◈ 195. [Free Exploration] Color
And so, Quylan and his bandit group were transferred under my command.
Since he is a bandit, there will be some friction with the existing soldiers, but time will help him reconcile.
In the carriage returning to the mansion, I looked at Quylan’s stat window. Let’s see.
[Quilan (SR)]
– Level: 40
– Title: Bandit King
– Occupation: Advanced fighter
– Strength 30 Agility 40 Intelligence 15 Stamina 5 Magical Power 20
All other stats are on the good side. Fitness is also an issue.
‘I’m level 40, but my physical stat is 5… … ?’
No, the lowest stat in this game would be 5. I never thought it would be fixed at 5.
It’s the first time I’ve recruited him as an ally, so I’m a bit perplexed at seeing the detailed stats for the first time.
‘It’s really bad. you’re lower than me That’s why it stretches when you brush it.’
It is lower than most wizards. If only this part could be solved, it would be good to use as a first team.
[Possess Skills]
> Passive: Shedding Maple Leaves
> Skill 1: Breaking Maple Leaves
> Skill 2: Indulging Maple Leaves
> Ultimate Skill: ??? (Opened after the 3rd job change)
It’s a skill, just the way I saw it the other day.
Passive is parry counterattack skill 1 ignores armor and attack skill 2 is its own speed and damage buff.
And the characteristics… … .
– Equip Attribute (3/3)
> Strong Cloud
> Like a Willow!
> Glass body (undispellable)
“Huh?”
Examining the characteristics, I let out a groan. This is fun.
[Kangwoon]
– You have very good luck. There are never catastrophic failures in probability rolls.
The fighter class has low basic damage but high critical rate. Even if you don’t calibrate separately, the critical hit explodes.
The problem is the critical multiplier.
Other occupations have a default crit multiplier of 2.0. In other words, it means that the damage amplification is fixed at 2x when a critical occurs.
However, the martial artist ranges from 0.9 to 4.0.
What this means is that if you get a good critical hit, the damage is up to 4 times, but if you are unlucky, it is rather 0.9 times. This means that it may be lower than the default damage.
It’s not that fighters lack stability for nothing.
The job itself is a very close range dealer, so it’s dangerous, but the damage also randomly jumps you.
However, if this trait [Gangwoon] is present.
‘It eliminates catastrophic failure. The damage is minimally corrected.’
Not only that, but as you progress through the game, you will come across many luck-related interactions.
Elements that you have to believe in the dice god and play them continue to appear.
Quylan believes in [strong luck] and throws it at something like this. would be useful
[Like a willow tree!]
– I got enlightenment during training. Evasion chance is increased by 10%.
This is an easy and nice trait. In fact, it is an essential attribute that should never be unequipped as a Quylan that stretches after one hit.
and last.
[Glass body]
– I was seriously injured as a child and left aftereffects. The stamina stat is fixed at the lowest value (5).
Undispellable negative trait. glass body.
‘Because of this, the stamina stat has become that shape… … .’
What happened in my childhood to make it like this? It would be great if I could just get rid of this, but it’s a pity.
Other than that, all the bandits under Quilan’s party were all level 30 R. It is a level that can be immediately put into battle.
‘This isn’t bad enough.’
Now that the Shadow Troops have left the Crossroads with other missions, this hero party will be useful.
I arrived at the mansion and got off the carriage. grumbled Lucas, who had come down from the driver’s seat after him.
“To think that now even bandits are under your command… Are you really okay, lord?”
“Are you dissatisfied, Lucas?”
“Of course I am dissatisfied.”
“Because you kidnapped me?”
“That’s too big… … .”
Lucas let out a long sigh.
“The shadow unit was also a prisoner, but anyway, they were imperial soldiers from the Aegis task force. So it was fine. On the other hand, they are bandits who raided the people of the empire.”
“… .”
“The root… … They were the ones who plundered others. How can you trust me?”
I laughed softly.
“Lucas. You know the most famous pirate group in the southern seas of the continent, right?”
“Are you talking about the Rompeller Pirates? Of course you know.”
“The pirates were originally a navy belonging to the Rompeller Kingdom in the southern part of the continent. It’s a case where the country collapsed and turned to the pirates.”
Lucas was taken aback. I spoke.
“Isn’t it a symbol of the honor and chivalry of the Glory Knights since the founding of the Everblack Empire?”
“yes. Isn’t it the core and pride of the 1st Corps of the Imperial Army? When I was young, I also wanted to be in the Glory Knights.”
“Did you know that the knights were originally bandits?”
“yes?”
“When the first emperor founded the empire, he brought the thieves who had a grudge against the neighboring kingdom to one side. The thieves who made their mark in the war continued to devote themselves to the Empire… … Now they are revered as the most noble order of knights.”
When an army loses its affiliation, it becomes a gang of bandits,
and when a gang of bandits joins a powerful person and establishes a major, it becomes a knighthood as it is. Such is the world in which people live.
“It doesn’t matter what you did before. It’s important how you live your life in the future when given the chance.”
I smiled at Lucas.
“Lucas. I was a fucking asshole just a few months ago. But you didn’t give up on me and believed in me, right? Thanks to that, I am where I am today.”
“ah… .”
“Everyone needs a chance. The more people who are cornered, the more we have to give them one last chance.”
I shrugged.
“I gave them that chance. That’s it. We’ll have to see if we use it properly.”
“If they can’t abandon their habits as bandits… … .”
“Then I will expel you from the front lines here. I swear by my name.”
I will accept anyone who has the necessary talent to attack.
But that doesn’t mean I act like a hukou.
No matter how strong the fighting power is, if it adversely affects the front line, anyone will be knocked out at once. This is the basics of being a commander.
“So don’t worry too much.”
I patted Lucas on the back and strode into the mansion.
Lucas, who had been standing there stunned, hurriedly followed me.
***
the next day. I summoned the hero characters to the mansion early in the morning.
First of all, he entrusted Reina with the organization of the bandits’ army.
Reina would return to the ecliptic after three defensive battles, so until then, I was planning on taking care of everything I could and making good use of it.
‘If it’s Raina, the commander of the Imperial Army’s magic corps, she’ll be able to slaughter the bandits.’
I begged you not to be too harsh. I ask you to roll it just enough to raise your discipline.
“I understand, Your Highness. Toys to play with are always welcome.”
Rayna grinned as she said something scary. Let’s do that slowly. Gentle. Don’t let the kids run away.
Then Marherita and Lily were also called.
Marherita was instructed to keep an eye out for new patients entering the temple.
It was the story of Kureha, Quylan’s older brother. It was necessary to take good care of Kureha at the present time, when Quylan’s loyalty was still low.
Lily received the current status of production combinations that had progressed while I was gone.
Things like artifact repair or the situation of equipment ordered from a general smithy. I’m going to visit all of them anyway, but it’s better to find out in advance.
After that, the main party members were summoned. I nodded as I quickly looked around at the four people gathered in the living room.
“In the afternoon, I will go on a free exploration to the Lake Kingdom dungeon.”
In fact, this may be more important than anything else.
“It hasn’t been too long. I need to check the condition of the dungeon.”
Even when I came back from Crossroads, it seems like I was talking about getting rid of travel poisoning, but when I come back, there are so many things I can’t help but touch. I have to move fast.
The party members were worried that I was overdoing it, but when I said, ‘Don’t talk nonsense, get ready!’, they followed without a word.
Everyone seems to have realized that once I caught fire, there would be no point in drying it.
Watching the party members pack their equipment, I waved to Ader, who was standing in the corner.
“Aide Erikom.”
“Lord Neeb!”
“There are a few things you have to do. First, train the refugees to use them as laborers… .”
After giving these and other instructions, I added one last thing.
“… And the most important thing.”
I shuddered at the interior of the drawing room decorated in a flower garden style with frills, lace and various flowers.
“Restore the interior of this house.”
“… Until when?”
“Until I go to the dungeon today.”
“Miss Evangeline must be sad… .”
That’s the sea I want!
***
[Now Loading… Teleporting.]
[Tip – Don’t neglect dungeon raids! A dungeon is an essential place for leveling up heroes, farming items, and progressing the story.]
***
So it’s been a while.
Flash-!
entered the dungeon.
After crossing the teleport gate, it was a familiar safe base camp. Breathing in the damp air unique to a dungeon, I looked around.
“Did nothing happen here while I was gone?”
“yes. While the lord was away, we only attacked areas that had been cleared beforehand, but the dungeon itself did not change significantly.”
There is no noticeable change in the base camp either. I was expecting a lot of NPCs to be added while I was gone.
“hey! Inum bastard-!”
At that time, a dwarf from the corner of the base camp came running towards me with a waving beard. The magic blacksmith was Kelly Bay.
“Inum child! I haven’t even peeped my nose for over a month since I left the equipment request! Where have you been!”
“It’s been a while, father-in-law.”
Come to think of it, I ordered the production of equipment with the magic core of the vampire lord Selendion, but went to the ecliptic without being able to find it.
It was nice to see the angry Kelly Bay. I smiled and waved my hand, then suddenly startled.
“… .”
“huh? What are you flirting with like that?”
wait for a sec.
There are four major heterogeneous races on the continent: Elves, Dwarves, Mermaids, and Wear Beasts. And each of them has a characteristic hair color.
Elf fairies have green hair.
Mermaid mermaids have blue hair.
Wearbeast beasts have red hair.
But the dwarf dwarves… … .
“… .”
I muttered as I looked down at Kelly Bay’s shiny round head.
“… bald head?”
“It’s been a long time since I saw you, how rude are you talking about, you crazy-!”
Kelly Bay lashed out and swung her hammer at me.
Whoa?! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to make fun of you! Ash This kid is rich, but I’m worried about hair loss in the other world, so I’m taking medicine! I understand a little bit of your feelings, Kelly Bay!
While barely avoiding Kelly Bay’s swinging hammer, I suddenly saw a person sitting in the corner of the base camp.
No color, no, no color, as if all the colors had fallen out, with white bleached hair hanging down… … A woman in a ragged robe.
“uh?”
Recognizing the opponent, I was surprised and made a sound. The woman facing me smiled faintly.
“Long time no see, Ash.”
The dungeon merchant NPC who guided us into the Lake Kingdom in the first place.
It was nameless.
