Volume 2 - Ch 4.02
So far, according to my personal knowledge the merchants that can use Calculate include: Slave Merchants, Weapon Merchants, Armor Merchants, Clothes Merchants and Innkeepers, although I dont know if the Innkeepers Job allows him to use it or perhaps he also has the Merchant Job. As far as I know, if people dont have any of the aforementioned Jobs, they wont be able to use Calculate, meaning that my 30% discount will become effectively useless when doing business with them.
If the merchant possesses the Calculate Skill, my discounts will work without any problems, and the Skill itself is a passive one that triggers whenever a calculation has to be performed in ones mind, presenting you with the right answer straight away, factoring in the percentages from any increases or decreases the Skill in your possession might be giving you. Moreover, even though it is always active it doesnt use any MP. There is no need to use Calculate when you buy and sell things separately, because the numbers and their value wont change. 1 Nar is still 1 Nar, 100 Nars is still 100 Nars. That must be why my 30% discount didnt work, because when you buy and sell multiple things and the clerks Calculate activates, the Prize Discounts Skills activate as well. Well, it is nothing more but a hypothesis, but knowing that might actually come in handy in the future.
Once our buying business was completed, we were ready to go back to the Labyrinths second floor, this time for real.
Stay vigilant, master. The enemy is really close by.
We went forward with Roxannes guidance, and soon we saw it, our first monster encounter on the second floor. Appraisal!
Needlewood Lv.2
Bah, what a killjoy. The first enemy we have run into on the new floor was the same Needlewood that was prowling on the first floor, except this one had a higher level. I wonder it is going to become a pattern where the enemies stay the same but their levels will progressively go up with each floor? But I must admit, a part of me was genuinely happy that the level of that monster is only Lv.2. That means we should expect Lv.3 monsters on the third floor and Lv.4 monsters on the fourth floor, right?
But the most important question for now is: how much stronger did it get now that it is Lv.2? To test it out I attacked it with Durandal, and it died after a single blow, just like its brethren the floor below. It might have became stronger when its level went up, but in the end, when faced with the might of my Durandal it was still not enough to save it from being one-shotted. Also, I think the fact that I am much stronger and my levels are much higher in comparison to when I first entered the Labyrinths first floor might have something to do with that as well. Or at least I want to think that it does. Then, I noticed something.
Roxanne, look. Isnt that another monster, right there in the shadows?
Its a Green Caterpillar. It is a monster native to this particular floor. It is a rule that aside from the new ones, the monsters from the lower floors may also be present on the higher ones.
I wonder if we will always fight pairs of enemies here.
I said after the finished battle.
Most likely. But we might as well happen upon just one enemy.
Huh. So, do you think that when we will go up to the third floor, we will fight a maximum of three enemies at once?
No. Based on what I heard, groups of three enemies start appearing from the 4thfloor onward, and from 8t floor onward there will be groups of up to four enemies at a time.
Thats a relief to hear.
So going with that tendency, there would be five enemies starting from the 16thfloor, am I correct?
Yes, you understood it perfectly. That is exactly right. You are such a swift learner.
That is nice to hear, but it doesnt change the fact that the further up we will go, things are only going to get scarier and more difficult. Even if the enemy numbers wont be increasing by one per each floor, we will have to face groups of three on the floors 4 through 7, and groups of 4 from 8thfloor upwards. And if the Labyrinth will be big enough, we will probably have to face groups of 5 different monsters from the 16thfloor onward, and six from the 32ndone. And that one makes me more than a little worried. Hopefully this Labyrinth wont be this big.
Well, there is no point worrying our asses off with such a distant future. For now we only have to deal with a maximum of two monsters at once, so when the time comes for us to finally take on larger groups, hopefully we are going to be richer and stronger, and capable of taking on any number of adversaries without breaking a sweat.
