Chapter 430 – 430

After taking out the guy holding the gun, I calmly looked at the two remaining beggars, homeless robbers.

When the four gun-wielding comrades were eliminated in an instant, the men lost their will to fight and simply held their swords.

I asked, shaking my finger at them.

“Where’s your wallet? Wallets with about a pound in them. I heard you guys stole from Ellen’s house and her friends a while ago? Give it to me. “Whoever gets it first will be spared.”

“”… Hehe.””

“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? Are you saying that the person who brings it back will be spared? “Do you both want to die?”

“… Go, I’ll get it! I’ll get it right now! … Profit, get out of my way. “I will bring it!”

Although common sense would not have allowed me to survive in this situation, I instinctively felt that the skill I had recently acquired, ‘deception,’ had been applied.

Although they were honestly dubious, they somehow fell for my strangely persuasive lies and actively cooperated in giving me their hidden assets.

The beggars were fighting with each other and tried to give me the stolen money first.

Although he was struggling, when I yelled at him to get it quickly, he dug out the wallet that was hidden on the ground in a cave and politely brought it to me.

If I had tried to find the wallet hidden on the ground in the cave on my own without any hints, it would have been well hidden in a location that would make it almost impossible to find.

“… Hmm? It’s over a pound. It’s probably a little over 3 pounds? What is this? Did you steal it from other people too?”

“… Yes, that’s right. Stealing money from other people passing by… Oh, there are three horses over there. We are raising them by robbing them… Originally, I was planning to leave once the number of stolen horses increased to 8. It’s true.”

“… Well, please at least spare our lives…, We only killed 4 people. I also killed four of our colleagues, so our lives… Or even just my life…”

“Damn. “Look around, you bastards.”

The idea that your life would be spared if you handed over your wallet first was a blatant lie in the first place.

I swung my sword and killed the two remaining survivors of a group of homeless beggars, murderers and robbers who were begging for their lives, and then found three horses in a place where the horses were said to be hidden.

“Hehe, what a lucky side income.”

Originally, 1 pound would be returned and in return, it would be halved to 0.5 pounds… In other words, only 10 shillings were scheduled to be received.

However, this group of beggars and homeless robbers stole a lot of things from other people, so the money I got from this was 2.5 pounds and the price of 3 horses.

One horse weighs approximately 5 to 20 pounds.

At least with just 3 horses, you could get at least 15 pounds.

“With this much money…, I think it will be enough to find my favorite horse, ‘Bell.'”

After searching through the den of beggars and gathering useful things, I packed up all the weapons they had dropped in subspace and returned to Springfield Valentine Village with three horses.

Upon returning to the village, he went straight to the only private stable and horse-trading shop in the village and immediately disposed of the three horses.

And luckily, I found my horse, ‘Belle’, who had been tied up as gambling collateral in the stable.

The guy who took the bell from me at a gamble must have lost the money to someone else and left the bell as collateral for his gambling money at this stable to borrow money.

Originally, it was forbidden to carelessly give away someone else’s collateral, but since my horse was famous in the village, the stable owner obediently gave it up when I gave him money.

“Bell. Have you been resting well in the stable? I, your true master, have come.”

Belle is a thoroughbred horse with a good pedigree, and is a filly with a strange golden color because she was born from a cross between a white horse and a yellow horse.

This horse wasn’t that great of a horse, but it was a smart horse that was raised by me from a young age, so it listened well to what I said and understood what I meant.

“Purring!”

“Are you angry? I’m here to take it back, so let go of your anger. “I’ll buy you plenty of carrots and apples, which you like.”

It was Belle, a mare who seemed quite irritated and upset.

This guy was much smarter than I thought, so he must have known that he had been sold as gambling collateral.

When I told him that I bought him a lot of delicious food, he lowered his raised eyes and pretended to vent his anger.

“Purring! Purung! Purung! Hee! Hee hee!”

“You like it? Lots of carrots and apples? So you’re saying you’ll just look at it this time? Yes, thank you.”

Now that I had recovered the bell, I headed to my original destination, the police station, and told the town sheriff that I had taken care of the group of beggars, homeless murderers and robbers, and handed over the weapons they used and 10 shillings, equivalent to half a pound.

The content of the request was for me to keep half of one pound as the request fee, so there was no need to give me the rest of the money, which was my share.

‘In reality, they killed all the beggars and robbed them… I earned 2.5 pounds, or 50 shillings. I earned 15 pounds for the three horses, not including the money I got back from Belle.’

“Hey, old man. “I took care of them all.”

“Yes, I heard. I heard you brought 3 horses and sold them at the stable? … I knew it would be resolved one way or another, but I thought it would take more than a day or two… It arrived sooner than expected? As expected, it was a good thing I left it to you. You solved it right away without dragging it on. Well done.”

“Is the news so fast already? Aren’t you old yet? “It’s alive.”

“Hmph, how long have I been a sheriff in this town? I’ll come straight to the police station, but I’ll start from the stable…, Tsk. Why did you give me these weapons? “Is it my gift?”

“Is that possible? The police department in Springfield-Valentine Village purchases weapons used in crimes in our area and exchanges them for money. “I’ll sell this, so give me the money.”

“I know the village laws well…, Tsk. You bastard. Even though you know the law well, I told you not to act like a fool and become a formal sheriff.”

“No. I don’t think it would be fun. And my soul is too free to be bound by such a security system.”

“… Tsk tsk, it’s because I’m not yet mature enough. … Well, here it is. This is the money for purchasing weapons used in crimes. “I can’t give you the guns right away because they’re expensive, but I’ll pay for the knives first.”

“One, two, three… 40 shillings, or 2 pounds? “Don’t you have to give me at least 4 pounds?”

“Large knives cost 1 pound per knife, depending on the material and condition. “You brought two knives, so this is correct.”

“What are you talking about? “It should also include a dagger.”

“Don’t hit me with a dagger. Don’t you know that either? It’s because I know the law poorly. Go to a blacksmith shop or general store and sell it. … Hmm, I don’t know if I’ll get 1 shilling per piece since it’s in such bad condition. If I sell everything, will you give me 1 shilling? Is this a dagger meant to be used for emergency purposes? … Now, take the daggers here and sell them.”

“Tsk. No need. It’s a gift to the old man. “Just give me some pocket money.”

I just left without taking the daggers used by the homeless beggars and thugs.

As the village sheriff said, the daggers were very rusty and poorly maintained as they were not maintained properly.

If you apply just a little bit of force, it will break.

When I looked closely, it wasn’t a dagger made of good iron to begin with.

Perhaps because the weapon skill level increased to level 70, I was able to understand these things right away.

There were a total of 6 daggers, and even if they were sold as the old sheriff said, they looked like they were worth about 1 shilling for scrap metal.

So, I just threw it away and left the village police station.

‘Oops. I need to have a normal conversation.’

〈 The first additional trial on the 11th floor. Completed ‘Have a normal conversation with the village sheriff’. 〉

〈 As a reward for completing the first additional trial on the 11th floor, ‘Skill: Leadership Lv.1’ is provided. 〉

〈 Leadership Lv.1: You have the natural talent and charisma to lead others. It has a similar effect to leadership or leadership. The abilities of members belonging to the same group and the unity of the organization increase, and loyalty and friendliness toward those with leadership skills improve. (Passive skill) 〉

〈 The second additional trial on the 11th floor is ‘Creating a Gang’. All you have to do is from a criminal organization that will follow your lead. 〉

I turned around again and tried to enter the police station, but the additional ordeal was completed when normal conversation was completed.

When I thought about it, I thought that the additional ordeal would have been resolved if I had just talked casually instead of sticking to ‘normal conversation’.

But it’s already happened…, I can’t help it…

‘Leadership, is it a level that gives skills? I used a deception technique earlier.’

Looking carefully at the skills and additional trials obtained on the 11th floor of this tower, it seems that the skills given as rewards are for the next additional trials.

‘I decided to carry out a quest with the village sheriff, so the first additional trial dragged on and was completed after completing the quest. Originally, I think I would have put my deception skills to good use when I stole something from somewhere and had a normal conversation with the town sheriff without getting caught, pretending I didn’t commit a crime.’

The same was true for leadership skills.

It was obvious that if you had leadership in the next additional trial, ‘creating a gang,’ you would be able to create a gang much more easily.

‘It’s a floor that gives skills for the next trial…’

I think what I intuitively feel is roughly correct.

‘Hmm… Is the staircase going roughly like this? ‘It’s not bad.’

There was no reason to refuse when they said they would give you skills for free if you solved additional trials that weren’t that difficult.

Above all, it wasn’t a bad idea to wander around and have fun in this world.

“Because I have money…, I need to spend money, hmm…”

When I thought about how to spend the money I had, the first thing that came to mind was the gambling den and brothel in Springfield’s Valentine Village.

Among them, I was especially interested in going to a brothel.
