Chapter 639: Skilled Stealing (Subscription Request)
"Ha, my friend, you are so considerate!" Martin couldn't help but sigh, "Miss Quinn, the many coincidences between you and Roger make me believe that there is such a thing as fate in the world."
"But then again, one thing is one thing, we also saved you today, how are you going to repay this favor?"
Jiang Feng smiled knowingly, opened the button of his bag, took out two rolls of banknotes stolen from Bagum's house, and gave one roll to Gao Fei and Martin respectively.
"Two detectives, please accept this little gift of thanks. I hope that these 2,000 gold duga notes can strengthen our friendship."
"As for the remaining property..." Jiang Feng patted his bulging bag, "I will send it to the church and ask my uncle Father Gallup to give it to the poor people in the city."
"You are as kind as an angel! Miss Quinn, on behalf of the poor friends of Pipe Street, I thank you for your generosity!"
Martin's fat face smiled like a flower, full of rainbow farts, and at the same time, he did not stop him from stuffing the money into his pocket.
The three of them sat on the spot to divide the spoils, and then Gao Fei and Jiang Feng both received a system prompt:
"You have completed the main plot milestone of this chapter, and the energy of the star disk and the professional level +1!"
Gao Fei's "Thief" has been upgraded to level 5.
Proficiency modifier +1, HP +7, sneak attack damage dice 3d6.
The total number of stolen spells has increased to 5, and a core ability "Proficient Thief" has been learned.
…
Skilled Stealing: When you steal spells from others, you can steal multiple spells at once, and the upper limit = skill modifier.
…
Previously, Gao Fei's "Spell Thief" could only steal one magic at a time.
Now with "Skilled Stealing", the efficiency of stealing has been greatly improved.
The skill modifier of the 5th-level "Spell Thief" is +3, so Gao Fei can get up to 3 magics from the target in one theft.
It should be noted that "Skilled Stealing" only improves the efficiency of stealing, and does not change the upper limit of the spells that Gao Fei can retain, which only depends on the professional level of the Spell Thief.
Jiang Feng's "Templar Raider" has also been upgraded to level 5,
Proficiency modifier +1, HP +7, sneak attack damage dice 3d6.
The newly realized professional ability is the "magic" that Gao Fei had seen before from "Archangel" Umberto.
…
Magic: Use melee weapons to conduct "contact" and "ray" spells, and activate the spell effect the moment the weapon hits the target.
…
In addition, the 5th-level "Templar" can also choose the first 2nd-ring divine spell.
Normally, Jiang Feng should give priority to the most practical 2nd-ring divine spell "attribute enhancement" or "resist energy damage".
Both spells belong to the nature of "gift packages". The former includes six subcategories of cow, cat, bear, fox, owl, and eagle, while the latter includes resistance barriers to five energy attributes of fire, electricity, acid, cold, and sound waves.
Even if these two most comprehensive spells are not selected, "Silence", "Spirit Weapon", "Protection from Toxins", "Secondary Restoration" and "Phantom Steps" are all reasonable options.
However, considering the "magic" that he had just learned, Jiang Feng had an alternative idea.
All the above spells are indeed good, but unfortunately none of them can be used with "magic".
Jiang Feng didn't want "Magic" to be a decoration. If she wanted to make full use of it, she had to pair it with at least a contact or ray spell.
She read through the 2nd-level divine spells that "Templars" could choose from beginning to end, and finally locked on the target - "Wounding"!
…
2nd-level "Wounding": You transform magic power into negative energy, and pale undead fire ignites on your fingertips, touches a living creature and causes 10d6 necrotic damage to it; if the recipient fails the Fortitude save, the upper limit of the HP will be reduced by the value equal to the necrotic damage it has suffered. If you use this spell on an undead creature, it will provide a 10d6 healing effect.
…
"Wounding" is a standard melee contact magic, and the damage is so high that it has reached the upper limit of a 2nd-level spell.
With "Magic", Jiang Feng can use a rapier instead of bare hands to conduct "Wounding".
Her rapier is a "divine weapon", with an advantage in attack rolls, and damage is calculated into the perception modifier, plus 10d6 "wounding spell", it is easy to deal explosive damage!
That's not all.
Don't forget that Jiang Feng's "Templar" is also good at sneak attacks and backstabs, and the rapier is a typical high-critical weapon.
Imagine that when she quietly approaches the enemy from behind and suddenly backstabs with the sword.
In addition to the normal weapon damage, the agility modifier and perception modifier (divine weapon), 3d6 sneak attack damage bonus, and 10d6 "wounding spell" must also be calculated.
On this basis, if the 15% critical strike chance is triggered by chance... the damage number will be exaggerated!
Except for a few boss-level characters, basically they will be killed by her sword in one second.
Martin promoted to level 5 ranger.
Proficiency modifier +1, HP +9.
The magic connection with the natural partner is enhanced, and the spell effect can be shared with the hound.
Starting from level 5, the ranger can choose the second type of enemy.
Martin chose "humanoids" without hesitation.
In this adventure module set in the city, the hostile forces of the protagonists often come from within human society.
Martin also learned a new 1st level natural magic, which is a very practical control magic "Entanglement".
Gao Fei was tempted for a moment and considered whether to steal Martin's "Entanglement".
But then he thought that Comrade Xiao Ma had better control spells than "Entanglement", such as "Spider Web" and "Oil".
Now that he had stolen Martin's "Entanglement", he would have to replace it if he didn't have a chance to use it, so he was too lazy to bother with it.
Martin's hound "Landlord" also upgraded with his master, HP+8, and the total health value increased to 40 points.
When necessary, you can use "Giant Transformation" on it to act as a MT.
There is still no reward profession in this chapter.
The three candidate reward feats are "Parry", "Power Attack" and "Dual Wielder".
...
Dual Wielder: Both hands are equally balanced and are not restricted by weapon type. When fighting with dual wielding, the main hand weapon has an attack advantage, and the off-hand weapon damage can also gain strength or agility correction.
…
Gao Fei had no hesitation and chose "Dual Wielder" in a second!
His "Spell Thief" has a default fighting style of dual wielding a rapier and a dagger, which is suitable for "Dual Wielder".
In the street fight not long ago, Gao Fei also seized three revolvers from Bagum's mercenaries, one of which he gave to Jiang Feng, and the other two were kept for himself.
Dual wielding pistols can also be enhanced by "Dual Wielder". With the bonus expertise "Rapid Shooting" obtained in the previous chapter, Gao Fei can fire three shots in a round of attack!
