In the cart, a massive creature with a body like a lizard but a crocodile’s head lay prostrate, giving off a fierce vibe even without a breath of life left in it.
But what made Jason gape was the pair of wings on the back of this monster!
Though only the size of a human palm, Jason was certain that those were indeed wings.
“This is a Kansa Burrowing Dragon!”
“Despite its robust size, it moves swiftly, and an adult Kansa Burrowing Dragon can breathe extremely high-temperature flames.”
“Although it is an omnivorous creature, it has a preference for meat.”
Eric was introducing the creature on the cart to Jason.
Then, an odd expression appeared on the face of the old knight’s servant.
It was the look of someone wanting to laugh but having to maintain decorum and keep the laughter in.
This was the second time he had received ‘Excitement of Feast’!
And with this one point of ‘Excitement of Feast,’ his strength would be upgraded once more.
Perhaps ‘Protection Against Evil’ wasn’t enough for improvement.
But the Dufol Language was sufficient.
If he upgraded the Dufol Language to a Proficiency Level, then he could learn the secret technique ‘Mist Concealment.’
As for ‘Gunpowder Weapons. Light Weapons’ and ‘Barehanded Combat’?
With the prospect of learning and enhancing secret techniques, Jason would not choose either for now.
It wasn’t that they weren’t good enough.
He had better options.
[Yes/No Consume 10 points of satiety, 1 point of Excitement of Feast, to upgrade Dufol Language (Proficient → Mastery)]
After Jason answered, an unprecedented flood of complex knowledge began pouring into his mind.
Unable to help himself, Jason let out a muffled grunt and even his body swayed slightly.
This synchronization of knowledge with his body far exceeded Jason’s expectations.
In both duration and the intensity of pain.
Five seconds later, Jason’s eyes finally regained their clarity.
He looked at the text before him.
[Dufol Language (Passive) (Mastery): Dufol Language is a special language known only among the hidden organizations and mystical forces, unknown to the common people, yet you have mastered this ancient tongue; you can even understand some of its simple ‘combinations’, though you cannot know the rituals within, you do know how to read and construct these ‘mysteries,’ even if that’s just the basics.]
[Upon reaching Mastery Level in Dufol Language, you have gained the inherent Mastery option: Quick Reading (Dufol Language)]
[Quick Reading (Dufol Language): Extensive reading of the Dufol Language has enabled you to master this skill, allowing you to read materials and literature written in Dufol Language much faster than the average person.]
“Inherent Mastery option?”
“Does each skill have additional options once it reaches the Mastery Level?”
“Is this why ‘Excitement of Feast’ is required?”
A light of realization flashed in Jason’s eyes, and then he eagerly turned his attention to ‘Protection Against Evil’ before looking at ‘Gunpowder Weapons. Light Weapons’ and ‘Barehanded Combat.’
What options would they have when they reached the ‘Mastery’ level?
After speculating in his heart, Jason quickly gathered his thoughts and took out the scroll of the secret technique ‘Mist Concealment.’
[Discovery of the secret technique ‘Mist Concealment’!]
[Determination: Dufol Language has reached Mastery Level, Yes/No consume 5 points of satiety to learn the secret technique?]
After Jason confirmed, a thick fog instantly enveloped him.
The mist was dense, so much so that he couldn’t see his own hands in front of him.
But the texts formed by the Dufol Language shone brightly.
As the new sequence of Dufol Language appeared before Jason’s eyes, it began to absorb the surrounding fog as if it were a whale drinking water, causing the dense mist to disappear without a trace in an instant.
Only leaving this set of Dufol Language branded on Jason’s heart.
It didn’t appear alongside the Dufol Language of ‘Protection Against Evil,’ but on the other side.
As Jason’s heart beat, both sets of Dufol Language flashed at the same time.
