Chapter 88: Eagle Letter
Chapter 88: Eagle Letter
With a light leap, Yao Yan jumped to the eaves of the Thunder Slaying Guild. He was planning to return to his room directly and was suddenly attracted by a sound.
The sound came from the backyard, very regular and dull.
Yao Yan gently walked past the eaves and jumped into the backyard. When he saw a black shadow in the darkness, he kept bent his bow and arrows, shooting at the target in the corner.
The agitated sound was the sound of arrows shooting into the target. The black shadows practicing archery there were shot into the target with extremely stable posture and extremely constant speed. Although in Yao Yan's opinion, his archery posture was not standard and his hit point was a bit scattered, it was definitely good to be able to achieve such a hit rate in the dark.
And... this person does not seem to have received standard ranger training.
No wonder Yao Yan found out that this man was carrying a longbow on his back and claimed to be a ranger, but always acted like a thief. This is a thief who was determined to become a ranger. A ranger and a thief have many similarities. The biggest difference is that a thief has no ability to cast spells, and thieves are not good at using bows. They are better at small hand crossbows.
Although it is somewhat similar to the Ranger, the combat power that thieves can exert in real frontal battles is far inferior to that of Rangers. Moreover, many teams do not welcome thieves. The profession of thieves gives people the impression of thieves, liars, spies, or villains. No one wants to always stare at their own wallets when taking risks. Thieves are not good at head-on battles, they just like to sneak up and get close to the enemy, and then sneak attack and plot against the enemy with a poisonous dagger smeared from the enemy. Even if they are the best at it, they are the best at striking and striking the enemy.
In terms of long detection and trapping, both rangers and minstrels can replace them to a certain extent. In the wild, a ranger is more useful than a thief. In the city, minstrels can also be bewitched people's hearts, but they will not be regarded as liars. It can be said that thieves are the least likely to find teams except for ordinary warriors with a large number of people. Apart from a small number of teams focusing on excavating relics and ancient tombs, other teams will not choose thieves as their teammates unless they have to.
It is precisely because of this that many thieves will practice the skills of a ranger or a minstrel. Once they learn to cast spells, many will abandon their identity as a thief and seek refuge with the ranger or a minstrel.
Unfortunately, the former requires strong natural affinity, while the latter requires strong personal charm, which are all characters that test their talents.
After watching silently in the corner for a moment, Yao Yan suppressed his thoughts of showing up to talk to the other party and jumped into his room gently. Although the other party's seriousness and diligence were very touching, Yao Yan did not think that as long as he put in his efforts in this world, there would be rewards, let alone that he should repay him.
What's more, Yao Yan doesn't understand the other person yet. No one in this world will be nice to another person for no reason. Even if Xiu Te teaches him to become a ranger and a magic net walker, it was just to use his power at first.
Now, he still couldn't see the reason to help that person.
"You should work harder and be more serious." Thinking of this, Yao Yan stretched his waist, and his black hair slowly curled up, turning it back into Yao Yan's long hair hanging behind his head, his sharp claws also turned into fingers, and his long tail swayed in the air for a few times, then slowly faded and eventually disappeared.
Yao Yan stood in his room again in the form of a human being. The change in perspective made Yao Yan feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
He finally understood why many druids have always maintained the form of beasts. Compared with beasts, the appearance of humans is really nothing to praise.
"Puff..." Just as Yao Yan turned into a human form, a sound of wings flapping came from outside the window. Yao Yan walked to the window and saw an eagle standing on a branch outside the window. Yao Yan stretched out his hand and the eagle fell on Yao Yan's arm. His sharp claws left white marks on Yao Yan's arm.
Yao Yan didn't care about that. He reached out and formed a small bamboo tube from the eagle's feet and pulled out a piece of paper from it. The letter was written by Xiute. In the past few days, Yao Yan and Xiute have used this method to keep in touch. Yao Yan used the ability to communicate with the eagle. The two reached an agreement. Yao Yan used food and safe habitat to repay the eagle. Similarly, the eagle was going to become Yao Yan's eyes.
After the hurricane in the Liyuan Wilderness, the properties on the wasteland dropped sharply, and all living creatures that survived had to struggle to survive. At this time, being able to cooperate with Yao Yan would definitely be beneficial to the eagle without any harm. In this transaction, in a few days, one person and one eagle had a good cooperative relationship and trusted each other more. Therefore, Yao Yan was not worried that the eagle's claws would hurt him, and the eagle was not worried that Yao Yan would do anything unfavorable to him.
The eagle was placed on a shelf in the room, and took out the dried meat that had been prepared for the eagle to eat. Then Yao Yan opened the letter and read it. The letter had no new meaning and was still rewarding their situation. Xiu Te and his team lived on the river with a magic vehicle as the center and built two thatched huts. The four of them began to practice hard. At the same time, they did not relax their vigilance, and one person remained in a state of alertness at all times. In their hearts, they also asked Yao Yan's situation and how Yao Yan's plan was implemented.
At the end, Xiu Te reminded Yao Yan that if we calculate according to time, the guild association will almost issue a task that wants the four of them, so that Yao Yan must pay attention to protecting himself and not reveal clues.
After reading the letter, Yao Yan walked to the table, lit the oil lamp, began to write quickly, and wrote down his recent situation. Finally, he asked Xiute to reduce the number of letters. If there was really something, he would use the "animal messenger" spell to convey information through the animals themselves. Such a way of sending letters is too backward and unsafe.
Animal messenger is a second-level spell of a ranger. Yao Yan doesn't know how to use it yet, so Xiu Te used this eagle to convey information to him.
The gray eagle, waving its wings under the night, gradually flew away.
I don’t know when I can transform into a bird and fly freely... Yao Yan was looking forward to this.
At noon the next day, Saul, who went to White Rock to purchase, came back early and also brought a scroll.
The scroll of cowhide is sealed with vermilion paint, and there is also a seal from the guild association, which is exactly the task issued by the guild association.
After opening the scroll, the portrait of Xiu Te and the four of them immediately appeared in front of Yao Yan.
Although limited to painting techniques, the four portraits are only eighty-point similar, it is not difficult to recognize them.
Finally here.
