Chapter 170 – Only Successful People Attend Class Reunions (05)

I had a long chat with Hollyo.

Although we didn’t like alcohol very much, we brought out wine because we thought it was a nice atmosphere, but after a while, Hollyo was retching with his head on the floor.

‘I heard that alcohol is really weak…’

What can I do? After calling my wife and sending her away, I followed the instructions of another upper-level employee and went into the room assigned to me.

Anyway, the third floor here is at the top of Alphyrio, and it is a place that the leadership has rented out, so there is no problem going in anywhere, but I went into the darkest place with the least light.

When I lie down on the bed, Inori is half-buried in the shadows and in the same blanket as me. If we overlap like this, even if someone outside tries to detect my presence her her her, they will think I am sleeping a little wider.

In fact, it would be safer to be buried in the shadows, but from Inori’s perspective, it would also be frustrating to be in the shadows all day, and I thought it would be because just lying down with me like this made my love level rise.

As I woke up early in the morning and was about to leave the dorm, the mercenary who was dozing off on the first floor sensed my presence and reacted slightly.

To others, it would have looked like he was just sleeping with his back against the wall, but to my eyes, I could see him putting his hand on the mace hanging on his waist her.

“Hmm.”

After confirming my identity his and that I was a friend of his employer his, he lowered his hand again, but did not forget to be wary of me.

“Slave No. 1.”

Using her her her her ‘her voice her her her’her her to call her her her William, she appeared before me in her drowsy, frazzled form from the morning. I took her with me, beyond her broken walls her, and let her her mercenaries her fight her. I took them to a place that was used as a temporary practice ground.

“I have something to test for a moment.”

“Yes, master.”

Of course, Inori is also attached to me, but Inori’s special skills are sneak attack, infiltration, assassination, and [Shadow Ninjutsu], Not all-out combat.

Richard is there too, but he said he had to escort me, so he stayed in front of the room all night, but now he just changed his shift and went to sleep. (I didn’t need that guard because I had Inori, but I couldn’t let others know that Inori was accompanying me.) Please. Since I couldn’t do it, I called for the next best solution.

“It’s morning, so let’s go light.”

“Yes, master.”

When William swung the mace, I only defended one-sidedly and received her attacks. At first, I stumbled while blocking the mace with all my strength, but now I was able to dodge most of her attacks by swinging the sword skillfully.

‘It’s a little bit, but have your abilities increased?’

These days, as I enter the second part, I feel like the Five Elements and No-Heartless Method is coming back little by little, perhaps because the game has restarted or because I have come to my senses again.

It didn’t increase by 1 per day like before, but if I sleep well like now or wake up every few days, I can feel my ability level increasing by 1.

‘There is no significant change in the body, but’

Still, as time passed, he got used to his longer limbs and learned how to exert his strength with this body, so to others, it would appear that his abilities were rapidly becoming stronger.

In fact, William was amazed that he had become so strong in such a short period of time.

Boom!

“Huh… Huh… No more…”

If there was a similar or greater difference in skill, attacking was several times more difficult than defending.

Thanks to this, I didn’t suffer much damage except for a slight tingling in my grip, but William dropped the mace, exhausted and covered in sweat.

If she had been a knight or a warrior, she would have told her that dropping her weapon meant death, but her occupation was a ‘bandit’, so… As long as there was no problem with survival, there was no problem with throwing down the weapon and running away.

Since she is taking advantage of two bandits who can use her to steal weapons anyway, it would be more helpful for her to prioritize her survival instinct like this, rather than shamelessly attacking her strong enemy and dying. .

“Good job.”

When I came back with William, breakfast was ready and everyone was getting ready to start their day.

It seemed that Hollio was busy with paperwork, and his secretary-wife stepped forward and began unpacking the luggage brought by people who appeared to be members of the upper class, while being protected by mercenaries.

And aren’t the people in the capital lining up following the mercenaries’ lead to buy food?

Instead, they were selling items they picked up, such as weapons or metal pieces, and exchanging them for points or food.

“Is it something you are looking for? Or we can buy it.”

As I was looking at the scene in a daze, Hollyo’s wife looked at me and asked me a question with a businesslike smile, and it was only then that I saw the weapons hanging from my waist.

‘Then I realized I had forgotten’

On the first route, I naturally used the store because I had Holyo from the beginning, but now the situation was so bad that I forgot about it.

Jinglang.

The more points, the better, and weapons… We had to carry them, not just carry them all, even if there were hundreds of them like in the game.

Her her her her her Inori’s her her her [Her her her her her Shadow Pouch] Her she contained dozens of her her weapons her her her, so she gave her signal and took out a bunch of her weapons her her her her.

I sent William to bring the two female bandits with their weapons, and Richard, who had finished his short workday, followed behind me with all the weapons except the two long swords he would use.

“Do you buy this?”

“In today’s harsh world, weapons are the most precious commodity.”

Spurr rrrr.

Sell ​​​​​​surplus weapons captured by mobilizing bandits.

Royalist soldiers had limitations in using such weapons, so they decided to sell all but two spears as spares and sell all but the swords for Richard and mine for spares.

“The sect’s weapon… This must be quite expensive.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. It is difficult to say that the weapons used by the operative faction are masterpieces of the highest level, but they can be considered masterpieces, and above all, if you can get them in an unbroken state, they are quite valuable.. .”

“How much is it in total?”

“For these items, I will give you 56,810 points.”

“…”

When I remembered how hard I worked to get 10,000 points in Part 1, I was able to understand the scale of Part 2.

In fact, the scale of seizing weapons from the battlefield and selling them was bound to be different from the current students attending the academy.

‘And the sword of a famous family worth 50,000 points is a novel but extremely expensive item.’

Even if you sell dozens of weapons, you are only getting one sword from a famous family.

Of course, in Part 2, prices change depending on the resource situation or current power situation, so it starts at 50,000 points, and if the situation is not as good as it is now, it may have gone up more than twice.

‘Tsk… Even if I only recovered the famous sword from the dormitory, how much is that?’

“I will sell everything.”

I sold everything except the few bags I needed and received the product list to purchase, but as expected, the most important potion was currently sold out.

Of course, you can see a box containing a potion among those luggage, but it is probably an item for use by the insiders of Alphyrio, and you can purchase it through Holio, but you will have to pay quite a bit for it.〈 Br〉

Then, I tried to get armor, but since bandits are not a proper profession, I couldn’t equip them with proper equipment.

I don’t know if you’re a thief, but since you’re a bandit and not an actual thief, you’re restricted from wearing equipment, and if you change your job to a thief, you lose your looting ability.〈 Br〉

I bought only a few basic accessories and didn’t have any particularly good weapons, so I passed them on since I could just loot them while fighting the Duke soldiers.

‘What’s left is armor’

First of all, bandits are excluded because they cannot wear proper armor, and Inori is also excluded because she shows off her abilities well when wearing a ‘ninja outfit’.

I could wear armor, but if I wear armor, my evasion rate and counterattack rate decrease, so… The last thing left is Richard.

“Hmm…”

Now, it seems like you can upgrade beyond the kingdom’s elite soldiers to the kingdom’s heavy soldiers by equipping them with armor, but it costs 20,000 points to wear them properly, so I’m a little worried.

‘But. You will earn points quickly anyway’

“Do you have any armor that Richard can wear?”

“There are pieces of armor provided for mercenaries, but most of Alphyrio’s products are for mercenaries or soldiers.”

Hollyo’s wife looked troubled, probably because she thought he wanted knight-level armor.

“That’s enough.”

In this way, Richard was upgraded from the kingdom’s elite soldier to the kingdom’s heavy general.

“I feel sorry for spending such a large amount of money because of me.”

“You just have to protect your allies that much reliably.”

As expected, I didn’t hear any messages about how much his likeability he had increased, perhaps because he wasn’t the main friend of Class F, but judging from his expression and atmosphere, I guess it could be said that his likeability was quite high.

This is the end of using the store, call someone at the top of Alphyrio in Hollio and send a letter to the [Shadow Family].

Of course, it was a letter that Inori wrote in his handwriting last night, and Rito, who is currently working hard for the family, will be angry as soon as he sees the letter, saying that the work was passed on to him or something , but what can you do?

Inori’s help is absolutely necessary and useful.

And after lunch, I talk about the future with Hollyo, who has just finished organizing the morning documents and came down tired.

“I will send mercenaries to protect [Shadow Family].”

“It’s going to cause trouble at Duke Davin’s house.”

“That’s what I’m sending you.”

From the [Shadow Family’s] Perspective, I thought it would be better to join forces with the remaining forces rather than the Davin Dukes, so I tolerated Hollio’s division of sides.

In fact, we do not openly oppose them and only treat them with minimal courtesy, but even in the case of the attempted kidnapping of Inori, they crossed the line.

“And please take good care of the Golem Factory. If we can attract them to our side, it will be a great help in the civil war against the Duke faction.”

“It looks like the location of the golem factory has changed.”

“It was relocated. Previously, it was a factory that received minerals and parts from near the capital and assembled them, but in order to avoid getting caught up in the civil war, the production facilities were relocated, and now the products are produced directly and in cooperation with the Dwarven mining villages formed along the northern mountain range. .”

The result is that you have to climb the mountain.

“Is Melissa healthy?”

“It must be healthy. I heard that a beautiful woman with platinum hair runs the golem factory and runs a business on both sides, so she definitely means that…”

So you haven’t met me in person?

“Even when our friends visit, they don’t meet us because they are worried about controversy. Still, from what I heard, it seems like they are making good money, so there is nothing to worry about.”

But why?

Why do I keep feeling anxious?

‘As if something was going to happen…’
