Chapter 74 - White Bane Corps (2/2)
”Yes, and I have more than one forging design to exchange,” said Shadow which convinced the soldier to bring him to Renner immediately. He quickly led him into a tent into a tent where Renner was sitting on the ground sharpening his blade.
”What brings you here, adventurer,” said Renner in an uninterested tone as he continued to sharpen his blade.
”I came to see that the White Bane Corps require more weapons,” said Shadow showing the spear to him.
”The White Bane Corps hardly ever requires anything from adventurers, Mr. Shadow. The quest I put up at the forging association was for the town guard. I would love to finish fortifying this place and return as soon as possible,” replied Renner in the same tone still without looking at Shadow.
”I understand Sir, but I have come to you not to offer armaments but forging designs. I have an original forging design. Though it is only a blackiron weapon of level 10, I believe it can speed up your efforts,” said Shadow quickly explaining his idea. Though he came to the barracks hoping to sell the designs, he was not so hopeful after seeing Renner's attitude.
”Hmm! That would help speed up the efforts of my men. A spear design would definitely help improve the guards' standards,” said Renner finally lifting his head to look at Shadow. ”Now, tell me what you hoped to get in return for the design,” asked Renner getting up.
”I would like to receive a pair of level 10 daggers in exchange for the design. It would help me with the town head's quest and help me reach the city,” answered Shadow truthfully as he held out a forging design. It was best to not lie with higher leveled NPCs, especially when they are NPCs with authority like Renner. If he was found out, he would be in deep trouble.
”A couple of daggers for a forging design? That is hardly a fair trade,” said Renner suspiciously as he took the design to examine it. ”It is a valid design and something that requires the materials available in the plains.”
”Why would you want to exchange the forging design for just a pair of weapons?” asked Renner as he still wouldn't trust Shadow. He wouldn't have been a good commander if he was someone who would easily trust others.
Balthazar couldn't obviously explain to an NPC, his need to finish up the quest within two hours. ”I just want to clear up the path to the city as fast as possible,” said Shadow as he didn't have any other options.
”Even if you are willing to accept this exchange, we can't have the good name of the White Bane Corps tarnished. Such an exchange would diminish our reputation. If you don't want anything else, I suggest you chose something kind of armaments. If you are adamant about not requiring other armaments, I can give you a few contribution points, but you can't be made a member until you are stronger,” said Renner.
System: You have been made an interim outer member of the White Bane Corps. You have earned 100 contribution points. Can only be used after tier 2 when you become a proper outer member of the White Bane Corps.
He got a better deal than he had hoped. Contribution points for the White Bane Corps was something he had never even heard of in his previous life. Though he can't determine their value of these contribution points, he was sure that becoming a member of something like White Bane Corps would have its advantages. With these contribution points, he definitely had a good chance of entering the NPC-player group when he reached Tier 2.
”This concludes our transaction, adventurer. If you have any other things to exchange, I suggest you do it as soon as possible. I would be relieved of my duties after the path to the city is cleared. All the quests, I posted would be retracted after that and the town guard will take over after that.” said Renner as he pulled out a pair of daggers and gave it to him.
The daggers looked like they have been made from the claws of a monster. The blade was in the shape of a claw but had a blood red color. The handle was made of leather with a red gem on top of the pommel.
[Red Claw daggers] (Bronze dagger)
Level 10;

Special Effect 1: Red Rage: Smashing the pommels of the pair of daggers would cause a burst of energy to come out and injure to come out increasing the strength and endurance of the player by 20% for a period of 10 seconds. Cooldown: 5 minutes;
”Thank you,” said Shadow taking the daggers and walked out. Once, out he started to exchange the spears and halberds he crafted with the guard keeping only a couple of them for Rudra and Tetsujin to use once they reach level 10.
He got a total of 22 spears, 6 pairs of daggers and 5 halberds which he made. Among them, the spear and halberds could be used right now to gain experience from the quest that Renner posted. After all, he didn't complete that quest, but rather had a transaction with Renner.
Each of the level 10 weapons gave him 100 experience and 5 silver if he sold it to the soldier. Though it was a small amount, the important thing for him right now is to gather experience points. With the exception of 2 halberds, he sold of the remainder of the level 10 equipment to the soldier to reach level 12 before he made his way to the rest of the team.
