"Will you talk?"

"Mn!" She nodded in record time.

This time, I heard the story from Delia.

It's pretty similar to Victor's description. It is only that she never blamed him. In fact, she made him look like a hero for realizing the elf's intentions in such a short time. For her, it was simply that the elf was ruthless. And so he took advantage of Victor and put all his attention on killing her, to the point of being able to shoot a magic arrow from Victor's blind spot.

By the time Victor realized it was too late.

"Then... Ting! I deflected the arrow with my spear with a Ting! And I blocked the mana sword with a Ting again! and again..." she waved her hands to give seriousness to the Ting sound.

'From now on, Ting will be my favorite onomatopoeia.'

"After blocking the fourth attack, it was all over."

"I see. You did well. I hope it's not necessary for you to fight again or use your spear. It's your last resort, and if you really needed it, that meant Victor didn't do his job well."

"But he did the best he could," Delia supported him.

'Not good enough. The moment you touched your spear, he failed as a bodyguard.'

"I know he did his best."

Even if it's exhausting, we'll have to go to the labyrinth in the evenings to raise her levels and add more battle classes.

'I don't want to put all my hopes on a simple bodyguard anymore.'

"In about two more hours it will get dark..." I looked up at the sky.

"Shall we go in?" Delia pointed her finger towards the Solitary Temple.

"Delia... I just remembered something. Will you wait for me a bit? It won't take long."

If I got one good thing from my revenge, it's that I developed my acting skills. It's thanks to this that I can smile as if nothing happened.

"Mn, it is fine. I have a lot of things to do at the Temple. You'll be back before I know it."

"I have bear and deer meat. Which one do you want?"

"Bear!"

'No hesitation, huh?'

After handing her the meat, we kissed goodbye, and I cast the Space Travel magic. The place I should go to is Erick's place. I could travel directly to my home in the capital, but there's no room for the horse. I'll have to make modifications to it in the future.

So, for now the only option is to travel to the road that connects to Altamira City.

"Ah, right..."

*whistle*

My whistle echoed down the mountain, but nothing else happened.

'Stupid horse....'

***

Since everyone discovered the evil practices of the knight order, there are a few red dots in the city. This implies that they are no longer dragging adventurers to war, and thanks to that I can enter through the entrance in a civilized manner.

'Shall I make known the hidden entrance that the criminals have? Hm… Although it will sound contradictory, I will not. Because I may need it in the future.'

Being able to ride through the streets and avenues of the capital makes me nostalgic. Since the red dots mysteriously appeared on the map, I had stopped admiring the beauty of the surroundings. Even if the concrete is the same as any other, and the people are a bit rowdier than in other cities, it is in this place that my adventure began.

'Once everything calms down, I'll be back. Only that, this time, my team will have one more member.'

***

"30 Golden Eagle runes, 30 Ancestral Turtle runes, 30 Teriar runes, 30 Poisoned Aura Rune, 30 Fire Line Rune, and 30 Immobilizing Thread Rune... God..."

'- And here I thought the man had died. He was simply accumulating runes! God. I'm just afraid I don't have enough cash to pay for them now.'

Before visiting Erick, it is necessary to make money. And, after giving him 10 gold coins as an apology to that adventurer of the Red Flag guild who, in the end, ended up being discovered before time, I was left with 7.6 gold coins and 6 copper coins.

Erick may be a good blacksmith, but his end prices can scare you to death.

"Wait for me a moment, dear customer."

Of course, I'm at the Golden Rune Store to sell the runes I obtained after performing an arduous chain series to upgrade Counterattack and Space Travel.

The store owner respectfully bowed and headed inside, most likely to open the safe. This is pretty obvious if you think about it. Only a fool would keep that much money at the front desk.

"Phew, we are in luck, dear customer. I have the money to pay!"

It's a bit late to explain this, but the owner's name is Hans, and his class is Merchant Lvl 7. He's a guy with dark brown hair and green eyes. When I met him he was skinny, but now he's fat.

As for me, I am wearing a dark cloak that covers my body completely. And a different mask from the one I use to play the Golden Archer.

"This is the price, please check..."

30 Golden Eagle Runes = 30 gold coins.

You are reading story Did she already know what I would ask her for? at novel35.com

30 Ancestral Turtle Runes = 33 gold coins.

30 Teriar Runes = 39.6 gold coins.

30 Poisoned Aura Runes = 42 gold coins.

30 Fire Line Runes = 48 gold coins.

30 Immobilizing Thread Runes = 45 gold coins.

Total = 237.6 gold coins.

'My Holy God Solus... This guy is giving away money. Why didn't anyone warn me?! No, wait a minute. What if he's taking advantage of all these calculations to scam me?'

I quickly put on a serious and cold look.

"Are you sure this is the final price?"

Hans: "!!!!"

'- Did I make a mistake?'

Hans took the ballot in his hands and checked it as if his life depended on it. After 5 minutes of soiling the ballot with sweat, he looked at me.

"E-everything... Everything is in order, dear client."

'Really?!'

"I see"

"Here you go, dear customer. I'll be looking forward to future business with you."

With a wave of my hand, I put all the gold coins away in my inventory, and then walked out of the store. All this without neglecting my character.

"Despite all the money earned, why do I feel that it won't last long in my hands?"

Sighing, I rode through countless alleys quietly. If it was in my early days, then I would have to face waves of thieves, but this time there's no sign of them.

As for runes, I kept 5 runes of each type just in case. They may be useful in the future. Maybe Old Gerald will give me another mission and...

'I'll have a good laugh if that really happens!'

Before leaving the alleys, I changed my clothes and returned to my usual appearance. Only then I rode in the direction of Erick's blacksmith shop.

"Hello, Jack, Is Erick in?"

"Good afternoon, sir. Yes, I'll call him right away"

Actually, I already knew Erick was inside the store. I know that from the personalized marker on his blue dot.

"Emir, for a moment I thought you forgot about our talk!"

With a big smile on his face, Erick came to welcome me.

"Haha, you don't know how annoying it was to get that loot. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't forget it," I shook my head.

"I see the weapons I make for you guys have come in handy. I'm glad" Erick smiled.

If it wasn't for the runes fused on my bow and arrows, it would be impossible to defeat that monstrous Armored Boar Lvl 20. And although he probably thinks that Alessia was also part of the team, I won't clear up the misunderstanding.

"It's good that I tried that hard then." said Erick, still smiling.

"You're telling me that..."

"Yes, I succeeded in creating a spear from the loot Protective Bone!"

'Holy Solus! If the skull of the Armored Boar monster even resisted my arrows with skills, I'm sure that the spear will be able to withstand an entire elephant without even bending! It's to be expected how sharp its blade will be!'

"Jack, can you bring it?"

"Right away."

Seconds later, Jack returned with the spear.

[Boar Spear Armor] [(Rock) (Feather) (Empty)]

"The bone is intertwined as if it were three white threads. Its blade is double-edged, and so white and shiny that anyone would think it was steel. This part you see here... I didn't plan it. When the object was finished, this part magically appeared."

At the beginning of the blade, white threads intertwine backward. They will appear fragile, but they are composed of the same bone. It is to be expected that its user will die first before these breaks.

"Because of its shape, it is intended to deflect weapons, shockwaves, and mana residue. Ah, but despite the latter, this spear has a great weakness... Magic. If it receives magical attacks consecutively, then the bone will break."

I see. Tempered steel is a neutral material that can stand up to anything. Monster materials, on the other hand, have some weaknesses. But in return, they are stronger than steel in most aspects.

At a glance, it is possible to say that this spear has a great lifespan, greater resistance to physical attack, and greater penetrating power than steel.

"But there is a way to neutralize this weakness."

"What is it?"

With a serious expression, Erick said, "Tell me... Does this spear have a third empty slot?"

'Ahh. He only fused two runes because he wasn't sure if it had a third empty slot. If that's why then...'

"Yes, it does have a third empty slot."

Hearing my answer, Erick smiled.
