Chapter 7 Magic, Delivering Messages
Because Xhaka is still exhausted.
He couldn't personally pick up a sword and teach Dorothy.
However, besides swordsmanship, there is something else that is also very important.
"Magic is essential to unleash a powerful slash."
"And to possess magic, one must constantly temper oneself..."
"While there are certainly better and more efficient ways to obtain magic, those are clearly beyond my reach."
Dorothy looked at the wooden sword in her hand, which Uncle Zaka had given her.
Uncle Zaka's voice echoed in my ears.
"When I first gained magic, I kept swinging my sword, and then after my body broke through a certain limit, magic suddenly surged out from within me."
Uncle Zaka had a hint of pride on his face when he said this.
But he clearly doesn't have much magic.
He only swung his sword twice, and even after three days of rest, he still hasn't recovered.
Dorothy looked at her current attribute points.
Name: Dorothy Cartale
Strength: 10+
Agility: 3+
Wisdom: 5+
Skill: Sixth Set of Gymnastics LV2 (14/20)+
Attribute points: 0
"Uncle Zaka said that powerful slashes require magic power to support them."
She can't feel the magic at all now.
Moreover, the method for forging magic power that the other party described was too vague.
What does it mean to keep swinging the sword? It means that once your body breaks through its limits, you will feel the magic power.
Of course, Dorothy also had no shortage of magic.
Her gaze lingered on the "wisdom" attribute.
According to the panel, wisdom can increase magic power.
If she keeps adding a little wisdom, her magic will naturally increase!
During the village's reconstruction, Dorothy would go to Zaka's place to learn swordsmanship after helping out.
In the past, she certainly wouldn't have had this much energy.
However, after Dorothy finished her work, she felt almost no fatigue, thanks to her ten points of strength.
Fifteen days passed quickly.
Zaka looked at Dorothy, who was standing in the yard, holding a wooden sword and wielding it with practiced precision.
The movements were quite standard.
But that's how it is.
I can only say that their ability to learn and imitate is pretty good.
But that's certainly not enough to become a qualified swordsman.
After all, he knew Dorothy's situation very well.
Currently an orphan, he can only earn a living by washing clothes for Mr. Lauren.
If I could be favored by Lord Laurence in the future, that would be the best way out.
Thinking of this, he waved.
"Little Dorothy".
Dorothy, who was practicing her swordplay, immediately stopped and walked up to Zaka.
"Uncle Zaka".
"Hmm, your swordsmanship has improved recently, but the celebration is approaching, so I'll have to trouble you to make a trip there, otherwise you won't be able to get back in time after delivering the message."
Winter celebrations are festivals held to bless the gods, and people all over the world attach great importance to them.
As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag.
Dorothy took it.
The texture from my hands felt like animal hide.
Animal hide letter? These aren't cheap either.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Zaka's tone was somewhat helpless.
He was already retired, after all, with Knight Lauren standing by him, he didn't have many opportunities to make a move.
But things are unpredictable.
To protect the village, Zaka once again took up his sword.
After learning that there was a capable retired mercenary in his village, Knight Lauren invited Zaka to help protect the village.
If possible, it would be best to form a patrol team.
Retired Uncle Xhaka had no choice but to return to work.
He definitely needs to tell his son about this.
Zaka believed that his son was quite capable, and instead of messing around outside, he should stay home and be a stable patrol captain.
Unable to leave his post, he had no choice but to entrust the task to Dorothy.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zaka, I will definitely deliver the letter."
Dorothy clutched the small cloth bag containing the letter and nodded solemnly.
"Wait a moment."
Zaka turned and went back into the house. When he came out again, he was holding a long, thin object wrapped in coarse cloth.
"Take this short sword with you for self-defense; consider it part of your payment for helping me."
Dorothy looked at the short sword that Uncle Zaka handed her.
Wrapped in coarse cloth, it is about 60 centimeters long, roughly the length of an adult's entire arm.
Of course, to Dorothy, this short sword was considered a long sword.
……
After officially accepting the mission from Uncle Zaka, Dorothy packed her things quickly and set off.
He carried a basket he had made himself, which contained all his food, including eight pieces of black bread.
Because of her sword practice, she consumed food very quickly.
After returning, we must go to the Giant Spider Forest to collect the materials.
Of course, the results were also very obvious.
Looking at my current screen.
Name: Dorothy Cartale
Strength: 13+
Agility: 3+
Wisdom: 5+
Skill: Sixth Set of Gymnastics LV10 (3/100)+
Magic LV1 (5/10)+
Sword Skill - Lion Slash LV5 (1/50)+
Attribute points: 0
He has gained magic power, and his sword skills have reached level 5!
On the fourth day of learning swordsmanship from Uncle Zaka, Dorothy leveled up her gymnastics to level 3, and after that, she put all her attribute points into this skill.
Unexpectedly, when this skill reached level 10, I actually gained magic power!
After gaining magical powers, Dorothy put all her remaining attribute points into sword skills.
With 13 points of Strength and a level 5 sword skill, Dorothy will feel safer on her next delivery journey.
Furthermore, after gaining magical powers, Dorothy can also use the same sword technique that Uncle Zaka used to kill the black-backed boar.
Dorothy walked onto the muddy road, feeling the texture on her back, and noticed the short sword hidden under the basket on her back. A slight smile appeared on her lips.
"It's finally starting!"
"This is just the first step in living in another world!"
Although she had only just learned some skills, Dorothy was very excited at this moment.
Even when walking on the street, she was thinking about whether she would encounter some bandits or monsters, which would allow her to show off her skills.
However, these are just thoughts.
Dorothy was quite self-aware.
My current strength is very high, twice that of an average person.
However, his swordsmanship and magic power are very low.
If he were to encounter robbers, his superior physical speed would probably allow him to handle only four or five of them.
As for Warcraft, they are even less likely to be defeated.
After all, she had no practical experience.
So Dorothy quickly put away those childish thoughts in her mind.
There is an official road leading from Lauren Village to Whitefish Town.
You'll occasionally encounter caravans along the way, so there shouldn't be any major safety issues.
Even the most foolish robber wouldn't attempt a robbery on an officially documented road.
Moreover, when Dorothy sees a caravan, she tries to quicken her pace to keep up with it.
At night, Dorothy would find some branches or similar things not far from where the caravan camped, then huddle inside her basket and cover it with the branches.
With her strength increased, Dorothy's physique improved, and she arrived in Whitefish Town in four days.
