34 - 32. Holidays

I didn't think I would go to bed before Leo yesterday.

I went to bed almost as usual and woke up just in time to go to work in the morning, even though it was my day off.

When I logged in, I found myself in a carriage. I thought for a moment that I had entered a circle back to Fast, but it was stopped at the plaza of Secant. It seems that the carriages between the towns are like an event field, and they do not go on to the next unless I get off.

I got off the carriage, feeling glad that I did not have to lie on the cobblestones, and watched the carriage as it started moving.

I would like to go sightseeing in Secant, but it will soon be evening anyway.

Players are still visible even though it is a weekday morning. Many of them are probably attacking the boss of Secan or the boss of Sir. I dropped in at the guild of the Secan Commerce Guild facing the plaza, dropped off my sil, registered for transfer to the temple, and flew straight to the fast.

Once again, I made sure I had more than 2,200,000 shillings on hand, and opened the door to the store, which was still as inconspicuous as ever, already starting to turn dusky.

"You're early!"

When I told him that I had come to pay, he folded the book he was reading and turned to me.

Looking at the owner's face, I suddenly remembered that I had not read through the book I had purchased, but I would read it slowly after I finished paying.

"I don't feel at home with an item I haven't paid for."

The owner is at the counter with the money.

"Sure."

After checking the 2,200,000 shillings I gave him, the owner put them in a box. As I was relieved after the payment, he offered me a thin black book, similar to the book of thunder he had given me the last time.

The book is in two volumes. Now that you've paid, I'll give you the rest.

Hmm?

"I'm happy to learn new attributes from just one book, what's more?"

Like, if you don't read the second book, you lose the magic you learned?

"I told you that lightning is a compound magic, and that book alone is only half of it."

"There's a lot to learn about magic, too, and I'm willing to go through with it even if you get in my way."

"Oh, I'm Cadiz. Go ahead and drop your money."

Shopkeeper's name and pattock!

"Thank you, thank you."

He is as brusque as ever, but he tells me not to call myself a mage if I don't know anything about the books on the shelves, so I take out a few books and start reading in the round chair.

The owner of the store is turning the pages of the book he is looking at and does not pay any attention to us.

It seems that there are other types of magic such as ice, burning, space-time, etc., and that there are other types of compound magic, which can be learned by acquiring knowledge of light and darkness and their corresponding magic. The book given to me by the shopkeeper was the key item to acquire knowledge of lightning, but the shape of key items such as orbs and stone tablets is not yet determined.

I learned that magic and sorcery are affected by not only intelligence but also blessings of the gods, intimacy with spirits, and in the case of compound magic, even the magic level of the original attribute.

I bought two new books on magic.

The word "magic" is sometimes used in the broad sense of the word "witchcraft", but it is more accurate to say that magic is a higher level of witchcraft.

Even if it is a higher level attribute, if it is incomplete, it is classified as magic.

And so on.

Knowledge of the Compendium of Magic and newly purchased books on magic.

It is really useful to have the knowledge flow into your mind when you own it. So, in fact, I often just flip through dictionaries and books for knowledge, while most of the books I read here are stories.

I have acquired the higher level of magic by solving the riddle of the secondhand bookstore.

With this, [lightning magic] will be merged into [lightning magic].

As we were leaving the used bookstore, an announcement was made.

The used bookstore was a mystery after all. I can't tell the difference between a quest and a riddle. Is it a riddle if it's something you shouldn't tell people?

By the way, the title effect of "The One Who Solves the Mystery" is "Attracted by the Mystery. I had let it go since it was just a vague title that "you can somehow find out where the mystery is", but I wonder if it is a very useful title considering that it gives you skills.

Looking at the [Lightning Magic], I found that <> was learned at level 1, <> at level 3, and <> at level 5. I wonder if the new magic will be acquired at the same level as light and dark. I am relieved to see that the spells of the integrated [Lightning Magic] are still alive and well.

There is a star in the display of [Lightning Magic]. I found in the help file that it is displayed for "the first player to acquire the skill" and that it has various benefits, such as a 5% increase in effectiveness.

So, it seems that I am the first one to get the lightning magic. Well, I guess I can't pay that much for it. I don't think there was a star for [Lightning Magic], and there is a star for [Carry], too, if I recall. It's no wonder, because it's better to run into the enemy than to stare at menus and statuses. Ochazuke often scolds me.

I learned much later that the general route is as follows,

The order is: get to know the residents, find the stall, find the used bookstore, find the book with the clue to the temple riddle, solve the temple riddle, use the light in the used bookstore with the total number of magic skill levels over 30 ......, and after solving the temple riddle, the fist fighter will find another place to solve the riddle. The solution and the branching.

The amount of money reminds me that I have to go to the guild of commerce to consign the sale.

So here I am at the guild, where there were few players before, but there are many. If this is the case on a weekday afternoon, I wonder how it will be at night. I mean, stop producing in the lobby.

I asked the receptionist to call up Cuero, and he showed me to a reception room on the second floor. Inside was Clero, tall and slender, with a black suit and a striped blouse that pushed up his chest. It's a trap that draws the eye to the difference between her breasts and the undergarment rather than her cleavage. You ordered the suit and blouse, didn't you?　There's no sag in your clothes!

"Good evening. Sorry to call so late."

No, I'm on duty. I hope you don't mind.

He smiles and offers me a cup of coffee. Coffee is mainstream in this world too, huh?

"I'm here to register to sell liquor on consignment and regular consignment.

"Thank you. First of all, each consignment can only be registered once, so that the guild can quickly identify the consignor in case of fraud. Instead, several people, including you, Homura-sama, have requested to keep their names secret, so you can register under a different name for business purposes."

He explains it to us while pointing a pamphlet at us, just as he did when he registered as an adventurer.

"What is your name for registration?"

The name ......,Homura, so you can use the flame en, or no, that would be a circle. Cooking,Medication,Alchemy,Ren......

"Lenguard, please."

"Yes, you already have a storage rental, ......, and we will register it for you."

As with the storage rental, the guild card will be used for registration, and the tablet will appear again to update the information.

After the registration is completed, a consignment sales system and number will be assigned to the storage space rented by the commercial guild. Once you have deposited your items and set your price within the specified range, you will be able to buy them from other consignment terminals as items for sale. We also offer a service to add storage capacity.

"The number of consignment sales is limited to 30, but you can sell up to 99 of the same type of potions, for example. The sales amount will be credited to the storage you have set up for consignment sales, minus a handling fee. Please note that after 3 years of storage rental has expired, the items in the storage, including those for sale, will become the property of the guild."

When you rent a storage unit, it was explained that it expires in three years. In the real world, it was explained that characters are deleated one year after they stop paying bills, so I wonder if this is related to that.

"If you have other stores, such as stalls, or if you have a private home, we can add storage units and link them to each other. Separate storage is useful if you don't want to sell your property by mistake."

I don't think I need to add storage itself, especially now that I live in an inn.

"Well, we're happy to help you today."

"Oh, thank you. How can I help you with the alcohol?"

Leave beer, wine, and brandy with Cuello and get a receipt.

He will transfer the money to the storage for sale. You can also deposit from the storage, but he asks you to visit the guild about once a month.

"A rating of 9, that's great. ......"

For a long time, Cuero had been a faceless man with a smile on his face, but when he saw the sake ratings, he began to pull away. Thanks to the glove of skill, there are a few 10's. Cuero is staring at me with the wine in his hand.

"...... can I get you a bottle?"

You present a bottle of wine to Cuero, then deposit the item you wish to sell in your storage on the ground floor and set the price. Sell alcoholic beverages with a rating of 7, food with a rating of 8 and <>, <> and <> with a rating of 6. The other items for sale are looked at, and the evaluation of the items is given on a wait-and-see basis. I recall a conversation between Roy and Dawn at ...... where he said that he had only seen 5 ratings for anti-toxins.

At any rate, I give it a rating of 8, since the effect of a rating of 5 to 7 is still too subtle. I have already sold off anything with a rating of 7 or lower, because I didn't think I would use it myself.

At any rate, I'll put the highest price on it. and alcoholic beverages did not come up in my search. , but are there really so few people with the [brewing] skill?

I'm here Sir.

Saa, which is said to be a town of furniture and other woodworkers, is surrounded by well-kept forests and lakes with little rainfall. The lakes and marshes are fed by spring water from the Narn Mountains to the east, and the abundant water nurtures the forests, while the climate with little rainfall is ideal for drying wood.

and >, he changes his equipment to Ruba's sword, <><><> and >, and his robe to a swordsman's coat, and sets out into the forest at night.

The <<> I got last night are not a problem, so I leave them on. The same arm equipment cancels out the higher ability, but it seems that the higher ability is applied. I have both on, but the <> are still in effect. By the way, it turns out that the equipment for the reward of the first defeat is much better than that for the party.

That's it, I think the solo defeat was set at a higher level.

Skipping over the enemies of the second tier, the party was to be defeated by the enemies of the night.

I was ready to go back to the dead, so I paid the full amount for the sil and threw the items into storage, and this time I also got a grant for increased arm strength from the temple.

He decides to go to the Narn Mountains.

<, and then chooses an unimproved road that branches off. At a suitable point, we enter the forest. Even though it is a weekday, we have seen some parties along the main road, but there seems to be no sign of them anymore.

I find a single enemy that I can detect, and when I approach it, I see a green slime. He calls <> and casts <> on it, closing the distance in a single breath and swinging his sword.

He aims his sword at the core of the slime, which moves erratically inside the slime's body.

The slime is easily defeated.

I try my magic on the next slime, but it seems that the nucleus is protected by the gelatinous fluid and cannot be damaged directly. Even if you aim at the nucleus with a , the fluid slows it down and the nucleus moves away from the target in the meantime.

Only [Lightning Magic] was able to do more damage than other magic. Thanks to [Gelslayer], it seems to be possible to use magic alone, but the title of [King of Swords] is too effective.

Other monsters that appeared were <>, an owl-shaped monster that attacked quickly from the sky, and <>, a slow-moving plant monster that used <> to stop us.

The Black Owl can be killed with a single blow if you hit it. And thanks to <>, I can easily keep up with its speed. Worms are the most troublesome, but fortunately their attack power is not so high, so I could manage by firing fire magic from the place where I was trapped. But the inefficiency and the lack of freedom of body is unpleasant and stressful.

Therefore, we avoid Worms and fight. It is faster to deal with multiple green slimes and black owls than a single wolm.

E! is reduced and I take a break, I receive a greeting mail from Ochazuke and Peter who have logged in. Both of them mention that they have been involved with black lilies. I'm so glad I went to bed early last night. ......!

After a short break, we hunt until dawn.

I try to slice the small moving nuclei into two equal parts as neatly as possible, and try to slice the black owls that come at me at high speed while drawing them as close as possible and [evading] them. What is the point of this, you may ask, but it is a hobby. Simple work is more enjoyable if you have a goal or a commitment to it.

I acquired the skill [Isshin] by defeating 500 enemies above the appropriate level by taking advantage of Mao's weak point.

I have acquired the skill [Sight Failure] for killing 500 enemies above my skill level at very close range during an enemy's attack.

...... Mm. It's good to stick with it!

If you attack a weak point, the damage will be increased. A certain probability of instant death.

Sensei] You can stop or parry an enemy's attack with your weapon or shield without taking damage.

He is awarded with a star.

Both of these two are not consecutive kills, so there will be some who get them in time. However, if there is no way to defeat a superior foe with a single blow, it will be necessary to make him weak and defeat him with an attack that meets the conditions at the end.

Oh, I see that there are no stars on the list, so I guess [Ganbatte] is already out. ...... Let's try our best to raise the level of [Concealment].

If I keep hitting two enemies at once, can't I learn to attack them all?

Result.

I mastered [Phantom Sword].

I can't tell if it's a swordsmanship skill or an assassin's skill.

The sword creates an illusion as if the blade is swinging, and the illusion also has an attack range. However, the power is not so high, so it is more subtle than [Issen], and it is faster to attack weak points one by one.
