READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 56: (1)
“……”
“I’m Smith! Centurion Kaiyan saved me multiple times!”
“Smith?”
“Yeah! Smith!”
As soon as the name Smith was mentioned, Kaiyan remembered. Smith was a young soldier, not as young as him, but probably the youngest among the soldiers, excluding Tarien, in the 7th Special Unit.
But why was Smith here, as a thief who robs others’ belongings?
“Why are you here?”
“W-Well… I had no choice but to escape to avoid the pursuers!” Smith shouted in a voice filled with indignation.
Yes, only The Uncles and Kaiyan, the ones who officially survived in Panielun. There were only unofficial escapees besides them. And Smith was one of them.
“So, that’s why they are wearing the Union soldiers’ attire? Because they’re fugitives like you?”
“W-Well, yes. But Centurion Kaiyan knows! I had no choice but to run to survive!”
Kaiyan didn’t blame the fugitives. They were not prepared individuals for war, but rather desperate ones.
“I’m asking why you were resorting to thievery with the hands that used to kill monsters. If you had to escape, you could have lived quietly.”
Risking lives to harm others?
“Why are you cowardly engaged in thievery, Smith?”
“Ugh!”
When Kaiyan raised his sword, Smith flinched and covered his head with both arms.
Smith was completely consumed by fear. Thinking he would die.
A weaker person than a goblin.
The fact that he survived in the 7th Special unit itself felt like a miracle.
“Well, what are you planning to do from now on? Are you going to continue with your thieving ways?”
“T-That’s… I had no choice if I wanted to survive…”
Crack!
With a forceful strike using his left hand, which wasn’t holding the sword, Kaiyan hit the nearby tree, causing it to sway as if it could break at any moment.
“I won’t kill you for the sake of our connection.”
“Centurion kaiyan…”
“But don’t ever do this again.”
“I… I had no choice, please understand.”
With those words, Smith ran away, leaving his spear behind, slashing through the thick foliage.
Seeing him flee to survive, a part of Kaiyan felt a slight pang of weakness. Did he do the right thing? Did he have the right to condemn him?
“Kaiyan!”
“Oh, Mr. Banson.”
“Huff! Did you handle everything by yourself? Even though you’re just a B-ranker… you’re truly…”
Banson, covered in blood, rushed over and was shocked to see the mercenaries lying in front of Kaiyan.
“You’ve done an amazing job!”
“Excuse me?”
“It’s impressive! I mean it! With this level, You could be an A-ranker in no time!”
Kaiyan wondered if Banson saw him letting Smith go, but judging by his reaction, fortunately, he didn’t.
To divert the topic, Kaiyan pointed at the arrow lodged in Banson’s leg.
“Is the place where the arrow hit okay?”
“This? It’ll be fine once I apply some salve. Haha!”
Banson planned to apply salve to a leg with blood flowing profusely.
Banson was truly a cheerful person, to the point of being hard to understand.
“Well, let’s leave this for later and treat our wounds first. What about the others?”
“Got it. Hey! Stop tidying up and take a rest for now!”
At Banson’s shout, the mercenaries, who were collecting the bodies of the thieves, sat down in their original places.
“Well, it seems like thieves have appeared already, even though the war ended a while ago.”
“Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. And they targeted us of all people.”
“Kaiyan, thanks to you, we survived.”
“That’s… Ugh! Hey, be careful when you pull it out!”
As they chattered away, removing the arrows with caution, Kaiyan couldn’t help but wonder.
“Do we have Rassel Grass?” Bisel said
“Rassel Grass, Bisel?”
“Hmm? Kaiyan, you don’t know Rassel Grass?”
“Rassel Grass? I feel like I’ve heard of it somewhere… Ah!”
Kaiyan remembered. When Mr. Jeff and Mr. Max were injured, they always applied Rassel Grass to their wounds. It was difficult to receive treatment in the infirmary.
Kaiyan had used it once during the early days of the war, but he had forgotten about it since he used his player ability to level up and heal all his injuries.
“Is it an herb with a hemostatic effect?”
“Huh? You didn’t know, but now you do? That’s right.”
Rassel Grass only had a hemostatic effect and didn’t directly treat wounds, but it was an herb that anyone could easily acquire and had the advantage of being inexpensive.
“But is that enough? We’ll have to move again tomorrow.”
“Well, everyone has experienced this kind of thing a few times. To earn money, you have to make compromises.”
“That’s true…”
As Kaiyan was about to answer, a sudden thought crossed his mind.
“Wait a moment. Rassel Grass has been around on the Eunasia Continent for a long time. Shop!”
In a rush, he called up the shop.
If his current thoughts were correct, there was a high chance that the shop would sell Rassel Grass.
“Herbs!”
[Low/Intermediate/High]
“…Low.”
[Low: Rassel, Licorice, Tuna…]
It was there, right at the beginning.
As the situation unfolded as he expected, Kaiyan felt an exhilarating sensation as if magic had exploded in his head.
He had finally discovered one fact about the secretive player system.
“So, the items sold at the shop are Eunasia Continent goods, huh? No! Eunasia Continent goods are included in the shop’s inventory! That’s right!”
The vast inventory of the shop contained Eunasia’s goods.
Maybe the Maslin Aerial Combat Technique he learned and the Freya Swordsmanship Scroll were also Eunasia’s goods. Plus…
“Since they’re selling Rassel Grass, which has been around since the Ojai era, they probably sell ancient goods as well.”
Ancient artifacts or ancient combat techniques.
What if those mysterious items that are only discovered through dungeon exploration are being sold in shops?
“Kaiyan? Why are you lost in thought like that?”
“Huh?”
While lost in thought, Bisel shook Kaiyan’s shoulder, snapping him out of his reverie.
“I called your name, but you didn’t respond.”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
