The dried fish that Miss Ayala was about to put into her mouth just stopped in mid-air. She was stunned for a while and then blinked: "'Smart Guard,' big man, why did you ask about that cat? "Is there something wrong with this? Isn't this the monk inheritance system unique to you cat people and only you can use it?" Barrett looked at the Catwoman in front of him with confusion. Full of doubts. "Haha! That's right. A big guy like you is not a cat person like us, so naturally you don't understand the key point in this." Miss Ayala in front of her randomly threw a small dried fish into her mouth and left the fish tail behind. Just outside the mouth, he chewed the dried fish with his small tiger teeth and started sucking it. Looking at the catwoman in front of him who squinted her eyes and tasted the dried fish carefully, Barrett always felt that there seemed to be something vaguely expressed in her words just now. This made Barrett's heart thump and he had a very bad premonition. He had no choice but to interrupt Miss Ayala's taste and hurriedly asked: "Is it true that there are very few inheritors of the 'Smart Guard' profession among your tribe?" "Forget it! Tell me about yourself first. Why do you need to find a 'Smart Guard'? Meow! I'll decide how to give you an answer." Although the process of enjoying the dried fish was interrupted by Barrett, it really made the cat person unhappy. But in front of her, Miss Ayala, seeing that the other party was a supplier of dried fish, still considered herself an adult and ignored the petty faults and said: "If the information is not too secretive, I might be able to cat for free!", " The thing is, there is a smart guard among my teammates, but because he left his birthplace too early to venture out, there seems to be some problems with the inheritance, especially the very important professional ability 'Guardian'. Cats are not as controllable as the tradition says, so I thought if I could find a forerunner on the path of a 'Smart Guardian' in the territory to give him some guidance." Of course, it is difficult for Barrett to hide it from others. Of course, more importantly, Miss Ayala in front of him is in the same camp as himself, so he is not afraid of causing too much trouble if it is leaked. Hearing this, Miss Ayala opened her mouth wide, and even the dried fish she was tasting in her mouth fell out. However, as an agile wanderer, this 'thief cat' suddenly caught the dried fish that was falling in the middle of ~2, m¡ê. Then she put the dried fish into her mouth again, and then said with a grin: "Sorry! I was really scared just now. I never thought that I would meet someone of the same race who chose the profession of smart guard. And he has practiced to the extent of being able to use the 'Guardian Cat'. " "You mean, do you mean that this professional system has declined among cat people?" Barrett immediately frowned after hearing this. brow. Miss Ayala chewed the dried fish with her cheeks and swallowed it before saying: "Although it cannot be said that this professional system has completely disappeared among the entire cat people. But at least according to what I know Judging from the situation, there are no famous inheritors in the Nohan Kingdom and the surrounding countries. At least if someone of the same clan learned the 'Guardian Cat', I should be able to get the news. Unfortunately, this is what I heard from you. "The only one I've ever seen, meow." "In this case, it's no different from being lost! It's obviously a special inheritance of the ethnic group, but why has it withered like this?" Barrett asked with a frown. This is a bit incredible. In his memory, the special occupational system belonging to a certain ethnic group often has special abilities that general occupations do not have. Although it cannot be said that the specialized variant is necessarily stronger, it is definitely more suitable for their ethnic group. After combining the two characteristics, it should not be weaker than the common general system. Rather, it is because of its special abilities that it can play a role that cannot be replaced by others on certain occasions. It shouldn't go down like this. "Forget it! Anyway, there is a 'Smart Guard' among your companions. Sooner or later, he will have to go to his birthplace to learn about the situation. It doesn't matter if I tell you in advance here!" He took out another fish from the paper bag. Miss Ayala smiled and said, "We cat people! In fact, cats are very unsuitable for the professional system of monks. Even the 'Smart Guard' who prefers our characteristics cannot actually completely make up for the difference between race and that Contradictions between professions. Although I don¡¯t know why that system was established in the first place, but now the talented people of the same race rarely spend their efforts in this direction, and those who really embark on this path naturally have little qualifications. Type. The result is naturally what it is now. Cat people are easy-going and agile, but they often have cognitive deficiencies. The result of systemization is to increase agility and charm while reducing perception, but for a monk, it is completely uneconomical. In addition, if Tianwu does not have wildSexual combat ability cannot be blasted. The built-in pounce expertise is limited to claws rather than complete unarmed strike capabilities, and requires a very high level to obtain. This makes the Cat Monk extremely difficult to mix in the early stages. Aboriginal people are not players after all, and improving their strength cannot simply rely on defeating monsters, completing tasks, and gaining experience. For them, whether the monk, a professional system that requires perception, can break through the requirements for perception is not low. Even the 'Guardian Cat' ability of the 'Smart Guard' is very good. Combined with wild combat training, it can transform and pounce very early, and at the same time the damage is quite high. But this also requires a certain level of ability. How to get through the initial weak period has always been a problem that troubles Aboriginal professionals. The result of this is to embark on the road of "Smart Guard", which is a very cost-effective choice for aboriginal cat people. Over time, this inheritance has naturally declined, and finding a high-level professional related to it has become a fairly free thing. "Is there really nothing we can do?" Barrett asked, still feeling somewhat unwillingly. After Miss Ayala heard this, she even forgot to chew the dried fish in her mouth. She squinted her cat eyes and lowered her head as if thinking about something. Barrett, who saw this scene, naturally closed his mouth and did not intend to disturb this person's thinking. After a while, she finally said: "Anyway, this news may not have a certain result, so I won't charge you for the information. Just think of it as a gift to that fellow person you have never met!" You can go to the mage organization and ask, they may have good "Smart Guards" there? "And you can't confirm that they exist here?" Te frowned. But Miss Ayala nodded: "Since there are 'Smart Guards' like your companions that I don't know about, there are also 'Smart Guards' in places outside our ethnic group. You must know that although 'Smart Guards' are not important to their own development, Very advantageous, but a very suitable mage guard. It is said that a large part of the kittens that are kidnapped in various settlements fall into the hands of various mage organizations. Although I don't like those guys, you want them. If we can solve the problem, that should be a solution. "Really? Although it may be troublesome, we still have to give it a try." At this point, Barrett nodded, "Thank you very much, Miss Ayala." Your suggestion. If that doesn't work, we can only go back to the place of birth with him." After hearing this, Miss Ayala realized that Barrett was probably going to leave, and she put down her pretense. The bag of dried fish said: "How about you bring your companion to show me next time?" "If there is a chance, I will. After all, he is now more or less a member of the Bolum family, and he will be indispensable in the future. Connect with you fellow tribesmen." Barrett smiled and nodded. Obviously he is happy to see this kind of thing happen. After all, Lalu and Lierli are already marginalized in the Bolum family system. As a relatively rare profession in the family, mage can also get some preferential treatment. But there are some cats who are neither good nor bad. If they want to have a good career, it is best to get some extra help. Joining the cat people originally in the Bolum family system is a suitable choice. . In any developing organization, there will inevitably be factions. However, as long as competition can be controlled within a reasonable range, the advantages to those in power outweigh the disadvantages. Similarly, as a newcomer who has just entered the organization and has no deep foundation, joining certain small groups will also be a good help for development. After ending this meeting, Barrett immediately rushed back to the hotel. After dinner, Barrett gathered his companions together and told all the information he had obtained: "I didn't know this problem would be so troublesome at first, but I also found a new way, so it's not all fruitless. " "It seems that we will also stop by to inquire about this news in the future." Looking at Lalu and Lierli in silence, Clematis immediately dropped the topic: "By the way, I want to tell you some good news. , I have no restrictions on the confidentiality agreement. So I can definitely participate in this mission." "There is no problem on my side." The halfling wanderer also reported his situation. The good news from these two people really eased the players' emotions. Barrett nodded at this time: "Then let's just wait for this damn blizzard to pass!" The power of the Ice and Snow Goddess is not unlimited. After weeks of strong winds and blizzards. The woman finally vented her hysteria that had been building up for a whole year. The fireball that had been hidden in the clouds for many days finally appeared in everyone's sight. winter sunIt exudes its own light and heat as before, but when the sunlight falls on people's bodies, there is no burning sensation, it just makes people feel warm. As the blizzard passed, Earl Boham¡¯s envoy found Barrett that day and informed him of the Earl¡¯s summons. Barrett, who came to the city hall office again, took a deep breath, and then knocked on the door: "Barrett has been summoned to report." "Come in!" I don't know if it was an illusion, but Barrett always felt that Bo Earl Lem's words this time were much more serious than before. Barrett, who pushed in the door, beat his chest with his right hand: "Barrett Bolham, the family reserve, is here to report. Please give the order, Lord Earl." "Very good! This time your mission is to lurk in the northeast of the Cruze Kingdom. At the border, monitor the movements of Lucia's army there. If anything happens, report it immediately using the rare items given by the family." Count Bolum immediately issued the mission instructions. After hearing this, Barrett hammered his chest: "I guarantee that the mission will be completed! However, I think that such a mission should be carried out by one person. Why do we need to arrange so many people? Moreover, although the borders between the Cruze Kingdom and the Lucia Kingdom are smaller than Our country is shorter, but it still has a considerable scope. Can I think that there are other teams besides us involved? "Although he expressed doubts, Barrett still received the system prompt: "'Bloodstained' The Gray Flower Mercenary Group accepts the historical mission 'Sword and Fire' and the precursor mission 'Snowfield Lurking' The mission rewards will be settled after completion The series of missions can be accumulated" "You are right about this mission! You are the only lurking team. You are only responsible for the area you have divided." Speaking of this, Earl Bolum paused, "This is not an action of our family at all, but it is a qualified one in the kingdom. There are not many participants. As for the first question, that is because you not only need to monitor the movements of the nearby Lucia Kingdom, but also find ways to slow down their progress. This is of course not for you. Confront their troops head-on. But I think you are capable of destroying bridges and roads and attacking scouts. " "Is the war about to begin?" "Does the royal family know about this operation? How could Barrett who said this not understand Earl Boreham's voiceover. Earl Bolum crossed his hands: "According to the current situation, the war should be in this winter. As for the royal family, you don't need to be careful. Although everyone is constantly fighting, there is still a tacit understanding on such a major matter. "So how long do we need to delay the Kingdom of Lucia after the war breaks out?" Barrett continued to ask. Earl Bolum smiled strangely: "Just do your best! But your rewards will all depend on your performance in this area." "Just close proximity is enough?" In other words, this is actually a practical test? ¡¯ Barrett immediately understood Earl Boham¡¯s intention. (To be continued.)
