gift of fate

"Nonsense!"

Ralph was almost driven crazy by Atticas, the jester, but quickly explained, "The task is to impart my skills, as I mentioned earlier. The unique mastery I spoke of requires Jiang Han to complete the task before I can teach it!"

"Oh!"

Jiang Han realized, "You mean, besides the unique mastery, you can teach me some general skills first?"

"Exactly!" Ralph stroked his beard and smiled.

"Ah!" Hearing this, Atticas sighed heavily, looking greatly disappointed.

Ralph continued, "..."

"Ding! ~"

System Prompt: The Wind of Extinction, Ralph, has decided to impart some skills to you. Do you agree?

"Yes!"

Jiang Han decisively agreed.

"Ding! ~"

System Prompt: You have received the teachings of the Wind of Extinction, Ralph, and acquired the skill [Traceless] (S-level)!

"Ding! ~"

System Prompt: You have received the teachings of the Wind of Extinction, Ralph, and acquired the skill [Flowing Light Sword Art] (A-level)!

...

Traceless, Flowing Light Sword Art!

One S-level and one A-level skill, the general skills of the Demon God are indeed of high rank—

[Traceless] (Passive) (S-level)

Introduction: One of the unique masteries of the Wind of Extinction, Ralph, it helps the controller run faster.

Skill Effects: +50% Movement Speed

[Flowing Light Sword Art] (Passive) (A-level)

Introduction: The art of swordplay has a great impact on the power and speed of attacks.

Skill Effects: +100 Basic Attack, +30% Attack Speed

...

Tsk!

These two passive skills are equivalent to unconditionally enhancing one's own strength!

"Satisfied?" Ralph asked with a smile.

"Not bad!" Jiang Han nodded, then curiously asked, "What's the deal with having to complete a task to receive your inheritance?"

Both general skills were so powerful that Jiang Han naturally didn't mind emptying Ralph's treasury.

However...

Every mission is SS-level; it's a bit disrespectful.

In this era, who still pays attention to the difficulty of SS-level missions? He almost completed an SSS-level mission using the Forbidden Curse Scroll as soon as he entered the game!

The system has done a poor job in this regard, and Jiang Han must criticize it by name.

"If I remember correctly, my old friend has an extremely rare and special scroll that can allow a person to have two professions," Ralph explained.

"!!!!!!!"

Jiang Han was shocked, almost thinking he misheard, "You mean, by completing the task, I can get a second profession?"

He thought fusing the Dark Swordsman and the Holy Seraph into an exclusive and unique hidden class with the Peerless Stone was already absurd enough, but there's even more outrageous stuff!

A scroll to unlock the second profession!

Isn't that similar to the Scroll of Apocalypse that unlocks the second pet combat position?

"Double profession..."

Sheryl's expression changed, seeming to realize something, "You mean that scroll in her hands, could it be... she's not dead yet?"

Seeing this, Jiang Han was slightly surprised.

Even the mentor knows?

"Yes."

Ralph nodded, "I had some acquaintance with her, so I know she's still alive."

"Didn't expect her to be alive!" Atticas, who had been unable to get a word in, exclaimed in shock, then looked at Shazo, "Dwarf Chief, do you know?"

"Of course!"

Shazo's expression was solemn, "Never thought she's still alive."

"You all know?"

Jiang Han felt a slight movement in his heart, obviously feeling that this task was extraordinary. It was probably related to a super influential figure on the Tianheng Continent. Otherwise, why wouldn't they even mention her name, and the group seemed to understand tacitly?

"Isn't it normal for Sheryl to know? Do you all know too?" Ralph widened his eyes, feeling incredulous, "Dwarf Chief, can you tell me who she is?"

He was always low-key and didn't reveal any information, even in his younger days. They shouldn't know about her unless she's a super big shot on the Tianheng Continent.

"This..."

Shazo hesitated in his breath, then awkwardly said, "Although I know, I'm not very clear about the specifics. Atticas, why don't you explain?"

Ralph: "..."

"I'll explain? Alright!"

Atticas nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "It happened a long time ago, when I was still young. My father trained me every day, saying that a clumsy bird must fly first. I told him that some birds can't fly by themselves and need the next generation to fly desperately. I even scolded him as foolish. At that time, my father's expression was really something, tsk tsk, well..."

As he spoke, he looked around, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Sorry!"

Ralph supported his forehead, full of remorse, "I shouldn't have harbored any illusions about you!"

He felt that expecting Atticas to say something reasonable was too naive!

It turned out that a dog's mouth really couldn't spit out ivory.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. I forgive you." Atticas behaved generously.

"..."

Ralph took a deep breath, restrained the impulse to retort against Atticas, and explained, "The previous generation Sword God, Eastern No Moon, has some acquaintance with her. She has a scroll that allows people to have dual professions. If you go find her, she should give you the scroll."

Should give me the scroll?

Jiang Han was confused, "Why?"

"Go, and you'll know." Ralph was vague, "Rest assured, she won't trouble you."

Jiang Han shrugged, "Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?"

Won't trouble me?

Then why is the mission difficulty SS-level?

Ralph kindly smiled, "Young man, can an old man like me deceive you?"

"How about you swear on the God of Oaths?" Jiang Han suggested.

"What kind of talk is that!" Ralph reprimanded, "Basic trust should be maintained between people. I, an old man, am almost in the grave. What's the point of deceiving you?"

"Is he really almost in the grave?" Jiang Han directly asked Atticas, holding a skeptical attitude.

A lesson from the past is a guide for the future!

He won't believe anything Ralph says, not even a punctuation mark.

"Yes!"

Atticas nodded solemnly, "In a few thousand years, he'll be in the grave."

"Ah!"

Ralph sighed, lamenting, "If I don't break through to the God level, I won't live well for a few thousand more years!"

Jiang Han: "..."

"Jiang Han, rest assured, she really won't trouble you." Ralph said meaningfully, "If I wanted to harm you, why bother with such unnecessary actions?"

"Fine!"

Jiang Han nodded, "I accept the mission!"

In fact, he had his own considerations.

Betrayal of justice, if the traitor includes the Sword God, he probably missed out on something important.

Now, the task Ralph issued happened to be related to the previous generation Sword God

. Could it be a chance to make up for the missed opportunity?

Apart from that, the benefits of having a dual profession are too great, and he doesn't want to give it up.

"Ding! ~"

System Prompt: You have received the side plot mission [Visit an Old Friend] (Difficulty: SS)!

After accepting the task, Jiang Han was about to check the specific information, but two solemn system chimes rang in his ears—

"Ding! ~"

System Prompt: The situation of the elusive waves, like the eve of a storm, before the surge of the war tide, the explorers have been secretly observing. In the era where survival is impossible, ambitions are quietly growing!

"Ding! ~"

System Prompt: The third expansion of "Eternal," titled "Gift of Fate," is officially opening!
