– 13 x Healing Stone
– 10 x Troll's Blood
– 5 x s.h.i.+eld Scroll
– 5 x 4th grade Mana Stone
– 15 x 5th grade Mana Stone
– 8 x Holy water
'I just need to buy this.'
Soo-hyuk, who wrote down all the items to buy, tried to calculate.
'The healing stone is 10 gold. The s.h.i.+eld scroll was 80 gold and the holy water was 50 gold.'
The calculation was not difficult. Because he already knew the market price.
'The problem is the troll's blood and mana stones… … .，
Of course it wasn't perfect. It was because of the troll's blood and mana stones.
In the case of healing stones, s.h.i.+eld scrolls, and holy water, the price is almost fixed.
It doesn't change as much. However, it is not the troll's blood and mana stones. The market price fluctuates constantly.
'If the price remains the same… …
The current market price that Soo-hyuk knows is Troll's Blood 90 Gold, Grade 4 Mana Stone 50 Gold, and Grade 5 Mana Stone 10 Gold.
'It's 2230 gold.'
What if the price stays? It would have been possible to purchase for a total of 2230 gold. Soo-hyuk finished the calculation and opened the inventory.
'I have enough.'
Soo-hyuk's current gold was 4825 gold, slightly less than 5000 gold. Even if the troll's blood and mana stones were more expensive than the known market price, they could be bought enough. Even if the fluctuation is severe, it wouldn't cause the price to jump by several tens of times.
Soo-hyuk soon arrived at the Healing Tower and closed the quest window. And headed to the store run by the tower.
“h.e.l.lo.”
“h.e.l.lo! How can I help you today?”
When Soo-hyuk arrived at the store, he greeted the NPC who also returned the greeting and asked.
Soo-hyuk answered the NPC's question by handing him the note.
“I would like to buy the ones listed here.”
“Oh, very well.”
The NPC responded to Soo-hyuk and received a note. And the NPC who looked at the memo paper told Soo-hyuk.
“The healing stone is 10 gold, the troll's blood is 100 gold, the s.h.i.+eld scroll is 80 gold, the 4th grade mana stone is 50 gold, the 5th grade mana stone is 10 gold, and the holy water is 50 gold. All prices I mentioned are per piece. Would you like to buy it?”
'Only the troll's blood is different.'
Fortunately, except for the blood of the trolls, the rest of the items were the same as Soo-hyuk knew.
'It's about 100 gold.'
100 gold was added from the expected amount. In the current situation, 100 gold was no problem for Soo-hyuk.
“Is it 2330 gold in total?”
“Yes that's right.”
The NPC nodded and answered.
“I will buy it.”
“Can you wait a minute?”
“Yes.”
When Soo-hyuk responded, the NPC picked up a memo and opened the door to the back and entered. And after a while, the NPC returned with a small box.
“Here you go.”
The NPC put down a box in front of Soo-hyuk. Soo-hyuk took 2330 gold from his inventory, handed it to the NPC, and put the box in his inventory.
“Good-bye.”
Soo-hyuk greeted the NPC and emerged from the Healing tower. Then, he used the box while walking to the second destination, the Library.
[8 holy water acquired.]
When the box was used, a message appeared, and the items in the box entered the inventory.
'Let's finish it now.'
Soo-hyuk closed the inventory and opened the quest window. Because the items were in the inventory, the [Complete] b.u.t.ton was activated. Soo-hyuk began to acquire the skill by pressing the [Complete] b.u.t.ton in turn.

[You have completed the skill quest 'Fast Heal'.]
[You have acquired the skill 'Fast Heal'.]
[You have completed the skill quest 'Activate'.]
[Skill 'Activate' has been acquired.]

Having learned the skills from Fast Heal to Activate, Soo-hyuk closed the quest window and opened the skill window to confirm the acquired skills.

#T/N: Now he's a tank too.

Soo-hyuk looked at his skill and thought.
'Isn't this enough?'
Including the previously learned Heal, Soo-hyuk has learned six healing spells. There were three spells to regain HP: Heal, Fast Heal, and Areal Heal. There was also a s.h.i.+eld to prevent attacks and the Blessing of Life to increase the maximum HP.
'There are five even without Activate.'
Activate was pa.s.sive. Only Soo-hyuk himself was effected. In other words, it was like a skill that others didn't have.
However, except for activation, there were still five. Five would be enough for dungeon exploration.
“There is also Yarion's Wrath.”
Plus there was Yarion's Wrath. Yarion's Wrath amplifies magical attack power by 3 times. The health regained with Heal was also based on magical power, so it would also increase threefold.
Soo-hyuk, soon arriving at the Library, closed the skill window. And after a long time, he opened the inventory and pulled out the 'Mage's Mark'.
“Here you go.”
Soo-hyuk, who took out the token, handed it to the NPC, the librarian guarding the entrance. Then he entered the library and started looking around the bookshelves.
It was to find the book [Introduction to Healing Magic], which was the purpose of coming to the library this time.
'There.'
Shortly thereafter, Soo-hyuk was able to find a book s.h.i.+ning in purple. It was clearly [Introduction to Healing Magic]. Soo-hyuk approached the purple book, and confirmed the t.i.tle. It was [Introduction to Healing Magic], and Soo-hyuk continued to look around the bookshelf with the book. He was wondering if there were any more books that changed color while he was gone.
'I guess the conditions aren't that easily achieved.'
He looked around all the bookshelves, but the only book that changed color was [Introduction to Healing Magic].
'Or is there not that much?'
It may be difficult to achieve the conditions, or there may be few books that give special quests. Soo-hyuk returned to his desk and began reading [Introduction to Healing Magic], with a slightly disappointed expression.
Arch Heal is a magic that summons the Archangel of Healing with the summoning magic to heal those within the range and apply various buffs.
'Can I summon angels too?'
Like [Introduction to poison magic] and [Introduction to fire magic], [Introduction to Healing magic is] also contained a special skill.
'I'm a complete priest.'
Healing wizards were very similar to priests. Soo-hyuk paused the book to check his skills and close the book.
[Wisdom rises significantly.]
When he closed the book, a message appeared. And Soo-hyuk opened the character window to confirm his wisdom.

Level: 204 EXP: 7%

Health: 111600
Mana: 85800
Satiety: 87%
Power: 40 (+10)
Agility: 35 (+16)
Health: 1108 [554 (+10)]
Wisdom: 4290 (+10)

The wisdom that was 3790 was 4290.
'It's a real jackpot.'
If he wanted to increase a stat by 500, one had to level up 100 times.
Even t.i.tles which raised a stat 500 were hard to come by.
Dozens of wisdom-related t.i.tles were needed. To that extent, 500 was a huge number. However, he got 500 points just by reading a book.
'I didn't receive less even with a higher level.'
The higher level didn't seem to impact the stat points gained. The [Introduction to Magic] series increased wisdom by 500 regardless of the level.
'It was a bit difficult to open it, but it is a good reward.'
Soo-hyuk got up from the seat. Then, after returning the book, he went to the entrance to buy it and got the badge back from the NPC.
Later, Soo-hyuk, who left the library, moved to his final destination, the Tower of Fire. While walking, Soo-hyuk opened up the inventory.
It was to check whether the items acquired while receiving the quest were ok.
〈Fabian's Letter [Epic]〉[No exchange]
This was Fabian's letter. The content was unkown.
〈Proof of Brinis, Chief of the Tower of Fire [Eternal]〉 [Cannot be exchanged]
It was a token of Brinis, the leader of the Tower of Fire.
'Goodbye.'
Fabian's letter and Brinis' token were well. Soo-hyuk moved both items to the first line and closed the inventory.
“A guild for fire wizards! Recruiting guild members from the land of fire. Beginners welcome!”
“Anyone who will sell mana stones cheaply! We only need 10 rank 5 mana stones!”
“Anyone who will sell mana stones cheaply! We only need 10 rank 5 mana stones!”
Soo-hyuk soon reached the Tower of Fire and went straight up to the second floor.
And Soo-hyuk, who arrived on the second floor, looked around.
'The fire tower wizard… …
It wasn't just to find the magic tower of fire. Soo-hyuk came to meet Brinis, the Chief of Fire, but he doesn't know where Brinis' room is or where to go to meet him.
Rather than wandering around and looking for it, it would be quickest to find a wizard belonging to the Tower of Fire and find Brinis' room.
That's why Soo-hyuk was looking for the wizard from the Tower of Fire.
It is not very difficult to obtain cooperation. Soo-hyuk had the mark of Brinis. There would be no wizard who would refuse to give the guide to the leader who had the leader's mark.
'It looks like that person's NPC?'
Soo-hyuk soon found a wizard guarding the entrance to the stairs leading up to the third floor. There is no way the user is guarding the stairs. The probability of being an NPC was high. Soo-hyuk approached the wizard guarding the entrance of the stairs.
“Excuse me… …
When Soo-hyuk approached, the wizard closed his mouth and opened his mouth. However, the wizard did not speak in the end.
“I came to see the leader of the tower.”
It was because Soo-hyuk pulled Brinis' token from his inventory. Seeing Brinis' token, the wizard stopped talking and looked at Soo-hyuk with a surprised expression.
“Sorry.”
Then he lowered his head.
“It's alright.”
Soo-hyuk, who did not think he would be told he was sorry, replied with a stroke of hand. And when the wizard raised his head, he continued.
“Please guide me.”
“Yes.”
At Soo-hyuk's words, the wizard turned back. Then he took the lead and started climbing the stairs. Soo-hyuk followed the wizard and climbed the stairs, and only after reaching the fifth floor they left the stairway.
It was then.
Flinch
The wizard who was taking the lead stopped up.
“…?”
Soo-hyuk looked at the wizard with a puzzled look. The wizard was looking ahead. Soo-hyuk also followed his line of sight and looked ahead.

Step Step Step… … .

A man was approaching from the front.
