Grand Knight Passive Skills System

During the time he was hiding in the narrow crevice, Tree Devil Valley had accumulated a few thousand Tree Devil. The level of the Tree Devil was around level 12, and every single one of them was equivalent to killing monsters above level 9, giving him plenty of experience.    

    

At that time, the situation was critical, so he did not take a closer look. Now that he thought about it, with so many Tree Devil, he had levelled up four times in a row.    

    

From level 9 to 13!    

    

Unfortunately, even after breaking through the bottleneck of level 10, he still didn't obtain the job skill he was looking forward to. It seemed like he could only go to Qiluo City and find a skill mentor to learn.    

    

The increase of Level 4 gave him an additional 12 Attribute Points.    

    

As for Attribute Points, he had never set strict requirements. After thinking for a bit, he finished allocating the attribute points.    

    

6 points for Agility and 6 points for Constitution.    

    

He treated himself like a warrior.    

    

Because he had the Heaven's Chosen One's additional 3 points in each level, there was nothing wrong with his choice. While improving his physical fitness, he did not lose out to his magical attributes. He could proudly say that he had dual cultivated in both magic and martial arts.    

    

After leaving Tree Devil Valley, he headed northwest, preparing to bypass the danger zone marked red on the map.    

    

...    

    

Not long after, his stomach suddenly began to grumble. He was hungry. Due to the explosion, all the food he stored was burnt to a crisp.    

    

He had to find something to eat. Just as he was thinking about what to eat, he frowned. Suddenly, the sound of weapons clashing rang out from the distant mountain forest.    

    

Someone was fighting!    

    

The sound of battle should not have come from the transport team earlier, because this road was completely different from their destination.    

    

With that fatty's personality, he wouldn't take this long road. Then who would be fighting?    

    

He decided to go and take a look.    

    

In such deep mountains and forests, information was very important. If one ran away after discovering any movement, he might be mysteriously killed on the way. Only by constantly paying attention to the surroundings and secretly observing would one be able to discover which areas were dangerous and which areas needed to be escaped in advance.    

    

Not to mention, opportunities were everywhere in the wilderness. Who knew if it would be a fight over the descent of a secret treasure, perhaps he would be able to get a share of it.    

    

He hid himself and rushed to the source of the sound.    

    

Hiding behind the tree, he observed the battlefield and kept it all in his eyes.    

    

It was not the emergence of the treasure that he was looking forward to. It was just that a small group was surrounded and attacked by Devil Beast.    

    

The small group had a total of twenty people. Although the number of people wasn't small, compared to the Mercenary Group that was escorting the transport team, it was nothing.    

    

This should be a team of Mercenary Group. Twenty people were wearing armor, but they were not well-made. They were very messy, and they had all kinds of armor on them.    

    

This was the standard equipment of an ordinary small Mercenary Group. There was no choice but to wear whatever equipment they dropped.    

    

The small Mercenary Group did not have a complete configuration. Out of the 20 people, there were nine Warriors, five archer, four Thieves, and two Priests.    

    

They did not even have a violent turret like a Mage to deal damage. It could be seen that they were not strong enough to join the Mercenary Group. No Mage was willing to join.    

    

What surrounded them was a kind of Devil Beast that looked like a pangolin. Its body was covered in a layer of hard black skin. It was extremely hard. When a warrior's blade slashed at them, it didn't cause any damage. Basically, they could only use skills to cause a large amount of damage and kill the Devil Beast. When there were no skills, he could only wait for the cool down time and slash horizontally.    

    

Using the gap, he threw out the Investigating Skill, which he had hidden behind the tree, and successfully obtained the information.    

    

Iron Armored Beast: Level 15 Normal. The Devil Beast covered in iron sheets had an astonishing defensive power. HP: 110 / 110    

    

The attack power of the Iron Armored Beast was not high, or it could be said that the defensive power of the Warriors was very high. The damage caused by the Iron Armored Beast could be recovered very quickly by the Priest.    

    

Although the efficiency was slow and it was very difficult to fight, the Mercenary Group's side should not have any difficulty winning. It was just that after the battle ended, the mana consumption would be higher.    

    

He shook his head and prepared to leave.    

    

The battle here was not so difficult that he needed to lend them a hand. Naturally, he did not have the leisure to meddle in other people's business to help them. Furthermore, it was not certain whether it would be good or bad if he got involved with such a large group of people.    

    

There were many things to do in the depths of the mountains where profits were forfeited. It was best to hurry on the road as soon as possible.    

    

Before he could turn around, the System's voice rang in his ears.    

    

"[Ding! The Grand Knight passive system has forcefully accepted the quest - Escort.] Escort: Escort Saber Mercenary Group back to Qiluo City safely. Mission failure condition: More than half of the Saber Mercenary Group members. Reward: 300 experience points from the knight branch of Justice. Failure Punishment: Retrieve the knight branch of Justice. Retrieve the passive status of the knight branch of Justice."    

    

What the f * ck!    

    

Seeing the punishment of failure, he almost spat out the acid in his stomach.    

    

What the hell was going on? Why did he take back the knight branch so easily? Didn't he know how difficult it was to complete the mission? This passive system was too much. The punishment for failing any mission was so terrible.    

    

Fortunately, the reward for the quest was quite generous. It was a total of 300 Justice knight branch experience points, which was enough for him to level up to level 3.    

    

A level 2 upgrade represented 2 skill points. After obtaining the summon that mainly focused on long-range attacks, he became more and more interested in the Knight of Justice's "Halo of Strong Strike." The halo that increased group attacks could increase the strength of all his summoned creatures by a whole level.    

    

He had to accept this mission.    

    

He put away his thoughts of leaving and started to carefully observe the Mercenary Group.    

    

According to the system prompt, the Mercenary Group in front of him should be the Saber Mercenary Group. Its strength was very ordinary. Facing a group of level 15 magic beasts, it was very difficult for them to fight. This was probably all of their strength.    

    

The strength of the team members should be around level 15. Among them, there was a man who stood out and continuously gave orders. Mercenary Group attacked, retreated, healed, and defended because of his orders.    

    

This man should be the number one figure of the Saber Mercenary Group, the leader.    

    

The leader of the Saber Mercenary Group was over 30 years old and his appearance was not outstanding. As an archer wearing leather armor, he looked very capable. When the bowstring in his hand was drawn, it caused a large amount of damage to the Iron Armored Beast.    

    

Since they were going to escort them safely to their destination, it was best to attack the inner area of the Mercenary Group. This way, they could protect them at any time, and it wouldn't be surprising for them to stand out in the face of difficulties.    

    

Otherwise, if they were to encounter an emergency, it would be too dangerous to warn or help them as strangers. Who knew what kind of trouble they might encounter?    

    

Moreover, once they entered the Mercenary Group, they would be able to enjoy some special benefits, such as eating and drinking, or rest in peace when someone was standing guard.    

    

Unlike now, he spent every night thinking about a place where he could sleep in peace. Food was also a troublesome problem.    

    

Thinking about it, it was pretty good to follow the Mercenary Group to Qiluo City. He put away the thoughts of farming monsters along the way and took out his scepter to prepare for battle.    

    

The Mercenary Group was currently under attack. It was the best opportunity to integrate into the inner circle.
