Chapter 58

Blood Stamp (1)

The reason why half-elves entered the tertiary city in the first place was simple. This is because he has all his abilities and skills, so he has the conditions to deal with level 100 monsters most easily.

For that reason, even in previous lives, there were rumors that the race of half elves itself was too fraudulent for a while when the tertiary city entrants started appearing. Because he was an all-weather man with excellent abilities and strong skill power.

‘That sounds funny.’

But don’t know that. All races have their own characteristics and strengths.

Gnomes were excellent at dexterity and intelligence, making them suitable for wizards, while dwarves had outstanding strength and stamina, so they were innately equipped as warriors. Humans… … .

‘I say it’s possible, but… … .’

It was a bit fuzzy. Compared to other races, there were no significant advantages except for the fact that there were fewer class restrictions and relatively many cities.

Of course, there will come a day when I will use it a lot, but… … .

‘That’s too far away. Hmm, if I had to ask, there must be a training center.’

Reinforcing abilities in a way other than free stats through training centers and advanced training centers. Maybe that’s one of the possibilities of humans. In the case of other races, the ability to raise stats in a similar way is very limited.

But it doesn’t matter anyway. The one who is leading the way right now is none other than Rokhan, himself.

“No, don’t. The price will be a little higher… … .”

“Twitch! The little ones only listen to the pretense. I can’t quite turn it off.”

They didn’t even know that Lokan was observing, and they made a deal with the merchant NPC and were kicked out. Although they are not despised as much as humans, they are nothing more than children who do not know the world.

The merchants of Crossroads were not warm or kind enough to sell and teach such fearless young chicks.

If the secondary city was a warm, provincial city, this could be considered a cold urban area.

“Why the hell are you doing this? Did someone do something wrong?

“As soon as we got to the Crossroads, you know well that we came here without leaking anywhere else. Who do you want to touch?”

“Hey, fuck you. Then why are you doing this?”

“Calm down. Maybe this store is weird. Let’s go somewhere else.”

“Damn, you know how many times this is”

“know. So, let’s go somewhere else.”

Since I don’t know the existence of the quest for recognition, is there anything else I can get other than swearing? Moreover, they did not even qualify for the recognition quest yet, so if they wandered around the city by mistake, they could be dragged into the garrison or kicked out of the city.

After that, I’ll have to work on reputation by catching low-level monsters that roam around.

‘Oh, I see… … .’Seeing them like that, Lokan, who was biting his tongue, suddenly remembered the fact that he had forgotten.

‘I’m also a garrison’

In the past, he skipped the garrison quest and forgot about it, but he was clearly a member of the Crossroad garrison. Doesn’t that mean that they can exercise the same powers?

Recalling that, Lokan smiled meaningfully.

“Identity camouflage.”

Changing even his own identity, he slowly began to follow them. And he appeared before them once more, just in time for them to be driven out of the store without income.

“Who is making a fuss!”

Although the name and appearance were changed with the camouflage of the identity, it did not erase the identity of the garrison.

Naturally, the mark of the Crossroad Guards appeared on their shoulders, and the faces of the half-elves who recognized it turned white. He had been scorned several times, and he had heard stories about the garrison.

But when the garrison is blinding in front of them, how can he not be afraid?

As he was waiting for a reaction, holding his breath in case he might be kicked out of the city, Rokhan’s smoke tone lines tightened them.



“Hiccup!”

“Oh, no. We intend to… … .”

“noisy! If you want to keep making a fuss, get out of town right now!”

[Are you sure you want to drive the target out of the city with the authority of the Crossroad Guard?]

After letting go of the threat, a plausible notification window appeared. With the power of the garrison, you can really drive them out.

Of course, this is a limited ability that can only be used until the recognition quest is performed, and even if you kick it out, you won’t be able to directly touch it until it causes problems again after reputation work.

‘Not like that.’

But Lokan had no intention of kicking them out in the first place.

“no! I will fix it!”

“I will keep my mouth shut!”

At the sight of Rokhan’s wide-eyed eyes, they were frightened at once and bowed their heads. They seem to think that they should avoid being kicked out of the city somehow.

‘I can do this.’

Seeing that terrified figure, Lokan added one more word as if he was sympathetic.

“Twice! It smells like baby puppies. If you want to be treated here even a little, do your best! Yeah, a gyropole would be perfect for your level. I heard that the shop in the center of the downtown area has a shortage of hands, so they also accept items from kids like you, so go there. Well, maybe five hundred or so.”

“Aeg five or five hundred.”

“You can’t even do that, after all, kids… … .”

“no. I have to, I do.”

They fell in love with Lokan, who performed method acting. Then he quickly lowered his body and disappeared, fearing that he might say something else.

I was going to go to the downtown store that Lokan was talking about, or to catch the gyropoles wandering around the city.

‘Yeah, work hard instead of me! Cuckoo.’

Looking at the backs of those guys, Lokan gave an evil smile.

Gyropole was a monster with the characteristics of ‘physical resistance’ that looked similar to an armadillo. For that reason, if you don’t have a skill with magical attack power, you have to deal with them with difficulty only with greatly reduced physical damage.

The problem is that there will be no magic-type users coming to the tertiary city for a while.

The 3rd job advancement quest is so advantageous to the melee series, so in order for the magic series or ranged attack series to succeed in changing jobs, more research on monsters and strategies had to be secured.

Of course, there are monsters that can break through the limits of their compatibility, but the number is really small.

‘Do you really need to catch about five hundred to be able to do it?’

In this situation, the reason Lokan spilled the name of Gyropol like a quest was simple. That’s because the time when they start working on the Crossroads is slowed down.

This is because it will take a long time to complete the reputation work by catching a gyropole that is not a threat rather than a preemptive monster because it is difficult to catch.

In addition, the experience was given the least among the nearby monsters, so it was not a condition to rush up the level.

‘Half that alone would be quite salty.’

But the biggest reason was money. The ‘Gyropole’s Leather’ dropped by the gyropole is money.

If you make armor with the leather of the gnome, the physical resistance option is attached with a high probability, so you could sell it at a store for a whopping 50 silver per piece.

On the other hand, Lokan’s ‘vending machine’ bought it for 5 silver. It was 10 times the profit, but I found out something. Users may not even know who the owner of the store is, or whether it is a user or an NPC.

Moreover, there would be no shops to buy or sell things to them, so unless you plan to make them yourself, you would have no choice but to use them. To raise money to purchase even consumables such as potions.

‘For the time being, the warehouse and integrated auction house will not be available, so it is not easy to purchase and use it in bulk in other cities.’

If you can use either one, you can use several tricks, but even that is impossible right now.

I don’t know if my inventory is full of consumables, but I can’t do that every time.

‘This is fine’

Then a good idea came to mind. They will not easily divulge the hard-earned information. But then, shouldn’t you be able to solve it yourself?

And if everyone makes money and catches monsters with low experience and reputation like a quest

‘I can make money and widen the gap.’Having made the decision, Lokan immediately went to the general store to buy pens and paper. And he started writing ‘A Guide for Visitors’.

It didn’t even have to be long. No, he had to entrust the transcription, so it was difficult if it was rather long.

“It’s done.”

Here’s what Lokan wrote about the fake visitor guide.

1. If you catch some types of monsters designated by Lokan, ‘rumours’ will circulate in the city.

2. If you continue to hunt after that, your reputation will rise and the city dwellers will start giving you quests.

3. If you receive and carry out the quest, you can receive their recognition and become a member of the city.

4. This process is essential in order to use the city’s major buildings properly.

In retrospect, they weren’t wrong.

However, the only difference is that the monsters named by Lokan are the ones who make money and do not give bad reputation and experience, and that they cannot receive ‘acknowledgment’ through ordinary quests.

Of course, the heads of each race are also members of the Crossroads, so that’s not entirely wrong either.

After completing it, Rokhan immediately entrusted the transcription quest.

There were places where the garrison made requests while making flyers such as request papers and wanted bounties, so it didn’t take long to mass-produce them.

“Sales Setup.”

Lokan registered several bundles of ‘guides for visitors’ as sales items for the vending machine. Once you hire a vendor, you can sell stones that are rolling on the side of the road at the will of the employee.

And he went out of the store with some flyers that he had printed together.

“It would take a long time to go around the whole city.”

It was a kind of advertisement. It’s a simple creation of a shop promotion flyer for hanging on a village bulletin board and blank wall.

Aside from everything, users would have no choice but to run away with just the two phrases, ‘Trade items with visitors’ and ‘Sell guides for visitors’.

If you attach it randomly, you could be forcibly removed or called to the garrison, but Lokan had paid the price fairly.

10 gold a month is by no means a small amount, but it doesn’t matter. He could get a lot more than that.

Moreover, once the rumors spread, there was no need for a separate publicity for users who came later.

‘It should be convenient to use the bulletin board, but… … .’

In that case, it could be ‘doubtful’. However, if you promote in the form of a poster in the game like this, who can doubt that it is the user’s store?

And thanks to that little misunderstanding, Rokhan would be much more comfortable moving forward.

So Lokan ran through the sweat on his feet until nightfall, and put up promotional flyers all over the Crossroads.

Finally, when night came, he led his weary body to Baron Truell’s villa.
