chapter 36: helping out
it was the fifth morning after we had successfully hunted the great boar with the new recruits. i went to fetch water. normally rodan, who is feeling better, goes to fetch water, but today i wanted to go.
at 6:00 a.m., the bell rang, and two large buckets were brought by me. there is already a queue of serfs.
“good morning!”
i greet them in a loud voice. they all turned around.
“oh! the eldest son of rodan. good morning.”
some of them look familiar to me. one of them was the serf who had gone hunting last time.
“are you coming again tomorrow, boy?”
another serf calls out to me.
“yes, i will be there. please let me have a spear too.”
i gave him a frustrated look, as if to say, “i’m having trouble with my father not letting me participate in the hunting.”
“no, if i say so, rodan will beat us to it.” the serf said jokingly.
laughter broke out at the water pumping station. a serf joins in the conversation, looking envious.
“it’s nice, isn’t it, that you guys get to participate in the hunting?”
“what are you talking about? i heard they’re bringing in two new recruits tomorrow. why don’t you join?”
“my wife is pregnant, you know. so, i can’t recklessly leave her alone.” said the serf.
the first round of training for new recruits in the long spear system (named by me) was a success. based on the results, we will keep the first batch of newcomers and recruit two new ones, increasing the number of new participants by two and improving their level.
another serf, who has not participated in the boar hunt, agrees with him when the man said that he couldn’t participate. boar hunting is a life-threatening task. allen also saw a great boar that was over three meters tall. there is no guarantee that he will return safely. his wife needs him to come back safely.
“that’s true. they’re going to hunt once every six days, this year. and it’s very risky.”
“yeah, i get it. we need the meat for my wife. we have a small farm, so even if we have to dismantle it, it’ll be a big help.”
“okay.”
hearing this, i called out to the serf who was only dismantling up the meat.
“excuse me, uncle.”
“i’m not old enough to be your uncle. what is it?”
“i need your help with something.”
actually, this is the reason i came to fetch water. i told him to come to my house at 9:00 a.m. and i came back home with a bucket of water.
and it was nine o’clock. the serf who i had called out to in the morning came to the house.
“oh, hello! thank you for coming.”
“yeah, no problem. what do you want me to do for you?”
the serf looks at something hanging in the canal.
“oh, that’s the one i caught earlier.”
there are two albaherons hanging there. he was slightly taken aback by the corpses, blood still dripping from their necks. i lead the way, telling him to come over here.
“this is ...”
there were countless albaherons.
allen had resumed his albaherons hunting in october, and had told rodan that he would concentrate on hunting albherons instead of working in the fields until november. rodan agreed to it. my help has been helpful to him, but he doesn’t count on it.
a few minutes passed after the three members of the bait team left.
‘the boar is coming, oh, oh, oh!”
as i’m thinking about this, the boar comes.
(oh! the boar is coming!”
pekeji, the leader of the bait team, came out of the woods at a great speed. the three of them came out at the same time today, so there seems to be only one great boar.
(it’s about time. come on, denka!)
allen is doing something, but the hunt goes on.
pekeji and the other three baits were charging through gerda and the others as fast as they could. gerda and the encircling team catch them. once the enclosure is complete, rodan and his team of attackers aim for the neck.
it was a perfect move, just like last time.
“come on, you rookies! don’t stab us in the back!”
gerda reminded them not to stab themselves by using the long spear in the wrong place. 4 newcomers poked them with the long spear at the same time.
not five minutes later, fresh blood spurted out of his neck. it seemed that they had pierced a blood vessel in his neck. not many minutes later, the boar completely collapsed.
“i’m over it! i’ve gone through the ordeal again!”
“it’s true! so, this is what it means to go over a trial!”
all four of the newcomers, both first-time participants and those who have participated since the last time, all level up.
i also check my shining grimoire.
“defeated one great boar. you have acquired 400 experience points.”
“experience is now 2000/2000. your level has increased to 3. your strength has increased by 25. your mana has increased by 40. attack power increased by 14. endurance increased by 14. agility increased by 26. intelligence increased by 40. luck increased by 26.
(yes! i am now considered to have participated in the battle after all. i also levelled up!)
allen placed the h-rank insect, denka at the feet of the rushing great boar. it was killed instantly and disappeared in a bubble of light.
allen’s summons naturally had a range in which it could be summoned. it doesn’t mean that it can be anywhere within the visible range, such as beyond the horizon. on the contrary, the range is not too narrow, such as within a few meters. the conditions for where he can summon have also been verified.
conditions for summoning:
-within a radius of 50 meters
-visible location.
since the radius is 50 meters, the sky is also possible. it is also possible to summon a bird-like summoned creature and have it fly away. the boar was within the 50 meter radius, so he could summon denka near the foot of the boar.
it cannot be summoned inside the house, where it cannot be seen from the garden. it cannot be summoned at the feet hidden by the boar’s body. it has to be under the feet of the boar at the moment it crushes you. timing is important.
(i see, even if it gets hit by a summoned beast, it’s still subject to experience distribution. if the bait team doesn’t have a spear after catching a fish, do they get experience just from being targeted by a magical beast?)
conditions for experience distribution
-attack
-being attacked
-targeted by magical beast
(that’s about it.)
i had planned to verify the conditions of experience distribution during this boar hunt.
thus, i’ve been working on a number of new things, such as helping to dismantle the albaheron and verifying the distribution of experience. i’ve been very busy this fall and winter.
