"Yes!"
Richard froze in place, his mind racing.
"Is this the legendary golden finger? I just don't know what type it is."
[Absorption successful, a total of 131 points of energy absorbed]
This time, along with the text, a translucent frame appeared in front of Richard, which read:
[Name]: Richard Clavell
[Attributes]: Strength 1.9, Agility 2.3, Constitution 2.1, Spirit 3.6
[Skills]: Clavell Breathing (rough 53%), Cornell Swordsmanship (rough 62%), Crossbow (rough 32%)
[Energy Points]: 131
"Master, Master?" Selena saw Richard standing there motionless and asked with concern.
The maid's cry interrupted Richard's thoughts. He was originally planning to study the usage of the system, but it was obviously not suitable in the current environment.
Richard, feeling uneasy, immediately returned to his room on the second floor of the castle after dinner, and called the maid Selina to sort out all the books about monsters in the castle and send them to him.
He himself studied the usage of the system.
Richard first tried to add points to his own attributes, concentrating his mind on the words "Strength 1.9". After a while, there was no response, so he tried "Agility 2.3". After waiting for a while, there was still no response.
It seems that these energy points cannot be used to increase attributes.
So, Richard tried to add points to the skill that showed the highest level: Cornell Swordsmanship (roughly 62%), concentrating his mind on the word "swordsmanship" and silently thinking about adding points.
After a long time, there was no movement. Richard was a little discouraged. He tried the breathing method again and concentrated his mind on the skill: Clavier Breathing Method (rough 53%). After a while, it didn't work!
Suddenly, Richard felt discouraged!
The sudden appearance of such a monster made him realize that this world was not that simple.
The question is, besides monsters, are there any other dangers in this world? Everything is still unknown, which makes Richard feel a sense of urgency.
Maybe life is just like this, full of surprises.
"Knock knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.
"Master, I've brought you the book."
It turned out that Selena had sent over seven or eight thick books. The cover of each book was very exquisite, inlaid with iron decorations, and there were even two books inlaid with green jade and enamel decorations.
Richard immediately picked up a copy of "Vogre's Travels", opened it and started reading. The text in the book was all handwritten, and the writing was very beautiful and neat.
Richard flipped through the book quickly, reading ten lines at a glance. It recorded the experiences of a famous wandering poet, Vogel, during his travels around the three northern kingdoms. The book mentioned stories related to monsters seven times.
"Feig and I walked into a silent forest. I don't know when a thin mist started to rise nearby.
I found that a vine suddenly appeared in front of me and quietly entangled Feige's ankle. The vine pulled and made him stumble and fall to the ground.
The other vines instantly wrapped around his waist and neck and strangled him tightly. Feige's face suddenly turned red due to suffocation.
I immediately drew out my long sword to help chop. I knew we were in big trouble."
Turning a few pages, there is another description:
"I traveled with the caravan through Stephen Wasteland and had no problems.
But on the third day, we were attacked by a strange creature. It had a lion's body and a griffin's head, wings, and could dodge flexibly in the air. It was extremely powerful, and arrows shot at it only left some white marks.
Fortunately, the caravan was equipped with a heavy crossbow, which shot through its wings and scared it away, otherwise the entire caravan might have been killed."
The more Richard looked, the more frightened he became. This world was simply full of crises. Fortunately, the civilians here were basically illiterate, with a very low literacy rate. The papermaking and printing technologies in this world were also relatively backward, and the dissemination of knowledge and information was mainly carried out among the upper class.
Therefore, as long as the civilians do not run around and live in one place for a long time, the news they hear about monsters will be very limited, so it will not cause panic among the people, which effectively maintains the rule of the nobles.
He opened another book inlaid with enamel decorations. The writing inside was even more exaggerated, making Richard feel like he had traveled into a magical world.
The book contained the following description:
"In Rosby City in the Kingdom of Heron, the youngest daughter of Viscount Chels was much loved, but unfortunately she died of dystocia not long after marrying the eldest son of the city lord.
But since then, strange things have happened in the city lord's house. In the middle of the night
, a mercenary with two swords took the initiative to accept the task.
One night, the mercenary's hand was flaming and he fought with the ghost with a silver sword.
"Holding a silver sword is easy to understand, but hands emitting flames? What is that, witchcraft?" Richard was silent for a while. Having practiced the family's knightly law with his father and brother since he was a child, he knew very well that even his father, a formal knight, could not make his hands emit flames.
There is no such thing as fighting spirit among the knights in this world. Practicing the knight's breathing method will only make people stronger, more powerful, more agile, and their thinking will become clearer.
That's all.
After flipping through four or five books in a row, Richard was able to find long passages describing plots related to monsters or strange things.
Richard rubbed his temple. Now, combined with the corpses of monsters he saw at the city gate, he could be sure that this world was definitely not the world similar to medieval Europe that he had previously believed.
It seems that his dream of being a rich young master and living a comfortable life is about to go down the drain.
In this world, even if a noble wants to live a stable life for a few decades, he still needs some luck.
First of all, you have to stop running around, and secondly, the monsters don't actively look for you.
But even if he could do it without running around, the monsters would come to him, just like this time, the monsters invaded his own territory, should he just ignore it?
No, absolutely not, he must think of some way to at least let him be able to protect himself.
Although he now has a system, and assumes that the system can improve his skills in some way, can he deal with strange monsters with the skills he has mastered?
He himself has no confidence in this, and the seriously injured guard captain Baras is the best example.
A strong person among ordinary people is still an ordinary person.
Fortunately, in this world, well-trained ordinary people can deal with some monsters under the leadership of a strong person. For example, his baron father led a group of soldiers to kill a monster this time.
Just as Richard was concentrating on thinking, a shrill scream came from outside the window, instantly breaking the tranquility of the castle at night.
