Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 87 Frost Throat
From the moment the barbarians appeared at the door of the tavern, Xia Nan immediately lowered his head to eat, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

After all, the Midsummer Eve bonfire ceremony just now had left too deep an impression on him.

The condensed aura of a highly unified body and mind is just like the hunchbacked old man I met on the outskirts of Kalanfor.

Definitely not an ordinary professional.

Compared with the previous half-elf guard, the feeling that "Wood", who has become a wanderer, gives me.

He even suspected that these two people had already reached the level of high-level professionals, the level rumored to be "supernormal".

With his current low strength that hasn't even reached a professional level, what if he accidentally offends the other party, or some madman from the chaotic evil camp who does whatever he wants.

Then he probably wouldn't even know where to run.

To be on the safe side, it is better to have less contact.

But what he didn't expect was that the barbarian who entered the tavern seemed to be looking for himself.

Xia Nan lowered his head, seemingly concentrating on scooping the soup, but in fact he pricked up his ears and carefully observed the movements around him with the corner of his eyes.

I only felt the burly figure wrapped in pale wolf skin, accompanied by slow and clear footsteps, gradually approaching me step by step.

Shrouded in shadow, he could even hear the other person's long, powerful breathing.

"Are you Xia Nan?"

The common language with a strong northern accent seemed to come from the cold wind and blizzard, and was unclear.

I was suddenly surprised and didn't understand why the other party knew the name of an unknown person like me.

The sudden change in events caused countless thoughts to flash through my mind.

Organizing the words in his mind, Xia Nan subconsciously put down the spoon in his hand and raised his head.

Before he could say anything, he felt the barbarian's gaze, as if it were real, sweeping across his jet-black hair, eyes, and the iron-gray beheading sword behind him.

The identity was confirmed.

There was a slight sound of bone and tooth necklaces colliding next to my ears.

When I looked over again, the barbarian was already sitting directly across from the table.

"Hai'an, remember?"

With his arms as thick as a young tree resting on the table, he turned his body sideways and looked around at the interior of the tavern.

Haian?

Xia Nan naturally knew the name of the half-elf. The reason why he had been staying in the town and not going out to do quests to earn money was to wait for the combat instructor that the other party had contacted for him, but...

I was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening.

Is it...

With a cautious tone, he asked tentatively:
"He mentioned in his letter that you won't be passing through Riverdale Town until next month at the earliest."

"Something's up. Come on."

The Savage glanced at him and replied casually.

really!

Although he didn't know what exactly happened, the professional that the half-elf helped him find arrived in River Valley Town nearly a month earlier than expected.

The reason why he recognized me at a glance was probably because Haian had mentioned his identity to him before:
Dressed like an adventurer, black hair and black eyes, sharp features, young, and an iron-gray two-handed sword...

All in all, it is not difficult to identify.

For a moment, Xia Nan even felt a little excited in his heart.

I thought the mentor Hai'an contacted for him was just an ordinary professional like Wood.

I didn't expect that it would bring him such a surprise.

"What a nice guy!"

"If I have the chance to go to Neum in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to make a special trip to visit you."

Xia Nan secretly admired the kindness of the half-elf.

At the same time, he looked at the barbarian across the table with anticipation in his eyes.

I wanted to exchange a few pleasantries, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I was too late to say anything.

The other party took advantage of these few seconds to thoroughly scan the entire tavern with his eyes.

Then he turned around and got straight to the point:

"【Flieran Spear Stab】, 【Broken Blade Block】, 【Heavy Shield Attack】, 【Iron Wall Spin】." "Which one do you want to learn?"

After sitting in the chair for two seconds, Xia Nan realized that the other party was asking him which fighting skill he wanted to learn.

Adam's apple rolling.

The first thought in his mind was, of course, "I want them all!"

Of course, just thinking about it.

No relatives or friends,

The barbarian in front of him, who was suspected to be a high-level professional, even accepted the commission from the half-elf Hai'an to teach him combat skills, but he did it just as he passed by the Valley Town.

If you rashly make abrupt requests, it will only cause dissatisfaction on the other party and you don’t know what might happen.

Be honest, don't get angry, and learn the fighting skills.

Complete 2/3 of the prerequisites for obtaining a professional level.

That's what he should do now.

His brain raced, recalling the names the barbarian had just mentioned, and carefully analyzing the types of combat skills:

[Freelland Spear Stab] is most likely a stabbing-type combat skill, and suitable weapons should be spears and rapiers.

But considering that he has already practiced [Spinning Slash] to the maximum level, he can easily use it even if he just finds a branch on the side of the road and holds it in his hand.

The impact is not significant, so it can be put as an alternative.

[Broken Blade Block], as the name suggests, is a defensive type of move.

It was probably similar to the "Block and Hack" book he bought from the grocery store before, but he didn't know if it had the effect of counterattacking.

His fighting style had not yet been finalized, and he did not have a clear understanding of his future positioning.

No matter whether it is defense or offense, as long as it is real combat skills, Xia Nan is open to most of them.

Can learn.

[Heavy Shield Strike], the name is also simple and clear.

If it was half a month ago, he would not have considered it if he did not have the right equipment.

But now that we have the "Snake Scale Arm Shield" with superb attributes, it can be upgraded to magic equipment in the future.

It is not impossible to prepare a shield strike type combat skill in advance.

As for the final [Iron Wall Spin]...

Xia Nan was a little unsure.

Judging from the last two words alone, the effect of the move may overlap with his own [Spin Slash].

But the "iron wall" in front seems to be some kind of defensive combat skill.

Right now, if he really had to choose one of the four combat skills that best suited his combat habits, perhaps...

With his brows furrowed, he was lost in thought, stirring the mushroom soup subconsciously with a wooden spoon after taking a few sips.

After considering for a long time, Xia Nan still couldn't make a decision.

He couldn't help but raise his head, looking at the barbarian in front of him who was calm, and asked in a low voice:
"Could you please give me a brief introduction, or which one do you think is more suitable for a newcomer like me?"

The deep blue eyes, like ice, reflected the black-haired young man in front of him with two swords on his back.

silence.

Just when Xia Nan was wondering if he had accidentally offended the other party.

The Savage rose suddenly.

"At dawn tomorrow, at the entrance of the tavern, bring your equipment."

The doubts in my heart seemed to be frozen in my throat by the coldness from the other person.

Watching the barbarian walk towards the gate and about to leave.

Xia Nan only had time to ask a quick question:
"What do you call it?"

"Furgan."

"Forgon Frostmaw."
