Chapter 794 Skill Book Fusion
"Aside from that, I want to commission you and Ambil for some equipment. Are you confident you could make equipment for a few hundred of my men?" He asked. "I will pay you very well for this. We especially require Armor, Swords, and Spears."
"I see, it is possible." I nodded. "These last days I\'ve made hundreds of pieces of equipment, leave it to me, I\'ve figured out a good way to mass produce them while keeping their quality intact."
The King seemed pleased with my answer. "Excellent. Camilla will handle you the contract and half of the payment in advance. Ambil too, are you sure you can do this?"
"I will, leave this to me, your majesty. We need to protect our Kingdom. If I can better arm up our soldiers, that\'ll be for the better!" Ambil was more than willing.
"Moving on, aside from those plans, we\'ve employed spies that my wife has nurtured." Said the King. "She calls them her Shadows, and they\'ll be inspecting every nook and cranny for anything suspicious."
"I\'ve already told my strongest ones to surround the magician tower and keep an eye on it and its activities." Camilla smiled.
I suppose those auras I sensed were her "shadows", huh? She\'s not keeping them a secret. Maybe she really trusted us and her husband to that point.
"And we\'ll be looking for clues with detectives we\'ve contracted from nearby Kingdoms." Camilla said. "They might join you from time to time…"
Detectives exist in this world?! Well, now that\'s a surprise.
"However, Planta, for our next step, we want to suppress as many of these hidden dungeons as we can. I am sure there must be more out there… Can you use your Spirits to ask them to look for the origin of this book?" Asked the King.
"…Very well." I nodded.
I did the same ritual-like spell as before, and the spirits answered almost instantly. This time, they showed four paths. One of them led to the Tower of the Magician Guild once more.
And then, the other three led to different sections of the city. One was near the center of it, in the middle of the noble district.
The second was in the outer layer, beneath the walls. And the third path led to the outside, towards a nearby dungeon the kingdom has made into a mine to get resources from.
"There\'s one in the noble district!" The King was shocked. "And then another below the walls and… the mines?! Now this is surprising! I did not expect it to go this far… Those bastards! They\'ve infiltrated well. Way too well, I would say."
"There\'s a few things we need to do before we start investigating." I explained. "This investigation also includes our registration in the magician guild and infiltrating their ranks one way or another…"
The other that I must do soon is to complete the quest of Hephaestus Divine Smithy and finally gain access to it. If I can get there, I think that mass producing what the King wants will be swift and easy.
Even more if I can get it before Camilla can help us get the camouflaging equipment that could even hide our status…
For now, we were mostly done with preparations, and for what we needed to talk about. The threat that Merlin was could be tremendous, but we had no idea if he was truly a member of the cult.
So until we could find out about that by infiltrating, we better move on to something we can do right now.
After talking and planning some more, we decided to move back to Ambil\'s smithy. I had thought about placing a Divine Ward here, but because they could only last at most 24 Hours, having to come here every day to set it up again would be a pain… And Camilla said I shouldn\'t worry about it.
"Don\'t worry about these things." She smiled. "We\'ll be fine. For now, simply go back to the smithy if you\'re still so busy, we\'ll contact you once our side of the plan is ready."
"Okay then." I nodded, thanking her. "Thanks a lot for everything. See you, Gustav!"
"See ya, auntie Planta!" Gustav adorably waved his little hand at us as we left through the carriage that brought us here.
While my friends were talking about the many things we had to do now, which kept pilling up one after another the moment we got in this problematic city that seems to be a breeding ground for issues and problems, I checked my Inventory.
There were a lot of Skill Books I had saved, which I wanted to check and see if I could use them to improve my abilities… Getting a new Swordsmanship or Paladin Skill would not be that good, considering my Heroic Divine Swordsmanship Arts is a much superior version of those two.
But there were another two Skill Books that had my full interest. The [Skill Book: Healing Magic (B Grade)] and the [Skill Book: Beginner Magic (B Grade)]!
Both could help me expand my Magic Abilities even further, so I quickly took them both out and tried to use them, seeing if I could get some new Spells in Arcadia compared to back on Earth.
However, a different window popped up.
Ding!
[It is possible to use both [Skill Book: Healing Magic (B Grade)] x1 and [Skill Book: Beginner Magic (B Grade)] x1 at the same time to Evolve the [Green Magic: Lv10] Skill!]
I could evolve the Green Magic Skill, which has been locked at Level 10 for a while now, using two Skill Books at once, even without having a specific Skill Book for it!
I didn\'t even know this was a thing at all!
Better take the opportunity while it\'s still there.
Ding!
[The two [Skill Book: Healing Magic (B Grade)] x1 [Skill Book: Beginner Magic (B Grade)] x1 Skill Books have been absorbed!]
FLAAASH!
The Skill Books turned into particles of light, fusing into my body.
