Chapter 264 Occupation Disappears

"E-Naeura"

Re-Estize Kingdom's southwesternmost city, known as the "Harbor City," boasts extremely prosperous trade and shipping routes, even allowing direct sea travel to the Holy Kingdom.

At this moment.

The "Free Will" adventurer team is residing in the city's most luxurious hotel, causing quite a stir upon their arrival.

Merchants and nobles are always the most perceptive, essentially due to their access to information far surpassing that of ordinary people.

The value brought by merely strong adventurers is limited.

However, the value represented by a "genius alchemist" capable of creating alchemical potions that no one else can is beyond question.

The impact and monetary gains caused by the "Regeneration Potion" in the royal capital have long made countless nobles and merchants envious.

Faced with the arrival of "Free Will," these merchants and nobles naturally vied to visit them.

Minori had already returned from the hilly area, with someone disguised as him occasionally making appearances along the way.

However, more detailed matters such as visiting the Adventurer's Guild and interacting with these nobles and merchants required his personal presence.

After wasting the better part of a day.

Minori finally extricated himself from these trivial matters and returned to the luxurious hotel with the Verdant Witch and Enri.

Inside the room.

"Master, here's some warm boiled water." Enri happily handed over a cup of water.

Minori took the cup and nodded slightly to Enri: "Well, I plan to stay here for a few days, so you'll have to work a little harder next."

Naturally, the Verdant Witch and Enri had no objections.

"It's you who's working hard, Master."

Enri said softly, her eyes filled with admiration and concern for Minori.

Most of the time on the road, Master was researching alchemy in the carriage and rarely appeared. Compared to simply running errands.

Enri felt that Minori was the one who worked the hardest.

She, as the salesperson, personally handed those cheap alchemical potions to the poor, knowing that the potions Master made helped many people.

However, no matter how hard one person tries, they cannot save all the poor.

Master is powerful enough to summon holy angels, and also possesses amazing alchemy skills to create cheap potions.

Since joining "Free Will," Enri had seen too many things along the way, and many previously confusing and incomprehensible questions gradually became clear, and she even learned to think.

Because of this.

From the bottom of her heart, Enri felt that Master was the best person in the world, and the only thing that troubled her was not being able to help Master better.

After listening to some of Minori's instructions, Enri and the Verdant Witch left the room.

"Creak—Crack!"

The door closed.

Minori raised his hands and rubbed his temples, gently exhaling: "These troublesome little things are finally resolved."

With the experience from the royal capital, Enri and the Verdant Witch could handle things with ease.

He got up and walked to the window.

Minori took a sip from the water cup Enri handed him, gazing out the window, a thoughtful look flickering in his eyes.

The current matter is still the Abelion Hills.

With only about three years left.

Minori knew that the slow approach was not suitable for him.

Controlling a region or a country was not his ultimate goal either, and he would not put himself in the spotlight before the "Great Tomb of Nazarick" descended.

"Martial King" Go Gin was Minori's chosen demihuman who could be pushed to the forefront to control or influence the entire Abelion Hills.

Minori had many purposes for doing so. The script he was currently constructing was not limited to the Abelion Hills.

As the central area between the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy, these two countries were also in his script.

One of the main purposes was to establish contact with the Slane Theocracy under the guise of the "Free Will" adventurer Minori.

This "contact" could not be initiated by him, but rather by the Slane Theocracy.

"There are too many characters in the script, and the actual trajectory may not necessarily follow the script, but as long as the main storyline doesn't go wrong, I can improvise the other things."

Minori's eyes flashed, and he smiled calmly: "After all, I'm just a minor character in this script, at most a slightly dazzling one."

He had received a lot of advice from Princess Renner, much of which was completely impractical or too time-consuming for him, but some could be applied.

"Just."

Minori's gaze lowered, looking at the bustling streets and crowds outside the window: "How much of what I'm doing now will actually work in the future?"

He shook his head.

"No matter how much it works, I have to do it as long as there is a trace of effect. The cards I can play are ultimately too few, and some things cannot be solved by force alone."

Minori turned around, and with a grab in the air, a crimson magic robe appeared in his hand.

The next moment.

He had already disappeared from the room.

The Abelion Hills area does not have a very complicated history. It is said that it was once ruled by a kingdom established by a group of Hill Dwarves.

Unfortunately, it was eventually destroyed by various demihuman races, forming the current chaotic hilly landscape.

Throughout the hilly area.

There are many different races, and even the demihumans in the hills may not be able to fully understand all the races. However, 12 of these races have the largest population and the most powerful individuals.

Besides these 12 races.

There are also several races that are extremely famous in the hilly area. These races are either small but powerful groups, or solitary individual powerhouses.

The Troll Water Elemental Mage is one of them.

In addition, there is also an Earth Elemental Troll, Snake King, Guardian Spirit, and Beast-bodied Quadruped.

At this moment!

Located in the Troll Water Elemental Mage's stronghold.

There are about 100 ordinary trolls gathered.

In front of these trolls, three figures are standing, an Troll Water Elemental Mage with a blue-green body.

An Earth Elemental Troll with dark, brownish-earth-colored skin.

And the "Martial King" Go Gin at the very front.

The presence of three high-ranking species made the 100 or so ordinary trolls not dare to make any moves, honestly standing in place waiting for orders.

"Can't you guys take a bath? It stinks."

The Mist Witch sat on a large tree to the side, her bright yellow pupils looking down at the group of crude fellows exuding a stench, covering her nose.

After Minori subdued Go Gin and the Troll Water Elemental Mage, he had them bring the Earth Elemental Troll, who was as famous as the Troll Water Elemental Mage, over as well.

This was the reason why the Earth Elemental Troll appeared here.

"What does that man want to do?" Go Gin asked expressionlessly when he heard the Mist Witch's words, coldly opening his mouth, "You must address him as Lord!"

The White Mist Witch leaned forward, correcting him.

"Hmph." Go Gin snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt as he faced this strange demi-human who was monitoring them.

wom wom—the air vibrated.

A red, mysterious figure appeared out of nowhere in front of everyone.

"Are there so few trolls?" Minori asked in a strange, hoarse voice.

In the hills, the number of trolls and goblins was no less than that of some of the top tribes, but their low intelligence made it impossible for the trolls and goblins to form an integrated tribe.

Even in the eyes of some other demi-humans, trolls and goblins were completely regarded as ordinary magical creatures.

"These two are loners, it's already good enough that they can gather a group of trolls around them." Go Gin said indifferently, but his pupils contracted.

Although the Troll Water Elemental Mage and the Earth Elemental Troll possessed a certain amount of intelligence, they simply had no intention of subduing ordinary trolls.

As superior species, in their eyes, they were not even the same race as trolls.

"Fools."

Minori sneered.

With the nature of trolls and goblins, as long as these two superior Elemental trolls were willing, they could easily subdue all the trolls and goblins in the hills.

With such a large group of people, coupled with their strength, they would have the power to compete with the 12 races.

Minori's thoughts moved, and the attribute panel appeared.

[Experience Bar: 1 / 460000]

[Overall Level: 48 → 47Lv]

[Ninja: 2Lv → 1Lv]

Not long ago, he used experience points to cast a spell again, and his level dropped again by 1 level.

"Human!"

"It's actually a human, you two actually submitted to a two-legged bug! Roar!"

When the Earth Elemental Troll saw Minori appear, he roared loudly.

He originally thought that those who could make strong individuals like Go Gin and the Troll Water Elemental Mage submit would be other strong demi-humans, but he didn't expect it to be a weak human.

"Oh, I overestimated your intelligence after all, even as a superior species, you still don't have much of a brain."

Minori looked at the Earth Elemental Troll, who looked similar to the Troll Water Elemental Mage: "Since you're so noisy, then you don't have to speak in the future."

"Charm!"

An invisible magical wave surged out.

The Earth Elemental Troll's roaring voice stopped, unable to even struggle, and his eyes instantly became dull.

Minori's current spellcasting level had reached the tenth level, although it was a fake spellcasting level without any bonus, the opponent couldn't resist it when facing a low-level opponent.

"Cut off your own tongue," Minori said indifferently.

Without hesitation, the Earth Elemental Troll grabbed his own tongue and cut it off, a large amount of blood spraying from his mouth.

The intense pain caused the Earth Elemental Troll's face to become distorted, and his body trembled, waking up from the charmed state and howling on the ground.

Seeing this scene,

Go Gin and the Trolls Water Elemental Mage's expressions changed, and then, their eyes contracted.

They simultaneously felt a terrifying aura emanating from Minori's body, and the air seemed to suddenly become heavy and viscous.

The Troll Water Elemental Mage was terrified.

Go Gin even subconsciously took a step back, tightly gripping the wolf-fang club next to him, looking at Minori opposite him in disbelief, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"How can this aura be—"

Go Gin's breathing was rapid, and at this moment, he felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he could be killed at any time without being able to resist.

[Experience Bar: 1 / 410000]

[Overall Level: 47 → 46Lv]

[Ninja: 1Lv → . — . — .]

As he used the ability of "Transcendent Skill," his level dropped again in the blink of an eye, and along with it, the [Ninja] profession disappeared from the attribute panel.

Minori, who had been using the passive ability of "Hidden Aura," lost it along with the [Ninja] profession from the passive ability.

His aura was exposed in the first moment, forming a terrifying pressure!

"Fourth-level magic requires consuming 200,000 experience, and the experience bar after the level drop still only has one point. It seems that the experience consumed by experience spellcasting will not cause a two-level drop as long as it does not exceed the upper limit of the experience bar."

"The profession is gone, does the passive also disappear along with it?"

Minori had been paying attention to the numerical changes on the panel, and finally had a deeper understanding of the skill "Transcendent Skill."

"You lead the way for them," Minori said to the Mist Witch, and as soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared.

"Yes, Master," the Mist Witch hurriedly said respectfully, then looked at the nervous Go Gin below with a smile:

"Hehe, are you only now realizing the difference in strength between you and Master? Big guy, take the stinky guy behind you and follow me."

On the other side,

Minori had already arrived at this quiet place in the lava area.

He confirmed the information on the attribute panel again.

"The profession and the passive have indeed all disappeared," Minori's eyes were serious, and after carefully observing, he confirmed it again.

This result was not disappointing, but rather an expected situation.

"Wait, haven't the skills disappeared?"

Minori moved his gaze down and suddenly discovered that the series of skills from the [Ninja] profession were still there.

'Discovered the skill "Ninjutsu · Shadow Dive", requires high-level profession [Ninja], current conditions not met, requires 3 skill points'

'No pre-requisite intermediate profession, conditions not met, requires 6 skill points, no basic profession, conditions not met—·'

'"Genius" profession activated, already has basic profession "Thief", learning conditions met, accept job?'

'Discovered the skill "Ninjutsu · Detection", requires high-level profession [Ninja], current conditions not met, requires 3 skill points'

'No pre-requisite intermediate profession, conditions not met, requires 6 skill points, no basic profession, conditions not met.'

[...]

Minori looked at the job information that was refreshed immediately after on the attribute panel and fell into silence.
