Four gleaming gold talents and one skill appeared simultaneously on Lot's character panel.

Great, they're all back!

And the Oath Keeper skill has even returned!

In Sophie's eyes, only a moment had passed in the real world, and they could never imagine what Lott had experienced in that instant.

Sophie stood in front of Lot and chuckled, "Mr. Lot, you'd better lure a valuable monster over here, or I'm not going to let you off the hook~"

Chapter 4 Who says I only have one golden talent?

Lotte tried to struggle, but couldn't break free of the ropes binding him; his paralyzed body was powerless.

Sophie squatted down in front of Lott and brandished her dagger. "Looking at you more closely... you're actually quite good-looking."

Are you going to let me go?

"Don't say such discouraging things," Sophie said, slicing Lot's arm with her dagger. "This is Bloodflesh Beast territory. In less than ten minutes, it'll be coming after you by the scent of your blood. If we let you go, who's going to give me the silver coins?"

Sophie tried to cut Lotte's arm with her dagger, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't cut it open.

Just as she turned to call for her bearded teammate behind her, Lotte, who had been staring at the dagger, suddenly said softly, "What are silver coins? I've awakened a golden talent. If you kill me, you can get that talent."

"Ok?"

In Sophie and the others' understanding, only races other than humans can awaken talents. And humans can plunder talents by killing them.

Talents are also divided into five levels: white, blue, purple, red, and gold. Most people are already very lucky if they can acquire the lowest level, white talent, in their lifetime. Talents above red have never even appeared.

"Little brother, you can't even make a good lie. How could a human awaken a talent? I would believe you if you said there was a white talent, but you insist on saying there is a golden talent."

Lott said, "Did you bring a testing crystal ball? We'll know once we test it."

"That's for testing the talents of monsters."

"Humans can use it too."

Sophie found it amusing and reached out to lift Lotte's chin. "Why did you tell me this? If I wanted to plunder talent, I'd have to kill you first."

Lott licked his chapped lips and glanced at Sophie's body without any attempt to hide it.

The cloth armor couldn't conceal her ample figure, and her white thighs beneath the short skirt were even more alluring.

Her face was indeed very beautiful, with fluffy red hair hanging down on both sides, exuding the charm of a bad older sister.

"Since I'm going to die anyway, I'd rather die by your hand than be killed by the Bloodfleece Beast. As long as you grant my wish, I won't let your teammates know this secret."

“Let me guess.” Sophie reached out and touched Lott’s lips. “You want me?”

Lott held her breath, blushing as much as possible, and nodded shyly, "May I...?"

Sophie was clearly fooled by Lott; she chuckled lightly, "Little brother, do you think I'd believe that?"

"Have you ever heard of the Golden Talent before?" Lott asked in return. "You only need to test for a few minutes to become stronger and live the life of a noble lady in the city."

"It will cost 10 copper coins to test it, don't try to fool me."

"Whatever. With this golden talent, I don't need to go into the forest to hunt dangerous monsters anymore. I can keep getting stronger just by hunting harmless slimes."

Sophie had never heard of such a strange talent effect, but she felt that Lott must have been working hard in the forest for three months for some reason.

Is there really such a talent?

Sophie said, "So you deliberately pretended to be a newbie to lower my guard, distract my teammates, and then turn the tables on me?"

"My sword has already been confiscated, and now you've drugged me. How am I supposed to fight back? If you're not comfortable with that, why don't you drug me some more?"

Sophie bit her red lips, sensing something was amiss.

If Lotte truly possesses the Golden Talent, then he must be incredibly powerful, so powerful that Sophie's death was already inevitable when she kidnapped him.

Either he was kidnapped by Sophie before he even had a chance to develop.

Sophie prefers the latter.

Of course, it's highly likely that Lotte is just lying; how could a human awaken a talent, especially a golden one?

But what if Lott really does have it?

Lotte's undisguised gaze made Sophie think that he was simply lustful and wanted to take advantage of her before he died, nothing more.

Ten copper coins are a small sum for the mage Sophie, and it's worth a try.

After thinking for a moment, Sophie looked up at the bearded man behind her and said, "You two go away and keep watch for me nearby."

"Aren't we going to use him as bait?"

“I’ve changed my mind. He’s so handsome. I’ll spend some time alone with him first.”

"Sophie, we're not..."

"Huh?" Sophie glared at the bearded man. "What, are you jealous? Just do what I tell you to do."

The bearded man sighed, shook his head helplessly, and left with another person.

After they had walked away, Sophie picked up her staff and pressed it against Lott's head. "Good brother, now it's just the two of us. If you lie to me or do anything underhanded, I'll slowly corrode your flesh."

"Sure. Are you coming now? I'm not ready yet..."

"No rush, wait until the test is over."

Sophie stuffed a small piece of crystal into Lotte's mouth, held the crystal ball in her arms, and stared at it intently.

The originally transparent crystal ball suddenly began to heat up, and a striking beam of pure golden light appeared inside it.

Then, golden light gradually filled the entire crystal ball, bursting out with an incomparably dazzling brilliance!

The leaves in the forest have turned golden, heralding a glorious future for Sophie!

Sophie's legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground, staring at the crystal ball and muttering to herself, "Gold...it really is a gold talent...my god...I'm going to grind slimes for the rest of my life, I'm going to get stronger, leave this damn town, and become a noble lady..."

The crystal ball showed that mages could also possess this golden talent, which completely put Sophie at ease.

"I wasn't lying to you, was I?" Lotte, having spat out the crystal, swung his leg. "Sophie, then we..."

Lotte looked down and found a dagger pressed against his lower abdomen.

Sophie gripped the dagger hilt tightly with both hands, grinning widely, her eyes wide. "You like me so much, you'll understand, right? I can't wait any longer, just die, die!"

"We didn't... agree on this..."

Sophie's eyes were filled with only desire for the golden talent. She pulled out the dagger and stabbed it in again: "I'll give it to you if you die. Die quickly, die quickly!"

She stabbed him seven times in one go, until her body went limp and she lost all strength, until her neck turned red and she was panting heavily, but Lotte still stared at her with her eyes open, as if nothing had happened.

Sophie's profession is a mage, but her power is very weak.

Lotte's talent attribute, "Gift of the World," grants him a noble 6 points of physical resistance.

If Sophie looked closely, she would see that she had only pierced Lotte's armor, not actually penetrated his body.

Sophie's red hair was disheveled, and she kept shaking her head, "How could this happen..."

She didn't know what physical resistance was, and nobody in the world knew either.

Sophie threw away the dagger, stood up shakily, picked up her staff with both hands, and pointed it at Lotte.

Once the magic is released, the resulting explosion will attract the attention of the bearded man in the distance, who will then learn about the golden talent.

Sophie was panting heavily. She didn't care about anything else anymore. At worst, she would kill those two after she obtained the golden talent.

Her staff began to glow blue, and a magic missile materialized in front of it. She kept repeating, "That's mine, it's mine!"

"BOOM!!"

The missile blasted the large tree behind Lot in half, and the ropes binding him snapped as well. He was thrown to the ground and rolled several times before coming to a stop.

At such close range, even a mid-level warrior like Lot wouldn't survive. Sophie stared intently at Lot, who lay sprawled on the ground, her hands gripping her staff as she chanted a spell, preparing to finish him off.

But as she opened her eyes wide, she saw an unbelievable scene.

Lotte, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly sprang up from the ground!

He picked up the dagger Sophie had just thrown down, and with his face covered in blood, he lunged straight at Sophie, who was singing.
