The next day, early morning.
Central Earth Calendar, November 6th.
This is Minori's ninth day entering this Despair Valley, and the second day since arriving at the oasis where humans reside.
Crack!
Minori pushed open the wooden door, and a wave of scorching heat rushed in with the outside air.
Gurgle~
A five-meter-wide pool of water came into view first, with water bubbling on the surface, and vegetation all around shading the sun.
Some of these plants' slender branches and leaves still had dewdrops on them.
Adding a touch of coolness to the hot air.
Such a sight in the Despair Valley, which is full of yellow sand and dryness, is somewhat incredible.
Minori took a breath, feeling the rare moisture in the air, and a relaxed look appeared on his face:
"Yesterday's actions of slaughtering the Gray Dwarves were a bit impulsive, but in this area, there's no need to worry about being noticed."
If a situation like yesterday's were to happen in the Northwest Continent where humans reside, it would likely attract the attention of some forces.
Minori walked forward, squatted down, scooped up a handful of water from the source with both hands, took a sip, and then wiped the water stains from his mouth.
The water temperature was cool, but the taste was not sweet.
Instead, it had a slight bitterness, but in this desert area, having a water source is already something one can't ask for much more.
"Hero, Lord!"
A familiar voice sounded not far away, accompanied by the sound of rapid footsteps. Yaraal came over with a portion of food in her hands.
"Good morning, Yaraal." Minori stood up, smiled and greeted Yaraal.
Yaraal was still wearing revealing clothes that barely covered her vital parts, and her forehead and slender neck were covered with a layer of fine sweat.
"Hero, Lord, this is your breakfast. I'm very sorry for being a little late." Yaraal came to Minori with an apologetic face, lowered her head in shame, and bowed deeply.
"Such a small matter, no need to be like this, and I just came out." Minori took the food, picked up a unique grilled scorpion tail, found a clean place to sit down, and started eating casually.
Seeing that Minori didn't seem angry, Yaraal slightly retracted her flat abdomen, breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Minori with a face full of curiosity and worship.
He clearly doesn't look like he has much muscle.
But he can easily kill the Gray Dwarf army, which is really incredible.
Under such a direct gaze, Minori's eyelids twitched.
After a brief contact, he had already been able to feel the directness and some stubbornness of the people here in terms of speaking and doing things.
For example, in terms of address, Minori reminded her several times last night, but there was no way to get Yaraal to change her way of speaking, so he simply went along with her.
"How are the injuries of your people recovering?" Minori asked.
"Thanks to the healing potion given by Hero, Lord, everyone has been able to get out of bed and walk after one night."
Yaraal quickly spoke when she heard the question, and the worship in her eyes became even stronger. She put her hands together in front of her chest and bowed again:
"Some of the disabled people have also recovered from their injuries under the treatment of Hero, Lord's potion."
"Thank you so much, Hero, Lord!"
Faced with this gratitude.
Minori didn't decline again, but nodded: "That's good."
The alchemical potion made from Ogre Guu blood only has a moderate recovery effect, far less than the low-level red potion in the game that "recovers 50 HP."
...
Item: Magic Alchemy Solution (Regeneration Potion)
Level: Lower
Introduction: Can restore 20 HP, has an excellent effect on wound recovery, and can remove certain negative states of "limb loss".
...
This is an alchemical potion made from the blood of Ogre Guu, and the effect is better than the potion made from ordinary ogre blood.
Especially for some ordinary people with relatively low strength.
"Father has already started training the use of Gray Dwarf armor and weapons. Everyone is working very hard and can master it proficiently in at most two days." Yaraal spoke again, her tone full of excitement.
Attacking the oasis where the Gray Dwarf tribe is located is something they have never thought about. Now that there is an opportunity in front of them, no tribe is willing to give up this opportunity.
In decades of fighting, I don't know how many people have died in the hands of the Gray Dwarves. The hatred between the two sides has long been irreconcilable.
Minori nodded slightly, Patriarch Yarman is very capable.
"Did you just train?"
Minori swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his head and glanced at Yaraal. There was still a layer of sweat on her forehead.
Sending food obviously wouldn't cause her to sweat.
"Yes, Hero, Lord!" Yaraal quickly said: "Grandpa and Father said that only by becoming stronger can we protect our people and make them live better."
"That…"
A trace of nervousness appeared on Yaraal's face. She glanced at Minori carefully, bit her lip, and said cautiously:
"Hero, Lord, I want to become stronger, can you teach me?"
After Yaraal finished speaking, she pinched her slender fingers and looked at Minori expectantly.
Her strength is already the strongest in the entire tribe. Her father can no longer teach her, but with her current strength alone, she still cannot truly protect her people in this Despair Valley.
Not to mention stepping into the legendary "Hero" realm.
Hearing this.
A trace of understanding flashed in Minori's eyes. He had already seen that Yaraal seemed to have something on her mind, and it turned out to be this.
But!
Minori knew very well that his strength was completely due to the crushing of attributes, and the overall strength came from professional skills.
A brief silence.
"Show me the strongest move you currently have mastered." Minori said to Yaraal.
"Yes, Hero, Lord."
Yaraal immediately said excitedly, and suddenly realized that she didn't have a weapon in her hand, and quickly said: "Wait a moment, Hero, Lord."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yaraal ran away in a hurry.
Minori shook his head helplessly.
Before a few minutes had passed.
Yaraal came running back with a long spear in her hand, looking excited.
"Hero, Lord, I'm going to start!" As soon as Yaraal stood still, she raised the silver-white spear in both hands without hesitation.
Her whole aura changed!
"Earth Charge!"
Yaraal shouted in a low voice, a khaki light flashed across her body, and her whole figure suddenly rushed forward, like an arrow shot out and disappeared in place.
In an instant.
Yaraal appeared in an open space seven meters away, and the spear in her hand slammed forward, making a piercing explosion in the air.
Seeing this scene, Minori narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the information displayed on the attribute panel, and then continued to observe.
After Yaraal launched this attack, she pressed down on the white spear with her wrist, pressed down on the tail rod with one hand, and let out another delicate shout: "Precise Control!"
In a breath!
Yaraal's aura improved a bit more, and the spear in her hand turned into afterimages, quickly stabbing forward.
"Combo?"
Seeing this scene, a trace of surprise flashed across Minori's face, and then he shook his head again: "Not a combo, but a means of attack that quickly increases one's own speed."
With the completion of these two attacks.
Yaraal's breathing had become a little rapid, but she still continued to show several attack methods before stopping completely, looking at Minori with some expectation.
"Basic profession warrior, knight, and a mid-level profession Earth Knight."
Minori glanced at the information that appeared on the attribute panel one after another, and completely understood the professions that Yaraal possessed.
What surprised him a little was that Yaraal had mastered three professions, one of which was a mid-level profession.
"Very good." Minori looked at Yaraal seriously and praised her.
Based on the strength that Yaraal showed just now, although she has not reached level 20 or above, she is also around level seventeen or eighteen.
It can be seen that her talent is very good at this age, no, it should be described as quite good.
Even in the human countries of the Northwest Continent, she has the level of a "platinum" adventurer.
Yaraal's cheeks were a little red, and she put down the silver spear in her hand: "Such strength is far from enough to protect the people. I also want to have the strength as strong as Grandpa and Hero, Lord."
"But I don't think I have a high talent."
Yaraal said here and lowered her head.
"No."
Minori said softly, and then said seriously: "You have such talent."
"Ah?" Yaraal raised her head, looking at Minori with silver pupils in disbelief.
If someone else said it, she would naturally not believe it, but the words spoken by the powerful Hero, Lord in front of her are of extraordinary significance.
Minori nodded, this is not perfunctory.
Although he can't see the specific level of a person's talent, he can observe the number of professions the other party has with the help of the attribute panel.
Although this cannot be completely said to be talent, the number of professions can also represent a part of the potential.
At least a person who only has a basic profession, no matter how much they improve, will only reach level 15 at most.
Yaraal has two basic professions and one mid-level profession, so the upper limit will naturally be higher. As for whether she can really be promoted to the "Hero" level.
That can only depend on opportunity and effort.
He recalls "Warrior Captain" Gazef has several professions and also has this potential, but until his death, he did not truly reach the realm of "Hero".
