Chapter 154: Wall-Phasing
Translator: Lonelytree
Matthew was curious.
It was a pity that the summoned creatures for advancement or mission rewards were randomly grabbed from the negative energy plane. Miss Ghost could not speak, so he had no way to know her story for the time being.
“Specters should have their own names too. Seeing how you’re floating here and there, I’ll call you Drifter!”
[Hint: Naming successful! The loyalty of the cursed ghost to you has increased to 85!]
[You have returned the right to adjust Beauty is Strength to Drifter. The Drifter is very grateful to you. The Drifter’s loyalty has increased to 95!] [The Drifter has shared her ability, “Wall Phasing Technique” , with you.]
[Wall Phasing Technique (Weakened): You can turn your body into a ghost through a preparatory action and pass through a physical wall with a thickness of up to 1.2 meters.] Warning-
When you pass through the wall, your speed will be reduced to 1/3 of your usual speed.
If you are attacked or initiate an attack while you are passing through the wall, you will lose your ghostly form.
During the process of passing through the wall, if you touch a living thing, you will also lose your ghostly form.
Every time you practice passing through walls, please prepare an escape spell in advance or ask a companion to assist you. Every year, there are mages who encounter strange ‘bullying’ during the process of practising passing through walls…
The Wall Phasing Spell was indeed a very classic spell.
Even though they knew it was dangerous, there were still countless people who wanted to learn it. With a large base, there were naturally many who were stuck in the wall.
Matthew had heard Ronan tell him a joke:
If a mage asks you to be his partner when he practices the Wall Passing Spell, it means that he trusts you without a doubt. However, it’s also possible that he’s seducing you…”
Matthew, who had read countless adult films in his previous life, naturally understood it in seconds.
At that time, he was still amazed by the degree of open-mindedness of the mages in this world.
Later, he realized that no matter which world it was, humans were actually the same.
Specters were different from zombies and skeletons. Specters were more prone to sun damage than the other two. Therefore, Matthew did not plan to let the Drifter come out during the day.
Fortunately, ghosts had their own advantages, and they could possess people.
Matthew thought for a moment and decided to let the Drifter attach herself to his backpack. That way, when something happened, he could just tap his backpack, and the Drifter would naturally appear.
When she had nothing to do, it was reasonable to let her stay in the luggage and help clean up and tidy up the inventory occasionally, right?
Under Bobo’s curious gaze, the Drifter turned into a wisp of white smoke and flew into Matthew’s luggage.
There was another important choice for Matthew.
That was, should he level up again?
That’s right, after levelling up to level 12 in one go, Matthew still had surplus XP.
It was different from Tier 2 to Tier 3. Tier 3 to Tier 4 did not require an Advancement Ceremony. Once people had enough XP, they would rush past the levelling process.
However, Matthew was different. He rushed a little too fast.
He tried to use the temperance domain to judge this matter and soon got an answer.
[Note: Due to your levelling speed from Level 5 to Level 12 in the past six months, as well as your spell learning status, it is recommended that you take a rest period of at least eight months.]
The resting period meant that he would not level up for the next eight months.
Matthew could understand this.
The level was only a part of strength. Spells and abilities that matched it were equally important. Matthew had stayed at Tier 2 for a long time. Although some spells were learned in a hurry and his foundation was not too stable, he could still make do with them.
However, Tier 3 was different. He had not learned a single Tier 3 spell.
If he advanced to Tier 4 in one go and then went back to learn Tier 3 spells, he might fall into the trap of the Law of Pride.
High -level spellcasters would often be careless when learning low-level spells.
Many times, a high-level spellcaster would not be able to comprehend the essence of spells of the same level as a low-level spellcaster.
Matthew decided to adopt the suggestion of an eight-month resting period.
First, he had to learn the spells that he needed to learn. At the very least, he could not proceed without a stable foundation.
At the same time, he also decided to plant more trees.
This was because Matthew realized that the light spots in the undead domain had greatly countered the light spots in the nature domain.
The former was about two-thirds, while the latter was only one-third. This meant that Matthew’s exploration progress in the undead domain had been faster.
Matthew was consciously balancing the two.
Not long after daybreak, Lumiere appeared beside the Bitter Water Swamp.
Matthew had not gone far. He Imew that Lumiere would return soon.
In fact, Matthew felt that Lumiere had returned to the tribe yesterday partly because he was concerned about the tribe and partly because he had chosen to avoid the Night of the Undead.
The future king of the rainforest actually had a high EQ. He could roughly guess what would happen during the Night of the Undead. As a Jango, he would definitely not feel good seeing the Abomination sewn from the corpses of his compatriots, and it was not convenient for him to destroy Matthew’s advancement ceremony.
Therefore, leaving in time was the best choice.
This move made Matthew’s impression of Lumiere increase by a large margin.
When Lumiere saw Matthew, his expression was very serious.
“I went back and asked the people in the tribe. In the past two days, a large number of outsiders suddenly appeared around the rainforest. These people came very strangely. It happened in the past two days. Moreover, they didn’t seem to be unfamiliar with the rainforest at all. It was as if they had done their homework in advance. My tribe and some tribes in the southwest had a few conflicts with these people, but they didn’t gain much of an advantage. This is very unusual. After all, the rainforest is supposed to be our home ground..”
