Kana looked at this brand-new page related to skills.
Just like in a game, it is divided into passive and active.
Passive means it takes effect automatically, with no skill level increase possible.
Active requires active release, and long-term use will increase its skill level.
Although slightly different from a game, after all, this is just a skill system, not a profession system.
In the game, skills and the profession system are bound together. The reason for not doing it all at once and building a profession system is that a single Creation Stone Fragment is clearly insufficient to directly construct a profession system.
Of course, there are some adjustments based on reality, but generally, they are similar.
Like the skill level.
They are roughly divided into 5 levels, from easy to difficult:
Apprenticeship, Mastery, Proficiency, Master, Grandmaster.
And looking at this skill set, the Blood Magic I previously could neither use nor grasp has now directly manifested.
Slowly raising his hands, he could feel the flow of magic power, veins bulging on his arms, distinct and visible.
And on the skill bar, the skill level also increased a bit.
After experimenting with various skills, Kana had an idea.
It feels easier to use than before without a skill page, or is it more firmly grasped?
An indescribable experience, only to be felt personally.
This time's gains are extremely important in every sense.
Now it's time to organize these final, relatively less important gains.
Kana looked at the pile of items on the table.
Picked up the Space Waist Bag and loaded various alchemy materials into it, these alchemy materials and some alchemical tools are temporarily unusable.
But they are surely a way to rapidly strengthen one's abilities.
At this point, only the Knowledge Crystal, Silver Round Shield, and Metal Sphere were left on the table.
First, Kana picked up the Knowledge Crystal and infused it with the little remaining magic power in his body.
It can only be said that it is indeed a crystal, preserved very well.
As magic power poured in, the crystal emitted a faint radiance, and the knowledge within flowed into Kana's mind along with the magic power.
However, this knowledge is merely knowledge, and Kana would not instantly learn it but rather remember it.
He wouldn't... hmm?
He seemed to understand some of it? Logically, it shouldn't be like this.
As the basic knowledge related to alchemy entered his mind.
Kana opened his eyes, looking at the now dim crystal in his hand, it was already useless.
He opened his skill bar.
Sure enough, a new skill had been added under active skills.
[Basic Alchemy - Metal]
[Skill Level: Apprenticeship (0/100)]
[Special Effect: Able to perform magic alchemy on metallic items, creating them with "magic transformation."]
[Introduction: The metal alchemy school within alchemy is the foundational skill of all schools related to metal.]
This skill, if it were in the game, would be categorized under the Secondary Profession System.
If selected when there is no profession and secondary profession system, all skills were grouped together.
But in any case, by directly using the Knowledge Crystal, I could directly use it.
Based on the normal circumstances in reality, it's impossible for such a thing to occur, the Knowledge Crystal merely embeds the knowledge into the brain.
Especially this kind of knowledge that requires hands-on practice, it needs to be practiced step by step to be considered learned.
Now with the skill system, this knowledge was directly studied in the simplest way.
This means Kana can now directly take action, even though there is a high possibility of errors and failures.
But in such errors and failures, his skill level will rapidly increase.
Compared to an actual Alchemy Apprentice, his progress will increase by tenfold or even dozens of times.
With only a little magic power left, Kana looked at the remaining shield and metal sphere.
He could only wait for his magic power to recover tomorrow before datafying them.
There is also the Puppet Master's experimental manual.
Time is needed to learn it, after all, this does not include a Knowledge Crystal.
Blood Magic, Alchemy, Puppets.
So busy, not to mention the fact that I'm currently not safe.
Rein and Kecha returned to the front line last night. If nothing unexpected happens, Blake is likely to be sent to the front line as well.
After all, Blake is a Level Three Knight. Having him by Kana's side is truly a waste; the front lines need someone with such competence.
If Blake is called to the front, it indicates the front line is in a dire situation.
Will the Count consider my opinion?
Honestly speaking, Kana is a little worried, primarily because of his status.
He is, after all, the Fourth Prince of the royal family, and in the eyes of most nobles, a seemingly worthless prince.
In such a crisis situation, the Count cannot possibly trust him, or trust him entirely.
However, his actions in the past few days should reach the Count's ears, which might at least slightly alter the Count's perception.
The outcome Kana could accept would be the Count giving him a certain degree of autonomy, at least allocating some manpower to build rafts.
He's not hoping to command the entire town.
Given the time, if the frontline becomes unfavorable, the Count will likely start retreating while fighting, continuously pulling back the defense line.
Eventually, a major battle will be fought in front of Riverbend Town.
It is foreseeable that, within a few days, small squads of Blood Race reconnaissance units will begin to roam around the town and its surrounding area.
The Blood Race loves to use a combination of two Ghouls and one giant bat, dispersing numerous such reconnaissance teams throughout various regions.
Interceptions are impossible, and these reconnaissance teams will wreak havoc on everything they encounter.
Looking at the experience bar, just a bit more to level up.
Kana decided to continue his training.
As for more Void creatures or external intruders.
These are issues to consider later; the most immediate threat now is the Blood Race right in front of him.
