Chapter 29 Core Skills
[Detected the host's promotion to blacksmith conditions: 1. Blacksmith apprentice lv3 full level; 2. Strength 6 points or more, physique 6 points or more; 3. Forge any 10 qualified blacksmith products. All the current conditions are met, yes/no to promotion to blacksmith? ]
[Note: After promotion to blacksmith, the new blacksmith occupation panel will cover the original blacksmith apprentice panel. ]
Obviously, there is no need to consider this question at all, Ryan chose yes without hesitation!
[Ding! Promotion successful! ]
[Promotion to blacksmith successful! Strength +2! Obtained blacksmith core skills: Blacksmith Strength lv1, One-handed Hammer Expertise lv1. ]
[Blacksmith Strength lv1 (active): Because the blacksmith has been forging iron all year round, his muscle explosiveness is different from that of ordinary people. ]
[Hammer Expertise lv1 (passive): Because the blacksmith has been forging iron all year round, he is very familiar with large and small hammers, and can use them as if they were his arms. ]
Hiss! Core skills appeared?
Ryan was immediately surprised and happy!
This promotion can really be said to be a qualitative leap!
After telling the blacksmith Borris that he would go home for lunch and come back in the afternoon, Ryan quickly left the blacksmith shop. After walking around the corner of the street, he immediately found an empty corner and looked at the panel carefully.
The original blacksmith apprentice panel had disappeared, and the blacksmith panel was displayed instead.
At the same time, the borders of the two new icons at the bottom of the panel lighted up slightly. It seemed that in terms of size, the icon of this core skill was almost twice as large as the ordinary skill icon.
Ryan first focused his attention on an icon that looked like Popeye showing off his biceps. There was a line of small words below the icon.
[Core Skill: Blacksmith's Strength lv1 (Active)]
Blacksmith's Strength lv1 (Active) Effect: After the skill is activated, your strength will be slightly increased.
(Note: The effect of this skill is increased by a certain proportion of the host's own strength, and the duration is proportional to the host's physique and mental strength.)
Ryan quickly fell into deep thought over the above content!
After being promoted to blacksmith, the two points of strength that Ryan gained again made his strength attribute surpass his highest spiritual attribute, becoming the highest in one leap.
You know, 9 points of strength has greatly surpassed that of an ordinary adult male, and even compared with the elite night watchmen under Hamilton, it is estimated to be slightly higher.
Feeling the sense of power surging through his body, Ryan was delighted.
Before being promoted, even if the professional level of a blacksmith apprentice or militiaman was promoted, one level would only give one free attribute point, but now, just by being promoted, Ryan has directly increased his strength by two points.
The increase is huge!
At the same time, Ryan was quite jealous of this active skill that can further enhance strength - the power of the blacksmith, and he especially wanted to try it right away, but there was nothing suitable around, and the second movement was too loud, which would attract unnecessary attention.
After a brief thought, Ryan walked home, not caring about buying things. He remembered that there were some scattered large stones on the roadside on the way home, which was just right for him to try his hand.
Soon, on the way home, Ryan looked around and soon found a piece of gravel that was nearly half a person's height not far from the roadside.
So, Ryan looked around again to confirm that there was no one, and then he walked forward eagerly.
"Lift!"
With 9 points of strength, Ryan could not move the heavy gravel that he had never been able to move before. Although it was very strenuous to lift it, Ryan was at least able to lift it steadily, half a meter off the ground.
However, if he wanted to go further and lift two or three hundred pounds of gravel over his head, 9 points of strength would still be a little short of it.
So Ryan focused his mind on the power of the blacksmith.
As the skill was released, suddenly, a warm current suddenly pumped out from his heart, causing Ryan's blood to accelerate, his veins to bulge, and the muscles on his arms and shoulders to bulge.
Ryan lifted the heavy gravel above his head and threw it four or five meters away.
After Ryan threw it out, he suddenly felt a sense of refreshment in his heart!
This is a powerful force that brings confidence and pleasure to a man!
At this time, Ryan glanced at the attribute panel again and saw Strength: 9 (+1.8). Obviously, the +1.8 in the brackets is the effect of this blacksmith's power, but the duration is not displayed.
Ryan stood quietly in place, feeling the changes in his body.
After about half a minute, Ryan felt the heat in his body gradually dissipating. It seems that the active skill of blacksmith's power can only last for about half a minute.
But this has made Ryan overjoyed. There is no doubt that the power of the blacksmith is a skill that can be used as a killer.
Looking at the sun setting in the west, Ryan thought to himself, "Oh no! I almost missed lunch time!"
So, without bothering to look at another core skill - hammer specialization, Ryan ran home quickly.
As soon as he entered the house, his mother came to greet him.
"Why are you going to the blacksmith shop again so late?" Seeing Ryan coming back sweating, his mother couldn't help but ask distressedly.
Ryan nodded, took the towel given by his mother, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Just as Ryan was still organizing his words and planning to tell his parents that he agreed to Hamilton to join the Night Watch, his father, who was always taciturn, suddenly said, "Ryan, come here."
Ryan was a little surprised, but still followed his father into the room.
The father took out an object wrapped in gray linen from the old bedside table. After slowly opening it, what caught Ryan's eyes were two slightly worn imperial gold coins and more than ten silver coins.
After hesitating for a moment, old Ryan picked up the only two imperial gold coins and handed them to Ryan.
"Ryan, recently you have been running to the blacksmith shop of the 'miser' Borris whenever you have time. But it's useless. Unless you can afford the apprenticeship fee, you can't impress that ruthless guy with your sincerity."
"Father, I..." Ryan was about to say something, but was interrupted by old Ryan waving his hand.
"Listen to me first. Your mother and I have discussed this. These two gold coins should be enough for you to learn one or two forging skills from Borris, and perhaps they will give you some advantages in the assessment of the manor blacksmith apprentice."
"The family will keep the remaining money to buy some white bread, meat and eggs for you and Mint. We can't give you any more. You are all growing up, and you need to keep up with your nutrition."
Looking at his father's face tanned by the sun, Ryan was silent for a while!
Firmly pushing away the gold coins handed over by his father, Ryan raised his head and said:
"Father, you and mother don't need to worry about my future problems anymore."
"I provided important clues to the missing children's case to the town's new sheriff, Lord Hamilton. Lord Hamilton promised me that after I complete my child servant training, I can join the Night's Watch."
After that, in the astonished eyes of old Ryan, Ryan also took out two brand new imperial gold coins from his arms and handed them over.
"Father, these two gold coins are a reward from Lord Hamilton. If you keep the money here, we can have better meals three times a day."
It was obvious that Ryan was not unwilling to give all the gold coins to his family, but if he gave too much, it would not be explained by providing clues.
"Bang!"
"Ryan, is this true?!"
The mother who stopped at the door and listened could no longer contain her surprise, and pushed open the door and walked in quickly.
"Of course, you see, if you and father really don't believe me, you can go to the town administration office and ask Lord Hamilton directly." Ryan shrugged with a smile on his face.
"Goddess of luck bless you!" The mother couldn't help crying with joy, praying non-stop and wiping away tears.
At lunch, old Ryan opened several bottles of rye beer in a rare luxury, and he also looked like he was going to drag Ryan to drink two glasses together, which made Anna and Mint look at each other in surprise.
Anna seemed to have sensed something, but she didn't dare to ask Ryan.
"Ryan, from now on, you are a man! Hiccup~ About you and Anna. Hiccup~ You decide for yourself, father supports you! Hiccup~"
"Father, this..."
Looking at his drunk father, Ryan was embarrassed, and he and Anna looked at each other quickly, and then they quickly looked away.
The next second, Anna lowered her head like a frightened little rabbit, and a blush appeared on her fair face.
