I looked at the popped-up panel and recognised it as the Guild panel. With that, I saw an announcement ‘Booba has joined U.w.U’.
Before I can send out a chat to let her know where we are though...
“Heya~ it’s been a while!” -Booba-
She walks in, happily with her camoufge appearance as Siegfried & I wave at her in greeting.
“It has! How’s the photoshoot?”
“It went great! So... U.w.U guild eh? I didn’t know you can build dragon’s reach here.” -Booba-
She looks around the pce, clearly recognizing the inspiration as she smiles. I feel a little bit of pride surging in me just like when Siegfried saw this pce.
“Yep! By the way, Booba have you explored the castle yet?”
She shakes her head...
“Nope, when I tele here I got greeted by the farmers and asked them where you are-” -Booba-
“-And by the way, one of the farmers is quite a catch~.” -Booba-
She raised her eyebrows many times with a smirk on her face as we ughed.
“Haha... well! I guess it’s time for another tour and OH!!! *ehem* Welcome to U.w.U, Booba & Siegfried!”
I made an exaggerated welcoming gesture, I felt comfortable enough to be silly in front of them as they chuckled at my antics.
From here on, I showed Booba the pces of the castle. Like the Great Hall, Kitchen, Arcane Room, Left Wing, Right Wing, War Room, and Balcony.
After that...
“Since everyone’s here, what other NPCs should we hire?”
I shared the NPCs list with Siegfried and Booba as the berserker continued what he said prior.
“I think, we need to hire an Enchanter NPC.” -Siegfried-
Booba's face brightens like a star as Siegfried mentions hiring the Enchanter.
“I think so too.” -Booba-
She quickly aggresses.
Nodding on, I read the Enchanter NPC overall description. It mentions that they can provide recharge of EP gauge for enchanted items but also sell cores if a guildmate wants to purchase them.
I know why they’re enthusiastic about this NPC...
(“This is good for Sieg and Booba. She mentioned she needs cores in exactly match her lovely pets to make them grow stronger. While Siegfried needs to consume them to gain temporary monster {Skill}.”)
Knowing that I tap on them and click hire as the instructions on pcing the workbench appear.
Looking at the silhouette of this enchanter’s workbench. I just knew the best spot for it!
“Where is Magie’s going?” -Booba-
“Don’t know.” -Siegfried-
In a hurry, I ran to the Arcane Room where the wizard in that game usually stays and pced the workbench there.
Booba & Siegfried followed and we wait...
And wait...
And wait...
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
A loud metallic noise echoed from the gate. Siegfried just takes a second before turning his head towards me already knowing who’s behind the door. Truly a useful {Skill} to sense living beings.
“It’s Skald. Probably our enchanter has come in.” -Siegfried-
Booba raised her left eyebrow before turning her gaze towards the gate. Meanwhile, I wave my hand internally casting [Telekinesis] already.
*CREAAAAAKKK*
“Oh dear~, he looks charming.” -Booba-
She smiles while whispering like gossip to me as I do agree with Skald's looks. He would get many suitors, I wonder if NPC/NPC romance in the guild base can exist.
Meanwhile, I noticed that Skald was escorting someone beside him...
A spindly Human figure equally as nky as Siegfried but of course far older probably in the te 60s to early 70s.
His wrinkled old face and greyed beard were a perfect picture of a wizard. The addition of the long robe he wore emphasizes the image of a magic caster for sure.
As soon as I told Skald he’s the person we have hired. The mercenary promptly excused himself out of the vicinity with a polite gesture.
The nky man recognized that I was casting magic as his eyes widened and his lips curled into a faint smile.
“Ah... A student of magic and a traveller. I am gd to be of service. My name’s Horin.” -Horin-
His voice is hoarse but welcoming, he seems happy to see another mage like him.
Just like that, I showed him the room while Siegfried discussed Horin’s service replenishing EP gauge of enchanted items and purchased some of his cores.
He and many other NPCs reset their inventory daily. I too purchased mini-boss cores from Horin purely for enchanting craft. Though, it seems he doesn’t sell boss cores at all so we still need to grind them if we want one.
“By the way, Sieg? How’s the gym? Did coach scold you again?”
We talked while it was Booba's turn to purchase the cores.
“He did and I’m used to it. Hahahaha... I learnt some new moves!” -Siegfried-
He talked with interest and began showing off some moves.
It’s clear that Coach is like a father figure to him and of course, only Siegfried can do those moves. He is trained and enhanced by the {Status}.
My AGI and STR {Status} are far too low to give flexibility and power like that so I can only sp or weakly punch someone.
(“Just like me in real life. Hahaha...”)
Each in-game day, I have used a majority of my
Hmmm... I think I vaguely know the threshold reached to increase the number of [Creation] I can use or [Fragment] I spawned and that takes a lot of INT & WIS.
Maybe it’s time for me to add points to AGI and CON. I’m satisfied with the number but...
(“I pn to make this character focused so it will probably not happen.”)
Besides even with 1 AGI, CON, STR, and DEX. I can do everything like I did in real life... plus with the support of {Spell}, I can do what everyone does!
Looking around U.W. U castle, I noticed that I was still wearing a beginner’s tunic and breeches.
(“In that case, a simple costume will do the trick!”)
I equipped back the C.B.R Battlemage robe and my overall look has changed to brandish a powerful mage figure in bck-gold highlights.
There are also metallic shoulder ptes to give off intimidating vibes. Unfortunately, this is merely a costume that didn’t add any defence or {Status}.
“Oh yeah! Siegfried and Booba... I have a question for both of you.”
“???” -Siegfried-
He crosses his arms while leaning on the wooden wall of the castle.
“Yeah?” -Booba-
She replied after showing that she was done with her transaction.
“We might need to find more guild members... since I was thinking of having 8 members at least so you know... To get raid team and all.”
“So... Uh... Do you know anyone who’s not in a guild? You can give them a recruit request with the rank.”
Both of them currently thinking before finally replying...
“Not yet, but I do have a friend that I can maybe persuade.” -Booba-
“I am not sure, my friend list is you & Booba. I’ll try to recruit.” -Siegfried-
Well, the fact that they’re already thinking about it makes me happy.
While talking and ruminating, I looked to the side at the digital timer dispyed in the system panel.
“Oh no... It’s already 11 PM. I better get off-line, I have an appointment tomorrow.”
I announced that to them and hearing that, Siegfried & Booba nodded as I waved my hand for goodbyes.
Navigate to the ‘Setting” section of the system. I clicked on the log-off button and promptly my vision darkened.
-Exiting O.w.O-
