In the warm room where the fireplace was burning, the two of them sat opposite each other, both in the most comfortable position they were trapped in the sofa.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of charcoal burning.

After a while, when Blanche yawned and put down the book, she actually saw the red-haired boy opposite him reading a thick dark red cover book with relish, instead of starting to feel sleepy after eating the biscuits as usual... She raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Jen? What are you looking at?"

"Ah? Oh...a war book, quite interesting." The red-haired boy scratched his head.

"Are you interested in this?" Blanche pointed it lightly with her magic wand, and the invisible [Magic Hand] grabbed the crimson book from afar, closed it with a "pop", and flew into the air at an angle, with the cover facing herself.

"Wait! I haven't remembered where I saw it yet... Oh, forget it." Gene stood up halfway and sat back helplessly.

"The Fall of the Orc Empire, Nadley Parton...Wow, is the famous General Parton the famous 'city wall destroyer'?" The magician girl quickly sat upright, showing a look of surprise, "Where did you get his works? This is not a big deal that can be seen everywhere."

"Okay... I'm not hiding it from you, it was Oliver who gave it to me." Gene quickly confessed under the girl's gray eyes and shrugged, "He saw my special mark and took the initiative to reconcile with me..."

"Is Oliver so snobbish?"

"This is not a force, it is a cleverness. Compared to continuing to offend a strong man who cannot be provoked in the future, it is a wise choice to admit his mistakes and reconcile as soon as possible..."

"...You win, Gene, your face is thicker than the city wall, and General Parton may not be able to penetrate it."

“Ahhaha…”

After making a few jokes, Gene quickly curled his smile again and carefully took out another thing from the bag he carried with him - it was a very thin book, so thin that it seemed to be only two pages, making people wonder if he could read all its contents at a glance just by opening it.

What's even more strange is that the surface of this book emits a faint blue light, which is obviously not an ordinary item.

"Skill Book?!" Blanche was even more surprised, "How come you have such a precious thing? Don't tell me, this is also given to you by Oliver."

She supported the sofa with her hands and leaned over to look.

On the cover of the book that emits green light, there is a line of eye-catching large characters and a line of extremely small annotations.

【Vacuum Arrow】

The archer attaches to the arrow with his mental power, causing the arrow to emit a blue light, and can actively disperse nearby air, and is not hindered by the wind during flight! The speed, accuracy and power of the vacuum arrow are greatly increased, and it is accompanied by a gas explosion, which produces a certain knockback effect after hitting.

"This should be the skill of the archer!" The gray-haired girl thought.

"I can be sure of this, yes," Gene nodded, "because I've seen people use it."

Gene is of course referring to the intermediate archer Eddie.

At the beginning, blonde Eddie used a green light arrow to defeat the Goblin King in succession, making it unable to get close to the village of Door. Later, he was hit by the Howling of the Tree Fairy Queen and his mental power was disturbed... But the powerful power of the green light arrow still vividly remembered by Gene.

Comparing the description on the cover of this skill book, it is obvious that Eddie's blue light arrow is [Vacuum Arrow].

"Does Oliver really want to reconcile with you? In order to please you, I can't even give up such a valuable item?" Blanche blinked, "Skill Books cannot be fake. This thing is too expensive and is worth more than an enchanted weapon... no, higher than both..."

Gene was startled: "Really? Isn't it just a skill... Isn't it meant that you can learn skills in the Adventurer Guild..."

"You don't understand." Blanche shook her head, "It is important to learn anytime and anywhere. Some adventurers have to go deep into the monster's nest for a long distance. During the adventure, they finally mastered the previous skill perfectly and learned the next one. Do you have to travel a long distance back to town to engrave new skills? And if there is a skill book, you can immediately learn it on the spot and use it immediately... One more skill may save your life, or kill a powerful monster that cannot be killed and return with a full load."

"In addition, skill books are also the best gifts. Those big names who are not short of money always have disciples or juniors. Skill books are one of the most outstanding gifts."

"More importantly, some rare skills are not even the Adventurer Guild... Perhaps the large Adventurer Guild located in large castles and prosperous cities have relatively complete skills, but the branch halls in small places often only have the most common skills for people to learn..."

"Is the Vacuum Arrow a rare skill?" Gene asked hopefully.

He knew that intermediate archer Eddie knew this skill, which might not be rare, but he still had a glimmer of hope. After all, Eddie was also His Highness Glen's disciple! He was not an ordinary archer!

"I don't know this. I'm a magician." Blanche spread his hands speechlessly, "But if you need it, I can help you check it out. There must be relevant information in the library."

"Then please!" Gene nodded repeatedly.

———————

After Blanche left, Gene continued to look through the book "The Fall of the Orc Empire".

In fact, the reason why he was so interested was that General Patton, the "City Wall Crusher", showed one thing in a show-off at the beginning of the book - he himself was a special mark owner!

He is an adventurer warrior who naturally awakened his fighting spirit, and he is extremely talented. The warrior's mark of light should have crossed swords and axes, but what he condensed by himself was a hammer.

A war hammer.

Therefore, General Patton used his lifelong weapons, especially giant hammers made by people, and giant hammers of various shapes. He waved the giant hammers to smash the walls of many orc cities, leading the army of the Carl Dynasty to advance rapidly, and eventually smashed the head of the orc rebel leader "Gluru" into a rotten meat sauce!

The whole book mainly tells the glorious deeds of General Patton's own life, but that was not the part that Gene was interested in.

What he was interested in was the mixed and small number of descriptions of General Patton's own special mark...

"From the day when I awaken the special mark, I knew that I was destined to be extraordinary... Hammer-shaped mark, haha, this is exactly what I want! This is a man's weapon..."

"Hmph, even if my hammer mark cannot learn the skills you can only use with swords or axes, so what? You guys have forgotten that even the four major adventurer professions recognized by the mainland and the four classic marks were just created by the four legendary heroes two hundred years ago... I am different from them, but it doesn't mean I can't do it!"

"Learning skills must be progressive step by step... The first skill starts with simple learning... Haha, bullshit preaching. I am a special mark, why should I be as mediocre as you? I insist on starting from the more difficult ones, and the starting point will be higher than you, and it will be even more impossible for you to catch up with me in the future..."

I have to say that General Parton is a very conceited person. The book he wrote has a feeling of pride and show off between the lines.

But he was very fond of Gene! Because Gene himself had awakened his special mark, the more powerful General Parton was, the happier he was! And for him, it was also of great reference value.
Chapter completed!
