When I got home Ferin looked at me weirdly. Children of influenced persons tend to have nice clothes. So seeing his younger brother in a poorer style of clothing is a new thing. I walk pasted him not caring what he thinks. I just got a new book to read. So I hurried into my room and sat at my desk.
I took the book of combat out of my mail system and finally manifested it. The book is called The Art of War. I haven't heard of this book before. Well, I haven't heard of a lot of books before. Books are uncommon in this world.
We do have paper and you can easily print them. If you have the ink. We use ink from berries because that is the only ink we can come up with. This ink on the page seems different. It is thicker than our ink.
When I opened the book it talked about a nation that I can't seem to pronounce. If you ask me this book seems fictional. It does seem to be correct in the way of doing things. It was a hard book to get through. I don't understand it. So when I got to the end I felt unsatisfied.
When closing the book a message appeared in my head.
Imperial Spirit F - Those under your protection boost your stats. Let the spirit of imperialism fill your soul and more power will be given to you.
I have never heard of a skill like that. Is that all it has to describe itself? What does it mean to have people under your protection? 6000 Sin Points for this is crazy. Why would a skill not tell me in detail what it does? It just powers me up? Lame power if you ask me.
It seems like I got a new skill but I don't feel anything from it. I wonder if this book would be better for Lafker. It seems like he won't get a skill because I got a skill. Maybe it would help him in some way.
I went to bed after reading the book. I figured it wouldn't hurt to give it one more try. One more try for understanding the book. I failed. I still don't get it so I will just give it to Lafker. What I need to do now is get ready to kill more goblins.
I need 1000 more killed to upgrade my demon blade skill. I have nothing better to do now that my date with Luna is over. I also rested enough from fighting monsters soo time to slay some goblins.
I went to the guild to see if they have any quests for them. They seem to have a lot more than I remembered. Wait I see people taking these quests. Adventures above the rank D never take goblin quests. Now I am curious.
I go to the glasses girl that seems friendly with Luna. She seems annoyed at me for walking up but after seeing me her mood changed.
"Oh, my! I can't believe it is Sephker. How was the date yesterday!" She said with a smile. Wait did she know about the date?
"Um, uh, I am surprised you knew about that," I said nervously. How did she know about the date? Is she her best friend or something?
"I am called Laila. I am Luna's bestfriend. She tells me everything cutie-pie. I know I look young but I am the same age as Luna. 19 years of age I am in my prime." She said while holding her not-so-modest chest puffed out.
"I see. You don't need to hold it. People can see you um." I tried to finish my sentence but Laila finished my sentence.
She creepily spoke and said. "I know what you think of boobs and butts. You call them assets right? Women are more than boobs and butts. Dumb men." She said while crossing her arms.
