523 521 What is a commercial fleet? (1/2)
After Lane's stall, we were on our way to the Adventurer Alliance. But I'm also concerned about that eyelid girl on the road.
”That girl, did you realize I used the appraisal?
”Lane?”
”Oh.”
I thought it was my mistake, but something still catches on.
”Then it's amazing”
In the first place, we were training on that plain, considerably enhancing our covert and cover-up abilities. Signs of activating the appraisal are also suppressed more than before.
If you don't have a high level of appraisal detection, you're confident that you won't be taken into account.
Anyway, I wouldn't have noticed if even Amanda hadn't been too focused. Besides, when I say I realize it, I'm like, ”Did you see it? was to such an extent as to cause discomfort.”
From what I've seen, Lane wasn't that strong. Even when I said the senses were sharpened, the movement was to the extent that the amateur had hair, and the magic was low. As an adventurer it should have been about rank F or E.
To be clear, I never thought I'd be taken into account. In fact, she didn't have the skills to be perfectly aware of the appraisal with her skills, and she should have been in a status where she never somehow noticed it with her thoughts and senses like a mighty man.
I was supposed to...
”... I'm gonna lose confidence.”
Appraisal is a very useful skill. Daily training is also necessary to use it securely in times of need.
I practiced scattered on my warcraft opponents on the plains. Even those with high sensory abilities are becoming proficient to such an extent that few signs of appraisal are noticed. So now I was in the middle of practicing on a human opponent.
That said, I don't exactly use it for kings or guild masters. Using them are the average person in town who is unlikely to notice the appraisal, or travelers on the road who are not going to be this depressed if they use the appraisal.
No, there's still a slight chance they'll notice. That would be the possibility of having an appraisal detection skill by chance. But if I said that, I'd be scared to use my appraisal skills.
It would be too dumb to seal this skill for fear of being able to use an appraisal and fail at times of need. All I can say is that's retarded.
No, I wouldn't fail if I just activated the appraisal. But it takes a lot of practice to use it in conjunction with covert skills to suppress the signs of a skill activation.
It's a world with game-like systems, but it doesn't work the same way whoever uses it, and if you train it, you just improve it.
Same goes for appraisals. I have to use it to make it better.
You didn't forget what Diaz said, did you? I was just advised that if I set up an appraisal on the royal family or something, I might be guilty of disrespect. I wasn't told not to use appraisals. Rather, it was advice to use it well.
I was going to follow that advice, use my appraisal on the cheap pie-like opponent as much as possible, and practice......
I still care about Lane. Do you refrain from practicing appraisal on your human opponent for a while?
If I had thought about that, I would have seen the Adventurer Guild sign in no time.
”Though.”
”Yes, welcome to the Adventurer Guild!
When I enter Kiarazen's guild, the receptionist's sister greets me with a smile.
”Request - isn't it?
”I've come to see your request”
”I knew you were an adventurer. Are you alone?
”Mmm.”
”Is that it? But that's crazy.”
”What?
”You didn't stick to the commercial fleet, did you?
”Shigyushin?
”Don't you know? Could it be foreign born?
”Mmm.”
”Oh well. Commercial fleet.”
Your sister explained it to me. A commercial fleet is a large fleet travelling around Lake Vivian. Yeah, Lake Vivian means this huge lake.
They say there are a number of large towns and cities on the banks of lakes that are bigger than small countries, and the fleet regularly tours those locations.
Their work is diverse and deals in purchasing and selling specialties and more. The feet of adventurers and travellers travelling. Fishing and purchasing materials in the central part of dangerous lakes. They even offer entertainment such as circuses and bards, and even regular health check-ups by doctors and others.
”So many, can you get on the boat?
”Because it's not one ship. Otherwise, they wouldn't call you a fleet, would they?
”So the ship is full?
”Yeah, that's a lot. I don't know the exact number, but there are more than 10 big ships. I wonder if there were more than 50 small ships.”
”Ho.”
That's awesome. There 'll be more people there than a little village when we get there.
”We've been going around this lake for hundreds of years now, haven't we?
”Heh. Who started it?
”That's funny. I don't know if you're lying or not, but this Lake Vivian used to be a sea.”
”The ocean turned into a lake?
”Originally there was a small lake, and the lake and the sea combined to make it a big lake. Lake Vivian says the name of that little lake has been taken over.”
