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

"So, Livilia, where did you get this all-purpose potion? Well, how much more can you get?"

"Also, how much does this potion cost? Eight hundred thousand? Well, a million faris is within the affordable range."

Facing Finn's barrage of questions, Livilia smiled wryly and touched her cheek.

"Finn, I haven't asked the other party the questions you asked, so it's hard for me to tell you."

"However, that person said that he could provide this almighty potion just for our family. Before the next expedition, together with the seven bottles we have now, he could trade us a total of twenty bottles of the almighty potion."

"Twenty bottles?"

After hearing Livilia's words, Finn's pupils contracted sharply and his breathing became faster.

Originally, he thought that it would be good enough if he could just keep the seven bottles in his hands, but he didn't expect that the number could almost triple.

"Ah, in that case, I won't ask about the provenance. As for the price, it's one million faris per bottle. If they're not satisfied, you can raise the price, but it's best to get it at one million per bottle. After all, our group's funds are a little tight right now."

After finalizing some details, Finn and Grace left.

After they left, Livilia leaned back on the sofa, with a sad look on her beautiful face.

"I don't know if that young man would agree to one million faris."

Livilia's voice, tinged with a hint of worry, echoed in the living room for a long time.

Chapter 41 Pain and happiness?

morning.

"Merlin, speaking of which, what weapon do you use?"

Merlin was stunned by Hestia's sudden question.

"Tiaya, what's wrong?"

"Well, that's your business. Tell me first what weapon you use. I want to give you a surprise later."

Hestia smiled and shook her head, grabbing Merlin's shoulders and urging him on.

"Well, a dagger."

Merlin thought for a while and gave an answer.

Because his improved mechanical device discarded redundant parts and compressed almost all functions into the two power boxes of the device.

Because of this, the space inside the box is very limited.

Although it can hold some things, weapons like long swords obviously cannot be put in.

As for long-handled weapons, Merlin had no intention of considering them.

After all, if you encounter a narrow space when using a mobile device, the long-handled weapon you carry on your back may become a burden.

And he had already planned to hang a shield on the back.

Therefore, weapons can only be hung around the waist.

Therefore, it is very important to have weapons that are flexible, easy to use, small and easy to retract.

But if it is too short, it will expose itself to a dangerous position.

Therefore, a certain length is necessary.

"Really? Dagger, huh? Okay, I'll be leaving now. Wait for my surprise, Merlin."

Hestia smiled and patted Merlin's shoulder before leaving with a confident look on her face.

Looking at her leaving back, Merlin rubbed his head, feeling a little uneasy.

"Merlin-sama, is Lady Hestia... planning to buy you a short sword?"

Lily, who was standing aside, couldn't help but say.

"Well, it's possible."

Merlin nodded slightly. It was not difficult to infer this information from Hestia's previous words.

"But Master Merlin, I remember that Master Hestia doesn't seem to have much funds."

"And the price of weapons is not cheap."

Lily said worriedly, "Ms. Hestia, where are we going to buy weapons from?"

"Lord Merlin, now we..."

Merlin thought for a moment and then placed his hand on Lily's shoulder.

"Lily, go follow Tiya. If she does anything dangerous, stop her immediately."

"Ah, alright, but what about you, Master Merlin?"

"As for me, I have to go out and do something today."

"And I feel at ease when you're here, Lily."

"Oh... there's nothing I can do. Since Master Merlin has said so, Lily has no choice but to agree."

……

In front of Hephaestus's shop.

"Hey, are you looking for someone, bro?"

A hearty voice came from behind.

Merlin turned around.

What caught the eye was a black-haired beauty with a ponytail. She looked somewhat similar to the Jian Yulei clan. Her skin was a healthy wheat color. She was only wearing a thin shirt on her upper body, the hem just above her belly. Her plump chest made the lines of the shirt very obvious, and her lower body was matched with a red long skirt, which made her bold aura even more obvious.

Of course, what caught Merlin's attention the most was that the black-haired beauty in front of him had a blindfold on her left eye despite having a smile on her face.

And he remembered that Hephaestus, the chief deity of Hephaestus's family, also wore an eyepatch, but on her right eye.

"Yes, I'm looking for someone. Are you from Hephaestus's family?"

"Ah, that's right."

The black-haired beauty nodded, took a step forward, and waved.

"My name is Tsubaki Kobrand, and I'm the leader of the Hephaestus Familia."

"Well, Miss Tsubaki, huh?"

Merlin nodded slightly, "My name is Merlin, and I'm here to look for a man named Welf from your clan."

"Is he here now?"

"Miss Tsubaki? Haha, no need to be so polite, just call me Tsubaki."

"You looking for Welf?"

"Wait, Merlin?"

Chun was stunned for a moment, then repeated Merlin's name twice, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Ah, it's you, little brother!"

Tsubaki said as she strode forward and looked Merlin over carefully.

"For the past two days, Welf has been like crazy, forging a weapon called the Magic Lance, and the person he mentioned most frequently was Merlin."

"And it's not just Welf. Lady Hephaestus has mentioned your name before as well."

"So, little brother, what did you do to make Lady Hephaestus and that kid Welf pay so much attention to you?"

After saying that, Chun hooked her arm around Meilin's shoulders and pressed herself over him.

Thanks to this, the unique feeling after thousands of temperings distracted Merlin for a moment.

If I have to describe it, it is a kind of wild temptation that makes people involuntarily think of a cheetah running desperately on the prairie.

At this moment, an excited shout from the opposite side echoed in their ears.

"Oh, Merlin! Oh Merlin!"

"You finally came!"

Filled with intense excitement and joy, Welf, with a towel tied around his head, ran up to the two of them at lightning speed.

After seeing Tsubaki grabbing Merlin, Welf frowned slightly.

"Tsubaki, let Merlin go quickly, he is my guest."

"It's really rude of you to do this."

In response to Welf's words, Tsubaki retorted with a smile.

"Hoo, but the little brother doesn't seem to be annoying, like this."

Chun smiled and poked Meilin's cheek, then took the initiative to move closer.

"Ahem, Tsubaki-chan... Tsubaki, it's not convenient to talk with you like this."

Merlin coughed and reminded.

"haha, okay."

Tsubaki didn't continue hanging on Merlin, but took two steps back and glanced at Welf.

"Welf, do you mind if I follow along?"

"what?"

Welf's face twitched, his expression somewhat unsightly.

However, Chun is the leader of their clan, so it is difficult for him to refuse directly, so he can only pass the ball to Merlin.

"Well, Merlin, what do you think?"

"I?"

Merlin was slightly stunned. Before he could say anything, Chun came up to him and hugged his arms. With a "double blow", Merlin swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Merlin, you don't mind, do you?"

"……Um."

The power of the double strike is a little bit of a hit.

And the most important thing was that Merlin realized that the person who grabbed his arm, Chun, was probably a very powerful adventurer. The force was so strong that it made his arm a little painful.

Is this the legendary pain and happiness?

In this way, under the leadership of Welf, the three of them soon arrived at a meeting room.

Chapter 42 I want them all!

"That's about it. What I want to know is whether there are any materials that are well adapted to magic."

"As for adaptability to magic, then it must be Mithril."

Welf stroked his chin and gave a standard answer based on his experience and knowledge as a blacksmith.

"Mithril? Ah, that's a really boring answer."

Just as Welf finished expressing his thoughts, Tsubaki, who was sitting next to Merlin, shook his head repeatedly.

"Well, Tsubaki, you didn't mean it, did you? You know, when it comes to materials that are adaptable to magic, it must be mithril. Could you possibly name some other materials?"

Facing Welf's question, Tsubaki waved his hand and spoke slowly.

"It's true that mithril has great adaptability, but it's not the optimal solution. And the young man never said he wanted to make weapons. Speaking purely of the channeling of magic power, the 25th-floor aquamarine still has..."

Tsubaki continued to talk, and Welf's expression turned rather grim. He clenched his knees with both hands, looking unwilling.

"Welf, you're still a little naive."

"Is it really possible to inherit the name of Clozo just like that?"

"It has nothing to do with Clozo."

Welf argued quietly.

"Ah, yes," Tsubaki nodded perfunctorily and turned to look at Merlin.
