Chapter 401: Chapter 373: Passing on the Hidden Profession: Minstrel
Although Da Fei originally planned to go to the Black Forest to clear the area after killing the giant crocodile, the mercury steam explosion in the Black Forest is now happening, so the current priority is still to clear the battlefield and collect the spoils of victory.
The body of the giant crocodile, especially the crocodile skin, definitely has a huge recycling value. We cannot let those scavengers grab it, so the elder prioritized arranging personnel to guard the giant crocodile. Then he sent Bilbo with people to take over the giant lizard’s lair.
Bilbo reluctantly let go of the Crossbow Cannon: "Lord City Lord, you must give me this cannon!"
Da Fei laughed heartily: "You go ahead, I’ll dismantle the Crossbow Cannon and pack it up to send to you later. I can also give you a Skill Book to study at your leisure!"
"Thank you so much, my Lord!" Bilbo cheered and left.
Compared to Hobbits, whose Attack is weak and cannot break through the thick-skinned Water Monsters, they indeed need a War Machine to enhance their firepower. I don’t know when I’ll be able to come back here next time, so whether it’s giving away snake eggs or a Crossbow Cannon, it’s a necessary strategic investment to help them open up a development scenario.
At this time, the elder spoke with anticipation: "Lord City Lord, rest assured, once we take over these two lairs, we will build fences and earth walls around them, and also build relay bases and a warehouse dock on this island occupied by the giant crocodile, and then build even bigger rafts..." freeweɓnøvel~com
Listening to this, Da Fei’s brow kept twitching, ’Oh my god, that’s all my Mercury Wood! Easy on the usage!’ But rafts, really? Can’t you aim higher, like shipbuilding?
Da Fei had to laugh and say: "If I come next time, I’ll try to bring some Shipbuilding Masters for you!"
The elder was overjoyed: "That would be great, if we have boats, our transportation efficiency can increase by more than two or three times!"
Hmm, now that our relationship is so solid, it’s time for a bit of give and take! I don’t believe it, this final race and final profession wouldn’t teach the player some Hidden Profession!
Da Fei said with a smile: "Elder, I’m very interested in your profession. Could you teach me?"
The elder smiled and nodded: "Not bad, my Lord. You have good ideas, learn cooking from me!"
Da Fei quickly shook his head: "I meant the Minstrel profession!"
The elder was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "That kind of profession that mixes in taverns and performs tricks isn’t very prestigious. Moreover, there are many more specialized singers than me. Why would Lord City Lord want to learn from me?"
So he can teach me after all! But plenty are nothing! You’re talking about 1000 years ago, nowadays this profession is already extinct on the surface world! But, of course, I won’t tell you that this profession has been extinct!
Da Fei solemnly said: "During this battle, I deeply felt that the elder’s flute contains that sort of, robust and powerful, um, practical, overall indescribable shock, just like the Beastman war cries and war drums full of battle force and utility. At this moment, I realized how powerless and superficial the notes of those worldly singers are. In short, I very much want to learn, can the elder teach me some secrets?"
The elder’s brow twitched, "Is that how Lord City Lord evaluates my flute sound?"
Da Fei held up a thumb: "Absolutely refreshing, the key is its practicality in battle! I have an Elf Baron under my command who played the piano on the sea for a few days, other than throwing a dance party he was useless, not as effective as someone with a loud trumpet!" Vice President, sorry about this!
The elder’s brow trembled, and he said excitedly: "Finally, someone who understands me. At that time, I always felt that the Minstrel’s battle scores were too flashy. In the scores, only a few notes really had killing power, the rest were just worthless notes for catching breath, but I was ostracized by my peers. After coming here, living conditions became harsh and undesirable for Hobbits. Battle scores are like playing music to cows for these swamp monsters, so I diligently modified the scores, specifically extracting those deadly notes into a seemingly simple but actually very difficult coherent battle score. Although monotonous and harsh, it indeed helped Hobbits gain a foothold in the swamp!"
I knew it, you old noise maker! Da Fei quickly applauded: "Elder, you’re too modest! In the ears of us warriors, your flute sound is indeed the most inspiring and heart-stirring. Please don’t hesitate to teach me, I will prove those who laughed at the elder before were all wrong!"
The elder laughed heartily: "Since Lord City Lord says so, I no longer need to hide my skills!" Then frowned and said: "However, the profession of Minstrel still depends on the racial and personal talents. There are several low-frequency tunes that our Hobbits and Elves can play, but most humans can’t play and perceive them. Even if Lord, being a human, learns it, you might just remain a Basic-level forever and cannot advance further!"
As long as I can learn! How many cross-racial professions have I learned? One more profession, a few more attribute points, why not! Da Fei hurriedly said: "No problem, I also have a Deputy Officer, who sings holy songs very well, widely recognized as talented, she can also learn, let her success prove the elder’s theory is correct!"
The elder laughed heartily: "If that’s the case, I have nothing more to say. Next time Lord can bring her to see me, I will personally teach her!"
—System Prompt: You have obtained the "Minstrel Poem Score," which costs 1 Skill Point to use this item, and you will obtain the Hidden Joint Profession "Basic-level Minstrel," with the Professional Skill "Concerto."
—Basic-level Minstrel: Increases the troop’s Stamina recovery speed by +10%, Morale by +1, and adds a free attribute point for every 5 Hero Level increases.
—Concerto: Minstrel can enhance the skill effects of singing and playing troop types by 20%. The effect of Concerto increases with the Minstrel’s level.
.......
Haha! The effect of this profession is really like a cultural troupe, huh? Plus, the attribute point bonus adding 1 point every 5 levels is really weak! But this Concerto skill is indeed pretty quirky, meaning the Minstrel can only lead musical troops, like these Hobbits who can all play the flute?
How many troop types in this game are musical troops? In an instant, Da Fei thought of Mermaids! Sea Demons!
"Damn, my Divine Artifact, the Sea Soul Staff, can summon Sea Demons, and I also have special soldier training. Can I train musical Sea Demons?"
While Da Fei was letting his thoughts wander, the elder spoke again: "However, Lord City Lord, the score recorded in this book is quite special, there are no basic-level scores suitable for you, all the scores are at least Master Level to perform, so if you want to use basic-level scores, you may ask other minstrels."
Da Fei was stunned: "Why are there no basic-level scores?"
The elder chuckled and said: "Not applicable, I forgot about them, it’s been 1000 years!"
Da Fei was dumbfounded! Where would I find other minstrels? Is the system purposely teasing me? Right, does Little Coltner count? Anyway, when I go back, he’s the only one I can look for.
The elder continued: "Lord City Lord, please also note a few points, for a minstrel, the instrument is the weapon, the score equates to magic. Although the basic-level scores are extremely weak against strong opponents, the higher your Magic Power and the better your instrument, the stronger the power of the scores. Music is different from magic; it cannot be reduced by Magic Resistance, which is the strength of a minstrel. But your strength alone is not enough, you need to form your own band troop type, unlike other troop types, you need to spend time training them to learn your scores, which will greatly increase your fighting power! Also, there’s a ’Song Chanting Technique’ skill, which is akin to combat skills like Weapon Master that enhances singing and various instrument effects."
Da Fei kept nodding, it seems, the minstrel profession really suits Mages. It really needs to cultivate musical troops, but if such elaborate troops die, wouldn’t that make one spit blood?
But luckily, this ’Song Chanting Technique’, I just got it from Coltner and taught it to Selvia. They are all sorts of irritating singing mastery, piano mastery, recorder mastery sub-skills—wait, Weapon Master? I’ve never heard of this skill before?
Da Fei confusedly asked: "Weapon Master? What kind of skill is that?"
The elder was also astonished: "Of course, it’s a skill that enhances the effects of various weapons for troops. For example, if you, Lord City Lord, are a gunner and learned Long Weapon Mastery from Weapon Master, your gunners would be more formidable. It’s such a famous skill!"
Could it be a hidden skill? Da Fei blankly said: "I’ve never heard of it!"
The elder was equally shocked: "No way? Has the lineage of Weapon Master been interrupted? Could it be due to the Eclipse Battle?"
Da Fei asked: "Was it very famous during your era?" Let me put it frankly, your minstrels are almost extinct too! But since an NPC mentioned it, it means this hidden skill must exist somewhere in the world, waiting for players to discover.
The elder shook his head and sighed: "Truly, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. The great warriors that mastered this skill were so feared by demons; they probably got targeted first and were annihilated by them, sigh..."
—System Prompt: You have gained information about the hidden skill ’Weapon Master’!
Look at that! A system prompt appeared, what a relief! I should focus on making my Stealth Master skill official instead, not sticking my head out.
During the casual chat, Da Fei finished disassembling his Crossbow Cannon, and handed the packed Crossbow Cannon, ammunition, and War Machine Study Skill Book to the elder: "A gift for Little Bilbo, wishing him to become a great warrior who can revive the Habbit Tribe!"
The elder hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Lord City Lord! Now that another day has passed and things here are arranged, shall we go take a look at Black Forest?"
Da Fei cheerfully said: "The elder is really eager for battle! Good! I’ll go clear the area!"
...
Da Fei and the elder took a raft back to the spatial passage, where Tai Da was urging the logging team to get ready to move out.
Seeing Da Fei appear, Tai Da hurried forward and said: "Lord, just waiting for you to clear the area!"
Haha! Subordinates with such enthusiasm, truly a blessing for this City Lord! Da Fei laughed heartily as he passed through the space passage to the Black Forest, only to find the entire forest eerily quiet!
Da Fei was startled and checked the radar, no red dots at all! Eh? Where are the crows? Da Fei then instructed Little Fei to circle the area and not a single crow was found! Damn, isn’t this too strange?
Da Fei had to ask, "Elder, what do you think?"
The elder stroked his beard and pondered for a while: "Perhaps, the loss of the clone yesterday made the Crow Demigod more cautious, so as soon as the mercury steam passed, it was possible to retrieve all its clones, not giving us a chance to strike. However, when the mercury steam comes again, it should continue to multiply its clones. Although constantly multiplying is troublesome, it’s better than being hunted. This indicates that the Crow Demigod is still in the stage of gathering strength and probably won’t waste it lightly. We won’t be threatened by it for now!"
It seems that’s the only explanation. Mercury Lake, indeed, isn’t something that can be developed shortly, so let’s develop what’s before us.
Da Fei then said: "That’s just fine, let’s hurry up with logging and managing. Now that things here have somewhat concluded, I need to set off immediately to scout the next space by myself, Mr. Tai Da, I’m leaving all the troops to you, make sure to wait for my return!"
Tai Da: "Rest assured, my Lord, you must take care!"
The elder also said: "Then please come to the village, sir, we will prepare the best meal to send you off!" (To be continued.
