Chapter 357: Reiger’s expectation of 350
The next day, early morning.
The capital’s weather remained poor today, and while it didn’t pour as heavily as before, dark clouds still periodically drifted by, blocking the sunlight and leaving the accumulated puddles at the roadside undried, making the road conditions quite terrible.
The conditions of the main street where the adventurer’s inn was located were equally poor, making many adventurers very reluctant to go out in such weather. In addition, it was said that recently many rarely seen high-grade adventurers had stayed at this inn, including the all-female team "Azure Rose," who had been taking up residence here lately, attracting many adventurers who wanted a glimpse of the highest-ranking ones, opting to stay inside the inn, making the first-floor restaurant livelier than the day before.
Upon closer inspection, many high-ranking adventurers with Mountain Copper badges and Mithril badges could be seen among those gathered in the restaurant, a rare sight in the Re·Lantier, where only the highest-ranking adventurers were Mithril class.
This went to show that the adventurers based in the capital of the Re·Yestijie Kingdom surpassed those in Re·Lantier in both rank and strength.
In such circumstances, Reiger left his room and came down to the restaurant on the first floor.
His arrival immediately sparked the attention of many.
"...Is that him?"
"That’s right, it’s him."
"So young..."
"Can such a young fellow really be Reiger Brillhaut, the one rumored to be able to take on a whole team of advanced-grade adventurers by himself?"
The adventurers began to murmur among themselves, and many even cast challenging glances at Reiger, clearly dubious of the rumors and his strength.
Reiger, as if he didn’t see any of it, or as if he had grown used to such scenes, left the hotel alone and stepped outside the gate.
Today, Reiger was planning to take a walk outside.
This was his first time in the capital of the Re·Yestijie Kingdom, and he wasn’t very familiar with the surrounding area, so he intended to visit the adventurer’s guild to see if he could gather some information on the local monsters.
If there were mighty monsters nearby worth confronting, he was planning to encounter them and accumulate experience.
Reiger had always remembered the purpose of coming to this world—to refine himself.
By now, he had learned a great deal of magic from Ainz, made significant advances in his magical knowledge, and his need for magic wasn’t as strong as before. Therefore, naturally, Reiger wanted to train his Megumi and see if he could level up in this world.
If he could reach Lv.7, his strength would once again undergo a significant increase.
"Unfortunately, that’s quite difficult."
Reiger recalled his recently updated abilities from this morning.
...
Reiger Brillhaut
Lv.6
Strength: B767→ S996
Endurance: B741→ S968
Agility: A815→ SS1055
Dexterity: A837→ SS1078
Magic Power: C660→ SS1114
Light Armor: D
Swordsman: D
Magic Conductor: G→ F
Fighter: G
Rapid Attack: H
...
After over two months of effort, the total increase in Reiger’s proficiency was still less than 1400.
In the Earth Mistake World, having such growth in just under three months at Lv.6 would be unthinkable to many, but for Reiger, this growth was undoubtedly modest.
There were two main reasons for this.
One was that Reiger was already Lv.6, and advancing further would indeed be much more difficult than before, specifically because the required experience had increased, thus slowing down his growth rate.
The other reason was the scarcity of powerful individuals in this world—not like on the Akasha Continent, where Reiger fought mostly opponents equivalent to Lv.3-Lv.4 masters, and sometimes even Lv.5-Lv.6 full-fledged swordsmen, from whom he could usually gain a lot of experience upon defeating.
The natives of this world were quite weak. Even those who entered the Heroic Domain were only equivalent to Lv.3, and opponents of that level were scarce, resulting in Reiger gaining little experience in this world despite defeating many adventurers and monsters.
Thus, after more than two months, Reiger’s growth was just a little, incomparable to his previous progress.
"Fortunately, ’Magic Power’ and ’Magic Conductor’ have both gained considerable improvement, or the gains from these two months might have been even less."
Perhaps because he had obtained many spells with peculiar effects in this world and because he had been mindful to use magic frequently, his "Magic Power" attribute had improved greatly, surpassing "Strength," "Endurance," "Agility," and "Dexterity," jumping all the way from C grade to SS grade in one go.
Even "Magic Conductor" had advanced a level, making Reiger’s achievements at least not too disappointing.
However, to advance further, Reiger felt that he would probably have to choose his opponents more carefully, not to mention achieving significant level-ups.
"Might as well go pick a fight with the Platinum Dragon Lord; we have unfinished business from before."
"Or maybe it’s time to stir up some trouble with Ainz?"
"Speaking of which, Nazarick should soon start making more noticeable moves, and when that happens, those guys won’t be as restrained as before, bringing no small challenge to the humans of this world, a significant disaster, easily trampled by those grotesque creatures."
