Chapter 37: Power Inspection
Ragnar and Noah spent the following day after their successful training relaxing comfortably and preparing themselves for their hunting adventure.
In the morning, Ragnar strolled around the village and gave a short speech to the farmers to activate his Inspiring Orator skill. He then walked to the storage house to check if the monsterborns had been active overnight, and as expected there were signs of their activities. He also went to the stream to observe its surroundings.
On his way through the hamlet, he overheard the twins arguing—Noah had smartly denied his words from last night, and Merlina punished him, refusing to allow him to eat her meals for a whole week.
Ragnar found their conversation amusing, but he had so much urgent preparation to do and could not join in.
At midday, Ragnar exercised—he did several rounds of push-ups, sit-ups, and squats. Afterwards, he rehearsed the Starving Sword Dance a few times.
Before the afternoon ended, one of his people summoned him to a hut where a farmer lay with a profuse leg injury. Apparently, he had cut himself while weeding his farmland and was in so much pain.
Fortunately, Ragnar still had plenty of painkillers and some knowledge of treating injuries—he gave the farmer a painkiller and then cleaned his wounds carefully to prevent infection.
Thanks to his skill and the painkiller’s miraculous effect, the farmer was no longer in pain and Ragnar finally returned home safely.
He quickly fell asleep soundly, only waking up a few hours before the next morning arrived.
Sleepless and idle, he brought out the magic gem and began deeply meditating, managing to gain a few attribute points in his Spirit attribute.
