The next second, the whisper of the god once again flooded into his consciousness. This time, the whisper seemed very close to him, as if it was whispering something in his ear.

A series of bizarre images appeared before his eyes...

Wreckage, ruins, a fallen dragon...

Corpses, dead people, angels with broken wings...

What is all this...Leo covered his forehead.

These images continued to irritate his nerves, making his brain swell and almost burst.

But fortunately, that feeling came and went quickly, and disappeared in a short while.

Instead, there is another mysterious knowledge.

[Scarlet Piercing (Rare): This ability was developed and refined from the enchantment magic by Lady Piercing after countless deaths. It can create sharp scarlet spikes in the space in front of her.]

[The lethality of the spikes depends on your spiritual vision attribute. It should be noted that the more spikes you summon, the greater your consumption. ]

"Yes!" Leo couldn't help but wave his fist, and finally gained the ability to cause harm.

Madame Piercing's piercing made up for a huge shortcoming of his.

"And it's area damage." Leo thought for a moment and turned his gaze to his attribute panel.

He now has two free skill points.

Free skill points can be used to upgrade skills below the level of Legendary Level 1. They are difficult to obtain, and he currently only has two points.

Leo is cautious by nature, so he must keep one of these two free skill points in case of emergency.

But another thing...

The next decisive battle with the Night Demons is coming up, and the lethality of this range ability is indispensable. In this case, I might as well upgrade "Scarlet Piercing".

Thinking of this, Leo's mind moved, and the free skill point turned into a white light, pouring into the "Scarlet Piercing" and merging with it.

[Your ability Scarlet Piercing is about to advance to Legendary level, because you used free skill points. Now, you can choose the direction of skill advancement. ]

[Please choose one of the following three directions...]

[Larger range, stronger destructive power, more concealed casting method...]

"Three directions?"

Leo didn't expect that using free skill points to advance his skills would bring him such an unexpected surprise.

But after thinking about it, he felt it was quite reasonable.

After all, the conditions for obtaining free skill points are so harsh, so it is normal to have good results.

As for these three directions...

I feel that every option is good. A larger range can make him more useful on the front battlefield, not to mention stronger destructive power, and a more concealed way of casting...

"System, what effect can a more covert method of casting spells achieve?"

[Since this skill will reach the legendary level after upgrading, a more covert method of casting can achieve the effect of "not being visible to the naked eye." ]

"I see..." Leo nodded, already having a plan in mind.

Being invisible to the naked eye meant that it was impossible to defend against. Like his "Gray Mist Messenger", they were both extremely powerful old silver coin skills.

The most suitable person for Leo is someone with only 2 powers.

Why does it sound so sad...

Shaking his head, Leo sighed: "System, choose a more concealed way of casting spells."

[Okay, your skills have been advanced. ]

Another round of whispers flooded into his sea of ​​consciousness. A few seconds later, his "Scarlet Piercing" changed.

[Invisible Thorn (Legend) (Grown): This ability was extracted and developed from the enchantment magic by Lady Piercing after countless deaths. With your choice, it becomes a more terrifying power.]

[You can create sharp invisible spikes in the space where your focus is. Such spikes cannot be seen by the naked eye, and the target with lower spiritual vision than you cannot capture it by perception. ]

[Targets killed by the spikes will quickly rot and become scarlet nutrients, increasing the power of this skill until the next advancement.]

[The lethality of the spikes depends on your spiritual vision attribute. It should be noted that the more spikes you summon, the greater your consumption. ]

"Wow, it's a skill that can grow! Golden Legend." Even though Leo has amazing concentration, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this ability.

Not only is it highly lethal and impossible to detect, it can also be advanced.

If enough targets are killed, to what extent will this ability evolve?

Epic? Or myth?

This is his first skill that can be developed. It was absolutely right to let Miss Shikoti devour Mrs. Stella.

Leo was looking forward to the decisive battle that was about to begin.

"But before that, we need to distribute the attribute points."

He now has 6 free attribute points. His intelligence is currently 9 points, and after adding it to the above, it will be exactly 15 points, and he can gain new abilities.

In this case, there is nothing to consider, just add intelligence points.

With a thought, Leo's attribute points came to:

【Strength: 2】

[Agility: 15]

[Stamina: 20]

【Charm: 15】

【Intelligence: 15】

[Vision: 20]

Then, the forbidden knowledge obtained after the intelligence reached 15 points also penetrated into his sea of ​​​​consciousness.

[Ancient Language Proficiency: From today on, you can understand the ancient languages ​​passed down from the last era, including but not limited to the language of ancient dragons, the whispers of the gods...]

"Proficient in ancient languages?"

Leo didn't expect that he would awaken this knowledge and was a little surprised.

So, when he awakens his new abilities, will he be able to understand what the gods are whispering in his ears?

To be honest, Leo was also very curious about what the gods in this world were and what their relationship was with humans.

"Forget it, let's not think about it for now."

Shaking his head to get rid of the random thoughts, he got out of bed, put on his robe and light armor, and walked towards Kallen who was writing and drawing.

Following the princess's fiery red hair and slender swan neck, I peeked forward and found that she was drawing a set of armor on paper with a feather pen.

It was a full body armor, completely black, covering the face completely. The shape was violent and exaggerated, like a demon returning from hell, or a dragon fallen into the mortal world.

There were a lot of formulas and words written on the side of the armor that Leo couldn't understand.

"Is this... the armor you designed for me?"

"Ah!" Kallen was so focused that she didn't realize Leo was leaning towards her. She exclaimed, "Well, I guess so..."

Her face was flushed, and her little hands were desperately trying to block the pattern: "No, don't look at it, it's not finished yet."

"Okay, I won't watch." Leo smiled and touched her head: "I didn't expect that my little Karen has the talent to be an artist."

"Humph, after all, I am a noble and have received various artistic education since childhood." Kallen raised her chin proudly: "But the original inspiration for this armor is the dragon."

"Dragon?"

Leo remembered that Kallen came all the way from the Mechanicus just because she was studying dragons.

Come to think of it, if it weren't for the ancient dragon of destruction that fell from the sky, he and Kallen would have never had the chance to meet...

"Yes, I did not gain nothing on the way here." Kallen continued to talk to herself, "I collected a lot of ancient dragon scales. Dragon scales have the properties of being indestructible and magic-proof. After being made into armor and weapons, they will become equipment second only to divine weapons."

"I see. Thank you, my little Kallen." Leo quickly hugged the Northern Princess from behind and kissed her ear affectionately and lovingly.

It is unknown how many years it takes for an ancient dragon to appear. Kallen was willing to give such a rare dragon scale to herself, which was enough to show her love for herself.

"Alright, alright, stop messing around and go out and do your business." The princess of the northern border hummed shyly, "Go quickly!"

"Okay, okay, then I'll go see your father." Leo fiddled with her for a while before standing up and walking out of the tent.

Judging from the time, the old duke should be getting up soon, and the meeting before the war must be about to begin.

The decisive battle made Leo feel excited.

Looking at his back, Kallen curled her lips in concern.

Originally, she planned to make a long sword for Leo, so that she could save some scales for research.

But when she thought about the dangerous missions Leo had to carry out every time, she decided to build a full body armor.

If the scales are not enough, use the metal obtained from the Mechanicus as a supplement.

"As long as he can be protected from danger, anything is fine..."

Chapter 113: Madam's Plot

Winter City, Duke Telsk's tent.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The old duke's condition seemed to be getting worse. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, then pointed to the sandbox on the table and said, "At present, the Night Demon Army has arrived at the foot of the Royal City, and Logan is organizing soldiers to defend the city."

"The walls of the royal city have been reinforced by the Light of Order. It is not easy for the Night Demons to attack it. Therefore, they must have used all their forces to attack the city at this time."

"And the greater advantage is that the Night Demon Commander Calvaro is not aware of our actions. As long as we attack from the rear, we will surely win this battle."

"Now, I need a general to serve as a vanguard. Who of you is willing to go first?"

After the old duke finished speaking, his eyes, like an awakened lion, swept across the several generals in the tent.

These generals are veterans who have followed the old duke for decades, and each of them is an excellent cavalry commander.

But at this time, they did not speak, but remained silent, turning their eyes to the first row of tents.

Standing there were the Northern Princess Kallen and her knight Leo.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Leo smiled bitterly in his heart.

Sure enough, Duke Tersk’s choice was already obvious.

His old subordinates knew that Duke Telsk needed a successor, so they were willing to give the opportunity to make merit to this young man.

After all, following the Duke's tactics up to this point, the remaining battles are not difficult and all that remains is to reap the fruits of victory.

But these old generals did not dare to have any ideas about this fruit.

After all, if such a great achievement fell into their hands, then at this critical moment when the Duke is seriously ill, they would undoubtedly be suspected by the Duke, and there might be a bloody storm.

No matter in which world or which country a minister is in, the most important thing to be wary of is being too successful and endangering the ruler.

Of course, except for the Sima family.

Therefore, the fruits of victory can only be reaped by the Duke's descendants.

Since Marquis Logan is not here, the only person qualified to be the vanguard is Kallen.

Of course, Kallen knew about this.

But when facing everyone's gaze, she seemed a little hesitant, not at all as decisive as when she just met Leo.

Leo knew that her hesitation was because of him, or because she was afraid of getting hurt. So, he squeezed Kallen's hand imperceptibly, took a deep breath, stepped forward, and saluted, "My Lord Duke, I, Leo, the knight of Princess Kallen of the North, am willing to gamble my honor and serve as the vanguard this time."

Sure enough, after hearing this, a long-lost smile appeared on the Duke's face.

He looked at his daughter. "So, Karen Telsk, your knight has stood up. Can I take his words as yours?"

“I…” Kallen met her father’s gaze, hesitated for a second, and then her expression became firm and unwavering: “Of course, great Duke of the North, I will bring you victory in the war with my knights.”

"Good! Hahaha, you are worthy of being my daughter!" Duke Telsk smiled heartily and prepared to give orders.

Unexpectedly, a female voice suddenly said: "My Lord Duke, I think this war is a decisive battle between us and the Night Demon. After all, Kallen and Leo are just newcomers on the battlefield. If I let them be the vanguard, I'm afraid they will be in danger."

The person who spoke was the biological mother of Marquis Logan, the blonde knight Lady Joanna.

Today she was wearing knight's soft armor and holding a spear. She looked more like a general charging into battle than a noble lady.

Only those flaming red lips still show her unique charm as a mature woman.
