38 - Traveling Together

"Well, what do we do now?　Do you want to keep improving your skills?"

"No, I'm not comfortable first."

It's my imagination.

No, no, no.

We are now resting on the footpath between the forest and the wheat field.

We set up a hideaway as a picnic sheet, and set up the table and chairs we bought at Sir's. We are eating a salad with steamed chicken--steamed doudou, consommé soup with onions and bacon, grilled hamburger steak with cheese, grilled tomatoes, small potatoes and green beans fried whole, and ruby berry sherbet as an accompaniment. He is. Beer and tea.

"If you care, you'll lose."

"Sometimes it hurts to look at the players who come all the way from the street to watch."

"Because without a table, it would be hard to eat a hamburger or something, wouldn't it?　Do you want a grilled skewer?"

"I don't think I'll mind."

Peter easily reverses his statement, refreshing.

I'll buy an iron table if it's on sale, so that it will more or less match the outdoors. An elegant table with cat legs and upholstered chairs would be too conspicuous next to a wheat field. At least in the daytime.

I have an outdoor lamp that I bought along with the cloaking lamp, but players with night vision or those who seem to have noticed my silhouette come up to me and move away.

The table is slightly brightened by the magic light. It was too dark to claim moody, so I added more light sources with <.

"So?　What do we do now?　Any quests you're in the middle of or anywhere else you want to go?"

He speaks to Peter, who is chomping down on a hamburger steak.

"Well, I'd like to get some deerskin for my equipment. I'm good with deer one-on-one, but I have a biased skill set that makes it hard for wolves to take on multiple deer at the moment.

Are you specialized in target assassination or assassination?

Peter says that he has too many fine skills to improve them, but I'm a bit suspicious of him because of his daily activities.

"I think the two of us could make it, since I was able to do it around Sir.

< and . He does not have a <.

Peter, Kikuhime, and Ochazuke can tell. I don't mind them finding out about Leo and Shin, but I'm afraid they'll slip up and tell the others. Why are they so rigid and tight in the real world, but so careless in this world?

< in public because it looks kind of weird!

"Well, can I have some deerskin?"

"Yes, yes."

That's what happened.

"Did you get the homura?"

Peter must have gotten it, judging from the way he asked.

"I don't know if it's a running technique, but I'm moving faster now. You want to try it?"

"Oh."

"It's blue, but it looks like a bunch of fireflies."

That one is a total assassin."

Impressions of each other's effects.

Peter also received a title when he ran the way he had learned to run. The black shadowy haze that surrounds his body is like a flame. He could have chosen the color, but he chose black with a slight reddish tinge or greenish black, but he chose black with a bluish tinge to match his hair.

The running style itself is ninja-like, moving from tree to tree, from shadow to shadow.

I tried to see a lone deer as much as possible, but at night, I noticed only herds of deer. I took a chance and hunted three deer, but the battle was easier than I had expected.

"They are so strong, I mean, they are so much faster than me, I have no place to stand.

"I just have better equipment, I want to improve my skill level and real skill level. Peter is kind of specialized strength, I'm not saying in which direction."

I'm a big fan of the H!? I also have a problem with the offensive power of Peter, but it's not a problem. I'm so glad I took the medicine!　H!? The battle is a battle of decreasing H!

What about recovery magic?

I'm applying it, okay?

Kill them before they take damage! I'm in a state of shock, so after the battle is over.

My spirit is 1.5 times more effective than the master ring, but my level of ...... and [recovery] is also low. It is better than Leo's recovery magic before.

No, I just don't have the time to do it because of the "kill before you are killed" method!

On the way, the place where we met < of Ochazuke was a mining point.

We got a <. A spirit stone is a gemstone that is often attached to wands and other items during production, and is popular among those who specialize in certain attributes. The effect is strong, but it is useless for me, who uses all the attributes. If the magic stone comes from demons, this is a spirit stone, so it is easy to get it from the place where the spirit appears. It is said that you can sometimes get a spirit stone by befriending a blessed spirit, but unfortunately I have not received one yet.

"[Shadow Blade]!"

"<>"

When [Dark Magic] reaches 20, several ravens with black auras appear and rush toward the target, having learned attack magic. They are powerful for being level 20. For the first time, the waiting time for chanting is just a little bit like lag.

And then Peter comes out of the shadow of the deer and slashes upward with some kind of technique. He slowly sinks into his own shadow, then emerges from the shadow of his attacker and quickly slashes up.

It's kind of cool.

"That's a cool move."

"Right?　It's an assassination-type thing. I don't know, I think it's a little more powerful."

He seems pleased with the compliment.

"Does the dark attribute increase the power of an assassin?"

"I'll go up."

"I have the blessing of the Dark God, and the effect of the blessing is on the party, I guess."

"Ah!　The one we just encountered in the woods around here!"

"Oh, yeah. It's supposed to increase item drops."

"Wow, I should have left Shin and the others behind when they called me."

Oh, Shin, Leo, Shin and Leo had all the time in the world to fish for enemies?　So you were chased by deer and bears and stuff?

"Oh, by the way, I got the blessing of the wind god and the blessing of the water god."

"Not only do you have blessings and favor, but also blessings?"

"Rather, is there such a thing as favor?　The blessing is the one with a lowered effect that you can get after asking someone who solves riddles. I accidentally saw it on the bulletin board and had no choice but to take it.

"Bulletin boards are dangerous!　I heard that the blessing of the wind god makes it easier to raise the level of skills. What's the water?"

"Hoho?　I thought it was just a compatibility increase with the attributes."

"I asked a resident with a higher appraisal level to look at it, and he said it has such an effect. It seems that if you have a low appraisal level, you can't see all the explanations."

"Homura has the wind blessing too, right?"

"Yes, you have."

"All right, I'll try to improve my skills."

Peter is dashing to the next deer, saying, "No wonder [Stealing], which was so hard to raise, is raised so much. I wonder where I can get the blessing of Phar, the god of water.

When Peter disappears, the enemy's target is me. Of course, there are only two of us.

I dodge with my sword, and thanks to [Sight Failure], the damage I would have taken even if I had dodged it is completely zero. No, I'm level 6, so even though I have , I still get hit sometimes, but I'm glad I took .

Peter is catching enemies so fast with his search-and-attack strategy that I don't have time to call up <>. I have to kill the enemies in a hurry, so I don't have time to use <. Peter is serious about leveling up.

It is faster to catch him with the sword than to call <. And by the way, I used and the monsters came to me....

I'm trying to get rid of them with my sword, but since Peter is here, I'd like to give him a lower level of magic. If it's a deer, Peter's blow and my magic will be enough to defeat it. Except for Darkness, his level is low, but he has double INT!　Master ring!!!!　Because of the equipment limitation of weapons, they are not as strong as Warriors, but they are more than strong enough.

When there are more than two of them, use [Dark Magic] or [Lightning]. By the way, <> sometimes paralyzed the enemy, and when paralyzed, he could steal as much as he wanted, but he could not fail, and if he took two pieces, he could not steal from those who had nothing.

Peter's level has gone up.

Maybe it's because of his favoritism, but his AGI (agility) has gone up like crazy!　My eyes just darted!

So I was repeatedly using my sword to pass them off and then using [equipment change] to take out my wand and use magic, and then the announcement came.

By changing weapons and defeating 1,000 enemies above the appropriate level in a row, the skill [Change Equipment] will lead to the higher level skill [Weapon Retention].

Why is the higher level of change holding?　And now you've added a level?

I learned some skills.

I got one, too.

Peter seems to have learned something too.

"Is 1,000 fish a standard for a party?"

If it's a party, does that mean Peter also acquired some skills solo?

"I guess, when I first came here, I took a lot of breaks from collecting and such, and it was a waste of time.　What did you learn?"

"I learned, or rather, I learned how to [surprise] while [shadow diving]."

"You seem strong."

"I'm getting better at shadow diving, and I'm getting faster at it, so I think I'm strong in a one-on-one fight.　If you can't kill them with a single blow and they counterattack, your defense is paper-thin, and if there's more than one, they'll notice you before you can dive and you'll be out. What about you?"

"This one is called [Weapon Retention], which is a higher level conversion of [Equipment Change], but it looks like you can use two of them out in the surrounding area?　It doesn't really ring a bell."

"Why don't you try it anyway?"

A wand floats within arm's reach of my body.

It seems possible to activate magic while swinging the sword. If I hold it with my dominant hand while it floats, the power is normal; if I don't touch it, the power is reduced to about a quarter of the normal power. The fact that there is a level of power may mean that the power of the sword can be improved.

The sword I let go of when I grasped the staff is still floating around me. It seems that I can activate my skills without touching it.

"So, there is such a form of double-skill?

"Peter has a double skill?　Are there levels?"

Come to think of it, didn't Peter use something like that?　That's what I'm thinking.

"No. Even if I use two of them, it won't lower the power, but if I use it during [Shadow Diving] or , the state will be canceled, so I'm thankful for the skill I just took. Do you have a level there?"

"It's perfect."

"I'm looking forward to seeing more of it."

"It's strange that physical skills, aside from magic, come out even if you don't swing a sword or something. The tip of the sword is aimed at the target, but..."

"My [double skill] is used by holding the gem, so it's strange that it comes out of a floating sword. It's nice to have a skill that comes directly from experience, even though I don't have enough skill points.

"[Wise man] got a title that has the effect of -1 skill point for acquiring legal skills, right?　It costs at least 1 and does not go down to zero. I'm sure there's one for physics and stuff like that."

"I'd be glad to have it. I think I ...... took magic, bandit skills, and assassin skills equally."

"You're still aiming for a tricky fighting style."

"It's fun. Oh, no. I was so busy building up my skills that I didn't take into account the time it takes to get back to the city."

Solo Solo break, in reality it would have been lunch time and time for Peter to go to work.

"Yeah, I'll take care of that."

The first return spell is unveiled.

I wonder if I would be the only one to return if it weren't for this [range magic].

"Really?"

The first word about the transfer gate, "Really?

"I thought there would be a return or a transition, but I guess it's magic... I wonder if I can get a transition without taking the light."

Peter has been struggling with his skill points and has acquired [dark magic] first without having acquired [earth magic] yet. I hope he can get 10 kinds of magic soon, but I can't tell you because I don't want him to be unable to get them.

I can't tell you because I don't want to tell you so that you can't get it.

"Homura has already taken light, and spoiler alert, some of the assassin skills require that you don't have light, so I'm going to keep it that way."

"I see, so you live in the dark?　I think you can get [sky magic] that can be used for return even if you don't take light. Besides, you might be able to get another skill that can be substituted for it, just like the double-skill?"

Let's hope so."

"Also, I wonder if I can make items for the return if I have <>, maybe."

"I've never seen a 'nothing' before..."

"I don't have any either. Well, I'll look for it patiently.

"No, I'll look for it as soon as possible."

Peter ran off to the inn, saying he would bring back the stone when he found it.

Time is running out in the real world.

I walk out into the city at night to get to the inn.

My regular lodging is a small inn off the main street that Luba introduced to me. It is not an inn for adventurers, and the innkeeper is probably already asleep. The key to the inn is not left at the front desk but left with the guest so that late night guests can come and go as they please, although I can still enter the inn at this hour.

When I first heard about this, I wondered if the security was safe, but it seems that there is no problem because the key is a magic key, and if the key is not returned after the reservation period, the door cannot be opened with that key.

One key opens the front door and the door to your room, and when you return the key at the end of your stay, you get some of the room charge back. The food prepared by the hostess here is quite delicious, and I regret that I cannot eat it today.

I take a bath in my room and crawl into bed.

The nice thing about this place is that even single occupancy rooms have a bath. The rooms are small and almost full of beds, though.

Well, what am I going to do when I wake up?

I need to make an accessory to equip the <<> that Tasya made for me, and I should put it on the list of [crafting] before I accumulate skill points for the time being. I heard that there are dwarven blacksmiths and craftsmen in King's Landing. It might be better to learn in King's Landing. So the magic stone processing is in King's Landing, too. I must go to Wangdu.

I turn off the lamp on the side table, thinking about the production skills.
