I do not know what the clerk behind the counter thought about me since I left so fast while looking quite shocked, and to be honest, I do not care about it. He could even sprinkle the entire floor of the shop wit salt to avoid getting it contaminated with poverty for all that I care, but that was the only thing that I could have done in this situation, because the prices there were at least three to four times higher than what was supposedly set up as the standard price for the mirrors in Palmasque!
How was it, master?
Sherry checked in with me after I went back home.
The mirrors in Imperial City were no different than the ones in Palmasque. I think it might be more than possible that the people in the Imperial City bought these mirrors at lower prices and elevated them up even further when they moved the mirrors from Palmasque to their shops, because they were way higher than what you told me the standard prices were.
I thought that that might be the case, because increasing the price of something that you have bought at a lower price is a standard business strategy.
Uhm certainly, this might be true if you only look at the price, but in truth, the transportation of the mirrors between cities , even when using the methods available for the Adventurers, is relatively difficult.
Transporting the mirrors is actually difficult, huh? Well, thinking about it now, there is no way for it to not be difficult, since if you wanted to do this by using Field Walker, then you would have no choice but to do it by transferring the mirror through a number of different Adventurer Guilds in a row, and if you are not an Adventurer who has access to the Field WalkerSkill, then such a trip is definitely going to be a costly one, and it is going to be extremely difficult to close such a trip within one day of time, since the teleports from Zabir to Palmasque are only carried out three times a day: in the morning, at noon and in the evening.
Good. Even though we are on the tenth floor of the Labyrinth, it looks like the good old strategy of have Roxanne occupy the Floor Bosss attention while you continue to go towards its back where you continue to molest it until the Floor Boss drops deadis still the one that can be utilized effectively.
What monsters are going to be waiting for us on the tenth floor?
I believe they are going to be Escape Goats.
Ahh, I see.
Escape Goats, my absolutely favorite enemy to fight that does not have any bullshit mechanics that it is going to be abusing whatsoever. So yeah, as you can clearly tell from my very enthusiastic description, I love fighting against them and how troublesome they are with their escape mechanic once their health drops down sufficiently low. And now that they are going to be Lv.10, I am sure that they are going to become an even greater nuisance than ever before.
The first Escape goat that we happened upon was shot with three shots of my magic, and, surprising absolutely nobody, it immediately tried to turn around and make its escape. Those three spells that I fired against it should have done the damage of roughly around half of its total HP
It seems to still run away after its lost half its health, so three more spell, six of them in total, should be enough to bring it down and defeat it. But now that it has already started to run away, I would have to aim my spells perfectly without allowing even a single one of them to miss their mark. If I am going to be even one millimeter off with my aim, the Escape Goat is going to escape, taking the EXP points and potential Drop Items with it.
Now that we are on the tenth floor of Quratars Labyrinth and the NT Ants were on the ninth floor, it is going to mean that they are going to be appearing more often, and if they are going to be paired up with Escape Goats, it is going to be the worst possible combination for us, since we will have to mix up being cautious not to allow NT Ants to poison us with the need to chase after the Escape Goats that are going to try and flee from the battlefield constantly. Damn it, this is exactly why I was so afraid of fighting against mixed groups of more and more enemies. Right now, we should still be more or less fine, but what are we going to do if we ever encounter more enemies that are going to have escape as their main gimmick?
