Pillar of Yita

After all, controlling two or three Clockwork Fairies really isn’t something to brag about if you call yourself a Combat Artisan.

A true Combat Artisan, in multiplicity of control, would naturally include Constructs fitting for combat—such as Sword Bearers, Annihilators, and Fearless Ones.

In fact, he was somewhat curious at this moment—

For various reasons, the path he was now on had somewhat diverged from its original design.

For instance, the presence of Miss Tata had reduced his investment in the path of the Construct Lord; and the rites of the Shining Sea had inclined him slightly more towards the Supreme Ones, in addition to the path of the Artisan Master; coupled with the ’Energy Angel’ and the ’Elfendo Twins,’ these two Variant constructs, he’d made some adjustments. Even he couldn’t quite define what kind of path he was on now.

The adventures in Eteliria were always like this, Invokers would never know what they would obtain next, so deviating from the original plan was a common occurrence. He was simply curious about what title the Knowledge God Angina would grant him?

A Construct Lord? Or a Supreme One? Or perhaps a Fairy Master?

At this thought, he felt a slight stir in his heart. Within the swaying carriage, a pale blue Light Page unfolded slowly between him and Hilveld opposite:

Above this form, Fang Hong could see how his attributes had changed after his level increase.

Besides innate talent—from Level 8 to Level 14, the first notable increase was a significant rise in computational ability, from the original 79 to 163. In addition to the benefits brought by the level and experience investment itself, the Skill in ’Precision Calculation’ he had learned also played a great role.

And a computational ability of 163 meant that at this level, without resorting to Mirroring Techniques or Miss Tata’s help, he was capable of controlling three Energy Angels or similar flexible constructs requiring such computational effort.

Generally, this figure was somewhat higher than what a typical Combat Artisan would have at this level, which was due to his heavier investment in the path of an Artisan Master. The more theoretical knowledge he studied, the higher the increase in computational ability.

Although for other craftsmen at this level, it was barely feasible to control two Sword Bearers—of course, this required using Mirroring Techniques. As for the Supreme One and the other Schools, it was better just to admire them.

Therefore, it wasn’t without reason that Levels 14 to 15 are considered the starting point for Combat Artisans.

As for other aspects, Perception and Intelligence were still improving in tandem, with modest increases all around. However, this attribute wasn’t of much benefit to Combat Artisans; it could, at most, be helpful when controlling Clockwork Fairies. Therefore, Fang Hong didn’t pay much attention to it.

On the other hand, due to the substantial investment in combat experience, he had finally made significant progress in physical fitness. Combat Bearing had increased by as much as 5kg, indicating a synchronous improvement in Strength and Physical Fitness, with his Burst Durability also seeing an increase, from the original 14 to 19.

As for Speed and Evasion, both saw steady growth, each increasing by twenty-one points, while Balance nearly doubled, and Agility Rating went up more than two grades, from F to F++.

In terms of Survival Attributes, due to the improvement in physical fitness, Life Points increased by 2 points, which was better than nothing, although this attribute was initially hard to enhance. Physical Fitness, on the other hand, had more than doubled to 227, and the recovery speed had also somewhat improved.

Evasion Value, mainly influenced by the Evasion bonus, reached around 120, but compared to other characters with Agility Systems of the same level, it was still insufficient.

Overall, the acquisition of combat experience from the trip to the underground of the Black Holy City did provide some unexpected gains for Fang Hong. It was just unfortunate that the blessing of the Shining Sea ritual only reduced the experience needed to learn Skills, and did not increase the total value of combat experience, so it had no effect on acquiring physical attributes.

Then the system listed various other miscellaneous items, such as the strange inheritance rights he obtained from the Grossel Family during the Dolifen incident, and a Legendary Inspiration he got from the Pale Flame when he killed an Ancient Monarch Hunter.

[Solitude] Loneliness and the throne, always betray the life of a King—

As for how to turn this inspiration into a legendary item, Fang Hong hadn’t yet found any suitable method, not to mention he lacked appropriate materials.

After browsing from top to bottom for a moment, Fang Hong silently put away the form and looked up at Hilveld in front of him.

Beneath the black veil of Miss Ship’s Officer, curious eyes were cast upon him: ”Captain, are you looking at your ’system’?” Natives, of course, were not unfamiliar with the Invokers’ miraculous ’system’.

They had always privately thought that all Invokers were naturally born Dragon Knights, Holy Chosen.

Fang Hong merely nodded.

As he looked at Hilveld, he was also looking at his full list of Skills—although most of those skills were only learned at a basic level (F Proficiency), for the first time, he felt a hint of confidence in fulfilling the promise made to this Noble Lady.
