Just after Jason's words fell, a warm current overflowed from his stomach.
They turned into specks of light.
Like fireflies, like stars.
Then, in these rays of light, words were born.
sIoTYn!
Tufu language!
These newly born Tufuyu began to absorb a little bit of light, and when the light disappeared completely, there were only three characters left shining brightly in front of Jason's eyes.
Then, they merged into Jason's body.
When it comes, it is the stomach.
Returning time is the heart.
The picture complex language attached to the wall of Jason's heart will flash once every time Jason's heart beats.
The blood flowing from the heart began its initial changes under such flickering.
Jason couldn't perceive such a change for the time being.
But he could perceive a little difference.
His vision, hearing, and brain became clearer.
The most immediate changes are attributes.
In front of the retina, Jason saw a hint—
[Accepting mysterious baptism, judging...]
[Spirit +0.2, Perception +0.2]
…
And below the prompt is [Protection from Evil (Basic)]
[Protection against evil (basic): You need to know Tufu language and cooperate with some gestures, and consume a lot of physical strength to be able to activate this secret technique of defense and expulsion of evil. As a secret technique, it has been spread among night watchmen and In the inheritance of some other forces; learning it means that you have truly 'touched' to the mysterious side, and you have a little self-protection power, but don't expect too much, you just mastered its basics ;Effect: A special force field attached to the surface of the body, it can not only defend against the attacks of negative energy creatures (below the blade level), but also expel them and their attached power (below the blade level)]
(Note 1: Although it is a spell that does not require assistance, if you have sunflowers or pollen, it will be easier for you to complete this spell)
(Note 2: There is no fixed time for the completion of the gesture, it depends entirely on your hand speed)
(Note 3: When your stamina is not enough, you will be backlashed and hurt, but the effect of defense and expulsion of evil still exists)
…
"baptism?"
Jason was taken aback by this special word.
He raised his hand to his chest, feeling the strong beating of the heart in his chest.
He could feel that the scene just now was not just a so-called attribute increase, but a fundamental change.
That was a powerful beginning!
Although it may be inconspicuous at the beginning and at the moment, when it reaches a certain level, qualitative changes will naturally occur.
However, that will take a long time.
Thinking about it, Jason moved his gaze down to the introduction about [Protection from Evil (Basic)].
"The night watchman's secret technique, or in other words, can one be considered a night watchman only after mastering [Protection from Evil]?"
Jason guessed.
As for the message of 'his teacher', such a guess is almost certain.
However, the next few annotations made Jason uncertain.
"Below the blade level?"
"This represents the monster level?"
"If a monster that can be dealt with with a knife is at the blade level, then below the blade level..."
Uncertain guesses, and the description of 'below the blade level' made Jason feel very insecure. He almost subconsciously looked at the [Protection from Evil] needed to upgrade to the next level.
[To increase protection against evil (basic → entry), 6 points of satiety are required.]
…
An expected number.
"There is still 1 point of satiation remaining, more satiation is needed!"
After Jason glanced at [Saturation], he set his sights on the notebook that brought him many surprises.
This time, reading without obstacles allowed him to quickly find what he was looking for.
'Gtungsten hounds are a kind of guard dog bred by the witch Gtts to protect her herbal garden. They are cunning and cruel, they come in packs, they have excellent scale defenses, but they have a soft belly. Although they are called hounds, they are It was far from a real hound, and some people suspected that it was a kind of alien species, but with the death of the witch, Gartungssi, no one knew the true origin of this hound. '
'However, after the witch hunting incident, the tungsten hounds did not disappear. On the contrary, because they are easier to breed and raise, they are used by more witches and wizards as guard dogs to protect their property. Of course, It is more about hunting, after all, that is their job; in Enkel, there have been crosses between tungsten hounds and ordinary dogs, inheriting the strength of tungsten hounds and the loyalty and intelligence of ordinary hounds. Loved by high-level people, the price is extremely high (I haven't seen the real thing, just a rumor). '
Unlike the previous stumbling, this time Jason easily translated the full text.
Then, he flipped through the notebook again.
He hoped to find a technique similar to [Protection from Evil].
But it's a pity that the entire notebook only has one skill [Protection from Evil], and the rest are monster introductions.
"Such techniques should be uncommon."
"Or… "
"It was 'that teacher of mine' who thought I couldn't grasp that much."
Thinking about it, Jason carefully placed the note that 'his teacher' gave him in the inside of his jacket, on the side of his heart.
Two unexpected rescues were enough for him to understand that this notebook was much more than it seemed.
Although the most wanted knowledge has been obtained from it, it is better to keep it as a 'heart guard' than to leave it on the shelf.
Then, Jason began to check his weapons and ammunition.
After confirming that there is no problem, he walked out of the room.
Staying in the room, there will be no food coming to your door.
If you want to eat, you naturally need to hunt.
Of course, there is one more thing that is more imminent.
Bundy!
Bundy who stood with him at the 'Moon Mask' club before.
He is being targeted.
Where is Bundy
There is also a high chance of being targeted.
Jason would not ignore the death of the other party. After all, the cooperation between the two parties was quite pleasant, and he didn't want to change suddenly.
…
Bondi, who had just returned from Crocker Mine, Didaiku Street and other places, sat in the carriage and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Because, in those places, no weird changes like the 'moon mask' took place.
Even Bundy, a well-run sheriff, couldn't help feeling chills when he recalled the previous scene.
He had never faced a situation like that.
In comparison, those monsters look much cuter.
Of course, this is just a comparison.
If he really faced those monsters, Bundy would draw out his gun without hesitation and shoot the opponent.
"Monsters, moving corpses... When did Lord become like this?"
Bundy asked himself this way.
Then, he shook his head with a wry smile.
He doesn't know the answer.
All he knew was that he was supposed to fulfill the duties of a sheriff: to protect civilians and protect Lord.
leftover
His abilities are limited, and he can't manage so much.
well.
Sighing softly, Bundy took out his beloved pipe from his arms and pressed the shredded tobacco with one hand.
Exhaustion made him need tobacco to refresh himself, but before he could light the tobacco, a huge force suddenly came from the left side, causing Bundy to hit the wall of the carriage.
Then, before Bundy could react, there was a whirlwind.
