Chapter 128: A One-Man Reflection and Setting Out on a Journey Part 2
Right, it surprised me that my skills increased at once, but another thing that surprised me was the sudden increase in my magic status. Originally, my maximum MP was 2100, which was over ten times that of Lilys. But now it was 3600. The 1500 sudden increase surprised me. My MGC also increased by 200, becoming 910 now. It would reach four digits soon
Hmm, the reason my skills had increased was probably because I got out of a crisis, but I really didnt understand the reason for my MP and MGC improvement.
When I got through hard times before, I experienced having my skills increasing and my levels going up at once But what about this? Uhh I should keep it in the corner of my mind and examine it later.
My fourth countermeasure was strengthening my equipment. This was the most important point.
I gave up on strengthening my close combat capability. I realized that I didnt have any motor nerves or fighting sense. So I should make equipment to supplement that area. In short, armor. That should also be armor I could handle.
But as you could see, I was petite and powerless. This was what I thought, but I think my growth wouldnt change much from now on, and I was about to give up hoping for a growth spurt. Yeah, I gave up on increasing my height.
Physically, its impossible to use heavy armor. Even if I bestowed [Weight Reduction] on the armor, having it hinder my movement would be meaningless. I was agile, so I didnt really like having armor restricting me.
That didnt mean I didnt have armor! I moved up my schedule and made what I originally planned to!
I want a golem armor I could ride. That was also called a humanoid mobile weapon, or a robot.
Yeah, that was the second thing I had always wanted to make since a long time ago.
The first thing I wanted to make was an elaborate, self-supporting android. I think I should be able to make it once I raised my [Automata Creation] skill level.
By the way, I also had the third thing I wanted to make. But that was still a secret.
Eh? Why did I want to make a robot? Thats because its related to my work in my previous life. I diverted humanoid robots to weapons. But I wouldnt go into details.
Want to know more? No way, its annoying. I was reborn and became a different person, so whats the point? I would use the knowledge since it was convenient, though.
So I wanted to make advanced golem armor Actually, I was planning to make it after having more skills and materials Since Norn and Bell were my escorts during outdoor activities, having a golem doing all the work might stunt their growth, so I was troubled by that.
Lets decide the details of the specifications one by one. And these were what I had decided so far.
After reflecting on various things and devising countermeasures, I should take several days to prepare. I would be mainly buying food and various materials. And withdraw money in the Commercial Guild? Yeah, the amount of my money there had increased again
I also wanted to go to Arnolds workshop to say goodbye to them and had Master take me to a wholesaler so I could buy a lot of steel materials. When it came to making golem armor, it wouldnt matter how much steel I had! At the very least, I wanted to make the entire boarding area with mithril. People might get surprised at me buying as many mithril as I could, but it couldnt be helped. Huh? I said I would make sure not to stand out? But hey, this was a kind of investment too, you know. Maybe.
That was how I got busy with various preparations until the day of departure that came in no time.
On that day I mean, I had already gone out of the gate, but many people were seeing us off.
Triela and the others came even though I had said my goodbyes to them several days ago, together with Sheryl and her sister. Other than that was Gim and his party member By the way, no one in the workshop came. Of course, they were busy with their work after all.
After saying my goodbyes to those people again, the last person appeared. It was Vector. For him to take time to come here doesnt he have too much free time? Do your job properly.
Still, I didnt talk with Vectors party members. I wasnt close with them. Its a hassle to get entangled with Neil, and I wouldnt want to get dragged into trouble too, not currying up to them.
Dont you think its unnecessary to leave the royal capital? No, I thought I wanted to switch the environment for once. I see Now that you say that, its possible for adventurers like us to work elsewhere for a while, huh? Yes Im sorry for leaving abruptly after receiving a lot of help from Vector.
I had reflected on myself, so I decided that I had to deal with Vector to some extent. It was troublesome, though. But I was also at fault here, so it couldnt be helped.
No, about that incident, I didnt contact you beforehand, so its my fault Im sorry for that I think the biggest reason is that I didnt have enough sense of crisis, so please dont apologize so much. I guess hearing that makes me feel a bit better. I couldnt erase my habits when I grew up as an orphan. I have to change too.
Now then, lets feel him around here.
Are you an orphan? Yes, well Orphans have it hard too. They have to worry about life and so on. I guess so Yes Orphanages are pretty similar, but mine is privately run. How can I say this We have an investor, so we need to follow their intention Orphanages owned by the state may be different, though. Following the intention of the investor? Did something happen? Who knows?
I concealed it with a smile. He might find something if he suspected my words and investigated it. Even if he solved the problem, I didnt ask for it, so I didnt have any debt to him. Nah, I wasnt being sly, okay? He was also indebted to me, so having this to call it even would save me a lot.
I said little since Triela and the others were here. I wasnt confident that Vector could solve this matter just because I asked him properly too. I just thought it would be nice if he could investigate it. Who knows, maybe I would get lucky to get some information when I meet him again one day?
Vector was pondering for a while after listening to my meaningful words, but he soon returned to his usual handsome smile. It was the usual shady-looking smile.
Ren, lets go soon. Ah, yes.
Lily called me out at the right time, so I bowed at them lightly for the last time, got into the carriage, and departed.
Its sunny today, a good day for departure. What would happen in the future, I wonder?
