Required energy points: 0

*Note: This skill can be activated or canceled depending on your wishes.

…

"The weakest version of me?" Lathel felt confused, however, after using the Sheath skill, he suddenly realized there was a layer of fog around his body.

At this moment, a stream of information also appeared in his mind. This information showed him that he could turn this skill on or off at will.

Besides, even if someone uses any equipment or magic to test Lathel's talent, everyone will only see that he possesses the F rank Earth Elemental talent.

"That's good, I won't get into too much trouble."

"This Tuesday I still received a Rank B skill, it seems the Sign In System is really easy to use."

"Fortunately, I possess a sign In System, so there's no need to fight or search for resources."

After Lathel stood up, he immediately noticed that his body had also changed a bit.

Lighter…

Firmer…

Stronger…

Lathel felt that his body was at least three times stronger than before.

"Could it be that… that five-colored elemental stone helped my body change?"

"Hm… okay, I don't need to worry too much." Lathel shook his head, he promised himself that this would be the last time he would take such a risk.

Too dangerous…

He almost died, and he nearly died in an extremely painful way.

As Lathel remembered what happened last night, he suddenly shivered with fear.

Lathel silently promised himself that he would never take such a risk again.

…

Looking at the information board appearing in front of him, Lathel felt extremely happy. It seemed he didn't need to try too hard, as everything was already provided by the system.

He opened the map that the newbie gift package had provided. Above appeared a map of this forest. A red dot appeared on the map, which was Lathel's location.

"My location is about 7 kilometers from the main road leading to the Capital of the Karol Empire."

"It seems... I just need to walk a little to get out of this forest."

"I hope nothing else happens. Luckily Alec left, maybe nothing strange or dangerous will happen."

Lathel walked forward, as he felt extremely happy.

Why?

Because his harvest in the past two days was extremely large. He already possessed two Rank B skills, 2 Rank D Talents, and 1 Rank E Talent.

Besides, his energy level also increased from 150 to 1,000 points.

He didn't know how much 1,000 energy points were, but he knew that for him, it was a huge number.

His body was even twice as strong as before.

In just two days, he had gained so many things, which made him feel extremely satisfied.

It must be known that he is not the main character, nor is he an antagonist.

He is just a normal supporting character, so he does not have the main character aura or the villain aura.

However, Lathel appreciated what he has because everything he has is thanks to his luck.

From getting the five-colored elemental stone to escaping death and successfully evolving his talent, and even receiving 2 more new talents.

This was extremely lucky for Lathel and beyond his expectations.

Lathel was in a happy mood, as he looked towards a bright future.

…

Elsewhere.

At the road leading to the Capital of the Karol Empire. Alec walked on the street, his eyes looking into the distance.

"Are you thinking about Lathel? Do you feel regretful?

His Master's voice echoed in his head. Alec frowned and said: "Sigh, I feel a bit guilty. I should have tried saving him."

"Are you stupid?" His master shouted: "You only have one pill of that pill. Its value is extremely high, it cannot even be bought with 1,000 gold coins, do you want to let a useless person use it?"

"But…" Alec wanted to say something, but then, he just sighed apologetically.

"Don't be soft-hearted, Alec. To sit in the highest position, a position that no one else can sit in, one must endure things that no one else can endure."

"You must be cruel and cold. Loneliness is your friend, and your friends are just tools for you to take advantage of, understand?

"If you are still worried about other people, you will not be able to avenge your family. Nor can you destroy your enemies."

"And of course, you can't stand at the top of this world either."

"I didn't say anything wrong, nor do I want you to end up in failure. I'm now in the same boat as you, Alec..."

"This boat has reached the ocean, it cannot go back, it can only continue to move forward."

"I…" Alec wanted to say something, however, he thought carefully and felt that his Master's words were extremely reasonable.

Lathel only possessed one rank F Talent, and that Talent was an Earth Elemental.

Compared to him, a pill worth 1,000 gold coins could help Alec do many other things.

Alec thought that even if he hired a servant, he would only need to pay 100 gold coins a month at most.

Moreover that price of 100 gold coins could hire a retired level 20 - 40 adventurer as his servant.

And Lathel? He doesn't have any potential, so saving him is a waste of Alec's resources.

"You are right, Master." Alec sighed and said: "I was thinking too simply, sorry."

"It's okay…" His master replied: "You are still young, and your experience is too little."

"I have lived a long time and seen many terrible things. This thing called friendship is just a cover for the darkness and betrayal inside."

"A successful person is a loner. Throughout the history of this world, the strongest and most powerful kings have been loners."

"You will also become such a person. Therefore, learn to get used to loneliness."

"Um… I understand." Alec nodded. Speaking of loneliness, in reality, when he was on earth, he was alone.

That's why he was not afraid of loneliness; on the contrary, he felt that it was for the best.

"So… are you planning to go to the royal magic academy in the Capital of the Karol Empire?"

"Um…" Hearing his Master's question, Alec immediately nodded: "I think I need a place with enough resources and knowledge so I can study."

"Ah! I don't look down on you, Master, it's just…"

"I understand…" His master interrupted him: "At the royal magic academy, you will have enough resources and many opportunities to develop more."

"Even though I have enough knowledge to teach you, I cannot operate continuously."

"Right now, I don't have much energy left, and I don't have much time to support you. That's why going to the royal magic academy is your best choice."

"That will be the stage for you to shine and connect with many people, and they will become your chess pieces in the future."

"Good!" Alec nodded and said: "Then... I will go to the royal magic academy."

…

Back to Lathel.

Right now, he was looking at the sky.

The sky was clear and blue, strange birds continuously flew past his sight.

The cool breeze blowing past made him feel a little comfortable.

Suddenly, Lathel frowned, his face showing discomfort.

'No, I'm not comfortable at all.'

'I'm not okay.'

'In the end… what's going on?'

Lathel screamed inside.

At this moment, he was sitting on an extremely simple wooden palanquin. His hands and legs were tied tightly, underneath the palanquin, 8 small Goblins were making this simple palanquin move on a trail.

Lathel sighed, it all started 3 hours ago.

At that time, he had just walked a distance of about 1 kilometer when he stepped on a trap.

A rope was tied to his feet and he was hung upside down from a tree. He didn't even have time to react.

Although Lathel possesses extremely high energy points, many talents and two Rank B skills, those things could not help him at this time.

Lathel also didn't have any skills to attack or rescue himself. He could only let himself hang upside down like that.

However, 10 minutes later, a group of Goblins appeared. At that time, he thought why was he so unlucky?

Even though he was just a supporting character, he couldn't so unlucky that he just walked 1 kilometer and stepped on a Goblin's trap.

Luckily these Goblins did not harm him, they tied him up and took him somewhere.

Lathel estimated that these goblins had traveled more than 3 kilometers, before arriving at a rather large cave.

Seeing that cave, he immediately felt desperate because he thought that the goblins wanted to turn him into a food reserve.

A thought suddenly appeared in his mind that inside was perhaps a Goblin Shaman or a High Orc.

Why?

Because these Goblins already know how to make tools. Even though the tools were primitive, it represented that these Goblins were led by a highly intelligent being.

That's good news for the Goblins.

But it's bad news for Lathel...
