章 7: Cheapter 6

The next three days were quite monotone for Nero. He has set a plan for the day that in the morning at eight o'clock in the morning he goes to Dungeon to the first floor. And he spends about eight hours there, maybe less. Then around 5pm he comes to Ronan's shop. And then to the "Fertility Hostes" tavern and orders the usual: a plate of meats and a meat goulash.

Nero on the first day of ordering the armor and the first visit to the tavern. He purchased a loot bag, and he made arrangements with Ronan to collect rusty daggers and solder them. Ronan, on the other hand, melts daggers and makes them into bars as a spare for new weapons.

Nero comes to Ronan's every day, although he doesn't buy anything. Since he is now collecting for the first piece of armor, however, this does not prevent him from talking to his only friend in this world. Which results in a better knowledge of Ronan.

Nero learned that Ronan had left Hephaestus Family because he was accused of stealing the plans for the new blade. In fact, one of his former comrades stole his own weapon plan from him. And introduced him as his own. For which he was later accused. So even though Ronan did not have to, he left the family himself. And he began to broach and sell his own products.

Which was quite a surprise for Nero. It's a fact that Ronan is married.

And the first thought that came to Nero's mind when he found out about it. He was like that.

(Nero)-,, Who was capable of this?"

What Ronan could tell from the expression on his face. So he kindly punched him and showed him his wife's picture. Which turned out to have a "Black Wolf Magic" magic shop not far from here. But as far as her looks are concerned, she looked like a slightly older version of Luna from "HELLUVA BOSS".

Nero decided to visit her when, after killing the Boss on the first floor, he drops a loot in the form of a book of skills. Considering the fact that Nero fought this Boss every day during these three days. It never once managed to obtain a book of skills. Only steel daggers and a magic staff. Which he left in the room at the inn. For the magic staff to wait until he can get more of them and sell them wholesale.

As for Nero's budget, the profits from the three days of selling monster cores were 2,781 Valis. Adding his previously raised funds to him ... but after subtracting the cost of the meal and the one-week extension of the room. Nero's budget was 4100 Valis ... Theoretically, he had 4120 Valis. However, on his way to the Dungeon, Nero bought salty seaweed at one stall. He bought them quite a lot so he paid 20 Valis.

Now Nero is in front of the Boss's chamber in quite a record time, because after a few days of fighting with the same opponents. Nero gained skill and experience, so the goblins from the first floor were no longer a challenge for him.

If you ask why Nero didn't go to the second floor. It's because of the skill book from Boss. Because Nero is curious if he can promote the "little fireball" he already has. Whether he won't be able to use it. For this reason, Nero attacks this boss, whose tactics and strength are already very familiar to him. So today he will try his luck again. in getting the desired loot.

Nero opens the door to the Boss once again. And he sees the Goblin Shaman waiting for someone to kill him ... That's right.

Nero runs into the Boss's chamber with an abnormal sadistic smile. And as a greeting it throws a small ball of fire in the face of the Goblin shaman.

As a result, the spell to summon the three Goblins was interrupted, and the Shaman himself loses his balance. Because Nero fired another fireball into the Goblin's face. Nero can fire eight small fireballs for now. Which is quite a lot anyway, because on the first day after gaining this skill. Nero could only cast this spell three times.

Nero, after throwing the Shaman off balance, changes the distance between them quite quickly. And whenever the Goblin Shaman tries to get up, Nero chews another "little fireball" on him. And that's why Nero doesn't use the "little fireball" before reaching the Boss's chamber. To be able to kill the boss with ease now.

And after spamming Bosa, there is nothing he can do before Nero runs up to him. Nero hits the goblin shaman's beard quite forcefully with his blunt weapon. Which makes the goblin's bark broken ... crushed.

And when the shaman is unable to move after this blow. Nero stabs his Gladius between the Boss's eyes. And kills him.

Nero could immediately decapitate the Boss with his sword. However, Nero developed an unhealthy fascination from watching a wounded and defeated enemy plead for his life. Which is not very healthy.

And now after killing the Boss. Nero finally got another "Little Fireball" skill book and an E-rank monster core.

Nero opens the skill book without leaving the Dungeon. Hoping it will work, nothing happens. So, Nero discontinued his way out of the Dungeon.

Nero sold the monster cores to a friendly dwarf and increased his funds to 5015 Valis.

And he goes to Ronan's shop feeling a little better.

Nero already knew that he could afford the first piece of armor. However, he was not going to pay Ronan now. Because the armor piece is not finished yet. And Nero must have the funds to survive. Though he now carries about twenty-six daggers in his bag. This bag is fucking heavy anyway. However, it's also a good workout for Nero.

When Nero enters the store, he sees Ronan and the white-haired woman. Which apparently is his wife. Who at this moment straddles his lap and they kiss quite intensely.

(Ronan/Luna)-Hmmm...

As soon as the door opened and Nero entered the store. Ronan and Luna stopped what they were doing and looked at Nero.

Nero looked embarrassed and said he was ashamed.

(Nero)-.....-.-It's me .... I'll come later.

Before he could leave, however, Ronan and Luna split up and Ronan called out.

(Ronan)-Nero!! Wait...We were just waiting for you ... and ... that's how it turned out.

With a big sigh, Nero stepped back and looked at Ronan and an embarrassed Luna.

(Ronan)-hehe ... Nero ... come closer. She won't hurt you ... the victim in this arrangement is just me ... Auc

He said as Luna slapped him hard on the back of the head. And she said.

(Luna)-Nice to meet you Nero. My name is Luna and I am the wife of this unseemly moron who doesn't remember locking the door.

(Nero)-hehe...Nice to meet you too Luna. As you already know, my name is Nero Firebones.

(Ronan)-So today ... like every day ... hmm ... That's it ... Your shoulder straps are ready, but it takes two more days to finish the gloves.

(Nero)-I understand ... then I have a question.

(Ronan)-I listen?

(Nero)-Do the shoulder straps have to be attached to the gloves for me to use them. Can I put them on and buy them right away.

(Ronan)-I do not see a problem. At most, when I'm done with the gloves, I can connect them together in five minutes. So if you want, you can buy them now.

(Nero)-So how much for shoulder pads, Ronan?

(Ronan)-2150 Valis, Nero.

Then Nero takes twenty-one gold coins and five silver coins from his bag pocket.

Ronan took the coins and counted them up. Meanwhile, Luna, looking at the amount of coins and the contents of her backpack, looking at Nero. She said.

(Luna)-Nero, you've got a lot of it. It wouldn't be better to buy a space ring or a dimensional pouch.

(Nero)-??????yyy....

(Luna)-Heh...men...Okey...The space ring allows you to store inanimate items in a pocket dimension. A dimensional purse does the same, but is easier to steal and has less space. Which makes it cheaper.

(Nero)-And how much is the cheapest dimension ring?

(Luna)-Cheapest E rank dimension ring, since F is missing. It costs 3000 Valis. But it doesn't pay off too much, because you can store quite a few things there, you just get ... sort of like a 2x2 box. So if you want to buy it, the best and cheapest would be a D-rank ring, which is 10x10. Which makes it much more expensive as it costs 12,000 Valis. But worth.

Nero was bewildered by the price of the ring. After all, these are his two full armor ... in terms of value. And she tells him it's the cheapest. Nero realized that magic items are really expensive ...

(Nero)-Sure I will, but for now I'm busy buying armor from your husband. And I'll have to buy a better gun later ... also from your husband ... so only after I buy it .... Aaaa ... And apparently you run a magic shop.

(Luna)-Yes...He mainly sells books of skills, magical Grimoires ... magical canes and wands, potions ... books with information about ingredients obtained from magical creatures ...

(Nero)-Wait...wait...So ... theoretically ... you consume potions from ingredients from monsters.

(Luna)-Yes...Heh...Among others.

(Nero)-If you could sell me a book on ingredients obtained from monsters. So I would provide you with new ingredients over time.

(Luna)-Yes...Ronan said you conquer the entire first floor by yourself every day. So you could supply me with goblin blood. However, there is a slight problem.

(Nero)-what?

(Luna)-You see the monsters in the Dungeon are very different from those in the wild. As you probably know. But the most important difference is that when the monster in the dungeon dies, the monster disappears. And this one is not. So...

(Nero)-So, to obtain ingredients from a monster in a dungeon, you would have to obtain them without killing the monster.

(Luna)-And that would be....

(Nero)-I'll do it!-Nero said with a somewhat terrible sadistic face.

(Luna)-Are you sure you are human? Because you're acting like a demon.

(Nero)-Sorry ... yes, I am human ... But a bit weird.

(Luna)-At least you are aware of your flaws.

(Nero)-Yes, but changing the subject. I have a book of skills here, I have figured it out and used it once. But now I have the second one and it is useless to me.

Nero said, taking the skill book "little fireball" out of his bag and handing it to Luna.

Luna looks at the skill book for a while, then looks at Nero and talks.

(Luna)-F-rank book of skills, elemental class: fire. ,,A small fireball"

(Luna)-Skill books are one-off. And you can't use them twice ... so you want to sell it?

(Nero)-Heh...Yes.

(Luna)-The value of this book of skills is approximately 2,000 Valis.

(Nero)-What?!!

(Luna)-haha...Nero...I already know why Ronan likes you. The point is that the Book of Skills is quite expensive ... even the lowest rank. So it's easier to go and do it yourself. However, apart from you ... the people in the groups have to defeat the Boss, but the chance of getting a book of skills is quite low. And you are lucky to get it twice. Although the fact that you defeat the Boss, in solo significantly increases the chances of a good drop.

(Luna)-So if you want, I will buy this book of skills from you for 1700 Vali. Only because I don't know how much I'll sell it for.

(Nero)-Well, I agree. Always closer to the goal.

(Luna)-Okey...

Then Luna went to the cash register and came out with a large gold coin worth a thousand Valis and seven gold coins. And Nero handed it.

(Luna)-And Nero, for the future. Opposite the dwarf who buys monster cores. There is a currency exchange bottle and there you can exchange smaller denominations for larger ones. You won't have to carry that amount. Strange Ronan didn't tell you. What are you guys talking about?

Nero is a bit panicked, because some topics are better left unsaid. He answered.

(Nero)-About weapons, fighting prices and men's matters.-he said with an innocent expression on his face. Which made Luna look at him suspiciously.

Ronan rescued Nero from an awkward situation, and he returned with black metal pads.

Ronan then explained to Nero. How to put them on and take them off.

(Nero)-Thanks, Ronan...Ronan, then, I'd like to pay you for the gloves now.

(Ronan)-You are not afraid that I will take the money and no give you gloves.

(Nero)-I trust you ... And besides ... it wouldn't pay you to treat me like that now. Because you'll earn much more for me than those five thousand Valis.

(Ronan)-And he respects you for that. So pay a trip this way and I'll give you gloves in two days.

(Nero)-And this is how much the breastplate will cost. because it wants to buy next.

(Ronan)-A breastplate that he wants to craft for you will cost 25,000 Valis with the destruction. And don't be frightened by precious. Because you'll be able to add lots of runes to your breastplate. So you are ahead anyway. Because at the same price you can buy a breastplate with three runes, from the Hephaestus family. But you cannot add new ones. Which is why it is not profitable. And runes can be added to Luna. You will honor a lot, Valis anyway.

(Ronan)-Because look ... Breastplate with three rune ... not to mention the rune class. It costs 25,000, maybe more. A breastplate with four runes costs up to 40,000 Valis. So Luna will add a rune of about 1000 Valis. So think how much you save.

Nero thinks for a moment, then looks at Ronan and Lune gratefully and speaks.

(Nero)-Ronan, Luna. I really appreciate what it for me you doing.

(Luna)-No problem, Nero. This old wolf has no friends other than you. So that's not a problem.

(Ronan)-Yes...we are friends ... wait what?-he said with a smile, and then looked slightly offended at Lune.

(Luna)-hehe...

(Nero)-It's Ronan, how long will it take you to make a breastplate?

(Ronan)-About a month. As you yourself understand, he wants to do something difficult, but it will be worth it. And I have to finish the gloves. Well...

(Nero)-So, in the meantime, maybe when I collect the twenty-five thousand and give them to you. So maybe I'll buy some weapon, temporary because for a gun with runes, I'll wait until you finish my armor for me.

(Luna)-I can see you're not just a speedy bully like most guys ... Good. Ronan will prepare a weapon for you, and I will give you a free rune. the Ronan should have some kind of sword with the option of adding one ore, for an amount of up to 10,000 Valis.

(Ronan)-Yes, even a few.

(Nero)-Okay, that's later. And now he wants to sell those rusty daggers.

He said and took about 50 rusty daggers out of the bag. Which can barely fit in the bag.

(Luna)-You really need a space ring.

(Nero)-I know.

Ronan then chewed all the rusty daggers into the empty box. And then he gave Nero one big gold coin worth 1000 Valis and two gold coin.

So Nero now has 2916 Valis left.

(Nero)-Ronan,Luna plans to take a day off soon and are there any old buildings in town? I'm curious about their architects.

(Luna)-?

(Nero)-I like being in old buildings with history. it helps me think.

(Luna)-Hmm ... There is an old guild building and an old abandoned church in the immediate vicinity.

(Nero)-,,So much walking around the city and looking for the Hestia church was enough to ask: Hehe ... stupid me."-Think Nero.

(Nero)-Then where is this abandoned church?

(Luna)-Do you know how to get to the "Fertility Hostess"?

(Nero)-yes...

(Luna)-The way out of this tavern is a right. You go to the nearest intersection. You turn right then walk until you see the adventurers' guilds. Then, right behind the guild, you turn right and you should see an abandoned church.

(Nero)-Thanks Luna. Well, that's about it. I am ide and you go back to what you are doing .... And also Luna. Drop by your store tomorrow evening. For the book we were talking about.

Then Nero said goodbye to Ronan with a fraternal handshake, said goodbye to Luna. And he went to the "Fertility Hostess" for dinner.
