Goblin Forest.
By the altar!
Dean McKenzie was preparing to grab the person from the altar and hit the road, intending to find an instance or hide out in the Land of Bone until Ennis Hawkins showed up.
Unexpectedly, even before he could completely save the person, Ennis Hawkins, glowing with a divine light, rushed over.
The instant their gazes met, Dean McKenzie was genuinely stunned.
Didn’t they say that Ennis was at the Mirror Stand? How did he get here?
As for Ennis Hawkins,
His face turned red before quickly adjusting to the situation.
First, he rescued the remaining person on the altar, gave them a potion, and then came to inspect Jay Murray’s injuries.
“Piercing wounds, two of them, in critical locations. They are the result of close-range spell casting!”
While inspecting Jay Murray’s injuries, Ennis Hawkins raised his eyebrows and turned to Dean McKenzie: “This kind of damage is usually inflicted by a one-turn level, how did you manage to do it?
Moreover, under such close conditions, you must’ve taken a hit before retaliating. How did you withstand their attack?”
It must be said, Ennis Hawkins, as the captain of Spring City’s Law Enforcement Team, has seen much.
Extensive knowledge.
Merely judging from the wounds on Jay Murray’s body, he deduced the fight between Dean McKenzie and Jay Murray, raising his own questions along the way.
Dean McKenzie didn’t speak, instead, he pulled out Bone Fang and Bone Shield. In passing, Dean McKenzie also brought out the instance scroll for “Goblin Uprising”.
Seeing Dean McKenzie’s enhanced skills, Ennis Hawkins was taken aback.
Looking at the scroll labeled ‘S-Level’ in Dean’s hand, he remained silent for a long while.
From Ennis’s expression, it was apparent that he was genuinely surprised by Dean McKenzie.
He even lit several cigarettes.
Despite multiple cigarettes, he still couldn’t comprehend how Dean McKenzie qualified for an S-Level evaluation on “Goblin Uprising”.
Also, how Dean managed to enhance Bone Fang and Bone Shield to such an inhuman degree.
However, Ennis Hawkins didn’t ask.
After finishing his cigarette, he waved at Dean McKenzie: “I’ll handle the rest.
You can go back and rest!”
“Oh.”
Once Ennis spoke, Dean McKenzie didn’t say much, nodded, and turned to leave.
“Wait!”
Ennis called out to him, and Dean McKenzie turned around to see Ennis rummaging through Jay Murray’s belongings. He tossed several items to Dean: “These are your spoils of war. And you’ve taken care of a one-turn evil cultist. I’ll recommend you for commendation, and you will get your previous rewards too!”
“Great!”
Holding the items, Dean McKenzie nodded and left the Goblin Forest.
Originally, Dean McKenzie planned to ask Ennis about his situation and talk to him about Jay Murray’s condition.
If the enemy could set up such an altar in the Goblin Forest and strategically choose a time when Dean McKenzie was absent, the power behind them must be significant.
But before the words could escape his lips, Dean McKenzie swallowed them back.
It wasn’t that he did not dare to say it, but rather saw no need to.
With Ennis’s intelligence, he could see whatever Dean did and possibly even more.
If Ennis was unwilling to ask, Dean McKenzie saw no need to explain further.
All he needed to do was follow Ennis’s steps.
Although Ennis arrived a bit late this time, he made it anyway, giving off an imposing aura in his speech.
Just listen to what he said.
‘If the members of the Bloody Church dare to harm a hair on Dean McKenzie, Ennis would definitely use all his connections to fight till death with the Bloody Church.’
Such a domineering statement, so…
Upon further pondering, Dean McKenzie couldn’t help but frown.
“Why do I feel something is off? It’s kind of strange. Never mind, I’m probably overthinking!”
Thus, Dean joyfully left the Goblin Forest and returned to South Hill Base.
After returning to his dormitory, Dean looked over the items left to him by Ennis.
There were three items in total.
The first was a bag, containing 5 Gold Coins and 12 Silver Coins when Dean opened it.
The second item was a weapon, that was Jay Murray’s.
Equipment: Bloodthirsty Blade
Quality: Black Iron
Level: 20
Equipment Requirement: Warrior, Level 20
Effect 1: Increase attack by 20 points, strength by 8 points
Effect 2: Comes with Level 1 Bloodthirsty effect
“Not bad, I’ll give it to Doggy Two and Doggy Three when they reach level 20!”
The last one was a ring.
Equipment: Holy Light Ring
Quality: Bronze
Level: 21
Equipment Requirement: None
Effect 1: Comes with a Level 3 Holy Light Recovery (instantly recover 500 Mana or 100 Spirit Power, as well as damage at level 3 or below) (activates once every hour)
Effect 2: Holy Light Protection Level 3 (activate instantly when subject to damage, can resist 500 points of damage) (activates once every 12 hours)
Effect 3: Comes with Level 3 Flash Light Skill (activates instantly, can blind an opponent for up to 5 seconds.)
Looking at this piece of equipment, Dean McKenzie fell silent; this item was clearly not from Jay Murray.
If Jay had this, it would have been an entirely different chapter to kill him.
This item, without a doubt, came from Ennis Hawkins.
Considering the ring, it was quite suitable for Dean McKenzie.
Dean had merely shown off his abilities and Ennis had observed Jay’s body.
This was enough for Ennis to spot some issues with Dean’s combat system: Magic power consumption, slow activation speed of Bone Shield, and most importantly, lack of control.
And these issues, Ennis solved simply by giving Dean a piece of equipment.
So much so, that when Dean McKenzie held this Holy Light Ring, he felt a bit uneasy.
“Damn it, isn’t Ennis being a little too nice to me?”
Thinking back to what Ennis said just after appearing, Dean McKenzie felt even more anxious: ”1 think of Ennis as a big boss; he doesn’t have any ulterior motives towards me, does he?”
“That doesn’t seem right either, Ennis shouldn’t be that type of person.
Besides, my looks are pretty average, at most.
And my attributes besides spirit, are all below average.
Does Ennis have a thing for frail people?
What if I use my free attribute points to make myself more masculine?
But what if Ennis likes me better then?”
In the midst of his thoughts, Dean McKenzie’s face visibly paled.
However, it wasn’t because of the reasons he just mentioned, that was just him teasing himself. He knew that Ennis was not that kind of person.
The main reason for Dean’s unease was a clear awareness that the situation he was about to face could be extremely dangerous.
Otherwise, Ennis wouldn’t have given him such a piece of equipment.
“Looks like I have to keep increasing my strength!”
While speaking, Dean looked at the 15 Elite Template Fragments he still had….
