Chapter 69 Xue Ling's Dream

"No." Lorne shook his head.

"Oh," Ianna responded, her voice clearly betraying disappointment.

Lorne thought that if he said "yes," Ianna would definitely ask to stand by.

"How many do you want? I'll go get them," the cook asked.

Lorne looked at Kovina.

Kovina thought for a moment and said, "With your talent, two are definitely enough."

"Two, right?"

Ianna confirmed it, and after the two elves nodded, she quickly walked out of the back door of the cafeteria.

A moment later, Ianna returned carrying a wire cage containing two well-fed snow rabbits.

"I specifically picked the two most docile ones, so they won't run around and interfere with your practice."

"Thank you, that's very kind of you." Lorne smiled and thanked him, reaching out to take the cage.

"The late-night snack will take a while. Why don't you go ahead and I'll save some for you?"

"No need, I can practice here, it'll be quick." Lorne finished speaking, opened the rabbit cage, took out a snow rabbit, and placed it on the ground.

on.

After Lorne took the fat rabbit out, it lay down on the spot with its eyes glazed over, seemingly asleep but not quite.

"She's really quite honest," Kovina said, drawing her hand sword from its sheath at her waist, gripping it with both hands, and assuming a ready-to-slash stance.

Lorne used his psychic senses to observe carefully, and said, "Come on."

Kovina immediately focused her mind and cast a spell, slashing at the snow rabbit on the ground with her sword.

The moment the blade struck the snow rabbit, a soft white light suddenly appeared, partly enveloping the blade and partly enveloping the snow rabbit.

The snow rabbit convulsed and collapsed to the ground.

[Kovina dealt a heavy blow to Yukito with [Merciful Slash].]

The snow rabbit has fallen into a coma.

You have learned the Compassionate Slash.

[Compassionate Slash] (Paladin)

Magic tricks, prophecy, swift spellcasting.

You can cast this spell when you use a melee weapon against a target; the attack animation will be replaced with the standard casting animation.

Regardless of whether the damage from this attack kills the target, the target will not suffer any substantial harm.

If the damage from the attack is sufficient to kill the target, the target will immediately fall into a coma and their condition will stabilize.

Difficulty of exemption = 10 + Charisma adjustment value.

Magic Enhancement:

For every +5 cast modifier, the damage dealt is increased by 100%.

Lorne used the system to check the snow rabbit's status.

[Snow Rabbit, Level -35, HP 15/15]

Okay, it seems this Merciful Slash is truly merciful, not taking a single drop of blood.

"Is it okay now?" Kovina asked.

"Okay, that's fine."

Lorne took another snow rabbit out of the rabbit cage and placed it on the ground. Then he took out a fine steel hand-held sword from his storage space and unleashed a Merciful Slash.

The snow rabbit immediately collapsed and fell unconscious, sleeping soundly.

Lorne put the two unconscious snow rabbits back into their cage, closed the lid, and handed it back to the head cook: "Thank you."

Ianna paused for two seconds, instinctively took the cage, paused again for two seconds, and then came to her senses: "So fast?"

"Yes." Lorne nodded.

"No, I don't understand." Iona looked puzzled. "Aren't you guys supposed to practice? I remember when Xiao Kevina practiced this 'slash' with the borrowed rabbit last time, we ate rabbits for almost half a year, and we even went to the forest to catch a lot of them."

Upon hearing this, Kovina's face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly explained, "I'm not a chosen one of God, how can I compare to Your Majesty?"

Seeing this, Lorne smiled and smoothed things over for him: "Chief of Staff Kovina had already taught me for a while using a dummy. I only started practicing with the rabbit after I had almost mastered it."

"Oh, is that so?"

Ianna nodded, seemingly understanding, and walked out of the cafeteria with the rabbit cage in her hand, muttering to herself, "Little Lorne has only been here a few days, right? This isn't right, is it?"

After Ianna left the canteen, Lorne said to Kovina, "After breakfast tomorrow, gather all the elves who aren't on guard duty in the fortress to the training ground. I'll hold a pep rally and clarify the rumors."

Kovina nodded seriously: "Okay, I've got it."

"Let's go sit over there and wait for our late-night snack," Lorne said, pointing to a table not far away.

When Iona returned to the kitchen area, the rice porridge was cooked and the meat buns were steamed.

Nelly eagerly stood at the food window with her tray and said to Ianna who was walking over, "Give me two more servings, Xue Ling wants some too."

Ianna knew that Xue Ling was the name of the little snow leopard, so she gave Neli three more meat buns.

"Thank you," Nelly said politely.

After finishing their late-night snack, Kovina said she had something to discuss with Ianna, so Lorne and Nelly went back to sleep first.

When Lorne and Nelly entered the dormitory, Xue Ling was awake and was squatting on the bed reading "The Holy Codex of the Elves".

Ever since the little guy saw the Spirit Codex for the first time, he's been obsessed with it, spending all his time on it except eating, sleeping, going for walks, and sunbathing.

Yang spends almost all his time reading in his dormitory.

Nili didn't disturb Xue Ling. She put the meat bun into Xue Ling's special ceramic rice bowl and then turned and went into the washroom.

Lorne walked to the window and peeked out. The page Xue Ling was reading was titled "The Origin of Beast Spirits".

The synopsis is as follows:

There is a very small chance that Saine's life will be affected by the "Divine Calamity - Alienation Curse" and she will turn into a beast-like human or a human-like beast.

Beastmen were originally a humanoid intelligent race, while humanoid beasts were originally wild beasts. Both will become half-human, half-beast monsters under the influence of the mutation curse and gradually become obsessed with hunting.

The benevolent moon goddess Iluvela bestowed her blessing, transforming the beastmen who retained their kind nature and did not become addicted to hunting into beast spirits.

Beast Spirits can freely switch between three forms: human, wild beast, and half-human, half-beast. In the half-human, half-beast form, they can determine the proportion of human and beast features themselves.

Legend has it that humans who transform into beasts can also become beast spirits through a certain trial, but to this day no one knows the specifics of this trial, only that it is indeed true.

After reading the article, Xue Ling tilted her fluffy little head up and whimpered at Lorne, "Daddy, I want to become..."

Beast Spirit.

Lorne affectionately ruffled Xue Ling's fluffy little head and smiled, "Do you know what 'extremely low probability' means?"

"I know, it's because many, many beasts have been afflicted by a mutation curse, and only a very, very small number can transform into humanoid beasts."

Lorne raised an eyebrow slightly in surprise; it seemed his daughter had learned quite a bit during this time.

Then he asked, "Do you know how many beast-like beings and human-like beast-like beings can retain their kind nature?"

Xue Ling tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head blankly: "I don't know."

Lorne patted Xue Ling's head again and smiled, "Then you can consider whether you want to become a beast spirit after you know."

"Okay then." Xue Ling nodded, seemingly understanding, then asked curiously, "Daddy, why don't you sleep with Mommy?"

Lorne paused for a moment, then glanced instinctively into the bathroom. Seeing that Nelly hadn't heard him, he replied telepathically, "Your mother and I are just platonic bunkmates."

Xue Ling tilted her head: "What do you mean by a purely platonic bunk bed relationship?"

"You'll understand when you grow up." Lorne said, quickly putting away the Elven Bible. "Your mom brought you some meat buns, go eat them."

Xue Ling has lost her "language proficiency" and "blessing of wisdom."

The light of wisdom in the little guy's eyes vanished, and he reverted to his usual innocent and naive self.

It raised its little nose and sniffed the air, then jumped off the bed and trotted happily towards the meat buns that Nelly had brought back.

Lorne plopped down on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief.

Oh right, I haven't leveled up yet.
