Gardener, Cook, Healer, Knight, Butler, and then maid. The first three were not that much strong but still good enough for the current me. The last three, however, gave me good enough exp. But that was not the surprising thing. The real surprise was the skills. I can't see their descriptions, but I can somewhat understand what these skills are capable of doing. It doesn't hurt to learn them as they could be useful. The spies gave the same kind of skills though and the healers gave two skills.
"Yes"
[Command received]
[Consuming three skills points]
[Learning the skills]
[Please wait]
There is no need to consider it. I don't know about stealth and blessing, but the skill 'heal' cost was three skill points in the shop. Getting it for one is a bargain.
The only problem I have to face now is Andreas finding that his spies are no more operating. I had considered using the runes to keep them stationed here and send false reports back to Andreas but there was no other advantage to this other than stalling Andreas. And I was also too angry to spare their lives anyway. But what is done is already done. Now I have to focus on important things. Like increasing the skills in my arsenal.

These skills are not that amazing right now, but if used wisely, even at their current level, they can be useful somewhat. Let's see if I can upgrade them using Skill points. "System, how many skills can I increase using Skill points?"
[Among the skills in possession of the user, only heal is upgradeable using skill points]
"I see. Upgrade it."
[Command received]
[Consuming 1 skill point]
[Skill 'Heal' is now Level 2]
[Effects: Recovers 60 Hp peruse for 20 Mp]
Effects didn't increase by much. I wonder if. "Upgrade it again"
[Command received]
[Consuming 2 skill points]
What the hell? Two? What a rip-off.

[Evolving skill]

That was unexpected but great anyway. In just 80 Mp, I can recover my health completely. Now let's see what changes have happened to my status. "Status."

Six levels at once. I guess I have to check places where criminals gather. This method is way faster than usual. I have sufficient Stat points now but I will hold them until I leave the manor for the next phase of my plans. Cynthia must have completed her investigations as well. I will check them once I check on Carla. I have to make sure there is no trace of poison in her otherwise she will crave it. From interrogating them I found, the poison was not lethal to life, but it would make someone an addict, like a drug. I can somewhat figure out what his plans for doing this were. And that has cost him an arm. Or should I take a leg? I will decide when I will visit him.

[Dual mana circulation complete]
[Carla Von Revstein's mana has improved slightly]
[Your mana has increased by 20 units]
My mana increased by the same amount even after a second time. Carla's mana became denser again by the same amount. It seems this circulation method is important for both of us. Pity that her body can't take the full brunt of it yet, so I have to do this in small intervals every day. But it's not like there are not any results. Her mana had improved and increased just after two times. There are no impurities inside of her now and so it has become easier to circulate mana now even though it is just a second session.
"Thank you, Michael." She said while smiling and looking at my face. Since my eyes were closed, I could not see what she was doing. "You don't know how relieved I am to see that you now have the power to protect yourself." There were tear stains on her face. She did not ask about anything. Why I hid the fact about using mana? How did I know about the ploys of my grandfather? What are my plans now regarding everything? Nothing.
I still explained everything on my own and told her about my plans for the next two years. I also told her about the rumors that I had tasked Cynthia to spread. And I also told her about the people who were involved in her poisoning incident. She still only told me to be careful and nothing regarding this incident.

\\\ I couldn't write for the last four days because I was not feeling very well and also because I had a lot of assignments piled up. Only five chapters this week because I still have some assignments so I will compensate for it with a 15-chapter release next week.
