Did she already know what I would ask her for? Ch 157: Mana Storage

Ch 157: Mana Storage

The hypnosis perford on the Great Adventurer is much more complex than that of the others. In this case, the excuse for losing the magic objects is based on the preparations for the war between guilds. All the bla will fall on the mistakes made at the mont of dividing the supplies among the different adventurers, and it will be at that instant that the magic items will disappear as if by magic.

In other words, I will be cleared of charges due to insufficient evidence against .

"Well, it's ti to plunder the treasures of the Red Flag Guild."

The remaining ti of the Scroll of Silence is about 10 minutes, so to avoid problems, I activated a new scroll to reset the ti. With this, again, I have an hour of absolute silence all around .

Constantly looking at the map, I dodge all the blue dots belonging to the Golden Lion guild and then manage to get out of their camp area.

"The distance between the camps of both guilds is based on tens of kiloters. A normal spy would have to advance very carefully to avoid the patrolling guards, but that won't be the case for because... the map shows the exact location of each one of them!"

'Activate [Agility] profile.'

Without hesitation, I started running in the direction of the enemy guild. Occasionally, I encountered a guard, but I easily managed to elude him without slowing down.

A few minutes later, I managed to arrive in front of the Red Flag Guild's camp.

"Now I must be more careful than ever because, as I belong to the enemy side, they won't hesitate to attack as soon as they see . So, I will use the [Perception Inhibitor] at its full strength to prevent them from recognizing ."

Unlike Fabio's guild, this guild is completely barricaded with a fence that reaches 3 ters in height.

'How could they make such preparations in such a short ti?'

If it weren't for Fabio's hired staff, the Golden Lion guild would be no match for the Red Flag guild.

"Ah~ I am so sleepy. I want the shift change to have happened already."

"Still, I don't understand why we have to be so cautious… After all, the two guild masters have a friendly relationship. It's unlikely that sothing will happen."

There are two guards at the entrance. And, according to the map behind them, there are two more in a tent. Also, on the rest of the fence, there are guards constantly walking around and looking for intruders.

'In this specific case, the vicinity of the entrance seems to be the most unprotected place. After all, no one would dare break in through the gate directly, would they? Hmm…. A similar thought must have been in the mind of the one who devised this guard. Fuuh... Well, here I go.'

"Do you believe that it is a genuine friendship?"

"It must be. One of my contacts is quite close to the guild master, and he said that he was quite surprised by Fabio's attitude."

"Haa, then the matter of the threats really-... Hey! Who's there?!"

Thanks to the scroll, I didn't emit any kind of noise when I jumped over the fence, but as I said before... this doesn't make invisible.

Quickly, the two tent guards ca out as backup.

"What's going on? Did you see an intruder??!!!"

"I'm sure I saw a shadow over there."

"Understood. You two, wait here! We'll go investigate. In the anti, be on the lookout for any changes."

"Yes, Captain!"

'Damn it! They're heading exactly towards my location!'

I'm currently hiding in a bush near a tent. The sa one that the captain just ca out of with his companion.

"Do you see anything?"

"Not yet, captain."

'Haa. Did I get over-confident...? Wait!'

"Nothing here, captain."

"Haa, sa here... Hey! Are you sure you saw sothing? Because there's nothing here!"

"Captain, I can swear I saw sothing near the fence."

"But as you can see, there's nothing. Haa, false alarm. Go back to your posts."

"Yes, captain!"

After their conversation, the two guards returned to the entrance, while the other two went back to the tent.

'This arrogant has managed to survive one more day!'

When I was in the bush, suddenly inspiration ca to , and then I thought...

'What happens to the cave when the bear goes out to forage for food? It will temporarily be a safe place to take cover from the rain!'

While they were looking for behind the tent, I was already inside it! All the guards had so much attention on that place that they didn't notice when I walked through their blind spot.

'Well, it's ti to start the treasure hunt.'

Without anyone seeing , I approach where the camping tents of the entire guild are located, carefully open them, and see what Class the person inside possesses. There will be imdiately discarded all those who do not possess Adventurer or Great Adventurer in their status; only they grant an inventory after all.

Of course, not all tents are chosen because, according to the map, there are many blue dots that are still moving, which ans that they are awake.

And so, after hypnotizing four adventurers, my treasure radar was activated.

"What items do you keep in your inventory?"

"Boxes"

"Boxes? Be more specific."

"I can't. I was forbidden to see inside them."

'He was forbidden to see inside them? There must be sothing valuable enough in them for such confidentiality!'

"I understand. Remove one of them from your inventory."

"As you command."

With much anticipation, I waited for the Great Adventurer to recite the spell, and after he did so, a box appeared in front of , but...

"It has a lock on it…"

"Yes." He nodded.

"Hm... What will happen if you return these boxes without the padlock?"

"I will be exiled from the guild, and all my friends will disown ."

Emir: "..."

'Ugh! I shouldn't have asked!'

"I know it's not much, but here you go... 10 gold coins for your trouble."

"Thank you, sir."

'Hmm… I'm running low on gold coins. The runes I got from the last chain I made will have to be sold to replenish my money. Activate [Strength] profile.'

With my sword in hand, I make a horizontal slash toward the lock. Thanks to [Edge] and my current colossal strength, the padlock didn't put up any resistance and fell directly to the ground.

"Let's see what treasures are inside..."

With great anticipation, I open the box and...

"It's full of magical objects!"

In different shapes and colors, the magic objects fill the box to the brim. As I put my hand in, I felt like a millionaire. I just had to throw the magic objects up in the air, and everything would have been perfect.

But as I looked to the side, the guilt stabbed with its pangs.

'This guy next to will fall into disgrace if I take them all. Ugh... Fine! I'll apply the rule of 3 again!'

And so began the investigation through the description granted by the user interface. The potential candidates were left by my side, and the others returned to the adventurer's inventory, of course, with their locks now broken.

Soti later, the last box was put away.

"Haa... It was hard to choose, but these are the finalists..."

[Pseudo Dinsion]

[dium Category Pseudo Dinsion. Both the bearer and those in his team will be invisible to monsters belonging to the No Man's Zones. The number of allowed mbers increases if they belong to the sa guild as the bearer. Effect valid for monsters under level 50.]

The one given to by Fabio is in the lower category, while this one belongs to the dium category. If I had to differentiate them, I would say that one targets small teams while the other focuses on guilds.

I can't deny that the idea of creating a guild full of won cos to mind, but the sad reality is that I have nothing to offer compared to the others. I could enhance their statuses with my User Interface, but nothing assures that the information won't get out.

I'm afraid that, if that happens, I'll beco a human experint just like that person who was born with the ability to create slaves.

'But... I can't help but want to take it with anyway! Just in case!'

[Mana Storage]

[Small compartnt that allows for mana storage. It only admits 40% of the wearer's total mana, and a constant connection must be maintained with it; otherwise, the mana will disappear]

"This magic item didn't even need to go through the competition. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to take it with !"

This Mana Storage is a very special item as it allows to store 40% of the wearer's mana pool, which ans that the wearer will have 140% mana. In my case, as long as I possess this item in my hands, I will be able to cast 40% more magic arrows without needing to take an MP potion!

Also, the re fact that this item is percentage-based ans that it will not fall behind in ti. It will keep up with the wearer's mana, and the amount of mana will increase accordingly!
