Chapter 372: Chapter 230 Ranger and Elf Professions, Two Strange Knights_2

"Sever Tendon is a lower-level version of Throttle, and Gale Step is a lower-tier version of the official Hunter skill, Piercing Step."

Ivita nodded, so that’s how it is.

However, she had only hired these two hunters, paying them four gold pounds each month. She could not expect much from them, as long as they could take care of some foot soldiers, it was enough.

Ivita looked at the four warriors. They all explained their situations; they all came from places far away from Ambros. These four people had no wives or children, and as long as they had enough to eat, they had no other needs or demands.

The Ranger, however, had some elf bloodline. According to the resume Ivita had received, she should have a very thin trace of wood elf blood in her lineage.

She wore a blue hood, her body was thin, her posture light, and her ears were almost like those of humans, only they were pointed at the ends

This Ranger said to Ivita, "My lord, I am Cecilia Earthwalker. I have a little trouble, but I think it will not trouble you as long as we are at sea."

Ivita understood that this woman had a problematic background, she looked towards Tartax.

Tartax quickly said, "She didn’t mention this earlier, she just told me that she is a formal Ranger and requires payment only equal to a first-tier wage. I thought it was a good deal."

I see.

Ivita calculated, she paid forty-eight gold pounds a year for a first-tier professional and one hundred and fifty pounds a year for a second-tier professional.

No wonder Tartax had agreed to her.

Ivita asked her, "What kind of trouble do you have?"

After some hesitation, Cecilia Earthwalker nervously said to Ivita, "I have killed an official in the Black Mountain Kingdom and I am now wanted there."

Ivita looked at Tartax, "Is this a problem?"

Tartax shook his head, "Not really, the Black Mountain Kingdom won’t dispatch people specifically to hunt down a Ranger. As long as she doesn’t enter the territory of the Black Mountain Kingdom or voluntarily tell others about it, she shouldn’t get into any trouble."

"However...but...there might still be some potential problems for you."

Ivita knew that Tartax was telling the truth in the first part, but the last part was probably to drive the wage down.

He said to Cecilia Earthwalker, "I can accept you, but I will pay you half of the second-tier professional’s wage, after all, considering your situation, forty-eight gold pounds a year is too little."

Financial disputes are the most troublesome.

To prevent Cecilia Earthwalker from becoming disgruntled in the future, Ivita decided to raise her wage.

After all, they would probably be on a ship at sea for a long time in the future. If she became disgruntled, it would cause trouble.

On the sea, a ship is like a small community, even smaller than a village.

Cecilia Earthwalker heaved a sigh of relief, and some excitement filled her heart.

She had been worried that her wanted status would affect her chances of finding work, so she had voluntarily lowered her wage. But she had not expected the lord to be so generous.

Looking at the lord, who was young, handsome, and kind, she developed a sudden admiration for him. She felt that this was a lord to whom she could pledge her loyalty.

Ivita asked them, "What is the source of a Ranger’s power, and what skills do they have?"

"This is my first time meeting a Ranger, especially a Ranger with some elf blood."

Cecilia Earthwalker explained to Ivita, "Honorable lord, all Rangers carry elf blood. The elf bloodline is the source of a Ranger’s power. We tap into the potential of our bloodline to gain strength beyond regular humans."

"There are five tribes of Ranger professionals, the Windwalk Tribe, Earthwalk Tribe, Firewalk Tribe, Waterwalk Tribe, and Darkwalk Tribe."

"Rangers are proficient in almost all weapons, are agile in body, have some healing spell capabilities, and can control certain animals. I have learned the core skills of a Trainee Ranger, Evasion, and the official Ranger’s core skill, Energy Absorption."

"However, the highest rank of a Ranger is only the fourth level, which is only one level higher than a Hunter."

The two Trainee Hunters wanted to say something, but they held back, after all, this was Ivita’s territory.

Arguing in front of the lord would be disrespectful.

Ivita glanced at them, then corrected Cecilia Earthwalker, "Actually, the Hunter’s level cap is also the fourth level. This cap was broken by Kristin, the Red Robed Hunter of Ambros."

The two apprentice hunters thanked Ivita.

Cecilia Earthwalker was taken aback, "Lord, I’ve heard of Kristin."

"She is a ruthless assassin."

"And also a genius hunter."

"I didn’t expect her to be this outstanding."

"She permanently left her name in history, her name will reach the ears of monarchs of various countries."

Hunter Carter chuckled bitterly, "She’s just an Earl-class worker of the fourth level. How can she reach the ears of the monarchs of various countries?"

Ivita asked Cecilia Earthwalker, "What healing spells do you know? My team is short of people with healing abilities."

"What are evasion skills and energy absorption skills?"

Cecilia Earthwalker knew she was selling her own abilities, so she couldn’t hide from Ivita in this regard.

She explained, "I know the ranger’s healing magic. I can transfer life energy from my body to others, speeding up the recovery of their injuries."

"In addition, I have some surgical abilities."

She took off her cloak and jacket. Inside her jacket were numerous sharp tools in various shapes.

"With these tools, I can perform surgeries and healing spells that address common bone fractures and contusions, but they can’t remedy situations such as neck fractures."

Ivita nodded in approval. This was indeed useful.

The money was well spent.

Cecilia Earthwalker continued, "Evasion is the core skill of an apprentice ranger. It enhances our natural instinctual reflexes for evasion, making it hard for people to strike me."

"As for energy absorption, it involves drawing energy from those we fight, replenishing ourselves while draining their energy. What we call ’energy absorption’ is essentially absorbing someone’s spirit. But a level-two Ranger can’t directly absorb a human’s spirit, so we absorb a person’s energy and life force, which are derivatives of their spirit."

Ivita patted her shoulder, "I don’t care about what you did in the Black Mountain Duchy, but as long as you abide by the laws in my territory, you can stay here forever."

"Consider this your home."

Cecilia Earthwalker bowed her head in joy, saying, "Thank you, Lord."

Vampire Wilson said to Ivita, "Lord, the ranger profession is unique to the Duchy of Brittany, known for its mountains and forests."

"It is said that when the elves and Druids went north, they left a large number of people there."

At the mention of the Druids, Cecilia Earthwalker’s expression changed slightly.

Ivita had already suspected that the ranger profession had something to do with the Druids. But this did not matter because Pan God had been with him for a long time now.

Plus, he had the Druids’ Conference Ring.

Ivita then turned her attention to the last two individuals in the room with whom she had yet to converse.

She looked at the two knights, "Do you two have any requirements before setting out to sea?"

Ivita looked curiously at these two knights sitting in the corner, not uttering a word.

The rest of the people in the room looked at these two men discontentedly.

As Ivita was their lord, these two men’s silence in response to her question was seen as impolite and problematic by the recently joined professionals.

One of the knights, who seemed relatively young, was continuously examining the sword in his hand, which was trembling incessantly.

The knight said to the middle-aged knight next to him, "Father, Durandar is reacting strongly."

"There is a very evil presence in front of me, otherwise, the Holy Sword would not have reacted this strongly!"

The middle-aged knight sternly said, "Don’t babble nonsense, Anatoly Bosporus."
