Chapter 17: Still cheating? That's not good, right?
Magic Shadow Cloak: When moving in the dark, the enemy will not be able to find the assassin's trace. The assassin can use this advantage to avoid the opponent or sneak attack the opponent to inflict heavy damage.
From another skill tree of dark assassins besides martial arts and traps - Shadow Training.
In other words, it is the unique skill of assassins.
"You, you want me to learn this?" Is it possible for an ordinary person like Ruger to learn the ability of Nephalem?
"Well, not completely." Tia raised the corner of her mouth playfully, "Just part of it is fine."
"Brother Ruger, you only need to master some skills. When the time comes, I will lead the way in front and you will follow behind, and we can sneak through."
Well, this seems to make sense.
Learn the appearance, and then let Tia make up for the problem of not being similar in spirit. Maybe, perhaps, it should be possible to fool it...
With this idea, Ruger, although he was worried about the lawsuit, still followed Tia and imitated her,
and started to practice on the second floor of this small and dilapidated house.
It's just the progress...
Anyway, Tia has said "don't rush, take your time" several times.
Ruger also gained something.
He had already mastered the basic technique of moving quietly in a half-squat state.
But without magic power and the ability of Nephalem, he was really unsure if it was just a similar form.
However, just when he wanted to talk to Teacher Tia about going outside to try actual combat practice, the system dinged again.
[It is detected that the host's proficiency in the special skills learned independently has reached the standard. Do you want to spend 120 points to solidify it? ]
Solidify?
Ruger quickly read through the instructions and confirmed that he had understood it correctly.
Solidify means that the system can help him learn the complete version of the magic shadow cloak.
Well, it turns out that the cheats given to him by the system not only have the initial template, but also have such excessive learning ability?
Well, it's just 120 points, just to learn an auxiliary skill.
It seems that this cheat is not that excessive.
Although he had bought the second shot of the physical enhancer and spent another 100 points, he still had 120 points left.
Points, you can earn more after you spend them all.
It's hard to say if there's a good thing like a teacher who teaches you skills.
What if you have an epiphany like those immortals, and it's gone?
So, without much hesitation, he quickly clicked to confirm.
Instantly, a feeling of comfort similar to that of using attribute enhancement potions, but more intense, swept through Ruger's body,
just like taking a comfortable hot bath in the coldest days of winter, and then being scrubbed by a bath master.
That feeling, as if every pore in the body subconsciously murmured a comfortable moan.
When the comfort reached its peak, he subconsciously trembled in a trance.
While he was savoring this feeling, Tia in front of him exclaimed,
"Brother Lu! You, you actually, actually learned it?"
"How, how could you really learn it?"
"Are you, too, a Nephalem?"
What Nephalem~
Ruger, who was still savoring the feeling of comfort, thought to himself,
Your brother Lu is not a pervert like Nephalem, but just a system traveler...ヽ(╯▽╰)ﾉ
Okay, okay, there are so many perverts in the world, and there is nothing more perverted than the system...
But can Ruger say this?
He could only laugh and repeatedly stated that he didn't know what was going on.
"Alas, after all, it has been decades since the Great Shattering.
Since the Lost Ones can be integrated into Rogue Town,
then in turn, most of the descendants of Nephalem can be integrated into the Lost Ones in the outside world.
Not strange, not strange."
Although she said so, seeing her curious look up and down at him, Ruger knew it was not that simple.
At least for her, she was probably the only "descendant of the Nephilim who drifted to the Lost Ones outside of Rogue Town."
Eh? Wait!
Did Tia just say that some Lost Ones humans had integrated into Rogue Town?
"Yes." Tia nodded immediately after hearing Ruger's question.
"Otherwise, those Lost One weapons are so complicated, we can't just dig up the ruins and learn them."
"I heard from Teacher Kadala that one of the teachers who taught her alchemy was a Lost One human."
This...
Ruger thought to himself, it turns out that humans who have been influenced by modern technology love to pretend to be alchemists when they go to the medieval magic world, right?
However, what is the attainment of this Lost One alchemist?
With this curiosity, he pointed to the three-barrel sawed-off shotgun in the holster on the girl's leg.
"That gun is the work of your Lost One teacher... um, master?"
Tia immediately pulled out the three-barreled gun and handed it to Ruger while explaining.
"In a sense, it is."
"This was made by Teacher Kadala when I was a child. But the design was passed down from that master."
"It is said that it was the work of a Lost One alchemist named Chiappa."
Chiappa?
When Ruger heard this familiar name, he also saw the crooked Latin letters on the inscription on the gun.
It was: CHIAPPA, Chiappa.
"Master Alchemist Chiappa?"
Ruger chewed on the title in a low voice.
While he wanted to laugh, he felt a strange feeling of time and space being dislocated and overlapped.
Chiappa is indeed a gunsmith. He once worked for the Beretta "master" family in Italy, which has been passed down for more than 500 years.
Later, he went out on his own and created his own firearms brand.
Unlike the famous "masters" such as Colt, Browning, and Beretta, Chiappa finally specialized in civilian firearms.
The most famous and representative product of their family should be the "Rhino" series of revolvers.
This pistol adopts the design of the barrel below the axis of the revolver, which is quite recognizable.
This can maximize the height of the barrel axis with the shooter's hand holding the gun, greatly reducing the muzzle jump caused by shooting.
However, the secret of this store's real turnaround and great development is to make antique rifles.
For example, various lever-action rifles from the American Civil War period, and various break-action shotguns.
Break-action may sound unfamiliar, but most people should have seen this kind of firearms.
It is the kind that you break the gun body in the middle and load the bullet directly into the barrel that is folded downward.
The skeet shooting in the Olympic shooting event uses the classic double-barreled hunting rifle|shotgun with center-break loading.
The one in Ruger's hand is also a typical center-break shotgun, but it is a three-barreled type.
The three barrels are arranged in the shape of a "品" character,
but there is only one trigger, and when shooting, it is fired in the order of "left, right, and top".
The original model is also written crookedly on the inscription on the gun body: TRIPLE-ODEL, triple (double) crown type.
Just looking at this word, Ruger confirmed that it was indeed Tia's own work.
After all, being able to write such simple Latin letters like this must be not an ordinary illiterate.
It's not like she was forced to write Chinese characters...
But after all, this is not the original text of the dark world.
This is probably taught to her by her equally illiterate teacher as a kind of "picture".
She was already very talented to write so well that Ruger could recognize most of it.
Muttering silently in his heart, Ruger opened the center-breaking mechanism.
He pinched the bottom edge of the shell that was ejected out of the barrel with his fingers, and then he easily took out the shotgun shell.
This was also a 12-gauge shotgun shell about three inches long, the same as the one Ruger used.
But this one, how should I put it, was full of the flavor of a nineteenth-century workshop.
Not to mention that the length of the ammunition was a little different from the standard, the shell made of cardboard alone gave off a cheap feeling.
