Another hour passed Randidly humming softly to himself Truly it was a good thing to relax the body Over training only strained the body having hobbies was very important to your mental and physical health
The woman’s chest heaved her eyes bulging But still she kept herself razor focused never wavering with her needlework
By this time Cassie returned and asked them both if they would like to stay on for another 4 hours doing embroidery She cautioned them that if they started they would need to finish or they wouldn’t get paid
Randidly simply nodded standing and following after her His Sewing skill had reached 9 anyway it didn’t seem like grinding like this would have any more effect The gossiping woman collapsed
Alana looked curiously at Devan You don’t want to escape
He simply shrugged and the rest of them seemed similarly relaxed Even Clarissa had frozen and shattered her handcuffs after the guards locked them in the room pulling a pallet out of her spatial ring and taking a nap
It is not that I don’t want to escape but I want to efficiently accomplish our objective Their leader is paranoid and stressed beyond what he can handle He’s worried about everyone taking his power and thinks guns are his only salvation I have no doubt that such a desperate worried man will want a display of power So we wait and try to recruit there
Blinking Alana asked display of power What do you mean
He means One of the squad members interjected That the idiot might publicly torture us or some shit maybe execute us And he will bring a big crowd together to do it Better to let them do the gathering and then cash in on it
Clarissa rolled over on her pallet snoring loudly
Thank you so much for the work Cassie said handing Randidly several tokens He looked at them rather nonplussed He supposed they were for food but its not like he needed it with his satchel space full of it
Uh thank you it was enlightening Randidly said and meaning it His Sewing had reached 11 by the end of the night Cassie was more than willing to teach such a studious pupil more and more complicated needlework which had hastened the rise of his skill level
No thank you If you hadn’t shown up I would have probably needed to work alone by myself for the rest of the day She said beaming Then she had a sudden thought Oh actually take these too
She offered two slips of paper Randidly took them uncomprehendingly
Don’t look so confused Cassie said laughing You must have noticed the costumes were for oh god you really didn’t haha It’s for the concert tonight Those are backstage passes feel free to come and visit It’s supposed to be a good show
Cassie waved as he left and Randidly wandered away bemused A concert huh
He supposed live music was a fine way to relax But for now he walked briskly back to a job cryer looking for something to do until the time he had to meet Tessa
Hopefully there would be more knowledgeable people at this new job
Chapter 66
Daniel looked at the report slightly disappointed In the wake of Glendel acquiring such a powerful sounding class he had dedicated a lot of resources to leveling him up quickly and finding a suitable protege who would use a mentor stone and gain the same class
They had done it but the difference in classes was staggering The notifications sat before him frustrating him endlessly
Congratulations You have received the class of Sovereign of Ghosts You have gained the Spiritual Communication Lvl 1 You have received the skill Spiritual Merger Lvl 1 You have received the skill Spiritual Summoning Lvl 1 You have received the skill Spiritual Bestowal Lvl 1 You have received the skill Aura of the Spirit Sovereign Lvl 1 You have received the skill Soulbind Monster® You may learn 12 additional skills to these and those you already possess Skills may be forgotten to learn new skills +6 Health per Level +20 Mana Per Level +4 Stamina per level +4 Per WP Wisdom or Focus per level (these points may be distributed between 4)
Glendel’s class was truly impressive 6 skills one of them being what The Ghosthound called a rare skill and a 20 point boost to mana per level In addition 4 stats per level although they were distributed to some weird areas
Meanwhile

Nul had said that they could obtain greater or lesser versions of classes through the mentor system but this was oppressively lesser To be fair it was among the higher tiers of the classes they had It allowed them to summon and bind lesser ghosts which were excellent scouts In addition it did also get Ghost Claw which was an offensive move that summoned an ectoplasmic ghost hand to attack with It was scary looking and seemed powerful even at level one
But it was clear that while Glendel had obtained something special The Spirit Caller was a high ranking foot soldier at best
Daniel rubbed his eyes Although increasing his stats meant he could stay awake for longer that didn’t mean he should too often But the reason he was up now was because the hordes used to come around now and he was just used to it
Inwardly Daniel should be pleased at their progress but if anything he felt listless They had survived The tribulation was hanging over their heads but nothing had happened yet The village was growing and prospering Businesses were forming There were weird dancing trees popping up It just felt
Daniel turned to Nul What should we be working towards right now
Nul remained silent
Will we eventually have more direction
This time Nul nodded slowly It is hard to say but perhaps
When will that happen
Again silence Daniel had studied Nul’s reactions for a long time He only didn’t speak when there was a direct answer and he was somehow kept from saying it If the answer was vague he felt no compunction from droning on and one about a subject But when the answer was too simple
A lightbulb went on in Daniel’s head He had planned on purchasing a second kept dungeon with the 12k SP they had but
Nul let’s upgrade to a Trainee Village
Nul’s smile stretched very wide his white teeth glittering in the candlelight
Dammit The man swore his chest heaving dropping his knife and resting his forehead against the counter Randidly continued to consistently slice carrots and move them into the bin He had gained the skill Cutting Vegetables but it was currently only at level 2 Apparently cutting carrots was nowhere near as good experience as sewing The other problem with job was that no one was talking Everyone was just furiously chopping carrots
Which was almost soothing After briefly inquiring to his nearby cutting mates about Sydney Ace and Rawlands Randidly had settled into the monotony of the task without much complaint making him admit to himself that while he still wanted to find Ace and Sydney
Tessa had reminded him of some things that he would rather have been forgotten The long talk with Sydney before Randidly had walked and broken up with Tessa The long walk back from that event where Randidly had wondered the entire time what sort of face he should make in front of Ace
They were his best friends but relationships weren’t simple things And Randidly preferred as little public interaction as possible even at the best of times Besides if they survived this long they probably wouldn’t die from something random right He had time
Randidly looked up searching for the source of a strange pounding noise The man next to Randidly straightened and looked at his hands I’ve been putting most of my points into Agility yanno But It’s like I hit a wall Even though my stat is still going up I can’t get any faster And just a little more and I bet they would move me up to kitchen duty
