62 62 – One of the Half
Elise swung her sword from the bottom to the top while jumping. Her moves are perfect because she’s been practicing for a long time. However, when landing, she always staggers. The movement can be up to 15 feet high.
Sweating and breathing heavily, the female warrior came up to me. “I think my training is sufficient, sir. I can do missions again.”
“I know you really want to go down soon,” I answered while holding the cloth from the goddess of nature. “You’d better practice jumping from the top of the pillars first until you can make a proper landing. I want you to really land well. It turned out to be very important.”
Without answering me, Elise came to one of the pillars and climbed it. I can see her expression is now full of determination, and I hope it will positively affect her future missions.
I heard quite a loud thud as I examined the cloth given by the Goddes of nature. The female warrior didn’t scream in pain. Maybe the armor was enough to absorb the impact.
While Elise continued to practice, I started to move my palm across the surface of the green cloth. The material is very soft, light, thin, but not transparent. Maybe it would be more suitable for a dress rather than battle armor. However, with the C- attribute, it would be a pity if this cloth was made into a party dress. Maybe I should use it as a battle outfit for a character with high speed, such as a rogue or ninja.
However, there are two problems. First, it would be difficult to ask Osiris to find a soul that fits my criteria: Attractive enough and has stats that focus on speed. Then the second problem is that I can’t afford to make an outfit with this fabric. I’ve heard from Anja to process such high-grade materials is very expensive. The clothing goddess had to use special techniques and could not delegate the task to her servants. She had to do it herself.
Unfortunately, I ran out of money to pay my debt to Anja.
The communication icon in my user interface lights up and rings. I raised an eyebrow when I saw the name ‘Levi’ above the icon.
“Hey, Raymund.” A man’s voice was heard after I pressed the icon. “You already know who I am, right?”
“Yes, sir,” I answered. “You are one of the two gods in charge of all the gods and goddesses in Levidna. You are one of the representation of the Land of Levidna itself.”
“Drop the sir.” Levi uses a friendly tone. Sorry, I can only contact you now. Well, I’m happy to have a long conversation with you. Unfortunately, I don’t have much time. Taking care of that many gods is a hectic job.”
“No problem.” I’m still looking at the cloth that the goddess of nature gave me, trying to find a solution. “I’m so glad you wanted to contact me.”
Levi sighed. “Straight to the point. Soon you will meet Osiris again. He will bring you a new servant. I just wanted to remind you not to talk about anything about our realm to Osiris.”
“Ah, I promise I wouldn’t do that.” I smiled, though I didn’t know if Levi could see me or not.
“I did agree to cooperate with the gods of the earth. Even before the first Raymund died.” Levi sighed a second time. “However, I don’t feel like I can trust them yet…. Ah, I have to end this call now. Bye!”
I didn’t have time to answer when Levi ended the call. “Alright, Boss…”
The thumping sound of Elise jumping off the pillar entered my ears again. I used the fast-forward feature, making Elise’s movement speed up tens of times. The woman stopped to rest or sleep every now and then before finally doing the jump again.
I have to admit, her determination is extraordinary.
“Oh!” I stopped the fast-forward feature when she made a good landing. She does the signature superhero pose: crouching with her legs apart, one knee and one fist touching the ground. “Do it one more time, Elise!”
She’s so cool, badass, and sexy in that pose!
Elise complied to make the landing again. Even several times she did it, she never failed.
“Okay, you are ready for the next mission!” I don’t know why I’m so excited about it.
“Err…. Maybe I’ll take a little rest, sir.” Holding her knees together, Elise spoke with a shaky breath.
“Ah, take your time.” I shrugged. Come to think of it, that woman’s condition was indeed very miserable. “I will choose a suitable mission for you.”
As usual, I moved near the pond decorated with three quest tabs. However, before choosing one, I decided to contact Anja again.
“Sorry, sir! Elise is going to the next mission, huh!?” Anja sounded like she was crying. “But I’m so busy! I can’t come there! Bye!”
What the hell? How busy are the gods and servants that they can’t do proper long-distance communication?
Well, it’s not a big issue. After this fifth mission, I will get a new servant and can unlock a new god skill!
[A sculptor has a hard time selling his works]
Credit points: 2500
Skill points: 1
[One village has the dancing plague]
Credit points: 5000
Skill points: 2
[There is a famous old dungeon whose door only opens a few times]
Credit points: 7500
Skill points: 3
I won’t go for the first option because it’s similar to the previous one. The second option is attractive, but I want a new environment, not in the village or town. So, I chose the third option. I wonder what the dungeon in Levidna is like.
There is additional information after I press the tab.
[It might be very dark in the dungeon. It would be better if you equip your servant with something that can illuminate the environment]
I could have ordered something in the realm of God, but I had something better. Something I got in the first mission.
After again using the fast-forward feature to let Elise rest, I summoned my servant near the glowing fog.
“Your job is to fight in the dungeon…. You know, a place full of monsters.” I explained, then handed Elise a clear bottle filled with blackish liquid. “This is a potion for seeing in the dark. Drink it.”
Elise accepted the potion, studied it for a moment, then drank it. I laughed when I saw her expression after gulping down the drink. Her eyes were very narrow, her tongue was sticking out, and she looked like she was about to cry.
[Passive skills unlocked]
[Nocturnal eyes – Elise can see in the dark]
After calming herself down, Elise walked toward the glowing part of the fog. She turned her head to me several times. Her steps so continue to stop.
“What are you waiting for? Just go.” I shrugged.
Even when he was halfway into the fog, she was still looking at me.
After she disappeared, I was silent, thinking about what actually happened to my servant.
And as soon as I realized that, I slapped my forehead. Damn it! I forgot to give my ‘blessing’ to her! How could I forget to hit her ass! No wonder she looked confused like that!
