As an NPC, having a lot of skills is quite reasonable, right?

The next day, Lily got up very early and ran to Moen, shaking him awake.

Looking at the still-dark night outside the window, Moen wondered if the little girl hadn't slept all night, but since she was awake, it wouldn't be good for her to continue sleeping.

Moen got up and deliberately drew the curtains, and even locked the door, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

Lily sat on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees, watching Moen's actions. She tilted her head and asked, "Brother Moen, can magic be taught right here in the bedroom?"

Moen turned around and said in a serious tone, "Of course you can, otherwise why would I be your teacher?"

"Pfft." Lily couldn't help but let out a short, soft laugh.

Moen didn't understand the joke. He wondered if people with cold personalities just liked listening to such dry jokes. He also couldn't figure out Arya's sense of humor.

"Alright, sit down." Moen's expression turned serious.

This time, he did not intend to teach the [Bloodstained Frost Robe].

The core of that skill is self-harm, requiring low health to reach its maximum effect, making it completely unsuitable for a mage like Lily.

But the other skill is different.

As a mage, the most lacking thing is a means of survival, and it should be common knowledge that mages have movement skills (laughs).

"Close your eyes, clear your mind, and don't resist whatever you feel."

Moen walked to the bedside, reached out his palm, and gently stroked Lily's soft, silvery-white hair.

[Detection indicates that the person being etched, "Lisa Wilder," has a very high level of trust in you, meeting the requirements.]

[Destiny Track Engraving in Progress]

The process of learning magic was not like the obscure and difficult incantations that Lily had imagined, nor was it the painful experience of forcibly instilling knowledge.

The moment Moen's palm touched her, she felt a vast stream of consciousness surge into her head.

If Lily had ever received a skill from the church, she would be shocked to discover that the feeling of Moen imparting skills was exactly the same as the feeling of a god bestowing a gift.

Just ten seconds later, Moen withdrew his hand and let out a long breath.

[Skill "Fleeting Shadow of the Cold Wind" imprint complete]

Immediately afterwards, a series of notifications popped up.

[The person being inscribed, "Lisa Wilder," has been detected to possess the Frost Embrace constitution, with extremely high elemental affinity.]

[Skills undergo adaptive transformation]

Your follower has mastered the mutated skill: Frost Dance.

Moen was taken aback, and quickly opened the panel for the new skill.

【Frosty Dance】

[Rank: Mortal]

[Description]: Lily couldn't understand Moen's crude way of detonating magic on her knees. Instinctively, she elementalized her body, like a snowflake caught in a blizzard, gracefully and deadly drifting across the battlefield.

[Consumable]: 25 MP

[Cooldown]: 10 seconds (charge-based, maximum 2 stacks)

[Skill Effect]

【Frostwalk: Lily transforms into a semi-transparent, ice-blue afterimage, passing through enemies in her path to reach a designated location (maximum distance 8 meters). During this movement, she is considered to be in a "phase state" (ignoring volume collision).】

[Frosty Path: Her path leaves a trail of frost on the ground that lasts for 3 seconds. Any enemy that steps into this path has their movement speed reduced by 30%.]

[Piercing Bone: If Lily passes through an enemy's body just as the enemy is raising their attack animation, the enemy will be instantly frozen for 0.5 seconds.]

……

Moen stared at the skill description, speechless.

Is this what genius is?

Both are movement abilities, but his [Frosty Shadow] is a simple dash, while Lily's [Frosty Dance] can not only pass through people and slow them down, but also interrupt spellcasting, and it's even charge-based!

At this moment, Lily slowly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with incredible shock.

Who exactly is Brother Moen? She had a feeling that if outsiders knew about Brother Moen's abilities, it would definitely cause bad things.

Lily raised her head, her little face tense, as if she had made a life-or-death decision.

She suddenly reached out her little hand and grabbed Moen's fingers.

"Brother Moen, I've learned everything you taught me!"

"This is a secret between the two of us, and I will never let a third person know just how amazing you are."

"Pfft, cough cough cough!" Moen almost choked on his own saliva.

He looked at Lily, who had a serious expression on her face, and his expression was quite interesting.

"Stop, stop, stop! Hold on!" Moen quickly covered her mouth before she could finish speaking.

"As long as you don't tell anyone!"

"You are not allowed to say what you just said to anyone! Absolutely not!"

Good heavens, if Alvin or his doting father Green heard this, he wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the moat of Nohanville.

[Outside Nohanville, on the edge of the Greyhound Forest]

In order to find a damage-type skill for Lily and to farm some shards, the two figures, one big and one small, once again ventured into the wilderness.

"There's a lone one up ahead," Moen said, pointing to a white figure in the bushes not far away.

It was a pure white fox with an eerie blue flame burning at the tip of its tail.

This monster is called the Snow Fox, and it is one of Moen's targets. Its skill, Azure Foxfire, is a very high-quality ranged magic skill.

"Lily, try your new trick."

"Mm." Lily nodded.

The next second, her figure vanished into thin air and then instantly appeared behind the snow fox. The poor fox didn't even have time to react before it was shivered by the chill left behind by Lily as she passed by.

"Ice pick." A headshot at close range.

The snow fox let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground, unable to rise.

[Team Kill: Snow Fox Lv.8]

Experience points gained: 11

[Gained Mortal Fragments: 1 + 5 (First Kill Reward)]

[Unlock Statue: Snow Fox]

Moen walked over and picked up the snow fox carcass from the ground; its fur would be good material.

"Come on, I'll take you to a more dangerous place." Moen identified the direction and led Lily towards a cold, gloomy swamp deep in the forest.

That's where the monster [Frost Abyss Python] often appears.

The Frost Abyss Serpent is the rare monster that Moen most wants to encounter this time. One of its skills not only has control capabilities but also deals considerable damage.

As you go further in, the trees around you gradually become sparser, and large areas of frozen soil and black silt begin to appear on the ground.

Look here.

Moen pointed to a broken friction mark on the stone.

"Ordinary snakes leave continuous tracks, but the Frost Abyss Python, due to its extremely low body temperature, will freeze instantly where it passes, and then melt, forming these intermittent frozen spots."

Lily looked at Moen with admiration: "Brother Moen knows so much."

Moen was very pleased; he had said so much just to hear this affirmation.

The two followed the trail and eventually found a huge snakeskin that had just been shed by a secluded pool of water.

The snakeskin was as thick as a water bucket and exuded a faint chill.

"Unfortunately, we arrived a step too late."

Moen touched the hardness of the snakeskin: "It's hardened, which means it's been gone for at least two hours."

Although he didn't encounter the main character, this proves that his judgment was correct; this is indeed a respawn point.

"It's alright, the monk may run away, but the temple will."

Moen put the valuable snakeskin into his backpack, then marked the spot on the map, planning to try his luck again next time.
