"Wei Shake, 23 years old, the second son of Baron Shake's younger brother. He has longed to become a knight since he was a child, but because he was not strong enough, he was not able to be trained as a knight. Later, he learned his skills from an old thief who was arrested and collected. He started to be an adventurer five years ago. He is good at playing with daggers and light crossbows. He also has certain attainments in lock picking, valuation and stealth tracking. As for dismantling traps and pickpocketing, his level is relatively poor..." Sui Xiong finished this in an understatement. paragraph, asking, “Am I right?”
The thin man Wei Xia Ke, who was prostrated on the ground, looked shocked, and then turned to relief and admiration. Sui Xiong could clearly see that he was shouting in his heart, "He is indeed a master! He is so awesome!" .
(…Hasn’t this guy ever thought that I might be a spy or something?)
Sui Xiong sighed silently, and then asked: "You are just a noble kid, so you just want to be an adventurer. Why do you become a thief? It's a bit embarrassing."
"Apart from this, what else can I be?" Wei Xia Ke said with a grimace. "Knights need to receive special training. I am not strong enough, and my family is reluctant to waste money on training me. As for warriors and rangers, etc. Yes, they are no better than tourists..."
"Wanderer?" Sui Xiong was slightly stunned, and then he understood why the opponent's skill configuration was like this - each profession has sub-categories with different tendencies. Among thieves, there are assassins who specialize in assassination, and those who specialize in discovering and cracking mechanisms. There are treasure-hunting masters, master thieves who specialize in pickpocketing and bluffing, and wanderers like Wei Shake who specialize in combat and a few auxiliary skills, but are not good at treasure hunting and stealing.
To put it bluntly, wanderers are thieves who prefer frontal combat and auxiliary adventures. They have strong survivability and can adapt quickly no matter where they go. At the same time, their behavior tends to be more positive and less likely to cause trouble and enemies. For Wei Xia Ke, who was born in a noble family, it was indeed a better choice.
"So, what do you want to learn from me?" Sui Xiong smiled and asked straight to the point.
This time, Wei Xia Ke was stunned.
In fact, he just saw Sui Xiong's great magical power, and he immediately felt strong envy and admiration. Without thinking carefully, he came to become his disciple. As for what to really learn? When Sui Xiong asked about this, he felt a little distressed.
In his opinion, this hidden master should be very good at illusions, and could even be said to be superb. There were so many people in the tavern, but no one could tell when Sui Xiong used what means to switch places between himself and the official spy, and when he subdued him and transformed into his own appearance. If you can learn this skill, your strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, which will be of great help in both adventure and combat.
However, is illusion really the only thing this strong man is good at
And...if he is best at illusion, would he be willing to teach his special skills easily
Wei Xia Ke thought about it carefully, recalling the difficulties he had when he was learning the art, and recalling the procrastinating and hiding attitude of the old man - the old thief who taught him the art - and he couldn't help but feel worried secretly.
At this time, he began to feel that he was a little too reckless? Should we check the tone of voice first or something? or…
"Have you thought about it?" Sui Xiong interrupted his thoughts and asked again, "What do you want to learn from me?"
Wei Xia Ke was shocked, and immediately recovered from his random thoughts, and subconsciously replied: "Illusion."
"Illusion?" Sui Xiong asked slightly surprised, "You want to learn illusion from me?"
"Yes, the illusions you performed before are beyond imagination. So I want to learn illusions from you - of course, as long as you are willing to give guidance or teach me, I am willing to learn any skills. I am not really greedy enough to have to learn illusions. ." Wei Shake replied.
Sui Xiong looked at him carefully to make sure he was telling the truth. Then he thought for a while and said, "If you want to learn illusions, of course you can. But I can't teach you skills for no reason... Well, I'll give you some I will teach you as much as you can do the task well."
Wei Xia Ke breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a little relieved, but he became a little uneasy again.
I'm afraid this strong man's mission won't be that easy to complete...
"I'm very curious about the situation over there in the Great Swamp. It's said that the lord here, Viscount Samath, was awarded the title after his military exploits there, so I'm also very curious about what's going on." Sui Xiong said, "Just with the These two things are the theme. You go and collect information. Depending on the detail and reliability of your collection, I will decide how much to teach you."
Wei Xia Ke nodded repeatedly and asked: "Then, should I still come here to find you?"
"Well, I won't check out. Even if I'm not here temporarily, you can just wait for me for a few days."
After the thin man who wanted to learn from his master hurriedly said goodbye and left, Sui Xiong sat in the room and couldn't help laughing.
"Illusion...I'm really not good at this..."
Wei Xia Ke's ability is limited, and his vision is naturally not very good. What Sui Xiong used was not an illusion at all, but a much higher-end method - he first used the human immobilization technique to control the man in gray, then used the transposition technique to exchange their positions, and finally used two advanced phantom techniques. To change each other's image - all of this uses the special skills of "invisible casting" and "quick casting" to achieve an illusion-like effect.
In fact, he has a simpler way, which is to directly exert the authority of the gods. For example, he can temporarily transform the surrounding area into a divine kingdom, and then use the "Wishes Come True" in his extraordinary divine power to do this easily.
But that would be too conspicuous, so Sui Xiong would rather be a little more troublesome.
Although the spells he used were all driven by divine power and were much more powerful than ordinary spells, at least they did not use divine power directly.
Wei Shake couldn't see all of this at all. If he could see it, he would never say that he wanted to learn illusions, because among the spells Sui Xiong cast, only the advanced phantom spells were considered illusions, and neither the human fixation spells nor the transposition spells were. And compared to the advanced phantom technique, the super magic skill of "invisible spell casting" is actually more advanced. As for casting spells four times in a row, it is so powerful that it breaks through the sky, so powerful that it exceeds imagination, and it is so powerful that most spell casters in the world can They can't even dream of it.
Apart from anything else, just casting a spell four times in one instant is already a completely unreasonable behavior - the so-called "quickness" refers to something that can be done extremely quickly, but can only be done once in a while. . In other words, you should only be able to cast a spell quickly once per moment.
Four quick spellcastings in an instant... even if it was only two, it was already a miraculous skill. If a mage has such ability, he can basically defeat anyone of the same level. But if Sui Xiong can do this four times in an instant, he is simply powerful, invincible, and defiant... and so on.
But all this has nothing to do with Wei Xia Ke, and it has nothing to do with Sui Xiong for the time being.
For Sui Xiong, the top priority now is to sharpen his weapons before battle, research and improve his illusion skills, so that he can teach them to Wei Shake after he completes his mission...
