CH.428 The Weapons Competition, part 5
With yesterday’s madness now behind us, it was ti for the weapon auction.
By the way, because of what happened yesterday, we ended up moving away from the inn we had been staying at and instead spent the night in Claus’ house. He was nice enough to offer us a place to stay, which had a bit more security.
The best part was that he let trap this place as much as I wanted, so Trap Holes of different kinds were set up all across the yard. And with them only reacting to hostile presences, we don’t have to worry about them trapping anyone they aren’t supposed to trap. I’ll just remove them all before we leave and we will be golden.

The traps actually ended up being needed, because a small group did break, well tried to break, into the house, but they were left in the bottom of my Trap Holes, either stuck in Adhesion Trap Hole or with broken legs in the standard ones. No deaths, so I didn’t have to worry about resurrecting them. Not that I likely would have, even if soone did die.
I’m not resurrecting a thief. There is a line I draw sowhere. The group wasn’t forced to attack. They just thought they could steal so weapons from us.
Had it been a situation like with Rin where she was forced to act the way she did because of the slave mark, then yes I’d resurrect a thief, but soone who just wants to steal because of money, nope. That isn’t my problem to fix.
And no, they weren’t from the States. Based on what we got out of them after they were turned into slaves. They were just after so easy money, which didn’t end up being that easy.
Also, in case you were wondering, I didn’t use Bottomless or Acid Trap Holes because the chance of them killing soone was just a bit too high. And I also employed A-Team: Trap Disposal Unit when I removed the leftover traps.

The blood iron sword also sold for a good price, which was way higher than I assud it would be. I think that might be because of the spirits. People think it is more valuable than it really is because Lachros rolled back the ti on the sword.
But it isn’t my problem how people spend their money.
… also, because I know soone might ask, Wilma ended up buying nine weapons from the auction.
Before our return ho, I gave Claus a letter exchange box so that he could send letters to Wilma.
I also left one for Stina so she could get in contact when she was ready to move to HoBase.
Once back on HoBase, I recapped everyone on what happened. This was mainly necessary for Alice, as she still has her long term System mission of dealing with the old slave marks, which is getting us more and more tangled with the United States.
Of course introducing Rin and getting her settled in was also a thing, but luckily I have enough workers where that isn’t really a major problem. The only real problem we had was her being a bit scared of dhampirs, since we still had the learning group here.
Rin’s current position on HoBase was assisting either Cailie on the CropFields or Wilma and Karl in the Workshop. Those were what Rin felt the most comfortable with.
That is because of her past. She of course was forced to work as an assistant to Hugo, so she knew a bit about working in a smithy, while her farming experience cos from the ti before she was forced into slavery.
But she is also learning new things, so she may change positions at so point.
Other than Rin and her job, we also took stock of our status.
Starting with Alice.

Alice also got the Designing skill. Sure it is only level 1, but she got it. The more important part is the Advanced Mana Control. With all the bathing she has done in the mana spring, she has finally been able to advance her mana circuits to the point where she can get the skill.
… and as you may have guessed, the sa happened to Lua.

Like Alice, Lua also got the LV.1 Designing skill. Really shows how effective having a 3D design table is. Other than that, her levels are largely focused on her racial skills and Winged Flight. She has been using them a lot teaching the dhampirs.

Wilma originally got Designing as a LV.6 skill, but she quickly used one Level Up on it to get it to LV.7, and with that, she also got ntal Visual Designing.
Other than that, she has her reward for winning the competition, Knowledge of Legendary tals. It gives her access to System information about the greatest tals and how you can make them, or where you can find them. It honestly is a huge reward, so we are living the dream with that.
Next, Karl.

Karl naturally also got Designing. At LV.4, which isn’t as high as what Wilma or I got, but it is still good.
Otherwise, his level ups to Crafting and Mana Control are there to hopefully help him with tal Magic.
But there is one more person whose status had so interesting developnts. … myself.

I managed to snag myself two new skills. Fast Mana Recovery is sothing I’ve been waiting on for a while, and now I finally got it. Sure it isn’t really necessary, but more skills ans more stats and more stats ans I’m more powerful.
The more interesting thing is Mana Vision. It is basically what I did when I saw Rin’s slave mark through her clothing, but the skill is way more impressive than just being able to see magic circles. With it, I can see through most things as long as I focus so mana into my eyes, and as long as whatever I’m looking at has mana. Sure for now I can just see random outlines, unless magic circles are involved, but that is already good. And with levels, I should be able to see just as well as I do with my regular eyes.
