Marge was not kidding my experience bar had shot up to 455/1100 from about 345 since last i checked it . Of course I had beaten up the goblin as well. But i was still a lot closer to level 17

I checked the side of the barn and noticed a few items that Van had kept for my father. The goblins staff and spells book were on a sack along with a few pages of spells.

Van had also given me a bunch of basic combat spells and how to use them there was a note at the bottom.

Get Marge to optimize these spells for you. Bring your equipment with you the Goblin staff and the goblins spell notes. Your meeting Terrence at midday have all your mana ready. See me after dinner we need to go over your long term plans. There is some bread in the bottom of this bag. Its your breakfast. I have left a cup and container of water of water in there to get used to it.

Van could really be a jerk but at least I was learning. The bread was barely eatable. But if you soaked the bread in the water at least it would not break your teeth.

After a horrible breakfast i headed to Marges shop. Melissa was at the counter with Vivian. I walked over and Melissa glared at me “I am to have you make some poison and then we head off to look for a crossbow for me.”

Vivian looked at me “You do not have the identity skill yet?”

I blinked in surprise. Melissa gave me a mocking look “What did you think we were doing. Your learning all these herbs so you can build up your codex. Once you learn enough you will be able to learn the identify skill.”

I pulled out the shaman goblins Staff. “So what does this do?” Vivian looked at the staff “Well thats a rare piece. It has two effects i can see. A active Cast fireball three times a day and passive attribute a five percent increase to fire magic damage when equipped. There might be other effects but Marge will have to use a spell to identify them.”

Marge entered the shop and looked at the staff. “Alright that looks decent. Yours i take it?” I nodded Marge picked up the staff and cast a spell on it.

Marge looked at the staff “You have a decent item hear. You have the Sub Class Shaman Necromancer level 0. Cast the fire ball spell in this every morning in about a week your Shaman Necromancer class will level up. As a bonus you will be able to learn the first level of fire magic as well.”

Vivian grinned “Yeah I am a warlock and i borrowed some good equipment from Van. I managed to level up and gain the right to mage class in about a year. If i did not have the equipment it might have taken a three years.”

I starred at Marge and she nodded “Relax i have already written off to the mages guild. I will see if there is any equipment you can rent out. I doubt there will be any Necromancer equipment but there might be some shaman equipment.”

Marge looked threw my notes and turned to Vivian. “He has the Goblin shaman spell notes see if you can convert them into something he can use.” Vivian looked over the goblins horrible hand writing and started to copy down the words onto a sheet of paper.

Marge looked at me “Vivian will be minding the store i want your opinion on some equipment for Melissa.” I followed Marge until we got to the blacksmith. He smiled as we entered the forge.

Marge pointed to the crossbows “Describe the effects of each to me” I starred at the five crossbows “Those three are hunting crossbows called goblin Crossbows because they are used by archers to hunt Goblins. Those other two are what are called war Crossbows. They both are well made and have two slots so two bolts can be loaded at the same time.”

Marge nodded “So which one does my Granddaughter get?”

I starred “Have her load up the two war crossbows and test them.”

The black smith grinned his missing tooth actually made a whistling sound. His voice was heavily accented “My name is Boris take a look around young man. I will even help you gain Identify. Every weapon you correctly guess the age of increases your identify experience.”

I looked around Boris showed me the row of spears he was preparing. I grinned and lifted one. Boris laughed “good eye thats a beauty its for your friend Melissa. Let me show you its status window”
