I've been to the Adventurers' Guild, having completed production and consignment at Fast, taking advantage of the free transport to registered places.
I wanted to raise [Jewelry] as well, but the distribution of gems is limited in the gears, and silver, which seems to be good for accessories, is scarce due to the fierce competition at the moment. I will stock up on materials later when I visit the isle.
It is rather nice and convenient to be able to get to the transition gate instantly from anywhere in the city, rather than for free. But since I can't stop exploring the alleys, I'm not going to use it in the city except when I have a rendezvous with someone.
"Al, don't you collect data on other countries here?"
The aroma of tea wafts through the dry room. I ask Al as I search for the description of the information I want.
We are visiting Al's reference room in the archives. Tea and chocolate gâteau with orange peel.
I prepared it, but I didn't realize that I am allowed to read while eating and drinking in the reference room (here).
"The state of the country will be confiscated if you overdo it. Information on demons is always welcome.
"What about information on demons that might break a little system in the country, or rather in the guild?"
The Adventurers' Guild is sorted here. We have a policy of restricting public access, but we do work with guilds in other countries."
"Hmm, I heard that the sea serpents of the shipping state of Fagat are extremely susceptible to poison."
You bring a lot of bombs.
Al stopped the cup of tea he was about to drink and looked at me.
"Really?"
"That's pretty well established as a condition for promotion to B rank and as an event."
"Well, we can't just pour poison into the ocean, can we?
"Do you have poison magic?"
No?
"Where's the skin of the Sea Serpent?"
"I have it."
"I'll pay for it, just give me a few pieces."
Then I guess I'm entitled to a cup of tea here.
He said with a very serious air of pretension and offered me the skin of a sea serpent.
"O.K."
Al takes it with a smile.
"I'll have a medicine man I know test it to see if the poison works."
Will the skin work?
"Yes, I think it will work. I don't think extreme means it's in the bloodstream or digested.
"I see."
"Thank you. There are few adventurers who only bring their knowledge, but voluntarily deliver it. I hope you will bring it to me again.
Al gave me his partner card (Patoka)!
I leave the baked goods for the receptionist with Al and leave the reference room.
It crossed my mind that there might be a lot of guys in the exchange for my patrol car, but I couldn't go anywhere near the battle for the receptionist.
A receptionist with a red ponytail noticed me coming down the stairs and bowed to me, to which I returned the bow. Her name was Nana, I think.
There is a theory that the reason why there are so many single women at the reception desk is because the ratio of male to female adventurers is high, and the guilds have placed them there intentionally as a customary practice for a long time in order to provide a meeting place for them, to get the ruffians used to talking to women, and to reduce their roughness when they talk with the residents around them.
However, I have a feeling that most of the adventurers are young girls because of the players. In fact, today again, there are men hanging around the counter from a distance, with a few young girls mixed in here and there. I guess we are not supposed to think about the gender of the people inside, but I guess that's the way it is.
Even with this in mind, there are many men staring at the counter to see if there is any secret game or if they make eye contact with the receptionist. The group of guys who are looking for the receptionist with big breasts are making a fuss every time her breasts sway.
These guys have guts.
I'm thinking of presenting the book I got from the isle to the used bookstore, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to remember the meeting time if I stop by now, since I'll be too absorbed in reading.
I'll check to see if Julius' staff is ready and join the knight's training.
When I asked for the staff, I didn't know that there is such a big difference in the level of progress of the staff at the level of over 30, and I would have ordered a staff in the late 30's or early 40's.
I prepared a magic stone to give him abilities if he could not equip it even if he could. The two abilities are INT and MID.
I will ask him to show me his wand, and I will think about which one to put on it, and leave it with him again. I will refine Christina's magic stone a little more and ask her to use it for her next wand.
"Hello.
"Ah, Homura-san."
A flowery smile is what I call a smile that makes a flower bloom.
Julius is the slimmest and prettiest boy I know in this world, except for the Goddess of Shame. Not that he's a boy's girl, but he's at an age where he doesn't seem to have any s*xuality...well, I'm not going to pursue this because it's going to be a dangerous thought.
"I'm sorry, I can't wand you yet. I'm trying to get the materials from my father's contacts, but it's not going as smoothly as I'd like."
Yes, I should have taken into account not only the level, but also the fact that there are not many high-ranked materials available in this country.
"No, I was the one who was reckless last time because I didn't know much about production. I only brought rubies. Next time, I can't help you with the technical stuff, but if you get stuck on a material, will you call me?"
"Yes."
"For your information, what materials are needed for the wand?"
Gems, magic stones and wood are the main ingredients. The rest are metals that go well with magic power and materials from demons.
"What kind of materials are used for demons, for example?"
Crystals and horns. I've heard that the materials dropped by demons that use magic or attribute skills are the ones that are compatible with magic power.
"I see."
I think it's only polyps in the dias. I have bitter memories of being chased around by fire and having to flee.
"Wood seems to be the problem."
"If it's a big one, you can use the horns and bones as heartwood."
"Okay, I'll be careful. I'm not up to par either, so take your time.
Apparently, Julius had been waiting for the arrival of new materials and had been working with what he could find. Many of the canes, although of low rank, are highly evaluated. The designs, although not spectacular, are well balanced and carefully crafted in detail, and can be described as beautiful.
I think I have found a good cane maker who is hardworking and dedicated.
Now for the knight's training.
I noticed now that the training always raises [Swordsmanship] and [Sword] by 1, perhaps I should have taken the training at a higher level, or at least at the skill level of 30. It is too late for me since I have already accepted the training.
The last training partner, Nex, uses a thrusting sword.
It seems that he can cut as well as thrust, but Nex is good at avoiding and stepping into the opponent's weak spot. Nexus can strike through gaps in armor, at joints such as wrists and knees, and at the throat, and if he neglects his defense, even for a moment, his thrusts will fly.
When you attack, they are especially hard to counter with a counter attack, which is a casual feint such as stepping forward and avoiding a thrust, or simply moving their eyes to look at you.
I feel that Nex is not only anticipating my actions but also guiding them to some extent, while I am relying on the speed of my equipment to cope with them.
You see, I am an ordinary person, though my basic ability is high due to the compensation.
E!? I was able to deal with him until I ran out of E!
I may not need it against demons, but I want to train it since I'm going to wield a sword.
E! 0 is so dull.
He thanks Nex and drags his heavy body to the end of the room to serve tea.
If you leave it at E! If you leave it at E!.0, then M!.0 reduces the status by three-fourths, and then H!.0 reduces it by one-fourth. 0, then M! Let's have a meal before that happens, he thinks and drinks tea.
"May I have some tea?
As expected, Nex came.
"Here you go."
He brewed a cup of tea and offered it to her.
"Well, this is delicious. I've always avoided it because I thought it tasted a bit muddy, unlike coffee.
"Maybe it was the old tea leaves."
"I see."
We sipped tea for a while and watched the training together.
"Are you a demon specialist?"
"For now, yes."
"Maybe I should play against people once in a while. If it's difficult, try faking or guiding your opponent's moves, even if he's an easy demon to defeat. I hear that some demons are intelligent, though I don't hear it in this country. It's good to practice."
"Okay. I'm told I'm limited to five sessions, but if I pay you, I can come here on occasion?"
"I don't offer one-on-one instruction, but I'm open to it."
Thanks, I'll stop by sometime."
I have completed my training at the Knight Training Center.
Please choose any one of the following skills
[Gathering, Offensive] Slightly increase the offensive power of the entire party/alliance.
[Gathering, Defense] Slightly increase the defense of the entire party/alliance.
Damage is multiplied by 1.1 when using a two-handed sword.
Nito Ryu] Use both hands to wield a one-handed sword at the same time.
The Way of the Sword] It becomes easier to acquire a sense of swordplay.
I chose the way of the sword.
As I am aware that I am indebted to both [Taijutsu] and [Evasion], I have no choice but to choose them. I'm also attracted to the two-sword sword.
I hear that there is also a [double sword], so I'll be looking forward to that. I heard that [Nito Ryu] allows you to use two different weapons, while [Futaken] only allows you to use the same type of sword, but that's okay because [Weapon Retention] is also available.
Leo, Peter, and Kikuhime log in one after another.
It is time to move to Faina. We need to see the sights!
Gently enter an unpopular back alley and use .
There were no players in the temple of Faina.
Fewer people must have defeated the water polyps. If it is the same as the case of Fire Polyp, the rear guard must also raise their defense to some extent and be careful not to let the healer fall down, since there are many attacks on non-shield players.
It seems to me that it is a hard enemy if you do not have multiple means of recovery, as in the case of Phos's Dade Lizard.
Go out without feeling the presence of anyone except priests.
The gate cannot be used without defeating the water polyp. Since it is possible to move around by carriage, there may be people gathered in the square.
Now, I have already acquired the skills for making accessories that I was supposed to acquire in Faina (here). I have to see, but I am sure that there will be more jewelry to be made in the isle.
I was expecting to find dwarves, but I was told that there are many rugged dwarves living here who are good at blacksmithing instead of jewelry making.
I have no intention of acquiring a blacksmithing skill, leaving that to Luba for now. It sounds fun, but the skill points!
How many times have I wondered why I took [Slash] when I had no use for it? No, it seems that normal swordsmen take [Slash] and use it as a derivative of various skills. If you use it, you can get various kinds of skills depending on the situation and how you use it, I don't know.
Blacksmithing is also said to derive skills influenced by occupation, just as my alchemy is derived from alchemy influenced by my occupation. Blacksmithing is said to be affected not only by occupation but also by STR or VIT.
If a swordsman has STR>VIT or STR=VIT, weapon blacksmithing is derived, and if STR
From there, sword smithing, dagger smithing, and other types of smithing are also derived. It seems that the weapon smiths can make a wide range of weapons, and from there, they can specialize.
The stores between the temple and the guilds in King's Landing are large, and it is not interesting to walk around and check them out from the street. It would be nice to enter the stores, but I am hesitant to do so when I have no intention to buy anything at the moment. We ended up killing time in an alley lined with miscellaneous stalls leading from the food stalls.
There is a wide variety of food, but the food stalls are very flavorful.
There are a few places here and there that sell beer together, which was scarce in the fast food stalls, or perhaps only one. Mosbar...... reminds me of the story of the head of the Mos Commercial Guild, who has a near monopoly on alcohol in the capital.
The strong taste is not only due to the large number of manual laborers among the customers, but also to the beer. Sweat depletes the body of salt and beer increases potassium. Potassium and sodium must be balanced or the osmotic pressure of the cells will be ......, well, anyway, beer makes you crave salt. As a customer, if it is not salty, it is not enough.
I am not a manual laborer, or is a magic swordsman a manual laborer? At any rate, I am not a sweaty worker and I don't drink beer. A plate of food from this stall is enough for me.
Oh no, I want to eat other people's food, but my own food is more palatable. I want to go back to the fast inn. I'm sure the innkeeper and his wife will improve their cooking skills if I bring them some ingredients.
The restaurant on the isle is exceptional, but it's so exceptional that I'm going bankrupt.
I bought the tub at Sir.
The porcelain was bought at Foss.
As for accessories, I just saw the work of Garganos at Navai Grande, so I have nothing of the design that attracts me.
I'll be honest,
The guildmasters of the commercial guild told me that the first time they arrived it was raining and they could not enjoy the scenery from the gondola. And the impressions of the two different cities I visited right after that, the tree-covered capital of the Isle and the sun-drenched Navai Grande, did not give me a good impression of the royal city of Faina.
After liberating Faina, it might be normal to spend a few days in the area to raise the adventurer's rank as well as to level up. As soon as I defeated the boss, I returned to the city without liberating it, and stayed there only for a very short time after liberating it. I went to the next town without getting used to it.
This is another distortion, I think, but I do not regret it.
I enjoy spending time with Galahad and I still regret that I could not follow the labyrinth city because of my lack of ability. When I heard the announcement of the release of the labyrinth by the Flame King, or was it the Flame King, I felt like burning for a moment. But I don't regret that I am now working alone to improve my abilities.
I have low skills and no player skills, and I would regret only raising my level, but I would also regret calling Galahad by force with my partner card (Patoka) to defeat the enemies in the area, and interfere with his work.
Fortunately, Sea Serpent has helped me to improve my skills, so I'll ask him if I can go with him next time.
Oh....
I have to improve [concealment] by then. Galahad and Camilla will make fun of me for sure!
No, wait a minute, how high do I have to raise it? I have a feeling that 30 is definitely not enough.
Please wait for the next one until I've hidden all the [Bunchujutsu]!
