My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills

"Why do people boast?" Without waiting for the officer’s response, Schneider continued, "It’s often because they aren’t impressive enough on their own, so they brag about some past experiences or events."

"But Mr. Raine’s adventures, people in the bar are already promoting them every day. Isn’t this effect much better than boasting himself?"

After saying these words, Schneider also breathed out a sigh of relief.

After all, when facing Viscount Henry and Commodore Gregory, the sense of oppression from their power and influence was quite strong. Even if Schneider wanted to talk back, he couldn’t actually say anything powerful.

But facing others was different, the feeling of talking back to a Royal Guard Officer was quite satisfying.

And for a moment, the others were rendered speechless, and the journey continued pretty peacefully.

A few minutes later.

"We’re here! This is the place." Schneider pointed ahead and said.

The group looked towards the direction he pointed, and they saw a vast expanse of ice in front of them. Although there was quite a bit of snow on it, the extremely flat terrain immediately made one realize this was likely a lake surface.

"Did you have a battle here before?"

"Yes, the other side was something called the Bone-Biting Squad." Schneider recalled.

"Hmm! Thank you, Captain Schneider, for your hard work. You may return now." Commodore Gregory recalled the bronze squad names under the ’Nightmare Blade,’ nodded, and said.

"Oh, alright!" After greeting Benest and Baron Olsen, Schneider turned and left immediately.

For Schneider, he naturally could see that these few from the Royal Capital seemed not to want him to know the secrets beneath the Ice Lake.

In fact, he was also self-aware and didn’t want to get involved in such high-level unknown events.

Earning money steadily and steadily improving his strength, isn’t that appealing?

However, Schneider had only walked a few minutes before he suddenly turned back to look.

Because he heard a powerful and deep roar coming from the Ice Lake behind him, belonging to some kind of giant beast!

...

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Adventurer’s Association in Mill Town.

"Huh? Mr. Benest invited me to go to the Ice Lake together?"

"In the name of the Kingdom, in the form of an association mission. That’s not bad, and since I’m going to the Lankote Snowfield anyway, I might as well take a look."

As for the Solenar Ruins and the Necromancy Crystal, Raine was honestly a bit curious.

Of course, if he were to lead, or if he were to investigate alone, Raine would most likely refuse, given the unclear situation of these ruin explorations and the high risk.

But this time, with the Soladin Kingdom’s team leading, and with familiar people like Benest and Baron Olsen present, it’s not a bad idea to check it out.

"Miss Liya, how long will it take to confirm this solo promotion task?" After thinking it over, Raine asked.

If heading to the Icefield, he might as well complete the promotion task at the same time.

"Mr. Raine, I’ve already submitted the application for you. I think there will be a response soon. However, the exact time is hard to say, maybe half an hour, or maybe half a day."

Raine nodded, already very satisfied with this efficiency.

Since it’s decided to go, he’ll need to prepare for the adventure next.

"Mr. Raine, are you continuing with the task? I see your Courage Set is a bit damaged. Coincidentally, we just received a new Courage Set here at the branch, the same size as the one you’re wearing now. Do you want to pay a little more and get yourself a brand-new set?" Liya smiled and said.

"Oh? That’s a good thing." Raine raised his eyebrows, a smile appearing on his face.

Originally he hadn’t thought about this, as repairing armor usually takes at least a day.

Replacing it directly, though it costs a few dozen gold more, is nothing to him at the moment.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Raine, there’s one more thing. The mithril you asked the association to help collect, we have now collected over a kilogram. It should all be gathered in another two days."

"Such high efficiency?"

"Yes, with the association’s trading channels and the slightly above-market price you offered, collecting it was relatively fast."

And just after Raine put on the brand-new Courage Set, Liya happily approached and said, "Mr. Raine, your promotion task is out."
