C165 - Risky Transaction (2)
“Huh? The government is controlling access? But Galliant's government and the indigenous autonomous district have different administrative bodies, right? If we insist on going in, can't they do nothing about it?”
“Of course, that's true. It's just nominal control. But I think there must be some reason for such strict measures. Sorry if I said something unnecessary.”
“No, it's okay. We didn't know about it either. But our decision to go remains unchanged. Of course, if you, Jis, could guide us.”
“Of course! Who else if not this Jis for guiding?”
Jis, confidently thumping his chest, gasped in pain. It took a while for the pain to subside before he could continue.
“Well, anyway, I don’t know if I can walk around properly with my physical condition like this.”
“Don’t worry about that. Tomorrow, we’re going to visit the healing mage that Mr. Freeman introduced. Most external injuries can be treated there.”
“Wow, a healing mage? That must be incredibly expensive?”
As Jis widened his eyes in surprise, Amy looked at him sleepily and said.
“It’ll probably be cheaper than the guide fee you proposed.”
Jis scratched his head. That made him realize just how much he had tried to overcharge.
“Haha, why are you doing this all of a sudden? It’s all in the past.”
Shirone sunk into the soft sofa.
“Anyway, it’s best to rest today. Mental strength will recover after sleep, but Rian and Tess will be uncomfortable until they receive healing magic.”
“Huh? No, I’m fine. My wounds are already healed.”
At Tess'words, everyone in the group turned to look at her. Indeed, the cuts on her cheeks and arms had healed cleanly.
“Wow, how did you do that? Something similar to what Mr. Freeman did?”
“Yes. I chose Mitochondria for my second Schema.”
“Mitochondria?”
“It’s a cell organelle that produces energy. Using Mitochondria Schema, basic physical abilities such as agility, regeneration, and endurance increase dramatically. That’s why swordsmen without exceptional talent often choose mitochondria as their basic build. Probably kingdom soldiers and mercenaries use Mitochondria build a lot.”
“I see. But what's this about a second build and a basic build?”
Shirone, who had been lynched numerous times by swordsmen during the recent skirmish with the Parrot mercenaries, wanted to know more about schemas.
The nature of magical combat was certainly different. Unless they know what dangers there will be at the archaeological site in the future, it was better to collect as much combat-related information as possible.
“A build refers to a technique tree. People often say to imagine a virtual body when explaining a schema, but the actual learning sensation is different. It's like expanding clarity as the cells that make up the body awaken. So here’s the question. How do swordsmen overlap various builds?”
Amy and Lian knew the answer but didn't answer. They thought it best to let Tess, who had the deepest understanding of Schemas among them, explain.
