Chapter: 268

Before leaving, Jay used his loot skill on the deflated-looking pile of blubbering corpses.

“Damn, no soap rat tail…” he pursed his lips.

Jay checked around the perimeter once more, making sure he was safe before he unsummoned all of the skeletons, adding their blue bones to the ring and leaving the dungeon.


Jay exited the dungeon, stinking like a sewer once more.

“At least I’m not completely covered in filth this time…”

Jay headed back to Losla, smiling as he approached from the South side.

“Huh, there’s no guards this time? I guess they aren’t training today.”

Jay still didn’t know that the guards were there last time because of a monster report – the monster being Jay covered in grime after he first left the marsh.

Since Matheson had been regularly going to the stink-rat marsh, people grew accustomed to the filth-covered humanoids.

Still, after looking harder, Jay noticed one guard – but he was sprinting away, and at quite a fast pace.

“How odd…”

Jay made his way to the snakeraven inn, entering the building, he was greeted by frowns from everyone there.

“…not again.” Devin thought, seeing the filthy Jay walk into his establishment as he was at the bar, serving a drink to another customer.

“15 gold for laundry and the ruby-bath.” he pre-empted Jay’s order, hoping he wouldn’t come closer to the bar as he pointed towards the hallway..

Jay nodded with a smile, pulling out 15 gold and placing it on the counter before heading to the room. He remembered where it was so he didn’t need Tamara to come show him.

Devin poked his head into the kitchen.

“Tamar–”

“I know dad, I can smell him…”

“Mmh” he nodded and went back to the bar.

Devin returned to the bar, “Shit… where did my customers go…” he pursed his lips, leaving to get his mop and bucket after Jay left a small trail of grime.

Jay put his dirty clothes into a basket in the hallway and closed the door to his room, jumping straight into the ruby-bath.

“Ahh~” he smiled with half-closed eyes and fell asleep.

Jay marinated in his own juices for the next thirty minutes until finally he was woken by a knock at the door – his laundry was done.

Tamara simply knocked and left the basket of clean clothes outside the door. It was standard practice, but she really didn’t want to endure more of the smell he brought with him.

Jay sighed “Ah, I better go check on Trenly… then I can leave the business in his hands and focus on getting to level 10” his eyes glowed with anticipation.
