Chapter 28: Magitech
While Terry was working to build the shop of the guild with merchandise, he also hunted some camps in order to build the weapons that his guild members would use after a while. During that time, he confirmed that the bow could surpass level twenty and he also was enough to get a skill, but it wasn't an ultimate one like the hard gloves and the spear had.
(Triple Shot: consumes three charges to fire three arrows at the same time at the target, causing the usual damage plus twenty percent per arrow.)
"It is a pretty good skill... it would have been even better if the number of charges increased," Terry thought.
Around the same time, Terry decided to pass his spear to Rebecca, he barely used it, and since she goes hunting with the others often, it would work well on her hands. It would advertise to everyone that the most loyal members of the Stormscallers also could get those items to use.
"Are you sure?" Rebecca asked.
"Yeah, even if you have a lot of mana, your defensive skills, and your physical attacks are low. They should cover those problems," Terry explained. "Rather than that, have you heard anything recently?"
"I heard some rumors that a new dungeon appeared in New York as well, but when I asked the people in the government office, no one confirmed or denied it," Rebecca replied.
"Keep an eye on rumors about people leaving the city in large groups, even at night. That should create some rumors," Terry said. "If we hear about them, then we can confirm that Louis and his pals are playing favorites with the other guilds."

"What if we don't hear anything?" Rebecca asked.
"Then it will mean that either the hunters from there managed to clear the dungeon or the officers are asking people from other areas to help," Terry replied. "I should be able to buy a military aircraft soon, and that will grant us some extra mobility. Speaking of, are you keeping an eye on the best Hunters of the guild?"
"Yes, some of those that awakened after joining the guild has some useful traits, and those made them stand out," Rebecca nodded. "Things are starting to stabilize, and I think we won't find many problems since most of our members really are afraid of you."
"I don't remember doing much aside from walking with the head to scare them," Terry said.
"That was plenty," Rebecca said.
Terry confirmed after a few days that his guild members truly were fearful of him. They avoided eye contact, and when he looked at them for too long, they would begin to sweat coldly.
That was useful to impose respect, but it was a bit troublesome since Terry needed to be somewhat close to the strongest guys... Regardless, around the time Terry was thinking about that, someone troublesome showed up at his guild. It was Louis.
"Well, things certainly improved faster here," Louis said while looking around and smiling. "It had been a while, Terry. How have you been?"
"What is it?" Terry asked.
"Always straight to the point like an arrow," Louis shrugged, unfazed by Terry's attitude. "Today, I have come with an invitation for you. You must have heard that a new dungeon showed up in New York, and it is quite troublesome. Unlike the others that took some time for monsters to come, that one began to pour out creatures of the dungeon on the very same day. So, the government decided to deal with the matter as soon as possible to avoid future problems. To be able to do that, we invited several guild masters that are nearby to join the expedition." freewebnoveℓ.com
Rebecca, who was nearby, nodded after hearing that. It was the next step that Terry had mentioned. It was their chance to expand their influence and power even more. Still, it seemed that Terry wouldn't be able to use his guild members. So, aside from a mission to protect New York, it will also be a competition between guild masters.
"What else do you know?" Terry asked.
"We can't spread panic, and we can't spread classified information, so we can only tell what we know to those that agree to join," Louis said. "An aircraft will leave for New York in two days, and there you can be informed about the situation if you decide to join, that is all."
Louis left after saying that. While Terry was thankful for it, his dramatic exit had only the goal of luring him for the mission. Terry was going to accept it anyway, but he truly hated Louis' games, he operated like he was some sort of genius, but he was just annoying as a kick in the balls.
"It seems things are going according to your plan," Rebecca said.
"Not exactly, I didn't imagine that they would call only guild masters for this," Terry explained. "They either want to measure our powers in action, or they want to make us cooperate more often in order if something happens in the future."
"Well, things will be fine here if you stay away for a few weeks, everyone can borrow enough weapons daily," Rebecca said. "I highly doubt that the other guild masters will let go of this opportunity to obtain a new dungeon. That also would damage their reputation if you leave for the mission. So, I also doubt that problems between the guilds will happen."
"... I will buy the newest cellphones that work with magic stones, that way, you can inform me if something happens," Terry said.
"Ah, those models... are a bit weird," Rebecca frowned.
The government managed to develop some cell phones recently that used magic stones, and they worked while reading the spare around them and emitting to the other side. It was basically a method of communication that used holograms... Terry wondered how they could develop something like that so soon... but the real problem was the cost. Half a million each... but they could be used whenever, and each magic stone made them work for five minutes... Terry had to pay the price.
