Chapter 55
The goblin's clothes were tattered, but Luo En still found some scattered magic stone fragments in its pockets; it seemed it really made a living by selling information and participating in robberies.
Besides that, there were some messy small items—a few scattered gold coins, a rusty small knife, and even some shriveled dried meat.
Just as he was about to give up, his fingers touched a hard and cold object; it was an exquisite silver pocket watch, carefully hidden by the goblin in its inner lining pocket.
The surface of the pocket watch was engraved with complex patterns. Although covered with a layer of dust, one could still see its extraordinary craftsmanship.
Luo En's mental power instinctively probed toward the pocket watch, but was surprised to find that this item was actually actively responding to his probe, just like a long-dormant creature suddenly being awakened.
A peculiar energy fluctuation emanated from the pocket watch, forming a certain resonance with his mental power, making a sense of inexplicable intimacy arise in his heart.
"What is this?" Andre walked over, looking curiously at the pocket watch in Luo En's hand:
"It looks quite valuable; it must have been stolen by this goblin before."
Luo En did not answer immediately but focused on feeling the energy fluctuations coming from the pocket watch in his hand.
This energy was different from any magic power he had come into contact with before; it was purer, more... intimate, as if touching something that had a deep connection with himself.
Just then, a faint light that only he could see flashed on the pocket watch, and immediately after, a prompt popped up on the transparent panel in front of him:
【Detected "Rare Antique"—Pocket Watch of the Time Guardian (Pending Activation)】
【Effect: Can reset the user's current state, limited daily usage】
【Note: "Rare Antiques" are witnesses of history, usually possessing powerful and unique effects, and have the potential to advance to "Glorious Heritage" after meeting conditions】
Luo En's heart shook, and the joy was almost impossible to suppress, but on the surface, he still maintained that calm and composed attitude.
He never expected that he would find such a precious item on a thieving goblin—a "Rare Antique"!
So-called "Rare Antiques" are actually special items in the game, each possessing various incredible effects.
But most importantly, "Rare Antiques" are deeply bound to the game's job transfer mechanism.
Some particularly powerful professions (usually high-level professions of three stars or above) require specific job transfer materials to unlock.
And these job transfer materials are the "Glorious Heritage" that "Rare Antiques" advance into.
After completing the job transfer, "Glorious Heritage" will also transform into the exclusive weapon for that profession, constantly evolving with the player's professional advancement, always maintaining powerful combat strength.
Not to mention the possible future advancement, the state-resetting function possessed by this "Pocket Watch of the Time Guardian" was already more than enough for him right now.
However, although he was very curious about how to reset his own state, now was definitely not the right time.
"This pocket watch looks pretty good; it should be an antique." Luo En answered calmly while putting the pocket watch into his bosom, pretending not to know its true function:
"Although the collection value is greater than the practical value, taking it back is better than leaving it here."
Andre nodded; he was a smart man and didn't ask any more prying questions.
And their primary task now was to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, to avoid further complications.
"We have to leave quickly." He glanced at the last half-orc still twitching on the ground and stepped forward to deliver another blow to its vital point:
"Although your spell is strong, I'm not sure if these mercenaries have other forces behind them; perhaps more trouble is already on the way."
Luo En certainly wouldn't object and quickly packed up the magic stone fragments on the ground.
The two walked quickly away and disappeared into the complex streets of Lizard Alley.
On the way back, all his thoughts were focused on that unexpected gain—the "Pocket Watch of the Time Guardian."
"If there's one, there's two. If similar 'Rare Antiques' are scattered throughout this vast world..."
Luo En pondered secretly, his fingers subconsciously stroking the silver pocket watch in his bosom:
"Then my master goal list has added another item. I was wondering how to transfer to professions above three stars without specific items, but now it seems there's no need to worry."
With such thoughts, he followed Andre out of Lizard Alley and walked toward the apprentice dormitory area.
Walking out of the complex streets of Lizard Alley, the two tacitly chose a secluded path to return.
Andre looked at the darkening sky and suddenly sighed.
"What a pity, I couldn't find Sun Grass in Lizard Alley today. I received news a while ago that someone was selling this extraordinary plant here."
He said with some regret: "If we could collect some, the cultivation speed of our Corona Breathing Method would be faster."
Luo En nodded: "That kind of plant is indeed precious. It is said that many light-heat spells also need it as a casting medium. It's estimated that it was bought by someone who knew its value as soon as it appeared, so it's not strange that we didn't find it now."
The two continued to move along the forest path, the withered leaves under their feet making a slight rustling sound.
Luo En's thoughts had already drifted to a further place, recalling the various knight advancement routes Andre had mentioned, as well as the rare antique he had unexpectedly gained.
"Speaking of which..." He suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a bit of curiosity:
"How much do you know about knight advancement routes? For example, Bloodline Knight, Demon Hunter, or Magic Swordsman?"
A flash of extremely complex emotion crossed Andre's eyes, and he said with a hint of teasing:
"You asked the right person. If you had come to me to ask about these extraordinary knowledge before, I would have charged an extra fee."
He looked around to ensure no one was eavesdropping, and then continued: "The three main advancement routes have their own characteristics and requirements."
"Bloodline Knight is the most traditional and safest route, mainly enhancing strength by awakening and strengthening the extraordinary bloodline in the body. Everyone has various ancient biological bloodline residues hidden in their bodies; the cultivation of a Bloodline Knight is to awaken and utilize these powers."
Luo En was about to nod in response when a semi-transparent information panel suddenly flashed before his eyes:
【Professional advancement information unlocked: Bloodline Knight (Two Stars)】
【Job transfer conditions:
1. Constitution attribute reaches 2.0
2. Breathing body-tempering reaches Proficient
3. Basic Swordsmanship reaches Proficient √
4. Complete Bloodline Awakening Ceremony】
【Characteristics: Bloodline Excitation, Constitution Enhancement, Life Burst】
Tomorrow the recommendation list will change, and there will be a PK for follow-up reading. I beg everyone who can follow up to help the author get the follow-up reading to the latest chapter tomorrow. I'm really anxious because the results aren't good. Thank you very much.
