Chapter 4: Nerton Town

I drove the carriage to town without stopping, and I'm not sure if anyone was following me.

I arrived in town late in the night.

The town's outskirts look more like a village than a town, the infrastructure is still in disarray in some places, and there is only one guard at the entrance, who now is sleeping.

The walls are also in poor condition.

As I approached the gate, some people were taken aback by my carriage, and others tried to get a better look at it.

When I arrived at the entrance, a group of ten guards led by a middle-aged man approached me.

He hit the sleeping guard on his way to me.

The guard awoke immediately and stood by with the spear properly.

He nodded at him and approached me as I stepped out of the carriage, saying, "Lord, welcome to Nerton town, please show mercy as we are not prepared for your welcoming."

I can't blame them because they expected me to arrive in the evening, but I arrived late at night.

"No problem, don't make the same mistake again and show me the Lord's mansion," I said, holding a suitcase.

The suitcase contains the book the butler told me.

I put it in the suitcase from the square box hidden beneath the butler seat.

I looked around as I walked into the mansion.

People were returning home from work, and the town itself appeared to be a village.

When I arrived at the mansion, I took a look around. The mansion appeared to be a two-story building.

A handmaid in her forties approached me and directed me to my room.

She quickly showed me every room and the route.

i walked in to my room the maid followed around me.

"You can go now," I said, looking into her eyes.

The maid looked at me and nodded as she walked away.

I removed my shirt and pants, threw them on the bed, and wrapped a towel around my body.

I showered in the bathroom.

I wear my pajamas like clothes, I sat down on the bed.

I switched on the dim light to full light by a controlled looked like a modern day remote.

The magic is advanced in this world called Reyan, and the world is vast; there isn't even a map for a single continent, let alone the entire world.

Leaving that aside, I took the book from the suitcase and examined it carefully.

The book contains encrypted words. I don't understand the words.

When I was pondering what I needed to do, I activated the thread and looked to the book.

[When the blood soaked in the words and landed on the Zipathi tree plank, the words can be deciphered]

So the book's fate is that I must soak it in blood, and the blood must land on Zapathi tree plank.

Zipathi tree plank is one of the harder to find planks, but the suitcase I carried has that tree plank as its base.

My entire family uses these planks because they are smoother and provide a better experience than standard wood planks.

I took the bottom plank and set it on the table. I took a needle and pricked my finger.

The blood droplets that landed on the book covered the letters. As I lowered the book, blood landed on the plank.

Surprisingly, the blood formed a statement with letters that can be understood.

"Whoever wants to inherit the powers, offer a F+ monster to the book"

Suddenly a round hole appeared in the middle of the book. It had the appearance of a small black hole.

A F+ grade monster hunt is difficult for my body, which has no powers, but it is simple for the town guards.

I'll think about it later; I put the book in the suitcase and placed it beneath the bed.

I was exhausted.

I prayed for the butler and maid's souls while thinking about them.

Because of exhaustion, I slept with a mind full of thoughts.
