Chapter 12 last day
"This is impossible Sif, just kill me, I don't want to see any more books."
As I speak to Sif who is on top of a tower of books, I hit the one on my left side causing more books to pile up on the floor.
"You know you'll have to sort them out when we actually leave."
I don't want to spend any more money, so why not sleep here, well that's what I did, let's just say it didn't work out so well my plan, now I'm lying on a pile of open books and there are multiple columns of 10 on my sides.
So far I have researched 30 relics, of those I eliminated 20 for not finding enough information, 5 for not fitting my needs and 3 for being impossible to reach, leaving only two.
[Relic the supreme ring ]
[Optimal requirements:(INT 1000]
[Quality:(purple)]
[Type:(ruler/jewelry)]
[Mysticism:(high)]
[Benefit:(Invisibility,Increased power,
Desire for domination, Control of the Rings of Power, Understand all languages , creation and command of Nazgûl)]]
[Description:Flat gold ring, with an inscription that reveals itself when placed in fire, believed to be an heirloom born from the memories and thoughts of the envoys.
This thing was dangerous, just reading this anyone can tell:One Ring to rule them all. One Ring to find them,
One Ring to lure them all and bind them in darkness.
One thing I have learned after reading the files, is that such a ring has a small connection to the forces of destiny, and is more powerful than the system currently says, as it only shows the abilities I have linked to it.
But also it is not possible to get it now, not that it is impossible, the thing is that it is in the Federation des Europa, a nation bordering the Muscovite empire where I am now, I can't leave and leave the current opportunity.
That brings me to my second choice, this one is nearby in the plains of eternal night, place inhabited by beasts of darkness like ghosts, wraith and more.
[Relic left eye of the dreamer ]
[Optimal requirements:(n/o]
[Quality:(purple)]
[Type:(ruler/jewelry)]
[Mysticism:(medium)]
[Benefit:(absolute obedience,ability to freely alter an individual's memories and read the thoughts of anyone within a range of 250 meters)]]
[Description:a rare relic that is composed of two parts, its powers are reduced due to the missing parts, this relic specializes in taking and giving, to each ability it has a type of restriction.
This was my target, skills not so broken, but amazing to rule, I just had to grab energy to get out of here and wait for the moon to leave.
"Lord Nea!"
With a shout that echoes throughout the structure, from behind a bookshelf appears a girl about 1,50cm, brown hair, long sleeved brown jacket and foot-length skirt of the same color.
"Olga, how long is it time for breakfast or dinner."
As I lifted my arm with much effort, I replied to the little creature that had arrived.
"What's with this cow."
With a fierce movement on her column of books, Sif falls face first to the ground as she tried to growl at Olga. Good point Sif, those things can only be described as cow-like.
"Calm down Sif, she's been feeding us since we were locked in here, a little respect no."
As I speak, I start moving the books that ended up on top of Sif, finally getting her head out of that whole pile of books.
"Come on master, you can't deny me that those things should only belong to cows."
"You know I'm here right?"
While we were talking about her to her own face, Olga came over to our pile of books where we had been living for about 2 or 3 days.
"Back to the subject I came for this time, the captain of the wall is looking for you."
Oh, what will he want with us, still it's a good opportunity to pick up free experience.
"Olga, what day is it today?"
With that question I start trying to get up, well I can tell my bones are broken, not literally but figuratively.
"It's day 5,they have been here for 4 days and yes on more than one occasion they have thought about throwing them out on the street."
With his hand he adjusted his glasses, while calling us bums very discreetly.
"Master what would that guy want with us, I don't think they just want to talk to us."
"I don't know, but we'll find out, since we have no choice but to go, haha."
With that said he grabbed Sif from the books and I start walking towards the door.
"ha... There they go I guess that's the adventurer's life, wait for the books!".
Hearing a shout from behind, I start running towards the exit, I'm not cleaning up that mess, sorry Olga, I'll remember you as a hero.
Before leaving the archives, I get fully equipped, as the stingy church people have not given me a ring.
With that little incident, we make it out to the square, there is a big line for the church and many adventurers heading towards the guild to eat and drink.
"I don't want to be the one to say it, but, how are we going to find that guy, if we escape from Olga."
"It's day 5, we have to be at the wall, if not well we'll have to ask."
As we move through the central street area, I notice that there are more first healer centers than before.
"System habré my state."

"System why there are stats that have gone up without me doing anything."
"Intelligence increases your learning and learning increases your intelligence, then Faith has increased as you have been reading church stories and more to seek information."
"I understand then may my stats randomly increase as I do something."
Of course as I talk to the system I keep moving towards the wall, the sounds of cannons and gunfire have never stopped since I left the central square.
"System, place 5 points in defense, 5 in Agility, 4 in intelligence and the remaining 6 in equal parts between Vitality and Faith."

"Ok... It unlocks the skills ancestral blood 1 and 2, as well as moon weapon 3."

So my Hp now increases by +30, while my Mp increases by +40.
With that finished, we finally reached the wall, it was obvious that we were taking our time to complete the level up, climbing up the stairs, we reached the upper area, the cannons thundered continuously and gunfire followed them in between each volley.
"I see you have accepted my call, adventurer Nea."
With a voice appearing from behind us, he managed to see that the captain of the guard and Sophia are here.
"I don't know if I could know what you need me for, as I would be very interested in joining the defense of the city this last day."
With that he pointed towards below the wall, there are no traces of the white sand anymore, there are scraps of flesh, blood and weapons of different types and kinds, outside of that disgusting visit there are about 30 troll on each side of the wall, the wolves were changed by 2 meter spiders of ice blue color and 8 legs, 6 keep the spider's butt while the part of the face is raised like a human piece from where 2 arms come out from where they carry weapons made of ice (Nerubian Webspinner)
"I thank you on behalf of the city for your concern, that's why I had thought to call you, I noticed that you are good with the bow, something useful at this time that the stronger creatures are not approaching while waiting for something."
With that I look in more detail towards the battlefield, <eagle eye> using a skill that is putting mana in the eyes, he managed to see that in the vicinity of the forest large numbers of well commanded troops are gathering.
"So you want us to reduce their numbers, I really don't see much future in that plan, that one doesn't seem to be cannon fodder."
"Killing them, that's unlikely at best, what I want is to test them to see how much organization and intelligence they have under long range attack."
I guess it's believable, rifles have that drawback, they're not very useful over long distances unless they're made for that, even so why not use Sofia.
"You don't have Sofia with you."
"I want to test them, not show them my cards in my hand, even if this horde seems to be to be over and all well you always have to expect something unexpected."
Well, better for me, I can use this time they will provide me with free arrows to gain experience, still this is very rare.
"I understand then I will be at your service again today."
"That's the word boy, bring the arrows."
With an order, a soldier came out from somewhere carrying a black colored case and red patterns.
"Here are the homegrown arrows from the church of eternal night, I'm not going to tell you anything, just try them."
With that said, opens the case, inside are 5 arrows of a charcoal black color, their tip is a purple colored crystal and the wood composing it is crumpled in a spiral shape which screw.
He grabbed one and examined it quickly.
[dark arrow V3(consumable)]
[Optimal requirements:(n/o)
[Quality:(green=uncommon)
effect:creates a rain of arrows in the area of impact, this in turn creates Fe contamination in the vicinity. Description:mass-produced arrow from the church of eternal night, this is the more manageable and less powerful version 3.
With the arrow verified, I pull the bow from the back of my faithful companion Sif, if I start to help me halfway, as I can not with him.
"I guess the first arrow goes straight for them."
"Sure, and if you manage to flush out the leader of this horde all the better."
With that said, Placing my bow on the floor of the wall I begin to draw it, after placing the arrow, the mana particles in the surroundings began to be absorbed by the gem at the tip and before I knew it it was glowing with a mysterious color.
Shuu
With the air being scratched, the arrow comes out in a parabola striking the back of one of the mammoths near the forest, at that a purple glow quickly spreads over the ground, before I can think multiple sharp points come out from the ground and pierce through the nearby mammoths and other minions.
[Lvl +1]
[Lvl +1]
Surprised by that, I notice in my peripheral view the captain nodding towards Sophia, something is up with these two.
"That was... Unexpected for the arrows to come out of the ground."
"True yes, everyone expects a shower of arrows or something, the first ones do, but they are very destructive."
Poff
Dust and sand shoot straight up into the sky, hands and paws are now left in view of all those guarding the walls, corpses once dead rise once more to fight, at that from the forest clouds of snow begin to move this way.
"I guess the leader is outside, everyone in your positions!"
Quickly giving a few orders that were relayed to other sides of the wall, we prepared for whatever was to come out from the depths of the forest.
Wearing a long black robe that floats on the snow that is created in his path in his lower area, on his torso, arms and shoulders he is equipped with a deep black metal Armor that connects to the night, on his right arm is an iron mace that at its top leads to an orb of solid ice, on the left a full body shield of chunks of ice, iron and bones.

He's strong, his stats have multiplied x5, one for each day of the silver moon to power.
"This won't be a problem?"
"Relax at any inconvenience or need, there's the captain here."
Answering my question was Sophia, at all this no one has said the captain's name.
Sorry, no chapter tomorrow probably since it is a long study day, this chapter is twice as long as the others.... Maybe?
