Her frown deepened, not liking the implication.

This Quest had called up everyone in a hundred kilometer radius. Of course, it was possible to just directly ignore, but then you wouldn't get any details, nor would you get the compass leading here. There was also a penalty involved for accepting and then flaking in the end, though this penalty wasn't worth your life.

"You think it's one of them?"

"I don't know. It could be a coincidence, they could have gotten the information through other means, or any number of things.

"There's definitely the possibility that there were some who ignored the Quest that could use where it pinged them as a clue for which areas to check on.

"You said it was 100 kilometers, right? That's quite a large area… but it's not impossible, given the strength of those people."

"How strong were they?"

"Level four. F-level threats. Two of them." As he spoke, he took out their equipment and placed them down. They were useless to him as well, so he might as well pass them on to Cassarae as well.

Cassarae took a breath and exhaled slowly. She took a moment to gather herself before she spoke.

"You really don't need to give me these, you know. Don't treat me like that same little girl. I have a little strength of my own, you know?"

There was a hint of irritation in her voice, but Sylas knew it wasn't really aimed at him.

"If you have a method of trading them in, do so," Sylas said. "I'm not giving them to you out of pity. I just quite literally can't use them."

Cassarae's frown returned. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Sylas held up his hands. "I can't take these off. They're bound to me. I can't unequip them, and while they're in my possession, I can wear any armor or wield any weapons."

Her eyes widened. "No way, I've never heard of something like that. Is it a really powerful item, then?"

Sylas blew out a breath and shook his head. He wished.

"It just gives plus ten percent Constitution, and only on my fists. I'm not even sure it would apply if I used a palm attack or something like that."

Cassarae fell into her thoughts. +10% Constitution felt weak but… if it was a permanent stat boost like it seemed, it could very quickly roll into something much more substantial.

Now that she thought about it, she had never seen a treasure item give a percentage boost at all…

The only reason Sylas brushed it off was because he had two methods that gave him far better and far more permanent stat boost. So many of his Titles gave better boosts, while his Comprehension current gave +150% and +200% boosts to respective stats.

It was hard for him to take +10% seriously, especially since it was just to a single stat.

"I don't know what you've gotten yourself into, but that's kind of gross." Cassarae looked at the blood-soaked wraps in mock horror.
