The light of the morning light shines.

The entire village has turned into ruins. Although many things were snatched out of the fire, many houses have been burned. There are still suppressed sobs around from time to time. People with dusty faces collect the bodies of the dead, and relatives and friends cry from time to time. This night brought them too much pain, but it also made them much stronger. The surviving militia looked like real soldiers, and they were still guarding around, guarding against the possible second attack of the Lizardman.

Just give them a little time and they can grow into qualified warriors.

Sauron sat on the wardrobe and smoked. The pipe was given to him by the militia captain. It was either high-end tobacco or a very cheap silver sack of tobacco. He put the tobacco into the pipe, lit it, and took a deep breath, then looked into the distance with a little tragic look. Last night's cruel battle reminded him of the upcoming turbulent year. In the days to come, such battles will be very common, and even more cruel and ruthless killing will come.

The pain was still piercing on his arms. The cut carrion was regenerating, and the numbness and itch and pain mixed together made his expression distort a little. He trembled slightly and took a deep breath. There was no painkiller in this world. Although he had a data-based template, he could not reduce his sense of pain. The very tough nerves he had exercised were not so easy to use before the pain after cutting the flesh. He needed to numb himself a little and temporarily forget the wounds on his arm.

"Give."

The militia captain came over, his eyes were red and red, as if he had cried for someone. Perhaps his relatives also died last night. Humans in the wilderness were very strong, just like those men from the north. The arduous living environment can always temper people's will. They would not fall down so easily, at least they would not fall like this.

Sauron shook his head and refused the liquor handed over by the other party. He just picked up his pipe and took a sip, and said slowly: "I never drink."

Don't drink alcohol.

Even if he was injured, he would not drink.

One of the arm of the militia captain was ruined. He sat down with some difficulty, picked up the spirits with his complete hand and took a sip of it, and then said, "Thank you. We wouldn't have been able to last night without you."

Sauron didn't speak.

The militia captain reached out and took a package. There could be heard jingling sounds inside, as if some coins were loaded. He handed them over with difficulty and said in a deep voice: "I know you are an adventurer. The scroll you used last night was probably your life-saving trump card. We have lost too much, so we can only use this little thing to express our feelings."

"This is the White Crow Sword I obtained back then. I have been to the battlefield in the south. Although it only has the first half, it should be of some use to you. The other money is our intention, although it is not much, I hope you can accept it."

Sauron put down his pipe with a trembling arm, and his injuries did not heal so quickly, even if he had the talent for regeneration.

He picked up the book of White Crow's swordsmanship. It was a hand-written book. There were some images that were not very clear on it, but the general moves were still understandable. Sauron pushed a small bag of coins back, picked up his pipe and took a sip, and said slowly: "I will accept this book, and you can keep the money yourself. This winter, you may be very difficult to bear. Collecting the things on the lizardman should be able to barely survive."

He turned around and looked at the people behind him, picked up his withered cane to support his body, a green leaf swaying in the wind, and said slowly: "You'd better leave today, the lizardman won't give up so easily."

"What big thing may have happened in the depths of the wilderness. Leave here and find a place to live."

"As long as people are still alive, there will be hope in the future."

Sauron sighed softly, and he raised the pipe in his hand, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Even if you pay me this pipe, I'm leaving here, you'll make a decision sooner."

He just left like this.

Many people didn't even notice him, and only a few people watched Sauron's slightly tired figure go away. He was a wanderer, and the wanderer was such a group of people.

It is not surprising that he left quietly like this.

There is no need for flowers or thanks. After doing what you want to do, you will start the next journey.

……………………

Sauron went back along the avenue.

This route has become increasingly dangerous. Before he set out, the lizards attacked the humans near the Black Gas Swamp, but now they are approaching the outer territory of Baima City. If the lizards do not stop competing for territory, a war will soon break out. These villages in the wilderness are not very concerned by Baima City, but if the villages that provide taxes to the city are attacked, the city guards and the garrison troops should be dispatched.

I'm afraid the injuries on my body cannot recover for a while, and I cannot move vigorously within at least one or two days.

Sauron was about to walk back along the road. He gained nearly 5,000 killing experience in the battle last night, which was enough for him to increase the thief level by one level or increase the wizard level a lot. He needed time to remember the spells, which would be better a relatively safe place. He was not interested in staying to help those people because they were just a chance encounter. Sauron didn't even know their names, nor did they know Sauron's name, but knew that he was a wanderer who could use spells.

The lizardman gave a lot of killing experience. The two stalkers gave nearly 1,200 points of killing experience. Ordinary warriors had about 200 points. They used shadow black tentacles to kill ogres and druids and got nearly 2,000 points of killing experience. The soul energy given by killing the caster is obviously more than 50%, but they are also much more difficult to deal with.

Finally, there is the improvement at the end of the battle:

"You defeated the night-attacked Lizardman!"

"After a difficult battle, your skills have improved a lot!"

"Use magic device +10, focus +5, listen +5, search +3, stealth +3, dodge (roll) +2, dodge (move) +1, negotiation +2, parry +2, medical +2, spell identification +2."

"You have some understanding of the expertise [spell control]!..."

……………………

The improvement of this battle is very obvious.

Not to mention the many basic skills improvements obtained, just the last specialty tip, it has exceeded Sauron's expectations.

Expertise tips.

This is a sign of mastering a certain expertise. In some special cases, you may directly obtain information about a certain expertise, and then you can slowly master this expertise after a period of training. Although [Spell Control] is only the most basic spell casting expertise, it means saving a necessary expertise for Sauron. This is of great help to him to improve his wizard level, because he does not have any specialty rewards for part-time wizards.

The first feat point can only be obtained when the wizard profession level reaches 3.

As a part-time wizard, Sauron's strength has almost not been greatly improved. He only obtained 4 level 0 spell positions and 1 level 1 spell position. In the future, he will obtain corresponding spell positions for each wizard profession level, and at the same time he will obtain an additional level 0 spell position. There are many level 0 spell positions for advanced wizards and sorcerers, and sometimes they are too many to use them at all. However, the power of level 0 spells is very small, because their orthodox name is "killer", which is an inequality spell.

Unless you are a spell caster as amazing as Vivian, level 0 spells are rarely used in combat.

There are no level 0 spells in the spell book.

Because orthodox wizards rarely copy "kill" and their spell models are relatively simple, and some do not even need time to cast spells, such as the most commonly used "Master's Hand". So Sauron has not mastered any level 0 spells yet, so he needs to go to the city's secret magic store to buy a level 0 spell transcription scroll. This kind of transcription scroll is very cheap, only one-third of the level 1 spell.

Most of them are things that only wizard apprentices need.

After a day of travel, Sauron was lucky to have not encountered any enemies. The effect of regeneration talent was very powerful. His arms were now available, but fighting was a little inconvenient. He found a hotel to rest in the nearest small town. Because the roads in White Horse City were blocked, this small town that relied on trade became a little depressed. He could hear the complaints of residents, but the tax revenue was so much every year that this little trouble could not be solved, and he didn't know when to delay.

Sauron entered the arranged room and then told the hotel owner not to disturb him.

He needs to upgrade his wizard profession level and then start learning and memorizing the first spell model, which takes him a long time and cannot be disturbed at will.

If you don’t give instructions in advance, who knows if the part-time bar girl at the hotel will come and knock on the door?

After all, Sauron is a half-elves and has 16 charms. In terms of appearance, he is also a handsome man among humans. If he doesn't have a cold expression.
