Inside the inn room.
Imina's small lips moved as she expressionlessly tore at the white bread. Even after hearing Minori guess that she had bought the inn, her expression remained unchanged.
Drip, drip!
Rainwater from outside the window fell on the windowsill, making a rustling sound.
Seeing that Imina didn't speak, Minori smiled gently, picked up a spoon, and drank the vegetable soup on the table. The room fell silent again.
The atmosphere wasn't tense, but rather peaceful.
Imina stuffed the last bite of white bread into her mouth, the purple hair on her forehead slightly raised, and said with some disgust, "You've caused quite a stir along the way, sir."
"I heard you were attacked by quite a few adventurers and mercenaries?"
Speaking of this.
Imina crossed her arms in front of her chest, and her amber eyes quickly scanned Minori. Seeing that he didn't have any injuries, she raised her chin.
"Did the news reach the royal capital? What's the specific situation?" Minori's eyes flashed, and he ignored the faint confrontation in Imina's tone.
After all, letting her stay in the royal capital for so long, and still dealing with an organization like "Eight Fingers", it's normal for her to have some displeasure and resentment.
Imina rolled her eyes at Minori, and a hint of worry appeared in her narrow, somewhat fierce eyes: "You didn't hide your route, and you caused such a big commotion."
"Seven 'Gold-ranked' adventurer teams, five 'Platinum-ranked' adventurer teams, and one 'Mithril-ranked' adventurer team."
"The famous mercenary organization 'Death Spreading Brigade' with seventy people, and a mysterious assassin force."
"So many people all died in your hands. Currently, other than the 'Sword Genius' Brian Unglaus, who escaped from your hands, no one survived."
Imina leaned forward, her beautiful eyes staring at Minori: "Sir, do you think this commotion is big? You just entered the royal capital, and all parties here already know."
Minori was a little dumbfounded: "So many people died?"
There were indeed many attacks along the way, but they were all relatively scattered. The Verdant Witch could easily solve them alone, so Minori didn't really pay much attention.
He only paid attention during the "Death Spreading Brigade", and that was because of Brian Unglaus.
Thinking carefully.
The number of people eyeing the Empire's bounty is probably even greater, but those who were solved by Minori were not weak. The rest of the group were just too scared to act.
"I've already found out Brian's location. Do you want me to send someone to kill him?" A cold light flashed on Imina's face, and she spoke softly.
Brian Unglaus has a very big reputation. It is said that he has a good relationship with the "Warrior Captain" Gazef Stronoff. She is worried that the escaped Brian will bring trouble to Minori.
Minori looked at Imina in surprise, surprised that she could find out Brian's location.
From this point, it can be seen that Imina can already mobilize the power of "Eight Fingers".
Minori shook his head: "No need, he is more valuable alive than dead."
"How is the situation with 'Eight Fingers'?"
"With the strength you showed before, 'Phantom Demon' Succulent is very cooperative. The entire Security Department is completely under control."
Imina's face was confident. Her own strength is not weak, and with Minori, this hidden powerhouse, it is not difficult to subdue the rest of them:
"I have also contacted the other department heads. Because of the death of 'Fighting Demon' Zero, 'Eight Fingers' held a collective meeting for this."
Speaking of this,
Imina's tone became a little more serious: "In addition to the eight department heads, there was also a mysterious person presiding over the entire meeting."
"The specific identity of the other party is unknown. Only a few department heads should know. In addition, the departments are almost independent, and it is more troublesome to control the other departments than expected."
After listening to Imina's description of more detailed information about "Eight Fingers", Minori's face did not show any surprise.
He already knew something about the situation of "Eight Fingers", and besides, it is impossible for such a large organization to not have other forces supporting it in secret.
"Controlling these departments is not in a hurry. As long as you hold the important department of 'Security Department' in your hands, you can have some control over the entire 'Eight Fingers'."
Minori put the spoon in his hand into the bowl, smiled softly, and then said:
"Next, there are a few things you need to do."
"Speak, what a hard life." Imina pouted, but a smile appeared in her eyes.
"The first thing is to secretly recruit magic casters in the name of your 'Security Department' to supplement the incomplete 'Six Arms'."
"In fact, I need you to specifically look for magic casters who have mastered faith-based, mental-based, and other types of occupations."
Imina was a little dazed, not knowing why Minori was doing this, but she still nodded.
Speaking of which.
Are magic casters divided into so many different systems?
"The second thing is to purchase several slaves with the ability of 'Wild Transformation' through the 'Slave Trade Department'. There should not be many humans who have mastered this method."
"Demi-humans are easier to master, especially some slaves captured from the demi-human tribes destroyed by the Slane Theocracy. The slave department should have such channels."
Minori said here and glanced at Imina.
What he actually wanted to say was that those elf slaves captured from the Elf Kingdom by the Slane Theocracy were more likely to master this skill.
However, Imina is a half-elf after all, so he changed it to demi-humans when the words came to his mouth.
Imina's expression did not change, and she nodded.
"The third thing is, I need to buy several large warehouses in the territories of each of the six great nobles. Contact grain merchants in various places and transport all the unsellable moldy grains and some rotten food to the warehouses."
"These things can be arranged for people to do with the help of the 'Smuggling Force'."
Imina continued to nod, but she became more and more puzzled. There was no connection between these three things at all, but looking at Minori's appearance.
Each thing is obviously a big move.
At the same time, Imina felt a little excited and happy.
She and Leinas stayed in the royal capital together, but the two situations were completely different. Leinas obviously had Minori's various arrangements and plans.
And she, in addition to controlling a security department, seemed to have been completely forgotten by Minori until now. There was no action for several months.
Now.
Imina finally knew what she should do.
"Sorry for the trouble, Imina."
"These things are more troublesome than the last." Imina muttered, her slender figure already stood up, and two purple curved pigtails shook gently.
"By the way, this is for you."
"These things will cost a lot of money. Except for the first thing, don't use the money from Eight Fingers for the remaining two things."
Minori picked up a magic pouch from his waist and threw it to Imina: "There are gems inside. If you like, you can choose a few."
Imina reached out and took the magic pouch, and her verdant white fingers pulled open the mouth of the leather strap. A faint red light emerged from the magic leather strap.
"This is…"
Imina couldn't help but widen her eyes.
The magic pouch was full of various gems, mostly red gems, and several gems were shimmering with magical light.
Obviously, they were precious magic gems containing magic power.
Seeing Imina's surprised and unblinking look, Minori smiled softly.
Sure enough, women always like shiny things, just like dragons.
These gems are naturally the relics of the ancient red dragon.
During Minori's journey to the royal capital, he would return to the lava area at night and spent a lot of time finally finding the ancient red dragon's lair.
It was piled up with a lot of treasure, the specific value.
Minori couldn't calculate it. The cave was mainly filled with various gems, special red ore, and gold coins, but unfortunately, there wasn't even a single magic item, which disappointed him.
Various gems and ores are difficult to estimate the value, and so are a large number of gold coins.
Because the ancient red dragon seemed to like lying on those gold coins and gems to sleep, almost all the gold coins were melted by the high temperature and turned into small gold mountains piled together.
"You said that." A smile appeared on Imina's face. She put away the magic pouch and just stepped forward when she suddenly remembered something, squinted her eyes and turned her head:
"By the way, who are the two girls who are with you? According to the news I heard, they seem to have joined your adventurer team?"
She and Leinas had both thought about joining Minori's adventurer team, but this guy rejected them.
"Want to meet them?" Minori shrugged and then said: "I said, my adventurer team doesn't recruit people."
Hearing this answer.
A satisfied look flashed in Imina's eyes. She raised an arm and waved it: "Never mind."
"Give me your hand." Minori suddenly said.
"Ah?" Imina was stunned.
Minori directly stretched out his arm and grabbed Imina's palm.
A little soft and a little cold.
Minori's mind flashed with this thought, and a faint white light appeared on his palm, leaving a magic mark on Imina's body, and then released his palm.
"You, what are you doing."
Imina's delicate cheeks flushed red, and she subconsciously took a step back, her voice a little nervous and stuttering.
"It's nothing, a small magic spell. If something happens, I can find you more easily." Minori said calmly and softly.
"Humph."
Imina snorted softly, and her figure had already come to the window. She put on her raincoat again, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the rain and fog.
"Really, why go through the window?"
Minori complained, then a thoughtful look appeared on his face, considering what to do next.
The three things he asked Imina to do are all very important. Since he has money in his hand and the "Eight Fingers" forces that can be manipulated.
Why not use them!
Even if someone with ulterior motives notices, they will only check on "Eight Fingers", even if the internal forces of Eight Fingers investigate.
These three unrelated things can't be linked at all. At most, they will suspect that it is Imina's backer - that powerful magic caster who manipulates corpses and bone dragons.
As for him, this genius alchemist who can summon angels, of course, it's completely unrelated.
If these three things are divided into priorities, the first one is the most important.
The second thing is mainly for Minori to experiment with the magic ritual he obtained from 'Forest Gnome' Dugan.
The purpose of the third thing is to provide food for the goblins raised in the Tob Forest. After all, the more goblins there are, the greater the impact on the Tob Forest.
Minori doesn't intend to let people notice the situation in the Tob Forest, so he can only get food from the outside to provide to those raised goblins.
And the first thing is also the one he cares about most!
...
Magic System: Apothecary, Alchemist, Magician, Necromancer, Warlock
Priest System: Priestess, Priest, Forest Priest, Priest
Mental System: Wizard, Witch
Other Systems: Shaman, Summoner
...
This is the number of occupations in each magic system that he currently has.
Obtaining the [Mad Mage] occupation at the beginning satisfied the prerequisite conditions for the basic occupations of each system:
Magic System · 15Lv Faith System · 15Lv Mental System · 15Lv Other Systems · 15Lv
A total of 60 levels of occupation level conditions.
Minori previously speculated that if the occupation of each magic system reached level 20, a total of 80 levels of occupation levels, would it be possible to trigger a new high-level occupation.
The reason for this deduction.
Is because if there is a second related high-level occupation, then [Unknown High-Level Occupation] + [Mad Mage] will occupy ten occupation levels.
The remaining 90 levels are divided into four magic occupation systems, only 22.5 levels.
Obviously, level 20 is the most reasonable, at least it is more reasonable in the game.
Result.
The current four magic occupation systems are superimposed and have already met the level 20 conditions, but they have not obtained a new occupation.
While Minori was disappointed, a crazy idea suddenly popped into his mind. The possibility that does not exist in the game does not mean that it does not exist in the other world.
If the four occupation systems are raised to the tenth level and "64~70Lv", will it be possible to obtain a new occupation?
This is a situation that is completely impossible in the game!
If it weren't for the [Genius] occupation unique to the other world, then neither the game nor the other world would have anyone who could raise the four magic occupation systems to the tenth level of magic!
"I have to try it once. Even if I don't get a new occupation, raising the four occupation systems to the tenth level is also in the plan."
Minori tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes flickering.
