Chapter 9 A Rank Party <Sacred Flame>

The next day, I woke up as soon as the sun rose, hurriedly ate some dried meat, and left.

Today, I’m moving with 22 people who were in the rest area yesterday.

Since there’s a large difference in strength, we’re moving slowly, with the stronger ones on the outside, and the weaker ones on the inside.

After walking for a while, we entered the danger zone <Goblin Forest>.

There are only goblins in the Goblin Forest.

It may sound like it’s not a big deal, but… dozens of goblins will constantly attack you, and high-ranking goblins, such as Goblin Archer (E), Goblin Mage (E), Goblin Shaman (D), Goblin General (C), and Goblin King (B), frequently appear.

According to what I was told yesterday, you can get 8 copper coins for one goblin, so it’s not a bad thing considering the money, but… they are swarming like cockroaches and it makes me slightly irritated.

While overpowering the goblins with brute force, we passed through the danger zone in about five hours and arrived at a nearby rest area.

And when I turned around… I saw the other members who were out of breath.

「Is something wrong?」

「You…. Why are you not even tired even though you were fighting in the front line!?」

「Why, you ask? …… Skill difference?」

I raised my stats with enchantments (I also enchanted my underwear and socks with body strengthening yesterday), but this magic is also part of my skill, so it isn’t wrong.

…… Hey, there are several old men crying, why?

They are saying something like, 「What are our efforts up until now for…」

Well, I can understand how they feel, but please don’t complain to me.

「Hee~, you’re amazing~」

「You don’t look like that at all, though…」

「You’re just relying on your equipment, so saying it like that is… wait, are you an enchanter?」

As I was joking around, I heard voices behind me.

Wait, how can they find out that I’m an enchanter!?

…… I found out the reason after I appraised them.

One of them has the <Equipment Appraisal> skill.

Equipment Appraisal is a skill that allows you to see the status of equipment.

I have a lot of equipment with the same skill and the same number, so it’s natural for him to notice it…

「Nice to meet you. We are the 『Sacred Flame』, an A rank party. I am the leader, Karen, and I’m an S rank adventurer.」

「I’m Bogard. I’m an A rank adventurer.」

「I’m will, an A rank adventurer. You, could it be that you’re an enchanter?」

As expected of an A rank party, their stats are so amazing.

…… For the time being, they don’t seem to have any villain-like skills, so it would be great if I could make a connection with them.

Let’s be friendly.

「Nice to meet you, my name is Jink. …… It’s true that I can use enchantment, but how did you know that?」

From behind, I can hear people shouting something like, 「What!?」 or 「An enchanter!?」, but I ignore them all.

Let’s just look ahead!

「You see, I have a skill called 『Equipment Appraisal』. I see that most of your equipment has 『Body Strengthening +8』, and that sword also has 『Swordsmanship +8』. …… Since currently there’s no enchanter on this continent, it would be natural to think that you have Enchantment level 8.」

I knew it….

「By the way… if we were to ask you for some enchantments right now, would you accept? Of course, I will pay you the appropriate price.」

An enchantment request from Will-san… I’m short of money, so I want to accept it, but….

「I will accept it under certain conditions.」

I don’t want to accept it easily and regret it later, so I prioritize conditions over money.

「What are the conditions?」

「First, the item to be enchanted must have the owner’s blood dripped on it so that only that person will be affected by the enchantment. And lastly, I’m on my way to the Kingdom of Quall, so please don’t tell anyone about my status until I get there.」

「I see. We accept those conditions. In the first place, we are adventurers from the Kingdom of Quall. We’ll be happy if an enchanter comes to our country. So, how much should we pay?」

「I have never met another enchanter, so I don’t know the market price. Please pay me what you think is appropriate after you see the results.」

There’s still a chance that Will-san will lie, but… I want to know the standard for the future.

「I can enchant Swordsmanship +8, Spearmanship +1, Body Strengthening +8, Alchemy +2, Appraisal 3, Etiquette +3, and magic bag (small). As for appraisal, I will only grant it to exclusive cards.」

「H-Hold on! Appraisal!? Why can you enchant such a rare skill!? Even magic bag and alchemy are pretty rare, you know!?」

Will-san, calm down.

…… Your character is collapsing.

「Even if you ask me why…. I can only say that it’s because I have that skill. So, what will it be?」

「…… For the time being, I want everything. I want 『Appraisal 3』 cards for the three of us. Also, 『Body Strengthening +8』 for our shirts, pants, and boots, 『Alchemy +2』 for Karen’s earrings, 『Swordsmanship +8』 for Bogard’s sword, 『Magic Bag (Small)』 for my and Bogard’s rucksacks, 『Etiquette +3』 for my necklace, and 『Spearmanship +1』 for… hey, you over there, we will pay for it, so is it okay to enchant your spear?」

「Ah, sure!」

「So, can you do it?」

「Okay!」

My first request as an enchanter makes me excited!

…… For the time being, I created three appraisal cards.

And when I enchanted <Spearmanship +1> <Etiquette +3> <Alchemy +2> while drinking a mana potion, my Enchantment went up to level 9
