The reason why half-elves were the first to enter the tertiary city was simple. This is because he has all of his stats and skills so powerful that he has the conditions to deal with level 100 monsters with the greatest ease.
For that reason, for a while, when the 3rd city entrants began to appear in their previous lives, rumors circulated that the half-elf race itself was too fraudulent. Because he was evenly excellent in stats and powerful in terms of skill power.
'That sounds funny.'
But that's what I don't know. Because every race has its own characteristics and strengths.
Gnomes were perfect for wizards because of their dexterity and intelligence, and dwarves had the natural conditions for being warriors because of their excellent strength and stamina. Humans... … .
'I say it's possible, but... … .'
It was a bit ambiguous. Compared to other races, there were fewer class restrictions and there were no significant advantages other than the relatively large number of cities.
Of course, the day will come when it will be put to great use... … .
'That's too far. Hmm, if you have to ask, there must be a training ground.'
Strengthening one's abilities in a way that is not a spare ability level through training grounds and advanced training grounds. Maybe that's one of the human possibilities, because in the case of other races, raising their abilities in a similar way is very limited.
But anyway, it doesn't matter. Because the one who is leading the way right now is none other than Rokhan himself.
"No, don't do that. I'll give you a little more price... … ."
"Tsk tsk! The kids only listen to their appearance. I can't turn it off very well"
They were kicked out for making a deal with a merchant NPC, not knowing that Lokhan was observing them. They are not as despised as humans, but they are no more than ignorant children who do not receive 'recognition'.
The merchants of Crossroads were not warm enough or kind enough to teach and sell something to such fearless newbies.
If the secondary city was a warm provincial town, this could be seen as a cold city.
"Why are you doing this? Someone did something wrong, like touching a villager."
"You know very well that we came here without leaking anywhere as soon as we arrived at Crossroads. Who do you want to touch?"
"Ha, fuck. Then why are you doing this!"
"calm down. Maybe this store is weird. Let's go somewhere else."
"Damn, you know how many times this has happened"
"know. So let's go somewhere else for now."
I don't know the existence of the recognition quest, so I can't get anything more than curse. Moreover, they did not even have the conditions to receive recognition quests yet, so they could be dragged away by the garrison or kicked out of the city if they roamed around the city by mistake.
After that, I'll have to work on my reputation by catching low-level monsters that roam around.
'Oh, I see... … .'
Lokhan, who clicked his tongue while watching them, suddenly remembered the fact he had forgotten.
'I'm a defender too'
In the past, he skipped the garrison quest and forgot it, but he was definitely a member of the Crossroads garrison. Doesn't that mean you can use the same authority?
Recalling that, Lokhan gave a meaningful smile.
"Identity camouflage."
Even changing his identity, he slowly began to follow them. And once again he appeared before them just in time to be kicked out of the store without income.
"Who is making a fuss!"
Although the name and appearance were changed due to identity camouflage, the identity of the garrison was not erased.
Naturally, the crossroads garrison's mark appeared on their shoulders, and the half-elves' faces turned white when they recognized it. He was cursed several times and heard about the garrison.
But how can they not be scared when the garrison is widening their eyes in front of them?
As they held their breath and waited for a response in case they would be kicked out of the city, Rokhan's acting tone line tightened them.
"Hiccup!"
"Oh, no. We intend to... … ."
"noisy! If you want to continue making a fuss, get out of the city right now!"
[Do you want to drive the target out of the city with the authority of the Crossroads Guard?]
I tried letting go of the threat, but a plausible notification window appeared. With the authority of the garrison, you can really drive them out.
Of course, it's a limited ability that can only be used until the recognition quest is performed, and even if you kick it out, you won't be able to directly touch it until it causes problems again after the reputation work.
'That shouldn't be the case.'
However, Rokhan had no intention of kicking them out in the first place.
"no! I will correct it!"
"I will keep my mouth shut!"
Seeing Rokhan's glaring eyes, they were immediately frightened and lowered their heads. He seems to think that he should avoid getting kicked out of the city somehow.
'I guess I can do this.'
Looking at the frightened figure, Rokhan added another word as if patronising.
"Tsk! It smells like sweet mustard. If you want to be treated even a little here, do your job! Yeah, a gyropole would be just right for your level. From what I heard, the store in the center of the downtown area is out of hands, so even kids like you get things, so go there. Well, about 500 would be enough."
"Eek 5, 5 hundred."
"Isn't that enough? After all, kids… … ."
"no. I have to, I have to."
They fell in love with Rokan, who performed method acting. Then, afraid to say something else, he quickly lowered his body and disappeared.
He was going to the downtown store that Rokan had talked about, or to catch the Gyropole wandering around the outskirts of the city.
'Yes, work hard instead of me! Cheek.'
Looking at the backs of those guys, Rokhan gave an evil smile.
Gyropole was a monster with the characteristics of 'physical resistance' similar to Armadillo. Because of that, if you don't have a skill with magic attack power, you have to deal with them with only greatly reduced physical damage.
The problem is that there won't be any magical users moving over to the tertiary city for a while.
Since the 3rd job transfer quest was structured in favor of melee classes, more research on monsters and strategies for attacking monsters had to be secured in order for magic or ranged attack classes to succeed.
Of course, there were monsters that broke through the limits of their compatibility, but they were really few in number.
'Is it really possible to catch about 500 fish'
In this situation, the reason why Rokan leaked the name Gyropole like a quest was simple. That's because the time when they start to act in the Crossroads is slow.
It is difficult to catch, but it will take a long time to complete the reputation work by catching Gyropole, which is not a threat rather than a first-class monster.
In addition, since they gave the least amount of experience among the monsters in the area, it was not a condition to rush the level up.
'Even half of that would be pretty salty.'
But the biggest reason was money. The 'Gyropole's Leather' that Gyropole drops is money.
If you made armor with the leather of the gnome, you could sell it to the store at a price of 50 silver per piece because the physical resistance option was attached with a high probability.
On the other hand, Rokan's 'vending machine' bought it for 5 silver. It was a 10 times profit, but something to know. The users would not know who the owner of the store was, no, whether it was a user or an NPC.
Besides, there was no store that would buy or sell things from them, so if you weren't planning on making your own, you'd have no choice but to use them. Even consumables like potions were needed to raise money.
'For the time being, I can't use the warehouse and integrated auction house, so it's not easy to buy them in large quantities in other cities.'
If you can use either of them, you can use various tricks, but even that is impossible now.
I don't know if you keep your inventory full of consumables, but it can't be the case every time.
'This is fine'
Then a good idea came to me. They will not easily unravel the hard-earned information. But if that's the case, shouldn't you be able to solve it yourself?
And if everyone makes money and catches monsters with low experience and reputation like quests
'I'll be able to make money and widen the gap.'
Having made his decision, Lokhan immediately went to the general store and bought a pen and paper. Then he started writing 'The Visitor's Guide'.
It didn't even have to be long. No, because I had to entrust the transcription, it was rather difficult if it was long.
"It is done."
The contents of the fake visitor's guide written by Lokhan were as follows.
1. If you catch a few monsters designated by Lokhan, 'rumors' will circulate in the city.
2. If you continue hunting after that, your reputation will rise and city residents will start giving you quests.
3. If you receive and carry out the quest, you can become a member of the city by receiving their recognition.
4. In order to properly use the main buildings of the city, this process is essential.
After all, they weren't wrong.
The only difference is that the monsters pointed out by Lokhan are the ones who make money and don't give reputation and experience, and you can't get 'recognized' with ordinary quests.
Of course, the heads of each race are also members of the Crossroads, so that's not entirely wrong either.
After completing it, Lokhan immediately entrusted the transcribing request.
It didn't take long for the garrison to make a large number of requests because there was a place where they were making requests and wanted flyers.
"Set up sales."
Rokan registered several bundles of 'Guide for Visitors' as items for sale in the vending machine. Once you hire a vendor, you can even sell stones that roll on the side of the road, depending on the employee's wishes.
And with a few flyers that I had printed together, I went out of the store.
"It will take a long time to go around the whole city."
It was a kind of flyer. It's a simple store promotion flyer to put on bulletin boards and empty walls in town.
Aside from everything, users would have no choice but to run with just two phrases, 'item trading with visitors' and 'selling guides for visitors'.
If they were attached at random, they could be forcibly removed or called to the garrison, but Rokhan had paid the fair price.
10 gold per month is by no means a small amount, but it doesn't matter. You'll get much more out of it than that.
In addition, once the rumors spread properly, there was no need for additional publicity for users who came later.
'It should be convenient to use the bulletin board, but... … .'
That way, you could have 'doubt'. However, if it is promoted in the form of a poster in the game, who can doubt that it is a user's store?
And thanks to that little misunderstanding, Lokhan would be much easier to maneuver in the future.
So until nightfall, Lokhan ran until his feet were sweaty, pasting promotional flyers all over the Crossroads.
When night finally came, I went to Baron Truel's villa with a tired body.
