I arrived at the room in the back without getting a blow from the boss. Can it be so easy to win?
Usually, It's very hard to break through the boss room without defeating the boss. Unless you're me of course.
There was a small room with a treasure chest in the center and a magic circle with a faint light behind it.
Surely it might be a transfer device to move to the entrance, I should go see what's in the treasure box first.
Speaking of a treasure box, it sounds good, but it's made of wood, so it's not much appreciated. The luxurious treasure chest may not appear unless it is a dungeon with stronger bosses ...
Well, a chest is a chest.
"Open!"
Paka!
I opened the treasure chest and looked inside.
there was a book.
"... Maybe it's a magic book?"
Is it a weapon? an item? or is it really just a book?
I picked up the book and take a look at the contents. I was extremely excited as my heart is throbbing so fast. This is the first item that I got by myself.
Expectations swell-up but.....
"Blank?"
No, no, no, no, no.
Even if i flipped all the pages, there's no picture and no text. Why us there such a stupid thing exist?!
An unpleasant sweat goes down the back.
"Return my expectations dammit!"
"At least write something !!"
Curses, I tried to throw away the book but I refrained from doing so.
"Wait. Perhaps there may be a pattern that requires a special way to read."
This is a different world.
Even a game might have needed items to read a book. Okay, let's bring this book back to the guild to ask what it is.
With the book and the medicinal herbs, I walked to the magic circle.
The magic circle is written directly on the floor and shines in a pale warm color. I am a little worried about whether I'll go back at the entrance. There is no convenient explanation about where does the magic circle lead.
I decided to get on the magic circle while laughing at my extreme adventure. Everything is an experience, and if the destination is a monster house, avoid it and run away.
When I got on the magic circle, the heat blew from the bottom. When I closed my eyes unintentionally, at the next moment, I was already standing at the entrance of the dungeon.
"Haha, that 's amazing…"
It was already dawn and the sun was rising.
I know it's still early in the morning, but there are a number of adventurers trying to get inside the dungeon.
"...?"
There are many people who seem to be stronger than expected.
I think that this dungeon was easy for me because i was able to avoid all the attacks. I don't think anyone van do this while still at level 1.
There are also large parties that carry large luggage. In contrast, there are also some lightly dressed parties. The level of hunting is decided in advance.
There is a slime on the first level and the last is a brutal bear.
I started walking towards the city, contrary to the adventurers entering the dungeon.
◆ ◆ ◆
"Oh! Hiroki-san !!"
When I entered the adventurer's guild, Harla-san, who took the consultation, called me. She might have been worried when saw her looked at me at a relieved expression.
Immediately, when I went to Harra-san's counter, she giggled.
"Welcome back"(Harla)
"Thank you"(Sakurai)
"I was worried because you told me you would go to the dungeon alone. If you looked safe, you didn't go to the dungeon, right?"(Harla)
"No, I did go to the dungeon."
"Oh, did you find a party to enter?
"Nope"
Harla was very surprised when herbs were taken out of my bag and placed it on the counter.
"So much !? And this is a light orange herb! It's a pretty valuable thing that only grows in the tenth level of the dungeon!!"
After Harura-san told me "I 'm sorry," she began to assess the medicinal herbs I had picked.
"Hiroki-san's herbs are all in good condition. Did you get a strong party? "
"No, I'm alone"
"Seriously?"
When I told her that I was really soloing, Ms. Harla tilted her head.
"If so, then how did you do it?"
"I said I'm an evasion healer. I avoided all monster attacks."
"... I see."
Harla put an expression that explains bewilderment.
... Well, is that okay?
"For the time being, please settle the quest."
"Yes. There are 1,000 lots of light orange herbs and 20,000 lots because there are 20 bundles. 500 lots of light green herbs and 5,000 lots of 10 bundles. The total is 25,000 lots."
"Thank you"
I can finally go shopping to my hearts content. Ren and Ruri might have never gottenbso much money. It boiled my heart that I was able to get so much money.
Finally, I can get rice and a place to sleep.
I thanked Harla and tried to leave the guild but then I remembered about the book. I took out the book and showed it to Harla-san.
"Hm?!"
"This was in the treasure box, but it's all blank. What do you think is the use of this book?"
However, there is no response from Ms. Harla. Maybe she didn't say a word because it's a garbage-like item.
Yeah, as I thought it might be garbage ...
"Hiroki-san! It 's a book of skill acquisition !!"
"eh?"
When I heard Harra-san's words, I opened my eyes wide.
"It's a book that can grant you a skill? But it's a blank sheet ..."
"Well, there is a way to use it. The skill acquisition book shows the rarity by the color of the book cover."
"Fum Fumu"
The skill book I got is a light brown cover. The paper quality is not so good and it seems to be broken.
As expected, Harla told me that this spellbook is the least valuable.
"Selbit to me, 50,000 lots"(Harla)
"really"
"I'm serious"
If you are an adventurer, you can get it and use it for yourself, but nobles and common people who really want skills will buy it. Therefore, it seems that there is almost no price fluctuation due to demand.
"I will ask you once."
"Of course I will use it!"
It's really ridiculous to sell it.
If you need money, you can also take herbal quests. It's so much more attractive to get new skills.
"Alright..... To use it, try using the skills you have to your skill acquisition book. It will absorb Hiroki's magical power and give you new skills."(Harla)
"I see"
"But it seems to fail sometimes ..."
"Really?"
"Yes. I don't know that much, but I've heard that people with lots of skills can fail."
Certainly, it would'nt be meaningless for me to use a skill acquisition book. I only have two skills, Heal and Regeneration.
Will it grant me a recovery skill because my occupation is a Priest?
"I'll try it for now."
"Okay"
First I opened the spellbook and held my hand over the blank page.
And ――――
"[Heal]!"
