Chapter 405 - 399 : Rewards

"Hehe. Why don't you take a look then."

Following that, Fudo set a part of his status to public display and the others followed suit.

"Level 11, level 10, level 9…damn." Sato raised an eyebrow at the sight. While he did expect some of the level ups, some left him surprised. 

Take for instance Seiichi, who was previously level 8. Though he was at the same level as Yato and Kastuo, he was ahead of them in terms of progress. While the duo had their Experience points bars at 10%, his was at 80%. Also, he had a major participation in the fight against the Kobold King, having appearances all the way from the beginning till the very end where the Kobold King was killed. Hence, Seiichi didn't just go up a level but two, becoming a level 11 [Ranger]. 

As for the others, Fudo reached level 11 too, whereas Lu Zhen had only managed to reach level 10, though he wasn't so far from 11. Yato and Katsuo, due to their meager participation, had only manged to reach level 9. But thanks to their fierce battle against the kobold horde and the level difference between them and the Kobold King, they weren't so far from reaching level 10.

"Everyone has improved and it's only a matter of time before the whole team could move to the city." Fudo smirked as if he as the one responsible for the changes.

"True, but you guys can't go yet. You have to give the Caventry's test a try first. We need to reap as much rewards from here as possible before we move over to a new location." Sato said with some thought.

"You're right." Seiichi nudged his glasses.

"But the test is based on skills and not level. And if I'm correct, we aren't strong enough yet, am I right?"

"Don't worry about that now. One step at a time, we will fix it." Sato replied.

"Now…"

With Sato giving the command, Fudo then extracted the items that dropped after the Kobold King's death from his space bag.

"Here they are." 

Sprawled on the floor was a bunch of items, ranging from equipment to materials and even scrolls.

"I didn't get to see it properly since we were in a hurry, but they are a lot." Yato exclaimed.

"I did a rough count earlier. 3 pieces of equipment, 35 or so materials, 2 scrolls and 3 items I couldn't identify." Fudo picked up the 3 items and handed it over to Sato. Of the 3 items, one was a mini cube similar to a rubik's cube in size. The second item was an aged scroll without any name, title or comprehensible words; only some scribbles and scratched parts were visible on the scroll. As for the last item, it was a bronze key.

"[Appraise]." Sato silently muttered as he held the bronze key.

[[ System notification :

The item couldn't be appraised because the user's knowledge and abilities are too low. Please request the aid of a certified [Appraiser]. ]]

Sato then tried the same on the remaining two items but he only got the same result.

"Guess I'll keep these till I find an [Appraiser]. No arguments right?" Sato asked.

"None." Everyone shook their head in response. 

With the way things were, Sato would be heading to the city before them as they still need to give the Caventry test a try. Sato however, was level 15; while the others at level 11 and 10 could still manage, he however, couldn't. There were no longer any monsters that could match up to his strength or even afford to give him 1 Experience point so Sato's growth would be severely hindered unless he left for the city. Leaving the 3 items with him would be much better as the information regarding them would be discovered faster than expected. Hence, no one had any reason to disagree with him.

"As for the others," 

Sato then picked the 3 pieces of equipment and appraised them one by one. Luckily for him, unlike with the 3 previous items, Sato was able to get some results this time around.
