"It shouldn't take them long to catch up with us," Ryan said as he surveyed a house at the entrance to the village. The place did not appear to be a domestic residence, but rather a garrison of sorts, where soldiers took turns collecting taxes and protecting the place.
<Do you have an inventory?> Nyx said, as she helped Ryan go through the backpacks of the former soldiers in that village.
"I don't, I need to buy a skill like this, to be honest," he said.
Ryan then turned around and started to laugh as he looked at the succubus. She no longer had a sad face, in fact, she had a giant smug smile on her face. In her hand was a merchant's bag.
------------
[Merchant's Bag]
- Since merchants need to travel to all corners of the continent, it is important to have a place to store as many items as possible. Merchant bags are magic items of great value, with the ability to hold a large number of items.
- These magic items work with inner-world magic and can be evolved by an advanced-level mage
------------
That bag looked a bit like a letter carrier's single-strap bag. Its color was completely black, with dark metal trim. It was an item that surprisingly had not lost its style over time.
"I mean, thanks for the drip Nyx" Ryan said, as he put the strap of the bag on his shoulder.
A window in his system appeared, all thanks to the help of Nyx who was controlling and handling the bag to make it easier to use.
"There's nothing interesting," Ryan said, as he rummaged through the items inside the bag. There were a few mana crystals and four healing potions, some silver coins, and some bread.
Still, the capacity of that item was good. It wasn't the best, but it was sufficient. With that, Ryan continued rummaging through the equipment in the place. On the first floor, there was nothing else of interest, just simple swords, bows, and arrows. However, as Ryan climbed the stairs, he found something that was worth his attention.
"Do you know what is written on that sign?" Ryan said, as he pointed to a golden plate in front of a rough wooden door.
<Officer's Room> Nyx said, at the same instant, the two exchanged glances.
Both Ryan and Nyx were smugly grinning, they knew that place was what they were looking for.
Opening the door, Ryan found himself in a small room, there was a couch in front of a wooden table. With two bookshelves and a mountain bear rug, it was a simple room. There, a few centuries ago, was where the Village Officer would check documents and release merchants. Next to the bookshelves was a sort of chest.
Ryan knelt down and with difficulty, tried to open it, but it was locked.
"Why dont yo- Nevermind..." Nyx said. She was trying to give Ryan an idea, but he had already found a much better solution.
Ryan used 'Blazing Aura'
------------
[Blazing Aura]
- This is a basic fire skill. The caster is given the ability to transform part of his mana into controllable flames, the quantity, and quality of the flames' power varies with the level of the skill and the quality of the user's elemental mastery.
------------
The young man's fingers began to glow with a warm color as he stuck his hand into the middle of the trunk lock. During the use of Blazing aura, the perception of heat by the area that is releasing energy is practically nil. So Ryan's hand was not getting hurt, even though he was touching molten iron.
Thus, the chest opened. Inside the chest was a two-handed sword, the handle of the sword was golden and had some black leather wrapped around it. The blade on the other hand was completely made of a kind of silver metal, behind the sword there were several documents, but nothing that was very interesting.
Next to the sword were three potion bottles and a crystal pendant.
"This one looks like a mana potion to me, this one a stamina potion and... Nyx do you know what's in that green bottle?" Ryan questioned, visibly confused.
<It looks like superior rabbit urine to me. It's common to rub it on leather boots to keep monsters from getting close>
After hearing this, Ryan slowly returned the green potion to the chest.
Then Ryan took out his sword and began to do some testing. Swinging the blade from side to side, he noticed how the weight of it was somewhat balanced. The sword was not perfect, and it was evident that it already had some wear and tear, but most likely this was the best weapon he could have at the moment.
"If this is the Chief border guard sword, there's probably not really a better one in this village" Ryan said as he evaluated the blade of the sword.
<I mean, maybe we can check in the other areas?>
"It's already a W to have a blade, I need to kill some monsters before running away. I'll get in trouble if the guild finds me" Ryan said, as he left the room.
Just as Ryan started down the stairs, he heard a strange noise echoing from outside the house. It was a roar.
*WUUUUURYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA* The sound resembled some sort of a dog's scream mixed with a gorilla.
"Lupis Kobolds!" he said excitedly, as he walked down the stairs as fast as he could.
Lupis Kobolds were a kind of bipedal monster that looked like a kobold and a werewolf, they were creatures that usually live in snowy mountains.
Ryan left that house already with a great bloodlust. Watching the street that continued up into the village, he realized that it was now filled with those creatures. The moment those monsters spotted Ryan, they ran toward the young man with the intent of finishing him off.
As much as it was his first experience dueling with real creatures, he already had a giant smile on his face. Advancing toward the creatures, as his eyes glowed in a darker red color, Ryan said.
"Finally."
