After that, I was finally able to go home. Since my condition has fully recovered, I no longer need to go to aunt Urdu's house. In other words, I don't need to eat that monstrous herb a second time. Arriving home, I immediately bought some snacks and fruits with a sharp taste to remove the remains of the ingredients in my mouth. So I spend time at home snacking. For some reason I suddenly felt like lazing around for a moment.
Ah, it's nice to be a kid. With 15 years of metal, there's no reason for me to rush into adulthood. Let's enjoy these happy times without thinking about anything else. Although I also want to be known as a prodigy who carved his name in the history book, but I do not want to regret not enjoying the time.
Hm, maybe I should replicate the skill of an undead who doesn't need to sleep. So I can enjoy 2 times more days!
"Now where can I find the undead?"
The Shop system immediately opened in a dark blue screen, I typed the word "undead finder" in the search screen. Then the list of items filled my view. The amount is very much, but the price tends to be cheap, so I think it as a scam. Let's see; let's see;
<< Shop;
cat Eyes: 1 point
- Detect Undead (potions): 3 points
ghostbusters Visor: 5 points
the Bloody Monk bead: 10 points
the Bell of Cursed One: 10 points
- (other)
>>
Hm? system reversed? Usually the system will display the most expensive items right? Let it be, let's see...
Cat Eyes, eyes taken from a cat then reinforced with a spell, eww. Able to see invisible creatures within a certain radius. Interesting, but not for now.
Potion of Detect Undead, after drinking this potion, one would be able to sense the existence of low-level undead around within a certain range.
Ghostbusters Visor, glasses for seeing fire and lightning-type ghosts.
No. no. no no no! no~ no. no...
World Map, a magical map featuring real-time landscapes of the world.
Book of Truth, the book that will answer all your questions. Be warned, There are some things that make it easier to 'infected' the more you know.... Whatisthis? Could this be a reference to the Realm of Eater or Outervoid? maybe even the Depth of Abyss. I don't know, but I want to buy it!
Alright now, I should collect 1 million points, no, but 2 million fewer!
Honestly, I'm not 1 million points is a lot or a little. Let's say the average level of monsters in the Astera forest is only 10, it means I have to kill at least 1,000 individuals to earn 1 million points. Is that a lot, or not? I'm not so sure either.
Looks like I have to go to the forest later in the afternoon, I'd better get some sleep first.
Deep in the forest, a grandfather who had entered the age of twilight was guiding a group of 9 individuals. Consisting of tankers, 2 warriors, rangers, Priests, 2 thieves, barbarians, and wizards. Each of them wore equipment that looked expensive and shiny. And each of their weapons is strengthened with magic spells. If one were to say they were a group of heroes who wanted to defeat the evil king, then people would not doubt it. Just look at one of the warriors who used a green-patterned spear, at first glance he looked like a walking steel wall. A demi-god would hit him hard and the man could still give praise. Only, their age makes them look a group of teenagers who are about to go to an anime festival event.
"Is the place still far away?" Asked the dashing youngster who was wearing a red-colored iron armor that captivated the eyes
"Hey, how many times have you asked the same question, Arthur?" Grunts a witch in red clothes and dark blue robes. He was carrying a weapon that looked like a combination of a sword and a stick.
"Somehow, I just feel a little uneasy. Something like tickling the bottom of my skin." Said the young man named Arthur.
"Heh, your tumben said like that, is that a warning of your skill?" Said another member wearing leather gear with a large bow on his back.
"How about you Thalia, see something through your [Clairvoyance]?" Asked a woman in all-black clothes in a red hooded robe.
"Actually I saw a fiery red-eyed black shadow in the dark cave." replied the red-robed Priest wearing the symbol of the goddess of life.
"Eh, isn't that dangerous? How could a forest like this have such a monster? No, how did you guys last this long?" ask an archer named Hiiro. Seemed not surprised by the vague depiction.
"Haha, we're just lucky. They haven't attacked us in total." Steve said it in a relaxed tone, looking quite confident. Then said in a serious tone that was appropriate to his age, "But even if they attack us with full force, there will still be one of us who will survive. No, he'll be safe."
Everyone was silent to that answer. On the one hand Steve looks very far-fetched. The adventurers had already seen the village with their own eyes. Although the guards had enough strength for the village where they were able to fight monsters of level 25-30, but no more than that. While the rest of the population is no different from the rest of the population, the tallest may only be able to compete with wild wolves, slightly below black bears. On the other hand, the grandfather's face was too serious to just brag, at least there were no such signs. Could they have magical items that could save the lives of the inhabitants? that was how everyone thought, but immediately rejected the idea.
"Is there someone much stronger than you Steve's grandfather?" asked Arthur innocently.
He asked!, everyone exclaimed inwardly.
"Right, after seeing the events of last year, I'm sure the boy might be even stronger than you are right now." Steve looked far ahead, as if he were looking at something that only he could see." But maybe it was just a coincidence." Then the whole seriousness just collapsed.
Sakali everyone fell silent, for different reasons. Then Thalia asked. "Maybe he has a special talent or power that can't be controlled yet, so his strength is asleep again? Something that only activates after certain conditions are met?"
"Hey, if those pastors hear you right now, that kid's gonna get in big trouble." The handsome young man carrying the spear said in a cold tone.
"Ah, sorry I was a little overboard." Thalia's expression didn't change much, it was just that her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Hey, hey, stop making this heavy atmosphere, I'm not in the mood to talk about such a high-level matter. You understand Percival?"
"Ah sorry, I was a little overdone earlier. But, I'm curious about this kid, can I meet him grandpa?"
"Hm it doesn't matter if he's awake." Steve said a little as usual. "Ah, we've arrived.
Steve climbed onto the rather high rocks followed by a few people. When looking down, they could see a cave with a little on the open in front of it. The slope itself is overgrown with high-ranging pohongs making it easier for them to keep an eye on the area ahead there. It didn't take long until a somewhat different pair of Goblins came out from inside the cave.
"Goblins that are close to reaching danger level 30. It's true, there are too many Goblins here." Arthur turned around and said with a serious face. "I know you've prepared yourself, but do it one more time for the last check. 5 minutes later we'll just go straight inside."
"Ready!"
