunderbolt Slash, so that the opponent would taste the feeling of 200 damage in one blow.

Okay, okay, then I won’t do part-time work. I’ll choose to upgrade to a warlock. A level 7 warlock has 4 rings, and level 8 will have one more specialty option!

[Unable to upgrade. The secondary occupation level cannot be higher than the main occupation.]

Shit! This isn't possible?

Rusalka felt like she was being targeted. Was it an illusion?

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. If you reverse it and his main occupation is a sorcerer, then from the background of his character to the reality, he has changed from a "holy warrior who can use evil power" to a "sorcerer who can use holy light."

Interpersonal relationships will change from "getting along well" with the Esdi Knights now to "getting along well" with the Esdi Knights. You have already obtained the hidden benefits of the background, so there is no way but to accept it.

What about the allocation options for level 7 Paladin and level 7 Warlock? That's not a good choice either. As we all know, every 4 levels a class in D&D gets a "bonus of attribute points" or "bonus of expertise." This card at level 7 is really frustrating for every player, who can't wait to find a monster to level up after leveling up.

Even the free points plus the experience bar are far from enough. From now on, the experience points required for each level up are as terrifying as a black hole. Previously, when I was at level 5, 5 free points could get half an experience bar. Now, if I put in 5 free points, the experience bar is like a mercury thermometer put in my mouth. It feels like there is not much change in the bar.

Why can't you give me a level 15 upgrade? That way I can have level 8 Holy Martial Arts + level 7 Witchcraft, the noble Four-Ring Holy Slash!

This is probably because Phoenix "stole" a dragon. Phoenix's crime is extremely heinous! She fits the image of a backstabbing cat. I suggest a strict investigation of the cat's content! Forcing me, a resource-obsessive, to take a long rest every day has greatly reduced my study time, causing my knowledge to lag behind my friends. Is she sent by the DM to deliberately slow down my leveling progress?

Well, in the end, considering that his do-nothing Final Master would not give him the corresponding 4th-ring magic, Rusalka had to tearfully give up the 4th ring and choose the 8th-level Paladin. He had to admit that although he did skip a level, judging from the data panel, there was no big improvement, especially when dealing with monsters like dragons that could take away dozens of points of blood with a slap. The later he played, the more limited the increase in blood volume would be.

The poor rely on their abilities, while the rich rely on their cognition.

Low-level skills rely on numerical values, high-level skills rely on mechanisms.

It’s the same in any world. As the level goes up, the cost-effectiveness of the benefits of the lower set will not be high.

After 8+6, Rusalka's health value reached 224 points. If this amount of health is placed in any level 14 group in any DND board game, no one would believe that she is not the boss. However, the most important thing is the newly acquired 50 points, a specialty/attribute point improvement, and the talent of the Vengeance Paladin at level 7 [Tenacious Vengeance].

If these three resources are integrated, something good should be produced. Rushaka doesn't expect to have the strength of [Hamlet's Shield]. Since the last time she flew, Rushaka suddenly felt that her flying ability seemed to be pretty good. If she could fuse a higher-level replacement for [Permanent Flight] bought for 50 points, [Permanent Flight +], it would be quite suitable.

As Rusalka pondered this, the system panel intelligently read his thoughts and popped up a prompt:

[Are you sure you want to use 50 points to redeem "Standard Flight"? ]

Wait a minute! Rusalka hastily chose no. Thinking carefully, he realized that the way he was beaten during the previous fight with Garcestata wasn't because he couldn't fly.

It would be better to say that even if he couldn't fly, he could still cooperate with his brothers to kill the Thunder Dragon. This man's heroism has its limits after all. Facts have proved that after the magic and biological levels of this world have gone up, pure numerical monsters seem a bit cumbersome. In the end, he was defeated by stealing Garces's construction. The purity has been greatly reduced, which is not in line with Rusalka's original intention-I brought [Anti-Pearl Warrior], but it doesn't mean that I have to bet on [Anti-Pearl Warrior] to copy the opponent every time. Wouldn't that make my own construction useless?

Rusalka yelled, "System, this Black Knight [Tenacious Revenge] is completely useless. I don't have any reaction! Oh, I think I have it now, but I don't care, rnm, give me back my money! Give me three in one! A new specialty!"

The system seemed to be more understanding lately, and it even responded to his unreasonable request: [You can integrate new expertise, but this expertise is unique and cannot be copied.]

Rusalka was already accustomed to this process. "Alright, then I'll throw away 50 points, my paladin traits, and my feat slots. Let's do one of my favorite multiple-choice questions."

1. [Legion Leader]: When accompanying an army into battle, all non-damage roll stats are increased by [number of legions] points. The minimum legion unit is 2000 people. [Intact] means the legion's personnel reduction does not exceed 30%. The maximum bonus points gained through this feat are 10.

Rusalka: Leading 20,000 troops gets a 10-point full boost? Damn you, dice god! I suggest changing the name to "Fish Leader." Go ask around, who's in charge in this Yu-Gi-Oh! environment? (In unison) Of course, it's Pearly Tear Elegy!

2. [Parry Master]: In a battle, choose a damage type. If you successfully block an attack that causes that damage type, you will trigger all passives triggered by [When Attacked]. You will also permanently block all attacks of the same damage type that cause that damage type, and trigger the passive as well (Fireball and Scorching Ray are judged as different types of fire damage attacks, but three Scorching Rays are judged as the same type of fire damage attack).

[Note: Ridiculous! I activate Parry Master!]

3. [Holy Wings Flight]: You can cast [Holy Wings Flight] with a spell slot of at least 2nd level, summoning a pair of wings made of holy light. The wings last for up to 10 turns, have a DC (defense) of 15 and HP of 30, are immune to holy light damage, and are resistant to physical damage. When you have wings, your movement speed will become [flight speed twice your movement speed], and your wings come with three special actions.

(1) Holy Wings: Wrap your body with wings and gain full resistance. During this time, you cannot attack.

(2) Holy Wing Strike: Swing your wings to make a contact attack, dealing 2d8 points of holy light damage to any enemy it touches.

（3）圣翼风暴：主动/被动解散翅膀时，将化作一阵金色的圣光箭雨进行一片半径15尺的范围打击，共计发射【环位等级x剩余血量/2】根羽毛（向上取整），每根有效命中的羽毛会对目标造成1d6+1点圣光伤害。

[Note: This is the one you're looking for! You get what you pay for.]

Wow! This is so cool and powerful! It's exactly the build I had in mind! In any MMO (open multiplayer online world), no matter how flashy this costume is, it just doesn't feel right without the glowing wings on the back.

4. [Divine Guardian]: Select a unit within 66 meters of you to establish a connection, completely transferring all damage received by the other party to you. This damage type is considered [True Damage] and cannot be reduced/offset/absorbed by shields, but can be ignored by absolute effects such as [Invincibility]. When activating this skill, you gain [All Types of Damage Resistance], which lasts for up to 1 hour and can be used once per short rest.

Well, although he felt that this thing was almost like a wing pad after it came out, but since there was no note for this part, and Rusalka had already figured out its function as soon as it came out, he simply gave it a note himself: Sabao can fly without worry, Fish Dad will always be with you.

Just as Rusalka was making her four choices, suddenly a line of red words strangely appeared at the bottom of the panel, word by word, in a form of "ink soaking through the paper and gradually spreading into words".

If Rusalka hadn't had a passive activated that filled him with courage and made him unafraid of such evil spirits, he would now be surrounded by absolute darkness, with only the system panel as the light source. Suddenly, red words appeared on the white light, a scene like something out of a horror movie, which would surely scare people so much that they wouldn't dare to go to the toilet, or even go to the toilet right there.

5. [Last Struggle]: When you no longer have any creatures you care about in this plane, you can pray to the [King of the End] to grant you unparalleled power, becoming his incarnation, the true [Messenger of the End]. After completing the [Mission] he gives you, you can resurrect 1 object and return to [your true homeland].

[Hehe, since I'm late, I can offer you a compromise option when you're at your wit's end. How about that?]

Rusalka didn't hesitate for a second about this option, and immediately yelled, "Get lost, if you don't have a cat to take back, you might as well kill me!"

Perhaps Alastor hadn't expected Rusalka to be so resolute in her choice, so the fourth option slowly changed as Rusalka spoke. The text twisted into a ball of flame again, then separated into new symbols, which were arranged into a sentence: "Interesting! I'm looking forward to your performance. It's a pity that you've come too late. Time is running out. Hahahaha!"

Ten seconds later, the red text disappeared from the white panel of the system like faded ink.

Of course, Rusalka hadn't really thought about it that much. If Sanita had come, he would definitely have asked him why he didn't consider resurrecting Phoenix and bringing her back. Rusalka would have hesitated then—because you really can't buy cats of other colors on Earth, and buying one wouldn't change it, and neither would his brothers.

Then he will say, "Oh, it would be great if my brother could become a cat girl."

Let's focus on the first four options. In fact, this system has already clearly given Rusalka options. [Holy Wing Flight] can fly, fight, and looks very cool. Except for the disadvantage of requiring a ring position, everything seems to meet Rusalka's current needs.

However, after thinking carefully for a while, Rusalka finally chose [Parry Master].

As a master of rules, he saw the trap of the invincible wings at a glance - spreading the wings means having the wings' (3) skill [Active Effect], which is equivalent to being incompatible with [Awakening Aura]. I want to fly so that I can severely inflict the Holy Slash on the enemies in the air, not just to fly for the sake of flying. How can this be putting the cart before the horse?

Besides, how could Rusalka not trust his brother? He believed that his brother's invincible wisdom would help him deal with those enemies that he had difficulty dealing with after this upgrade. Rusalka was like this, just A was enough, and he let Sanita think about the battlefield environment and the restrictions imposed on the opponent in advance.

"Trying to trick me? Ridiculous! I'm using the Parry Master!"

After Rusalka finished her selection, the system panel disappeared.

However, he did not exit the dark space, but was trapped by Sanita. Because Sanita had said before that he wanted to study hard to find out what skills he should learn, so the research might take some time. Rusalka, who often took long rests alone, was used to being imprisoned, so he just floated in the dark space, closed his eyes and waited.

When she thought about how he had to calculate ten points carefully to level up two levels next door, while she was extravagantly opening a three-in-one blind box, and even saw the progress point option but was forced to accept the blind box she opened for him, Rusalka felt a little sympathetic - she was afraid that her brother would suffer.

But then I thought, he has two elves, driving a Land Rover in front of his brothers, ugh! Depravity! He deserves to be unable to fight happily because of his romantic luck!

Just as Rusalka was daydreaming, his consciousness suddenly switched places. When he came to his senses, he found himself in the meeting of the God of Truth.

Oh, it seems that it is indeed time for the regular meeting. Recently, this regular meeting is like my period. Rusalka is just like a tool to trade props for Sanita. No one has much intelligence. It is difficult to get any new work done once a month. We just treat it as a trade fair and Theresa viewing meeting.

By the way, this time Theresa is dressed as a nymphomaniac mage, still barefoot, with a black open-front robe on the outside. Once you open it, you can see the black three-point bikini inside - see Azur Lane, Mogador for details.

If I were to be wrapped up in this, I would feel like my rationality would melt away.

[Immunity Success]

But the system will never falter!

Rusalka: Swish~ Awesome, love watching!

Chapter 252 It’s me, yes, because I’m level 14 down

But today, the parliament, which has always had no topics to talk about, finally took the lead and found a new world-class hot topic.

It couldn't hide the gloating in its tone, or perhaps it didn't even bother to hide it. It roared with laughter as it announced in a voice that echoed throughout the conference room, "Everyone, great news! The Red Dragon Baron Garces died in Snidi! He even left the artifact bestowed by the Goddess of Wealth there. The Dragon Mother was furious. Her roars cursing at that bastard Garces could be heard all over Dragon Island."

He probably had some grudge against Garces, but he was incredibly happy. "Ah, thinking about that bastard dying before me, I feel a lot better all over. Life on Dragon Island doesn't seem so boring anymore. If everyone is free, let's adjourn early. I'm going to the nearby sea to tell the sea creatures about this good news. They'll definitely treat me to a few months of banquets to celebrate."

Rusalka, finally transitioning from a background figure to a principal participant, felt a surge of delight, then was stunned by the speed with which the parliament was gathering intelligence. "Huh? I just killed someone a few hours ago, and they knew so quickly?"

Are these people satellite experts? Or are they red-sky reporters?

Everyone present was in an uproar, especially Aquarius, who couldn't wait to ask, "Red Dragon Baron Garces is the most devout believer of the Goddess of Wealth, so he must be a true dragon, right? With his strength, it's almost impossible to defeat him unless I come to the bottom of the sea and prepare in advance.

Not to mention he's accompanied by two subspecies Thunder Dragon mates. While he's certainly flamboyant and arrogant, the experts from Sneedi are all in the capital, held back by that agent. The Guardian Knights are also attacking Alice City, so they can't be distracted to hunt dragons. Who else could possibly kill him?"

She turned around and Aries shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Sagittarius also shook his head.

Everyone shook their heads except Theresa, a Virgo.

His eyes moved around and when he reached the last Gemini Rusalka, he showed everyone that "the essence of human beings is a repeater", and everyone shook their heads.

His feigned ignorance amused Teresa, one of the people involved. She lifted her clothes and stretched out her fair arms, revealing a beautiful sight before her. She covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, "Gemini, you're too modest. It's hard to hide something like this from everyone, right? We're all believers under the True God, we're all on the same boat. Our dealings are top secret, so it's okay for us to reveal some real information to each other."

She said softly, "Not to mention, you're so powerful. I really like knights like you who are both powerful and low-key."

A group of Black Mist Constellations laughed out loud: "How youthful!"

Aquarius also propped up his head with his hands and looked at Rusalka. Although his expression was unclear, he could hear the teasing and laughter in his tone: "That's great! If I were younger, I would definitely confess to Gemini."

Ah~ This little wife praised me in public and created a pretentious atmosphere for me in front of others. It really gave me face. It was so cool. Otherwise, why do you say that marrying a wife should not only be virtuous, but also be able to show off? It feels like her face is as bright as a layer of holy light.

If it weren't for the black fog blocking her way, and if she still had some humanity and concern for her brothers' mental state in her heart, Rusalka would have stood up and cast the [Crusader's Cloak] spell on herself, then jumped directly onto the conference table to express her gratitude for slaying the dragon to this group of evil people, and shook hands with each of them one by one, welcoming them to visit the Pearl Tear Territory and give them experience.

He didn't want to reveal his strength, but he was eager to reach level 15, and he was desperate to find experience packs! You know, almost everyone on this table was using the Holy Slash bonus. Besides his wife, who might not be able to defeat her, Rusalka wanted to try them all out.

Sanita seemed to have finished leveling up, and started chatting with Rusalka in the private chat channel: (What the hell, she called you a little knight last time, and now she's forgotten all about it after a few compliments? She's cracking your box! Although we're both level 14 now, especially you, who's hard to kill unless you're alone, being cracked won't be a problem as long as you don't go to their fan meeting in person. Anyway, after the battle of Alice City is over, if we win, the whole world will know about you, so it doesn't matter if we do it a little earlier.)

Rusalka was indeed a little confused when his brother reminded him of Theresa's age, but why did this brother, who wore the same pants, make such a sarcastic remark: (What about you, brother? It's easy to say, why aren't you afraid of the box of weapons?)

Sanita: (Haha, I have [Ace Agent]~. So far, I've only been a powerful archmage following the Lord of Pearl Tears. But how powerful am I, exactly? I don't know. Every time I fight, I always feel like I don't exist. It doesn't sound that powerful after all!)

Brother, this Sixth Brother is really in trouble. Rusalka has decided that once he becomes invincible, he will travel around the world with a loud speaker every day to broadcast the glorious deeds of the great wizard Sanita. Yes, he will let that "Saslin" ice wizard do it, and see if brother still feels proud.

----

Speaking of "Saslin", at this moment the ice mage was eating with other mages at the table.

He was also a meritorious wizard, so instead of being treated as a prisoner of war, he was allowed to integrate into the collective as a defector.

"Are you new here? Are you also planning to join the Mage Tower of Archmage Sanita?"

The mages all ate at a separate table. Although they were arrogant and not willing to be with ordinary soldiers, the atmosphere was quite harmonious when they got together and they would chat with each other.

The middle-aged mage in blue robes waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, it's too early to say I'm joining. I can only be considered a half-disciple of the master."

Although the way he said it seemed humble, he was actually very proud inside. Just hearing this made those around him jealous. Let alone being half a disciple, they couldn't even get close to being a disciple now.

"Senior, you're so amazing! But I heard that Master Sanitieta is a master of all types of magic, and he never easily displays his unique skills. I've heard that he used top-level earth-attributed magic, but on the battlefield, I saw him using ice, fire, wind, and no attributes. He's truly almighty. People like us can only specialize in one or two, so what are the assessment criteria? What level do I need to reach to become his disciple?"

"Yes, I wanted to learn it before, but he was busy building the Mage Tower at the time. The two elves who were his disciples were willing to teach me, but I think elves are generally proficient in wood and wind magic, and I mainly study earth and non-attribute magic, so it was a bit awkward."

"Saslin" took a sip of juice, slowly put down the cup, and replied calmly with the tone of a hermit, "I've always been quite direct with my words, so maybe you might find that offensive. I apologize first. Actually, I think your magical attainments are far from enough at the moment. There's a gap between mages, even bigger than between apprentices and mages. If you're content with the status quo, even if you join the Mage Tower, you'll only be a burden to Master Sanita.

You have to know that Master Sanita is a mage who can fight dragons head-on. You all should at least be like me and be able to hold out for five minutes in the hands of a dragon to be considered a beginner."

"Hiss--" All the mages present who did not go to the battlefield in the dragon-slaying battle took a deep breath after hearing this, not to mention the apprentice who was eavesdropping with his head tilted and ears stretched at the table next to him. This requirement really made their scalps tingle, but the status among academic professions like mages was based on strength and academic attainments. Now that no one could see the attainments, since the ice mage said so, it meant that he was indeed the strongest among them. Everyone looked at the blue-robed mage with a bit of respect.

"But my level is not even as good as Master Sanitita's. He just lightly touched it and broke my most proud magic trick, but I can't figure out the principle and method of breaking it. Sigh, the gap between us in talent is too big. I'm afraid that even the royal magicians are not as powerful as him. This is the great hermit who lives in seclusion in the city. If I can only have a quarter of his strength, I will have no regrets in my magical studies."

He stroked his beard, sighed, and said slowly:

"Alas, if I were like those mortals, untouched by magic, then looking at Master Sanitieta would be like a frog in a well seeing the bright moon. But unfortunately, now that I have entered the realm of magic, I am like a mayfly seeing the sky. The more I compare myself to him, the more powerless I feel. Fortunately, I don't ask for much; I only hope to receive a little guidance from him, and I will be very satisfied."
