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

"However, I'm not doing charity. I won't help you become stronger for free."

"I'll pay for anything, no matter how much it is, so... can you give me that?"

Aisi quickly regained her composure, with strong anticipation in her eyes, and raised her hand to point at the iron suit behind Merlin.

"No, you can't use this thing."

Merlin refused without a second thought.

Just kidding, he has only developed one set of iron armor so far, and has no intention of mass production.

What's more, only he, as the creator, can use this kind of battle suit independently.

For others, it is quite difficult to use it flexibly.

"Woo..." Ai Si puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and looked at Merlin with a gloomy look.

"The money, um... I won't touch it, so you can continue."

"So, can you give me a set?"

Ai Si obviously had no intention of giving up, and this time she actually threw out a very tempting bait.

Of course, Merlin is not a black carp, so it is not that easy to catch him.

"This battle suit is not suitable for you. After all, you are already a very powerful adventurer. Even if you equip it with this battle suit, your strength will not increase much."

Merlin spread his hands and explained.

After hearing this explanation, Ai Si's expression relaxed a little.

“Then how can I become stronger?”

"Well, it's impossible to become stronger immediately."

"You obviously became stronger after putting on that armor called a battle suit."

"Uh...it depends on the person."

"They're all excuses."

The conversation ended, and soon an awkward atmosphere filled the room.

Merlin hadn't expected that Aisi, who looked as clear as a blank sheet of paper, would be so perceptive when it came to becoming stronger.

This also made the series of arguments he had just thought of seem a little pale and powerless.

Fortunately, at this time, he immediately thought of a new solution.

"Everyone's situation is different, but in a situation like yours, Aisi, with just a small opportunity or assistance, you can become even stronger."

Merlin stroked his chin and analyzed.

"Ugh...I don't want this kind of cliché."

Ais puffed up her cheeks again to express her dissatisfaction.

"Ah, I see. Okay, tell me about the weapons you use and your usual fighting style, and I'll give you a specific plan to become stronger."

Merlin knew that if he didn't come up with a specific plan right now, the beautiful blonde girl in front of him would not let him leave easily.

"Yeah, I use a rapier as my weapon, and my fighting style is to use speed and then..."

Ais quickly told him about the weapons she used, her combat habits, and even some random things.

This also shocked Merlin, who asked the question, a little.

He originally thought that Ais was the type of girl who was not good at speaking.

I didn't expect that he would be so eloquent when it comes to becoming stronger.

In fact, after Ai Si finished talking about weapons and fighting methods, Merlin had a rough idea in his mind.

"Okay, Aisi, don't move."

After hearing this, Ai Si immediately stood still without moving.

Merlin walked over to the Iron Man suit, picked up the helmet and put it on, then scanned Ais's basic ability values.

Just after he finished all this and put down the steel helmet.

From outside the house, a figure ran in quickly and immediately stood between the two of them.

"No, young Merlin, Aisi is still too young and has no experience. If you really want to do it, go for me!"

Livilia said excitedly while standing in front of Ais.

However, just as she finished speaking, she realized that the situation seemed completely different from what she had imagined.

The most direct evidence was that Merlin's pants were still on, and there was no sign that the clothes on Ais behind her had been taken off.

In other words, the conversation and events in the room just now were completely different from what she had imagined.

"Rivellia?"

Ais tilted her head and looked at Livilia with confusion on her pretty face.

"Woo...ah..." Livilia's pretty face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, even the pair of pointed elf ears were stained crimson.

The situation was not at all what she had imagined.

In other words, she was the one who overthought.

"'Ugh, that's not it... Ais! Forget what I just said! Did you hear me?"

Livilia couldn't think of an excuse to save the situation, so she just threw the jar and grabbed Ais's shoulders and gave the order to keep quiet.

"Ah, but you..."

"Did you hear that? Forget it!"

"Uh, got it."

Under the powerful aura and pressure from Livilia, Ais had no choice but to nod and agree. In fact, she had long forgotten what Livilia had just said. What was on her mind now was, what method would Merlin use to make her stronger?

"That young Merlin, just now..."

After dealing with Ais, Livilia couldn't help but turn around and look at Merlin. Her pretty face, still with a blush on it, looked at Merlin and said softly.

"I know."

Merlin smiled and nodded, naturally understanding what Livilia meant.

"Huh...that's good," Livilia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Merlin said something again.

"However, it might be a little difficult to forget Miss Livilia's cute reaction just now."

"Um... Young Merlin, please stop teasing me!"

Livilia said with a blushing face, wishing she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Just then, Merlin felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes. He turned around and saw Ais's cute little face.

"Merlin, I don't think I mentioned the reward, um, the price just now."

There was a hint of nervousness and apology in Aisi's eyes.

"As for money, I may not be able to come up with much right now, but..."

Before Ais could finish her words, Merlin shook his head slightly.

"I don't want money, I want..."

Merlin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a greedy expression as he explained to Ai Si the price he wanted.

Chapter 103 The Disappearing Supporter

When I returned to my residence, it was already around eight or nine in the evening.

But after returning, Merlin was surprised to find that Lily, who should have returned long ago, had not returned.

Hestia wouldn't be coming back tonight, she had already told me that.

He said he was going to attend some goddess meeting and was also preparing for the goddess meeting in two days.

Because at the next divine meeting, Hestia will get the title for Merlin.

If you can get the support of several gods in advance, the probability of getting a nice title will be greatly increased.

"Lily hasn't come back yet?"

Merlin raised his eyebrows and glanced at the Iron Man suit on the table.

Although the parts of the Iron Man suit were not damaged, the energy block on the central main body had turned black.

That’s right, this temporary energy core is no longer working and its energy is completely exhausted.

Merlin hasn't prepared a second spare energy block yet.

It’s a bit slow to prepare now.

"Let's find Lily's location first."

Merlin said as he took out the magic glasses from his pocket.

And this pair of magic glasses naturally also has magical perception.

Before Lily went out in the afternoon, Merlin put something that looked like a tracker on her. In fact, it was a device that contained a trace of his magical aura.

753 As long as Lily is still in Orario, the magic glasses can capture the magical aura.

"Drip."

A clear voice sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a rough map of Orario appeared on the magic glasses.

Part of the map is still blank.

Because those are areas that Merlin has never been to.

"Well, it looks like I need to go through all those places again and log in thoroughly."

"Never mind, that's for later."

"So, Lily, is it..."

"here?"

On Orario's crude map, a red icon flashed somewhere in the southeast corner of the city.

"This place..." Merlin frowned slightly.

The place where Lily appeared was not a commercial area or a market, but an area where some of the clan’s strongholds were located.

"It seems that the troublesome premonition has come true."

Merlin stood up and walked towards the workbench to get his equipment.

Now that the Iron Man suit cannot be used, we must make more adequate preparations.

……

The Soma clan, in the basement at the bottom of the mansion.

There are seven or eight cells here, which are also where the Soma group uses to detain members who do not follow the rules or have low income.

In the innermost, dark cell.

Lily was curled up at one foot of the room, her little face buried in her knees, her whole body exuding a gloomy and desperate aura.

"Lord Merlin... I'm sorry... I'm afraid we can no longer meet."

"Woooo..."

Tears streamed down Lily's cheeks, and her little eyes were filled with sadness and helplessness.

The past half month or so has made her feel like she is living in a dream, with every day being extremely fulfilling and happy.

However, the dream is now over.

The cruel reality made it impossible for her to continue to dream that beautiful dream.

Given Sunnis's personality, he would never let her return to the Hestia family after this.
