Chapter 106 Public interest
What will Kain do in the time that follows?
Kill monsters, of course.
Because of the previous order of the Salamander leader, the entire Salamander army had become scattered, and could no longer threaten Kain's safety. In addition, he knew the location of the Salamanders so he just eliminated each group one by one.
On the twentieth day since entering the Dungeon, all the Salamanders on the fourth floor were wiped out by him.
This gave Kain a huge amount of skill points.
[Heal level 5] 6/45 (+89)
All 89 skill points, all invested in [Heal].

Only now did Kain feel that his [Heal] level was on par with the [Heal] that Myra had cast before.
He wonders if she's improved.
When Kain returned to the Adventurers' camp, all of them were so shocked by his feats that no one could make a sound. Some wanted to quickly recover to help Kain in the fight, but the harsh truth was, all of them were just hindrances to Kain.
"Is this Magus?"
All Adventurers had the same thought at the same time.
Because they were Adventurers, it was not like they had never met Magus before, but the Magus they had met were relatively weak, and could not be compared to those who had advanced far on this path like Kain. As for mid-class Magus and above, a Magus of this level can completely become a distinguished guest of the nobility, be knighted and be worshiped. Or else, they can join the government forces. Very few Magus of this level would work hard in Dungeons like Adventurers.
But they also felt a bit lucky because of that, if powerful Magus like Kain went to compete with them for jobs, how would they live?
"Sir..."
In the Adventurer group, the only woman timidly spoke up.
Although Kain didn't want others to address him so formally, it was tiring to communicate with each other, but if these people were so persistent, then Kain had no choice but to put up with it.
It's also unfair to the Adventurers. How could they dare to call a Magus who can single-handedly wipe out hundreds of monsters on his own?
"If you don't mind, we can assist you in removing valuable body parts from the monsters. They will be reborn again anyway, so we might as well make the most of it..."
"Okay, let's do that."
Kain said casually.
He had not done this before, knowing that Salamander skins had economic value, partly because of the technique, and partly because it was too time-consuming.
But if someone else helps, there is nothing better.
Even though the Dungeon had swallowed a portion of the monster corpses, there were still dozens of Salamander corpses that could be used for skin. So that day, the five Adventurers worked hard to skin the monsters while Kain just sat there and focused on recovering his exhausted energy.
Through the constant consumption and regeneration of energy, Kain found himself far more flexible than the average Magus. His ability to expand and regenerate was astonishingly rapid.
Kain thought that this was probably also connected to the root of magic, the ego.
If all Magus were like him, most of the Dungeons would have been wiped out.
After a long day, a stack of Salamander pelts was neatly arranged before Kain. He took one out at random, one side of the pelt was hard and somewhat rough, as Salamanders were known for, while the other side was quite supple.
The outer surface is sturdy enough to take a strong impact, while the inner surface absorbs the impact and disperses it without causing any harm to the owner. With a texture like this, Salamander leather is indeed a good material for making armor or something similar.
And even though Kain was not proficient in leather, he could see that these pieces of leather had been processed quite well. As expected of an experienced Adventurer.
Many Adventurers also train their skills themselves, making them sometimes comparable to a craftsman, all to cut down on additional costs.
"Sir... this pile..."
"That good."
Kain nodded and placed the leather back in its place.
Receiving his recognition, the Adventurers were all extremely happy. But what Kain wanted to say next really surprised them.
"Okay, everyone take them."
"Wh... what? Sir."
"I'm not giving it to you. I want you to take this stuff and sell it to someone you know, understand? I don't have any business dealings and I don't care about this, but that doesn't mean I'm going to waste it."
"Once completed, you guys can take 40% of the profits and split them equally."
Hearing this generous price, the Adventurers almost knelt down to thank Kain. Before, although they had thought that Kain might share some money with them so that they wouldn't be left with nothing, at the same time they wanted to repay Kain. But they didn't expect him to be so generous.
As he said, he didn't mind this little bit of money, but in order to make the Adventurers no longer feel uneasy, this 40% profit figure both ensured that they would be able to have a lot of money, and also ensured that they wouldn't feel guilty because Kain had given them too much.
Kain did not hesitate to lend them a hand.
The Adventurers were filled with emotion. With this newly earned money, they could completely rebuild a new Adventurer team with new equipment and continue their Dungeon expedition.
And because of this fate, Andrew was also accepted into the Adventurer team. A result that everyone was happy about.
Of course, none of them would be foolish enough to not fulfill their promise and run away with the goods. After all, the most valuable thing they had, something far beyond all that money, was the friendship with a powerful Magus.
After fully recovering, Kain led the five Adventurers towards the last place on this floor, the guardian monster's room.
"Just stand outside and keep a close eye out. I'll be in there."
Kain finished speaking and pushed open the stone door and entered, much to the anxiety of the others.
