Chapter 185: Hunting for the Forest Spirit Seed Part 23
Jericho and the others quickly finished preparing themselves.
Looking at everyone, Kayn starts identifying their roles in the party.
Gilbert, as always, is the assassin and scout.
Jude is the mage.
Charles is a knight.
And luckily Jericho is a marksman and Jadiel is a guardian.
Their party composition is basically close to being complete and the only class that they are lacking is a priest.
This was quite a problem since it means they have to be self-sufficient in finding ways to recover their wounds and heal the damages inflicted on them during every single fight.
The main reason why Heroes with the Priest class are more useful compared to external aids like potions and medicines is that the former can be helpful in crucial moments. After all, one cannot take the risk of drinking a potion or taking medicines during a fight to recover. Their enemy would definitely take advantage of that opportunity to land a critical hit which could possibly end up taking their life away.
"I came prepared," Jericho threw a Storage Ring at Kayn.
Kayn caught the Storage Ring and opened it. To his shock, it contains hundreds of Magic Scrolls related to healing and recovery.
Magic Scrolls are a type of external aid item where different magic spells are imbued in them. It is like a piece of parchment that contains a mage's magic spell in it and is just waiting for it to be released.
What can be imbued in Magic Scrolls are all types of magic spells, which naturally includes the magic spells that priest use in healing. Of course, it also depends on the strength of the parchment that's being used, which is also based on the level of the monster the leather came from.
There are a whole lot of other complicated details that are required that only the merchant class would be able to understand.
"You're insane!" Kayn can't help exclaiming. "How exactly did you get all of these?" He can't help wondering how Jericho got this many Magic Scrolls.
"We just finished moving out our entire warehouse yesterday. And it was just in time for Gilbert to come and visit me," He has a lot more in storage right this moment that he just didn't buy along with him.
"How long have you been saving them up?"
"All this time," That's right, he has been saving Magic Scrolls from the very moment he established the Herald Guild. "There was just no opportunity to use them, so it accumulated over time until I have countless of them in storage. You could say that I was preparing it in case a war happens and I have to defend the Herald guild with everything that I've got within me,"
"Did you bring these for the upcoming war?"
"Yes, I made sure to make them a priority,"
"Then would it be fine if we use them?" After all, these Magic Scrolls are very practical as it is like bringing with them a life-saving item.
"Just like what I've said, I have countless in storage, and just this amount won't be enough to affect our guild entirely," Jericho is confident that they have enough Magic Scrolls that can last them even after they leave 'The Bridge'.
"Okay," Kayn choose to believe Jericho.
Kayn split all the Magic Scrolls so that everyone will have equal amounts of them.
As soon as they were done so, the gate was finally opened.
"Let's go,"
Without any hesitation, Kayn and the others dived inside the underwater cave system. This time, it was Jude that cast an <<Aqua Lung>> spell on everyone.
…..
Since it was Gilbert and the others' first time coming into the underwater cave system, Kayn explained to them everything as they swim to the location where they stopped their exploration.
Of course, Kayn didn't leave the part behind about a boss rank monster hiding and waiting at the path they are going.
"Are there no other paths?" Gilbert was worried that this time the supposedly monster would choose to attack them once they get inside its territory.
"There is, but we also have to pass by the boss's room to get there,"
Yesterday, they found plenty of other tunnels when they were out looking for the door to the boss's room. They just didn't get in any of them because that wasn't what they intended to do.
"Are you sure though that the boss would just let us pass?" Jericho can't help wondering.
"Honestly, we are going to take a risk to confirm whether that's true or not," Kayn doesn't know for certain. But if there was something he is sure about, that is it took some time before the boss notice them considering that there were still other paths open when they were exploring.
It wasn't only him that concluded it, Natas also believe it as well.
That's not strange, considering just how huge that cavern was. Just like on the third floor of Mountain Monkey's Lair, they had to get close enough to the Mountain Gorilla for it to notice their presence in its territory.
What he aims to know is what extent that is in order to determine the exact location of the boss. And from there, he will calculate a perimeter where they are outside the range of the boss's detection. By doing so, they will be able to get in and out of the boss's room without the boss noticing that they were ever there.
"I don't have a problem with betting my life, but I first want to know the chances that it won't notice us once we enter its territory," Jericho wanted to confirm first.
"A very good chance," Kayn assures.
"Then I'll believe you. If it turns out false, I will take accountability for my own action of believing you with my life on the line," Jericho expressed that he trust Kayn with everything this time.
Jedial has no other choice but to follow his leader's order.
Gilbert, Jude, and Charles always believe in Kayn, so after he assures them, they feel at ease and peacefully continued with their swimming.
