Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

Leo has a deep understanding of the power of expertise.

His only white-tier specialization, "Decapitation Master," grants percentage-based damage bonuses, which may seem small, but countless monsters have been defeated along the way because they misjudged his decapitation damage.

If white feats are like this, one can only imagine how high-quality green feats are.

On the second floor of the guild, there is information on available feats, but they are all white feats; there are none of the green or higher ones.

A green feat that increases mental attributes is, without a doubt, a very valuable "Church Heritage".

Leo took a deep breath; he couldn't refuse this "gift": "Ms. Cardina, I will never forget your kindness."

"No need for that. I'm just returning the favor to Captain Ge Mie." The nun chuckled. "See? If there's anything you don't understand, I can explain it to you."

"This is something I unexpectedly obtained when I was young; I hope it will be helpful to you."

Leo nodded emphatically, turning his gaze to the book in his hands.

Open it and look it up.

Before long, a brand new skill information appeared in the [Specialty] section of his panel.

[Specialties]: Decapitation Master (White), Goblin Slayer (Green - Not Achieved, Current Progress: 564/1000), Hunter's Intuition (Green - Not Achieved)

[Feat - Hunter's Intuition (Green)]: Survive alone in the wild for more than three years, or successfully hunt at least 5 different monsters (of the same tier) in a single day by yourself. This feat will be granted upon fulfilling the requirements.

"This green specialization is quite a good fit for the adventurer profession."

Leo seemed to be deep in thought.

According to the book, the effect of [Hunter's Intuition] is to enhance mental and perceptive attributes, and to obtain different additional effects depending on the completion conditions.

It has powerful effects, but it is also very difficult to obtain.

Surviving alone in the wild for three years... that takes too much time.

To defeat at least five monsters of the same level in a single day, all alone... For a normal adventurer, defeating even one monster of the same level would take a considerable amount of time.

After all, monsters aren't easy targets; they can't just stand there and wait for you to come. Tracking them takes far more time than actually defeating them.

Neither of these two approaches is easy, but having a direction to strive for is always a good thing.

Leo closed the book and solemnly returned it to Sister Cardinale.

After chatting for a while, seeing the weariness in the other person's eyes, Leo took the initiative to say goodbye.

……

Leaving the Church of Light, Leo strolled down the street, lost in thought.

"As a nun of the Church of Light, she is clearly most skilled in healing, yet she is unable to cure her own leg ailment. It seems that Sister Cardina's leg ailment is not as simple as it appears on the surface."

Leo sighed.

Unfortunately, he knew nothing about treatment and couldn't help the other person.

As his thoughts raced, he stopped in front of a blacksmith's shop a moment later.

The large bronze hammer pattern on the plaque is clearly visible.

— Copper Hammer Blacksmith Shop.

A hint of nostalgia appeared in Leo's eyes.

Several days later, he came here again.

I wonder how little Eve has been doing all this time?

With her uncle taking care of her, things should be alright, right?

He couldn't hide his emotions when he thought of the girl with the black braids who had silently watched him practice his professional skills in Huashi Village and offered him water when needed.

Back then, I was still working hard to master my first professional skill; now, I've already secured a job.

In less than a month, things have changed a lot...

Upon entering the copper hammer blacksmith shop, the clanging and banging sounds of hammering filled the air.

Leo didn't stand on ceremony and shouted, "Uncle Barov, are you there?"

The knocking stopped quickly, and a burly figure emerged from behind the gray curtain. Upon seeing Leo, Barov raised his thick eyebrows and hummed with a smile, "Mr. Leo, it's you."

"Please have a seat."

Leo waved his hand: "I'm here to buy some equipment. By the way, where's Little Eve? I haven't seen her."

"Her," Barov said, stroking his bald head with his large, fan-like hands. "Eight nights ago, I commissioned a Black Iron-rank adventure team that was temporarily heading to Valen City to take her there."

"She is very talented in magic, but she cannot grow here in White River Town. Only at the Tower Academy in Valen City can she become an excellent mage."

"Oh, by the way, before Eve left, she went to the Wild Boar Tavern to see you, Mr. Leo, but unfortunately you weren't there. She left a letter and asked me to give it to you."

So you went to Valencia...

Leo shook his head regretfully.

He missed little Eve a bit after not seeing her for several days.

As for eight days ago, he should have returned to the Western Regions by then; it was just a coincidence...

He shook his head, took the letter that Barov had retrieved from the inner room, carefully put it away, and prepared to read it again when he got back.

"Uncle Barov, do you have any enchanted equipment? I'd like to buy some."

Enchanted equipment, or just some?

Barov paused, then nodded subconsciously: "Yes, there are some, but not many, just a few? Mr. Leo, the materials used for enchanted equipment are rare, and each piece is extremely expensive, you..."

His impression was clearly still from their first meeting, when Leo was struggling to even maintain his iron sword.

Leo smiled and said, "I know, don't worry, there's plenty of money."

Barov was skeptical, but he still led Leo into the inner room.

Enchanted equipment is such a precious item, it certainly wouldn't be displayed outside.

after a while.

Under the somewhat dazed gaze of Barov, who was "shocked" by the wealth, Leo left the copper hammer blacksmith shop.

At this moment, he had two new pieces of equipment on him.

A longsword with a faint white light emanating from its blade, and a suit of scale armor.

【Sharp Longsword】: A longsword made of finely forged steel and infused with the juice of Sharp Sword Grass, possessing exceptional sharpness. Effect: Sharpness +1.

[Refined Black Armor]: Scale armor forged from refined black rock ore, it is heavier than similar scale armor, but also offers superior defensive capabilities. Effects: Weight +1, Defense +3.

Baihe Town is just a small town. Even though Copper Hammer Blacksmith Shop is one of the top blacksmith shops in the town, it currently only has these two enchanted equipment items in stock.

Among them, the [Sharp Longsword] was priced at 5 gold and the [Refined Black Armor] was priced at 20 gold, both of which were acquired by Leo.

Even though Leo had already purchased a ten-day supply of potions, spending 10 gold, he still had 70 gold left. He wouldn't even blink an eye to buy these for a mere 25 gold.

Looking at his new gear, Leo was quite satisfied.

The longsword's "sharpness" attribute makes it easier to break through an enemy's physical defense.

While the scale armor has a "weight" attribute, which penalizes his agility by "-1", it also grants him an amazing "+3" defense.

Leo tested it, and even with his full power, he could hardly break through the scales of the finely forged black armor.

The margin for error in combat has been greatly improved!

It can only be said that there are gains and losses.

Having completed his new job and upgraded his equipment, Leo himself wasn't sure how much his combat abilities had actually improved.

I feel that even if he were to take on a ferocious wolf in its prime, he wouldn't be without a chance of winning.

Today, Leo went out and did two things that he wanted to do, and both of them went well. He hummed a little tune as he walked back to the Wild Boar Tavern.

……

As night fell, candles were lit inside the tavern.

Leo, having tidied himself up, stepped out of his room.

He put on a plaid shirt, tucked his trousers neatly into his ankle boots, and looked sharp and energetic, shedding his usual ruggedness and unruliness as an adventurer.

Since you're going to a banquet, you should pay attention to your appearance.

As soon as the door opened, Yotsuba was already waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing him, the maid's eyes glazed over for a moment. Then, as if remembering something, she tilted her head slightly and whispered, "Big Radish... Mr. Leo, Mother is already upstairs waiting for you."

Hey, hey, hey, I heard those three words "big radish" very clearly! What does that mean?!

Leo thought to himself that he was complaining, but he didn't pursue the matter. Instead, he followed the maid to the top floor of the Wild Boar Tavern.

However, the two had only taken a few steps up the wooden stairs when they heard hurried footsteps behind them.

Leo turned his head to look.

What first came into view was a dazzling white wave, and then the girl's anxious face.

It's Miss Sanhua.

"Mr. Leo, something's happened!"

"Captain Gomez has sent back an emergency distress signal via carrier pigeon."

What?

Leo's pupils constricted.
