Bab 41: Cap 41: Magic technology

When I woke up I see that the girls are still sleeping, this time at least they aren't sleeping in my bed.

With that I decide to meditate to integrate my levels, sit cross-legged on the hard bed, start to synchronize my breathing with my heartbeat, clear my mind and calm my emotions.

I tried to look inside myself and find the strange energy of EXP, this time it was a little more difficult as I could feel other forms of energy inside me.

One was the magical power I was used to, another energy emanated vitality and Vigor and ran throughout my body and the last energy seemed ethereal and deep, it emanated from my body but I was not able to identify where it came from.

I could also feel my Aura not just inside me but circling me.

With so many distractions it was difficult to continue the meditation, but little by little I got used to these strange energies and started to circulate EXP throughout my body through my bloodstream.

----------

It took over an hour this time, but it yielded results, not only did I integrate my levels, but I also leveled up some skills and acquired a new one.

Ding! Ding!

<[ Your skill leveled up [ Ki Sense: 1 > 2 ] ]>

<[ You have acquired a new skill:

• [ Spiritual sense: 1 ] ]>

When I finished meditating I open my eyes and see a beautiful girl with light green skin and purple hair changing clothes in front of me, when she has just changed she notices me and smiles at me saying in Goblin language.

"Good morning master, Ibuki was waiting for the master to wake up." (Ibuki)

"..." (me)

"Ibuki? Have you evolved?" (me)

"Ibuki evolved into master Hobgoblin, now I can be more useful to master." (Ibuki)

Ibuki happily tells about his evolution, and I realize that my luck is horrible, as if Kira wasn't enough yesterday, I see Ibuki has become a very attractive young woman too, I'm trying to keep my morals but everything is going against me.

Ibuki's height has increased from four feet to four feet, her ears have been greatly reduced and are only slightly larger than human but are still pointed, her nose has also decreased to normal human size, now she has the A teenager's height and seductive feminine curves, her breasts that didn't exist before have now grown enough to be noticeable now and her waist has grown a little also showing curves in her body that didn't exist before, she has become an extremely attractive teenager.

"(Where was this luck with women when I wanted a girlfriend in my old world? Huh?)" (me)

After internally crying at how unfair things are I talk to Ibuki.

"Where are the other Ibuki?" (me)

"Diana went home to check on the prisoner, meanwhile Érica and Kira are checking the bodies of the bad guys and seeing the treasure deposit." (Ibuki)

After evolving it seems that Ibuki has become more intelligent, his pronunciation and way of speaking have also improved a lot.

Well, I'll wait for the girls to finish their chores, I have good partners, they don't even need me to remember what needs to be done, they know what needs to be done.

While waiting for them I get up and start training my martial art to get used to my strength now that I've increased a few levels.

------------

In a few hours Diana returns, soon after Érica and Kira finish reviewing all the items and also return to the first room, after everyone is together I talk about today's plans which will be about taking everything from here to our house and everyone telling a little your stories to get to know us better.

"Before we start what we have to discuss, Tell me, Diana, about the prisoner." (me)

"I put him to sleep using the same drug we gave Kira yesterday, he should sleep until tomorrow master." (Diana)

"Nice job Diana." (me)

"What prisoner are you talking about master?" (Kira)

"The prisoner is your subordinate Vibora, and thanks to capturing him I found his base and found you far away." (me)

"That useless one, they were all just disposables, but Vibora I kept around because he's a spy from another country." (Kira)

"What?" (Érica)

"How can he be a spy being one of the most wanted criminals in the country?" (Érica)

"If he really is a spy, he's one of the worst." (Diana)

"You're wrong, he's one of the best, answer me one thing, when he was being interrogated he said everything about our group without even being tortured didn't he?" (Kira)

"Yes, all I did was scare him a little by talking about how I was going to torture him, but he told everything very quickly and seems to have agreed to death very quickly." (me)

"That's because he's a spy who came to this Realm to gather information from the Black Market and the Realm's criminal underworld, I already knew that before I invited him to join the group." (Kira)

"I just made him get together to gather information from his investigations too, of course, he didn't know I knew his true identity." (Kira)

"The reason he wants death is that just like most spies he is a slave, his slavery mark is on his head hidden by his hair, as such he cannot betray or harm his master, he is also incapable of commit suicide or get hurt for no reason." (Kira)

"I see, so that's why he didn't even try to beg for his own life." (me)

"Yes master, for him it would be much better to die quickly at the hands of a monster than to be tortured for days or weeks by the government if captured." (Kira)

"This could be an opportunity to get the information he knows." (me)

"As soon as we get back I'll interrogate him again." (me)

"With that settled, tell me what you found of Kira's treasure." (me)

"Master she has a lot of money, in total, she has one hundred and fifty gold coins, thirty thousand silver coins, and hundreds of jewels." (Érica)

The girls had already taught me about the economy of this world, which works like this.

1 crystal coin = 10,000 gold coins

1 gold coin = 1,000 silver coins

1 silver coin = 100 bronze coins

This economic system is global because these coins are impossible to counterfeit as they come from chests and dungeon monsters, they have the equal energy signature of a dungeon, other than that each country has its currency that can be used within the realm. which is used by national merchants and by the people in general.

Usually, only nobles, wealthy merchants, and adventurers use the global coins as they are called, as the quest rewards of the Adventurers Guild are using global coins, to have equal value in any branch of the guild.

Just for reference, a gold coin is enough for a middle-class family of four to live quietly for seven months.

So this sum of money is very large, it seems that Kira has been stealing a lot.

"The truth is that we had a lot more money in the country's currency, but I switched to global currencies even though I suffered a great loss so that I could use it in another Kingdom in case I needed to get away from this one." (Kira)

"What else have you discovered?" (me)

"I also found 10 regular swords, 17 daggers, 2 great swords, 4 wooden shields, 5 bows, 143 arrows and 3 magic staffs." (Erica)

"All this just from the weapons, about the armors there are 6 complete leather armors for women, 10 complete leather armors for men, 2 complete metal armors for men and 2 full mages' robes." (Érica)

"That's because I sold all the items that didn't have complete sets, I kept these waiting for good opportunities to sell at a higher price." (Kira)

"It also has many potions, it has 54 HP potions, 37 MP potions, 5 Ki potions, 8 detox potions and 80 liquid soaps." (Érica)

"..." (me)

"Did you say liquid soaps?" (me)

"Sorry master I forgot you're a Goblin, you shouldn't know what soap is, to simplify soaps are used in baths to clean you better and liquid soap is a magic potion that cleans the whole body and removes any dirt or mud even blood, it takes away even the odor, it can be used on equipment, clothes or on the body itself, it's something amazing." (Érica)

"We took the liquid soap from the house of a nobleman we were kidnapping, it's an ideal item to mask the smell and get rid of bloodstains." (Kira)

"We also have bar soap with scents that we stole from the same nobleman." (Kira)

"We also have some information crystals, most have stolen information but we have some empty ones, and we have four Reading Crystals as well." (Kira)

"Master, information crystals and reading crystals are very useful and popular magic items, the information crystal is a small two-inch crystal cube on all sides that can easily store information from some books and the reading crystal is a crystal a foot or two in height, eight inches in width and an inch in thickness more or less." (Érica)

"A read crystal has a small square hole where cubes of information crystals are inserted so they are magnetized so they don't get out of place by accident." (Érica)

"After entering the information appears in the reading crystal, where it can be read and edited, the two crystals work with magical energy that can be from the user or a magic core." (Érica)

"In cities with mages' Guild, it is possible to access information using link crystals that connect someone's reading crystal with the guild's information crystal for reading, of course, the access has different levels that are controlled by the link crystal used that the own mages' guild produces." (Érica)

"People have no right to use the information from the Mages Guild, but the information and reading crystals are still used in many jobs and make life much easier for everyone." (Erica)

She just described a Tablet, a pen-drive, and a wireless network, it seems this world is not as primitive as I thought.
