I Can Make Everything Level UP-Chapter 707: Total Control (3)
In any case, before giving him the opportunity to speak, he used Mind control again. Making him say everything out of fear was possible, but Billy didn't want to risk it. In any case, he confirmed that only the owner of the house and his wife knew about the experiment, but the guard didn't know where the blood had been sent to.
The skill Swordsmanship received 1500 experience points.
The skill Language received 23.000 experience points.
You recovered 50 points of health, mana, and stamina.
After killing the guard, Billy used Soul Absorption since he didn't test the skill until now. That was a pretty efficient way to get stronger, but it seemed a bit dreadful. Unless he was pissed or the enemy was an absolute scum, it would be difficult to use that skill on humans. He wondered if that was hypocrisy… but that was the price he had to pay if he wanted to keep improving to protect his family and friends.
Finding the leaders of that house was easy once Billy climbed and used the rear entrance of the place. The reason for that was the fact that the entrance was in the office of the head of the family, and his bedroom was a couple of meters away.
"Now I can see how Jeannette ruled with so much ease…" Billy thought. "If she had as much mana as me, only other reincarnated individuals would be able to resist her powers."
When Billy entered the room, no one noticed his approach since he unlocked the door with Earth magic. Without wasting any time, he opened the eyes of the head of the house, who was a beardo that looked like a barrel, and his wife… she apparently was half of his age and was tall and pretty slim.
"Never judge, never judge, never judge…" Billy thought. "Remember Billy, technically, you are at least fifteen years old then your wives… Mentally."
In any case, Bily used Mental Control on them, and their orders were simple: work as much as possible to make their state and their neighbors prosper and then cooperate with him when the time came.
"For what reason have you been using their blood?" Billy asked.
"We heard from a merchant that we could make powerful weapons using the blood of the tribesmen," The beardo said. "We heard that the same group that destroyed our capital was going to return and finish the job."
That wasn't true, and only one person would benefit from that… Uvish. Billy didn't know if that was something he came up with after learning that Billy would reach that area or if it was an old plan. Billy recalled that the king he killed was talking with a magic hammer… Now Billy didn't know if it was the creator of the hammer Speaking with their descendant or Uvish trying to fool them. That was truly annoying…
In any case, Billy learned where the items forged with blood had been stored and put those two to sleep again. To think that he had to do something like that dozens of times more made him feel like sighing.
After dealing with those two, Billy returned to the basement, and then he found that some of the tribesmen were waking up. He created a tunnel that would lead them to outside the city. Also, He summoned some Golems to connect the tunnel back to their village, it would take a few days for that to happen, but Billy had a lot of work in his hands, so that was the only option.
"I should make food for them. I guess those magic fruits will help them along the trip," Billy thought.
It was weird since Billy could make the magic fruits and the pills directly, but it was a waste of time since they consumed as much mana as they restored, at least for him.
"Hey, guys, I am your ticket to leave this hell hole," Billy said when all of the prisoners had woken up. "A man called Totaic asked me to bring you all back home, but I need to check the others. Take those fruits and follow that tunnel. You should arrive home in a few days."
The tribesmen didn't know how to react. They only stayed awake a few hours a day in the last months. They were always weak, exhausted, and hungry, and now someone was claiming to be there to help them. It seemed too good to be true, even if he knew Totaic's name… Still, what other choice do they have? Their opinions changed a bit when they few the guard dead on the exit of the place.
Everything about Billy seemed suspicious, but they decided to follow the tunnel and grab the fruits. He even put some lamps on the Golems' backs to make them see better, after all.
In any case, once they left the area, Billy sealed the mansion's entrance to the basement and made another tunnel to his next target. As usual, he felt the presence of a single guard and several prisoners…
In the end, on the first night, Billy managed to visit half of the targets. Unfortunately, he didn't feel like stopping just because of daylight. Thanks to that, he visited other dungeons, and when the guards were changing turns, he had to kill one extra target to kill.
At the end of the day, Billy managed to free around fifty tribesmen, and now he only had to deal with the heads of the families. Billy couldn't be bothered to do more of that work, so he sent his clones to do the clean-up job while he headed to the warehouse.
It was right below the middle of the city, and Billy couldn't help but frown when he saw a massive armory… There was enough gear to equip ten thousand soldiers… It was hard to believe that they managed to make that many weapons over a year and with the blood of only one hundred or so prisoners.
