Chapter 84
The redemption of the “Head-Eating Black-Fiend” proceeded without any problems .
In addition to the reward for defeating them, the furs processed by the Adventurer Support Center will be sold directly to the facility . So I decided to add that amount to my compensation .
“Well then, so here’s your fee, please check it . ”
The receptionist said and handed me a heavy sack full of coins .
I took the sachet, suppressing my excitement .
The weight of the bag made me feel like I was going to lean over .
It’s heavy, just plain heavy .
I quietly put the sachet in front of the counter and gave Mea a look .
“I’ve served here for a good amount of time, but it’s been quite a while since I’ve given this much in one reward, sir . ”
The receptionist smiled happily .
There are no dungeons or other dangerous places near this city .
The opportunity to redeem such things would naturally be in a different branch, so the opportunity to pay out not so high reward money is probably not much .
“I’m sure we’ll all be looking forward to seeing what you guys do in the future!”
They cheered us on so powerfully .
Sorry to disappoint you, but Gaston is the one who is going to play an important role in the future .
You can expect a lot more from him in the future .
“Wow, it’s so heavy! Mea never had so much money in her life!”
Mea happily lifts the sachet .
She looks smiling, but if she hadn’t forced herself to buy the World Tree, she would have had more than twice that amount……
But at any rate, it’s a quick turnaround from being broke .
As long as we don’t live too flamboyantly, it looks like we won’t have any trouble making a living for a while .
I didn’t expect to make this much money in a single hunt .
The “head-eating black-fiend” is a mutant species that is rarely discovered, so this type of magic beast relatively not seen, but it still is a good start .
Even the debt to Mea will be paid off soon enough, and if I acc.u.mulate the money, I can buy magic tools, chimeras, even golems, I can make all I want .
From now on, I’m going to keep hunting
The books I’ve read about magic tools I bought in Lomarn’s town and the knowledge in my past life with materials in this world combined together, a lot of things come to mind that could be made .
I developed the magic of displaying a screen in the air at an early age, so I think I can make a high-performance mobile phone that can display a large screen without the need to take up that much s.p.a.ce .
I’ve heard of a magical beast that can alter its magic power to call its friends in the distance .
In short, it’s able to handle magic power like a radio wave .
I’d love to catch it and dissect it .
As long as we can acc.u.mulate enough money, we can start developing a mobile phone .
Since it was so widespread in the original world, I’m sure it will sell very well in this world as well .
If it succeeds, the world’s richest man is no longer a dream .
A man in a robe with a cell phone wanders around here and asks, “What’s it like in that country now? “I’m going to Google that for a minute” Conversations like that will be rampant .
Some people are going to open up their app games when they take a break from hunting .
The world is going to be in trouble .
It’s exciting just thinking about it .
We moved to the exit of the facility after we finished redeeming the “head-eating black-fiend”, but the jeers and hunches were very little .
There were a few people who saw me and started whispering and gossiping, but they quickly stopped it .
It looked as if the rumors themselves would be gone by tomorrow .
Gaston Power was great .
“It’s good to have their cooperation after all . ”
Mea frowns a little as I say it .
“Somehow, though, I have a feeling it’s going to collapse in a ridiculous way one day… is it going to be okay? “
“We’ll be fine if we back out quickly then . There won’t be any fatal evidence, so we can just move to another city and resume our adventuring business again . ”
Instead of piling up achievements of Gaston, it’s like a clumsy building blocks thing .
It’s impossible to imagine him continuing to succeed all the time .
And the higher you go, the greater the impact when it collapses .
Some caution would certainly be necessary to avoid getting caught in the collapse of Gaston Tower .
“Abel is pretty black-hearted…”
“I’m just trying to make ends meet . ”
I want the money, but I don’t want to awkwardly stand out .
I’m afraid I’ll get myself into trouble, and there’s no way I can be sure the Marren’s won’t come looking for me .
I’m sorry, but I don’t have the luxury of being able to think about Gaston .
After leaving the Adventurer’s Support Center, I made my way around the shopping district .
Since I had more money to spare, I bought a dismantling knife and polishing stone for Mea, and I changed the blade part of the World Tree for a little better .
I also got some dried fruit and dried meat for the next hunt .
I also bought more cloths so that my catch would be less visible .
The more people who see it, the faster it will be discovered .
Then I bought a beginner’s bow and arrows because Mea wanted to try handling them .
“Not that I have any experience with bows or anything like that at all, but I think I can handle it somehow!”
She sounds like a student before a test…… but she said she was fine with the cheap stuff, so it was no big deal .
Rather, “I found a cheap one, so I want to handle it” she said .
So even if the bow is useless, it doesn’t hurt .
However, because it was cheap, the condition of the wood and the quality of the strings does not seem very good .
It doesn’t seem useless, but the bows in the tribe are much better .
It’s conceivable that it could be three days old, though, so this might be fine for now .
“I’ll be able to finish off the far, far away prey that Abel’s magic can’t reach like a zubababaa!”
I’m confident that I can unleash my magic on a wider area than I can see, but I’d like to see you do well also .
“With this, Mea will be useful to Abel, too! Best regards, Shooting Wyvern!”
“…… is that by any chance the name of the bow?”
A wooden bow and a shooting wyvern…… . all the wyverns in the world are going to be p.i.s.sed .
I can’t speak for others when it comes to naming it .
“That shooting wyvern, won’t it better if you change the strings, sc.r.a.pe off the wisps and repaint it? It’s dangerous if you get wood chips in your fingers . ”
It might be better if I buy the materials and build it from scratch .
In fact, I have experience of making a bow in the Marren tribe’s village .
If Mea is really proficient with the bow, I’ll spend some time and money making a real one next time .
However, I know that Mea wants to have some special skills, but I’m a little worried that she might have to much to do and become a jack of all trades and master of none .
