I Can Make Everything Level UP-Chapter 48: Cooperarion (4)

The lord's mansion had walls that were as tall as the ones used to protect the town. While that wasn't surprising, what was surprising was the fact that only members of the hammersmiths tribe worked there to protect the place. They were strong, but Billy didn't see one of them standing above the others… the other tribes had far more talented individuals.

Although there was no garden between the walls and the mansion, it certainly had a space large enough for it. Billy assumed that the lord of the town didn't like decorations, but then he entered the building, and he changed his mind. In the walls, he saw several candle holders that looked made of silver… that MADE Billy frown. He had never seen silver or anything like it until now. As if that wasn't enough, he also saw several cases allocated around the mansion, and while they seemed old, they were being treated like relics.

"I guess there are old things that the people found while they were moving around…" Billy thought. "I don't remember ruins being mentioned, but they probably exist and the lord likes to collect such things… even though the rest of the town pretty much lives with the bare minimum."

Since he was the lord, it was normal that his lifestyle would be different. Still… Billy shook his head to get rid of those thoughts. It didn't take long for Billy to reach a certain room on the other side of the mansion. That was fast. Billy thought he would see some servants or even the family of the lord… But the place was weirdly silent.

"Sir, Billy of the green eyed spearmen has arrived."

That was the first time Billy had heard that… he didn't know that his tribe was identified that way, even though all of them indeed had green eyes.

"Enter," a rough voice echoed.

Billy had seen some wooden doors in the town, but that one seemed a lot newer and flashier than the others. Nevertheless, he opened the door, and he saw a very rustic version of the offices Billy had seen in his previous life. Although there was a fancy-looking chair and table in front of him, Billy didn't find bookshelves or documents around. Instead, he found several types of weapons on the walls. Spears, glaives, long swords, curved swords… all of those looked pretty old, like hundreds of years old, but to some extent, they had been restored.

On the other side of the table, Billy saw a tall and bulky man. While he had a round belly, he still had several muscles that showed that he had trained with the stone hammers for many years. His eyes were yellow-brown, and his head was completely shaved.

"You are young… My name is Edward and I am the lord of this town," Edward said and then pointed Billy to sit in one of the chairs in the room. "It is nice to meet you, I heard a few things about your accomplishments from the leaders of the tribes."

"Yes, thank you for the invitation," Billy said.

"I heard from your tribe that you have mastered their type of training, but I also heard from my closest soldiers that you have a deadly Aim with the bow," Edward said. "It is very impressive that you have such skills at such a young age."

"I had good teachers," Billy said

Billy didn't like the destination of that conversation. Being praised wasn't bad, but he felt weird when a strange was doing that since it was obviously a sign to make them get on his good side. Fortunately, Edward didn't continue doing that for long.

"I would like to see you reach new heights and I want to help you with that," Edward got up and then picked a dark glaive from the wall. "This is the reward for your accomplishments in the last mission."

Glaive of the Unstoppable - Lv 0

Strength + 15, Speed + 10

Durability: 05/25

Effect: Recovery Lv 02 (It restores two points of health per hour)

Billy opened his eyes widely when he saw the effect of the spear… it was basically a weapon that increased by three times the recovery speed of the user. It was something that Drew would benefit from holding.

"Thank you very much, I will make good use of it," Billy said.

The durability was a problem, but Billy could solve that problem by making the weapon level up. The more he increases its durability, the harder it will become and the less durability it will lose. Besides, now that he found such an effect, Billy probably could make it appear in other weapons… he will just have to have enough skill points.

"I am glad you liked it," Edward said. "I had planned to end this conversation here, but after I heard a few other things about you, I realized that you could help me with something else."

"... Is that so?" Billy asked while frowning.

"Yes, I heard that you get along with kids of the other tribes and those became a lot skilled after becoming your friends," Edward said. "With that in mind, I believe you wouldn't mind letting someone else join your group… someone from the elementalists."

Billy frowned when he heard that… Why would he welcome someone from the group that almost crept his father? While he was interested in their magic, he couldn't just get close to them after what happened. Not to mention, he killed one very famous member of the tribe, and a lot of people obviously hated him.

"The elementalists are a group that we will need for the sake of the future, so we will have to forget our differences," Edward said. "However, they are being more stubborn than expected… even their kids don't want to cooperate.. Thus, I would like you to welcome one of some of them in your group and get close to them, make them feel welcomed and try to change the minds of the others as well."
