The discussion finally finished. The screen in the transmission mirror gradually turned blur until it completely became a normal mirror.
The brothel manager was protecting the room this whole time, preventing anyone from coming in to disturb Albert. So, she was still unaware of Albert's change of status, or she would be shocked to know the person before her was actually Lilith's fiance.
After the mirror turned back to normal, Albert exited the room and said, "I'm done here."
The manager greeted him while taking a peek at the mirror inside. Since the connection was disconnected, she immediately asked, "Do you want to do anything else here?"
They were in the brothel, so she wondered if Albert had any intention of spending some time with the girls.
If Lilith heard her fiance was invited to have some fun in the brothel right after their engagement, she might kill her.
Albert chuckled and waved his hand. "Nah, it's fine. I'll just go back."
"Understood." She led Albert to the exit and personally saw him off.
Before going home, Albert decided to visit another place. He had already planned to do this since yesterday, so he went there in haste.
After ten minutes, Albert finally arrived at the shop and entered.
"Hello. How may I help you?"
"I want 5-Star Spellbooks. As for the elements" Albert thought for a moment, wondering what he was lacking at the moment. He had movement type, body type, and attack type.
What he was lacking was a binding type that could restrain his enemy's movement. This would be useful if he wanted to support someone.
"The elements are Light and Dark."
"Certainly." The clerk nodded and gently pointed at the stairs. "You can go up first. I'll bring the books for you."
Albert gave him the money and walked upstairs. He sat on a chair and waited patiently.
The clerk came up and handed the books a few minutes later.
Without hesitation, Albert opened the books and searched for a binding spell.
But to his surprise, he found not a binding spell but a spell to increase the body's performance.
Skill: Frenzy
Effect: Stimulating the magic power inside the user's body to increase the user's physical and magical abilities. After using this, the user can release 120% of his abilities for five minutes. But the user's body will not be suited in combat for a day.
"Hmm." Albert frowned as this was the first time he saw this mission. "This is the first time I see a skill like this. There's a price to pay, but releasing 120% of your ability
"I heard from someone that the human body barely worked in 60-80% of its true ability. I wonder if this 120% of my ability is the real 120% or the 120% of my current power?" Albert frowned.
[Instead of relying on something unknown to that, I have something better for you.]
"Oh? It's rare for you to offer something like this, Bonkey."
[Because there's a mission that I want you to take.]
"A mission?"
Mission: Defeat a Harem Protagonist
Reward: Raging Bonk Release
"Huh? Harem Protagonist? As in the main character?"
[Just a nickname. According to Bonk Network, I have found that you'll find the Hero summoned from another world. Defeat him.]
"Well, in a fairy tale, it's true that the hero is always the protagonist"
[It's just a nickname. He's by no means a true protagonist He just looks like one. More importantly, he's surrounded by beauties. During the fight, he might even flirt with them. Your job is to make him return to the basics.]
"Seriously?" Albert's eyebrows twitched, not expecting to hear this from Bonkey. "Anyway, if he's horny while we're fighting, I guess I don't mind bonking him."
[Yes. You can just consider him as a mini-boss or something.]
"You sound like a video game right now."
[It's easier to explain it this way.]
"I don't play video games though. I only watched people playing back on Earth, so I might not understand you."
[I'll explain it in detail if you are still confused.]
"Okay. Good enough." Albert thought for a moment and asked, "What's about this Raging Bonk Release?"
[Similar to that Frenzy Skill, but your body won't be able to move for only half a day. The effect is also a true 120%. Meaning, you can increase your power up to two times of your everyday ability.]
"Oh?!" Albert's expression brightened. "Is this some sort of special mission?"
[Something like that. I should prepare a special mission for important people.]
"Fair enough." Albert nodded with a serious expression. "In that case, I have another reason to visit the battlefield. Lilith should have informed the people around there too. I won't participate blatantly so as to not get my life being targeted."
[That's entirely your choice.]
"Yeah, I know. Anyway, I need to continue to find some skills to exchange. I have so many Bonk Bites after all." Albert smiled, feeling a bit excited.
After browsing the books for fifteen minutes, Albert found two skills that piqued his interest.
Skill: Dark Restrain
Effect: Summon several chains to capture a person.
Skill: Sacrament
Effect: Ritual to lower a person's ability
Without hesitation, Albert spent his Bonk Bites on these two skills. Their description soon changed to suit his Bonk Style.
Skill: Bonk Restrain - 195 Bonk Bites
Effect: Summon several chains with a Bonk Bat as a weight.
Skill: Bonk Sacrament - 210 Bonk Bites
Effect: Ritual to lower a horny person's ability.
"I guess this is to be expected," Albert muttered while the information was transferred into his head.
However, he soon widened his eyes in shock as he realized he had underestimated the spell. Both of them had a practical use, and their power was quite strong too.
He wouldn't be disappointed by these two skills. That was what he got from the information in his head.
"I see. This is rather interesting." Albert smirked. He browsed the book for another half an hour, finding a third skill if possible.
While reading, Albert asked, "By the way, what is Bonk Network, Bonkey? Can this Bonk Network detect this harem person? Hmm, I am not good with this term, so I want to ask first. Harem is similar to polygamy, no?"
[Yes. Harem is the same as polygamy. As for the Bonk Network, you'll be able to get it soon After your disciple can graduate.]
"Is that so? How does it work?"
[It's not that much. There are three main features of Bonk Network. First, it's the communication skill. It's similar to a phone but with a spell. You can talk with your subordinates or disciples through this.]
"That's pretty convenient. Since Yale wants to stay together with his woman a bit later, I won't be with him. This way, I can talk to him even if we're apart."
[Yes. As for the second feature, it's where you can place missions and other stuff for your disciple and subordinates. I'm sure you know this by heart. In terms of status, Yale is at the top. Then, Jessie, Bepe, and the others follow in second place. The third place is the pixies and everyone similar.]
"Yes. Although I don't want to classify them as such, I guess it's a kind of intimacy."
[For this second feature, you can end directly the information about the mission like how you get the information from the spellbooks.]
"I see. That's pretty convenient. I can also talk to them through the telepathy feature, right?"
[Yes. That's correct.]
"How about the last one?"
[The last one is a secret. You don't have the authority to access it. As for the reason, it's because this feature affects the world itself. If not, how do you think I can know whether a hero will appear or not?]
"Ehm, you're not playing with me, right?" Albert's eyebrows twitched.
[Of course not.]
He felt a bit disappointed with the answer, so he wanted to confirm it again. "So, this one is like Heaven's secrets or something"
[Something similar. It's a kind of clairvoyance. But if you know about it, it might affect the future too.]
"Then, is it alright for you to know about it?"
[I'm a system I don't even have a life. So, there's no problem with this.]
"Now that I think about it, you always have a mission for me at the right time. Did you know what I would do at that point?"
[No. It's rather complicated. Just think about it as something like an alarm and such that warns you about something important.]
"Ugh. I don't really understand. Whatever. I'll take my time to learn more about you." Albert paused for a moment. "I mean, there are people stronger than Lilith in the other continent. If I go there, I'm bound to get stronger. There is also your creator I feel like the stronger I become, the more I know. That's why I won't push myself to get all the information right now. Instead, I'll discover it gradually."
[Thank you for your consideration.]
"Hehe. Don't you feel lucky to be stuck with someone like me?" Albert grinned.
[Yes.]
Albert chuckled. "Anyway, I'm done learning from here.. It's time to go back and prepare for war."
