I see. That is certainly true, and it might work in our favor.
Currently, there are not many situations where we are surrounded by monsters, so there is not much need of swinging a Club around to clear our surroundings.
That is right. However, we have been fighting mostly against NT Ants and Escape Goats. I have no idea if it will be same against other monsters.
There is another reason why I am so insistent on her using a spear, but should I really say it? Oh well, it is not like I have that much to lose, so I will just spit it out anyway.
We will eventually have more Party members, the more the Party members, the less the opportunities you are going to have to swing your Club around.
I have to put the stress on the need for more Party members.
I see. Okay.
The more Party members we have, the more options we have for making a diverse and versatile vanguard. Sherry can then drop behind the vanguard and attack with a spear. In that case, you can also take on the role of healer. So as you can see, if you use spear, we can afford to have more flexible battle strategy.
But I am not a Shrine Maiden, so I cannot use any Healing Magic and other methods of curing wounds.
Ah, yes, that is right. I have yet to tell her that she actually has a Shrine Maiden Job.
It is alright. You are a Master Smith already, so do not worry about it too much for now.
Okay I will do my best.
As for a healer, vanguard can take on that role.
When Sherry nods in affirmation, albeit a bit forced, Roxanne interjects.
Really?
That is what I thought, but in the off chance that the fusion does end up in failure, the Rabbit Skill Crystal is going to be gone forever, and there will be no getting it back. But that is the worst-case scenario, the one that I am currently not even going to consider. As soon as I get the chance, I should also get a Kobold Skill Crystal for myself.
The person who bid fifty three hundred Nars last time might not bid anymore, so that might be my chance. If I manage to play my cards right, then maybe I will not need to offer fifty four hundred Nars after all?
The person who bid fifty three hundred Nars last time might not bid anymore, so maybe I will not need to offer fifty four hundred Nars after all? But if I want to be absolutely sure that I am going to get it, then maybe I will not have any other choice?
People buy it for fifty two hundred Nars as well, and they will also need to buy the same number of Skill Crystals to fuse them with the ones they might already have. But if I end up missing out on it, I can always go hunt for the Kobold Skill Crystal in the Labyrinth. Thinking about it now, maybe I could have waited a bit?
That way, I could have saved hundreds of Nars, because the amount of other bidders will surely decrease at some point or another.
Okay, I will aim for a kobold Skill Crystal for up to fifty four hundred Nars.
I would also like to get a Goat Skill Crystal.
The Goat Skill Crystal? The last successful bid for it was five thousand Nars. The time before last was fifty one hundred Nars. It might cost a bit more to obtain it immediately though. It often sells from forty seven to forty eight hundred when it is on the cheaper side, and up to between fifty four and fifty five hundred Nars if it is on the expensive side.
Luke gives a quick answer with the estimation of the price of a Goat Skill Crystal. This is a lot of numbers to take in, but I will have to remember them all. While I was busy talking things out with Luke, Sherry was looking through the list of bid results in the waiting room.
That is a rather high price.
The Mage is the main fire power in a Party, so it is perfectly understandable. Increasing magic attack power is the first choice for a Party if they have a Mage as well. Also, parents of Mages are normally quite wealthy, and it is easy to go to upper floors of the Labyrinths if you have a Mage, so the price of the Goat Skill Crystal goes up compared to other Skill Crystals.
So Skill Crystals are actually coveted by the rich people and the nobles that much, huh? That is another fact that is definitely going to be worthy of noting.
I see, so there is no helping it then. In that case, I will buy a Goat Skill Crystal for up to fifty four hundred Nars.
As you wish.
You are not going to ask if I am really fine with just one if I maybe do not want more of them? I am disappointed in you, Mr. Luke, honestly. Nevertheless, this Skill Crystal is going to be a necessity for me. I also need more Skill Crystals for Chant Interruption, and Sacrificial Misangas, but for the time being I am only in need of one Goat Skill Crystal. Yeah, just one will be absolutely fine. I cannot mention that one is enough though.
Luke does not need to know that Sherry is going to be succeeding with her fusions every single time. That means I should probably buy extras of those Skill Crystals, just to shake any potential suspicion off my back. Eventually I will need it on multiple items, so they will not be wasted, they are just going to have to wait for their turn to be of use to me.
