In A Parallel World With Random Skills, I Reluctantly Become A Mafia Boss?

Chapter 10: Information

"Hmm? Is that all? Well, it's fine. You've got yourself a deal. Although, we could just escape together after stealing the artifact. I also know a way out of the city. This is just between us, but a couple of the members of my 'Famiglia' is going to be waiting for me at the gate tomorrow night, so you could come with us. What do you say?"

Was this guy a mind reader!? No, I guess me asking about escape routes, and seeing me take the key would be pretty obvious if anyone thinks about it. In fact, that plan was better than going alone since I haven't even thought about what to do after I escape, much less leave the city. But..

"Let me think about it. I'll let you know after today. You let me know what I'm supposed to do later too."

Leaving those words, I swiftly use my skill again and move out of sight. The reason I hesitated was because of that keyword Dazel had said. I think about it while being ordered to shovel gravel into mounds and moving bricks, absentmindedly staring into the bright blue sky.

'Famiglia', huh..

When I moved my attention towards the ring attached to my right hand, perfectly embedded on my middle finger, I use <<Appraisal>> on the strange item. The result was..

Nothing. I could not read it. Even with my <<Automatic Language Translation>> skill, it still appeared as garbled letters and numbers. I repeatedly used <<Appraisal>> again and again, but it was futile.

The only conclusion that I could garner was that this ring that was left behind by the self-proclaimed god of darkness, was an item that couldn't be seen with <<Appraisal>>, meaning that it must have been a higher tier than what it could detect. Which in turn, means that another skill is needed to read it. But, I didn't know which one it was.

Using my game knowledge, I searched for skills like <<Identify>>, <<Describe>>, and some others but they were all lower tier than what <<Appraisal>> was. But I couldn't level it up because it was already at its limit. I needed more knowledge about this world because my common sense did not apply here. I gave up trying to identify what the ring was for now, and started taking out the piece of paper that was never hurt nor dirtied even after all this time.

The words after where I left off were like this..

Although the average level of the populace are small

Their inner strength is higher than those of your world

Very much so. I don't think you could even match them in a fight if you tried

Well, that's only considering your current state
