Overall it would mean that he would have to isolate the different parts of his fighting style finding training regimes that would work them Being without the notifications would hopefully focus him more on improving his results
But that would mean that I
Actually Lyra interrupted her normal smug smile returning and Randidly felt a glimmer of the old frustration with her You’ve had Daniel and Mrs Hamilton working on trying to find ways to improve the base skills for the squad members they have some ideas but need someone to test it out before they implement it across the board Scale up the difficulty and you will have a Doggy portion of exercise
After a long moment Randidly smiled in spite of himself Especially after his furious display the previous day he realized how valuable it was that this girl whatever they were to each other just treated him like a person rather than some protective deity Dealing with her it felt as though some of the tension that he now carried with him everywhere was finally dispersing
So I’m a glorified guinea pig Randidly said wryly Lyra rolled her eyes but nodded
If it blocked ALL notifications there was some danger that it would prevent him from realizing that another Judgement was coming but Randidly believed and hoped that it would take some time for that to happen He would also miss out on getting a jump on new path availabilities but as he wouldn’t be spending PP because it would be better not to check the skill growth he could wait until after
Randidly decided that if he was going to do it it was better to do it all the way no notifications for a week to start Hopefully that would give him time to lose some of his bad habits and give him some indications of the effectiveness of the strategy
After all even if it didn’t work he would have only wasted a week And in terms of possible notifications that he would miss honestly what is the worst that could happen
Nodding Randidly held out his hand Alright coach count me in
Coach Kukuku call me Mistress Lyra if you please By the end you will be begging for my mercy
Randidly just winced
Devan casually discussed some of the new training changes with his squad going over the parts that he believed were most important for their improvement and then indicating specific areas of focus for each squad member They studiously marked down what he was saying and then looked up as he stopped speaking
Devan frowned trying to follow a figure through the crowd his eyes tracking after very distinctive ears
What is it One of his squad members asked
Shaking his head Devan said I think we brought a furry back with us from Franksburg I swear I just saw a bunny walking around
Chapter 109
Razor Fleetfoot hopped to and fro feeling quite timid and overwhelmed The elders had tasked him one of their brightest young warriors with a very specific and possibly dangerous mission He had followed their instructions but to his surprise nothing of what he found was what he was told to expect
Everyone here just seemed to be rushing around in every which direction Seeing a friendly looking female Razor hopped over to her
Excuse me
The female looked him up and down sighed and then looked down at her clipboard Are you still looking for housing
Um no I
Well then I can’t help you The clipboard returned to her side and she walked away calling for any people from Franksburg in need of housing
Razor tried the same thing with 3 more people and every time he was given a conflicting answer He simply wanted to find someone in charge of this village
First he was told to find the scary looking woman with her hair up in a bun but this was rather useless advice because Razor didn’t rightly know what having hair up in a bun meant So that was disregarded
Second he was told to find a Classer who would point him in the right direction Razor assumed a Classer was someone with a class but he had no idea how to tell whether people had classes Did this village have a way to see that
He filed that information away for later
The third advice was pointing him towards a low squat building from which a lot of banging and screeching was emanating Razor’s sensitive ears were already twitching but he had a mission So he steadied his resolve and walked towards the strange building trying his best to ignore the horrible noise
As the light of dawn filtered through the window Sam smashed downwards with his hammer finishing the iron breastplate As he did so some of the light in the air seemed to stiffen and congeal then settle onto the armor For a second it glowed but then it faded leaving nothing but the dull sheen of metal
Annoyed at his new sleeping habits but somewhat mollified by the fact that his need for sleep was drastically decreased Sam examined the armor
Quality Iron Breastplate Lvl 25 End +3 Resistance +2 Health +30 Possesses the attribute Dawn Touched I
Dawn Touched I Wearer has regeneration increased by 10 per hour for Health and 1 per minute for Stamina
Sam’s face simply twitched stuck somewhere between a smile and a frown Sure the extra attribute was useful And if he could manage to mass produce this giving almost everyone an extra 3 End 2 Resist and 30 Health the strength of the average squad member would rise
It was simply made with common ingredients as well which meant that it was certainly possible to mass produce The problem was that the results from most of the other smiths would have only 2 End No Resist and 20 Health His class conferred on him some definite advantages so it was irksome that he therefore wanted to make every piece of armor
There simply wasn’t enough time Especially because he wanted to focus on Bone Shaping or his other new skill
Extremely carefully Sam removed a Needle covered in runes that they had purchased with quite a bit of SP and a book from their newly acquired library In it were the basics of engraving
Still moving with the utmost cautious Sam produced a small hammer and began to etch a rune onto the breastplate Not only did the shape of the rune have to match almost exactly but he had to insert mana into the needle letting it flow into the lines he was carving The amount wasn’t even but was based on how straight the line was The straight portions required very little mana to sustain
A small curve would require addition mana adding depth to the rune
A abrupt twist was like a deep well of mana as Sam sweated bullets pushing more and more mana into the line
The needle needed to remain near the breastplate constantly because it was sewing the mana into the correct shape and the connection could not be broken or it would all go to waste So Sam’s hammer hand intermittently needed to set down the hammer and raise a mana potion to his lips
Even the small breaks weakened the connection lowering the quality of the engraved rune but Sam simply had no choice he didn’t have a large enough mana pool to do an entire rune yet
Luckily he finished without a hitch and leaned back From the book Sam was able to purchase he had only learned 3 runes which translated roughly as Bear Fish and Dragonfly Sam’s current attempt was on a Bear rune which he now examined
Engraving of Bear 19% When struck this armor will have a small chance of resisting stunning and knockback effects
Sam spat in the corner his mood sour Especially after he clicked on the P After all he had never seen the rarity P It turned out it stood for poor
He had just taken a quality breastplate and practically scratched the word poor onto it
Adding to his foul mood there was a knock at the door
What Sam spat
One of his assistants poked his head through the door Someone is here to see you
Oh Mrs Northwind Sam said his expression brightening They had taken to having a morning walk every day or at least they had before this most recent trouble in the village So perhaps she wanted to start that tradition up again
