My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 67: The Working Leopard?

A few minutes later.

"Clippity-clop!"

A chestnut horse galloped quickly on the road from Dorne City to Mill Town. Each time it passed a carriage, the sound of its hooves would slow down a bit.

"Strange! The carriage can’t be traveling that fast." Having observed a carriage again, Laisa furrowed her fine eyebrows in doubt.

"Could it be they’re taking the northern road?"

From Dorne City to Mill Town, there are three roads. People generally choose this or the two roads to the northwest. As for the other narrow path, it’s unsuitable for carriages, which Laisa quickly eliminated.

"It must be!"

"But if I go to the northern road now..."

"They’re in a carriage, at my speed, I can catch up in half a day at most." With a quick decision made, Laisa nudged her stirrups and turned towards the northern road.

...

Meanwhile, the carriage with Raine and Elise was just slowly leaving the southern gate of Dorne City.

At this moment, Raine suddenly thought of a question.

"Miss Elise, you mentioned at the Iron Furnace Workshop that the Association seems to sell magic equipment?"

Elise blinked her beautiful eyes, showing slight confusion, as if she hadn’t expected Raine didn’t know about this.

"Yes, after being promoted to Black Iron Level Adventurer, you can enter the second floor of the Association, where you can actually purchase some magic equipment."

"Because most adventurers choose to sell rare materials from demons to the Association, the magic equipment from there is far superior in quality and variety compared to the market."

"This is something even large weapon workshops like the Iron Furnace Workshop can’t compare with."

"So for adventurers wanting to buy suitable magic equipment at a reasonable price, the Association is the likely option."

Elise explained in detail.

"I see." Raine looked enlightened.

No wonder he had never seen a counter selling magic equipment when visiting the Adventurer’s Association; it seems the tier was not high enough.

Only Black Iron Level Adventurers have the chance to purchase magic equipment within the Association.

"Miss Elise, now that you’ve been promoted to Official Priest, shouldn’t you be able to advance to Black Iron Level Adventurer?"

"Although I’m now an Official Priest, according to Association rules, advancing from White Porcelain Level 3 to Black Iron Level requires passing a promotion assessment first."

Elise rubbed her fair forehead and continued, "But the problem is my combat divine art is quite poor; with a solo task, I’m afraid it won’t work..."

"If there are solo tasks, are there also group tasks?" Raine asked again.

"Yes, but I don’t want to take the assessment with strangers. However, if Mr. Rein steps into Classes, we could apply together." Elise smiled sweetly.

"Of course, that’s no problem. It’s just that I still need some time to advance to Classes."

"Yes, I believe Mr. Rein will have no problems." Elise smiled sweetly, her large eyes forming crescent shapes again.

...

Two days later.

On the carriage.

Raine was holding a book with a white cover, with metal decorative carvings at the four corners, reading with interest.

This "Lankote Snowfield Monster Atlas" cost him 8 silver coins to purchase.

Raine hesitated before buying it, but after considering it carefully, although he doesn’t have the strength to head to the Lankote Snowfield in the short term, if he wants to enhance his Frost Affinity, he will eventually need to hunt a snowfield monster.

Moreover, this time may not be too far off.

Elise, already an Official Priest, and Reya advancing smoothly, two Classes plus him, this matter can basically be slowly planned.

Given this, understanding the demon situation in the Lankote Snowfield early on is very necessary.

The first page of illustrations featured the Winter Wolf, Raine’s preferred choice.

"Winter Wolf, white fur is highly adept at camouflaging in the snowfield, aggressive, cunning, often hunts in groups of four to six. Similar in size to the Dire Wolf, it makes it one of the deadliest hunters in the Lankote Snowfield."

"Four to six?" Upon seeing this, Raine frowned slightly.

This is completely different from what he imagined; he originally thought the Winter Wolf, a demon with a Challenge Level of three, would hunt solo like a tiger, but it seems it hasn’t changed from the wolf’s habit—group hunting.

’In that case, the target selection can’t be the Winter Wolf.’

’Must find a demon that likes to live alone.’

With this thought, Raine made a quick decision.

He knew well that even if Reya advanced smoothly, plus Elise, and further adding Chris and Grande, maybe they could surround and kill a lone demon with a Challenge Level of three, but under no circumstances would they be a match for a Winter Wolf pack.

Reflecting on this, Raine soon flipped to the second page.

This depicted a strange creature with an owl’s head and a bear’s body.

"Ice Owl Bear, also called Ice Owl Beast, one of the Owl Bear Subspecies, widespread in the Lankote Snowfield, aggressive nature, likes to go out at dusk and night, Challenge Level three."

"The attacks of the Ice Claw and Beak Peck are quite astonishing. Usually, after having a partner, they hunt together."

"(Note: Don’t be fooled by their silly-cute big eyes; every year, female adventurers are caught off guard and die from the beak peck.)"

Seeing their big eyes, Raine couldn’t help but sigh for those deceived female adventurers—’If they were a bit more cautious, they’d realize the claws and pointed beak are very dangerous, right?’

’Besides, this Ice Owl Bear is somewhat like the Tibetan Bear from his past life.’

’One looks silly-cute like an owl with big eyes, and the other stands upright with waving paws.’

"Hey, Raine, what’s this? It looks so cute."

Beside him, Elise tilted her head and glanced at the book in Raine’s hand, immediately captivated by the silly-cute big eyes of the Ice Owl Bear illustration, showing an interested expression.

Cute?

Alright, he admitted that for women, the perfectly clear big eyes of the Ice Owl Bear are indeed very alluring.

"The Ice Owl Bear of the Lankote Snowfield, despite looking silly-cute and adorable, is actually aggressive; many female adventurers have perished at its hands." Raine, while handing the atlas to Elise, warned her.

He didn’t want his teammates making such mistakes.

"Ah!" Elise’s expression changed upon hearing Raine’s words, and she carefully examined the atlas again.

She patted the high crest covered by her Priest Robe, looking relieved: "It looks cute; I didn’t expect it to be so terrifying!"

"Oh, right, Raine, why are you looking at the Lankote Snowfield Monster Atlas?" Elise soon realized something and asked curiously.

Although Reya had told her Raine’s strength was formidable, almost as strong as Classes, the snowfield monsters were different; they were basically all Challenge Level three or higher.

"Uh... Consider it for better comprehending Frost Spell." Raine didn’t hesitate, giving a pre-prepared answer.

In fact, this was also somewhat true because for him, the first requirement was to kill a snowfield monster to obtain higher Frost Affinity talent, thereby comprehending the Frost Spell better.

"Raine, are you soon to become an Official Classes? Great!"

"In that case, our team will soon have three Classes."

"I will fully support you."

With that said, Elise was even more eager than Raine to start flipping through the Lankote Snowfield Monster Atlas.

"Oh, Raine, look, this Frost Blade Leopard is a lone monster." Elise soon gleefully pointed out to Raine.

"Also, its Challenge Level is three, considered one of the weaker demons in the Lankote Snowfield."

Hmm?

Receiving the snowfield monster atlas handed over by Elise, Raine immediately inspected it carefully.

"Frost Blade Leopard, commonly inhabits the edge of the snowfield’s cold zone coniferous forest, usually hunts alone outside mating season, skilled at casting Frost Armor Spell and Ice Blade Spell, hence named Frost Blade."

"(Note: Although individually the combat strength of the Frost Blade Leopard is slightly stronger than the Winter Wolf and Ice Owl Bear, its prey is often stolen by packs of Winter Wolves or partnered Ice Owl Bears.)"

Seeing the last sentence, the words ’working leopard’ suddenly floated in Raine’s mind.
