This was a very handsome young man. In fact, there were not many professionals who were particularly unattractive. Of course, Necromancers might be an exception, but Necromancers were extremely charming.
In fact, in the early stages of the game, many people confused Necromancers and Necromancers. Although the names of these two professions were similar and their fighting styles were similar, there was still a big difference in their core.
Necromancers were pure spellcasters. They had to learn magic to summon undead creatures. Their main attribute was intelligence, and their characteristic was the terrifying army of undead creatures that would overwhelm the enemy.
Necromancers, on the other hand, were natural spellcasters. They did not need to learn magic specifically. When they reached a certain level, they would awaken magic abilities on their own. Their main attribute was Charm. Their characteristic was that there were not many undead creatures, but they were very elite. Moreover, the more handsome or beautiful a Necromancer was, the more powerful they were.
Generally speaking, most professions would gradually increase their Charm attribute as their level increased. Although the degree of increase was far less than that of professions that focused on Charm, it was still quite obvious.
Therefore, sometimes, it was completely possible to judge whether a profession was powerful by looking at their face. Of course, there would be some small deviations, but it was the simplest way to judge the enemy's strength.
The young man in front of him had a heroic face and a domineering temperament. According to the average NPC warrior profession's Charm growth attribute of 3-5, to reach this level, this young man would have to be around level 8. However, Liang Lidong had the system's ability to cheat. After a glance, he found that this young man was only a level 5 profession.
For a level 5 warrior profession to have such an obvious temperament, it must have a high Charm growth!
A Charm Warrior?
This was Liang Lidong's first reaction.
The so-called Charm Warrior was under the condition that he had enough Constitution growth, which was around 8 points. Then, he would put the other growth points into the Charm attribute.
Such a Warrior could only be regarded as above average in terms of close combat ability. However, high Charm would bring them a great advantage, which was that it was easy to learn group specialties such as Inspire and Raise Morale. Then, they could trigger the hidden professions "Commander" and "Battlefield Standard-Bearer."
These two classes were specialized abilities. They weren't strong in a one-on-one fight and could barely protect themselves. However, if they were to lead a small party or lead an army, they would be extremely powerful.
Liang Lidong could tell that the young man in front of him was still a pure Warrior. However, at LV5, he would soon be able to change to a special Warrior sub-class.
After thinking for a while. Liang Lidong felt that there was no need to directly clash with a hothead, so he replied, "The woman behind you is an assassin. I'm just hunting her."
The righteous-looking young man turned around and saw Kati's pitiful expression. His sense of justice swelled as he turned back and said, "She's just a weak woman. You're a Spell Caster, sir. You can find any woman you want. As long as you beckon, I think there will be many women willing to become your wife. However, there are very few women like her who are unwilling to submit to power and have their own opinions. I hope you can be merciful. "
When Liang Lidong heard this, he smiled. "Hmm, that makes sense. If the woman behind you wasn't a beauty but a brawny man with a fierce face, would you still be so insistent on saving her? "
"Yes!" The young man said without hesitation. "A person's good and evil has nothing to do with appearance. As long as he's a law-abiding citizen, the city guards are obliged to protect him."
Liang Lidong looked into the other party's eyes … in the young man's eyes. There was no hesitation or hypocrisy. A person with such eyes was either a great traitor or a great benevolent person. In the game, Liang Lidong had only seen two NPCs with such eyes.
One was an old ascetic believer of the Church of Life. He had no wife, children, or money. The only place he could stay was a thatched hut that was less than four square meters. However, he spent his life treating the nearby villagers for free and solving their problems. On the day he died, the Life Goddess personally descended for half a minute and welcomed him into the divine realm.
The other was a general of a medium-sized country. He fought for his country all his life, never complaining or striving for glory. No matter how exaggerated or difficult the military mission was, he would find a way to complete it. He was the idol of everyone in the country. However, three months after he was appointed as the Grand Protector by the king, he cut off the king's head with a single stroke of his sword, stole the queen as his lover, and sat on the throne himself.
Liang Lidong had received many elite quests from him. When he learned that he had usurped the throne, Liang Lidong was so surprised that he couldn't speak for days.
Whether this young man was a great traitor or a great benevolent person, Liang Lidong wasn't sure, but he knew one thing: this young man would definitely be extraordinary in the future, no matter what kind of person he was.
The young man in front of him didn't have a high level. It would be easy for Liang Lidong to kill him, but what if the other party was a good person? He thought about it and smiled. "Okay, I'll do you a favor this time. The woman behind you, you're lucky this time."
With that, he teleported directly back to the capital.
Seeing that the residual spatial magic ripples had completely disappeared, the young man was relieved. He could naturally feel how strong the bright blonde spellcaster was. She was definitely at the level of a Master. He had thought that there would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect the other party to be so easy to talk to.
"Lady, are you alright … ah …"
The young man turned around and then found that the woman behind him had disappeared at some point. The burning wall of fire had also extinguished. He sighed as if he had lost something, put away his weapons, and walked back.
Liang Lidong teleported back to the inn. He sat down and waited for Joan Of Arc's news. On the surface, it seemed that he had given up on pursuing the female assassin, but in fact, Joan Of Arc had been monitoring the other party's every move from high up in the sky.
The sun soon set, and it didn't take long for Alice and Kail to return. Alice's face was glowing, but Kail looked tired as if he hadn't slept for a few days. There were more than a dozen cloth bags hanging on his body, all of which were things that Alice had bought.
Kail didn't have a portable space like Liang Lidong, so shopping with a woman was naturally a chore.
The three of them had some dinner, and soon Joan Of Arc sent a message.
Liang Lidong asked his group to have a good rest, and then he walked into the alley according to Joan Of Arc's instructions. He then walked in it for more than ten minutes, turning left and right, and finally stopped in front of a mud-brick hut.
The hut didn't even have a door, and there was only a tattered straw curtain hanging at the door to block the wind.
Occasionally, there was a cough coming from inside. Liang Lidong carefully pushed the straw curtain aside and walked in. Then, in the dim environment, he saw an old woman pretending to sleep on the bed. The coughing was coming from her. Her voice sounded very weak, which was a sign that she had been ill for a long time.
Liang Lidong had True Sight, and he could see things in any environment. After looking around the shabby and pitiful little house, he gently flicked an illumination spell.
Like a white LED light, the small room lit up. The old woman was startled by the sudden light. She opened her eyes and then closed them tightly. For people who had been used to the dark, such light was very hard to see.
She covered her eyes with one hand and asked nervously, "Who are you?"
"I'm here to treat you," Liang Lidong said gently.
Under the effect of the noble temperament, Liang Lidong's gentle voice was very persuasive and friendly. The old woman soon calmed down. She gradually got used to the light. She moved her hand away and saw Liang Lidong's face.
Liang Lidong's Charm had reached 10.5, and he looked very handsome. More importantly, Liang Lidong's smile was very gentle. The old woman hit him up and down for a while, and then she couldn't stop smiling. "You're Katie's friend. Well, not bad. Katie has good taste. No wonder."
From her words, Liang Lidong heard a lot of information. He learned that the woman's name was probably Katie.
The woman in front of him, although her clothes looked old, was clean and energetic. Her skin was sallow, though. Based on his own experience, Liang Lidong guessed that the woman must've been malnourished for a long time.
Generally speaking, the main reason for malnutrition was that they didn't eat enough, followed by more serious gastrointestinal problems.
Liang Lidong made himself a translucent blue magic chair with magic tricks and sat down. Then he said with a smile, "Let's talk before Katie comes back, old lady."
"Okay." The old woman half sat up and smiled happily. "It's been a long time since anyone was willing to talk to me. Katie runs around every day to make money to support me. It's very hard. Let me tell you, Katie is a rare good girl …"
The lonelier a person was, the more they wanted to talk. The old woman kept talking, and she focused on Katie, which gave Liang Lidong a lot of information about Katie.
About half an hour later, the old woman's voice was hoarse. Liang Lidong took out an apple and a knife from his Backpack and said as he peeled it, "You'll get thirsty if you talk too much. Let me peel a fruit for you."
"Okay, thank you."
The old woman looked at Liang Lidong peeling the fruit with a smile, as if she were looking at her son-in-law.
Before the fruit was half peeled, rapid footsteps came from outside the door. The straw curtain was lifted, and Katie, with braids on her side, appeared at the door.
She looked at Liang Lidong in surprise with disbelief and desperation in her eyes. Her body was trembling slightly.
"Why … Why are you here?"
Liang Lidong smiled at her and said, "I'm here to talk to the old lady."
However, the more peaceful and gentle his smile was, the scarier it was for Katie, which meant that the guy was confident of victory.
"Ah, Katie is back." The old woman was delighted to see her daughter. "Why are you in such a hurry? Take a rest and then treat this gentleman well."
Liang Lidong smiled. "You can call me Beta."
Then, he gave the peeled apple to the old woman.
