Contract Master
"Dragon Binding Silk (Hidden Weapon)"
Rating: SS
"Sharpness 11, Toughness 9, Weight 5, Balance 7"
Special Skill: Strangulation
"Strangulation: When you use Dragon Binding Silk to strangle a target, there is a 90% chance of it causing effects such as armor shattering, bone penetration, or flesh penetration."
This is the Hidden Hero special weapon Roger has acquired.
Compared to Red Moon, Green Cicada, and Purple Wisp.
The Dragon Binding Silk is a truly Exotic Weapon.
It has two finger sleeves at each end.
The finger sleeve contains a mechanism.
When not in use, you can put away those fine silver threads.
Once needed, simply pull it open!
The deadly danger of the Dragon Binding Silk lies primarily in the silver threads between the finger cots.
These silver threads appear thin and easily broken.
In reality, it is extremely resilient.
When the Hidden Hero wields the Dragon Binding Silk, he only needs to wrap it around the enemy's neck.
Then, with a twist of the hands, one can seize the head.
It can be said to be extremely ruthless.
The only concern with this type of concealed weapon lies in the quality of the silk thread.
To ensure that this First Ring does not falter.
When placing the order and selecting materials, Roger paid for it out of his own pocket.
The silver thread in front of you is made of "Hevare Mithril" mixed with refined gold.
"Hevare Mithril" comes from the Red Sleeve Brotherhood's Warehouse and is one of the hardest and strongest alloys in Mystra.
The adamantite comes from Hanfulan.
It gives the Dragon Binding Silk sufficient flexibility and extensibility.
As for the magical properties inherent in adamantite, Roger had no use for them.
Like other weapons exclusive to the Hidden Hero.
The Dragon Binding Silk also has its own Secret Techniques!
That's "Money Grows on Trees," a skill that can only be learned at level 25!...
"Money Grows on Trees"
Rating: S (Heads fall, heroes make a fortune)
"Details: Learning the first level, 'Money Grows on Trees,' will give you a basic understanding of how to use the Dragon Binding Silk and increase your arm strength and grip by 1 point."
"Cost: 100 Xia Yin Value /First Tier"
The background story of the Dragon Binding Silk is described as follows: It is said that in ancient times, there was a type of chivalrous knight who loved to rob the rich and help the poor.
They used the Dragon Binding Silk to assassinate those who were rich and heartless.
Hence the saying, "When a head falls, the knight-errant makes a fortune."
The Secret Techniques got its name from this.
After reading this story.
Roger thought the person who designed this module was pretty chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).
Anyway.
After reading the explanation of "Money Grows on Trees".
Roger maxed out this Secret Techniques.
The Money Grows on Trees has three levels and consumes Xia Yin Value points.
But Roger felt it was worth it.
After learning the third level, "Money Grows on Trees," his arm strength and pulling power increased significantly.
at the same time.
He can use the Dragon Binding Silk in various postures to strangle opponents during battle!
This is important.
Because it's in Roger's hunting manual.
The Dragon Binding Silk is used to treat the Thunder Dragon with scraping therapy...
Oh no, the perfect weapon for scraping scales!
Once the Thunder Dragon loses its indestructible scales.
To put it bluntly, it's just a lump of rotten flesh.
Apart from twenty-six low-end Red Moon and Dragon Binding Silk.
Roger also purchased sixteen incredibly heavy two-handed axes from this blacksmith's workshop.
This type of axe is typically used for chopping down trees.
The axe's point is not sharp.
But they could also come in handy in Roger's plans.
It's always better to be prepared.
He settled the remaining payment with the shop owner, then made up an excuse to send the owner away.
He summoned the gargoyles, which swallowed the weapons whole.
Then he leisurely left Dawn Town.
night.
In a brand new Warehouse next to the farm.
Roger was writing furiously under the candlestick.
A thick book sat in front of him.
The books are currently laid out flat.
Lines of complex text danced merrily across the pages.
Roger often had to hold the pages down with his hand to prevent the words from jumping out.
This book was the "Horned Demon Contract" that he found from the second leader of the Red Sleeve Brotherhood.
On the data panel.
"You have acquired a new profession: Contract Master (Support)"
Contractor Options: 1. Part-time 2. Expansion Module (Insufficient Expansion Slot) 3. Abandon
"That's about it."
Roger glanced at the words on the parchment and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The next moment.
He took a stack of clean Rabbit Skin from the drawer and spread them out on the table.
Then he quickly selected "part-time".
"The Rabbit Skin I've been preparing for so long has finally come in handy."
Roger was a little excited.
"You've taken on the role of a contract lawyer."
"Given that the 'Contract Master' is a support class, the experience penalty is reduced to 1/5."
"You have gained 1 Contract Point (each Contract Point can summon one Contract Creature; Contract Points are lost when a Contract Creature dies)."
Auxiliary occupations refer to part-time jobs that are not included in the overall occupational ranking.
For example.
Before taking on part-time jobs.
Roger is a level 25 Hidden Hero and a level 1 Qi Master, with a total class level of 26.
After taking on a part-time job.
Although he became a Level 1 Contract Master, his overall level remained unchanged.
in this case.
The penalty for his part-time work experience will be reduced to one-fifth of the original amount.
This is a very cost-effective part-time option.
The drawback of support-type professions is that their profession level must be First Ring lower than that of the main profession.
Roger's main profession is now the 3rd Ring.
Therefore, the maximum level for a Contract Master is 20.
But none of that matters.
Without a second thought, Roger immediately transferred a wave of experience points to the "Contract Master" rank.
Similarly, it is a support-type profession.
The experience required for a Contract Master to level up is actually very small.
Your Contract Master level has been increased to LV20.
"You have gained 1 contract point (total contract points: 10)"
"You have acquired the skill: Red Heart Loyalty (LV10)"
"You have acquired the skill: Deceive the Heavens (LV20)"
"Three new creatures have been added to your list of contracted creatures: Quasi-Horned Demon, Horned Demon Warrior, and Horned Demon Lord."
"Luckily, we got 'Deceive the Deceive the Heavens '."
In his previous life, Roger worked part-time as a contract master.
Therefore, he has very in-depth experience in this area.
This specialty is a minor gem.
"Deceive the Heavens (Contractor Specialty): You can have double the Contract Points"
This means that Roger's number of contracted creatures has increased from 10 to 20.
Combat power has increased by more than double! And the other specialty, "Red Heart Loyalty," is also quite good.
The effect is "each of your contracted creatures has an additional 20 initial loyalty".
For the cunning demon Roger is about to summon.
Every extra point of loyalty is a good thing.
After securing the part-time job.
Roger didn't hesitate any longer. He took the quill pen that he had also taken from Capella and quickly began to write the contract on the Rabbit Skin!
The creature he wanted to summon was a "Quasi-Horned Demon".
Forget about Horned Demon Warrior.
They all possess Extraordinary Body and elite templates; even Roger might not be able to defeat them one-on-one.
As for the Horned Demon Lord...
If Roger ever wants to commit suicide, he'll consider it.
Roger's writing is skillful.
The candlelight flickered.
A single Rabbit Skin was covered with densely packed Hellish Language.
In the open space of the Warehouse.
Space distorted for a moment.
A bare-chested Quasi-Horned Demon appeared out of nowhere.
This guy is at least three meters tall.
The sharp horns on its head almost hit the Warehouse shed!
He was naked from the waist up and legs, with a white cloth tied around his private parts; the rest of his body was covered in well-defined muscles.
Especially those eye-catching pectoral muscles, they're ridiculously big.
This is a Quasi-Horned Demon.
That's also the limit of what Roger can summon.
The Quasi-Horned Demon stared, about to make a move, when the gargoyle beside it suddenly flew up! Roger merely glared at him casually! The Quasi-Horned Demon shuddered.
He immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and expressed his submission in Hellish Language.
"You have acquired a new servant: Quasi-Horned Demon."
Initial loyalty: 80
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Roger stepped forward and gently stroked the Quasi-Horned Demon's pectoral muscles.
The latter made an uncomfortable, strange sound in his throat.
But they dared not disobey their master's wishes, so they could only grit their teeth and remain motionless.
"Those muscles, no wonder he's called the ' Rich Woman's Joy Demon '."
Recalling the comments players made about the Horned Demon race on the forums in my previous life.
Roger couldn't help but chuckle.
He took a two-handed giant axe and handed it to the Quasi-Horned Demon.
After a quick familiarization, the Quasi-Horned Demon was soon wielding it with impressive skill.
The Horned Demon race are born warriors.
He was the first choice when the Lord of Hell formed his army.
Even the Quasi-Horned Demon inferior bloodline are still undeniably muscular and powerful men.
It's much better than Sang Qi's Bear Goblin.
Roger is going to his Land of Buried Bones to hunt Thunder Dragon, so someone needs to look after the farm.
He wanted to keep the gargoyle with him.
The Quasi-Horned Demon naturally became the best choice.
Since he can summon 20 Quasi-Horned Demon, keeping 8 to guard the house and having the remaining 12 form a small team to go dragon hunting with him is the best arrangement.
These Quasi-Horned Demon units can provide very solid immediate combat power.
This is why contract masters are so popular.
Of course, everything has its drawbacks.
The drawback of the Contract Master is that once the contracted creature dies, it cannot be resurrected, and the contract points will not be refunded.
Therefore, in the later stages, many people choose to forget about contract masters and choose new part-time jobs.
Roger doesn't have such long-term plans for the time being.
Quasi-Horned Demon works well, I'll keep using it for now.
At that moment, Roger immediately began writing the second summoning contract.
that's all.
One night passed.
When Roger walked out of the Warehouse with dark circles under his eyes and yawning.
The Warehouse now houses 20 more true monsters.
Roger gave them the order to spar freely.
So it was in the Warehouse early in the morning.
Such sounds could be heard from time to time—
"Hey ha!"
"Hah!"
"Ugh... Hmm!"
That was the sound of the Quasi-Horned Demon punching their fists, drenched in sweat.
The next morning.
Roger visited the Lord's Manor and spent half a day having in-depth discussions with Lord Alan.
the next day.
The Lord's Manor then announced that Senluo Farm would be temporarily placed under the personal management of Lord Alan.
Apart from a few buildings designated by Roger that were guarded by Horned Demon Warrior wearing cloaks.
Alan helped manage the rest of the area.
spring.
It is the perfect season for planting.
More and more tenant farmers came to inquire about the situation.
Not long after.
A bustling scene of farming unfolded at Senluo Farm.
While the new tenant farmers were busy planting pumpkins and corn.
Master Roger, carrying the green crucible, has arrived at the western side of the Land of Buried Bones.
Ahead.
It is an incredibly dense Primitive Forest.
Countless Giant Tree Species blocked out the sunlight.
Under the tree.
It was patches of mottled shadows.
A quiet afternoon.
Roger's feet gently touched the soil at the edge of the forest.
The thick layer of dead leaves made a pleasant cracking sound.
It startled away several small animals whose appearances were indistinct.
Deep in the forest.
A faint, uneasy roar could be heard intermittently.
