My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 303 - 185: Let Me Show You Whether He Can Shatter Me, or I’ll Shatter His Skull! (Part 2)
"Of course, it’s a serious matter, and the assessment may take a few days."
"No problem." Raine handed the rough sketch he obtained earlier to Liya. Naturally, he had already made a backup of it.
"Wow! Right beneath the Azure Mine?" Liya was clearly very surprised, glanced at the map, and immediately covered her mouth and whispered.
"Yes." Raine nodded, "Miss Liya, about how much is the reward for this?"
"Typically, it should range from several thousand to tens of thousands of Gold Coins. But if it’s impassable or travel is restricted, the reward might be appropriately reduced," Liya quickly replied.
"However, the location you discovered happens to be in the heart of the Soladin Kingdom, which significantly increases its value. Hmm... I personally feel there should be at least two to three thousand Gold Coins as a reward."
"Of course, this is just my personal estimate, for your reference only."
"Got it, thank you." Raine smiled and nodded, feeling quite pleased inside.
Two or three thousand Gold Coins!
With this, the gap in the procurement of Mythril I need won’t be much. Just complete one or two more adventure tasks, and I can basically gather enough.
...
Meanwhile.
Not far from Oak Village, in a woodland area, a small team of adventurers emerged from the dappled shadows of the trees.
Leading them was a middle-aged man carrying a Big Bow. Since they were close to the town, the group’s expressions showed signs of relaxation, seemingly because the task went smoothly, as almost everyone had a hint of a smile on their face.
Then, a young man wearing Leather Armor with two daggers at his waist excitedly said from behind the middle-aged man, "Captain Regina, you should be close to advancing to the Classes soon, right?"
These two were Regina and Rogue Apprentice Allison, who had previously teamed up with Raine.
"Just a little bit more! Once we return, with a bit of practice, I should have a good chance." Regina smiled at the question and nodded.
Though modest in words, the confidence between the lines was palpable to everyone else.
"Congratulations, Captain Regina!"
"Amazing!"
"Classes, truly enviable!"
"Yes, so envious! Sometimes, talent really can’t be compensated by hard work..."
Several teammates behind him laughed and said.
"Thank you!" Regina nodded slightly.
Speaking of talent, Regina couldn’t help but recall Mr. Rein, who had once led them as captain. His talent was simply unparalleled.
In comparison, his talent was nothing.
However, thanks to Mr. Rein, after experiencing the battle in Oak Village, he had a vague feeling of breakthrough, and this time, he was reaching the final stage.
He had a premonition that with a little practice, he could break through within these two days.
"Right, just ahead is Oak Village, captain, should we take a detour around it?"
"Definitely! Thanks for reminding me, I almost forgot." Regina smiled and nodded.
Both Regina and Rogue Apprentice Allison greatly admired Raine.
Not only for Raine’s crushing strength but also because unlike many Classes, Raine wasn’t arrogant and treated even the low-level adventurers with kindness, perhaps even could be called considerate.
So, every time they returned from an adventure, as long as it wasn’t too far to detour, they would pass through Oak Village.
If there were small goblin disturbances, they would help resolve them as a way to repay Raine for his previous care.
Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of Oak Village.
But then, Allison’s expression changed, and he whispered, "Captain Regina, something seems wrong."
Regina looked up and saw two adventurers whose figures were distinctively different from the villagers, seemingly arguing with the village chief, Kael.
No, technically, it was just a one-sided confrontation!
One of the adventurers had a similar build but was wearing Armor with a dark Great Sword on his back; the other was more conspicuous, seemingly a Shield Warrior with Half-Orc blood.
He had a Nail Head Hammer at his waist and a Tower Shield on his back, standing over two meters tall, while the ordinary villagers barely reached his chest.
His booming voice carried his words clearly to Regina and Allison’s ears.
"Old man, hurry up and tell me what’s going on with my captain’s brother!"
"Don’t tell me he was killed by the Wild Boar People. If the Wild Boar People killed him, then why didn’t you die?"
Hearing the Half-Orc’s loud conversation, Regina and Allison’s faces changed.
"It’s Blood Sword!" Regina’s eyes lingered on the dark Great Sword for a moment before remembering something, blurting out.
"He’s Scarface’s brother? Captain, should we..." Allison asked urgently.
Facing Classes, who weren’t just Level 1 or Level 2, Regina knew he couldn’t handle them at all.
Even if he advanced to become a formal Classes right now, it wouldn’t work!
"Don’t be impulsive. We’ll immediately return to Mill Town and inform Mr. Rein of this matter." Regina said quickly.
Just then, a disruption occurred among the villagers.
Village chief Kael was lightly touched by the Half-Orc warrior and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Bad guys, Brother Rein won’t let you go!" A clear child’s voice sounded.
Regina’s expression changed immediately, thinking: Not good!
Because at this moment, the conflict had escalated, and if they didn’t intervene, even if Mr. Rein happened to be in Mill Town, by the time he arrived, most of Oak Village’s villagers would probably be lying on the ground.
Perhaps due to the impact, they wouldn’t kill so many villagers outright, but severely injuring a few seemed inevitable.
"Allison, you immediately rush to Mill Town to see if Mr. Rein is around. If not, find Mage Loren or Dwarf Bruno instead."
Regina quickly instructed, while considering the possibility that Rein might not be there.
Being adventurers often meant having uncertain whereabouts, frequently going out for adventures.
"Understood!"
As a Rogue Apprentice, Allison immediately sprinted at full speed towards Mill Town.
Since the Rogue line excelled in speed, a normally two-hour walk could be covered in just a quarter of an hour by full sprint.
Meanwhile, Regina led the others forward quickly.
Blood Sword and the Half-Orc warrior naturally sensed people approaching from behind. They turned to look.
Blood Sword Quinn gave the low-level adventurers a glance and then shifted his gaze away.
In contrast, the Half-Orc Gorgu, with his more volatile temper, shouted at Regina, "Weaklings! This has nothing to do with you, don’t interfere."
Regina knew very well that he wasn’t on the same level as them, and acting boldly would only bring trouble.
But he needed to find a way to stabilize the situation as much as possible, preferably holding out until Allison returned with help, so Regina kept a low profile.
He bowed slightly in salute and respectfully said, "Good afternoon, Blood Sword sir, and this gentleman!"
"Oh? You know me?" Blood Sword Quinn now looked at Regina seriously.
"Blood Sword sir is a well-known adventurer in Mill Town with a widespread reputation. I’ve had the fortune to see you a few times from afar." Regina forced a smile and said.
"Does this village have anything to do with you?" Blood Sword Quinn gave Regina a sidelong glance.
"Yes, it’s like this, Oak Village is where the Skull Breaker once lived, so would you kindly..."
"Skull Breaker?" Blood Sword Quinn seemed puzzled upon hearing the title.
The Half-Orc Gorgu disdainfully said, "Ha, sounds intimidating, Skull Breaker?"
As a hammer wielder himself, he was naturally irritated when hearing such a flashy nickname.
Blood Sword Quinn thought for a moment, glanced at Regina, and asked, "How come I’ve never heard of him before? Is he a newly promoted Classes?"
"Uh, yes, Blood Sword sir." Regina hurriedly nodded.
"Dang! A newly promoted Classes using a showing-off nickname to bluff people?" With one listen of being a newly promoted Classes, Half-Orc Gorgu seemed deeply insulted, ranting angrily.
"If he were in front of me, I’d show you if he breaks my skull or I break his!"
