Chapter 22: Future Druid Mentor



The sword dance just now was just a copycat. If it were really used in actual combat, I'm afraid it would not be able to achieve the so-called skill effect of "attacking all enemies around".

On the contrary, he might be easily blocked by the first enemy, and then Lann would be surrounded and attacked by enemies from all directions.

What Lann imitated were just "sword moves", not "skills" at all.

If you want to use the skills in the game and get the special effects in the game, you still have to invest 20 skill points in the [Combat] skill and activate [Whirling Sword Dance].

Lann looked at the other skill in the list, which represented the graduation skill of the [Strike] series, and was nicknamed "New Year's Greetings Sword Skill" by the players.

[Rage Burst]: Ignore enemy's defense, increase critical chance by 50%. Increase adrenaline poison: +5%. (5/5)

A super armor-piercing skill that ignores enemy defense. Once you learn it, you can usher in an era of equality for all under the sword.

Even when facing monsters like rock trolls or mountain giants covered with thick rock skin that cannot be destroyed even with a battering ram, the New Year's Sword Technique can still kill them all with a sword.

Before activating these two third-stage skills, which can be regarded as ultimate moves, Lann still needs to invest 5 skill points in the second-stage skills.

Now that [Mobility] has reached the maximum level, the remaining choices in the second-level skills are relatively mediocre. What Lan En covets most is the [Undead Clan] who can use adrenaline toxin to restore vitality.

[Undead]: When your health drops to 0, if you still have adrenaline points, you can use adrenaline to restore your health. The amount of recovery depends on the adrenaline points used. Adrenaline poison increases: +5%. (5/5)

A passive resurrection skill. However, the [Battle Fever] series of skills of [Undead Clan] requires the Demon Hunter's adrenaline toxin to work, and now it cannot be activated like a seal.

Seeing a bunch of buggy skills in front of you but not being able to learn them because you are not a demon hunter is such a painful feeling.

In the end, Lan En thought about it and decided to spend his skill points on the second-level skills of the [Quick Attack] series, and first improve his basic combat ability honestly:

[Precision Heavy Attack] Rapid attack critical hit chance increases by 10%, rapid attack critical hit damage increases by 75%. Adrenaline poison increases by +5%. (5/5)

Lane was very much looking forward to seeing how the so-called "critical hits" and "critical hit damage" would perform in the real world. He was afraid that in the later stages he would be able to pierce the Barrel Knight with a simple stab of a wooden stick.

Show the master style of martial arts in the Western fantasy world.

The old butler, Ens, arrived at the time when Lann's daily morning exercise was over, and handed over a towel and clean water so that his lord earl could rest for a while.

The old man stared at the marks on Lan's neck left by Rose Garden and said, "My Lord Earl, several families have sent us invitations to the banquet. Do you need to take a look?"

"Please help me reject them all." Lan En was completely unaware of the old butler's gaze. "I'm not interested in banquets or anything like that, you know."

"Master, these are banquets hosted by people of your age," the old butler emphasized, "the young ladies of their respective families and the young masters and young ladies of other families will attend."

Lann stopped and felt that the old butler was acting strangely today. Normally, after he expressed his refusal to such a banquet invitation, the old butler would immediately deal with it.

"Well... I think I understand what you mean, Ens." Lann said carefully, "But I don't have any ideas in this regard at the moment, so please help me reject them all."

The old butler sighed and agreed.

Then he continued, "Master, Consultant Mossak returned this morning. He will continue teaching Princess Cirilla from today. You asked me to remind you to visit after the consultant returns."

This news lifted Lan's spirits. The "warlock" he needed was back!

"Pack your things and go to the palace now, or you'll be late and miss us!"

"I'll give the order right away." Ens nodded and said, "But please wear more... decent clothes today."

Lann asked in confusion, "Huh? Are my usual clothes not decent enough? Don't worry, Uncle Mossak won't care about that."

A moment later, Lann, wearing a high-necked casual suit, sighed and walked towards the palace with three servants.

Lann angrily accused the three servants: "You three have six eyes, how come you couldn't see it? Why didn't anyone remind me?"

Facing the Earl's accusation, the slightly braver Archer Servant Ace stammered: "This... 'Rose Seal' is one of the characteristics of the Rose Garden. Many people go there just for this."

"But this is my first time there, I don't know! Is this how I talk to people on the way home?" Lann beat his chest and shouted, "I will never pay for you again!"

"Oh, please don't, Count..."

Strictly speaking, Mossak is not a warlock or wizard in the traditional sense, he is a learned and powerful druid. Although the manifestation of power is similar, their lifestyles, principles of doing things, etc. are obviously different.

Mossak maintained friendships with many kings and sorcerers, and was once the protagonist's savior.

Many years ago, Mossak was invited as a guest to Ciri's mother's marriage selection banquet. He witnessed the powerful magic explosion of Ciri's mother Pavetta, and also saw the fate of Geralt, the protagonist of the "Witcher" series, and Ciri, who was still in her infancy, entangled. After the banquet, he chose to stay in Cintra to teach the young princess. After Ciri was born, he also took on the task of teaching Ciri.

It doesn't teach magic, but basic knowledge enlightenment.

Cintra has abundant martial virtues, and Queen Calanthe does not need the power of Mossak as a druid. Mossak is more often just an advisor and teacher to Princess Ciri, providing knowledge services to the queen.

It is worth mentioning that there were deeper reasons for the magical outburst of Ciri's mother Pavetta at that time, and this reason was also one of the reasons why Mossak chose to stay in Cintra.

Ancient Blood. The ancient blood of Queen Calanthe, Pavetta, and Ciri, contains powerful power.

Lane has it too.

[Talent: Ancient Blood (Unawakened)]

It is said that this thing is passed down to girls but not boys, so it is of no use to Lann for the time being.

Lann knew that Mossak's ability was far more than that. After the fall of Cintra, Mossak would return to the Druid Circle to continue his studies, and eventually become a mentor-level figure, and continue to play a pivotal role in the subsequent plot.

And now, this future druid mentor was packing up his books and preparing to go out to teach Princess Ciri, and happened to bump into Lann on his way out.

Mossak had a look on his face, like an old father watching his child grow up. As a royal family member and Ciri's childhood sweetheart, Lann had often received instruction from Mossak when he was young.

"Lane!" Mossak opened his arms and hugged him. "Long time no see, my little lion."
