Chapter 70 Meditation Training

Dorothy quickly figured out how to allocate her attribute points.

First, upgrade your basic elemental magic to level 10, and use the attribute points before that to increase agility.

Because the Agility attribute can increase one's coordination ability, giving one greater control over magic.

At the same time, he practiced breathing techniques and picked up the sword skills he had fallen.

Depending on the situation, we may need to allocate attribute points to sword skills later.

As for how to interpret it, we'll have to wait until we reach the Resilient Forest to discuss that.

Thinking of this, Dorothy crawled over and sat down next to Elor.

"Elor, how much longer until we reach the Toughwood Forest?"

Elor took the map out of her storage space and glanced at it.

"It's only a two-day journey."

"Okay, I understand." Dorothy nodded.

This way, only two attribute points are allocated, and it doesn't matter where they are added.

Once we reach the Resilient Wood Forest, we'll see if our control over magic is up to par.

If you can't cast spells, then start improving your sword skills.

From now on, it will be up to me to protect the two magicians, Elor and Lyons, in that place full of criminals.

Furthermore, my sword skill only needs 11 points of proficiency to reach level 11.

With a little effort, it's not impossible to do it in two days!

I'll just stay up all night!

Dorothy was also relieved that as long as she put in some effort, the skill proficiency on the panel would increase, and even if she didn't use the skill again afterwards, the proficiency wouldn't decrease at all.

This allows her to gain something every day, or do something that might improve her proficiency in a certain skill.

Although the improvement is very small.

The problem now is that they are in motion.

It's impossible to use sword skills inside the carriage.

"If I practice swordsmanship through meditation, will that work?"

Come on, it's time to show the power of my brilliant mind!

In this way, while traveling, one can continuously reinforce and deepen their understanding of swordsmanship through meditation. During rest periods, one can disembark and practice swordsmanship.

Besides, even if it's useless, just consider it as resting with your eyes closed.

That seems like a good idea.

So Dorothy quickly sat cross-legged and closed her eyes.

As she focused her mind, she imagined herself in a dark space, recalling the weight of the longsword in her hand.

Then, he swung his sword!

Wielding a sword in her imagination still felt a little awkward. But given the limited circumstances, Dorothy continued to imagine.

He swung his sword and slashed.

Although Uncle Zaka is an old mercenary, his swordsmanship is not particularly advanced.

From attacking to dodging, it's not complicated.

It's time to rest in the evening.

Dorothy looked at her panel.

【Sword Skill - Lion Slash LV10 (90/100)】

It's improved!

Dorothy was pleasantly surprised to find that her proficiency had increased from 89 to 90 points.

It only improved by a few points in a whole day.

But it's the same as free!

He didn't even actually hold the sword; he just kept imagining himself wielding it and slashing in his mind.

Elor stopped the carriage, untied the camel, and led it aside to graze on the grass.

I also took out an iron pot from the storage space, ready to start a fire and cook.

Then she saw Dorothy take out her longsword and stand in the open space, waving it around.

"Dorothy, are you still practicing swordsmanship?"

Elor found it strange.

Since arriving in the City of Apprentices, Dorothy has not practiced swordsmanship.

Elor thought she had already given up.

Even if he hadn't given up swordsmanship, after such a long time without touching a sword, his feel for it must have become rusty.

Leonce pulled a neat bundle of dry firewood from the back of the carriage and placed it on the ground. She watched Dorothy keep swinging her sword.

In Dorothy's hands, the longsword was just like a greatsword, whistling with every swing.

After untying the firewood and arranging it on the ground, Leons said softly, "Knowing that there are restrictions on the use of magic in the Resilient Wood Forest, I want to refresh my swordsmanship."

"Given Dorothy's current magical abilities, using swordsmanship might actually be much stronger than magic, um, I mean over in the Toughwood Forest."

After Lyons arranged the wood, Elor began to place the iron pot on the wood.

When asked about Dorothy resuming her sword practice, Elor simply shook his head slightly.

"I don't think that just picking up a sword and swinging it around temporarily will make a big difference."

Leonce nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, but Dorothy's studies are really eclectic. She was half-hearted when learning magic, and now she's practicing swordsmanship too, sigh..."

She was a little unsure what to say.

However, these were all Dorothy's own decisions.

Moreover, they had an agreement beforehand that they would not interfere with Dorothy's studies for a year.

A year later, Dorothy had not produced any results.

At that point, Leona could set rules for Dorothy's further studies.

Leonce looked at Elor, who had already set up the iron pot, and reached out to aim at the firewood under the pot.

slap~

A light snap of the fingers.

The firewood was instantly ignited by the fire element.

Leons stopped watching Dorothy swing her sword. "Let's cook. We'll call her over to eat later."

Dorothy overheard Elor and Lyons' conversation.

After all, neither of them was avoiding her.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that he was deliberately saying it to himself.

The point was that they felt Dorothy was being somewhat irresponsible.

If you're going to learn magic, then study it properly and focus on it. Don't get involved in any random or irrelevant things.

However, Dorothy knew very well what she was doing.

She kept brandishing her sword until Elor called her to have dinner.

After dinner, Dorothy continued wielding her sword until she went to bed.

Actually wielding a sword is much faster than simply imagining it and gaining proficiency. Cooking time plus bedtime adds up to 1 point of proficiency.

Furthermore, while sleeping, Dorothy also tried to continue her daytime meditation practice during her nighttime rest.

The next day, she allocated her attribute points to Agility.

[Agility: 11]

[Sword Skill - Lion Slash LV10 (92/100)] Seeing the proficiency increase a little more, I felt extremely happy!

I feel that once my sword skills are upgraded, I can use this method to improve other skills.

Although progress is slow, we can see improvements!

After getting into the carriage, he continued his meditation and swordsmanship training.

Dorothy was much more skilled this time and quickly got into the zone.

By evening, my proficiency had increased by 2 points.

【Sword Skill - Lion Slash LV10 (94/100)】

After getting off the carriage, Dorothy continued to practice her sword. This time, after Elor and Lyons fell asleep, she practiced for a while longer, increasing her proficiency by 2 points.

【Sword Skill - Lion Slash LV10 (96/100)】

The long hours of wielding the sword had left Dorothy with a rosy complexion and fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

"My sword skills will be upgraded tomorrow."

And we'll be in the Beneathwood Forest tomorrow.

"Once we get there, we'll know if I can use magic."

If magic cannot be used, then sword skills are the only way to survive.

Or, if pushed to the limit, he might unleash his immense magical power and explode like a firecracker!

Dorothy, in any case, would never let anyone take advantage of her!
