Chapter 205: - Ivana, Let's Go Hunt
That day, Broken received news from the knights that someone was waiting for him in the garden.
Who could it be? he wondered.
Clearing up his work, he hurried out of the blacksmith workshop and headed to the garden. There, he saw a woman sitting on a long iron bench, dressed in a white gown with a straw hat and carrying a wooden basket.
"Ivana?" Broken thought, puzzled. How could Ivana get into the castle grounds, with all the tight security?
He quickened his pace, and soon Ivana noticed him coming. She stood up and waved enthusiastically. She had a cheerful smile when he reached her.
"Good morning, Broken... Are you surprised to see me here?" she said with a giggle.
"Good morning..." he paused for a moment. "How did you get access to this area, Ivana?"
Ivana chuckled softly, covering her mouth with her hand. "Yesterday, Sir Lionell came to see me and told me I had been granted permission to deliver food to you once a day."
"Really? Sir Lionell?"
Ivana nodded. "Maybe it's because of your good reputation and the value of your skills to the palace. They must have trusted you enough to let me in, too."
Broken fell silent for a moment, recalling his conversation with Princess Alora the previous day. Could it be that she granted Ivana permission after hearing about his daily meals from her?
Previously, Ivana would leave the food she brought with the guards, who would then deliver it to Broken. This arrangement was due to Knight Lionell mentioning Broken's name to the guards stationed near the gate by the blacksmith workshop. But today, Ivana had come directly into the castle grounds.
Broken smiled and nodded. "I'm happy to see you here," he said.
They then sat down on the iron bench, and Ivana quickly opened the wooden basket. The aroma of the food wafted out instantly.
"Roast meat?" Broken exclaimed, suddenly feeling hungrier and eager to dig in.
Ivana giggled. "Booba and Freya helped me hunt in the forest, so I was able to gather enough quality ingredients for this dish," she said enthusiastically. "They love my cooking and always finish it, as do some members of the Ass Guild. So I keep cooking for them."
Broken chuckled softly. "Hearing you mention Booba and Freya helping you hunt sounds funny, while I'm sure you wouldn't get a scratch even if you went alone."
He paused for a moment, noticing the puzzled look on Ivana's face. "But of course, they love your cooking. A chef with your skills should be paid handsomely if working in the palace, yet you give your meals away for free?"
Ivana shook her head. "No, Broken... I don't give it away for free..."
"Then?"
[Name: Broken]
[Level: 107]
[Class: Unique - Super Novice | Unique - Royal Blacksmith]
[Health: 2,680 | Mana: 3,108]
[Strength: 525 | Agility: 304 | Intelligence: 274 | Constitution: 218 | Stamina: 220]
[Charisma: 100 | Luck: 35 | Dexterity: 50 | Survival: 30 | Perception: 20]
[Available Stat Points: 250]
[Weight: 1,983/3,150]
While enjoying the food Ivana had brought, Broken took a moment to check his overall stats, something he hadn't updated in a while. He noticed that his level had increased since he last won the competition. However, he felt that his progress had slowed down, even though it had been three weeks since the competition ended.
Curious, Broken decided to spend all of his available stat points. He thought carefully about the best allocation he needed. After a moment of contemplation, he took a deep breath, realizing he truly needed a high Intelligence stat to cover the Mana deficit from using his high-tier skills with his Legendary weapons. Additionally, a higher Intelligence would boost his Magic Damage, which was essential since the Wavebreaker Spear dealt Water Elemental
Magic Damage.
He then decided to balance his stats in a way that would ensure the final damage output he
desired.
[Health: 3,080 | Mana: 4,188]
[Strength: 565 | Agility: 344 | Intelligence: 364 | Constitution: 258 | Stamina: 260]
[Charisma: 100 | Luck: 35 | Dexterity: 50 | Survival: 30 | Perception: 20]
Broken was quite satisfied with the end result. Although his Constitution and Stamina values
still lagged behind, at least his mana pool had increased dramatically.
Next, seeing his updated stats, he remembered that he wanted to test his improved combat
abilities against monsters. What if he spent some time hunting?
With renewed enthusiasm, he reached out and grabbed Ivana's hand, momentarily surprising her. "Ivana, let's go hunt," he said.
