Chapter 570 - Sword Creation Point (1/2)

For a ‘Walking Library’ like Rhode, it wasn’t easy to pique his curiosity. After all, he didn’t earn this title out of nothing. Rhode had played the Dragon Soul Continent for years and he knew almost everything at his fingertips. It could also be said that he knew everything that every player knew and didn’t know. Of course, he wouldn’t be aware of the secrets that weren’t unearthed yet.

Apart from gossips, Rhode knew everything about the class systems.

After coming to this world, Rhode had met with two incidents that he hadn’t experienced.

One of the incidents was the talent tree fusion system. After Rhode activated the Hell Lord Talent Tree, the three individual talent trees fused and formed a unique talent tree, which Rhode had never seen happen in the game. The other incident was the system reward from completing this mission—the Sword Creation Point.

If the fusion of the talent trees could be explained that it was due to Rhode activating all three talent trees, then he had no clues about the Sword Creation Point at all.

Sword Creation Point?

Rhode knitted his brows. He studied the system for hours and he couldn’t find detailed explanations about it. Perhaps the point was meant for forging weapons if he was a Production player. However, he didn’t possess any forging skills, so what was the purpose of it? What is the point used for if it isn’t for weapons forging?

Rhode couldn’t possibly dig the official website and forums for any updates about the game. However, this didn’t mean that he was helpless.

Since it is the ‘Sword Creation Point’, it surely has something to do with Swords.

Gracier and Madaras were the first that came to his mind. He had been wielding them for quite some time, but they had never joined the Holy Sword Card Deck. Although Rhode wasn’t in a hurry, he didn’t feel comfortable leaving this matter out in the open. Ever since they had ridiculously transformed into human forms, they didn’t have any strange occurrences thereafter. Even though Rhode had tried pouring his spiritual powers into them, there were no transformations at all. Come to think of it, perhaps…

Rhode recalled the strange dream he had about the familiar, desolate land and the little girl who resembled Christie. If it wasn’t for her, perhaps Rhode wouldn’t have awakened the twin daggers. What relationship does the Holy Sword Card Deck have with the little girl?

However, the Sword Creation Point had nothing to do with the twin daggers. Rhode experimented with the daggers and both of them didn’t respond at all. He had even drawn out Starmark and Succubus from the deck and they were equally unmoved. He thought that the ‘Sword’ in the ‘Sword Creation Points’ referred to the Holy Sword Card Deck, but it seemed otherwise now.

Although his experiment failed, he wasn’t irritated. He had played the Dragon Soul Continent for years and he had his own ways of exploring other options. Since there was a ‘Point’, there must be somewhere for him to utilize it. As long as he searched slowly, he would surely find his answers.

As expected, he spotted the source of the problem after scanning through all his talents and skills in the system interface.

In the swordsmanship column under the character panel, there were some changes that Rhode had never seen before.

After coming to this world, his swordsmanship column had succeeded all the 12 swordsmanship skills that he had learned in the game. However, unlike the game, most of the swordsmanships were greyed out, which meant that Rhode needed to enter skill points to get his hands on them. The Moon Shadow, Starfall, and Dark Dance were the only ones among the 12 swordsmanships that were brightly lit. The mastery for Moon Shadow and Dark Dance were graded C and A respectively while Starfall had the lowest grade of E. Even though the other nine swordsmanships were greyed out, he realized that there was an empty white field. This was unusual because his swordsmanship column should have been fully used up. As a top-rated player, he was great at making use of everything. Although his EXP and masteries had been restarted, they weren’t erased. Due to this reason, an empty field shouldn’t exist.

Interestingly, the empty field was emanating white radiance. This was strange because it meant that Rhode could learn other swordsmanships, but he had never received any new swordsmanship scrolls or became an apprentice to a master. So how was it possible that he could learn new swordsmanships?
