I tensed up and waited... The time passed very long and tediously, but no one appeared because of the grass. What are the oddities? There is a tramp, the rustle of grass does not stop, where is the boar? Check what's there, or stay and wait? Okay, I'll just stay here for a minute and go check.A minute later no one showed up, so I decided to go check. I moved as carefully as possible, as there was definitely someone ahead. Already approaching the thickets of grass, I intercepted the spear more comfortably and carefully looked behind them.Now everything became clear to me. In the place where I looked, a wild boar was trampling. It was about the size of a healthy boar, but not up to a billhook. I stood silently and watched him, not knowing what to do. While I was looking at him, the nickel finished his excavations and raised his muzzle. I did not have time to react and hide, thanks to which he noticed me. We looked at each other for five seconds, and then I realized that things were ta
One finished, give me the next!I stood in a fighting stance and was ready to take any blow, but nothing happened. Regroup? Quite similar to that. Or they think that I am stronger than they are, and therefore are not ready to engage in an open duel with me. Both options do not suit me!If they start to surround me, then I will be at a very disadvantageous position. And if they are going to leave, they will bring help here and, quite possibly, start combing the forest in search of me. We urgently need to come up with something!Elaine, any ideas? “Now her advice will come in handy more than ever.- Pasha, that elf you killed, he doesn't look like a scout. These are hunters. Most likely, they went out for food and accidentally stumbled upon you! A group of hunters usually moves in the composition of three elves, one is definitely a corpse. The second one is either dead or injured, but he definitely won’t be able to fight, you need to try to catch up with them and finish them off! Elaine
I've heard that growl before, but it didn't sound as loud and drawn out. Apparently, now the monster is much closer than before. I hope it's not some local guard hunting me specifically! If this is true, then I will have to leave this place, and I really do not want to change my place of deployment again.Elaine, do you know anything about this? I pointed in the direction the sound came from.- No, unfortunately I do not know. But here even the fool understands that it is better not to approach him.In this she is absolutely right, but I planned to go hunting in a couple of hours to pump my level. If I don’t want to stumble upon THIS, then I should definitely take a lot to the right to the east and start implementing my plans from there. But I'm definitely not going to do it now.In the end, I decided to take an inventory of all the loot from the carcass of an elf and only after that move forward. Still, there is a possibility that the monster will leave during this time.Taking out t
- What you choose? The figure in the hoodie came close to me.“I… I want to pass the final test!” “I made just such a choice… Because I’m not sure that he will be able to fulfill ANY of my desires.” It all looks too sweet... But I'll get the skill for sure.A deathly silence hung in the temple, and after that, a fire was lit in the hands of the fifth statue. So it was still a test? I turned out to be right!— Mortal! You have proven yourself worthy of our knowledge! Get your head down!I bowed my head obediently, and the entity touched me with its hand. After his touch, warmth began to spread through my body and I saw the cherished inscription.Congratulations!Obtained the active skill of the ancients - Subjugation of the Essence.Skill Description:Having passed the test, you deserve to wield the power of submission! You will no longer be affected by Mind Mastery skills below god level. You also gain the ability to subdue the body of any sentient creature whose level is ten or more
- I know."Okay, can you show me?" They did a very bad thing and I would like to deal with them.- See-o-o-o-o-o.Just perfect! I went out to hunt, and in the end I got the opportunity to find out the location of the elves' camp! And I already thought that I would be stuck here for a very long time! After all, I would have to look for them on my own, and the forest is just huge! Especially considering that you need to do it as carefully as possible ... My trip would definitely stretch out for a couple of months. But luck seems to be on my side.We decided to move out immediately after I put a bandage on the older bear as well, since he was also injured, and this severely hampered his movements. Also, I did not forget to leave food for them, taking out about ten kilograms of meat from my ring. I have many more, and it will help them.Having finished with all the cases, we moved forward. Misha led me deep into the forest. Along the way, we ran into other clubfoot a couple of times, but
Did you swallow your tongue? he asked again.- Not."Then why are you silent?"If I tell you, you still won't believe it.“Don't worry if you try to deceive me… Well, I'll understand that. After that, he pointedly took out a dagger from behind his back.Apparently, he is not joking ... And here again I am in the clutches of some adventurers, and again questions."First, I'd like to know who you are," I said insistently.- And you are brave! I like people like you. You like to insist on your own! Out of respect for your zeal, I will say. We are the New Expanses Guild, and I'm in charge here.Didn't I hear?! If I'm not mistaken, it's definitely them! That's what the doctor was talking about. It is very strange that he gave me this information so easily. Apparently, he is still deciding what to do with me ... And if I do not live up to his expectations, then most likely I will die, so he shares information. So, you need to try to get as much out of it as possible. And try not to die."No
- Two hours? Fuck off… I'm sorry, I had a bad dream. Why couldn't you get into my room?- All rooms are sealed from the inside with magic, they open only during an emergency and only with the permission of the head. These are our security measures. You can only knock it out with magic, but if you do that, everyone inside will probably die.“But what if there is a traitor inside?”“I’m telling you, everyone inside will die. I distinctly noticed a sly smile on her face, even though it was hidden under a mask.- Harsh...“By the way, before I forget, get ready and come to the pantry, we will give you a uniform.”— Uniform?“Yes, or do you want to walk around in these rags?” You can leave it, but ours also gives bonuses, and it looks better. And you have to wear a mask, sorry. We remove it only in front of friends or in front of an enemy who is already dead."Okay, I'll be there in a couple of minutes."- Deal! Astria chirped cheerfully and left.Wow… I stretched and sat on the bed. The d
- Let's move out!Everyone began to enter one after another into the portal to cheers. I thought they were more relaxed about work, but they seem to be crazy about adventure. Just like me, heh. So, something I again began to feel sympathy for them, you can’t afford this!After entering the portal for everyone, I found myself on a plain.“The dungeon will be here in a minute, take position and wait!” If you see movement, report to me immediately! - after her words, everyone literally “evaporated”. Where have you gone?!“Sol, why are you standing up like a stone?” Blake picked me up and we ended up somewhere in the bushes.I was a little taken aback by this antics, but kept silent. We watched the district and, together with everyone, waited for the appearance of the dungeon. Literally a couple of minutes later, a portal appeared in the clearing. Just a portal, it was similar to the one through which we got here. This is the third kind of dungeon I've seen. We waited for a go-ahead from
