Chapter 128
"I'm just nobody. I'm really impressed that you discovered my disguise."
"That was really third rate disguise."
That imposter laughed then she coughed repeatedly spitting blood over Ibro's face then she said:
"Don't think you have won. Winning one battle doesn't mean winning the war."
"I don't need a scum like you to teach me about war."
Ibro then removed his sword and then hit that imposter cutting her head from her body. There was nothing special about this enemy except her unique ability. Ibro suspected her by chance.
Mony never walked side by side with him; instead, she always walked behind him with few steps. When he suspected her he decided to ask her that question where she made her second mistake.
Ibro didn't hesitate to attack her and all the men behind her. He didn't want to take any risks.
"What happened my lord?"
"Nothing Hoden. It's just a lousy assassination attempt."
"I advise we get some soldiers to protect your safety, my lord?"
"I totally agree with general Kogin advice. But we shouldn't select soldiers, we select generals to protect you, my lord."
Ibro was about to argue with them but Hoden interfered immediately as he said:
"I strongly advise you, my lord, to head by this advice. Let's select two generals to guard your safety. You are the only pillar on this village that should never be allowed to fall."
Ibro couldn't argue with that logic. If he was killed then this village would lose its owner. He would lose everything. He was still at level 0. His death could cause severe consequences. He shouldn't take this risk especially after walking all this distance. He agreed to their advice by saying:
"Ok, choose two generals and make them guard me. I will go now to the back garden then enter my room later."
"I will personally choose two of the best generals we have in our army."
"Thanks for your trouble general Mamor. Hoden please check on Mony and make sure she is safe. Bring me her news in the garden."
"I will do it now."
Ibro then moved to his room. This assassination attempt didn't affect him at all. He just knew that his enemy wouldn't stop at anything to try and take him down.
This enemy was trying hard to kill him. If he wanted him dead then he must make sure he would kill him too. He knew he couldn't face his true enemy yet, but he should kill anyone who was sent by this enemy of his.
That would be the last thing he could possibly do for now. He decided to focus all his energy on making Odd runes. He passed his room and went to the back garden.
This garden was the place he used to open his trophies. He decided to name it the trophy garden in the future. He stayed in the middle of this garden and started by the old treasure wooden boxes he got from the underground monsters.
These boxes were like previous ones, filled with gold coins, different scrolls, soldiers' tokens, ores, and weapons. Ibro stored everything into his Inventory.
He then started to open the newly acquired copper chests from the ring Mamor gave him. He took out one chest and opened it in curiosity. This chest was like the previous chests in size but its cover didn't get damaged like those wooden covers.
Ibro used his strength to move this heavy cover which fell on the ground. Ibro then looked inside this chest. It was orderly organized like the previous ones.
The first section was also full of strange coins. Ibro took one coin and inspected it carefully. This coin was larger than a gold coin and heavier. It was made of strange ore.
It was shiny golden silver-white ore with a smooth clean surface without any writing at all. Ibro flipped this coin in his hands before he observed it.
"Pure coin: Copper grade pure coin. The player can use this coin to establish his own currency system. For other information, the player can ask an economic saint."
Ibro looked strangely at this coin. This was an ownerless coin with no info at all. He could use this to establish his coin system. What he didn't understand was the importance of such a system.
He could use gold coins, why should he go to the trouble of establishing a coin system? And who was this economic saint? Could he buy this in the market?
He thought of paying another visit to the market, but he had a tight schedule. He had no time to lose. He looked at all these strange coins and decided to ask Hoden later about them.
He stored these coins then he looked towards the second section. This section was full of defensive buildings. There were nearly 20 defensive buildings there. He took one of them and observed it:
"Tower of fire: Defensive tower copper grade. Can cover an area of 500 meter. Any enemy that enters its range will get attacked by balls of fire. It can attack up to 100 targets at the same time. It causes fixed damage of 10k per hit. Needs to kill 10k enemy to upgrade to the next level."
Ibro felt happy about such a high-grade defensive tower. He looked inside the box to find there were 10 defensive fire towers and 10 ballistic defensive type towers.
These towers would help him a lot in the upcoming battle. He took them out and put them in a corner of the garden. He then looked towards the next section. They were weapons of copper grade.
It seemed that weapons in these treasure boxes follow the grade of these boxes. He stored them in his Inventory and then looked for the next section. There were strange books there. Ibro picked one and observed it:
"Stealth skill book: use this book to learn stealth skill. Assassins and thieves classes only. Adventure mode players only."
Ibro felt weird. He had over 100 skill books here. What was the use of these skill books to someone like him? He couldn't use these for himself as he was a lord mode player.
He couldn't get any benefit from them as he didn't have any players under his command. Was this a sign from the game for him? Did the game want him to establish his own guild?
He felt confused about these books but he stored them nonetheless in his Inventory. He then looked for the last section in this box. He found soldiers tokens but this time it was captain class tokens.
Did this mean if he managed to obtain a higher grade treasure box he would get general class tokens? Ibro stored these tokens as he was amassing a huge number of them in his Inventory.
He then stored that box in his Inventory and started to open the rest of the copper boxes in the garden. During his work, Hoden had come to him with Mony.
When they found him busy opening the boxes, they waited silently in the corner. After he finished the 100th box he noticed their presence. Once he looked at them Mony rushed up and said:
"I'm sorry, I was busy supervising the work at the pyramid and I didn't know about what had happened till Mr. Hoden came to me."
Ibro smiled. She was the usual Mony he knew. He said in a calm tone:
"Don't worry. I have killed that imposter."
She still looked at him with sorrowful eyes. Ibro looked to Hoden and remembered those weird coins so he asked:
"I have got something strange from these chests. I don't know what their uses are so I want to ask you about them."
"Can I see these things, my lord?"
