Chapter 159 – Sargadis’ Newlywed House (4)
The first legendary item in my life was the dog fucking elixir.
Just in case, it’s a real elixir. I have a fucking headache.
Are you happy?
No.
Fucking fucking no
‘This… It’s not a thesis topic…’
That was the reason.
That’s why I laugh.
Elixir is a potion that still has recipes in modern times! It is considered to be a secret of one person’s superiority, non-human failure, and out-of-doors, but the recipe remains intact.
If you search, you will probably find something like an intangible cultural asset, an elixir master (18th generation).
So, in the archaeological community, the Elixir was not regarded as a great achievement. It’s like Coca-Cola in a different world, so it’s difficult to guess the recipe from the finished product.
‘No shit, it’s absolutely not a bad thing.’
In terms of price, this is more expensive than a mithril of the same weight.
A rare potion that even says that the only things that can’t be cured are death, cancer, and finally hair loss!
‘But I wished there was a recipe or something…’
If that was the case, I would have been able to get an amount that I couldn’t change even if I brought 1000 bottles of elixir!
But maybe money blinded us, so we drew knives among ourselves. When I think about it that way, I don’t think this is too bad.
Besides, we also got a map with other frontline bases!
Think you’ve got the money and be satisfied.
“Elixir?! Is that an elixir?!”
Tyrsi screamed as I came out with the box. Others’ eyes widened at the sound.
“Nono, Nord!! Can I, look at me, can I see it?!”
Tyrsi approached as if possessed and asked in a strange voice. I trusted Tirshi and held out the potion bottle.
“I have 4 bottles, can I get one of these?”
“Enough! 〈 Detect Coagulation〉!”
-Wheein. As Tyrsi cast a spell, light enveloped the potion bottle. I think that magic was also used to catch golems.
—————————————————————————————————————
Tirshi stared at the light and suddenly suffered from tremor. I was startled and listened as if taking a potion.
“Tirshi. What’s wrong?”
“Why, why?! This is the finest elixir with no sediment and evenly mixed mana! Four bottles would almost build a mansion!”
It was Tyrsi who asked why he wasn’t surprised.
No, that’s Lehu, which doesn’t feel real when the unit is too large. How can I say I hit the lottery? As I looked at the elixir suspiciously, Selena unfolded her fan.
“Ah haha!! I was the biggest surprise in my life! My eyes are about to roll!!”
Selena, who said that in a tone that wasn’t fucking surprised, told me.
“Mister Nord!! Congratulations!! It’s the first time in my life that I’ve seen Elixir!! My father had it, but he didn’t show it to me!!”
“Is that so?”
“Yes!! I’m quickly regretting putting up my pride on this!! However, the words spoken and the setting sun cannot be reversed!! We won’t ask for a stake in Mr. Nord’s elixir!!”
That’s what I’m thankful for while listening. But just in case, I should be careful not to get stabbed in the back of the head on the way back.
As Selena giggled, we naturally looked at Nathan, who cleared his throat.
“Hmm. The condition of the second contract was to divide the acquired goods into thirds, right? Miss Selena gave her share, so we only need one and a half bottles——only.”
Nathan interrupted him and chatted with his party members.
Can you see this at the angle of the head? I put down the potion box, but Nathan said as if he was very sorry.
“I will only take half a bottle for an emergency. It was all of you who found it from beginning to end, and didn’t you get help the other day?”
“Would you like to? I do not decline favors.”
Haha. I’m not here to make money. Let’s say you met a good co-worker. Please remember that Team Viridian always welcomes requests.”
“Ah. I’ll keep that in mind. Hehe.”
To Nathan, who spoke awkwardly, I distributed the elixir accordingly. Then he secretly laughed.
‘I know they weren’t much help.’
Of course, they couldn’t do that because their conscience was stabbed! Adventurers are those who get a fixed reward even if they haven’t done anything.
However, it was a word that was applied only to the depths of the deep sea layer.
‘Is it image management? It’s quite wise.’
The daughter of a major merchant guild in Romania, a doctor and head of a research institute in the field of archeology, and maybe finally me.
Giving the impression of being a ‘feeding insect’ to many people like this was something high-ranking adventurers had to avoid the most.
‘At the end of the day, I start to pay attention to my face.’
Who would trust a team of adventurers who would sell their conscience for money!
It’s a different story if you go higher than Mithril, but there are many partners of the same level.
There are a lot of alternatives, so if you can’t pay attention to image management, if you don’t want to live with part-time requests, you should behave well. Cancer. Cancer.
“It would be hard to find a better reward than this. You can report that you have broken through all of these towers.”
Said Nathan, bitterly packing half a bottle of elixir.
There was no one to dispute what he said. So we decided to take the few loot and go up the ruins.
For reference, Crown Crown’s book was reserved for Ralilura because no one wanted it because the content was ‘not much’.
“Ahahaha♡ Ehehehehe♡”
Lalilura smiles while holding the booklet in her arms, as if she is afraid that it will tear at all.
If I find a thesis topic, will it be that kind of reaction? I’m curious about what it is, so let’s ask next time.
‘Dana will add my name to this exploration report.’
─Exploration succeeded with the help of field master Nord.
Maybe it will be a report like that.
Think of it as putting your name in a group assignment. In other words, he has increased his strength as an archaeologist. If you find the ruins of the map, it might not be long before you can escape the Master’s Building.
Anyway, we retrace our steps and climb the tower.
“Cororororo——!!”
The bug monsters blocked the way, probably because they were summoned from various places in the other world as I thought, but all of them became bugs in return for blocking the platoon-level thread-like class.
“It’s the sun for the first time in almost 3 days!!”
As soon as she landed on the ground, Selena shouted energetically.
I checked my pocket watch. It is 1:20. Shit, it had already been three days since I entered that tower.
“Director of the Berbeia Institute. Sign this request…”
“Ah, yes.”
As the team came up, they got Dana’s signature on the paperwork and greeted us.
“Then I will go away. We plan to take a break and continue training, so we’ll see you again someday.”
“Yes. Hello come in Be careful.”
─Nod. Nathan and his friends nodded and went to their tents.
Like Nefertiti, the ability to cope with a breakup with freshness seems to be the skill of a veteran adventurer.
“Dismuke!! We are also ready to go back to Hayes Bend!! Power!! Get ready to come back!!”
“Yes, lady.”
“The funeral and condolence money of the deceased… Go back and tell me.”
A brief shadow fell over Selena’s expression as she sheathed her sword.
That pensive expression disappeared cleanly when he looked back at us, so I decided to ignore it. Because what I said was nonsense.
“Mister Nord. There were a lot of twists and turns, but I’m happy to be able to live like this. As I said, I will send you a plaque of appreciation when I return to Romania.”
“I will keep it well and show off to my guests. That I am acquainted with this future godfather.”
“Ah haha!! You say something nice to hear!!”
It was Selena who responded favorably to appropriate flattery. I don’t think she came over to my flattery with a merchant’s worth, and did she react appropriately?
Selena, laughing to the point of her tears, shook my hand and said,
“A relationship is a good thing. Sometimes, connections can protect lives or property. Just like it did this time.”
“There was a saying in the place where I lived that it was a relationship just by brushing the collar. So, isn’t it normal for us who risked our lives to fight together?”
“I hope so. Even in that sense, I would like to enclose the plaque of appreciation and send you an invitation, is that okay?”
“How about an invitation?”
Like being surprised by the mansion or something like that? It’s a little awkward.
Was it obvious that I disliked it? Selena giggled, unfolding her fan.
“This is an invitation to the auction! Every spring, an auction held in the capital of Romania where green life blooms!!”
Ah, is that an invitation? It was a situation where she couldn’t guess who would buy the elixir.
‘It’ll be a treat if you send it.’
At an auction, the price would be higher than usual. There must be a lot of people who are crazy about things like ‘the legendary elixir of ancient civilization (with magician’s guild’s certificate of authenticity)’.
“Thank you. That would be a good answer.”
“It was nothing!! I hope you make good use of your relationship with me to sell good things at a price that suits them!!
… Oh. By the way, do you know that a small fee comes to me?”
“Puhhhhh. That’s it, since I got an invitation, I’ll take it.”
─Tak! Selena seemed to be satisfied with my answer and folded her debt.
“As expected, you’re talking loud!! Show the appearance of a hero!! On the day we meet again, I will be a better sign!! You can look forward to it!!”
Was that a greeting? Selena went back to the tent with a hongso.
It seems that the appearance of a hero lies more in your laughter than mine.
“Write. It’s over now. Thanks to someone, my heart was tense and happy, so I’m tired.”
Dana, the only man between us, rudely turned and released his arm.
The reason why that is ugly is because our Nunna’s armpits are fucking erotic. While taking a good look, I was hit in the shoulder by Dana’s jab.
“Are you done? Let’s go home. I’m dying to wash it. I borrowed a horse, so it’s soon.”
“Ah, that’s what I mean. I’m sorry, but can I go back first?”
Tyrsi said with a raised hand. It was the most exhausting atmosphere among us because we couldn’t strengthen our bodies with mana.
“I heard that it was a one-day exploration, so I adjusted the schedule like that. I have work tomorrow, so I want to go back quickly and wash up and go to bed. Is that okay?”
“Ah. If that’s the case, never mind us. Thank you very much Tyrsi. I’ll share the price of the elixir later.”
“It’s mutual aid, what? Still, it feels good to hear thanks in return for all the hard work.”
Tyrsi smiles with a tired face. His francs also nodded his head.
“Nor, isn’t it hard? Wait here. I will go and fetch the horses.”
“Words? Did you borrow the horse?”
“Yes. Because I was in a hurry I hired people and left them.”
“I must have spent a lot of money. I’m sorry.”
“Is money a problem? It’s okay because my husband didn’t search.”
Having said that, Dana clapped her hand and went to lead her horse, taking her Franc and Tircy.
─Thump.
I sat cross-legged in the wilderness. Damn, you always go through hardships in places like this guy’s western movie set.
─Blow up.
As I clicked my tongue, Lalilura also sat down next to me. I looked at the blue sky without paying much attention.
I have a lot of memories of being with Frank in the night sky. But is it because he only lived in the dark world? The midday sky wasn’t bad either.
“I like that it’s blue and bright.”
“Really.”
Lalilura replied to the words that came out unintentionally.
The guy muttered in a condescending tone as he sat on the sand and held his knees.
“… Here you go, old man. Thank you so much.”
“What? If it’s the book I got this time, will I borrow it too?”
“Oh really. Don’t be careless. With a good head.”
– Tuk-tuk. Lalilura hits me on the shoulder as if I’m pouting. I smirked and fell to the floor.
“What are you thankful for? My mouth hurts when I thank each and every one of them.”
“Yes, yes. Let’s pretend to be good to each other. Anyway, since I met my senior, every day is full of ups and downs, so there is no time to get bored?”
“It’s because I’m like that. And I don’t have time to rest either, right?”
“Iknow, right. It would have been a big deal if I hadn’t been there this time, right?”
Lalilura took off her hat and drew her lines with her chapped lips.
“You know me, do you think I worked as much as I didn’t do any good the other day? What do you think, senior?”
“Are you talking about the time of the black magician? That’s right. Then she fought so well that I forgot about it.”
“Aha♡! I knew you would say that. Since the senior lives as if she has multiple lives, there’s nothing wrong with her having a reliable junior like me, right?”
“Heh. That’s right. But, is there anything you can do to help? Because Fran and Dana are there too.”
“Huh… I tried very hard too. Still, the family must be the most trustworthy, right?”
Lari Lura rang her nose with a rare low sound.
“… Wife, how many more will you add in the future?”
“I’m not royalty, and I wouldn’t take her ten wives. Still, it might be roughly 4 or 5 people.”
At that level, even among commoners, the number of top-tier men who excelled was a possible number.
I must have excellent wealth and ability to the extent that it is impossible to compare with the poor aristocrat, but my goal is a more difficult obstacle than that. It wouldn’t be impossible.
“Is that so. Two or three people.”
… Jump!
Muttered, Lalilura suddenly stood up.
She turned her hips away from me, dusted her pants, and laughed heartily.
“I’m looking forward to next spring☆! Senpai, will you take me with you when you go to Romania? I want to see the captain and the circus mates too!”
“Yes. No matter what.”
I replied with a smile and closed my eyes.
It’s next year
The 4th year since I came to this world was just around the corner.
