Chapter 04: Egil's special item
A month has passed since i accepted the contract. My codename for the time being, was Viper. They gave me a set of armor, as well as some lone pieces so i could chose my equipment.
The set they gave me, was called "Ruo's-set". Combined, the set gave you a big boost in speed, agility, stealth, as well as detectiv ability. Well, since the set looked utterly shitty, i just used the pants, since they gave the biggest boost in the set, and were the least ugly piece.
Also, instead of wearing the face-mask they gave me, i decided to wear a half-covering face-mask that was also giving me a small boost in my detectiv ability.
For my target... My target had the name "Toffi". He has been sent to kill them by Laughing Coffin. He killed six people already. He was big, strong, but slow. So i had a good chance to kill him.
But before that. I had to check something out. There's been a rumour that there is an item that can permanently hide your red crystal and replace it with a green one. This isn't really usefull for my current mission, but i could use it in the future, so i don't have to farm potions to stock up on supplies. And if one person would have that item, it's Egil. So i went ahead and drank my last potion, and went straight for Egil's first shop on floor 24.
"Oi Mahoi!" I've been here a few times before to buy some rare stuff, so Egil already knew my name. "What're you looking for today?!" I couldn't say that i searched for something that hides my red player status, but i heard that normal players can only see specific infos on the item so i said "I heard that you got an amulete that gives you a small stealth boost but slows you down a bit, can i see that?".
That's what normal players are supposed to see, so i kind of asked him directly, but i really didn't mind, i just wanted to see if the rumours were true. When he took out the item, and let me look at it, my first thought was "Holy, fuck." . Not only did it hide your red crystal, but it also gave you a certain amount of boost in a wanted stat for every player you killed, making the effect 1,5x stronger when the player was a red player.
"I don't really think you would be interested in this considering you rely on speed" to this point, every time i was at Egil's shop, i always bought something to boost my speed and stealth, but i always declined items that slow me down for a little bit of stealth. "I'll take it" that may was suspicius, but i really didn't care. This item was like, it was made for me.
In the end, i bought it for 10,000 COL. It was not much considering the amount of money i had, but it wasn't really a low amount either.
When i was out of town, and back in the mountains, i put on the amulet. As soon as i equiped it, windows started showing up before me. I was allowed to chose eleven boost, one of every player i killed to that time. Of course, since it was all red player kills, each of the bonuses were multiplied by 1,5x.
Instead of distributing the skills, i put three points in stealth, and put the last eight points into speed. And with that. I was prepared for my first mission.
A/N: I just realized that i wrote Egil's name wrong... I thought it was written Aegil, so i'll go over all chapters i wrote up till now and correct his name for every cahpter... Considering i already got 8 chapters ready for upload... That's gonna take a while... Also i just started to rewatch SAO for the 5th time today.
