Zongman: Don't move, Aisi, your family still owes me money

Livilia's throat rolled, a hint of nervousness appeared on her beautiful face, and the hand that was holding the corner of her clothes trembled slightly.

At this moment, she immediately recalled the scene that happened in the basement not long ago.

Although she was not completely ignorant about that matter, most of what she knew was hearsay and from books.

What if... What if...

If this young man made such a request, what should she do?

Just when Livilia was getting nervous, Merlin stated his conditions.

"Ms. Livilia, I want..."

Chapter 38 Is he really craving my body?

"Is this really all that's needed, young man?"

Livilia put down the pen in her hand and handed Merlin the paper she had just drawn with various magic circles recorded on it.

"Well, that's enough."

Merlin nodded, immediately picked up the paper, and carefully observed the magic circle on it.

Livilia, who was standing opposite, looked at Merlin's serious expression and felt some complicated emotions in her heart.

The boy didn't make such a request because she lacked feminine charm, or was he simply taking her feelings into consideration?

Just by drawing a few magic circles, he agreed to the long-term transaction request for this rare recovery item.

Until now, Livilia still felt that it was a little unreal.

Although, knowledge about magic is relatively precious and rare.

But what is actually truly precious is the magic book.

After all, a magic book allows the user to learn a spell permanently, so it is normal for it to be auctioned for a sky-high price of hundreds of millions of farthings.

Even Livilia, the strongest Familiar in Orario and the strongest magician among the first-level adventurers, could not easily afford such a high price.

If what Merlin asked for was really a magic book, Livilia would naturally not agree.

After all, this price is really too expensive.

You know, the cost of an expedition for their Loki group is only tens of millions of fari.

The price of a magic book is enough for the Loki Group to complete several expeditions.

In Livilia's opinion, although this all-purpose potion does have value beyond imagination, it is definitely not irreplaceable.

But even if Merlin asked for a few million faris, she thought it was normal.

However, Merlin didn't ask for a magic book, let alone a magic book, and he just made a simple request.

That is to let Livilia record on paper the magic circles of different attributes that she knows.

Yes, it’s such a simple request.

You know, when a magician casts magic, the magic circle will appear.

Different magic will cause different words and patterns to appear in the magic circle.

But all magic circles have one common characteristic, that is, even if the magic circle is restored and magic power is injected into it, the magic cannot be restored.

A magic circle is just a byproduct of releasing magic. Even without a magic circle, some adventurers can still use magic.

Because of this, no one has studied magic circles since ancient times.

Because the magic circle is meaningless.

This is common knowledge known to almost all adventurers.

However, now, this young man in front of him, who possessed exceptional talents, actually wanted a magic circle of a different nature.

What does he want to do?

Could it be that he intends to release magic through these magic circles?

All sorts of doubts arose in Livilia's mind, and her eyes were fixed on Merlin.

"What's wrong, Miss Riveria?"

"Is there something on my face?"

After Merlin put away the magic circle, he looked up and found that Livilia was staring at him.

"Oh no, nothing."

A blush flashed across Livilia's face. She quickly turned her head away, coughed lightly and said, "Oh."

"But young man, is this really all I ask for?"

"In fact, it is also possible to make more requests."

Livilia couldn't help but say.

As of now, what she took out is completely disproportionate to the value of the almighty potion.

"No, this is enough."

“It’s been a great help to my research.”

"And for me, it doesn't matter who I sell the potion to."

Merlin waved his hand gently.

"But if this kind of rare item could be sold on the market, it could fetch a much higher price, and..."

Livilia bit her lip lightly, feeling that she owed Merlin.

After all, if their Loki clan controlled this almighty potion, then it would naturally not flow into the market, and this would also virtually eliminate the possibility of the almighty potion being sold at a higher price.

Merlin interrupted Livilia before she could finish.

"Ms. Livilia, when do you need twenty bottles of the Almighty Potion? I currently have seven or eight bottles on hand. It will take some time to make them, so can you give me a deadline?"

"Huh? Oh, well if that's possible, could you give it to me in two weeks?"

Livilia calculated the time for the next expedition and said.

"Two weeks? That's more than enough."

Merlin said as he picked up the magic circle and turned back.

Looking at his departing back, Livilia felt extremely complicated. After all, no matter from which angle she looked at it, she had taken great advantage.

Just as Merlin was about to walk away, Livilia thought of something.

That is, until now, she has not mentioned the price of the almighty potion.

"Wait, young man, how much does the all-powerful potion cost?"

"How about I give you the money in advance!"

Livilia walked forward quickly and suddenly stood in front of Merlin.

After all, she is a first-level adventurer, so her speed is naturally very fast.

"Money? Ah, the ingredients for the all-purpose potion aren't that expensive, so Miss Livilia, just give me some hard work money."

After saying this, Merlin left without waiting for Livilia's answer.

This time, Livilia did not chase after him, but stood where she was, with a hint of helplessness and a bitter smile on her beautiful face.

"What a strange boy."

"When we first met, he seemed to be only interested in profit."

"But now, instead of taking advantage of this opportunity to make a killing, he just asked for a few magic circles."

"Why on earth is this happening?"

Livilia thought for a long time but still couldn't get an answer.

At this moment, an extremely fanciful and unrealistic idea flashed through her mind.

"Could it be that this young man... took a fancy to... Ugh... No, it's impossible."

"I'm an elf, I'm old enough... and..."

"Well, that's impossible... definitely not... but the way that boy looked at me from time to time before was like..."

Livilia's beautiful face was flushed with an alluring blush.

If anyone from Loki's family was present at this moment, their jaw would probably drop in shock.

Because the usually serious ice beauty Livilia actually showed a shy expression like a girl, how could it not shock people?

(After checking various sources and referring to the amount of money lost by the Loki Families after their expedition to the 59th floor, I've come up with a figure close to 100 million Faris for the 54th floor. I hope you all won't get too hung up on it.)

Chapter 39 Triple Enchantment?

late at night.

In the basement of Hestia's base.

On the bed not far away, Hestia and Lily had already fallen asleep.

Meanwhile, at the workbench, Merlin was finishing up the most important task of the day.

The refined light enveloped the workbench.

Under that light, streamlined green patterns appeared on the surface of the originally ordinary mechanical device, looking like a gentle breeze.

Soon the light dissipated and the refining was completely completed.

[Wind Magic Circle (Acceleration) enchantment successful]

[Maneuvering Device]: ...(Current Magic Circle 1)

[Wind Magic Circle (Speed ​​Up)]: Can significantly increase speed (50%) in a short period of time

After seeing this hint, Merlin's heart finally settled down.

"It's done!"

"It seems that the previous experiments on other items have greatly increased the success rate of this enchantment."

"Although the magic circle is useless to others, as someone who possesses alchemy, I can enchant other objects with the magic circle and use the magic that corresponds to it."

"And it's just a magic circle that accelerates, but it can actually increase the speed by 50%."

Merlin's face was filled with excitement.

You know, the speed brought by the original mechanical device is extremely terrifying. It is possible to fly a distance of nearly 20 meters in one second.

And now, with the enchantment of this acceleration magic.

The original speed of the maneuvering device was increased to a higher level.

"However, if the speed is too fast, it will become difficult to control, and my body is still a little too fragile. In addition to improving my ability points, I also need to consider creating a set of inner armor."

"It must provide a certain degree of toughness and softness while still being able to provide defense, and preferably also resistance to magic."

Merlin wrote down in his notebook the requirements and effects of the equipment he needed to make next so that he could find the corresponding materials.

"Alright, we have the device to increase speed. As for long-range attacks, we have the Magic Gun wielder. As long as we have enough magic stones, we can continue to suppress the enemy with firepower."

"However, if we face a super-large monster that is resistant to poison and has a very large HP pool, then the power of the ruler may not be enough."

"Even if you use items that reduce defense, if your own attack power is low, it won't make much sense."

"And sometimes there might not even be a chance to stop briefly, so a melee weapon is definitely necessary."

"We also need a killer weapon that can make the final decision at the critical moment."

"It needs to be as powerful as possible, and also be easy to slack off to a certain extent. Furthermore, it can pass through the magic circle..."

As Merlin thought about it, his hand subconsciously drew the structure in his mind on the blank paper in front of him.

He had previously made an upgraded version of the Fire Bottle, a prop that could release flames on a large scale.

However, the cost was too high, and the effect was not much better than the fire bottle, so he gave up.

But now, it’s different because we can use magic circles to enchant.
