NOVEL NEXT Chapter 35 End of My Adventure (3)
Chapter 35 End of My Adventure (3)
Since I have no desire to become a viscount, nor the right to obtain that seat, I have no scruples about returning home two months early, rather than staying for the entire stipulated nine months. It would be a bore to stay here for that long and I already reached my goals anyway.
Though the status of a person is private and can't viewed through normal means, there are special ways of observing another person's status. This is the reason why I decided to stay in the forest and look for a way to block such probes.
It took me months but I was able to find a way to disguise my true status and project a false one for others to view if they used their special means.
Like those special means, this skill that I came across that can block other's probes and show a false status is determined as a Special Skill by the system.
This was not the first special skill that I came across. Rank Booster was a special skill too, which has no levels showing, probably that was because it was level max or there is only a single level, I have no idea. There was no mention of these special skills in the database.
Sure the database is seven months old, but I as far as seven months ago, there was no special skill or was it restricted due to my rank? Man, this rank restriction of knowledge is really impeeding me. I need to find a way to overcome this hurdle without revealing my true rank.
The special skill that is going to help me, I obtained by chance. I have to thank the bandits that I encountered more than a month ago.

A month and a half ago...
As usual, I was running through the woods looking to hunt monsters, while my clones were far away doing their own things. Now I can summon ten clones, which started to push the levels of the skills faster but there were too many skills and the mind skills can't be upgraded here easily. They had to wait until I returned home.
So leveling up, practicing the skills that can be upgraded. This was my routine, until today.
I came across a group of bandits treading deep into the woods. The usual policy was, if you run into bandits kill or flee. Those are the only two choices, don't hesitate. They didn't spot me, so I hid from them. They appeared weak, and I could have easily eliminated them but I chose not to.
Bandits don't do deep forests. There would be nothing for them to pillage. No villagers, no merchants who would pass through. None.
So they would choose forests, but that is in between cities so that they can attack and reap from the travelers. There are no people to reap here. So it has made me intrigued.
I followed them deep into the forest until they reached a waterfall. They disappeared behind the waterfall.
A cave, there was definitely a cave behind that waterfall. This must be their base that was hidden deep in the woods. They made quite a nice base in the forest, which everyone fears. I doubt this is where everyone is, but I bet they use this to store their valuables.
I should check it out.

Present Time...
I did check that cave out after those bandits left. I clearly saw that they looked different from before but they were the same. When I entered the cave a few minutes later, I did find the treasure hoard that was safely stored there.
There are a lot of attires, including that of city guards. I then concluded that some guards colluded with bandits or they themselves were bandits but that has nothing to do with me. Those are not from my family lands.
As I said before the forest borders a lot of territories. I would just warn my father that there were a lot of bandits active in those regions and need to increase guards in the borders.
I took the treasures and left behind the waste. Among those treasures, I found the skill book, Status Disguise. In fact, there were three Status Disguise skill books. I used one and kept the other two for future use. There were a lot of goods that when sold would make me rich but I decided to hold onto certain items as these were all pillaged and would be considered as Black Market goods.
I can most of these items but unless I needed money, I decided to keep the items. Who knows when I would have a use for those items? Money can be easily obtained, unlike items, which are always in shortage.
Anyway after I left that cave, I leveled up as usual and reached this stage.
Now, let's check what my new status looks like this.
