So the easiest way to solve this problem is to neither completely help nor completely offend either side. This "conciliatory" asure is the superficial investigation that the town governnt is currently carrying out.
Even if soone ca to accuse them, they could only wash their hands of it and say that they had tried their best, it was just that the culprit had hidden too well so they couldn't do anything more. There was basically no way to find fault.
And from this decision, Kain could also further deduce the relative level of power that the noble family behind Horon and Horan had.
Quite strong, that was an accurate statent, but not strong enough to make the town governnt turn against a relatively powerful stranger Magus. Therefore, even if the noble family sent soone, Kain could still handle it.
Mid-class Magus at most.
If he had ti, Kain wouldn't mind organizing a new hunt, but his ti was limited, so as soon as he determined the situation, Kain returned to the Dungeon.
His only task now was to fill up the "1000 skill points" box as quickly as possible, preferably before entering the Misty Dungeon.
That's where the real danger is.
However, even though he can't participate in this ga for the ti being, organizing so things isn't impossible.
Like... a trap.
On the twenty-fourth day, Kain returned to the first floor of the Dungeon and began to wipe out the monsters there. Without using any weapons, he simply used [Thunder Magic] and [Fire Magic] to slaughter the monsters. He didn't even bother to hide his movents, and even displayed his signature magic, causing the rumor that Magus had wiped out the gang of the two villains Horon and Horan who were currently in the first floor of the Dungeon to spread throughout the town.
At first, most of the crowd was still scared, however, after a short while, the situation changed.
The Adventurers were still frustrated by the appearance of a new tyrannical force that not only swallowed all the monsters but also did not let them gnaw on their bones. Regardless of whether the monsters were big or small, they were all wiped out.
The most important thing is that the person who did it is too strong, and has a reputation for being a fierce person. Whoever dares to provoke him, afraid that the pile of burned corpses buried at the edge of the forest will have a few more.
Only, they quickly realized that, after Kain made his move, what they considered the spoils of war was left lying around in the sa place.
It seed he had no intention of collecting those things. This eventually caused the Adventurers to explode.
Everyone was initially afraid that even though Kain didn't collect these spoils, they had been marked as his. It was only after soone took the risk of taking the spoils to sell, but there was no sign of revenge from Kain. All the Adventurers were already in an uproar.
Many Adventurers, strong or weak, were rushing into the Dungeon to make a living. It didn't matter whether they were strong or weak. After all, all the monsters in the first floor of the Dungeon had been blatantly killed by Kain.
There were people who bowed down and thanked this mysterious Magus, there were people who secretly speculated about his true intentions, there were people who ignored him and just made money,... There were many different reactions, but on the surface, everyone was happy. After all, how could one not be happy when money suddenly ca into one's pocket?
But in contrast to that positive atmosphere, elsewhere the atmosphere was relatively cold.
It was a eting of the people in power in Kadata town.
Even though Kain's actions had stimulated the town's sowhat stagnant economy, the increased volu of goods also led to more rchants. There was no such thing as saturation for strategic goods like Salamander leather, but rather, they sold more and more. A large amount of money flowed through the town.
But the faces of the people in power turned pale, not happy at all.
Because they know what this stands for.
"Is that Magus crazy?"
An angry man slamd his hand on the table, the anger in his eyes was hard to hide. Their perfect move had been ruined by Kain.
If things had continued as they were, they would have just stood by and watched this battle unfold. However, Kain had revealed his whereabouts, even deliberately publicizing his existence.
This was like Kain screaming.
"I'm here! I'm the culprit! I'm the Magus who uses [Thunder Magic] and [Fire Magic]! Co and arrest !"
Under normal circumstances, it would be a good thing for the murderer to turn himself in. But the problem here is, do they dare to arrest him?
Not to ntion that Kain had taken an action that benefited the majority of the townspeople, while the town governnt had long been criticized for allowing evil elents like the Horon and Horan twins to run rampant. Once they dared to order the arrest of Kain, this town would definitely split in two. Your next journey awaits at empire
This is no different than destroying their careers and properties.
Not to ntion that even if you want to capture Kain, you need to have enough power. If you fail to capture him and Kain kills you, then you will lose everything.
So what if they decide not to arrest?
Of course the result would be contrary to their original calculation. And this would be no different than offending that person.
Before, when Kain was still on the run, they could have used the excuse that Kain hid too well and couldn't be caught, and they had tried their best. But now, Kain was just about to scream in their ears, if they hadn't decided to capture him. This would be considered condoning the murderer in that person's eyes.
Making enemies with a noble, the outco is not much better.
