บท 12: I am Indeed Getting Stronger
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
As if the sudden brief silence didn't raise concerns, Riegel spoke to the stunned woman.
"No, no problem!"
Only then did the woman react; she quickly apologized and continued filling out Riegel's registration form.
However, whether it was an illusion or not, Riegel felt the woman's hands were much faster than before, speeding up the registration process.
The surrounding silence was once again filled with excitement, as if nothing had happened. But, if one listened carefully, voices discussing the situation could still be heard.
"Is he really a member of Familia Loki?"
"He just registered as an adventurer? Is he new?"
"Familia Loki has added a new member..."
"I'm worried he's an unusual guy."
"Humans don't seem to have outstanding racial talents. Could his personal talents be more prominent?"
"Who knows..."
Endless discussions flowed, some reaching Riegel's ears.
Riegel covered his ears.
After all, it wasn't surprising.
As one of the strongest Familias in Orario and one of the two rulers, Familia Loki is widely known in Orario and even worldwide; they are destined to be the center of attention wherever they go.
Now that he has taken the name of Familia Loki, it's natural for people around to talk about him.
Moreover, Riegel felt that in the near future, his presence might attract fans from various Familias.
The addition of a new member to Familia Loki is not a big or small matter; for those who pay attention to the movements of Familia Loki, it's worth gathering information.
Of course, they can only gather it up to this point, knowing that Familia Loki has a new member named "Riegel Brehaut."
As for specific information about Riegel, those people want to know; it's not that simple.
Shortly after completing the formalities, Riegel left the guild and returned to the street.
He didn't immediately leave the street but wandered around.
The street located in the northwest of Orario is known as Northwest Street because it is the headquarters of the guild that manages the city and oversees adventurers; people hanging out here are basically adventurers.
Thanks to this, Northwest Street seized this business opportunity and opened many shops for adventurers.
Shops specializing in selling weapons and armor.
Property shops specifically selling potent medicines and special equipment.
There are so many shops like these on Northwest Street that many adventurers are willing to stay here, earning it the nickname "Adventurer Street."
Due to Loki's instructions, Riegel still needs to buy weapons and armor, so there's no reason to leave immediately.
"One hundred thousand valis?"
Riegel is walking down the street, contemplating his initial capital burden.
"In Orario, one hundred thousand valis is not a small amount, but it doesn't seem like a large sum either."
Here, a serving of fried noodles might cost a few hundred valis, and a glass of ordinary wine rarely values more than a thousand valis. Whether this purchasing power is large or small is somewhat unclear.
"A bottle of ordinary potion used to restore physical strength is worth around a thousand valis, and a cheap standard dagger is most common, valued at around a few thousand valis. After calculating, it seems like one hundred thousand valis is indeed a lot."
But Riegel knows that for a truly strong adventurer, this hundred thousand valis might be no more than loose change between his fingers.
If nothing else, speaking of equipment equipped by top adventurers, none of them are less than a million valis, or even less than ten million valis.
For example, weapons, standard ordinary weapons each valued at a few thousand valis, and first-class weapons each valued in the tens or even hundreds of millions of valis.
"It seems like I can't afford to buy special weapons for now."
Riegel still regrets a bit.
Of course, just a bit.
Isn't it reasonable for a Level 1 newcomer not to afford special weapons?
Let alone those who are just at Level 1, even those who have reached Level 2 basically can't afford special weapons.
99% of the use of special weapons is concentrated at Level 3 and above.
It may take some time before Riegel wants to use special weapons with level and effects.
"Just buy ordinary products with better quality."
After realizing this reality, he starts visiting shops along the street.
Two hours later, he successfully gathers the equipment he needs.
First, he buys a sword worth twenty-four thousand valis.
The sword is a thin one-handed sword, relatively light with weak attack power, but it's fast, flexible, and easy to use. After comparing various weapons, Riegel finally chose it. It's the weapon that suits him the most and is the easiest to use.
In view of the trend of the growth of ability values that "Agility" and "Dexterity" are increasing, while "Strength" and "Endurance" are relatively growing less, proving that he's biased towards a more technical battle type.
Therefore, Riegel chose a light sword with fast attack speed, light weight, and long attack range as his main weapon to maximize speed.
In addition to the light sword, he also spends 11,000 valis to buy a short sword as a secondary weapon in case of emergencies.
As for his armor, because heavy armor will hinder his movement and reduce speed, Riegel finally chose leather body armor rather than metal armor with high defensive strength.
This leather armor is divided into inner armor that protects the upper body, armor that protects crucial joints like elbows and knees, and gloves and boots that focus on protecting hands and feet.
Among them, whether it's inner protection to protect the body or protection for joints, they are all lightweight protective gear that can be worn under clothes and don't need to be worn outside.
Because they are almost weightless and don't hinder movement, Riegel quite likes them and immediately wears this complete set of armor.
Especially gloves and boots; after fighting day and night, Riegel clearly knows how practical they are.
Because he didn't protect his hands and feet, he fought all day yesterday, and his hand that directly held the sword got scratched. A punch hitting a monster got injured at an unknown time, and he lost blood.
The same goes for the feet. If he ran with regular shoes in an environment like an dungeon, his feet would be skinned every minute. If it weren't for when he returned to the Familia yesterday, the seniors provided a way to quickly recover from injuries.
Added to the injuries suffered in the day and night battles, it can only be said that it's fortunate that there are magical potions with extraordinary effects. If not, Loki, who saw Riegel in a worse condition yesterday, probably wouldn't have let him go so easily.
This complete set of armor cost Riegel a total of 48,000 valis.
Including the cost of the main and additional weapons, Riegel spent 83,000 valis, leaving only 17,000 valis out of the 100,000 valis.
With this consumption rate and equipment at this price, honestly, a newly debuted Level 1 is definitely out of reach.
The total equipment for low-level adventurers at Level 1, even a veteran among them, might not exceed 30,000 valis, which is much worse than the quality of Riegel's equipment.
Riegel's equipment is almost reaching the Level 2 standard.
"Is this good?"
After preparing his equipment, Riegel finally couldn't resist any longer, heading to Babel Tower and entering the dungeon.
He couldn't wait any longer.
He was eager to try out his new weapon and test his current strength.
And the results were certainly satisfying.
"Hah!"
As the kobold, like a wild beast determined to bite, Riegel launched a bold attack as usual.
"Pfft!"
The silver bow sliced through the air, and when it was cut in front of the kobold's eyes, the kobold even maintained its flying posture, staying in the air. It didn't even have time to react at all, shocked by the light sword with a silver blade.
Its blood spilled, coloring the ground red, also staining the kobold's corpse that fell into a pool of blood red.
"So easy."
Riegel stood in front of the corpse, staring at his hands with surprise on his face.
"My speed has become very fast, and my strength is much greater than yesterday."
It's just that his basic abilities were raised by one or two levels; is the change that significant?
This made Riegel a bit surprised and a bit excited.
"I did become stronger."
After having this understanding, if Riegel didn't feel excited, then the effort and determination he had put in all this time would be in vain.
"Unfortunately. After I become stronger, enemies at this level won't be able to make me excited anymore."
Riegel looked at the kobold's corpse at his feet eagerly, and his expression changed to regret.
He still likes challenging and engaging opponents.
