There are 30 magic points left, which means that one shock will consume 20 magic points, and I can only use it twice a day at most. Fortunately, I used hypnosis to control the bandit leader and Gary to kill each other in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to win in a head-on fight. "Did you also bring the scaly bear from the forest?" Isidor asked. "No, it's the bandit leader I just killed. He is a dual-class warlock and warrior, and has the ability to guide wild beasts." Gary felt a chill on his neck and replied quickly. "Your cooperation is really perfect. It has broadened my horizons." Isidor said, and with a light slash of the sword, a flower of blood bloomed on Gary's neck. "Mr. Isidor, please wait..." When the uncle was about to stop him, Gary had already fallen in a pool of blood, ending his sinful life. "Uncle, I know you are kind, but if you still show mercy to the enemy to this extent, it might hurt yourself." Isidor shook off the blood on the sword and put the sword back into the scabbard. It was his first time killing someone, so he was somewhat panicked, but when he thought about the fact that this man had wanted to take his life not long ago, he did not feel much psychological burden. "That's true... You guys, come with me and bury this guy! The rest of you go and change the axle. No one is allowed to tell anyone about this. When you go back, tell everyone that Gary was killed by a monster. Do you understand?" the uncle ordered. "Understood!" Everyone agreed and started to get busy according to the uncle's instructions.
"Killed by a monster... That's not wrong." Isidor thought to himself. After the axle was replaced, the uncle was afraid that the bandits would make a comeback, so he ordered the caravan to light torches and move forward overnight, and not stop to rest until they were within sight of the town. Including the time for changing the axle and the time for traveling, it was already dawn. The uncle asked everyone to rest first, and he and Isidor were responsible for vigilance. "Mr. Isidor, you saved us again. I didn't expect that you not only know the secret technique to drive away wild beasts, but also have such strong fighting ability! You even managed to take Gary's attack." After making sure the surroundings were safe, the uncle expressed his gratitude to Isidor again. "No, no, if you hadn't attracted Gary's attention, I wouldn't have been able to succeed in his sneak attack given his alertness. But that guy is really strong, and my arm is numb." Isidor laughed. In fact, the reason why he was able to launch a successful sneak attack was mainly because he took advantage of his weapon. The speed and concealment of a sword were much better than an axe, but there was no need to explain this to the caravan. "No, my praise is not flattery, but I really think Mr. Isidor is very strong. I often deal with adventurers, and based on my observation, your strength should have reached the top of C level, or even very close to B level." The uncle said seriously. "Are B-rank adventurers very powerful?" Isidor asked curiously. "Very cool! There are five levels of adventurers, from D to S. The guild will regularly give corresponding ratings based on the adventurers' task completion. D-level adventurers do not need to be assessed, as long as they register they are D-level. To get C-level, you need a certain level of strength. Generally speaking, C-level adventurers can easily deal with some low-level monsters, such as goblins, slimes, skeletons and the like." The uncle explained. Isidor nodded. The uncle's assessment of his own strength was indeed very accurate. Dealing with several goblins at the same time was almost his limit. If it weren't for Esina's strengthening magic that day, he would not have been able to win against eight people at once. However, the uncle didn't know that he had a trump card in the form of hypnosis. If used properly, it would not be difficult to kill an enemy stronger than himself. "As for B-rank, that's Gary's level. If he fights seriously, even a powerful monster like the Scaled Bear is no match for him. B-rank adventurers already have a very high status in the guild, and even nobles have to treat them with courtesy." The uncle continued. "B-level is already so powerful? Then how powerful are A-level and S-level?" Isidor asked curiously. "A-rank adventurers are incredible. I met one when I was collecting furs in Grimdor. She was so powerful that she could complete difficult missions alone, such as single-handedly breaking into the goblin cave to rescue the king's daughter, and challenging the orc squad that harassed the border alone and winning." The uncle paused, his eyes full of awe as he continued: "As for S-class, that's not something that people like me can get in touch with. They represent the pinnacle of humanity, and a country may not even have one S-class adventurer. There are rumors that they can rival an army alone, and there are even legends of S-class dragons being slain. Although it's hard to believe that these are true, for ordinary people, they are indeed legendary." Isidor nodded and said nothing. He was thinking: What level are spirits like Aisina and Noelle? They are obviously much stronger than Gary, probably at least A-level, or even S-level. After all, he has never seen them fight at full strength. When I think about it this way, the gap between me and them is still huge. I need to get stronger quickly, at least to the level where I can confront people like Gary head-on. "Oh! The city gate is open. Let's go into the city and find an inn to rest!" At this moment, the uncle pointed at the gate of Grimdor and said.
Chapter 18 The Maid Knocks on the Door After entering the town, Isidor parted ways with the caravan. Because of his special skill of "patience", he did not feel very tired even after a night of twists and turns, but he still found a hotel to rest. Just as he closed the door and prepared to take a nap, he suddenly heard a system notification sound: [The evil goblin has stepped into the human town. He has opened a room and is ready to welcome his first victim! ] "Damn it, your crappy system can only rely on this thing to make its presence felt, right? Why don't you give me a decent plug-in?" Isidor couldn't help but complain. However, this reminder also reminded him that after watching Noel's live broadcast last time, his Ghostly Animal Value increased to 190 points on the spot, and his newly acquired racial skill "Evolutionary Potential" also increased to LV9 in one go. On the Evil Goblin development panel, all skills have a description to explain their effects. For example, Stick Mastery states: [Increases the owner's mastery of stick weapons] Evolutionary potential is naturally no exception, but in comparison, its description is much vaguer, with only one sentence: [Increases the owner's evolutionary potential]. Hmm, what a detailed explanation. It's really like listening to your words. But no matter what, I have to find a way to increase the Ghost Beast value by another 10 points, because according to the last experience, I will get a good reward when the Ghost Beast value reaches . I urgently need to become stronger now, and this is undoubtedly the fastest shortcut. However, the ghost value seems to be something that can only be increased when one has evil thoughts in one's mind, and it is best if the evil thoughts arise naturally. If one deliberately YYs, it will have no effect. Suddenly, he began to miss Aisina again. When he was with her, he never had to do anything to improve his ghost value. "Forget it, I'll just take a nap first and then go to the Adventurer's Guild to register." Thinking of this, Isidor took off his clothes and had a good sleep. After waking up, Isidor felt hungry and prepared to order some food. There is a service bell in every hotel room here. Just pull the rope at the head of the bed hard, and it will ring the bell in the waiter's lounge. Each bell corresponds to an independent room. When the waiter hears the bell, he will rush to the corresponding room to check the situation. It can be said to be a very convenient design. Soon after Isidor rang the service bell, there was a knock on the door. Isidor opened the door and a girl in a maid outfit came in. She looked very delicate. Although her appearance was not as good as Esuna, this maid could also be called a beauty. By human standards, she was already of above-average appearance. What was even more rare was that shy expression. He had never seen such a lovely shyness on Esina's face before. [The first victim has appeared, and the evil Goblin is ready to start implementing his evil plan! ] The system prompt sounded at the right time. The expression on Isidor's face froze for a moment. This time the system prompt was indeed correct. He did intend to use the maid in front of him to increase his ghost value. "Hello, Mr. Isidor, is there anything I can do for you?" the maid asked with a smile. "Of course, come here and rub my legs!" said Isidor. The maid was stunned for a moment, and showed an embarrassment: "I'm very sorry, our store doesn't have this kind of service. I'm only responsible for cleaning and taking orders." "I'll give you a tip," Isidor said, taking out two silver coins and weighing them in his hand. Along the way, he had already learned about the prices here from the caravan uncle. The reward for an ordinary C-level adventurer for a mission was only a dozen silver coins, and these dozen silver coins were enough for him to have a good time in the town for a while.
So although two silver coins are not a lot of money, they can be considered quite generous as a tip. "Okay, I'll do it!" The maid hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind to walk forward, sit on the edge of the bed, put Isidor's legs on her legs and started rubbing them. The maid's technique was very poor, she had no idea about massage techniques, she just kneaded it normally. But even so, it was quite enjoyable to watch such a beauty serving me. As he was pinching, Isidor suddenly felt something was wrong. When the maid's palm touched his skin, he clearly felt that her palm was very rough and there seemed to be a thick layer of calluses on it. But then he thought, the maids in this world are not the kind of young ladies in the coffee shop who never have to do any housework. Maybe they really have to do a lot of heavy work, so it is not surprising that they have some calluses on their hands. "Use some strength, it's so soft and limp." Seeing that the beast value of the ghost was not increasing, Isidor had to make further requests. "Yeah." The maid nodded, and the strength in her hands suddenly increased. Isidor felt as if his calf was clamped by an iron clamp and he cried out. "Sorry, did I hurt you?" the maid apologized quickly. "Sister, you're pinching me so hard, how can you massage like this?" Isidor complained, covering his calf. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not used to doing this kind of work." The maid seemed frightened and kept apologizing to Isidor. "Nimega! What have you done to the guests again?!" Just as the two were talking, the innkeeper heard the noise and ran up to ask. "I...I, I, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The maid lowered her head and kept apologizing, and finally she even covered her face and cried. "Why do you always get into trouble? If so, I will deduct your wages!" said the boss angrily. "Boss, I think this is just a misunderstanding. I asked her to clean the bed, but when she came down she accidentally hit her leg, so she screamed." Seeing this, Isidor quickly spoke up to smooth things over. "In that case, I misunderstood - Nimega, stop crying and make the bed for the guests!" After the innkeeper said this, he exchanged a few meaningless polite words with Isidor, then turned and left the room. "Okay, don't cry, the boss has left." Isidor comforted. "Really?" Nimega raised her head. There was not a trace of tears on her face. It seemed that the crying just now was just fake. "Do you want me to call him up again?" Isidoro felt so cheated that he hated that there was no anti-fraud app in this world. Even if he was really cheated, he had no place to report it. "No, no, he's very fierce and will definitely deduct my wages. If I can't make any money, I will have to continue working here until I pay off my debts." Nimega said, pretending to wipe away her non-existent tears. "So you owe money to the store owner. I was wondering why you didn't act like a proper waiter." Isidor complained. "I will study hard. How about I continue to massage your legs?" asked Nymega. "No, I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair." Isidor said as he pulled his legs back into the quilt. "Then, I'll do some other services for you as compensation. I really need the money." The maid begged. Chapter 19: Living Dead Water Although Nymega looked pitiful, Isidor remained unmoved. The calluses on her hands and her amazing finger strength had already made Isidor seriously doubt the maid's identity.
"Show me your hand," Isidor demanded. "Are you a hand control? But my hands are a bit rough. I'm confident about my breasts." Nimeka said shyly. "I'm not Kira Yoshikage. I don't have a preference for my opponent. I'm just a little curious," Isidor insisted. "Okay." Nymega reluctantly spread her hands and held them up in front of Isidor. "Sure enough..." Isidor touched the calluses on her hands and already had the answer in his mind. "Are breasts really better?" asked Nymega. "Don't play dumb, you should be a swordsman, right?" Isidor asked. "Huh?" The expression on Nimega's face froze all of a sudden. She was no longer charming, but looked a little cold instead. "I know a sword expert. The calluses on her hands are in almost the same position as yours. If she doesn't use the sword for a long time, she won't get calluses in such a special position." Isidor said confidently. "My great-grandfather lived to be 107 years old. Do you know why?" said Nimega. "You are in good health because you keep practicing sword?" "No, because he never meddles in other people's business." Nymega replied coldly. "I don't want to meddle in other people's business. I'm just curious. Why would a swordsman like you work in a place like this? With your strength, you can definitely find a job as an adventurer." Isidor asked curiously. "That's impossible. I don't have any ability to fight right now." Nymega shook her head. "No way? You have quite a strong hand." Isidor said. "Do you really want to know?" Nymega asked, looking into Isidor's eyes. "I'm a little curious." Isidor nodded. "There's really nothing I can do. I'm always very careful when facing adventurers. I didn't expect that a dwarf would understand this. Forget it, as long as you promise not to tell anyone that I'm a swordsman, I'll show it to you." Nymega sighed and slowly lifted the hem of her maid outfit. Isidor opened his eyes wide and looked over, only to see that Nymega was wearing a black bodysuit similar to a swimsuit on her snow-white thighs. "That's it? Your taste is very average. If it was lace or lace-up, I might be excited." Isidor shook his head. "Come closer and take a closer look." Nymega said, lifting the hem of her skirt a little higher. "It's very ordinary if you look closely." Isidor said it was ordinary, but his body still moved forward honestly. He originally just wanted to appreciate the beautiful girl's plump and white thighs from a close distance, but when he took a closer look, he found that the girl's clothes were indeed a bit strange. The black jumpsuit was not made of cloth or silk, but more like the skin of some creature. If you look closely, you can see that the suit is moving slightly, as if it is breathing. "Is this thing alive?" Isidor bravely touched it with his finger, but the slippery feeling made him withdraw his hand immediately. "That's right. It parasitizes on my body and absorbs my magic power and nutrients for food. It's fine during normal activities, but once I engage in activities like fighting, which consume a lot of magic power and physical strength, it will accelerate its growth until it completely covers me." Nymega let go of her skirt and sighed. "Is there no way to get rid of it? Like burning it with charcoal like you would a leech?" Isidor asked. "It's useless. This thing is highly integrated with the host's body. Any pain, itching and other feelings it feels will be transmitted to me. If I forcibly peel it off, I'm afraid I will lose my life." Nymega shook her head.
"Is there no other way?" "There is a way. The Holy See has a unique purification magic that can directly act on the soul of the monster and strip it off completely. But the Holy See's fees are very high, so I thought about working and earning money, so that I can save enough money to exorcise the monster in the future." Nymega replied. "How did you get involved with such a weird thing?" Isidor couldn't help but become curious. "It's a long story." Nimica sighed. "Then let's make it short," Isidor urged.
