The faint light of the rising sky shone in through the window, and noisy sounds gradually came from the street.
In winter, the days are long and the nights are short...
It seems that this world is the same.
Livia opened her eyes, looked at the faint light coming in from the window, turned over and sat up. It was already the morning of the third day, and it was time as agreed.
Twisting her neck and stretching her body, Livia quickly put on her clothes and equipment and opened the system interface.
[Livia Kaer Morhen] Constitution: 20.6 Spirit: 24.1+0.5 (Ring +0.5) Strength: 17.2 Agility: 17.2 Resistance: 21.3 Seal: 13 (Permanent +7) Remaining attribute points: 0 Talent: Demon Hunter, Light of the Mind.
Skills (Battle Points: 1): Quick Attack/Muscle Memory (1/5)/Powerful Attack/Defense/Igni Sign/Heliotrop Sign/Mutation/Trial of Grass/After glancing at her own attributes, Livia closed the interface.
After a brief thought, he added all the attribute points he gained when completing the mission the night before to the seal. Although he originally planned to stack strength and agility to the limit of 20 and then add seals, that was before he obtained the Heliotrop Signet. After all, the benefit of adding signs with only one Igni Signet was not very high. But it was different after he had the Heliotrop Signet that could defend against magic.
Naturally, he invested all his skill points into the seal. In fact, it would be even better if he had the Quen Seal as well, which could resist physical magic. Add in the Igni Seal, and he could be half a wizard.
It’s a pity that he only has a combat skill point, not a magic sign skill point.
He hasn't decided which skill tree to add that few combat skill points to. According to the main storyline of the Witcher Legacy, in order to complete it as soon as possible, he should pursue efficiency and continue to put points on the cat-style quick attack.
However, after practicing, understanding and using the cat school's swordsmanship and skill tree, he found that although it was very useful against humans, humanoid creatures, and monsters, once it came to facing large monsters, it could be best described in one word - scraping.
That's right, reality is not a game. In the game, everything is calculated based on data, but in reality, the Cat Faction's skill tree and swordsmanship are a bit difficult to use against large monsters, not to mention large monsters, even the kind of flesh and blood hybrid structures that he encountered before that had evolved once, and they were unable to cause effective damage for a while. So in reality, the Cat Faction is okay when dealing with small or humanoid creatures, but once it faces large or special monsters, it is difficult to break through the defense.
The main job of a witcher is to hunt demons and monsters. It is too difficult for the cat faction to deal with thick-skinned monsters, and the casualty rate is estimated to be very high. On the contrary, it is very easy to deal with fragile humans. After all, even if it is an extraordinary person, like Livia's current physique, a normal person with a sharp sword can still hurt him or kill him.
This may be the reason why many cat hunters in the game switch to become professional killers or robbers in the end. The serpent school may also be for this reason. It is too difficult for them to deal with large monsters using poison and hidden weapons and traps. The traps they set up with great effort are directly destroyed due to miscalculation of the monster's strength, and several days of effort are wasted. It is better for them to become killers and robbers like cat hunters.
The cat faction's flexibility and swordsmanship, the bear faction's armor-piercing and defense, the wolf faction's versatility, the venomous snake faction's poisonous hidden weapons and traps, the griffin faction's magical sigils, and the flying lion (lion scorpion) faction's alchemy.
Livia had been thinking about it for the whole day yesterday but still couldn't make up her mind. Although Jim, who was taken in by Kovag, was now following the bear faction route, it was not impossible to change.
However, although he has not made up his mind yet, based on his habits, he has already rejected the Viper and Flying Lion. The routes of these two are basically not to his liking. Besides, he has almost no skill points now, and it is too difficult to go in this direction. It is better for him to choose one between Panda and Wolf.
"Huh..." Livia took a deep breath, put on her backpack, picked up the two swords on the table, pushed the door and walked out.
Anyway, it’s still early. I’ve only just opened up the second row of the skill tree. Why bother thinking so much? Let’s get down to business first and meet up with the wandering knight named Caius.
The wooden staircase creaked as usual under Livia's feet. The tavern owner, who was already behind the counter preparing to open the tavern early in the morning, looked up when he heard the sound. "It's so early. It's just dawn."
"It's getting late. I have to meet him at the hotel entrance at seven o'clock."
Livia walked down the stairs and smiled.
"Well, your breakfast has been prepared in advance. Little Henry, bring the freshly prepared breakfast from the kitchen over here."
The tavern owner nodded and shouted behind him that the middle-aged waiter had been replaced by a young man who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. Yesterday, the tavern owner said that he was the son of the previous middle-aged waiter and would come to take over for a few days.
Livia glanced at the back of the figure walking towards the kitchen, walked to the counter and sat down, placing the sword in her hand on the side of the counter.
"How are the things I asked you to help buy yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, the tavern owner bent down, took out a small bag from under the counter and placed it on the counter, making some slight clinking sounds.
"The item you want is 30 londins, plus 5 londins for the journey."
Livia took the small bag, untied the tied bag, looked at the bottles and jars inside and nodded, then took out a small silver coin and a key from the leather bag at her waist and placed them on the table.
Yesterday he asked the tavern owner to help him buy some herbal powder with a strong pungent smell that could repel mosquitoes and some monsters, so that he could prepare for the next mission. After all, he had to go to an unknown forest. Although it might not be as dangerous as the Bone Forest, he still had to be prepared. It didn't cost much anyway.
Both parties put away the things on the counter. At this time, the young waiter came with a tray and placed it on the counter in front of Livia.
"Oh, there are two more roast duck legs. Are you trying to blackmail me before I leave?"
Livia looked at the breakfast on the counter in front of her and said to the tavern owner opposite with a surprised smile.
"What are you talking about? It's a gift for you!"
"Do you want it or not? Don't force me to eat it myself."
The tavern owner slapped the counter in annoyance, rolled his eyes at him, and stretched out his hand as if to take something.
"No, no, it's just a joke."
Livia stopped him with a smile, and grabbed a duck leg with one hand. Of course, it was the hand without gloves. If he used the beast hunter gloves to grab it, it would be troublesome to deal with the oil stains. He also didn't want to ruin such an extraordinary item.
"snort."
The tavern owner snorted in dissatisfaction, and then the door of the tavern was pushed open and a customer came in.
Are there guests early in the morning?
Livia looked over with some confusion and found that it was a drunkard who had been at the same table with Henry before.
The tavern owner walked out from the counter with an expressionless face, went to the drunkard at the door, and the two seemed to chat about something, then walked towards the kitchen in the back.
"Well, I have something to do. You eat, and then just go do your task."
Halfway through the walk, the tavern owner suddenly remembered something and shouted to Livia at the counter.
Livia gnawed on a duck leg and raised her gloved right hand to indicate that she understood.
Although he was somewhat curious about what was going on between the two, he was not curious to the point where he had to know. Compared to this, it was more important to quickly finish the breakfast in front of him and meet up with Caius.
Although it was estimated that there was still half an hour until seven o'clock, his extraordinary spirit and perception allowed him to roughly judge the current time based on his biological clock. The prerequisite was that he did not lose his sense of time for too long, such as being unconscious for several days in a row. It would be difficult for him to judge the time after waking up.
