Chapter 69: Explosive Bear Druid
Chapter 69: Explosive Bear Druid
Actually, this doubt had long been in Old Xie’s mind. When he first saw the Old Steward, he saw his extraordinariness. Later, in a few contacts, he used his Magic Power to probe his body and naturally reached the above conclusion. It was just that he wasn’t familiar with the Old Steward at the time, and the other party was already a disabled person who might have had a painful past. Now he certainly posed no threat to him, so Old Xie didn’t expose him. But today, from the Old Steward’s nervous expression when he saw the dagger, Old Xie knew that he probably knew the origin of this dagger. So he exposed the Old Steward’s background. His purpose was nothing more than to find out the origin of this dagger.
“Young Master, what is a pulse?” The Old Steward did not directly answer Old Xie’s words but asked with interest about this question.
“It refers to the meridians in the body. You don’t need to know too much about this.” Old Xie didn’t want to waste words with him and asked directly, “I just want to know, was my judgment correct?”
“Hehe, Young Master’s eyes are as sharp as a torch. Krishchen has nothing to say!” The Old Steward smiled bitterly. “You were right about everything!”
“Hehe, then can you tell me your origin?” Old Xie asked with a smile.
“Why bother?” Krishchen smiled bitterly. “I don’t want to talk about the past. Since Madam saved my old life, I have given up my past identity. Whether now or in the future, I am just your steward. I will offer you my loyalty and even my life. This is the oath I made with my Soul! Please, Young Master, you must believe me!” Saying this, the Old Steward actually had a trace of pleading in his eyes, as if he was extremely reluctant to reveal his identity.
After listening to his words, Old Xie could naturally distinguish the sincerity in them. Just because of this, he couldn’t bear to force him. However, not forcing him didn’t mean Old Xie just gave up his curiosity. He saw him smile slightly and said with confidence, “If I can heal your injuries, will you still hide it?”
“What?” The Old Steward was taken aback, then suddenly smiled bitterly, “Young Master, I know my own injuries. Even if the Pope came, it would be difficult to cure. I appreciate your kindness. I know you actually want to figure out how to use the Blink Dagger from me, right? Then I can honestly tell you right now that I can tell you its exclusive secret spell.”
“I am not joking!” Old Xie straightened his face and said, “I haven’t degraded to the point of using deceptive means to trick my loyal subordinates. You treat me well; I know that. I am the kind of person who respects others a foot if they respect me an inch. So, even if you refuse to tell me how to use this thing, I will help you treat it. It’s just that I want to know more.”
“Alright!” Krishchen thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, “If Young Master really has the confidence to restore my strength, then I will tell you all about my tragic experience!”
If Old Xie were still the former Little Stephen, Krishchen would never believe his words. But since Krishchen knew that Old Xie had single-handedly robbed the heavily guarded shop of the Augustus Family, he looked at Old Xie with new respect. Coupled with Old Xie pointing out the hidden dangers in his body, which had a somewhat magical meaning, Krishchen finally chose to believe him.
“I am listening!” Old Xie said with a smile.
“I actually come from the Forest of Elves and am a Half-Elf!” Krishchen immediately said.
“Huh?” Old Xie was stunned and hurriedly said, “You don’t look like you have any Elven features at all?”
“That’s because I am a descendant of Half-Elves. Both my parents were Half-Elves, so the bloodline is very mixed. However, although my appearance inherits Human Race traits, my talent is almost the same as orthodox Elves.” Krishchen explained with a bitter smile.
“Then you should be a Druid of Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts, right?” Old Xie immediately guessed.
“Yes!” Krishchen nodded, then said proudly, “I am an Explosive Bear Druid!”
“Oh!” Old Xie’s eyes lit up when he heard this. You know, Old Xie possessed the mark given to him by his mother, the Legend Rank Prophet, which had information on all professions of the Elven Race. It included several professions specifically valued by the Legend Rank Prophet, and the Explosive Bear Druid was one of them.
Among the Elven Race, Druid was the largest profession, with hundreds of branches. But generally speaking, they were nothing more than three categories: Natural Magic Druids of the natural element, Shapeshifting Druids of the transformation system, and Summoning Druids of the summoning system. The Explosive Bear Druid belonged to the War Soul Druid within the Shapeshifting Druids.
This kind of War Soul Druid was very difficult to raise. First, they had to form a blood contract with a Magical Beast at birth, making their minds connected. Then they grew and fought together. Since the lifespan of Magical Beasts was generally only about a hundred years, but Elves lived for at least a thousand years, and Half-Elves could live for several hundred years.
So their Magical Beast pets would definitely die before their masters. After its death, the Elves would use special methods to preserve the Soul and essence of their Magical Beast partner inside their bodies, officially becoming a War Soul Druid. The specific process was only known to the War Soul Druid Elders, and Old Xie was not clear about it. But one thing he knew was that the Druid who obtained the War Soul would become extremely powerful.
Originally, they had cultivated a tacit understanding and friendship with their Magical Beast partners for hundreds of years. After the Magical Beast possessed them, the Druid could directly obtain the huge power given by these Magical Beasts. Not only could the master cast some exclusive Magic of this Magical Beast, but the master could also directly transform into this kind of Magical Beast. In addition, the War Soul of the Magical Beast could be summoned out to continue helping the master fight with stronger strength than before.
Due to different Magical Beasts, War Soul Druids also differed. Generally, they were divided into three categories: Magic Bears, Magic Leopards, and Magic Birds. They were simply called Bear Druids, Leopard Druids, and Bird Druids. Among them, Bear Druids were known for their strength and defense, enjoying the reputation of humanoid meat shields. Leopard Druids were famous for their agility and precise killing. Especially the Shadow Magic Leopards among them could even use invisibility Magic, making them simply night Assassins. As for Bird Druids, although their martial power was not good, they were proficient in Magic. Coupled with their ability to transform into birds to fly, they were the overlords of the sky, and their super mobility was also very attractive.
And Krishchen’s profession, Explosive Bear Druid, was one of the most powerful types of Bear Druids. Their pet was a Level 5 Magical Beast, the Explosive Magic Bear, known for its fiery temper. In addition, since this Magical Beast was of the Earth Element, it was also called the Earth Bear.
