After signing the contract with Busujima Saeko, Kevin returned to his room contentedly.
"Master, you look very happy."
Lily noticed that Kevin had an irrepressible smile on his face and couldn't help but say.
"Is it because of the new contractors we have recruited?"
"That's about right."
Kevin reached out and rubbed Lily's little head, guessing what she was thinking about now.
"But your role is still irreplaceable, don't worry."
"Hehehe... Really, Master?"
"certainly."
Although there was a comforting tone in his voice, Kevin did not lie.
Of all the contractors who have signed the contract, only Lily, Minami Rika, and Marikawa Shizuka possess contract skills.
Moreover, Kevin does not intend to bring the contractors of the Apocalypse world, such as Miyamoto Rei, Busujima Saeko, and others, to the main world.
There is a high probability that the gods will find out by doing this, and there is no benefit in doing so.
Lily is the only person who can follow Kevin in the main world, Terraria, and between different worlds.
This is a special status that cannot be replaced by other contractors.
After the time in Bed Lord City entered night, Kevin returned to Terraria and continued to be busy.
Because of the [Terra Craftsman] skill, the ability value can be improved whenever a certain type of protective gear or weapon is made for the first time.
So Kevin has been looking for a recipe that he has never made these days.
For example, the wooden swords and wooden armor that I used to disdain, I have now made one and consider them as collections.
"Hmm... when synthesizing, there are indeed some different feelings."
Kevin looked at the copper armor and copper dagger that had just been made in front of him, and seemed to have realized something.
Every time he made a new piece of equipment, some knowledge would flow into his mind.
It seemed that even without using the [Synthesis] function, he could still make these equipment through forging.
"Is this the effect of the 'skill'? It's really powerful."
"I don't know what effect 'development capabilities' will have."
After checking the time, Kevin sorted the scattered materials into the box and disappeared again.
But he did not return to the Bedmaster City, but came to the main world.
At this time in Orario, the sky was also dark, but it was not about to get dark, but dawn.
The eastern sky has not yet fully welcomed the rising of the sun, and the boundary between night and morning is unclear.
As agreed, Kevin came to the outskirts of the towering city walls surrounding the maze city.
A graceful blonde figure seemed to have been waiting in this remote corner for a long time.
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
Without making excuses for himself, Kevin scratched his head and took the initiative to admit his mistake.
He spent a lot of time in Terraria collecting the materials needed to make equipment.
However, he also took this opportunity to briefly explore the desert, snowfield and other areas near his birth point.
After all, protective gear and weapons made of different woods can be considered new equipment.
"Um."
Ais nodded, didn't say much, just raised a branch.
"Are you ready?"
According to the agreement made at the Molten Fire Festival, she would give Kevin special combat training when she was free, as if she were using tuition to pay for the sale price of the "Sword of Grass".
"Use this."
Kevin casually threw a wooden sword to the other party.
There are also many newly made fashionable small garbage in his inventory
Including but not limited to Boreal Wood Sword, Mahogany Sword, Shadowwood Sword and even Cactus Sword.
Apart from being indestructible, these wooden swords also deal very little damage.
You can't count on it to fight the enemy, but it can be used as a teaching aid.
"good."
Ais took the wooden sword, and quickly danced with it, pointing it at Kevin.
"I need to observe your usual fighting movements."
"Try to attack me."
In fact, Kevin really wanted to say that he usually used the super thermal ion cannon directly...
However, I do think that I need to hone my melee combat abilities.
He still charged at Ais with the wooden sword in his hand.
Boom!
The collision between the wooden swords happened almost in a flash.
Ais blocked Kevin's attack with a dazzling move.
Then, her body suddenly swayed, and she used her right foot as the axis to launch a beautiful roundhouse kick like a ballet.
As her body flew backwards, Kevin saw her white thighs exposed when her short skirt fluttered.
The absolute domain tightly wrapped by the pale blue tights could barely soothe the pain of being knocked away.
"...hiss."
Looking at Kevin who was climbing up from the cobblestone floor in a somewhat embarrassed manner, Sword Girl said with a hint of apology.
"Sorry, I fought back subconsciously."
"That's all right."
Kevin rubbed the part that was hit. In fact, it was just some scratches at most, nothing serious.
Rather, he needed this kind of battle.
Only by competing with the strong can you better understand your own shortcomings and improve them.
Others don't have the opportunity to practice with Lv5 high-level adventurers.
"Go on, Miss Wallenstein."
Seeing the young man getting into position again, Sword Princess nodded approvingly and suddenly said.
"...Ais."
"Just call me Ais."
"I'm not very good at teaching others."
"So... actual combat is the best way."
Suddenly, Kevin sensed a terrifying aura emanating from the blonde girl not far away.
His temperament, originally as calm as a lake, now made his skin feel tingling!
"Is this 'murderous intent' or 'warlike intention'?"
Kevin's nerves tensed instantly, and he faced Ais with a serious expression.
"Well, that's right."
Ais slowly raised her sword and whispered.
"I hope you can feel the way I fight under this kind of pressure."
What this means is that how much you can understand depends on your own ability.
As for Ais, she only needs to be responsible for fighting.
"good--"
At the moment of answering, Kevin did not retreat but advanced, swinging the wooden sword towards the Sword Princess.
...
Ais's special training lasted for about two hours.
During this period, Kevin's progress was like divine help -
From the very beginning of their meeting, his weapon was knocked away and he was sent flying.
Eventually, he was able to fight with Ais in a decent manner.
Of course, there are only two moves.
"You seem to be very bad at defense."
After the training, Ais looked at Kevin, who was covered in dust, and gave her evaluation.
For an instructor, her comments seemed a little too blunt.
"You don't have enough skills and tactics."
"So in the following training, you need to interpret my attacks and learn how to defend against them."
"This is a necessary ability when exploring a dungeon alone..."
"Because the enemy will attack from unexpected angles and times."
Kevin nodded and kept these words in mind.
Although he has a system and unlimited potential...but Sword Princess's teachings are also very valuable.
Equipment can be continuously improved through luck and even money, but skills cannot.
One must go through hundreds of battles to hone one's combat instincts.
"I see. Thank you, Miss Ais."
"You're welcome. You're making rapid progress as well."
Ais thought about it and added another sentence.
"Sometimes, don't rely too much on 'favors'."
"Relying on ability points to crush weak enemies doesn't help much in improving your strength."
"Crush..."
Kevin was stunned when he heard this.
"But I have only just received 'God's Grace' for less than a week."
His answer made Jian Ji silent. After looking at him for a few times, Ais said meaningfully.
"I think... you should go find God to update your ability values."
