He administered one HP Regeneration potion to Ragnarock as he didn't consider him to be evil and had to know more about he ca to own this weapon.
He examined to see if there were any remains of the weapon's energy on his body, and he found so but destroyed it quickly by using a bit of Light Elent Mana.
Ragnarock awoke, and the wound he had gotten from Shingi's attack was almost completely closed healed.
"What... what happened? Where is Zarn?"[Ragnarock]
"You should stay calm. Your weapon took control over you and I had to render you unconscious. It is a dangerous one, and you shouldn't use it anymore, or next ti it may control you forever."[Shingi]
Ragnarock starred him a bit and then seed to co to a realization.
"You saw how cool it is, and you want it for yourself, don't you? I am sorry, but this belongs to my Clan, and I like Zarn. So give it back NOW."[Ragnarock]
Shingi could quickly run away, but he considered Ragnarock to be helpful to train Wild Tycoon.
"Listen to , Ragnarock, I know that this weapon is a strong one, but it isn't worth the risk of keep using it. I can help you, though, to get rid of the danger without destroying the weapon; you just have to trust ."[Shingi]
================================
Because of overuse, CHA has been set to 0 temporary for 36 hours.
================================
Ragnarock cald down as the notification appeared and nodded to show his agreent.
Shingi didn't expect it to happen, but he was glad it did, although his CHA at 0 had its disadvantages. The biggest one was his MINOR MANA REGENERATION being weaker, almost nonexistent.
"I need to et so people first before I deal with it. But you can et in Carda. It is a village of a little than two weeks from here."[Shingi]
"I know where it is. Was its champion there too in the past. But why can't I just co with you?"[Ragnarock]
Shingi was in a hurry, and even if Ragnarock seed to be sowhat agile during their combat, Shingi could tell that it was a temporary boost.
"Where I am heading is to et people who need their privacy, so won't like a crowd to co at them. You can help deliver a few things there to a friend of mine in the town. I am guessing you have so space at your back."[Shingi]
"More than a bit of space."[Ragnarock]
His bag was similar to Shingi's Spatial Ring and was easier to make, so it was more common for one to have it.
Shingi brought out a few of the materials he had stored in his Ring but didn't let Ragnarock know that it was the ones that were the least useful.
He may put so trust in him a bit, but he wasn't blindly trusting him yet.
Ragnarock agreed to help, especially after Shingi also gave him one special bottle with spirit in it.
Ragnarock wasn't a specialist at alcohol, even if he was a fan of it, but he could understand just by the sll of it that this was a pretty good one.
They went back to the part of the cave where the two bears were, and Ragnarock explained the situation.
"Finally, soone put so sense in your thick head."[Winestone]
"What are you talking about?"[Ragnarock]
"I told you since day one that this axe was slling funny. But no, 'Zarn is cool.' Dude was sucking others to make you stronger."[Winestone]
Ragnarock wasn't sure what to say about this.
The weapon could absorb part of the STR of an opponent he hit with it and increase the STR of its user.
"May I ask you sothing, Winestone? How did you get the ability to speak? I see your mother can't do so, but I can see two types of mana in you but at different places."[Shingi]
Winestone looked at him with an obviously confused bear face.
"I don't know what this mana that you are talking about is, but I was able to talk thanks to a dude called Philemon. He seed like a great dude at the ti, but now I just think he is ok."[Winestone]
Shingi didn't expect this na to be ntioned.
"Yeah, and so other past pals saved the world for like the millionth ti by helping him keeping sealed so evil guys at his place. Heard he is a Defender."[Ragnarock]
Winestone sighed at the explanation of Ragnarock and was ready to correct him but decided no to at the end.
Philemon was the na of one of the Protectors. He was the one for whom there were rumors to have suddenly vanished, even if all of them weren't making many public appearances.
He used to be around a lot as he used to be a type of entertainer and compose many songs and use the music as part of his magic, but he suddenly one day disappeared.
Shingi could tell that Ragnarock was overselling himself about his past and probably that calling Philemon with the wrong title was why Winestone sighed.
"So I guess we are going back ho. Do you think your mother is still there?"[Winestone]
"Oh yeah, I forgot that you used to live there. It's been so long since I found you, and we started our crazy adventures."[Ragnarock]
He seed to have gotten sowhat nostalgic at that mont.
"I doubt mom is still around. She probably moved with Scarlet."[Ragnarock]
Shingi was interested to learn more, but he didn't have much ti to spend, even if he had saved so by getting the help of Jax and having Ragnarock deliver so for him.
He told his goodbyes for now as he would et them in a few days again back to Carda.
He was heading actually to the nearby town as he was interested in investigating it.
Delta City wasn't too far from the cave as he had reached it within the hour.
It didn't have a wall around it, but he detected so alarm runes and a particular field surrounding the whole town that he knew was to act as a repellant for so monsters.
He slowed down when in reach of the alarm runes as there didn't seem to be a space to pass without enabling one.
He detected a few hidden guards watching him a little ti after enabling so, but he acted like he didn't notice them.
They kept an eye on him as a stranger in the town but wouldn't act unless he gave them a reason.
As he moved deeper into the town, he noticed the air getting clearer and less swamp-like. It was part of the field's effect, and Shingi knew that this wasn't a cheap thing to do.
Fields like that would spend even high-quality Mana Gems in a matter of days, making it rare for people to choose to have or add more functions to it as it would increase its cost. Most were going for just the repellant effect as having the town attacked by monsters wasn't good for business.
He noticed a few stands and shops around, and most seed to be Scroll or regular book-related.
There even was a shop with the latest copies of novels, mangas, and other types of literature from the real world for people to buy. The shop mainly was selling to Blessed Ones, but a few nobles were interested in those crazy stories.
Many other companies tried to bring their business or products into the ga, so it wasn't that unusual to find things from the real world in the ga, but there were so limitations to ss with the ga's the or its balance.
Shingi looked around and found so high-quality Spell Scrolls that he bought, mainly for Mizuneko to study them.
He had quite a bit of coin with him but not enough to buy every high-quality Spell Scroll there, so he chose ones of different Spell types.
He also searched books for Arcane Words and found one more advanced than what Anetta gave him and seed to have things he didn't know.
He bought it even if he had to spend most of his coins.
There were more than he could buy, and the coins he had weren't limitless.
He bought a few more advanced recipes for Hineko and stopped spending more as he had now just enough for replenishing so of his supplies.
He couldn't keep fresh food on his Ring for an extended period and eating simple rations didn't help maintain a balanced diet. It would affect his body in the long run, especially since he usually was skipping als.
He found a simple Inn also to get a al for the day and a room as he planned to look around the town more for the next ti he ca.
The innkeeper and owner were a Player and one who seed excited to t new people and travelers.
Especially seeing a young man like Shingi drew his attention and was bombarding him with questions.
Shingi answered a few but ignored most of them.
"You should not make any plan for the night, lad. We are going to have special entertainnt today so you wouldn't want to miss it. I am sure especially a young one as you will enjoy it."[Innkeeper]
Shingi doubted that it would be as exciting as he was telling, but he didn't have any plans for the rest of the day.
He decided to take a break from training as overworking wasn't always good for his body.
Looking around, Shingi noticed that there weren't any NPCs other than a few that worked at the inn. Even on the way there, he saw that most were Player's businesses, and only so stands were of NPCs.
Since the town was in the middle of a swamp and was also near a permanent Dungeon of a little higher level than the one of Carda, NPCs didn't seem interested to travel here.
He had so simple al as he waited for the night to co, and the unique entertainnt ntioned to start.
More people started to gather as it was getting later, as most seed to had co here for this special event.
There was a raised platform at one of the corners of the establishnt. The tables were placed in a way so that each to have the platform at its sight.
At a point, the music played by a few people working for the inn stopped as the light of the inn was turned off.
A lone candle appeared at the platform hovering in the air just less than a ter high from the platform.
Then a second candle appeared as so music started playing.
A figure appeared like a mirage and was holding the two candles.
The figure was of a female figure and seed to barely be dressed with what looked like a real-world nurse outfit.
Another figure appeared wearing a similar outfit, and more started appearing as at the end there were six female figures.
The music was quite sexy, and so Players were whistling to the entertainers.
Shingi sighed as he understood what the innkeeper referred to as special entertainnt and was ready to head to his room as he was interested in it.
But then he noticed among the crowd of people, who went under the platform to admire the sights closer, that drew his attention.
The figure wasn't joining the crowd as an admirer of the entertainers but to pick the pockets of the ones who were too busy to notice.
Shingi recognized him even if he tried to hide his moves.
His in-ga na was Price, and he was one of the Blessed One he had started helping before dying.
He let him continue his work and followed him when Price made his way out.
