The snake-tailed vulture is a large carrion-eating raptor. Their sense of smell is very sensitive. When hovering at high altitude, they can smell the smell of dead bodies more than ten kilometers away.
Of course, Wiltok's nose is not that exaggerated. In fact, his current sensory abilities, including the sensitivity of vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch, are only slightly stronger than the average level of ordinary people. However, all the smells he smelled were processed by the golden light group in the conscious world, recorded by the golden light group, and received feedback when needed.
This is an incredible ability.
In addition to a few exciting and familiar smells, how many kinds of smells can the average person's brain distinguish? Most smells that are useless to people are often simply ignored.
The golden light group in Wiltok's conscious world can help him distinguish various smells. In fact, it is not only smells, but also pictures, sounds, touches and other information. It is like another person living in his body, faithfully recording , process and feedback all kinds of sensory information, Vertok doesn’t need to worry about it at all.
The process of recording, distinguishing and feedbacking external information by the golden light group lasts for about ten hours. If the sensory information is not repeatedly strengthened and stimulated during this period, Wiltok's ability to discern information will gradually weaken until it disappears completely.
In layman's terms, it's called forgetfulness, which is no different from ordinary people, but within ten hours, his ability to perceive and discern is simply ridiculously strong.
When Wiltok first woke up, he was like a big confused baby. He liked to look at and listen to everything he encountered, and then touch it, smell it with his nose, and taste it with his mouth. For this reason, he made a lot of jokes in the Adventurer's House, and many female warriors of the Hemer tribe were harassed by him. That is to say, Wiltok is beautiful, otherwise those ill-tempered minorities will have to beat him into a pig's head. This is also the reason why the female warrior Hemer who hangs out in the tavern likes to touch Weir.
Wouldn't it be a loss if we didn't tease this beautiful half-elf boy in return?
Wiltok developed the habit of sniffing smells in the hotel kitchen. He left the Adventurer's House for the first time and came to unfamiliar streets. He still used his nose to smell smells from time to time. There were relatively few pedestrians on the streets of Braun Town, with a few scattered people around Wiltok. He didn't notice until John jumped out and started a fight with Carl. The smell on John's body successfully matched the smell recorded by the golden light group. Following this line of thinking, Wiltok identified all three other people who had been following him without any mistakes.
Wiltok didn't know that his perception and discrimination method was different from ordinary people, and thought that everyone was the same. Therefore, he didn't ask anyone for advice. Even the fat cook Sarah didn't know how special he was.
John never expected that Wiltok had such incredible abilities. He and the other three companions were elite confidants trained by Bottom and others, and were ordered to protect Vertok in secret.
Since adventurers often move in jungles with complex environments, the most common dangers they encounter are beasts and monsters with a keen sense of smell. Experienced adventurers are used to cleaning themselves up and trying not to have a strong smell on their body, otherwise they will be like a beacon attracting monsters when walking in the dark forest.
The scent on John and the others was very light, and they could even avoid the sniffing of various beasts and monsters, but they were actually identified by Wiltok accurately.
Ordinary people may not think there is anything wrong with this, but the chief officer of the adventurer training camp only feels creepy.
Although snake-tailed vultures have a keen sense of smell, their small and pitiful brains can only remember the smell of carrion. They have never heard of snake-tailed vultures reacting to other smells.
How did Vertok do it? Is he a monster?
By the time John saw Vere as a monster, Vertok had already begun to take advantage. First he grabbed John's hand and squeezed it; then he grabbed his arm and squeezed it; he pressed his shoulder and squeezed it again. Fortunately, he has now gotten over his bad habit of opening his mouth and biting, which Sarah taught him was wrong.
John understood Vertok's situation relatively well and would not be angry because of the other person's confusing behavior. He would just take a step back, but he would not know that being touched by Vertok on the arm would be really scary. With a bone-breaking knife, Vertok could remove his arm as easily as a leg of mutton.
What bad intentions could a simple Vertok have? He was just satisfying his curiosity.
Wiltok asked bluntly: "The muscles in your arms are very solid. Other than that, there is nothing special about you. Why can you bounce yourself off the ground with just your elbows?"
John's face turned bitter. He had never spoken to Wiltok, but he had heard someone say that if anyone was impatient, it was best not to answer Wiltok's questions, otherwise they would be overwhelmed by his questions.
"You can do it with practice," John replied as concisely as possible.
Wiltok turned his eyes to the playground of the training camp, pointed at the children running on all fours and climbing over obstacles, and asked: "Train like them? I also want to try..."
As he said that, he strode towards the playground. John decisively stopped him and hurriedly dissuaded him: "It's dangerous for you to practice this."
Wiltok glanced at the teenagers and children crawling around on the playground, and said disapprovingly: "Dangerous? I don't think... they can crawl, and so can I."
In fact, John's worries have some validity. Crawling training needs to start from an early age. Children are light and have short legs, so even if they fall accidentally, it will not be a big problem. The children adopted by the training camp in Braun Town practice crawling, rolling, crawling, and climbing over obstacles every day. As they practice for a long time, their movements become more and more dexterous, their skills become more proficient, and their mistakes continue to decrease. This is a step-by-step process. process.
Of course, in order to adapt to this kind of climbing activity, young people coming out of the training camp are generally thin and short.
Wiltok is 1.88 meters tall and has long legs. His body proportions are indeed good-looking, but it will definitely be difficult for people with too long legs to climb on all fours. In addition, Wiltok has never practiced climbing before, so John can almost imagine him falling.
It is very common for children to fall, but with Wiltok's height and weight, if he falls, he will inevitably be injured. It's a trivial matter to get a bruised nose and face, but if you break your face, it will be troublesome.
Wiltok is worth at least 50,000 gold towers. If all this gold was smelted and cast into gold statues of the same size as him, almost four could be cast. Not to mention breaking his face, even if there were a few bloody cuts on Wiltok's hands, John felt that it was a crime.
Boss Bottom specially told John and the others to protect this "walking treasure".
John believes that if necessary, he should take action to subdue the disobedient Wiltok. Even if his pants are taken off by Aunt Sarah and his butt is severely spanked afterwards, the "walking treasure" cannot be injured in the training camp!
Determined not to hesitate to be beaten, John was about to reject Wiltok righteously when he suddenly saw a middle-aged man with a slender face and a gloomy face in the crowd.
This person is Cole, the doctor in Braun Town, and the fourth person in the Adventurer's House. He nodded imperceptibly to John, and John understood and immediately changed his words to Wiltok: "Okay, you can try it, come with me, I will find someone to show you first."
"I, I, Brother John, I can teach him!" Piru, who had been following Wiltok, ran forward, his face flushed with excitement.
If Bottom, Cole and others are the first-generation founders of the Adventurer House, then John and others are the second-generation successors they have painstakingly cultivated, and there are dozens of almost-adult shop owners in the hotel. Dude is a third generation seed. According to Boss Bottom, store clerks like Piru are "not for sale" and they are certainly different from other trainees in the training camp.
Piru, the store clerk, was also taught by John step by step. The relationship between them was like that of father and son. Seeing John's cheering look, John knew that he wanted to show off his skills in front of Vertok.
"Okay, you go to the 'Jungle' training ground in front to demonstrate to Wiltok. There is no one there right now. I also want to know if your skills have deteriorated these days." John reached out and patted Piru on the shoulder. , smiled kindly.
The "Jungle Training Ground" isn't really a jungle. In an area of more than ten acres, dozens of low thorn bushes were planted, and there was an elevated structure built of logs, simulating a jungle environment. Piru took off his boots and walked barefoot happily into the training ground. He stood behind a bush and waved to John to show that he was ready.
John nodded, and a middle-aged instructor next to him released two thin gray-haired hounds. They waggled their tails happily and rushed towards Piru quickly. I saw Piru's short figure and disappeared under the thorn bushes. This kind of small hunting dog does not bite Piru, it just wants to find him to play games. If Piru is found by the hounds, his training will fail.
Vertok and John stood on a higher ground and saw Piru sometimes squatting and moving sideways like a beetle; sometimes crawling and swimming like a snake; sometimes using his hands and feet together, jumping back and forth like a cat. Occasionally he would peek out, but his position was only a sliver higher than the thorn bushes at most. He tried not to make any noise, and the two hounds could hardly be seen; the hounds could not see him. Both sides played hide and seek in the training ground based on their feelings.
John explained to Wiltok: "Fighting is not the main responsibility of adventurers. Exploring, collecting, and stealing treasures are what adventurers often do. Of course, fighting is also a skill that adventurers must learn, but no matter what, adventurers First, you must know how to save yourself and your companions.”
"Strength, speed, agility, physical fitness, and brain... these are the basis of adventurer training, but the most important thing is inspiration, an inspiration that can connect all these most basic things. If A whole day is not enough for adventurers to carry out various basic training alone, and everyone has different physical conditions and different inspirations... Therefore, my training method starts with imitating the climbing of animals. The training camp Every little guy climbs in his own way, there are no standard techniques or key points at all... I don’t care how they climb, as long as they can accomplish the goals I require.”
"Every basic training content is included in climbing training, and it can also exercise muscles that are not usually used. In addition, our bodies are used to walking upright. If practitioners want to climb better than others, they must master their own inspiration. .To help them find inspiration, I set up training courses of varying difficulty, starting with dirt, then sand, gravel, pool areas, obstacle areas, and finally the 'jungle'."
"As you can see now, there is no secret to my training method. As long as they find their own inspiration, their bodies will become coordinated. Running, jumping, climbing, swimming are no problem, plus some fighting, After hunting training, they can leave the training camp and join the adventure group.”
As he said that, Piru had successfully "backstabbed" two small hunting dogs. He was holding the dogs' necks with both hands and smiling happily.
John seemed dissatisfied with Piru's performance and shouted: "Piru, you are slower than before! From today on, you have to come to the training ground to train every day until I am satisfied."
Piru put down the hounds and drove them away with his feet, shouting: "The boss will deduct my wages!"
"I don't care! If you dare to come, I'll ask someone to beat you up!" John waved his fist and threatened Piru.
Wiltok suddenly interrupted and said, "What you just said makes sense. Can I train?"
John resisted the urge to look back at Dr. Cole. Facing the eager Wiltok, he said awkwardly: "Well, for training... you have to start on the mud."
Wiltok didn't put forward higher requirements, he couldn't wait to try even the lowest level of training.
John brought Vertok and Piru to the mud training ground. Under his orders, several instructors quickly cleared the ground and took away a group of six- and seven-year-old little mud monkeys, leaving the ground to Vertok for his own enjoyment. .
Vertok walked into the dark, soft mud and tried to run on all fours in it. He showed amazing perseverance and determination, never falling to his knees and crawling on his knees. Then, he began to perform various falling movements, falling sideways, sideways, forward, always falling, always falling. As long as he ran faster, he would fall in a variety of ways...
Piru laughed loudly next to him, and Veer kept falling on the muddy ground. He was laughing so hard that he held his stomach and twitched. John was really worried that Piru would die like this.
Dr. Cole, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't bear to watch anymore. He covered his face with his hands and rubbed it up and down, thinking: Wiltok really has no combat training. Well, he's beautiful, very beautiful, that's enough...
Wiltok didn't care what others thought or thought. He concentrated on training himself, even if in the eyes of others, he was playing in the mud until he forgot about it.
After struggling until it got dark, Wiltok finally found the "inspiration" to run on all fours in the mud, running from one end of the field to the other without falling.
How can I put it, John thinks that Wiltok's training results are very good, and none of the six or seven-year-old little guys can compare with him. Considering Wiltok's height, weight, and zero training foundation, John concluded that he has talent, but he is too tall and may not be able to complete subsequent training projects.
Wiltok was satisfied. He was no longer interested in training on other venues and offered to go back to the hotel to rest.
John, Piru and others sent Vertok to the door of the Adventurer's House, but they did not go in and ran away quickly.
Sure enough, as soon as Wiltok, who was covered in mud and could no longer see his true face clearly, entered the door, he immediately caused a small commotion. He was fine when he went out, but when he came back he turned into a big mud monkey. The fat cook Sarah felt really distressed. All the waitresses and maids in the hotel gathered around, saying hello to Wiltok and wiping his hands and face. The hotel owner Bottom was even more "filled with righteous indignation" and clamored to go to Piru to settle the score.
I don’t know if Boss Bottom found Piru. Anyway, he didn’t come back the night he went out.
Wiltok went to the bathroom first, took a hot bath comfortably, and changed into clean clothes before going to the kitchen. Sarah had prepared dinner for him. While he was eating, he said to the fat cook who was still nagging: "Sarah, I have to change to a guest room today. That stairwell is no longer suitable for me."
