Chapter 15: Battle Concept and Gossip
..The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
The " Loose Gloves " was a very interesting strange item.
It couldn't directly provide combat power.
However, if it was used properly.
The value of this glove might even exceed the sum of the other items.
The negative side effects were also within an acceptable range.
When he didn't need it, he would just throw it in a corner.
He sorted out the spoils of war.
While Matthew was impressed by Fein's wealth, he also reminded himself, "The man didn't even have the chance to use so many of his tools. It can be seen that whenever you fight with others, no matter how well prepared you are, there is a risk of sudden death."
Matthew was a risk-averse person, and he was slightly tired of fighting.
At least for now, he was willing to avoid most of the battles that could be avoided.
If it weren't for the fact that the Arsonist and the Evil Priest were threatening his development resources and he had the Bone Dragon, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to attack.
But he also knew that avoiding battle would not solve all problems.
Therefore, he had no choice.
How to protect himself in future battles became the most important thing.
"No matter what kind of battle it is, the core principle must be to 'stay alive'. Only when you are alive can you deal damage! From another point of view, as long as one is alive, even if one is on the verge of death, there is still hope for one to fight with all of one's might and survive!"
He recalled the two battles tonight.
Matthew seriously summarized his experience.
The first combat concept he formulated for himself was " Survival first."
As for how to apply this concept in practice, many details were involved.
Matthew focused deeply on the concept of [Beware of sudden death].
Any profession with weak health had the risk of dying.
This was because this world was filled with all kinds of strange ways to kill people instantly.
Master Ronan had once given Matthew a book called " The Death of a Mage ". The book recorded the sudden deaths of 99 famous mages in history.
The last page of the book read:
..
[If you still feel that the author is making a mountain out of a molehill, then you are likely to be the 100th mage who will pay the price of his life for his arrogance.]
..
Perhaps he was influenced by the book. Ronan held the series of spells of " Garcia's Armor " in high esteem.
However, Matthew felt that...
The magic armor was useful, but it was too one-sided.
Combined with his gaming experience from his previous life, he set the three key attributes to highlight in his mind.
..
[Toughness, Immunity, Will]
..
Toughness was the fundamental attribute that resisted most negative statuses and control methods.
The benefits of high toughness were incredible.
If Fein was not an Evil Priest but a Sword Master, Phily's Draconic Might might not be so effective. Even if the bone dragon was still a level higher and Matthew's side would definitely win, the battle would definitely not be so smooth.
This was the most direct manifestation of the value of toughness.
"If a Thief tries to sneak near me, I can use 'Blind Sense' to counter invisibility. However, if the other party also has a method similar to the Dragon's Might, I'm afraid I can only sit and wait for death!"
When he thought of this situation, Matthew felt a little worried.
..
Immunity was a key attribute to resist parasitic microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and voodoo curses.
Willpower was more useful against Fear counterchecks.
According to Matthew's current growth pattern, he did not have to worry too much about his " willpower " for the time being. The necromancer's meditation would naturally increase his willpower slowly.
" Immunity " was too unpopular, and he was usually the one who used abilities like Rotten Spore to trick others. As long as he was careful, he would not fail miserably.
Therefore, he only needed to focus on toughness. Training one's physique could only go so far.
..
"Perhaps the Druid class has a way to increase their toughness. If it really doesn't work, I can find a shapeshifting target with high toughness.
"I remember that there are also some low-level passive spells that can slightly increase toughness..."
..
After a long time.
Matthew finally pulled himself out of his self-reflection.
..
Secondly, there was a high chance that the Suki Family had spies from the Order of Calamity.
According to Blake, Sif was kidnapped when she went to the countryside to play. The route she took was very secretive, and no one knew except those close to her.
If this spy were not found out, they would always be a hidden danger.
Fein also mentioned the uniqueness of Sif's bloodline.
This made Matthew curious and uneasy.
..
Third, Fein had mentioned in the letter that 'the archmage Ronan was trapped in the astral world'.
At first, Matthew didn't care.
He thought it was nonsense.
However, he had just heard from Blake that Ronan had not appeared for more than a year!
Not only in Rolling Stone Town, but even Jewel Bay, where he was stationed, had been in a commotion recently. There were several major events that had happened, but Ronan had not appeared. This was inevitably worrying.
If this information were true, if that were the case, the days ahead in Rolling Stone Town would not be peaceful.
..
The fourth was about the Ghost Castle. The soul of the merchant who had been intercepted and killed had mentioned that he had died at the hands of a tall man with disheveled hair.
Neither Fein nor Angele fitted the description.
Last night, Matthew saw a figure with disheveled hair as the fog descended.
This meant that the death of the merchant was related to the fog in the Ghost Castle.
However, his corpse was found by the Farmer on the road not too close to the Ghost Castle.
This was very intriguing.
"So last night, was it Fein's Curse Creation that stimulated the creation of the fog? Or was it caused by someone else?
"Is it because Great Wizard Ronan is trapped in the astral plane that the evil creatures in the Ghost Castle are about to make a move?"
The more Matthew thought about it, the more his head hurt.
Until dinner time.
His thoughts were restless.
..
Tonight's dinner was tomato cream soup, black pepper steak, and cloves egg tart.
Peggy's cooking was still superb.
However, Matthew had a poor appetite.
"What's wrong? My dear Matthew, are you finally in your lovey-dovey state? Tell me, which girl is it that makes you so hungry? It can't be Sif, right? She's your student!"
Matthew rolled his eyes.
"I'm just thinking about the problem."
Peggy said seriously, "Don't think about the problem while eating. This is basic respect for food! People will often take things for granted.
"Only someone like me who has died once knows how wonderful and luxurious it is to be able to eat like a living person."
Matthew was stunned for a moment and said apologetically,
"You're right, Peggy."
He threw away those thoughts and began to enjoy his dinner.
Peggy supported her bony chin with both hands.
"That's more like it, Matthew!
"By the way, let me tell you some gossip. I heard it secretly a while ago!"
This time, it was Matthew's turn to lecture Peggy.
..
"Peggy, how many times have I told you not to run around at night just because you have stealth skills?
"This is very impolite!
"If you were caught, it would not only be awkward, but it would also be scary."
..
Peggy shrugged.
"Then do you want to hear the gossip or not?"
Matthew scooped up a large spoonful of thick soup. Before the sweet spoon could reach his mouth, his mouth could not help but salivate.
"Ding..." he mumbled.
"Do you know why the Suki Family Lord hates necromancers?"
Peggy said mysteriously, "Because his wife ran off with a necromancer!"
