Chapter 92: Chapter 91: Bait the Baiters, Part I (2/2)
-That's the Messenger Guild!-
The building clearly had the emblem of the Messenger Guild and was standing there, fully built.
-Was there one in Cairo?-
I didn't remember there being one. I continued past the building and entered the base.
That night, I met with Shin and Ebonene for dinner and told them that I would be leaving. They wanted me stay a while longer, but I told them that I had to take care of some personal issues, and that I would return if I had the chance.
”Then I would you to take this with you.” Ebonene took something out from his inventory. ”They are Warp Scrolls with our base location recorded.”
”You will always have a room with us. We'll even keep your personal chef on duty here.”
”Thank you.” I placed the five scrolls into my inventory. ”By the way, I noticed that the Messenger Guild has constructed a Teleport building.”
”Yes. They requested permission to build one in Cairo not long after you left for the dungeon. We graciously allowed them, as it would be a benefit for us all.”
”Ah, I see.” We stayed up a little longer that night, talking and drinking.
------
The next morning, I went over to the Teleport building. I had to head to the Hive tomorrow. I needed to complete all of my errands today before heading to Macao.
-They should have Seoul, right?-
I checked the locations the Messenger Guild had, and saw Seoul on the list. It was right next to Anton's Store.
Each trip cost 100,000 golden rings, but I now had more than enough money to spend. I paid the fee and stepped onto the platform.
I was teleported to Seoul in an instant, and heard the hubbub of a large crowd. The sight of a huge crowd of busy mortals and devas filled my vision.
”There're way more people here than in Cairo.” Cairo used to be a rural town, compared to Seoul. But now that it was safer, more and more mortals were beginning to gather in Cairo. It' would soon become as busy as Seoul.
I headed straight for Anton's Store. I was a celebrity in Cairo, but no one here gave me a second glance.
------
I went up to the skill shop and walked over to Sleng.
”Oh! Master Lee, it's been a while!”
”It has. Show me your skills.”
”Right away.”
==[Physical tree, Magic tree, General tree, Random skill (not applicable)]==
I selected the Physical tree and searched up Mana Conversion.

-This is one good skill,- I mused.
At first glance, this skill didn't seem to compare to Warrior's Brave Spirit. It only raised ATT by 15% and consumed MP, but Warrior's Brave Spirit had an 8 hour cooldown even at level 3, and could only be used for three hours. I did have the Myth Guild's crafted item that increases the usage time, but still.
-I could use Mana Conversion for as long as I have MP. The attribute damage buff is always a plus, too. Hmm…I guess Earth is best out of all of them.-
While Ice magic decreased attack and movement speed, it was nothing compared to the Slow that Earth magic inflicted. But it would make my Heel Kick useless.
-Eh, I'll take it just in case. If both skills do end up overlapping too much, I'll get rid of one of them and learn something else.-
I selected Mana Conversion to buy.
”The skill costs 35,000,000 golden rings. With your 20% VIP discount, your total comes out to 28,000,000 golden rings.”
-----
After buying the skill, I left the Store and headed for Incheon Airport. I had noticed in Cairo that Macao wasn't on their teleporting list.
As I got on the plane, I recalled back to when the Hitman Guild tried to kidnap me. I was much stronger now.
-Maybe I'll take care of the Hitman Guild after dealing with this Macao business...-
