Closing the journal, Noita looked around.
This is a mountain forest. Climbing to the top of the tree and looking out, you can see a majestic city located in the distant wilderness. Dotted villages and towns are scattered between the mountains and forests, surrounding and guarding the central city of the mountain people - Serkar.
The Layered Rock Cave is on the south side of Serkar City, and Noita swam to the east side along the waterway. As long as she doesn't expose herself, she can live a stable life for a long time.
It's just that her current attitude of wanting to live alone would be very obvious.
Mountain people regard children as precious treasures of continuation and rarely let them wander around. If a child lives alone, it will cause a lot of criticism, and the mountain guards who hear the news will send the child to a special orphanage.
She looks too young now. If she wants to live in Serkar for a long time, she needs to find an ally or obtain a magical artifact that can change her body.
Noita was thinking about the future. She waved her hand and most of the water on her clothes dripped off as if they were being wrung out. A slight heat wave rolled over and dried the wet clothes clean.
When a psychic awakens his psychic powers, the Void Realm will directly grant him a psychic skill, which is like an alternative limb that the psychic is born with, and can be mobilized at will, with considerable power.
The mastery of the Four Phases is the skill of mobilizing earth, water, wind and fire. It has many magical uses and considerable power.
After tidying herself up in a quiet corner, Noita adjusted the shape of her ears in front of the reflection of the spring, changing into the appearance of a half-orc. At the same time, she cut her loose clothes into a fitting style and put them on. Then, she carried the Frost Blade wrapped tightly in cloth on her back and headed towards the city of Serkar.
Her perfect physique allows her to master and optimize her body, making it easy for her to temporarily transform into a halfling.
Although she could see the city of Serkar from the treetops, Serkar was actually very far away from her, at least sixty kilometers away. When the footsteps of dusk caught up with Noita, she barely reached the foot of the mountain.
Late at night, Noita arrived at a small town, crossed the farmland with rolling wheat fields, and knocked on the door of the tavern. The sleepy owner pushed the door open, looked around in confusion and complained about "whose prank was it" and was about to close the tavern.
Noita blocked the door with her hand and knocked, drawing the boss's attention downstairs.
The boss's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily, inviting Noita in. "Ah, I'm so sorry, little sir, I didn't see you just now. Are you here to stay?"
"Yes, stay overnight, and have two more portions of bread and water."
"One silver coin."
Noita paid the money promptly. There were five emergency gold coins in Jinglin Shadow's waist bag, which was enough for her to use for a while.
The boss was in a good mood and went to the kitchen to prepare food.
It is not uncommon to meet a halfling at night. No matter how remote the tavern or inn is, you may encounter a halfling traveler in the middle of the night, and there are many happy legends and nursery rhymes about halflings circulating among the mountain people.
A peaceful night, Noita thought.
……
"Fei Xin, wake up."
In the forest cave, Jinglin Zhiying, who was unfortunately knocked unconscious, heard the call of his companions and woke up slowly.
Fei Xin found herself lying in a huge cave while her colleagues were cleaning up the battlefield.
She immediately understood the timing.
The battle is over.
"Captain." Fei Xin lowered her head in shame, regretting not contributing to the battle.
"You were unconscious in a remote room. The team that found you confirmed your identity and moved you here. Please verbally explain what happened."
"Yes."
Fei Xin abandoned unfounded guesses and objectively described the entire process after entering the cave, from meeting Noita to tracking her and being defeated by her.
After hearing everything, the captain pondered and said, "Submit a detailed report later and be prepared to face the elders' accountability."
"Yes." Fei Xin took a deep breath and said, "I have memorized her scent. If you want to hunt her down, please let me participate."
"Hard to say."
There were many demons and monsters in the Dark Moon Land. Although a secret-bearing homunculus had escaped, there was no need to go to great lengths to find him. Whether he could be captured depended solely on fate. In contrast, the Bloodlust Cult had many more troublesome individuals who had escaped. They were the real heavyweights.
Chapter 7: Many Joys in Serkar City
Late at night, Noita counted the harvest.
【Noita】
[Occupation: Level 1 Warrior]
[Skills: Perfect Physique, Swordsmanship Mastery, Weapon Mastery, Basic Swordsmanship lv10, Snow Sword lv3, Legion Swordsmanship lv3]
[Psionic Skills: Four Phases]
[Props: Heavenly Cup Ceremony, Frost Blade]
[Experience: 7200]
I gained a lot, and just looking at the log is a pleasure.
Noita was the first to pick up the Heavenly Cup Ceremony.
Although she was not familiar with the rituals of the Path of the Cup, she understood the value of the Heavenly Cup Ceremony - the first leader of the Dawn of Life was an oracle singer favored by Miao Le Tian, and his works would attract Miao Le Tian's attention.
According to the player who obtained this book in the previous life, this ritual is the original text, which shows orthodoxy and is of immeasurable value. The player who obtained this book was hunted by NPCs until the cults found that they could not get it out and offered him an irresistible price to buy him out.
It's a very precious item that can be sold at a sky-high price. No one knows how it ended up in the rock cave.
Stroking the Heavenly Cup Ceremony, Noita tried to read it, but the words and sentences in the book were all poetic metaphors combined with historical quotations, which Noita really couldn't understand.
The content is meaningless, I won’t read it.
She pursed her lips, put down the ceremony, and checked the log.
Frost Blade
[Excellent Rare Item] (Ice Explosion Enchanted)
[A standard weapon produced by the Furnace Workshop, costly to craft, capable of cutting through iron like mud. Blessed by both the Winter and Shadow paths upon its creation, this sword emanates a hidden and dangerous power of extreme cold.]
Deals bonus cold damage when dealing damage.
Three times a day, you can use a command character to trigger the power of extreme cold, erupting with deadly frost, freezing all units within a three-foot radius except yourself.
The Frost Blade is very effective and is a high-quality weapon that players can obtain in the early stages. It can be used until level 16, but it is not suitable as her main weapon before her identity is exposed.
You also need to get a weapon with a clean origin.
A perfect physique is an ability that professionals can only master after reaching a high level. People with this ability can perfectly control their bodies and optimize and modify themselves bit by bit. It is said that professionals who have been immersed in high-level positions for many years can even adjust their flesh and blood in real time, reaching a state where they can adapt to any situation.
The flesh-shaping ritual directly bestowed this ability upon her, which could be considered a gift from the Tao.
The Tao will bestow blessings upon professionals when they reach a high level. Professionals can choose to develop one physique from [Invincible Physique] and [Perfect Physique]. Now that Noita has a perfect physique, he can choose the invincible physique without thinking when making decisions.
Psionic skills are standard equipment for psionicists. The Four Phases is the first psionic skill mastered, which guarantees both damage and flexibility. With Noita's current psionic energy reserves, he can perform the Four Phases seven times a day.
Occupation is an abstract term. There are differences in the abilities that individuals acquire from different or the same paths, but when the number of individuals reaches a certain level, the abilities acquired will be repeated.
People pick out effective abilities to form a system, and this system is called a career.
Warrior, Mage, Druid... many different names have been formed over a long period of time.
It was not until the gods certified the concept of professions, established career templates on the road, and allowed professionals who had reached the exemplary level to upload them that the concept of professions became popular.
However, the quality of professions that can be open-sourced varies greatly, and there are only a few professions that can reach the peak.
The warrior is a profession on the path of competition, upright and simple. It hones the body, skills and consciousness to an unparalleled level. At low levels, you can rarely find a profession that can fight better than the warrior.
A first-level warrior possesses the [Weapon Proficiency] trait, which enables the warrior to skillfully use various simple weapons and military weapons, so as not to fall into a situation where there are no weapons available.
This professional feature is dispensable for Noita. The reason for choosing a warrior is because it has a 10% combat experience bonus.
After checking the profession, Noita confirmed that it was consistent with the game display, and then turned his attention to the most important experience value.
She hadn't thought about how to spend her experience.
After the "Revelation of Destiny" popped up in the diary, she felt that experience would have many uses. In the future, she needed to explore the use of the diary and spend her experience wisely.
There is no need to rush about upgrading. Although 7200 experience points are enough for her to reach level 6, the truly useful professional abilities are all between levels 6 and 10. The professional abilities of the first five levels do not significantly improve combat power, so it is better to save the experience points for emergencies.
The next morning, Noita left the hotel in high spirits.
She jogged happily towards the city of Serkar, and on the way she met a group of kind people who were willing to give her a ride. They were a caravan of merchants, and they felt pity for her because she was so small and had to hurry on her way.
Noita had no reason to refuse a ride, so he decisively agreed to go.
On the way, Noita borrowed a harp from the caravan and improvised a cheerful autumn song, which drew applause from everyone.
In the evening, the convoy paid the entrance fee and drove into the city, stopping at a special area to rest. The convoy then dispersed and everyone went about their own business.
Noita also said goodbye to the team.
The first avenue upon entering East City was called Golden Oriole Avenue. It ran straight to the Elders' Hall in the city center, lined with shops where peddlers hawked various goods. Branch streets radiated from Golden Oriole Avenue like a spider web, connecting to other avenues and blocks, dividing the vast city of Serkar into distinct neighborhoods.
Noita turned into a side road, ready to spend some time to find out the situation in Seran City.
But before she had gone far, a wall of people blocked her way.
Looking up, she saw three men with malicious intentions. They were tall and strong, in their prime, with tattoos of unknown meaning on their skin.
Noita went around to the left, and they followed him to the left, blocking the road ahead, as if they wanted to have a fistfight with Noita.
"Is something wrong?"
Noita patiently asked them what they wanted.
Noita has always been good-tempered, but she would still feel annoyed when people deliberately blocked her way, especially when these people required her to raise her head to see their faces.
Well, if they answer that it was a joke, then just break their arms and legs.
But since he was stopped on purpose, it was impossible for it to be a joke just to attract her attention.
After Noita stopped asking questions, the three people who stopped her quickly dispersed, surrounded her, and kept getting closer to occupy the space, trying to use the pressure created by the size difference to force her into an inconspicuous alley on the side.
Noita followed their instructions and retreated into the alley, gradually moving backwards until his backs hit the debris blocking the alley, and they stopped together.
The leader grinned and said, "Little sister, lend me some money."
The voice was particularly cunning, making Noita feel genuinely uncomfortable.
She leaned against the wall and looked around.
The warm autumn light lazily sprinkled on the streets of Serkar, but was stingy with these winding alleys, allowing them to be occupied by shadows.
Shadows from the eaves and walls fell, the narrow walkways were crowded with debris, and the ground was covered with dark red filth. It looked unpleasant, remote, and dark, not a good place.
This is indeed a good place for robbery. If it weren't for me, they might have succeeded.
Noita raised her index finger and shook it gently, then knocked on the alley wall. A low rumbling sound suddenly sounded, and deeper darkness covered the only light in the alley.
They looked back and were shocked to find that a mud wall had suddenly risen at the entrance of the alley.
"It's unfortunate that you met me."
A faint light emerged from Noita's eyes, and the atmosphere and wind were gathered into hammers by psychic power, which suddenly slammed into the robbers' calves. There was only a click, and the next moment their calves were twisted beyond recognition.
"what!!"
"my leg!"
"Please spare us, sir! This is the first time we've done this, please let us go!"
The howling of people like slaughtered pigs was heard in the alleys. The robbers kept shaking and rolling on the dirty ground. Their leg bones were broken and dislocated. The deep pain that hit their brains made people want to cry.
Noita watched them begging for mercy and said coldly, "I have a riddle for you to answer. If you can answer it, I'll spare your lives. Do you know what goes into an alley with six legs and comes out with twelve?"
"No, I don't know!"
Noita replied, "It's you."
There was no change in the screams. It seemed that the locals did not understand Noita's joke.
Tsk, a guy with no sense of humor.
Noita kicked the arm of the person she hated in dissatisfaction, which made the screams even louder. The remaining two people howled even harder, fearing that Noita would kick them too.
In front of the three people, she crushed a small stone with her toes, turning it into dust, and threatened: "Hand over your money, and I will spare your lives."
At this point, the identities are swapped.
The violent act frightened the three men, and they took out their money and gave it to Noita.
For a moment, she was more of a bandit than the three of them.
The total amount of scattered coins was no more than three gold coins, which was pitifully small and not even as much as the money Jing Lin Zhiying carried with him.
Noita snorted coldly, removed the earthen wall, and walked back into the sunlight. A kind smile immediately returned to her face. She continued walking along the street. No one dared to rob her at this time. Her screams were heard far away in the street, enough to make an example of others.
After she walked away, the man who had the same tattoo as the three others ran to the alley entrance, looked around, and happened to see the person crawling out while holding back the pain.
