Chapter 67 - Volume 2 Chapter 23: Recapturing the Capital and Follow-up

(Walson)

After making sure everything is okay, I went back to [Dog House]

In addition to opening the shop at noon today, I also went to the market to wholesale some ingredients and came back.

Maybe I'll have to set aside time to hunt by myself in the future, meat is really not that cheap in the capital.

Then, there's also the potion business.

I spent two hours listening to a bunch of guild bosses talking a bunch of nonsense, and there were also some other guilds who were interested in me.

I rejected them all, the sales volume is already fixed.

In the end, I went to the investigative team in the royal capital to explain again, that Barella and I had nothing to do with the case. That night, we just went out for a walk after dinner and witnessed the murder scene.

Perhaps, as I was thinking of this, the three secret bases of the spies are now being cordoned off by the soldiers of the capital.

The reason is because Grace caused a really huge explosion in one of the secret bases.

I was about to go into one of the secret bases when I found out that the remaining bases have already been dealt with by Grace and Melon, the latter by smashing everything apart, and the former ending everything in one huge explosion.

Grace showed her amazing skills and took down two of the spy's secret bases all by herself..

The average level of spies in the stronghold was between 40 and 50, which can be said to be very high.

Of course, since their level is high, we will also get a large amount of experience points if we kill them.

The way to obtain experience points in this world is mainly through killing.

Just like Humans, Lizardkin, Elves, Dwarfs, and other fantasy races, Monsters can also gain experience points by killing other monsters, and they can also level up and become stronger.

Actually, It's not limited to monsters, you can also gain EXP from killing other people.

The difference between the two is that killing people is against the law, but killing monsters is not against the law.

If the level difference between the person is too large, there will be no experience points gained, so it's not a good way to level up.

Does what I did last night count as killing someone?—I don't think so, I didn't gain experience points from those people who committed suicide by poisoning themselves.

It's all Barella doing.

Proof? Just look at her level! She's level 19 just yesterday, now she's level 22.

I think it's because the level of the targets she kills is above LV40, and there are extra experience points awarded for killing people more than double your levels.

Gaining experience points by killing people... It's a little scary, but I can't blame her for killing them.

The other party came with killing intent, and it was very common to kill the other party in this world.

And she herself has experienced a lot of pain. If these people didn't die, she would have died.

Off topic, those spies all committed suicide by taking poison, there is no possibility of leaking of the kingdom they come from at all.

Then there are also more corpses at some of the scenes, the corpses in the secret bases for example, the ones that Grace defeated with magic and then poisoned themselves, it is very difficult to investigate, and the murderer cannot be found.

Those who committed suicide after being maimed by Melon had signs of freezing or burning on their bodies. It was suspected that they were killed by [Mage] or another magic-using Class, something that Melon is neither of, making her able to escape from the suspicion.

Finally, there are those on the street. The field is full of spider silk, and it is suspected that some arachnid-type monsters are lurking around somewhere.

As for the ones shot to death by Barella, the arrows shot by [Infinity] will disappear a few seconds after hitting them, and the bombing-like power from the [Power] Enhancement is not something that normal arrows can do at all.

On the contrary, someone said that he saw a spider monster, and described the battle process vividly, and the Adventurer's Guild even posted some wanted posters, with none of the drawn figures look alike like any of us.

In conclusion, we were not suspected by the Adventurer's Guild at all.

"Then, let's do some wine tasting. I will take out a jug of wine. As long as you guess all the ingredients, I will be your slave for a day. But if I win, I will paint your face." I declared to Barella.

Two weeks have passed since then.

Now, Barella would drop by my shop every day after she finished her classes at school. She was still smiling just like before, but now it felt more real, as if she was really happy now.

"Come here, whoever is afraid of whom!" Barella puffed up her chest and said proudly, her huge breast bouncing up and down as she did so.

Very good, she took the bait.

Not only is Barella good at drinking, she also has special skills in wine tasting. She can drink any wine given to her. It has become a kind of fun for her to play guessing the ingredients of a wine.

So! I pulled out a jug of regular wine.

I just bought it on the side of the road... Today is very busy and I don't have time to make wine. Melon stayed at school today, and just came back and made three barrels of wine urgently, but it was still not enough.

"Come on, this is the barrel, I consider this some sort of a masterpiece."

"Hum." She picked up the barrel and gurgled it down.

A minute later, she finished her drink and frowned.

"The ratio of ginseng wine is 52:33, and the remaining 15% contains 7.3 grams of Neil's vanilla and 20 ml of Kool juice. It should be like this, right? Did you buy it at the roadside? If it's actually brewed by you, it should taste way better."

"No, no, you made a mistake, you missed something."

"Huh?" Barella frowned, and took another sip, "You're lying, How could it be wrong?"

"No , you really missed some, I didn't lie to you, as a proof, do you feel sleepy now?"

"Um—? Ah? Why am I suddenly feeling tired?"

"I added this." I took out a small packet of herbs from my [Inventory].

It's a plant called [Sleeping Grass], I picked it on the mountain before.

"I can grind it into powder and add it to beverages. It is colorless and tasteless. It is a good choice for sleeping drugs. "

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I originally wanted to draw a creeper, but it was not good to draw a creature that looks like a dick on a girl's face, so instead, I drew a turtle.

Turns out I can't draw really well, thank god I didn't try to draw a creeper, it would surely end up as a dick.

No matter how close we are, I don't think Barella would be happy if I do end up drawing something that looked like a dick on her face.

By the way, after that incident with the spies, Barella has been happily coming to my shop every day, and spent hours drinking and chatting merrily with me

I heard from Grace that she has been very active in school recently. She was originally discriminated against in the Academy and lived a disgraceful life for more than 6 years, but she suddenly turned into a famous person.

Oh, and I heard that she gave a lesson to those who came to trouble her several times in the past.

By the way, is she getting a little drunk recently? How could a wine gobbler like her be drunk?!

When she was drunk, she would hug my arm and dawdle. Although I am very happy as a man, but— The withering glare that Grace sent my way almost physically hurt me.
