Chapter 143
Chapter 143 of "Chaotic Craftsman Worships The Cube" starts unveiling mysteries: Falk was understanding enough, even if he was going to take a few weeks off... Keep reading!
Falk was understanding enough, even if he was going to take a few weeks off it gave him time to focus on some of his own tasks he couldnāt complete with Ben around, and to the residents of the world it made sense for an apostle to fulfill the requests of their gods.What mattered was telling Thera. He wasnāt sure how sheād react given that her relationship with them all was rocky, especially Skoe, but hoped that things would be fine overall as he explained what had been asked of him.
ā...So anyway, thatās what Myriad wanted me to do, Iāll be gone for a few weeks to try and deal with all that nonsenseā¦ Unless youād want to join me?ā
There it was. It didnāt matter if she said yes or not, heād be fine on his own. All that mattered was putting the offer out. They were a team after all, theyād promised to work together to solve their problems. Even if she was sure to decline given the people involved, he wouldnāt rush off without even asking, and while he was dealing with this she could focus on improving her magic or reading some medical books to improve her knowledge skill.
āAlright, when are we leaving?ā She asked, leaving him dumbfounded.
āToday if we can. I was going to book a carriage after I asked you, but are you sure? I know you arenāt exactly a fan of them and we may be stuck together for a while.ā
āI think the entertainment of seeing them imprisoned for a bit will be worth it so Iāll start packing. Need me to get you started while you get the carriage sorted out?ā
āUh, no I should be good,ā He told her and walked off to get them a ride.
He was able to get one without much issue, and they went on their way. Thera brought a few books to pass the time while Ben spent the time working on his enchanting, doing his best to get as much practice as he could while only having the magic rings heād taken to always wearing, as well as the skills that existed within him.
Heād gotten a fair amount of job experience in the past few weeks considering some of the oversize enchantments heād been able to make, as well as the fact that he was able to experiment using so many different skills compared to other enchanters thanks to his connect, and he didnāt want to lose that momentum by treating this time as a break.
Even if he didnāt have all of his boxes of rings with him, he could use it as a chance to learn about enchanting with magic to an even deeper degree, although it would be more exhausting than compared to working with a skill not tied to his affinities.
It was a fun thought, but heād have to put in a lot of work for training the skill, especially since it was so hard to determine what jobs gave bonuses to a given skill unless it was obvious. Sure, connect still had the bonuses associated with it from when he had worked on completing the priest path, and it was guaranteed minor ones now that he was an enchanter, but would it also be getting the main job bonus as well since the way he used the skill was so tightly linked to his enchanting? And for that matter, what about his crafting job bonuses? He was fairly certain that enchanting received them since it was counted as a crafting skill, but what about connect? Even though he used it so closely with enchanting now, he hadnāt started to treat it that way until the end of his craftsman job, would that have any effect, and were the skills that qualified for a bonus dependent entirely on how he used them?
Heād tried asking Myriad once but was essentially told it would vary by the jobs and skills involved, the only way to be sure was to check both with an awakened analysis type skill, an extreme rarity for someone to possess. He could try to look for someone who had one by throwing some money around, it would probably be better than just blindly hoping that his skills would work out the way he wanted, but it would likely cost him a small fortune as well.
By now the majority of Myriadās believers had the skill. So long as they were practicing hard then in a few short months heād have a nice passive income as well. Thinking about all that, he would have to spring for a faster carriage on the way back. No point spending extra days on the road when his time was valuable. Of course, since he had the time he could also start fiddling with ideas on alternative means of transport for the future.
He asked his god, his interest fully piqued.
The gears turned in Ben's mind as he gave that some thought. Despite how common they were, he was fairly sure bikes had only been invented a couple hundred years before he was born, making them reasonably modern compared to how simple they seemed. He was certain he would be able to create one without much problem, it just created a single question in him.
He expected it to be the sort of question that Myriad would need to search a bit for an answer, but surprisingly he could tell him immediately.
