"Ladies and gentlemen, let Hanna explain the specifics about this manual first before concluding."
The auction hall was quiet again. They just realized that the auction organizer must have a strong reason for placing an item first, and it was not taken without careful consideration.Hanna began to explain the main item in the auction."The name of the manual is [Thousand of Puppets Art]..."From Hanna's explanation, [Thousand of Puppets Art] was the skill of summoning puppets from a long distance. So to apply it, a summoner must make their puppet first and cannot use corpses or the other like.When hearing the explanation in this part, the faces of most of the bidders became even grimmer, but the next explanation made them widen their eyes."The puppets of [Thousand of Puppets Art] will send EXP and kill counts to their master, unlike other manual summoners that will waste EXP for free and not add any kill totals for the master."In addition, [ThouEdelberto sneered at him."If you want to play with me, you can do it later with my guards. I assure you, you will be pleased! But right now, you'd better back off, or the consequences might be very bad. Don't waste my time!"Hanna's face turned ugly when she heard Edelberto's threat.Following the auction rules, a bidder must not threaten another bidder to relent. If that happens, then the attendant will act by kicking him out.However, Hanna was afraid to do that to Edelberto. Who would dare to against the direct nobility of Falling Star Kingdom?Even if Edelberto wanted to, Ironwood Town could be simply wiped out by the central government.But if she let Edelberto continue to openly threaten Aaron, Hanna was worried about the Ironwood Trade Association getting a bad name and losing the trust of loyal customers.Hanna was at a loss for words, so she quickly searched the VIP room for the manager's face. However, all she found was the manager's empty room. Not even her bodyguards were
A moment later, George entered Aaron's VIP room in a huff.Looking for trouble with a nobleman could never end well. However, looking for trouble with the Unmatched Swords Master was no less bad.George didn't come to take anyone's side. He came to intervene."This guy wants to kill me!" Edelberto crawled backward while looking at Aaron like he was looking at a monster.Annoyed, Aaron replied, "If I wanted you dead, I have done it from the start, even now would be still fine if you want it."Edelberto getting scared. His teeth chattered as his whole body shivered violently. He was unable to say anything else."Brother, please hold your temper." George tried to calm Aaron down as much as possible. If Edelberto died here, then Ironwood Town would suffer the consequences."You'd better shut up, George. When this guy blatantly violated the auction rules, you didn't even try to warn him. Now I've decided to solve my problem by myself, why are you interfering?"Hearing the cold words coming
Moving away from Ironwood Town, Aaron arrived at Buried Bones Forest.The forest was a very quiet place, so quiet in fact that the atmosphere felt quite eerie.Due to the thin fog that covered the entire forest, not much sunlight could touch the ground of Buried Bones Forest.No matter how bright the sky was outside, Buried Bones Forest would still be shrouded in perpetual darkness, making it look like a haunted forest.Aaron sensed that Buried Bones Forest was barely inhabited by creatures of the 5 races. That was probably due to the creepy atmosphere in this place. So, this forest was only inhabited by Destroyer Beasts and perhaps some Spirit Beasts.Aaron breathed a sigh of relief. This was a suitable place to learn a manual.Destroyer Beasts and Spirit Beasts were classified as creatures that wouldn't bother if they weren't bothered before. As long as Aaron kept his attitude in this place, he would be fine.However, Blackie didn't have the same
Eating his rations, Aaron searched for information about the latest skills useful for swordsmen on his computer.Although he had played Martial Earth Online, it did not rule out the possibility that some new skills had appeared in Martial Universe Online.After finding some skills that suited him, Aaron smiled with satisfaction before finishing the rest of his rations.The young man decided to learn as many skills as possible and level up before starting to hunt orcs.Seven hundred million orcs was not an entirely small number. If Aaron had to kill them all with just the level and skills he currently had, then it would take dozens or even decades without a break.On the other hand, Aaron could make a clone of himself in puppet form with [Thousand of Puppets Art]. That would greatly shorten the time!After cleaning up the leftovers, Aaron wanted to go to the gym to keep in shape. However, it turned out that Leen had her gym inside her house, and it was even better equipped."I have mar
Learning the [Quick Manual Method], Aaron didn't need a lot of time because the method itself was designed to be learned quickly.Aaron realized how valuable the [Quick Manual Method] was after searching for it on the internet. It was a rare method that only 20 pieces existed in the entire Martial Universe Online. The rest of the methods had yet to be discovered and were thought to exist on locked continents.Just like the [Thunders Sword], players must still have the [Quick Manual Method] if they wanted to practice it. It could not be shared.Leen had given him one of the rare methods, which meant that Leen had at least two [Quick Manual Methods], and this was natural considering that the woman was the director of the Martial Online Company.Right after covering the [Quick Manual Method], Aaron came out from inside his hut while straightening his back."Woah, my head feels heavy after learning that method. Before continuing to study [Thunders Sword: Blink Think], so why not go out fo
"Who are you?" Dakzan asked with a frown.Not answering, the woman in the white dress just turned to Aaron behind her. She smiled slightly.Looking carefully, Aaron could recognize the woman, he then murmured with relief, "You came at the right time, Leen."Then like a leaf falling in the wind, another beautiful woman floated down and landed right next to Leen. She was not a swordsman, but a mage. In her hand was a staff that was even taller than her body."Rong En, you will help me from behind. Give me some buffs," Leen said."Un!"Rong En was a mage, one of the support classes that was very useful for helping the party from the back line. A mage was rarely involved in close combat, so it was natural for Leen to ask Rong En to retreat."Woman, I can't see your level," Dakzan said with a worsening look on his face."For an orc who will die in a moment, you don't have much to say." Right after saying that, Leen went on the offensive.On th
"Wait, this is..."Aaron looked at the tall ancient tree that almost touched the sky. He had never seen this tree before, even though he had visited the same place. Very strange."You must be wondering about this ancient tree in this place, right?" Leen smiled teasingly."I've been here before, but I didn't see a tree this tall at all," Aaron replied."That's right. This tree belongs to a very great and ancient magical plant. It only shows itself at certain times," Leen explained. "And because it's over tens of thousands of years old, the ancient tree has evolved into a portal into a dungeon filled with magical creatures.""Wait, you said that we were only going to hunt Destroyer Beasts. You didn't say anything about magical creatures or anything like that." Aaron became a little uneasy.Unlike the Destroyer Beast and the Spirit Beast, the Magic Beast was a creature that was outside of that hierarchical pyramid. However, even its power far exceeded that of the Spirit Beast.Magic Beas
Aaron spent the night studying [Thousand of Puppets Art]. He had no intention of sleeping at all.As for Leen, he left the game early because he had to settle other matters in the real world. Given that he was one of the directors of the number one company in the world, it was only natural that he was very busy.[Thousand of Puppets Art] was not a skill that could be learned in just one night. Even after Aaron exerted all his thinking power, he could only understand 15% of the entire manual.Aaron estimated that he would finish within a week if his current progress speed was constant.When morning came, Aaron immediately logged out of the game because he had to fill his stomach in the real world.As ever, Leen always greeted him warmly when he opened his VR helmet. The smiling woman was warmer than the previous days."What would you like to eat for dinner?" she asked. "But, please no more rations."Laughing a little, Aaron said, "Anything you can cook, I'll eat it."Leen's smile grew
