The weapons included two steel swords and the rest were iron swords.
They had no empty skill slots and weren't particularly impressive.
I might keep one steel sword for emergencies.
There was also a rapier and a steel shield.
The pirate was equipped with a one-handed sword.
"A rapier?"
"Yes, it's a thrusting sword. Higher-level one-handed swords are more effective at thrusting rather than slashing, which changes the combat style slightly."
"Is Roxane okay with it?"
"Leave it to me. Besides, the rapier has an edge, so it can still be used for slashing as usual."
Using a rapier would probably involve fencing-like attack methods.
Since she can still use her usual style, it should be fine.
"Then the rapier goes to Roxane. The scimitar and iron shield go to Miria."
I handed the rapier and steel shield to Roxane.
Roxane passed the scimitar and iron shield to Miria.
When selling magic crystals at the guild, intelligence cards are not checked.
Thieves can also exchange them for money.
One magic crystal was yellow.
A yellow magic crystal is a valuable item, one step away from the final stage.
It indicates that over 100,000 monsters have been defeated.
It might even be worth more than the bounty.
"Um, it's a bit early, but we should go home and clean up. We should wash our clothes and maintain the equipment."
After gathering everything, Roxane suggested.
My clothes were splattered with blood.
My face might be in a mess too.
We should go home.
I couldn't fight while carrying the wrapped wrist.
My MP was full after consuming the rest of the strengthening pills and absorbing MP from the thieves.
I went home.
The eastern sky was brightening, and it was almost dawn.
I immediately took off my clothes and wiped my body in the bathroom.
Roxane washed my clothes next to me.
"Roxane, thanks for today."
We managed to defeat them, but engaging with the thieves was a mistake.
We were led into a trap.
If we had faced stronger thieves, the outcome could have been different.
I could have been more cautious.
When I first came to this world, I would have been more careful.
I could have retreated and monitored the entrance to the dungeon.
Why didn't I do that?
It was because I had become accustomed to fighting.
I had grown complacent, thinking I could handle it.
We did manage to defeat them, so my judgment wasn't entirely wrong.
In this world, getting used to combat isn't necessarily bad.
However, complacency is dangerous.
I should have been more cautious about the battle and the strength difference.
If I hadn't, I might have been caught off guard.
Victory is only the beginning; one must remain vigilant.
Today's experience will be a good lesson.
"What are you saying? It was a wonderful battle. Defeating thieves is a given."
Even if fighting is the norm in this world.
I left the bathroom and changed my clothes.
I organized the item box.
With the help of the three, I gathered and organized the equipment, making space in the item box.
We could probably manage without a cook for a while longer.
I combined the magic crystals left by the thieves.
Magic crystals turn white after absorbing the power of a million monsters, which is the highest level.
The magic crystal I had already absorbed the power of over 10,000 monsters, turning it green.
The yellow magic crystal left by the thieves contained the power of over 900,000 monsters, and my green magic crystal had the power of nearly 100,000 monsters, so there might be some waste.
I kept my green magic crystal and combined only the thieves' magic crystals.
The yellow magic crystal didn't turn white.
I'll keep the green magic crystal and use the yellow magic crystal in the future.
"Um, by the way, you don't belong to a guild, right?"
"That's right."
"At the guild temple, you can receive a blessing called 'fixed.' Once you receive it, you can't change jobs, but you become stronger. It's explained as a blessing from the guild's guardian deity."
There seems to be something called 'fixed.'
The guild has a temple because there is a guardian deity.
"Is there a guardian deity in the guild?"
"No one has actually seen them. Whether they really exist..."
She probably thinks I'm taking it out of the item box.
It looks similar to using the item box without a spell.
Is there someone else who can produce rings?
Fixed might be related to character reset and bonus points.
There is a connection.
The ability to produce equipment.
The inability to change jobs.
Bonus points increase with each level up, so using them means you can't change to a lower-level job.
There was one more thing.
Fixed is said to make you stronger.
Bonus points can be allocated to stats.
"Do you know what kind of equipment appears?"
"It varies from person to person. Some mages get swords, and some swordsmen get staffs. However, the equipment that appears when fixed always has skills. Sometimes, extremely good items appear."
That's a bit different.
The bonus equipment I can produce is only a sword.
It might vary from person to person.
"Is there a pattern to what kind of equipment appears for different people?"
"Generally, people who have excelled in a job for a long time are more likely to receive the blessing. They become stronger easily and are more likely to receive various equipment. Fixed is usually done when someone is considering retirement. Good equipment can be passed down as a family treasure."
It's not exactly the answer I was looking for, but it's understandable.
Is it random, or is there a rule?
The bonus equipment I can produce, like armor, is male-specific.
If a woman produces bonus equipment, it might be different.
If the Ring of Resolve appeared when fixed, it's probably related to bonus equipment.
Bonus points depend on level, so it's better to do it after leveling up.
The fact that people who have excelled in a job for a long time are more likely to receive the blessing is a piece of circumstantial evidence that fixed and bonus points are related.
