The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 156: Ch 156: Plans

First Rein wanted to find a library to learn ore about this world. Especially about the history and geography. So he went out to find a library with Colinde. But he was disappointed soon afterwards. That was because Rein found out that there was no library present at least in this region.

Knowledge was judged to be very precious and the big clans and sects had a monopoly over them. The only way for common people to find books was by buying it from rare book stores. But the cost of a book was insanely high and normal people could not afford them.

So if Rein wanted to read books, first he needed to earn money. Without it his options were very limited. So for the time being he gave up on the idea of reading books and started to plan about how he should test his and Colinde's skills out.

He had already tested his furnace body a little bit and fortunately this skill was not as useless as the skill description made it out to be. Actually it could help Rein in many ways. What it did was simple. It increased the internal temperature of his body and made it to be like a furnace. But the important thing was the effect that it had on his body.

This increase in temperature actually made his body physically stronger. The higher the temperature was, the greater his strength would be. But there was a limit to this as his physical body was unable to handle very high heat.

Other than that there was also another backlash. When the heat increased his powers, that also made his metabolism to be very high. So Rein would need tons of food if he wanted to continue using this skill and that would again need a lot of money.

As for his last skill, Rein had not been able to try it out yet because of the limitation it had. His last skill Rain Gain could only be used when it was raining but unfortunately after awakening this skill, Rein had not come across Rain at all as it was not the rainy season. That was the reason why he had never been able to try this skill out.

So, what Rein wanted to do next was to ask around for information about an area where it might be raining even in this time of the year and at the same time he needed to find a job. For that Rein started to gather information from various people.

He was able to use his young age to ask many questions to mainly ladies who would have children of his own age and that way he was able to gather quite a decent amount of information.

...

With all the information gathered, he started to tell Colinde about his plans. She had a huge crush on Rein and had always been very obedient to him but at the same time she had a very tomboyish nature that did not match her cute face. So Rein decided to make his plans in such a way that Colinde would be able to enjoy it without feeling bored.

As children there were not a lot of things that they were able to do. They would try to help out in a shop but the pay was very low for that job and Rien's expenses would not be able to keep up with the earnings.

So the next thing that they were able to do was hunting and foraging. In this case, the amount of money they would be able to earn would completely depend on their ability and luck and there was a high chance that they would be able to learn a decent sum with this. So that was exactly what Rein was planning to do. It would also be good for training.

Rein was planning to join the Divine Scale Pavillion in the future. But the reason why he was still not going there was because this sect normally allowed new disciples to join only after they were over 15 years old. Obviously there could be special cases but that would put too much attention on him so Rein decided to take the slow and steady approach.

He his whole lifetime to gather enough achievement points so becoming hasty would not be good.

For the time being Rien was planning to train himself and Colinde up. The place where he wanted to go was already set but that was not the case with Colinde. She would not be able to join the Divine Scale Pavillion but she could join the Grand Warrior Sect that was a subordinate under the pavilion and were specialised in hunting demons.

But that would not be the best choice for Colinde. There were two more places which would be better suited for her. They were the Nine Hell Sect and the Demon Slaying Division. Those places would be able to give Colinde a better environment to grow.

But for the time being, he and Colinde were not going to worry about it. They have five years to prepare and Rein was going to strengthen themselves as much as possible in that time period. While he was asking around he was also able to find just the best spot that would be very beneficial for his training.

There was a mountain range few tens of kilometers away from that city which had a climate where it always rained. For that reason this mountain was barren and almost no one went there. There were also rumours of demons being there so everyone avoided this place with all their might. So this truly was a perfect spot for Colinde and Rein to train.

For the time being Rein was going to train Colinde in swordsmanship. Just like magic, with the absence of aura, weapon arts were unavailable in this world. But still improving swordsmanship was always better and it would increase Colinde's powers quite a lot. m _v,l_e _mp|y|r chapter

Her ability allowed her to manifest a sword and would boost her powers against a demon. But as they had not come across a demon, Rein was not sure how much boost she would be able to gain. He was also not very sure about extra details of her skills and he needed to do more experiments to learn about it.

...

After telling Colinde all this, she immediately became overly excited. She always had the dream to learn about swords and to beat up bad guys. So she was extremely happy when Rein decided to teach her about it. In her excitement, she did not even realise that Rein knowing about swordsmanship when he had never even touched a sword in his life was very weird.

But for the super excited Colinde, they were minor details for the time being.

After that both of them retired to bed. There were two beds but Colinde decided to sleep together with Rein. It was actually not a problem as both of them were actually only 10 years old and very small in structure. So sleeping in a single bed would not be a problem. Rein even decided to change their room with double beds to a room with a single bed as that would be cheaper.

So from the next day onward, they all would be able to focus on earning money and getting stronger.
