These Wind Elements would sway around William as he breathed in and out. They seemed to like William very much. That was the effect of William’s affinity with the Wind Elements.
William also noticed that there were some dark red-light spots around him. However, the dark red-light spots would disappear whenever William wanted to look more closely.
William had a feeling that these dark red-light spots might be the Fire Elements. It was just that their affinity between them was not high enough, so William would not be able to get close to them. He could only feel them.
William might obtain affinity and control the elements just like the Wind Elements if he had the chance to steal the Endowed Supernatural Ability related to Fire Elementals in the future.
“There are still too few attacking skills at the moment, but I might be able to try some combo skills.”
William thought to himself. He had often played video games in his previous life. Many of the skills of the characters in the game were not powerful, but the power would be multiplied if each skill were used reasonably and combined to attack. He could even kill the opponent with a combo.
What he could use in a combo at the moment was…
William looked through the few Endowed Supernatural Ability on the interface, and finally, his gaze fell on Wind Control and Dragon Breath.
Wind could assist fire, and Dragon Breath was also a type of fire. If the two were used as a combo.
William had an idea and wanted to give it a try, but it was not the time. He could only wait to test it when he was alone.
However, the combo skill was only a way to improve his attack skills for self-protection. William knew that his greatest reliance was not on the combo skill, but the Stealing System. He could only constantly improve his strength and steal powerful Endowed Supernatural Abilities to increase his skills and combine them to become the strongest Endowed Supernatural Ability.
Why would he need a combo skill then? The world’s color might even change in one wave from him at that time. No one would be a match for him then.
Then, he could steal every category of Endowed Supernatural Ability, especially the Summoning Category.
William had always coveted Martin’s Endowed Supernatural Ability. It was equivalent to having an extra storage space. He would not have to go through the trouble of having to carry a backpack if he went to the wilderness again.
It wasn’t just the Summoning Category Endowed Supernatural Ability. There were other Endowed Supernatural Abilities like Combat Endowed Supernatural Ability, Medical Category, Future-Reading, After Service, and so on. In the end, William alone was equivalent to an adventurer team, and his team was the best of the best.
Suddenly, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the back of his neck by a needle.
William suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside.
The wilderness was still the same. The corpses were casually discarded by the roadside. Something flashed past in the shadows of the depths of the forest.
William could feel that something had been spying on him in the dark just now, but now it was hiding.
He did not like this feeling very much. He got up, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and walked to Mr.George’s side to sit down.
The galloping carriage was unusually stable. It could make the people riding on it feel as if they were walking on flat ground. That was all thanks to the special forging technology of this expensive carriage.
“Why don’t you rest for a while?” George asked when he saw his student walking out of the carriage.
William pointed at the corpses on the roadside and asked, “Mr. George, so many people were just abandoned there?”
“Pfft!” Martin, who was driving the carriage, seemed to have heard a joke and sneered mockingly.
After George pushed Martin to ask him to keep quiet, he turned to William and explained, “Most of these people are adventurers. Adventurers disappear every day in the fortress. Maybe they were swallowed by monsters, or maybe it was a grudge between adventurers, or maybe it was just because of a gold coin. Unless the family members of these corpses were extremely rich, and they would find people who specialized in picking up corpses to look for them. However, who would be able to recognize them, with so many beasts gnawing on them?”
George patiently explained a simple truth to William. The world didn’t need a portrait of the dead.
There was no need for ashes or cemeteries to mourn the dead.
George felt that William might choose to be an adventurer in the future. It might make William hesitate or even dismiss the idea if he said something cold-blooded.
Adventurers were one of the most dangerous jobs. The pay and reward were out of proportion. Maybe one would lose his life in it, but in return, they got the compensation that only cost three silver coins.
George did not want his students to become adventurers.
However, that was not something he could decide. He could not be responsible for William’s future choices. He could only try his best to tell William some experience and truth so that William could be calmer when he made a choice.
However, for William, adventurers were just a way for him to steal from monsters. It was not a choice that he was forced to make.
William looked at the bones by the roadside and asked, “Isn’t this place very close to the fort? Moreover, the military camp is located outside the fort. Why are there so many people being attacked by the monsters?”
Martin was just about to sneer when George noticed it in advance and pushed him.
Martin rolled his eyes when he was stopped from showing his disdain. He raised his horsewhip in dissatisfaction and whipped the horse’s butt.
“It’s just a fluke.” George pointed at the bones on the side of the road and said, “These people thought that it was safe to walk here, so they let down their guard. Little did they know that the safest place is the most dangerous place. Today, I will teach you another lesson.”
As George spoke, he stood up. He was tall and slender. He turned his head and pointed in the direction of the desert.
“That place is a place that everyone knows is dangerous. There are monsters hidden underground waiting for an opportunity, and there are also countless treasures. The rookie adventures will start to think about how to enjoy themselves and how to spend the gold coins when they arrive here after they have obtained the treasures and are ready to return to the fort.”
At this point, George shook his head and sighed. “But this is also the wilderness. The rookies have forgotten that the wilderness represents danger and they are invisible. Therefore, they have lost their vigilance and are destined to lose their lives.”
William could not help but ask, “Then aren’t we in danger now?”
George’s gaze was deep as he looked into the forest.
“Danger is often around us.”
As his voice fell, a green light flashed across the forest.
William immediately stood up and was pressed on the shoulder by Mr. George.
“Be patient. The identity of the hunter and the prey is just a thought in the wilderness.”
William felt relieved after hearing George’s deep voice.
William nodded heavily and looked at George with gratitude in his eyes.
The teacher in front of him, whom he respected very much, did not give up on him even though he knew that William had awakened the Endowed Supernatural Ability of the lowest rank. Instead, he encouraged him and taught him in another way.
Only such a teacher was worthy of respect.
As Martin ride the carriage, he curled his lips in disdain.
He had been an academy teacher about the same time as George. It was just that the way they taught their students was different. Therefore, the two of them looked down on each other. However, both of them got along relatively peacefully because their strengths were almost at the same level.
