Chapter 92: Miner (4)
"Tell me ya strength and dexterity stats first," Saku said.
Jake replied, "Strength—587. Dexterity—792."
Saku nodded, "Okay! I'll match them to make it fair and square! Now, close combat is what everyone should learn, including miners, archers, and mages! Ya can't tumble down and put your fate to luck when a swordsman or monster closes the distance on ya, right?!"
Jake replied louder, "Right!"
Saku grinned, "Haha! Good! We must take matters into our own hands and protect what's precious to us! Our parents, women, children, ores, and lastly, ourselves and our rules! It takes a lot to be a man!"
"Right!" Jake nodded, his mood taken over by Saku's presence and rigid rules.
He didn't have any woman or child to protect, but he understood where Saku was coming from and his words' crux. He was a good man from blood and bone!
